Farm.
On his fine farm near Huntington,

ATRocioUS MURDER OF A SMALL

Jackson the convicted murderer OF
Fonnie Buck, six-year-eld boy, was
taken from the county Jail late in the
night by a mob and lynched
Shortly before midnight seventy Ave
masked men, all armed with rifles and
shotguns, forced their way through
the rear of the Jail and overpowered
Jailer Stephens, who was able to Of
fer but slight resistance. Jackson was
found cringing in the darkest portion
of his cell. He pleaded piteously for
mercy but was rushed into the street,
where the mob had already provided
themselves with a rope. This was
quickly thrown over an electric light
pole and the moose placed about Jack
sons neck. He was asked if he had
anything 10 say, but only pleaded for
mercy. The mob then pulled him into

The murder of little Fonnie Buck
was a peculiarly atrocious one. When
the boys body was found it was hor-

lynching was narrowly averted. His
trial quickly followed and a verdict

Lexington, s. c., Oct, 15.-The case

D. m. s
Colonel Croft, of counsel for the de
tense, resumed his argument when
court convened. He reviewed some of
the chief law points and made a fnal
summing up of the evidence. He was
followed by General Bellinger, who
made the closing argument for the
state.
Senator Tillman, uncle of the de-

General Bellinger closed at 12:45

tered upon his charge to the jury.
After defining murder and the differ
ent degrees of homicide the court
charged the jury that plea of self
defense having been set up the jury
must be satisfied by preponderance of
evidence that the defendant wcs with
out fault in bringing on the difficulty;
that he believed he was at the time

injury or losing his life and that a

angrily up and down the cage, flashing
its tail. So extreme was the beasts
anguish that the piccolo man speedily
gave place to the fiutist. The differ

GRAIN DEALER INDICTED.
Alleged Attempted Bribery of Mime
apoiis Alderman.

Minneapolis, Oct. 15.-George F.
Moulton, a grain dealer and a promi-
nent member of the chamber of COM
merce, was arraigned during the aft
ernoon on the charge Of offering a
bride of $500 to Alderman Fred M
Powers of the Eighth ward.
He was allowed week in which to
plead or demur to the indictment and
was released on $500 bail. --
The indictment is the outgrowth of
the campaign for the election Of city
engineer by the city council last Jan
uary. Mr.. Moulton was supporter
of E. H. Dutton, the assistant, and an
opponent of George w. Sublette, the
engineer.
The indictment alleges that on Jan.
2 Mr.. Moulton approached the alder
man from the Eighth ward and offered
him $500 to vote against Mr.. Sublette,
who was defeated.

THE KING COBRA.
II In Considcted the Most Dangerous
OF All the Snake Family.

It In Consfdeted the Most Dangerous
OF All the Snake Family.
Snakes. venomous snakes, may be di-
vided into two classes, the cobras and
the viperoids. The cobras, inhabitants
To the yiperoids belong all other ven
omous species, including our own splen-
did RATHER, the moccasin, the fer de
lance of the West Indies and the dead
~ bushmaster of Venezuela and the
Guianas.
Diametrioally opposite, though equal
" fatal, are the effects Of the cobra
and the viperoid poison. Dramatically
opposite, also, are the two methods Of
attack. The cobra at times is aggres-
sfve, the king cobra being said even to
pursue man. Silent, without the least
warning and from place where you
would least suspect, the round head
darts out of thicket, sharp pain
causes you to exclaim, and the frightful
fangs of the snake are buried in your
flesh. Like the grip of bulldog they
hold fast, while from five to ten feet Of
animated cable come stretching out Of
the thicket to coil leisurelg beneath the
dread head.
For this eternal hold on the victim
there is natural reason. The fangs Of
the ten foot cobra are but third of an
inch long. 1t is impossible, therefore,
to squirt the venom deep in single
stroke. In order to give the venom
time to absorb the snake must retain
its hold. The fatal poison contains
about 95 per cent of nerve destroying
and about per cent of blood destroy
| ing elements. Within five minutes the
pain leaves the wound, and even the
shock of the attack begins to wear off.
There is little suffering, nor will there
| be to the relentless end. Only if by
chance the bite is one from a small
snake or if a fresh supply of antitoxin
happens to be at hand is there chance
for your life. If one RECEIVERS from the
! immediate effects within week one is
as healthy as ever. While the poison of
! the cobra often kills within an hour,
there have been cases where the
strike of rattlesnake and a bush
master have caused death within ten
minutes. Naturalists accept, however,
that the king cobra, owing to its great
size and the consequent quantity and
| quality of poison emitted, is the most
dangerous of all the snakes. y Nc

fiuence of these figures, the attitude Of
Dumas and his worshipers, concentrate

ment of romance. Half Indifferent he
sat, as some handsome young woman
would stroke his head, while another
would place her hand on his shoulder,
as they might have done with an old
lion long tanned and without teeth.
There was nothing to distract the mind
from the harmony Of idea and person
ality-the company Of women might
have been part of the frescoes and
Dumas the creator Of Faust instead
Of Monte Christie" There was an en-
chanted element about the people and
the room.
The whole company conversed among
themselves, standing as if they were
at court, while the host sat still and
mused. I was held by the mystery,
the fascination of the romantic atmos-

mass that filed the fauteuil like an

over M Deer or Mr.. Antelope within
q mile on level or nearly level ground.
II will guarantee to take any first
class cow pony and run down any deer
that ever lived inside of two miles, pro-
vided the ground be level and the deer
has no more than twenty-five or thirty
yards start. I often have seen cow
boys run down and rope deer within
half q mile. This, of course, can only
be done when you are riding up the
wind and surprise bunch of deer or
antelope feeding or lying down in a
depression where they do not see or
scent you till you are almost on them.
Over a rough or hilly country your
horse wouldn't be in it with deer.
"The action of deer under full speed
reminds me of nothing so much as a
seashell sent ricochetting over the sur
face of smooth water. They don't gal
lop; they simply bound, and that is
where they lose speed over level
ground But have seen deer bound
straight up the side of mountain and
go fully as fast as if on the level, and
no living animal can catch them at the
uphill game.
Deer have tremendous vitality. I
have never seen one drop instantly
when shot. They will make jump or
two even when shot through the heart:
your true deer hunter will never
shoot deer running from him, as the
bullet will invariably spoil the hams
and hind quarters. Most of the west
ern deer hunters can turn deer when
he is running full speed from him with
shrill whistle. The deer almost al
ways will turn to see what that sound
means, only for fraction of second,
perhaps, but that is the hunters oppor-
tunity, and Mr.. Deer generally gets it
in the neck about that time. New
