FICERS VOLUNTARILY GIVES
HIMSELF UP
CONFESSION OF THE CRIME
Victims Were Shot While Sleeping,
Mattress Piled on Their
Bodies and the House
Set Attire.

OXFORD, Miss, Nov. 20.-Will Mathis,
who is charged with the murder Of two
deputy marshals, Montgomery by name,
tonight walked into the little town of
Dallas, twelve miles south of here, and
surrendered to justice Of the peace and
two citizens. Mathis had been pursued by
bloodhounds, and realizing that his cap
ture was certain the fugitive voluntarily
gave himself up and asked for protection.
He was turned over to the posse and
started for Oxford, but it is understo TODD
at a late hour tonight that he will not
be brought to this city. The officers fear
mob violence.
When the news reached Oford the
streets were Immediately filled with peo-
pie, and intense excitement existed for a
time. BonfireS were built, and many
threats of summary vengeance against
the alleged murderer were heard on all
sides. Addresses were made by the local
officers and cool-headed business men,
and it is believed the threatened lynclIlng
has been averted The local officers an
nounce they will protect the prisoner at
all hazards.
The negro, Orlando Laster, placed I'M
der arrest Sunday, has confessed the de-
tails Of the crime. He says that Mathis
induced the officers to spend the night
at his house, and shot them after they
had gone to bed, the negro holding the
lamp. Mrs. Mathis has confessed to being
in the house when her husband did the
killing. Mathis robbed the bodies OF
watches, money and pistols, pulled them
onto the floor, placed a straw mattress
over them and set it on fire. Mrs. Mathis
and the negro both admit that Bill Jack
son, who left before the shooting occur
red, tried to prevail on Mathis not to
commit the crime.

of buttermaking. This fat, as We find it
in the milk when it is just drawn fresh
from the udder of the cow, is real soluble,
but after the milk has stood for few
hours, and having become cool, we find
that the fat globules at once solidify.
Hence it necessarily follows that these
fat globules, that are contained in the
milk as it is delivered at the creameries,
are quite solid providing the milk has
been properly cooled before having been
brought to the creamery. Therefore IN
order to obtain perfect separation Of
the fat from the milk, it must be heated
to certain degree in order to render
the fat more soluble and easily separated

LONDON, Nov. 2o.-Sir Pattesor Nick

Kent Several hundred Tories occupied
the gallery for the express purpose of ere

At this point the Interruptions We're re-

tured f1fty-four, including two field cor
nets. The column also captured much
stock and munitions of war.
The Daily News tries to show that the
governments monthly returns, which
purport to give an accurate record of the
deaths in the South African camps. are
untrustworthy. An examination of the

disclosure that the deaths not accounted
for in three monthly returns, which it
