eATTLE oF MARATHON.

The Most Decisive Day In the His
tory of the world.
The single day in the worlds history
which was fraught with the most tre-
mendous consequences to mankind was
the day on which the battle OF Mara
thon was fought. The handful of tiny
states that inhabited Greece had devel-
Oped faculties which Indicated that
man had advanced another stage to-
ward the highest ideals.
Foremost among those little nations
was Athens. which state. too, contained
the germs of human freedom. 1t was
the forerunI er OF the democracies of
the world. i,ut the very existence OF
Athens and Greece was threatened by
the huge barbaric empire OF Persia.
Darius had sent out his hordes of war
rlors to add the Greclan states 10 his
vast domlnions. Face TO face his forces
met the Athenians on the plains Of
Marathon.
Hitherto invincibie IN the field, the
Persinns looked upon the little army
opposed TO them with contempt The
Greeks themselves hcsitated to hazard
a battle with the c0nquerors of the
world. Their generals debated the
question ana the decision 70 fight the
Perslans was caused by the eloquence
Of the immortal Miltiades. He led his
10000 Greeks against the Persian host
and gained decisive victory. The glo-
rlous day of Marathon beat back the
ndvnuein0 ffda of paGteru dqspoffslu
and barbarism and saved the freedom
and civilization OF the western world.

c.dent Is reported from the little gar

on the outskirts OF the town, when he
suddenly fell TO the ground Persons
who came TO his assistance found that
he had been struck by a rifle bullet,
though no one, including the wounded
man himself, had heard OF seen a shot
fired. Investigations resulted in the
discovery that long range firing exer.
clses had been going on at the time at
the garrison range three mil IS away,
and that a gun had accidentally gone
OF. The bullet from this rife had pass
ed over wood. and In dropping down
on the other side from a considerable

Record of Crime.
BOSSON WAS AGED l5
CBy Associated Press.)

Cape Town, March S. The most
remarkable stories are being told in
connection with the crimes commit
ted by Basson, the murderer who
committed suicide upon seeing the
body of his latest victim dug up by
the police.
The authorities pronounce this man
Basson the most remarkable criminal
in the history of South Africa. The
police absolutely know of nine muir
ders committed during the past FIVE
or six years, yet Basson was only %
years old
In almost every case his methods
were similar. He lent money to his
victim, carefully selected some one
hard pressed for funds. and then as
security obtained their insurance
policies In some cases he actually
paid the premiums out Of his own
pocket.
Selecting a suitable opportunity, af-
ter obtaining the policy, he murdered
his victim Some he drugged and af-
terwards drowned Some he strangled
and others he shot, and reported their
death by accident.
His career is the most hideous rec
ord of crime ever known in this
country. In every case Basson cover
er his tracks so cleverly as to leave
no definite evidence of any kind.
EmbOldened by his success and
scoring at the suggestions freely
made as to his guilt. to which he
would reply, Let them prove it. >
he proceeded from crime to crime.
All were carefully planned and there
Is but little doubt that he had an
ac,omplice in most cases. In the last
crime probably two men aided him.
Their arrest is momentarily expected.
The news Of Bassons crimes and
suicide has startled the whole of
South Africa, Tor his murderous ca
reer extended from Vryburg, where
he killed man, to Robertson. Malm-
esbury and other towns of the west
ern provinces. AT least four murders
were committed by him within the
boundaries of the Cape peninsula
alone. During this period he lived
quietly with his mother, brother and
sister, all of whom affirm complete
ignorance of his crimes.
