the farm OF Mr.. w. E. Brim in Lee
county, near Sasser, was shot last
Wednesday afternoon by Mr.. B. w.
Moreland and died the next after
noon.
The details of the killing are mea-
ger, but from what information The
News can gather it appears that the
negro had some words with Mr.. More
land, who is overseeing for Mr..
Brim, AMI was advancing with an
open razor, when Mr.. Moreland shot
him with b pistol. The ball entered
Mallory's stomach and passed entirely
through his body. Drs. Crawford &
Crawford of Sasser attended the
wounded man, and upon examination
saw that there was but little chance
for him to recover.
Coroner Ross of Lee county held an
inquest oyer the body of Malloy
Thursday, and the jury rendered a
verdict generating Mr.. Moreland.
MIR. Moreland is a citizen of Terrell
county, and is young man of quiet
disposition and is esteemed by all who

necessity for the tragedy was forced
upon him.

Newton, Noted HumOris,, Comma.

IL Is with pleasure WI aunuuncp the
coming here Monday evening of the
brilliant humorist and entertainer.
Cyrus Brownlee Newton. His man.
ager, G. n. Thomas, visited our town
Monday and though hehad To be as-
surea u ! a guarantee of 500 to bring
Mr.. Newton here, In n very short
time he received sufficient encourage.
ment from our representative cIti-
zens who agreed to take reserved
seats In sufficient numbers to make
up the amount.
During the past month Mr.. New.
ton has appeared in quite a few
larger places In Montana. Every
where the press has spoken of him in
glowing terms and gathering notices.
The Great Falls Tribune spoke Of his
appearance in that city In a decided
ly complimentary manner. Prof.
Dorce of Chinook writes that New
lOu PiNStuNtu Nht uilNsN tHltTIulu-
mint ever given in that town.
Cyrus Brownlee Newton ranks AS
one Of the finest humorous entertain
ers in the United States. In the CEN
trail, southern and western states he
has appeared In most of the larger
cities. As an entertainer he Is
unique, fresh, original and keeps an
audience In a continual roar Of
laughter. Two weeks ago we quot
ed extensively from an article Mr..
Newton wrote about his recent trip
to the Hawaiian Islands. New Yea
land and Australia. While on this
tour he appeared in d majority of
the larger cities OF Australia. The
following report appeared in the
Wellington Daily News Of New Yea
land.
"Mr. Cyrus Brownlee Newton, the
noted American humorist and enter
talner, made his first appearance
last evening in Australia at the
opera house. To say that he COM
pletely captivated his audience Is
putting it mildly. He possesses that
peculiar something which il in
born in the real entertainer. There
Is an eas about his manner, grace
ful and refined, that unconsciously
you IRE drawn to the man. The au-
dience laughed and laughed till their
sides ached. There was such versa
tility, so it Is difficult to say in
which number he excelled. His last
number as Aunt Stutnicker was n
master production for its quaint hui
NOR, facial expression, and yet
withal was done so easily, which
showed his real genius"
He will appear at Culver's opera
house Monday evening next. Re-
served seats - cents at the postof-
flee drug store, sale beginning Sat
urday. Those who pledged seats In
advance can secure them on Friday.
