in Jail, and next day were carried to

AGED WOMAN MURDERED
HER HEAD SPLIT OPEN BY A BLOW
FROM. AN AXE.
Two Negro Boys Arrested-A Lynch
ing Narrowly Averted. b..
Have Confessed.

COLUMBIA, Feb. 26.-Sitting in her
home. two miles west Of .Cayce, this
morning, white-haired Mrs. Paul D.
Ellison was suddenly struck down
from behind by negro burglar arm
ed with her husbands axe. The
heavy weapon sank deep into the
skull and death was probably instan-
taneous. His deed done, the assassin
strove to cover up the evidence so
that the crime would not be discov-
cred untiEbe had made good his es-
cape. Catching up the pitiful, vast
ed body he forced it into a clothes bas-
ket near at hand and tossed over it
the quilts from the bed. Then catch
ing up Mr.. Ellisor's shotgun and one
of his coats the murderer fled.
The crime was not discovered un-
til an hour or more afterward. Mr..
Ellison had gone to New ,Brookland
at an early hour to sell vegetables,
leaving Mrs. Ellison alone in the little
three room house. The supposition
is that the murderer, seeing the mas
ter of thehouse drive away, supposed
the home to be empty. Mr., Ellison
returned to the house at about $50
o'clock and found his daughter and
several friends sitting upon the door
step awaiting his return. The house
was locked up, and all supposed that
Mrs. Ellison had closed it to run over
to a neighbor's After waiting around
the premises for some time they be-
came alarmed and forced the door to
find the reality far worse than any
thing they could have feared.
The alarm was quickly given, and
within the hour men were searching
for the murderer.
Mrs. Ellison leaves her husband, an
aged farmer much respected in the
community, and six children. four
married daughters and two grown
sons.

NEW NATIONAL BISON
RANGE IN MONTANA.

The bison range in the Flathead
Indian reservation in Montana, to es-
tablish which Congress at its last ses-
sion appropriated $4,000, has been
selected. The location OF the range Is
the one recommended by Prof. Morton
J. Elrod, of the university OF Montana
after he had carefully examined sew
eral parts of the country. 1t lies d.
rectly north of the Jocko river near
the towns of Ravalli and Jocko. APP
proximately 12.SO0 acres are embraced
in the tract, which will be fenced in
a substantial manner under the direc-
ton of the engineering department OF
the United States forest service.
OF the $4,000 appropriated only
$4,000 will be available for fencing
the range and constructing the shelter
sheds and other buildings necessary
for the proper maintenance and care
OF the bison. The remaining 100000
will be paid to the owners Of the land,
many of whom are Indians. Funds for
the purchase OF bison are being raised
under the auspices OF the American
Bison society, which was largely in
strumental in securing the appropria-
ton.
The first person to spend actual
money in the effort to preserve the
American bison from total extinction
was the late Austin Corbin, who many
years ago fenced some 5000 acres at
Blue Mountain park, New Hampshire,
and secured a herd of bison. The Cor
bin herd became in course Of time the
inspiration Of the national movement
which is now furthered by the Amer
lean Bison society. This society, Of
which President Roosevelt IL honorary
