FARMER KILLED BY A NEGRO.
FELL INTO HIS WIFE'S ARMS AT
TER THE FATAL SHOT.

The Assassin Then Tried to Break
Into the Davis Home, But the Door
Was Locked-Davis Had Discharg-
ed Him a Few Days 3efore-Chnse
Was Made without Success-There
Was Some Talk of a Lynching.
Atlanta, May 12.-The murder OF ROD
ert F. Davis, a well known citizen Of De
Kalb county. residing a mile out from De-
catur, at an early hour this morning, may
bring on a lynching there.
viii Lucas, a negro employed on the
Davis farm, is supposed to have com
mitted the crime, and there is some ground
from the suspicion that he intended to
supplement the assassination Of the head
of the family with another even more
horrible crime.
After he had shot Mr.. Davis, through
the window, leaving his wife and daughter
unprotected, the negro went to the front
door and endeavored 70 get inside the
house, but was finally frightened away
by the screams of the women.
Mr.. Davis had discharged the negro on
account of his worthlessness, but at the
time Of his dismissal he did not show
any resentment. Last night early, how
ever he came to the house and tried to
effect an entrance. This was before the
family had retired. Mr.. Davis went out
to see what caused the noise, and plainly
saw the negro making off, recognizing
him as Lucas
About 1 o'clock this morning, Mr. Davis
was again aroused by a noise in the rear
of the house. He got up and went out
90 see what it was. Standing before the
back door he struck a match Just as
he did So bullet came crashing through
the window and struck him below the
heart. Mrs Davis had followed him. AMI
was by his side just in time to catch
him as he was failing.
Mrs. Davis and her daughter quickly
locked the door and began screaming.
Their cries brought neighbor who had
also heard the shot to the scene, and in
a short while a posse with bloodhounds
was making search for the assassin.
Mr.. Davis was mortally wounded He
rallied only long enough to indicate that
the negro, Lucas. was the one who shot
him. and then sank steadily and died this
afternoon. The murder has caused a
great deal of excitement about Decatur.
and threats of lynching 'were freely in
dulged in. The negro was supposed to
have headed toward Atlanta after leaving
the Davis home, as he has relatives here.
and the local police at once began a close
search for him

Atlanta, May 12.-Brig. Gen. Royal T.
Frank, commanding the department of
the Gulf, was to-day mustered out of the

was issued by the war department some
time ago. Gen. Frank will resume his
rank as colonel of the First Artillery, but
will continue in command of the depart
ment until the war department desires to
make change.
Maj. G. H. Macdonald, major and chief
ordnance officer of volunteers, is also
mustered out to-day. He is now the act
ing Judge advocate of the department and
the effect of the order simply gives MIN
his former rank as captain of cavalry.

THE CATTLE COMBINE.
The Pool May Include Cochise County
 Holdings.

It is reported that the Consolidated Cattle Co. who are to control the large cattle interests of Texas and New Mexico have also cast their eyes to. ward Arizona and will endeavor to in- corporate many of the larger Arizona cattle concerns into the mammoth pool. As the largest cattle owners of the territory have their big herds Tn Cochise county and the further fact that the ranges would be practically adjoining those in New Mexico, on which options are already secured color is lent the theory that the pro- posed combination will also operate in this territory and have holdings in this county. Should the company embrace large individual cattle hold CTS and companies in this county 100,- 900 cattle could be easily included in the deal and clear range to the ad- joining holdings in New Mexico be gained thereby. It is understood ne- gOtiations are now on and an effort being made to carry the plans into effect. As the matters of the com pany now stand nothing less than the roundup of 6OO,O head of cattle on ranches in the Panhandle district of Texas and New Mexico is contem- plated by the promoters of the pro- posed Consolidated company.
 The cattle business during the last few years has furnished enormous pro- fits to ranchmen and breeders At present the prices of cattle on the Chicago market are higher than they have been during any summer in the last twenty years. The feeding con- ditions on the ranches are also better than they have been for several years, and altogether the chances are favor. able that with the formation of the cattle pool the Arizona interests may be found included. -Prospector.
