TRAGEDY IN BARNWELL.
NEAR NElGHBORS SHOOT AND KILL EACH
OTHER ABOUT SOME LAND.
One IIsed Pistol and the Other Shotgun.
Both Prominent Citizens in the Com'
munity and Have Families.

FAREWELL, December 24.-At Kleins,
q station on the Southern nine miles from
our court house, an awful tragedy was
enacted last evening wher the lives OF
two of our best known men, Mr.. ). L..
Hogg and Mr.. Ben jenkins, were snuneo
out.
It seems that there had been bad blood
between the two men because OF suit IN
volving certain lands owned by the latter
and last evening at school entertain
ment at Kleins the two met, hot words
were passed, when the latter drew pistol
and shot the former four times, when IN
tnrn the latter was shot with shotgun
and instantly killed, whether by the
former or by others cannot now oe
learned. The former lived through the
night but died early this morning. The
details surrounding this tragedy cannot
be obtained at this time.
The coroner has left for the scene 10
hold inquest.
The family of the latter have retained
Hon. G. Duncan Bellinger, who has gone
to Kleins to be present at the inquest.
FAREWELL, December 25.-The report
current here yesterday that Mr.. j. T.
Hogg had died from the wounds received
in conflict with Mr.. jenkins the night De-
fore at Kleins is incorrect. Mr.. Hogg
still lives, although the physicians and
surgeons in attendance entertain no hope
of his recovery. DR.. Doughty, of Augusta
was wired for yesterday and last night
the wounded man was taken to Augusta
where it is most earnestly hoped he may
recover and be restored to his family his
friends, his county and his State.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
that the deceased, Mr.. jenkins, came &c
his death by gunshot wounds lnhlcteo al
the hands of Mr.. Hogg.
Mr.. Hogg made an ante-mortem sta1e
ment in which he said: owe went out
Ibit him first. He shot me three or four
times. got gun. I shot him twice
This statement puts at rest certain sus
nicions that Mr.. jenkins had been killed
by one other than Mr.. Hogg.
The actors in this tragedy, of ages 81
and SO, are prominent in this county ane
had the respect and confidence OF every
one who knew them.

GOVERNMENT SUFFERS HEAVY
LOSSES THROUGH LAND FRAUDS

Washington. July 2O.-During no
previous year in the history of gov
ernment allotment of public lands,
timber and mineral lands and home
stead grants have the sales aggregated
such large figure as during the last
fiscal year, according to the returns
soon to be published by the Depart
ment of the Interior, and which oc-
cupied the most prominent item of
government receipts in the fiscal re-
port issued recently by the Secretary
of the Treasury
Public land frauds have been dis
closed for many years. but recent
investigations conducted by Commits
sioner of Public Lands William A.
Richards have revealed a wholesale
disposal of government timber, miner
al, coal and other lands which was
not suspected when the investigation
began, after the dismissal of former
General Land Commissioner Binger
Hermann, who has since been elected
member of Congress. after a warm
contest, during which he was charged
with maladministration of the public
land office by his opponents.
AS result of the proof obtained of
fraudulent transfers of government
timber mineral and coal lands in Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Washington, Colorado,
New Mexico, Louisiana, Idaho, Kan
sas, Minnesota and other states, where
large tracts of public lands have been
disposed of during the last fiscal year,
special effort will be made by the
officials of the Department of the In
terror to have the timber and mineral
law repealed, owing to the incentive
to fraud under its provisions.

RADIUr1 is SAID
TO CURE CANCER

London, July 20.-The scientific sensa-
tion of the present is the announcement
that a tenth part of a grain of radium
in glass tube the size of toothpick.
when introduced into cancer, will kill
the cancer in four exposures of an
hour each. A similar infinitesimal
grain of radium will. 1t is declared, il
illuminate n room for century. and
an ounce of radium would drive all the
horsepower motors around the world.
The hunt for radium promises to be the
twentieth century equivalent for the
search for the philosophers stone.
Dr. Mackenzie Davidson. the noted
surgeon of Charing Cross hospital, an
nounced that he had successfully cured
a case of superficial cancer by means OF
radium. DR.. Davidson is treating two
other cases and promises success in
each one. DIR. Davidson said that ra-
dium proved successful and effective
with superficial cancer, but cannot say
1t will cure internal cancers, as he has
not experimental with them yet and
does not want to raise false hopes.
The case DR.. Davidson cured was
rodent cancer of the nose, after un-
successful treatment by x-rays. The
cancer was exposed to radium, four ex-
posures of an hour each. given at inter
walls of few days. In three weeks the
diseased part was healing satisfactory
ly, and in six weeks, with two more ex-
posures, the cancerous growth disap-
peared, not1eaving scar to remember
it by. Dr. Davidson said warningly:
I'VE have only treated superficial can
Ger with the wonderful radium What
it will do with internal cancer remains

TWO CONVICTED MURDERERS
LYNCHED AT BASIN, WYOMING

Denver. July 20.-A Republican spe-
sial from Basin. Wyoming, yesterday
says:
James German and J. p. Walters,
convicted murderers, were shot to
death in their cells in the Big Horn
county jail shortly after l O'Clock this
morning by a mob of thirty men.
Deputy County Clerk C. e. Price was
instantly killed and Deputy Sheriff
George S. Mead was wounded.
Mead and Price, who had been depu-
tized to guard the prisoners, were sit
ting in the sheriff's Office. Thinking
that the deputies had gone away. the
lynchers fred fusillade of shots
through the windows and battered
down the doors. Mead and Price fell
at the first fire. the bullet that wound
ed Mead passed through Prices heart,
killing him instantly. The mob was
unable to batter down the cell doors, so
they riddled German and Walters with
bullets.
One bullet of the first volley fired
grazed Mead's shoulder and entered
Prices heart. killing him instantly
Members of the mob then quickly pro-
cured the telephone pole and battered
the Jail doors down. They first came to

Evidence of frauds has accumulated
during the administration of Commits
sioner Richards and there has been a
general cleaning out of the depart
ment.
At least two United States senators
are reported to be involved in the dis
closures made, although the officials
of the general land office are reticent
regarding their Identities.
One of the recent indictments was
returned in Duluth against the firm OF
Swallow & Hopkins. in which a son-in
law of Senator Clapp of Minnesota is
alleged to have been involved.
An effort was made at the last ses-
sion of Congress to repeal the timber
and mineral act. but 1t failed. owing to
the opposition of coteries of members
on both sides of Congress, who osten-
sibly based their opposition On the
ground that it would deprive the gov
ernment of valuable sources of rev.
enue with which to promote irriga-
ton, as the proceeds from public land
sales are devoted to'that purpose.
Under the timber and mineral land
act of 1878 valuable lands bearing fine
timber and minerals are sold for $3.50
an acre and each applicant is permit
ted to buy l60 acres, with the right to
sell. Owing to the rapid rise of land
values in the West, and the develop
ment of timber and mineral lands. the
values of these government lands have
increased greatly, SO that spectators
and firms who have violated the law
by coloniZing lands and substituting
straw applicants have made profits
of from $50 to 5000 an acre.

TROOPS HURRYING
TO THERMOPOLIS

Denver, July 2O.-A News special
from Meeteetse, Wyoming. last night
says:
Ben Minnick, a sheep owner. was
brutally murdered last February by a
number of persons at a point between
Meeteetse and ThermOpolis, for alleged
transgression of the stock rules be-
tween the cattle and sheep men. 1t is
claimed upon good authority that the
slayers of Minnick are well known and
have been protected from arrest by
their prominence.
Yesterday Sheriff Fenton and Depu-
ty Sheriff A. l.. Stone, who have been
long investigating the case. concluded
that they had sufficient evidence
against several prominent cattle own
ers to warrant placing them under ar
rest. They went over TO Thermopolis
and secured the men, taking them to
hotel in the town.
Hearing of their arrest. a party of
cattlemen. friends of hose under ar

Last Hours of the Dying Pope.

though the condition of the Pope is
unchanged and coma continues, all
about the vatican is quiet except tn
apartments of the pontiff, 1t being
thought that catastrophe will not
occur during the night. A contribut-
ing element to the weakness of the
Pope has been his inability to take
nourishment. When an attempt is
made to administer restoratives, al
though they are placed in his mouth,
he does not swallow them. The vat
lean has asked prayers for the august
