CorteZ have fired with jealousy the heart
OF VelasQuez, Governor of Cuba who sent
him to conquer Mexico, and Cortez and

tragedy at Kanopolis yesterday. Thomas
Minardi, a Polander, who worked in the
salt mines at Kanopolis, boarded with
AIr. and Mrs. George Pink
Il seems that Mrs. Pink recognized
AIinardi an escaped murderer. wanted in
italy for killing a man, woman and child.
He had been tracked to South America,
and only recently came to Kanapolis.
Learning that his identity had become
known and fearing that ne would be, given
up, Minardi determined TO kill the family.
He started in by shooting Pink and his
wife. The wounds did not prove serious,
and Minardi slashed Pink about the face
and neck with a razor, cutting of one
ear, almost severing the nose. and cutting
two gashas in his throat. Pink viii die

plunged headlong into a shaft at the salt
works. The body bounded from side TO
side, splattering the timbers with brains
and blood, until it reached the bottom,
! 600 feet below. The head and hands
were torn from the body by the force.
The remains were gathered up in sack
and brought 10 the top. where they were

Has T7any NiSIakes.

Mr.. J. A. Dawson, cashier Of the Com

other day as being seriously opposed to
the Breidenthal banking bill He says
the law is a great injustice to private
banking institutions an injustice more
noticeable today than when the bill was
first made a law. There are several mis-
takes in the bill, he says but that por-
ton Of it which says that private or
state banks shall not loan more than
four times the amount Of the capital
stock. stands out as the most prominent
mistake of the entire bill Many private
banks have deposits which run ten or
twenty times more in amount than the
capital stock, and such banks are unable
TO loan a great amount OF idle money
on account Of the laws restrictions. For
this reason many private banks are being
