 Heavy Rains.
 ATLANTA, Ga, March 17.-Heavy rains in northern and middle Georgia have caused the Atlanta weather bu- reau to send flood warnings to Eufaula, Ala, and West Point and Columbus, Ga. predicting a rapid rise in the Chat tahoochee river. North Alabama was deluged, as were portions of south Georgia and northern Florida. Streams in these sections are out of their banks. At Albany, Ga, the Flint river, which rose at the rate of a foot an hour dur ing the night, has not yet reached the maximum height expected. The rain fall there ill the past three days has been nearly twelve inches. Many sew CTS burst, and houses in the low lying portion of town were surrounded by water for several hours. The river is still rising, and all creeks north of there are out of their banks. The tracks of the Central of Georgia and Plant systems between Albany and Thomas vile are under water in several places.
 The Chattahoochee river at Colum- bus has risen seven feet and is still on the upward move. The Southern rail- way has WaShout near Milena, Ga., on one of it's small branches. The washout near Everett City has not yet been repaired and has prevented the departure of J. Pierpont Morgan and party, who were to have left Bruns- wick for Cincinnati by way of Atlanta.
 Traffic on the Central of Georgia was delayed several hours by washout near Union Springs, Ala.
 Some damage was done to the town of Cordele, Ga, by the heavy rains, and a washout is reported near there. A special to The Constitution from Brunswick, Ga, says:
 '"The surrounding country is flooded as result of the recent rains. Rain has been coming down in torrents here for hours, and there is no indication of cessation. Not train is moving over the Brunswick and Birmingham railroad. Through Buffalo swamp wa ter is over the tracks for nearly mile, and passengers are unable to get to Brunswick. The Plant system track is intact"

LONDON, March 1.-The war office has received the following communica- tion from Lord Kitchener at Pretoria concerning the recent British reverse:
 Lord Methuen has sent me a staff officer with a dictated dispatch, from which it appears that certain particu- lars previously given are inaccurate. The rear screen of mounted troops was rushed and overwhelmed at dawn. There was a gap of a mile between the OK and the S1ule conveys. The mounted supports to the rear of the screen, with General Methuen immediately re-en- forced by all the available mounted troops and a section of the Thirty eighth battery, maintained themselves for an hour, during which the conveys were closing up without disorder.
 ''In the meanwhile 200 infantry were being disposed by Lord Methuen to re- sist the Boer attack, which was out

Adopted Son Of e. 8. Murphy Believed
To Have Led Attack On Camp In
Dead Of Night-Dead Mans Body
Found In Wagon With Hole
Through Head.

A special to the Cheyenne Leader
from Casper gives additional details Of
the killing Of Mr.. Kassahn not far from
that place, mention of which was made
III these columns yesterday.
Miss Kassahn, who lives in this city
with Mr.. and Mrs. N. c. Peterson, call
ed at The Republican Office yesterday
afternoon to learn what she could OF
the death of her brother. She said he
left here about six months ago, and
about a month ago she had a letter
from him, telling her that he would
come home o She was preparing
brother asked her not to go until he
came. as he wanted to see her and
feared he would not again. have the op-
poItunity. The poor girl was almost
heart broken at the news of her
brothers death and could not keep back
the sobs as she told Of her brothers
letter to her. She expected another
letter this week telling her when she
might look for him. Miss Kassahn was
anxious to have her brothers body
brought to Laramie, but the sheriff at
Casper informed her that it would be
impossible as it was SO badly decom-
posed that it could not be moved at
this time.
The special to the Leader follows:
The assassination occurred at ole of
the sheep camps Of E. s. Murphy, the
wealthy sheep man, eighty miles north
OF Casper. on Buffalo creek. Saturday
morning an adopted son of Murphy's
became involved in a quarrel with Kas-
sahn and Ferris over wages, as the re-
suit Of which the two sheep herders
drove the son away from the wagon.
They we're on horseback and followed
up the young man using their quirts
to strike him with.
At that time the lad remarked that
he would come back with his 5000
Winchester after the herders, and this
threat will be strong evidence against
the youth.
At 10 o'clock that night two herders
were awakened by the sound of firing
and bullets began to tear their way
through the wagon. Kassahn was shot
through the head and almost instantly
killed. Ferris was shot through the
right arm. the bullet going upwards
through the shoulder blade.
Ferris, who is a las Of but IS years
Of age, managed to escape from the
wagon in the darkness and sought ref
uge in the high sage brush.
As he was running away from the
wagon he recognized the voice Of his
employer. Murphy, who caught sight of
the escaping herder, and said: There
he is. Shoot him. Shoot him."
Ferris ran for some distance through
the sage brush with his would-be as
sassins after him. but managed to elude
capture. He grew weaker and was
finally forced to crawl on his hands
and kness. After several hours he
reached another sheep camp and told
his story. A party of men went back
to the wagon where Kassahn's body
Was found lying against the bed with
his head between his knees and one
hand lying on the bed He was doubt
less in the act Of getting out Of bed
when struck The holes In the wagon
showed that seventeen bullets in a
had passed through.
