SECOND INFANTRY.

. In regard to ranges the report notes
the substantial repair of the Auburn
range, used by the Lewiston and Au
burn companies, the building of new
ranges at Gardiner and Houlton, and
the leasing of range privileges at Ban
gor. Speaking of the Augusta range
Col. Dill says:
Temporary repairs were made this
past summer on the Augusta range but
the bullet stop is not satisfactory and
cannot be made so without quite an
outlay of money. The range leaves
much to be desired for the encamp
ment practice and most heartily re-
new the oft-repeated plea of my dis
tinguished predecessor for a State
range"
Col. Dill makes quite extended men,
ton of the trip to Sea Girt, N. j., at the
time of the international matches, and
says: r ".
1.-The sending. of a team to Sea Girt
is strongly to be recommended and its
value lies not in the number Of prizes
1t may bring home but in the education
1t gives the men and the stimulus 1t is
to rifle shooting in the guard. 1t is too
much to expect that a Maine team will
defeat teams which have unlimited
means for target practice and a climate
which permits range work nearly all
the year, but each year that a team IS
sent to compete in the national matches
rifle shooting in Maine Is so much ad-
vanced."
In concluding his report Col. Dill
says: So
TT gives me especial pleasure to an
nounce that His Exeellency. the COM
mander-in-chief has seen fit to evince
his interest In rifle shooting by offering
valuable prizes to be competed for. in
each regiment, the details to be later
announced in orders.
"A stand Of twenty U. s. magazine
rifles, calibre 30. have been secured
for the use of the State team which will
be selected as early in the summer as
practicable. These rifles are fitted Will,

was so extensively used at Sea Girt last

Of the Killings.

Washington. Oct. 3o.-The President has
committed to life Imprisonment the death
sentence pronounced upon Sc.omon Hots-

Texas OF murder in the Indian Territory

He has been lawyer. judge, a Presby-

also shown that he was very charitable
and took an active part In all public

and well being Of members Of his tribe.

been exemplary. 1t appears that short

several children In rapid succession ana
believing in witches and witchcraft. he
conceived the idea that certain persons
whom he believed to be witches were
responsible. On the morning Of the muir.
der, being more or less under the influence
OF liquor, he started out with the ex-
pressed intention of killing certain per~
sons whom he declared to be witches.
Shot as Witch.
He first went to the house OF vina
Coleman, an Indian woman for whose
murder he now stands convicted. II app
pears that this woman was related 10
him, that he had always been on most
friendly terms with her. He accused her
of being a witch and shot her to death
with shot gun. at the same time wound
ing a small child. At the same time he
shot and badly wounded Is year old
boy.
He thereupon mounted his horse ana
proceeded to the home of man whora
he accused Of being a witch. and shot him
to death. He then proceeded to another
house and killed another woman whom
he accused of being a witch He was
tried for the killing Of the last two per-
sons and acquitted on the GROUNDS Of in-
sanity.
II have made a very careful examina-
ton of all the testimony in this case and
may say that absolutely no rational
motive is shown OF the killing of these
people by the petitioner. 1t seems to be
clearly established that the petitioner
killed them because of his deluded belief
that they were witches.
II am clearly of the opinion that the
sentence of death should not be carried
out In this case"
