AN 1NHuMAN MEASURE.

AN lNHUMAN MEASORE
From the Binghamton Leader.
Attention has called a recent report from London
to the effect that the concentration camps in South Africa
contained during the month OF August 376fo persons and
that 1855 died during the month 1873 Of the deaths
being those Of children This is equivalent death rate of
goo per 1000 about ten the normal death and it
affords some idea Of the rapidy with which population
through the fundamentally Of the con-
cenration system this system that employed by
Weyler the horror OF the civilized world and it
this system which England is resortng mercessly
and with such deadly South Africa The popula
ton Of these camps made up OF the aged the inrm and
women and children They combaans but their in
human concentration deemed necessary
The Springfield Republican says OF this at is of
determination waged simply and solely for the glory OF
overRrown empire and cruel and damnabe the Spanish
in Cuba and much excuseless. The British papers
used point the Weyle proceedings evidence OF the
innate cruelty Of the Spanards but here the meth
under British employment with deadly deadler
effect and OF the English people would doubtless
be ready mob rrotesans against this unholy
coming into full knowledge of what is going on
And this is the bossul AngloSaxon the civilized Brton
that resortng this nhuman policy wipe people
he has found himself unable conquer man-fashion. 1t will
be the probably of hasning the end it will enable
England into earlier possession Of territory which
she has only the claim OF but the Republican

ATTEMPTS TO KILL.


From the Kansas City Journal
Ar ,b assault on President Mckinley, and before ms
d.h ,he washington Post advanced the proposition that
debe,a, attempts at murder although unsuccessful sno
he ,bed as severely as murder itself The Post followed
b M ,pp,ber Of articles arguing the justice and sound
ness 81 il, poson 1t pointed out that the crime OF inc
he murderer was complete so far as his intent ana ac
was concerned when he did the deed which he expected
would destroy the life Of his victim and that death dd not
was merely the good fortune of the latter and not to
the assailants credit
The Posts reasoning not without pausbiliy me rea
crime Of the murderer although the law does not SO regau
il the deliberate purpose and attempt to kill not the result
Of the effort The takes the intention into consideration
in fixing the degree Of the crime but life must be destroyed
before legal case murder he made or the punishment
prescribed for murder inflicted AS matter OF fact the man
or woman who plans murder and takes the decisive steps TO
carry out heart and deserves to be pun
sbed accordingly 1t look if lack of skill or &C
cden that os his purpose should be regarded as something
in his favor.
However that may be- it is booess TO discuss the ques
ton in anv other than theoretical way AS long so many
murdecrs whose crimes complete in results
as well as in purpose are permitted escape there is use
in talking about hanging those who attempt and fail When
legal techncaes and fmsy pleas of insanity no longer
serve TO cheat Justice Of dues in behalf of those who sue
coed in killing may be profitable to take the subject OF
increasing the legal gravity Of the crime of deliberately at
tempting to kill But that time, fear, is long distance

Greencastle Woman Assaulted Nv
Fiendish Negro.


Di. f. A. Bushey was one of
Greencastle's prominent physi-
clans for number of years. In
his family is employed Miss Liz
zie Gossard, aged 30 years. Jo-
seph Powell, a burly negro q
years of age, is the Doctors hos
tier.
The heinous crime, which caus-
ed a great deal Of excitement and
indignation in Greencastle, was
attempted about s. S.30o'clock Sun
day morning, when Miss Gossard
was engaged in milking the cows.
She had entered the stable and
was sitting on a small stool beside
one of the cows when the negro
came in. Stealthily he made his
way to the stall where Miss Cos
sard was and like a beast pounced
upon her before she vas aware of
his presence, it is alleged.
Realizing that the negro intend
ed to do her bodily harm, Miss
Gossard screamed for help. This
did not alarm the fiend, who seiz-
ed the frightened woman and
with all the fury of a mad man at
tempted to tear her clothing off.
Miss Gossard battled with the
fiendish fellow until her strength
was almost exhausted. She was
bruised and scratched about the
neck and arms and almost pros
trate with fright when the negro
was hastened from the stable by
the arrival of little Lamont Bartle,
about 10 years old, who was at
tracted by Miss Gossard's cries.
The little boy was intensely
frightened and hurried to DR..
Bushey's house and broke the
news. In an instant several
members of the Bushey family,
as well as neighbors, hurried to
the stable but the negro had es-
capped. Miss Gossard was re
moved to the house and medical
aid rendered. She was not serj
ously injured.
The news of the attempted
crime spread like wild fire anC
without delay officers were il
pursuit of the negro, but was moi
found until Monday morning
when he was arrested and placed
in the county Jail. He said he
would have surrendered himself
Sunday but he was afraid of be
ing lynched.

The several Courts Of Fulton
county convened on last Tuesday
morning and adjourned after a
short session on Wednesday
morning. Judge Swope, with
Associate Judges Kirk and Mel
son, on the bench. Considerable
current business was disposed of,
but the most important item Of
business was the argument of ex-
ceptions TO the report Of the Aud
itor in the estate of Mrs. Sarah
[. McKibbiu. This is the largest
estate ever in our Courts, and
has been pending for several
years. DR.. VIM. /. McKibbin
and George McKibbin, the exc
cutors, filed their first partial ac-
count in March, 1897, and in Feb
uary last, filed their final account.
Numerous exceptions were filed
to both accounts, and John p.
Sipes, Esq, was appointed Audi
tor to pass upon the exceptions
and make distribution among the
heirs. After sitting about TWEEN
ty days, and taking voluminous
testimony, the Auditor over-ruled
all the exceptions, but a few trif-
ling ones, and filed his report, tc
which exceptions We're filed, and
all Tuesday afternoon was con
sumed in arguing these excep
tions. Senator Alexander rep
resented the executors, and
George a. Smith, M. r. Shatfne1
J. Nelson Sipes, George b. Dan
iels and Frank Lafferty, Esq,
the other heirs. Judge Swope
took the papers in the case with
him and will review the case and
write out his opinion.

Bear on Timber Ridge.

Last Sunday night, T. e. and
G. M. Wink were passing along
the Timber Ridge road between
the Cross Roads school house and
Lake Garland's. 1t was about
ten o'clock and not very dark.
The boys were walking peaceably
along on their way from the Sal
vation Army camp meeting at
Antioch. Imagine their conster-
nation when a great black bear
walked right out in the road be-
fore them, and did not seem to be
in any hurry to get out of the
road, either. In order to encOur-
age the bear to give them the
right of way the boys drew re-
volvers and opened fire. The bear
after finching a few times, start
ed for the fence in a manner apol-
ogizing for being the cause of d
Sabbath evening disturbance,
scrambled across the fence and
disappeared. If the boys had not
had their guns along, there is no
telling what kind of a story we
might now be writing.

Corn Stolen.

Last Thursday morning when
A. j. Sipes, who lives on the
Shatfer farm on the pike out at
the foot of Scrub Ridge, went to
his corncrib, he noticed that
some one had been there during
TIE night and taken about three
barrels of corn. While he had
plenty eft, and his l)ss was not
great, yet he had some curiosity
as to where the corn had gone.
Whoever took it came down
across the mountain from the
west-possibly from Pittsburg.
The thief or thieveS-was in a
buggy and drove to point with
in two or three hundred yards of
the crib, where they found a
stony place at the side of the pike.
Here, they alighted, carried the
buggy around, hitched the horse
to telegraph poll went down
and got the corn, and carried it
up to the buggy. When Mr..
Sipes discovered this, he follow
ed the buggy tracks which, from
the dampness of the ground that
morning, he could easily do, and
found that the party had follow
ed the pike to Betz's when they
decided to go toward Hancock.
On they went to Sloan, when
they drove into the cree k. Mr..
Sipes examined the road careful
ly at the other side, but could not
find where they had gone out.
He then went back to see if they
had come out at the same side
from which they entered. Now
he was puzzled. Had the
drowned? Had the raging
stream carried them down to a
watety grave? But, no, the
peaceful stream, scarcely knee
deep to "a duck, caused all specu-
lations of that kind to vanish.
But, he argued, if they drove in,
and have not come out, they must
still be in; and as it is only q
woman that you go up stream tC
find when she falls in, he started
down and found that the party
had driven down to the pic mic
ground, about quarter of q
mile below and then had careful
ly gone out and continued their
journey southwark. If you want
any more of this story, see Jack
