HOMICIDE NEAR LAMAR.
Old Dispute Over Land Line Ends in

A dispatch from Lamar to The
News and Courier says Wednesday
afternoon J. S. Parnell shot and iu-
stantly killed Robert Randolph about
two miles from here. Both parties
are white. 1t appears that trouble
has been brewing between Parnell
and Randolph for several years over
a land line.
While laying off rows in his field
Wednesday Randolph, who is a quiet
and well liked man, was placing a
guide stake when Parnell approached
from the side, and. taking deliberate
aim with a breech-loading shotgun,
fired at Randolph. The entire load
entered the neck and face, killing
him instantly. Parnell went to his
house, and getting his coat fled, car
rying the gun with him.
Two deputies of Sheriff Blackwell
are on their way to the scene and a
posse is being formed to hunt down
the slayer. A lynching is feared if
Parnell is captured before the officers
arrive. Randolph was about 45
years old and leaves wife and three
small children. Parnell is man of
about fifty years. The tragedy was
witnessed by David Paul, a negro.

Tragedy
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
OAKLAND, Feb. 10.-The discovery
of another skeleton late this afternoon
in the same excavation in which
workman on the premises of Eglioe
Paganucci in Elmhurst dug up a skele-
ton last SATURDAY. afternoon leads the
coroner's Office of Alameda county to
believe they are on the track of big
murder mystery.
The bones found today were in the
same state of preservation as the others.
They were located in the same hole
about two feet deeper.
Sheriff Barnett has ordered his depu-
ties to make thorough investigation.
The bones found Saturday have been
examined by surgeons at the request of
the coroner's office and pronounced as
bones of a human being, and not enough
decomposed to bear out the theory that
they were those of some ancient Indian,
as was at first supposed
The man who was digging the we'll
when the first skeleton was unearthed
refused until today to longer keep on
his job of digging the well. He had
excavated probably two feet when his
pick struck something hard, which,
when uncovered, was found to be q
skull.
Notice was given the sheriff and the
coroner's Office and deputies from each
were sent to, the place.
Tomorrow general search will be
made of the premises.
