TRAIN ROBBERS FATE.
RESISTED ARREST AND WAS
KILLED By TWO POLICE OF
FICERs AT SAN ANTONIO.

San Antonio, Tex, April ls-An
unknown man was shot and killed By
Officer Pink Taylor, and has been
clearly identified as Camilla Hanks,
alias o. @. Hanks, alias Charley Jones,
alias Deaf Charley, one of the most
desperate outlaws and train robbers in
the country. The Identification was
by former sheriff of Dewitt county,
where Hanks was born, and from
where he was refugee under charge
Of assault. The body has also been
identified by picture sent out by a
detective agency, and by marks and
scars on the body. When the man ap-
peared at the resort where he was kill
ed here, his actions were suspicious,
and telephone message was sent to
police headquarters. Officer Taylor
and two 9th ers hastened to the place,
and as soon as they appeared the man
opened fire on them. He was seized
by two Of them, and in the struggle
that followed he was shot three times
by Officer Taylor, and he died without
speaking.

POPE LEO'S SUCCESSOR.
Either vannuteIli or Gotti Likely
to be Chosen. 2
falconios Selection as Successor to Mar.
tlnelIto be Officially Announced in Oct.

Rome, April 1s-The recent signs
Of the increased feebleness of the pope,
which led, at the end Of last week, to
alarming reports Of his sudden death,
have caused . marked reorudescence Of
activity among the cardinals aspiring
to the ponti6cate. The campaign pre-.
paratory to the next conclave proceeds
incessantly, the sacred college being
divided into two distinct forces, head
ed respectively by Cardinal Rampolla,
the papal secretary of state. and Car.
dinal vannutelli. The latter and Gar
dinal Gotti now constitute the most
probable successors to Leo XIII.
Those who are now considered to be
dangerous candidates are fond, how
ever, Of pointing out that almost $50
cardinals have been buried during the
pontificate Of Leo XIII, and that the
prolongation of the life Of his holiness
for a few years is liable to cool,
through death, many more ambitious
cardinals.
Archbishop Falconio. the papal del
egate in Canada, has been definitely
selected to succeed Cardinal Martin
ELI, the papal DELICATE to the United
States. This appointment will not be
officially announced, however, until
the meeting Of the consistory next
October. 1t was felt that Archbishop
Falconio's experience in Canada, his
his command Of the English
language and his diplomatic abilities
especially fitted him for the Washing
ton post.
Traffic in tickets to the ceremonies
at st. Peters and the sistine chapel
held in honor OF the twenty-fourth
Of the pope's coronation
has assumed such proportions that 1t
has developed into veritable scandal.
Americans and English people are
the principal victims Of this traffic,
and the bsrtering in tickets, Of which
from 80, 900 to 80, 00e are often issued
Tor the ceremonies at st. Peters, is
carried on at all the principal hotels
here by groups of spectators who are
Ia league with the hotel employees.
Mr.. Bisleti is indignant at this scan
hal, and has spread broadcast notice
that all tickets to pontiacal ceremonies
are Absolutely gratuitous.

OVER CROSSFEhCE
TWO MEN LOST THEIR LIVES
NEAR DE WITT, ARK.


Little Rock, Ark, April 1S-A
special to the Gazette from Dewitt
says; A tragedy occurred six miles
east Of here yesterday in which two
men, Henry Hill and B. f. Dillon,
lost their lives, ard Mrs, B. r. Dill
Ion was perhaps fatally wounded.
Henry Hill and his brother-in-law, b.

farms and had trouble about cross
fence between their places. Yester-
day afternoon Hill took his Winches-
ter rifle and going over to Dillon's
called the latter out on the front porch
and shot him down, killing him.
Mrs. Dillon, who is Hills sister, ran
out of the house to her husband, when
Hill shot her through the body. Wal
ter Dillon, son of the slain man, and
nephew of Hill, ran up Just as Hill
shot his mother. He shot Hill twice
with q Winchester killing him in

PEACE is IN SIGHT.
British and Beers Said to Have
Agreed on Terms.
The Beers Accepted the Refusal to Grant
an Armlstlce.

London, April 1s-Despite the diff.
culties previously referred to, the
Daily Mail is able to announce that
it has obtained reliable information
that the bases Of peace have been prac.
tically agreed on at Pretoria between
his msjesty's government and the Boer
delegates. Some time must elapse
before the details are fully perfected,
but the main facts appear to be estab-
lished. The first real negotiations
commenced on Monday, with Lord
Miner, at Pretoria. The first step
Of the Beers was to make an urge Mt
request for an armistice-this being
the second appeal Of the kind-the
armistice to last during the progress Of
the negotiations. Precedsnts were
adduced, notably what happened in
the Franco German war.
The cabinet on Tuesday met this de-
mand with q pointblank refusal. Such
was the uncertainty prevailing in
official circles as to how the Boer dele
gates would take it that there was q
distinct feeling of pessimism. The
Boer delegates, however, accepted the
refusal.
The Boer delegates met again on
Thursday at Pretoria, when the deci-
sion of the cabinet was laid before
them, practically placing them in the
position Of agreeing to peace on the
British terms or rejecting them and
terminating the conference.
In the interval, however, their
general disposition had undergone
change.
They displayed, according to the
Daily Mail, . more reasonable atti-
tude. Lord Miner was empowered
to grant them one or two seats on the
executive council, subject to the APP
proval of his majesty's government,
pending restoration of Responsible
government.
AS 9 result of this conference the
Beers practically agreed to accept the
British terms. AS an instance of how
matters are progressing, Lord Miner
has summoned to Pretoria from Jo-
an Australian expert to
afford him assistance in estimating the
cost of rebuilding and restocking the
Boer farms, for which q money grant
will be made to the Beers.
Up to the present the Boer delegates
at Pretoria have acted quite independ-

EPIDEMIC AMONG HOGS
Aay County Farmers Suffering Ser
iousiy From the sseourge

Blackwell, o. r. Dec. ga fatality
has broken out among the hogs in this
county. and as a result a large number
of hogs have died within the past few
days. Frank Davis was in the city to-
day and reported that j. ". Woods and
Walter Franks, two farmers living south
of Braman. had lost all of their hogs
within the past few days, and that far
mers living in that vicinity We're also los
ing their hogs in the same way, the dis
case. epidemic or whatever it is being
quick in its action, death resulting in a
few hours.
Ola Goodson. living south Of town, has
lost a large number of his hogs during
the past day or two. Mr. Goodson says
he attributes the death of his hogs to
the fact that he had a steer die and he
cut up the steer and fed it to his hogs,
and thinks the meat was poison to the
hogs. y peculiar feature about Mr..
Goodson's loss is that all the hogs he
lost We're sows.
In each case. however. the hogs seem
20 choke 10 death and as the hogs that
have been dying in the vicinity of Bra
man are afflicted like those that Mr..
Goodson lost on his farm south OF this
city. il looks very much like fatal epi-
demic has broken out among the hogs
