As the result OF the necessity to employ
unusual methods TO accomplish an orderly
legal execution OF William Lee, the negro
convicted OF felonious assault upon two
women in Somerset county, the next legis-
lature viii be called upon TO pass law
desl grating some central point In the state
where capital punishment shall be in
Hicted fer crimes committed throughout
Maryland. Gov. Warneld is heartily in
favor OF such plan, which also has the
Endorsement OF many states attorneys
throughout the commonwealth. 1t Is ar
gued that executions in the counties at
tract morbid crowds and are always ac-
comp9nied by more or less disorder The
case OF Isaac Winder is also cited as an
other argument in favor OF change IN the
law. When he was executed at Towson
last May moo tore down the fence sur
rounding the jail yard and thousands of
men, women and even children witnessed
the demoralizing spectacle OF the negro
fighting with his eNecutioners on the scat
fold In view of these recent events the
governor has practically decided upon one
change. At present II is customary for
the governor TO set the date for the execu-
tion Of murderer at least a month In
advance. In the future the death war
rants VIII command that the condemned
man shall pay the penalty on some day
between the LIST and 18th or the 30th of
the month. the case may be. The exact
date will then only be made known by the
sheriff 10 the legal witnesses of the execu-
ton and members Of the press.

MAN SOLD AT AUCTION

"shiftless White Man" Must Work
 for Il 1-s Gents Month For Ills Purchaser.

Elizabethtown, Ky.-With bidding decidedly quiet, Dock Aubury, a Bhiftless white man, was auctioned off recently by Sheriff Yales, being finally knocked down to J. J. John son, who will be entitled to the ser. vices of his purchase for the term of nine months. While the price, Il 1-s cents month. seems cheap for the labor of an able-bodied man. many express doubt whether Johnson will come out even. as Aubury, in addi. tion to having reputation for lazi. ness. has that of having a ravenous appetite.
 The proceedings at the court house attracted big crowd. being unusual, though perfectly regular under the statute vagrancy law. When Sheriff Yates first set forth what virtues Au. bury has. his soundness of body, etc, and stated that the terms were cash, . hush fell over the spectators.
 For while the sherif had a hard time getting bid at all. Finally 50 cents was offered. The sheriff ridi. culed this. Finally Johnson. who is a farmer near town, said he would give dollar, remarking 1t would be .

LOVE JEALOUSY IS CAUSE
Enraged 6rutes Attack Each Other With All the Fury of Which They Are capable--vlctor So Bad.

New York.-Here is a story of a bat tie royal between camels. It is told by an eyewitness of the fierce encoun- ter, which was duel to the death be- tween beasts maddened by jealous rage.
 Robert c. Arnold, sugar planter in the Philippines. brings to New York the report of this strange conflict on plantation in Tambao, Mindinao.
 One of the camels was an Indian bull of great speed and endurance, another a big South Australian brown draught bull and the third handsome fawn-colored COW.
 Kingsley, must say, had noticed for some time that sort of love jeal- ousy had sprung up between the two bulls over the COW camel. There is little doubt that rivalry in love for the female was the cause of the fray.
 When the fight started we ran into the field and ventured as near the combatants as we dared, hiding our selves behind some scrub timber
 When we got under cover the two bulls seemed to be maneuvering for

Visitor to Elmira Prison Gave W0.
 man Poison and Killed Himself.
 ELMIRA, N. Y., Dec. 27.-The FL mira county jail was the scene of 2 double tragedy last night. A woman named Bessie Wells occupied cell in the women's dormitory, awaiting sentence on Jan. 3 for abducting a young girl and harboring her for i'm moral purposes.
 A man named Frank Delaney, pos sessing a power of attorney from the woman and who is said to have been her lover, called at the jail and, stat. ing that he wished to obtain the wo- mans signature to some papers, was shown to her cell by guard who stood close by while he conversed with her.
 Suddenly Delaney passed bottle of carbolic acid through the bars and pressed a second one to his own lips. The guard sprang upon the man, but was not quick enough. Both died be- fore physician could be called. De laney was twenty-nine years old and was a railroad man. He comes from a respected family.

brown bull clasped his legs round the black bulls body, and. with gigantic effort rolled clean over with his foe and tried to jam the Indian down, but the black was too swift. and with 2 bound was on his feet, and again they faced each other and circled round and round like wrestlers looking for a fatal hold.
 The brown was the first to charge. and, as his head slipped past the oth- CTS guard, hia jaws closed on the near foreleg just below the knee joint, and he jerked the Indian to his flank. and then with thud that shook the very trees by which we stood. he crashed down his massive body to crush the enemy.
 'The black had rolled to one side, and as the brown bull rose quickly the black was upon him, and his teeth had the ear of his rival close homo by 'the roots. and, with one terrific munch he tore it away close down to the scalp. leaving the white bones grinning up toward the skies, bloody. bare and brutal.
 No power on earth could have stopped them. They were maddened with wrath, and would have turned on an army.
 But the end soon came. for the black had the worst of the weights, and weight, as you know. always tells in struggle when both are in earn est.
 We saw a wild rush and dense cloud of dust, rally at short range, and then the Indian bull went down, and the brown devil dropped his bris- ket fair and square on his skull. and before we could whistle a hymn the huge mountain of flesh had smashed the lean head to jelly.
 That ended the mortal career of the black fellow and we had to shoot the brown.
 About three weeks later the COW camel accidentally fell and broke one of its forelegs. and. of course, 1t too had to be shot. So that ended the career of the three camels in the Phil. ippines."
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-12-27

a chance to get in an effective blow or hold. although they were some yards apart They were both mad all through.
 "The COW camel, meantime, was sit ting down 50 yards away, calmly watching the fight.
 Suddenly the brown bull, setting his legs like mighty columns of mar ble on the firm ground. drew his head we'll back and waited. The Indian. on the other hand, drew his slender and more shapely legs we'll under him and crouched low. His neck was strained to it's utmost, his head almost touched the ground, while foam flew from his jaws.
 Slowly the black fellow crept on un. til within few feet of the brown. and then with spring of indescribable swiftness he dashed forward and seized the of foreleg of the brown in his bony jaws and jerked the leg across to the near side. trying to hurl the brown on his flank; but the big fellow had evidently been there before for he dropped like a flash of light ming to his knee. and, seizing the black by the withers with his teeth. crushing the black head down with his neck, he put all his giant strength into his work and fairly heeled the Indian otf his legs. tearing away great Jumps of flesh. hair and hide with one effort.
 Then he bounded to his feet and threw himself forward with all his mighty weight to try and crush the Indian; but the Indian shot under him as he came like a lightweight boxer under the long left hand of a heavy weight. and. turning with electric speed. he seized the brown bull by the heel of his near hind leg and threw him clean and square upon his back, and then dashed in upon him, trying to force the big fellows head upon the ground and pin 1t there with his bris- ket. and so crush his skull to a pulp.
 "The Australian seemed to know that if once pinned down he would never rise again. and he fought say agely. but always cautiously.
 When the black bull placed his weight in one direction the brown would shift his head in another as rapidly as a swallow veers in mid-air. and yet he never lost an opportunity to pay his respects to neck. shoulder and throat. tearing and rending and ripping with his big yellow teeth like tiger.
 But the Indian was not idle. Once his jaws met over and under the bones that guard the eyes of camels. and with one horrible crunch the bones spIintered and the great brown eye was smashed into watery fragments.
 The dust thrown up by their s,rus- eiing bodies mingled with the blood and foam that vas flying in all direc- tons. and yet the fighting brutes made 10 sound It vas duel to the death, and no noise was wanted.
