Eject of Botha,s Refusal.

London, March 22-The Westmin
lister Gazette makes pessimistic COM
ment on General Botha's refusal to
accept the peace terms offered by Lord
Kitchener, and connects this refusal
with the situation in China. 1t says
the powers are at skies and sevens in
the far east and that any day may see
the commencement of a struggle from
which the Beers may recover their
own. The failure of these negotia-
tions means that the military position
in South Africa is not yet decisive.

Preacher Denounced Congressman Mar
tin in Funeral Sermon.

Rev. G. G. Miller, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church at Marion, Ind,
preached the funeral sermon of Con-
grassman A. N. Martin. Passing light
ly over the virtues of the dead man,
the minister held up to review his
vices and gave scathing review of
the dead congressman life. Among
other things Mr.. Miller said that he
had been born and reared in d chris
tian home, but left that home and its
teachings at the age of II and after
wards entered the army to serve his
country
1T would have been far better"
said Mr.. Miller, ''if Mr.. Martin could
have been shot on the field of battle
than to have lived to lead the life he
did. He was in public office the better
portion of his life and made in one
office 100000 but was sent home for
burial in cheap pine coffin, furnished
by the government.

gresham were sitting in the church,

MlNDER MUST HANG.
Supreme Court Says the Tailor
Must Pay Penalty on the
GallOWS.

The supreme court has sustained the
verdict of the superior court in the
case of I. Minder, the former Dawson
tailor who is under sentence OF death
for murder in Bib county, and unless
the case is appealed to the United
States court, as Minder's attorney says
he will do, he will have to pay the pen
altv of his crime on the gallOws.
Minder, when told of the action OF
the supreme court, acted in nonchal-
ant manner and quickly changed the
conversation and began talking about
his recent fast Of twenty-nlne days.
His attorney said The supreme
court has refused you new trial. -
Minder's appearance did not change,
and with weak and low voice said ::
'That's bad" His attorney then in
formed him that there was astlll high
er court known as the United states
court. and that he was going to carry
his case before it and he did not think
that they would hang him.
Minuer said Il hadn't thought OF
that court Immediately after utter
inc these words Minder began telling
his lawyer how long he had lived with
out eating, and spoke of his intention
to renew his fast again and to continue
to do without food until he broke the
fasting record.

A BRUTAL CRIME.
Negroes Request For Ride Was
Answered With Blows
and Lead.

One of the most brutal and uncalled
for crimes ever committed in Terrell
county occurred Saturday night, ae-
cording to the victims story, when
Turner Hill was numerically beaten
and fatally shot as the result of asking
for ride.
Turner, so he claims, was on his
way home, being several miles south
of Dawson, when be was overtaken by
a wagon load of negroes, whom he
ASKED to let him ride with them. This
request brought forth abuse from sew
eral of the occupants of the wagon and
Jordan James, it is claimed, who was
in buggy Immediately in the rear,
assaulted Hill with his buggy whip.
In the difficulty which followed sew
eral pistol shots were fred and knives
used. Hill was seriously wounded in
the melee. DR.. Lundy, who soon after
attended him, pronounced the injuries
fatal.
The case assumed rather pc
culiar phase on Monday morning,
when a warrant was sworn out for
Daniel Hill, a brother of the wounded
man, who James claims fired the fatal
shot, and also for Turner Hill for as
sault and battery. The wounded man s
condition would not permit his being
brought to town by the officers, how
ever.
The occupants of the wagon say that
Hill was the aggressor in the difficult
ty by forcing himself on the wagon
after he had been refused ride.
The difficulty occurred just at night
in the public road directly in front OF
MIR. H. T. Lynch's residence.
The grand jury will Doubtless investl'
gate the matter and several other ar
rests will probably by made.
