THE BODY MUTILATED
MAN MURDERED AND PLACED
 ON RAILROAD TRACK.
King Farmer's Remains Found in Northern Part of Anniston--A Deep Mystery Surrounds
 the Killing.

Anniston, Jane 1.-(Special. liking Farmer, a young white man about 21 years of age. was found dead early this morning on. the tracks of the Southern Railroad near Twenty-fifth Street. in the northern part of the city.
 Farmer lived oevsral miles north of Anniston and ran a small farm in Al- exandria Valley. When found, the body was bruised in several places and nearly ali of the clothing had been torn from 1t. Shot gun wounds were found in the neck and breast, pointing to murder. A great deal of mystery surrounds the case and the officers are hard at work searching for a clue.
 Immediately after the dead and mu- tilated body was found by a clerk in one of the stores here. who was on his way to his place of business, Coroner W. M. Franks empannelled a jury, which returned a verdict to the effect that Farmer came to his death by be- ing shot with a shot gun in the hands of an unknown person, and that after the murder the body was placed on the railroad track and run over by q freight train.
 The crime was a most dastardly one. The murderer, 1t seems, sought to cover up evidences of the crime by placing the body across the tracks, thinking that the train would mutllate the body beyond recognition.
 Farmer was well known in Calhoun County. His father. William Farmer. died about two years ago. His uncle. MT. Ed Farmer, lives In this s~e..S.i.
 How, when or the exact circumstances as to the terrible deed are eurtained in a deep mystery. The body cfft the dead young man now lies at an undertaking establishment and will probably be huriad tnuI0rr0w

 Vote of T to :.

Tuscaloosa. June 1.-(Speciai.)-The famous land sale of the University wal settled at the Trustees meeting this afternoon.
 The report of,the Committee to which was referred the Smith-Aldrich com promise at the morning session, was received at 4 o'clock and was consid- cred in executive session. The terms of the compromise were practically the adoption of the Smith-Aldrich agree ment and the payment to the Univer- sity by the sloss- -Sheffield Company $5.ooO and an additional $3.500 for sur face rights of about 1000 acres of land which it is said the University does not especially need in the leasing of other lands. The Committee was al work for some time on the matter tut the report WAS finally adopted by a vote of z to 5. It Is said Governor Sanford voted with the minority. The Smith -Aldrich compromise as reported to the Trustees meeting Thursday was as follows:
 Tirst-The sloss- Sheflield people quit claim to the University all lands involved.
 Second-Deed to the University II forties north of Little Warrior River.

 sixth-Sloss Sheffield Company pay all court costs. not including Universi- ty attorneys fees.

This plan bodies ur the land of the University. but the lands received in exchange are at pres ent less accessible than those sold.
 The full details of the compromise have not yet been given out.
