Killing of Mr.. II NJ. Tam.

Word was brought to Scooba Monday
evening Of the fatal shooting. at DeKalb
that day, OF T. VI. Tam, Esq, one Of the
most prominent citizens Of the county,
by Mr.. irwin Henderson, a prominent
planter living on Blackwater Greek.
The tragedy ie the outcome Of the peon-
age trouble in the western part OF the
county.
From the information at hand it ap-
pears thai after the preliminary exam :
nation OF Mr.. Henry Shots, charged
with shooting into the house OF Il Of
the Lsggette boys. Mr.. Tam made some
statements rejecting on the veracity of
the Leggettes and Others, among them
Irwin Henderson. The matter was dis
cussed by Tam and Henderson Mon
day, in the drug store of DIR. T. ID. S .en~
ME, bot words ensued, the lie was
passed, and the shooting followed. All
evidence goes TO show that Henderson
acted strictly on the defensive.
The shooting occurred between the
drug store and an adjoining office build
ing, to which spot Tam had led Hen
derson on the plea that he wanted &c
talk to him. Tana was endeavoring to
draw his pistol, which had caught in
the lining of his coat pocket, when 6
bullet from HendeIson's revolver found
its way to his heart. He died almost
instantly.
The terrible affair IS to be greatly de.
plored, but Is only another instance Of
the terrible extremes to which mems
passions will lead them.

Newspaper Rulings.
SOME INTERESTING DECISIONS AY UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT AZ TIC THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

l. If subscribers order the discon-
t~inuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the p~ostofice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper tor other
periodically discontinued.
3. If subscribers move to other
faces without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
p~ostoffice, or removing and having
them ~uncalled for, is prima facic evi.
dence of intentional fraud.
5. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
6 The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law,
the mar who allows his subscription to
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.

Both boys were skating when
young Ressler fell through the

the center of the pond. His cries
for help attracted Winship, who
went to his aid and had almost
succeeded in rescuing his drown

in. He was fatigued by his ex-
ertions in behalf OF his compan.
ion and sank almost Immediately
to the bottom Of the pool. Ress-

RESIGNS
PASTORATE.
Rev. j. F. Mcleod Accepts.
Call to Church at Tue
son, Arizona.
RESIGNATION TO TAKE EFFECT
DECEMBER IS.
Sorrow Among Presbyterians
Over Mr.. and Mrs. McLeOd's
Leaving.

Rev. j. r. Mcleod, the popu-
lar pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church yesterday sur.
prised his people by reading his
resignation as pastor Of the
church at the close of the morn
ing service. Mr.. Mcleod has
been in Bemidji for two years
and during the time has endeared
himself, as has Mrs. Mcleod, to
the whole people, and his resig-
nation is deeply regretted by
Pres byterians and by the people
of the city generally.
During the time that he has
been here Mr.. Mcleod has had
several offers from the west and
about a year ago he seriously
considered a call from Oakland,
California. But at that time he
decided that it was better for
the church work here that he &C
cept the urgent appealed the peo-
pie to stay at least another year.
Both his own health and that Of
Mrs. Mcleod and of his son have
demanded, however, a change to
a warmer climate.
The call to Tucson came as a
surprise to Mr.. Mcleod Thanks
giving Day. Tucson is a city Of
$4,000 people, about 100 miles
from Phoenix, the capitol of Ari-
zona' and 500 miles from Los An ]
geles- The Southern Pacific
Railway shops, employing 900
men, with an annual pay roll of
$1,OO0,00O are located there.
Tucson is the seat of the state
university and the Presbyterian
Mission school for Indians with
$50 students is located there.
The church to which Mr.. Nc
Leod is called has $50 members
and is just preparing to erect a
new churchedif at the cost Of
$18, 900. The terms of the call
give Mcleod two months vaca-
ton each summer during the
heated term.
Mr.. Mcleod S resignation is to
take effect December 18 and he
will begin his work in Tucson
the first Sunday Of the new year.
A church meeting to act On the
resignation is called for Tuesday
night at eight O'Clock.

Mysterious Company Buys
Thousands Of Acres Of
Land Near Blackjack.
MUCH SPECULATION AS TO.
IDENTIFY OF COMPANY.
Some Think That DOWie Colony
Will Be Started While
Others Aver Not.

q 4 ~
The actions Of mysterious
company of investors who have.
been operating near Blackd luck
for some time past have caused
considerable speculation as to
what the purpose of the company
is among people from that city
and in fact throu ghout nearly the
entire northern portion of the.
county. Last week a deal was.
closed and the money paid in for
the purchase Of 1000 acres Of
land in Blackjack township, the
consideration being $40, 900, but
the names of the buyers could.
not be found out and it seems
that it will take a month yet be-
fore the Identity of the mysteri-.
Gus company will be revealed
The sellers are a company Of
gentlemen, one of whom resides
in Bemidji, but when approached
regarding the subject yesterday
he said that he was not at lib
erty at the present time TO give
out the names of the purchasers.
1t is confidently stated by
some that JADE Hines, the Black
duck DoWeite, is atthe bottom of
the deal and is buying the land
for the purpose Of starting a sec.
ond Zion city, but others claim
that this theory is not true but
that Booker I. Washington in
tends to locate a colony Of neg
roes upon the land
The land purchased is near
to Hines Spur, where Mr.. Hines
lives, and talk Of a city and sew
eral other large enterprises is
rife among the citizens who live
in that vicinity
Already a number of buildings.
are being erected upon the land.
which has been purchased and it
would not be surprising in the
least if a city on the order Of the
Zion city would spring up.

Deputy Coroner Marcum Re-
turns From Inspection of
Dryhaug,s Body:
MRS. DRYHAUG STILL THINKS
HUSBAND WAS MURDERED.
Protests That Suspicious. Circum.
stances Of the Letter and
Money Point to Murder.

Deputy Coroner Marcum re-
turned this morning from Shot
ley, where he went to view the
Body of Jacob Dryhaug, the
Shotley postmaster who was
drowned while returning home
on the evening of October % af-
ter having spent the evening with
friends'at the townsite Of Shotley
which is situated about two
miles from where the posto flee
is located.
Mr.. Marcum made a minute
examination of the remains but
found nothing that pointed to
foul play and he expressed the
opinion today that the stories
circulated to the effect that Dry,
haug was murdered were not
we'll founded as not the least
signs of violence were found up
on the body. The body has lain
in the water for over a month
and as a result was in a bad
state of decomposition when
found about mile from his
home on Red Lake. His pockets
when found contained $4.65 in
silver, $50 in checks and 5000 in
notes and due bills, besides his
watch.
Mrs. Dryhaug still is Of the
opinion that her husband was
murdered, as she claims that on
the day before he disappeared he
had a $40 bill and this was not
found upon his person in the
search made by Mr.. Marcum.
She also gives reason for her be-
lief that Mr.. Dryhaug met his
death as a result of foul play the
peculiar circumstance connected
with the letter which he carried
previous to his disappearance
and which turned up about a
week afterwards. Her belief is
not shared by the settlers in that
vicinity, however, who declare
his death due to accident.
As yet it has not been decided
by Mrs. Dyrhaug whether she
will institute an Investigation of
the circumstances surrounding
her husbands disappearance,
but it is thought that if such a
course is pursued the meagre
details obtainable would prevent
a conviction even should an arrest
follow.
The body will be inferred in
Intermediary at Shotley this after

Party of Surveyors Have Been
at Work Making Survey
Through Buena Vista.
ASSERTED BY THEM THAT NEW
LINE Is FEASIBLE.
Buena Vista Delegation Now in
Conference With Railroad
Officials.

Another survey has just been
completed by Alphonse Crawford
and two civil engineers from
Saltwater for the new Red Lake
railway and it is asserted by
them that the line which was de-
cided as being impracticable
some time ago could be ussd by
the company.
~. They have spent considerable
time in running a line through
Buena Vista, as the citizens Of
that town are anxious to secure
the road and have made several
Efforts to induce the railway to
locate its line so as to strike it.
The old line which was sur.
veyed by Mr.. Stoner's crew is
used almost entirely and only a
few changes have been made. It
is asserted that the new survey is
as good if not better than the one
which the company has contem
plated using and that no trouble
will be experienced should the
railway be located along this
route.
A delegation Of citizens from
Buena Vista have gone to Mime
apolis to confer with the railway
officials and every effort will be
made by them to induce the COM
pany to build the road so as to
strike Buena Vista.
It is claimed by those who were
instrumental in securing the re-
survey that the line can be
changed in such manner that the
work that has already been done
upon the road will not be wasted.
