ing the frozen seas to a point nearer
the south pole than had ever been
done before. In 1902 Borchgrevink

Killed In Cold Blood.
Hammond, La. Dec. 10, 1907.

I1du LlOnu, La Dec. ~, 1871.
Mutilated, almost beyond recogni-
tion, and lying in a pool of blood, the
body of Mrs. Hans Nelson, middle
aged lady was found in the woodpile
in the rear of her home, little over
two miles west of town, on what is
known as the Happy Woods road, at
an early hour Wednesday night, by
her young son Henry Nelson, when he
returned home from his work at Nor
rison's Grocery Store. The unfortu-
nate Woman's head had been shot al
most to fragments, according to the
information which was spread over the
city Immediately after the grief strick-
en- son had returned with his horrible
story. A party of citizens was at
once dispatched to the scene of the
tragedy, where investigation showed
that the woman had been brutally
murdered, the weapon used being q
shotgun, and the charge which had
entered the poor woman's head, buck
shot and birdshot. It would seem that
the murderer fired the contents Of
both barrels Of the shotgun into his
victims face, The general opinion Is

that the crime was committed about
5 O'Clock in the afternoon, and that
the woman had been instantly killed.
Sheriff John Saal was at once mott
fed of the horrible discovery, and
came down from Amite City with his
two bloodhounds early yesterday
morning, going at once to the scene
of the tragedy, in company with a
small party of citizens and deputies.
A careful search of the premises failed
to support the theory of robbery, as
nothing was found missing from the
place. An examination of the body
also dispelled all thought of attempted
assault, as no marks of violence be-
yond the wounds which brought death
were found. Silas Stewart, a negro
living near the Nelson place, gave in
formation which has probably solved
the mystery in connection with the
case. He stated to the sheriff that. a
negro known as Jim Mink, Alias
Brown, alias Smith, had come to his
house on the night previous to the
tragedy and asked to stay all night.
His request had been granted, and

Cadet Murdered.

Buyou Sara, La, Dec. %. -Adonois
Kemp Weydert, cadet of the Lou
isiana State University, and son of
Charles Weydert, of this place, was.
killed by drunken negro named
Weston last night, and the crime. has
aroused people of this parish as moth
ing that has happened in recent years.
Young Weydert was returning home
to spend the holidays with his parents
and was travelling on the Woodville
accommodation train of the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley Road. AS the train
approached Powell Station Weston,
who was frantically drunk, stood at
the depot and began firing indiscrimi-
nately at the train for the pure iend-
ish delight of it.
One of the bullets struck Weydert
in the neck and ranged downward, per-
forating vital part, and he died be-
fore the train reached this place.
The train crew and citizens chased
the negro and captured him, and he
was sent to Baton Rouge for safe
keeping, as the feeling is very high
against him and summary punishment
would have been administered.
The funeral of young Weydert took
place this afternoon at $50 o'clock,
and the remains We're inferred in the
Grace Church Cemetery. The whole
town paid tribute to his memory.
Young Weydert was just Is years
of age and gave promise of being par
ticularly bright in his studies. His
father is one of the most prominent
citizens Of Bayou Sara,, and the sym
pathy of the community goes out to
him in his grief.
