OF Mad Man.
Picavune the Scene of Foul
Murder Saturday Night,
In Which Mrs. Ira Smith Was
Killed by Her Son-In-Law,
Seeing Escape Hopeless lie

Instantly.

Picayuno, Miss, July S.-Our
little town was greatly shocked
and Mortified last night at the
cold blooded murder Of Mrs. Ira
Smith of this place by her son-in-
law, Lott Herrin.
He shot her twice with a Win
chester rifle while standing in her
door and after she had fallen on
the floor he deliberately took aim
and fired a bail through her head
while she was pleading for mercy,
saying she was dying and not to
shoot any more.
He fired several shots at Mr..
Smith, the deceased's husband,
without effect, the old man max
ing his flight.
Some time ago Herrin sworc
that he would kill his wife as wei
as both her mother and father,
and would no doubt have done SC
had his wife been at home.
The trouble was caused by
Herrin's wife leaving him some
weeks ago, and the old folks
would not consent to her return.
ing to him.
Herrin was about fifty years Of
age while his wife was a young
woman.
He made no effort to escape,
and while a posse was planning
to capture him and was securing
the country for him he was lying
around the house trying to get
another shot at other members
of the family,
Messrs. Bounds and Culpepper
Of Hattiesburg arrived here at
O'Clock with blood hounds, but
they were not needed, for as the
crowd approached the house

The Eastern Question

The situation in China is be-
coming very serious, and just
where it will end it is not safe at
this time to venture prediction.
1t is manifest, however, that the
allied powers have a bigger job
on their hands than they at first
thought. The opinion prevailed
at the beginning Of the trouble
that an army of few hundred
European soldiers could drive
the Chinese army as lot OF cow
bows would a drove of Texas cat
tie. But this was an error. They
reckoned without the facts, and
unless matters are amicably adj
iusted by diplomatic agencies a
great war is in the near future.
OF course, in the conflict the Chi
naman will ultimately go down,
but before he does he will drench
the Celestial Empire with the
blood of countless Christians and
cause the outlay of billions of dol
lars. think it the duty of the
United States to protect their
citizens in this Inflated land, even
if it takes every able-bodied man

this as I did about the Spanish
American war, and | am ready to
back up my feeling with action.
But l should greatly prefer get
ting them out of China and bring
ing them home, leaving the whole
business to the ghost of Con-
fucius, to go to hell Neryana or
wherever the Fates may consign

give the life of one faithful coon
dog to convert every Chinaman
that ever wore a queue to the
Christian faith. No, sir. The
game is not worth the candle,
and l am in favor of letting the
whole hurdle go. Further de-
velopments will be awaited with
interest and the best, hoped for;
while we should not be disap-
pointed if the very bad should
happen. Vardaman.

dying instantly,
1t was a horrible scene and one
that will not be forgotten soon by
the good people of Picayune.
Herrln was candy drummer
and often appeared IN Hatties-
burg and this section of the state.
For a month or two he boarded
here with his wife at the Hammer
house.
BY those who knew him well
he was not considered a man with
a very strong mind-in fact he
was believed by some to be vorg-
ng or the cave of insanity.
As stated above his wife is
young and rather handsome and
no doubt he was desperately jcal-
Gus Of her, to that degree, per-
haps, sufficient to deprive him Of
what little sense he had, and
when her parents refused to let
their daughter live with him
longer he decided that it were
better for all to die, and hence
the beginning of the horrible
crime.-Hattiesburg Daily Prog
