SHOTDEAD IN Ills FIELD.
Farmer In Murray County AS.
sassinated by Unknown HAN.

Harris Bramlet, a well-kno"n citi-
zen. who was accused of being an in
former in the recent whitccap eases
of Murray county, was brutally shot
down while blowing in his plantation
ten miles south Of Spring Place. An
unknown man, with black beard,
appeared from ambush and fired both
barrels of his gun, the contents of
which lodged in the stomach of Mr..
Bramlett, killing him instantly.
The assassin remained in his tracks
and reloaded his gun and discharged
it again in the dead body, so mangling
it that the remains could scarcely be
removed to his home.
The murderer fed to the hills and
has made good his escape.
Great excitement prevails in that
section of the county and should the
relatives and friends of the deceased
overtake him he will reap his reward
in q summary manner.

VIRTUES OF TIL BOERS.

These Untutored Toilers Have
Won British Esteem BY Their
Heroic and Generous

The British soldiers went to South
Africa with a feeling OF contempt
for the Beers. They regarded them
as coarse and illiterate and lacking IN
courage to face thoroughly organized
and disciplined troops, The BRUSH
officers looked on campaign IN South
Africa as a sort of picnic, and they

namely. that the British army would
be in Pretoria by Christmas.

that they were mistaken. They frank

A Rem.rkahIe Landslide.

A landslide of remarkable proper
tions followed the recent EARTHQUAKE
in San Jacinto county, Southern Cali
fornia. 4 tract covering 600 acres on
San Jacinto mountain and 1000 feet
above the sea level slid $50 feet down
the mountain and filed the small val
ley with debris. Great masses OF gran
lite were split by crevices four feet
wide and seyenty-dve feet deep The
falling mass was upheaved as it fell,
giving the earth the appearance OF Il
mighty conyulsion. The theory of
local biologists is that a vacuum under
the mountain, caused by drawing off
water for irrigation, became filed
with gases and that the explosion of
these gases tore through the crust of
the mountain and produced the earth
quake and landslide.

from Starvation,
The latest official reports from fam
inc districts il India say that the mis-
cry existing there is indescribable and
unparalleled and that the present re-
lief is quite inadequate. They add
that the mortality among the cattle is
also so severe that the authorities are
trying to adapt farm implements so
that human power can replace that Of
bullocks. Such a drastic measure has
never before been necessary even in
the greatest scarcity of animals.
1t is also announced that the natives
are developing ugly feelings 'and are
attacking Europeans. A great crowd
Friday murderously attacked a party Of
soldiers at Shahpur, the military cen
ter of the northwest provinces. The
soldiers were rescued with difficulty
and in an unconscious condition.
One district lost 100000 out Of L.

human beings were found dead from
starvation. In addition, children were
found wandering in all directions,

sold Tie official reports fully confirm
the worst stories Of the terrible Nature
of the distress.

little consolation to know that the

was very little hemorrhage. So that
the number of men totally disabled

the animal three miles, when Miss
Bessie lassoed him and dragged him
back to the house. The wolf broke,
but she lassoed him again and then
killed the brute with her heavy boot
