county, was murdered by a band of
horsemen. supposed to have been cat
tlemen. Swanson was accompanied
by his brother and a man named
Gourley. These two men were forced
to surrender and were tied hand and

and he was shot down in sight of his
brother and his other companion by

got down from his horse to take a
shot at Swanson. After shooting
Swanson the horsemen rode away in

A Mothers Sacrifice.

Legends In India run that IL q wom-
an stricken with leprosy suffers her
self to be buried alive the disease will
not descend to her children. There
was in the northwest provinces of In
dia the wife Of a gardener on whom
the loathsome malady had fallen. Chill
dren were born to her. The disease
grew worse. She importuned her hus-
band to bury her alive. He at last,
yielding to her prayers, summoned his
son. The two dug the grave. and four
neighbors assisted at the sculpture. So
the woman died. These facts were in.
vestigated in a magistrates court and
were proved.
