General Leconte Captured and
Murder of Haytien Resi-

NEWS is JUST CONFIRMED.
MINISTER OF INTERIOR CAR
RIED ON HIGH HANDED METH
obs IN CAMPAIGN WHICH RE-
SUITED IN OWN DEATH.

Port Au Prince, Haiti, Nov. %
The report that General Leconte, the
Haitien minister of the interior, has
been killed at Jeremie, has been con.
firmed. The circumstances of his
death are briefly as follows:
Upon arriving at Jeremie, at the
head of government detachment sent
out against the revolutionists he found
the government gunboat Croyant
ashore. He at once accused the COM
1nander, Captain Ostema, OF treason
and, refusing to listen to any explana-
tions. he forthwith had him executed.
After this act Leconte landed at Jere-
mic for the purpose of recruiting men
to fightagainst the rebels under Gen
eral Simon, leader of the government
against President Nord Alexis. Some
of the people of Jeremie protested
against this course. whereupon Le-
conte selected two of the most promi-
nent citizens and had them executed.
Theseoutrages wrought the people
up to great degree of excitement and
Indignation. They armed themselves
hastily and advanced against Leconte
and his troops. There was practically
no resistance. Leconte was taken
prisoner, and in his turn executed by a
fusillade upon the same wharf where
he had caused the killing of Ostema
and the other two men.

Indiar Tradition That Tells the Origin

According to the Indian tradition,
scalping arose in this wise:
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, Of
years ago, when all the Indians in the
world were of one tribe and under one
chief, there arose dispute in the tribe
as to who should succeed the old chief.
who had just died without issue. There
were two principal aspirants to the
honor, each having a considerable fol-
lowing. The dispute finally ended
with strife and war, and for the first
time in the history was brothers
blood shed by brothers.
The chief Of one of the factions had
a beautiful daughter, and one Of the
bravest warriors was a sutton for her
hand. Her father consented to the
match on one condition-that the
young brave should journey to the
camp of the enemy. many miles away
through the deep snow, kill the chief,
his rival, and return with some unmis-
taxable token of his death. In spite
of the snow and the distance, the
young man Immediately set out on his
journey and. after lying in ambush
for several days, finally entered the
camp, boldly attacked the chief in his
tent, slew him and cut Off his head.
Next morning the murder was dis
covered. and the tribe set of in hot
pursuit. Little by little they gained
upon the fleeing warrior, who in his
anxiety to elude his pursuers cast
away all his fmpediments, to his very
clothing. retaining only his stone knife
and the trophy which was to win him
his bride.
His pursuers gained rapidly until
finally SO near did they come he could
hear them on his trail. His grewsome
burden grew heavier and heavier, and
as a last resort he whipped out his
knife, stripped the scalp from the head
of the dead man and, thus lightened
of his load, reached his own camp In
safety, presented to his chief the token
of his prowess and was wed, amid
great rejoicing. to the damsel Of his
