Tbos. Callan, of Custer, S. d., who will
be remembered by many Of our old
residents in this county has been in
town the past week visiting with friends
and relatives. He was on his way TO
Sioux City, where he intended to have
an operation performed for the removal
of a cancer from his lower lip. But
while here he changed his mind and
decided to let DR.. Hoyde remove the
cancer, which was done yesterday after
noon with great success. The operation
was the neatest and most successful one
ever performed in this locality, sc we
are told by those who know. A large
piece of flesh was cut out of his cheek,
and inserted in the place made by the
operation, in such a way that Mr.. CAL
Ian will be around as good as new. The
cancer started from a crack in his lip
about a year ago.-Vermillion Plain

The trains from the south have been
very irregular during the past week.
This is caused by the deep snow drifts
down on the prairies Of Nebraska. This
has been the case every winter since
the road was built and it upsets the
~preconceived ideas of all travellers to
the Hills country. They expect to be
hindered and delayed by deep SHOWS in
the mountain gorges, bu: they never
are. They expect while on the broad
prairie to roll rapidly along without
hinderence, and it is there they are de-
layed.

SEQUEL to an Elopement
in Texas.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

IONGVIEW, Texas, Sept. R.-Panola
County, especially Beckville, is excited
over a terrible triple tragedy. The trouble
started with the marriage Of James For
svthe. a highly respected young man, and
Miss Ollie Simpson, a belle Of the neigh
borhood.
1t seems that Forsythe did not have the
approval of the girls father, Andrew
Simpson. for the hand of his daughter,
hut with the assistance OF several young
men in the neighborhood he succeeded in
elcping with the young lady and they were
married Saturday night. This so angered
the old gentleman that when he learned
OF the wedding last evening he saddled
nm his horse and loaded a double-barreled
shotgun and took his pistol, declaring he
would kill the whole party concerned.
AS he rode up to Forsythe's home he saw
his son-ln-law fleeing through the or
Chard He brought him down with seven
buckshot in the groin, leaving him for
dead. He then rode toward the house.
Lang H Forsythe, father of James, came
out to see what the trouble was. and was
Instantly killed with a load of buckshot In
the abdomen. Simpson then dismounted
and ran into the house with his, pistol,
saving he would kill his daughter, but the
mother Of young Forsythe ran between
them and held his pistol until the girl
was helped away. Simpson then walked
ont 70 the front gate, put the pistol TO his
forehead and killed himself instantly.
Young Forsythe is desperately wounded,
hut may recover All stores In BeckViile
are closed and business in general Is sus-
pended on account of the tragedy.

NOTE LIKE
ULTIMATUM
Transvaal Consents to Con-
ference and a Peaceful
Settlement Predicted.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Sept. ia special dis
patch from Pretoria says the British
note which was read in both Raads
yesterday CTuesday) is regarded there
as a virtual ultimatum. The corre-
spondent says: 1t proposes a five
years franchise, quarter representa-
ton for the gold fields in the Volks-
raad, equality for the British and
Dutch in the Volksraad and equality
for the old and new burghers in re-
gard to presidential and other elections.
If these conditions are accepted a
conference between representatives of
the two governments shall follow for
the purpose of drafting the necessary
measures and of avoiding the introduc-
ton Of unnecessary conditions by the
Transvaal Government or the poSsibil-
ity of passage of any new bills calcu
lated to defeat the reforms.
I'm view of the fact" the note goes
on to say, that the present state Of
affairs in South Africa cannot be pro-
longed the definite acceptance of this
proposal is demanded without delay.
Otherwise her Majesty's Government
will Immediately take the whole situa-
ton under reconsideration and will act
so as to bring about settlement.
CAPE TOWN, Sept. 12.-Various un-
official reports that have been received
from Pretoria predict the Transvaal s
acceptance Of the terms Of the latest
dispatch, which was read in the Volks-
raad this afternoon and is understood
to furnish a basis for negotiations
which will possibly lead to a peaceful
settlement.
BLOEMFONTEIN, Orange Free
State, Sept. 12.-The Daily Friend says
it has excellent authority for predicting
that the Government of the South
African Republic will accept the sug-
gested conference at Cape Town. The
delegates will probably be Commandant
General Joubert, Vice President of the
Transvaal; j. M. A Wolmarand, one
of the two non-official members of the
Transvaal executive council, and Mr..
Fischer who has figured prominently
in some of the recent negotiations as
the special representative of the Orange
Free State.

MISS HOWELL
FOUND NEAR
HER HOME
Wandered About for Nearly
Two Days in a Demented
Condition.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

COLFAX, Sept. .12.-Lander, small
station three miles west of Colfax, was
thrown into a great excitement yester-
day by the mysterious disappearance Of
Miss Rhoda E. Howell, daughter OF
John G.. Howell, proprietor of the we'll
known summer resort, Menopolia
Miss Howell started out for a walk
Sunday evening about 80 o'clock. She
said she was going for a short walk
and would return soon. In about an
hour it had grown dark and the fam
lily, wondering why she did not return,
began to call her. Receiving no an
swer, they searched the premises, with
out finding any trace of her The neigh
bors were notified and the search was
kept up all that night. In the morning
Mr. Howell came to Colfax and report
ed the disappearance to the authorities,
and a number of men were detailed to
hunt for the girl. They kept up the
search all day Monday and Monday
night, without success. The Yuba ditch
was emptied, on the chance that she
might have fallen into it and been
drowned.
This morning the frebell was rung in
Colfax to gather a crowd, and every
person who could possibly go started
to search the hills. They met with sue
cess, for shortly after 10 o'clock Miss
Howell was found not a quarter of a
mile from her home on the county road
in an almost demented condition. When
found her hair, which is very long, was
hanging loose and was matted. Her
dress was torn to shreds, and her shoes
were almost cut to pieces showing that
she had been wandering night and day
since she was lost.
Miss Howell said this evening that
she started out for a short walk She
had not gone far when it began to
grow dark She then turned toward
her home, but lost the path She says
she had not gone far until she fell, and
remembers nothing until she was found
this morning. Miss Howell is resting
easily, and has a chance of speedy re-
covery If brain fever does not set in
from the shock. She is a beautiful girl,
16 years of age, highly accomplished,
and is the belle of Placer County. Ev-
cry one is rejoicing at her recovery.

PEACEFUL SOLUTION
NOW SEEMS PROBABLE

PRETORIA, Sept. 12.-The reading in
the Volksraad to-day of the reply of the
British Secretary of State for the Colo
nies, Joseph Chamberlain, to the latest
TranSvaal note, was greeted with silence
except for some Interruptions from Mr..
Tosen and other ultra conservative mem
bers. Its terms, however, have produced
conSdera BILE excitement.
There is no indication as yet of the
views held regarding 1t in official circles.
The Volksraad has instructed the Gov
ernment to dismiss Mr.. de Jonge Secre-
the newspa pers accusing the ministers of
the United Dutch church of jingoism be-
cause they wanted more English educa-
tion in the state schools.
LONDON, Sept. flowing to the un-
derstandng that Mr.. Chamberlain's note
is to be published simultaneously in
summary has yet been telegraphed. The
London papers are inclined to withhold
comment until the text is available.
Despite the fact that the note is de-
scribed as an ultimatum, the balance OF
opinion tends to regard 1t as a rather
moderate document, since, apparently il
does not fix definite time limit. leaves
the real crux of the dispute for the pro-
posed conference and does not raise the
question of suzerainty. In a word, the
note seems to leave the way open to
further negotiations.

mary obviously important, says: ut is
