Domestic Tragedy.

a sensational homicide occurred at
Simpsons Cross Roads, in Laurens
county, on July 9th, which has thrown
the entire county in a state of wild
excitement.
John G.. Wham, in his own yard,
shot and killed his neigbbor, L. W.
Rsmage. The accounts of the trag-
eday which led up to the killing are
conflicting, but it seems that few
days previons to the homicide the
wife of Wham and a lady visitor
went to Clinton to spend the day
and night. During their absence
Wham addressed a note TO Miss
Simpson, 8 maiden of about 16 years,
and a daughter of Thomas Simpson, a
Confederate veteran, asking her to
come over and spend the night at
his home. The note was signed by
the name of the lady visitor. It fell
into the hands Of Mrs. Simpson,
whose suspicious became aroused.
A family consultation was held and
was decided to ask Wham for an ex-
PLANTATION. He said he found the
note on the table and sent it over,
at the sametime making some insult
ing remarks against the character of
Miss Simpson. The father of the
girl declared that nothing but the
blood of Wham would satisfy him.
At the request OF Mrs. Wham, Mr..
Ramage consented to act as peace
maker, and went to Wham's house
for the purpose of amicably adjust
ing the difficulty. A friendly con-
versation ensued. When Wham
started to 60 into his house, Ramage
called to him to stop which was un-
needed and he continued bis way
and entered his house. Ramage
walked around the house when
Wham fred upon him killing him.
An effort was made by the friends
of Ramage to lynch Wbam, but the
presence of mind of his wife frus-
trated the attempt and he made his
escape. Bloodhounds were sent for
and put upon his trail, but failed to
trail. Wham went to Spartsnburg
county and several days after the
killing, surrendered to the sheriff of
that cohnty.
Laurens, July 15.-John G Wham
was granted bail in the sum of 81, 900
by Judge Dantzler this evening at
7:S0 o'clock. Wbam killed Lafayette

o STAMP MILLS.
Grease Must Not Come in
Contact With Ore.

Often perfect gems Of suggestions
are found in the mining journals
which do not reach all persons who
should see and profit by them. One
il given below which has been clipped
from the Mining and Scientific Press,
Of San Francisco. 1t should be
pasted in the hat of every man en-
ployed in a quartz mill. The article
Is entitled "Grease Around a Stamp
Mill"
An authority on stamp mills says
that one Of the most important things
to be considered about a stamp mill,
and one that ordinarily receives but
little attention, is that of grease.
Guard against its excessive use day
and night, month and year. Keep
all the bearings and machinery where
it is used perfectly clean; do not
grudge the use of clean waste but
see that the employees observe the
maximum Of cleanliness.
Bits Of candles do not harm, or
very little, II made of stearic acid,
but beware Of tallow dips. Start
in at the rock breaker, and place
dripping pans underneath the journ-
ais, making frequent examinations
to see that all the drops are caught.
See that none Of the oil used on
the running gear Of the self feeders
drops on the feeder floor, being very
careful about working the leakage of
ore always found Underneath the feed
era, II there il the slightest possibility
Of II being fouled.
Clean the stems Of the stamps, the

Jams and the tappets very frequently,
and do not Use liquid oil on them,
but make a swab Of cloth and apply
a minimum Of axle grease to the cams
several times a day, to the stems only
as needed. When applied to the stems
only touch them above the guides.
1t is generally better to tack some
canvass between the cam shaft floor
and the top Of the lower guides,
giving to 1t a decided belly to pre-
vent any grease thrown from the cams
from falling into the feeder or throat
of mortar, Oh on the plates. Use
every possible means to keep grease
from coming in contact with the ore
while 1t Is being treated.

WILL RAISE HAY
ON HILL SIDES.
w. R. Hawley Buying Thous.
ands Of Acres Of Logged
Off" Land.

W. II. Hawley attracted some at
tcntion from Interested ones last
week ut the delinquent tax sale In
Baker City, by bidding In numerous
tracts Of land. Those who had put
In many hours going owe the list To
select desirable pieces of property
which they wished tn secure, didn't
interfere with Mr.. Hawlcy's bids. II
finally became noiscd around that he
was buying lands from which the
timber had been logged and abandoned
as worthless.
A MINER man enquired of the
gentleman, himself, regarding the
matter after the sale had closed.
lie stated that the timber had been
removed from the land, all right but
he certainly didn't regard II as
worthless, or he wouldn't buy 1t.
lie says IL will raise hay, which Is
worth much gold in these parts, and
he considers IL quite A. valuable as
either mineral or timber lands.
The general impression here
abouts has been that hay can he grown
only on the low, damp lands, MI.
Hawley has been experimenting for
several years and has convinced him
self that II will also grow, without
irrigation, on the uplands; not, Of
course, at a very high elevation.
The lands he bought are along the
first bench above the valley between

here and McEwen.
At his home in this city on the
hillside beyond the schoolhouse,
alfalfa grows luxuriantly. Last sea-
son IL was cut four times.
Mr.. Hawley had already bought
from the owners 1000 acres of this
land, and he bid In at the tax sale
2iOO acres more, in the same vicin-
ity. Some Of this he will cur
through tax tile. The remainder he
has arranged to buy.
Last fall he seeded ten acres, rs an
experiment, and II II proves to be u
success, his fortune will be largely
augmented. II will also add humid
reds of thousands Of dollars annually
to the wealth of this community, for
there Is perhaps more money sent out
out Of this country for the purchase
of hay than any other one commodity.
II II can be raised here ut home on
these logged off timber lands, Il new
industry will be quickly developed
aud thousands of heretofore consid-
cred worthless lands will be made
valuable and profitable.
The problem he Is now solving by
actul experiment is whether seed
should be sow in the fall or spring.

Son Of Chicago Pork Packer Meets
Death on Polo Field.
Nathan Swift, son Of Louis F. Swift
the packer, died Sunday from the eff
fects of blow on the temple with a
polo ball at Onwentsia field during q
game.
The accident at first was thought to
be trifling. Mr.. Swift was playing in
contest in which his companions
were Frederick Mclaughlin, w. W.
Rathbone, AL. Farwell, Sidney Love,
Walter Keith, r. r. Mccormick and
Charles Garfield King.
The ball which struck Mr.. Swift
was one that went in the air and from
the mallet of Mr.. Love. Mr.. Swift
did not appreciate his danger until too
late. the glare Of the sun preventing
him from following the ball in its
flight. When the ball hit him he did
not fall from his saddle, and when his
companions galloped to his side he
was at first inclined to make light Of
the injury. He was induced to dis
mount, but walked without aid from
the field. Arriving home, he com
planned of dizziness, and later went
into delirium, which was followed
by his death.

Lately, however, the regicides are be-
