MURDER MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
Wyoming Lad Coniesses to Killing a
Prominent Ranchman.

A special from Sun Dance, Wyo.,
says: The mystery of the disap-
pearanco of James Garrett, a promi.
nent ranchman, ON December 10, has
been cleared by the confession of VIII
lie Erickson. a ninctocn-year.old boy.
Erickson confesses that on December
10, while Garrett was driving off a
calf belonging to the Ericksons he
was met by Otto Erickson, who com
manded him to release the calf.
Garrett, in reply knocked Otto from
his horse and attempted to shoot him
with a rife. The boy was too quick.
and shot Garrett three times. Garrett
fell from his horse, still alive, and the
Ericksons dragged him into some
bushes and there cut his throat with
a knife, despite his appeals for mercy
Later in the day Otto returned to
the body, and tieing a rope to the
feet dragged II some distance to a
new hiding place rwo days later
Willie and Otto packed the body on a
horse and moved II four miles, de-
posting it where it was found by
searching parties.

Rev. Isaac Selby Of Australia shot
at Superior Judge Hebbard in San

inch Of the judges head and lodged In
the back of the chair. The would-be
murderer was at once removed from

charged with attempt TO commit muir.
der.
Selby was recently sued for divorce.
He conducted his own defense but
was unsuccessful, and a decree
against him was granted Judge Heb.
bard who issued tho decree, was try
ing a case when Selby arose from a
seat in the court room and fired point
blank at the Judge, who, hearing the
bullet whistle past his ear, rushed
from the bench and grappled with his
assailant. preventing him from firing
another shot.
For a time great excitement pre-
vailed, but quite was soon restored,
when it was learned that the Judge
had not been injured. Before being
taken to his cell Selby said:
Il shot at Judge Hebbard because
that seems the only way for man to
get justice in this country. My only
regret is that | seem to have bungled
matters considerably. My intention
was to kill him. but | was a tritle

BRUTAL DAYLIGHT MURDER.
Band Of Expert Forgers Make Way
With Witness Auainst Them.

A sensational story of lawlessness
in the Caucasus has just been revealed
by brutal murder, in the center of
the town of Kutais, in daylight, of the
chief witness against band of ex.
pert forgers which was discovered
five years ago forging patents OF no
billy alleged to have been issued by
former king Of Mingreha, formerly
an Independent principally of eau.
casus, Georgia.
The band included many high Off.
cials, who sold the titles of nobility.
The leaders were imprisoned by the
governor and a Judge, both of whom
died suddenly, and the leaders of the
forgers were then discovered to be
at large. One of these, who disap-
peared and, 1t was alleged, drowned
himself in the Black sea, has been
found alive.
