MISSING LINK MURDERED.

Being 2

Chicago, July 16.-A special to the
Tribune from Bonesteel, S. D., says:
Upon the question whether his victim
was brute or human, depends Archie
II. Brewers guilt or innocence of the
crime of murder. Brewer was one of
the owners of a small tent show which
came here for exhibition. Among their
attractions was what was called 1.-The
missing link" Brewer now AYERS that
the freak was a monkey.
In scuffle with IT, the Snowman
became angry, and, Selling a heavy
club, dealt his antagonist a hard blow
over the ear, from the effects of which
1t died in a few hours.
The local authorities placed Brewer
under arrest on charge of murder.
AT the preliminary hearing his law
yers set up the defense that their client
did not take the life of human being,
but the magistrate bound him over to
the grand jury.

CROP DIvERsIFICATIoN.
To The Eagle.

Not long since my attention was
attracted to an article in The Eagle
from the pen Of j. NJ. Saladiner,
giving somt figures showing how
tobacco can be grown with profit
by the farmers Of Brazos county.
It all sounded very well and to a
novice in the history Of our eli.
mate, soils aud markets it is GER
tainly quite tempting to take up
tobacco as a side venture.
Allow me so point out some
things overlooked in the article
referred to. The sl79 cost Of rails.
ling ; bales Of cotton can be les
soned by deducting value Of seed as
feed product and fertilizer. He
/ placed his estimate too low on the
average production Of our uplands
during fair seasons. His cost OF
labor is entirely too high, besides
the cotton crop il giving the
laborers employment; in other
words it is the only means Of
sure credit aud an all round job.
Tobacco will not stand our wei
summers on account Of spots OF
black rust eating holes in the leaf
It Is well known that most Of ouI
summers are dry, entirely too dr.
and hot for the leaves of tobacco L

No one need deny that here and

well suited to grow good tobacco
