FOUR PERSONS KILLED.

That Etcole Buffet, DOminick Min
ichetto, Joseph Minichetto and Mrs.
Frank Palmetto, who disappeared from
Florence, COL, were murdered and
their bodies chopped to pieces is the
opinion of the police. The disposition
made of the bodies is believed to have
been psrtly revealed by the finding Of
human lungs, tborsx and piece of
tongue 10 the Arkansas river.
1t Is thought that the bodies are being
scattered along the river, and towns be-
low Florence have been notified.
Tony Bovori, in jail charged with the
murder Of the Minichet.o brothers, had a
letter addressed to Tony Neroni from
his father 10 Italy, asking him to re-
turn and participate in fortune. The
father offered to use every effort to clear
away murder charge there If the son
would return to Italy.
Bovori was engaged in gardening with
the Minichelto brothers, and is accused
of having murdered them to obtain their
property He had $3.50 when arrested.
Buffet was so old man employed in the
gsrdes. The police say he was killed
because Of his knowledge of the other
murders.
Mrs. Palmetts was young divorced
woman, who disappeared two months
ago She had kept house for Bovori,
but had repeatedly refused to marry him.
All her clothes have been found in Be-
vori's cabin. A bloodstained axe was
also found there, and a Mexican woman
has informed the police that she washed
bloodstained clothing for Boyori.

Abyssinian Uprising.

Rome, Jan. 10-N ~ # lie AbYs-
sini9n rising against The Italians in
5onsliIand has created a veritsble panic
in the Q1irinal. The government has
by no means forgotten the crushing de-
feat of its army By King Menelik's forces
in 1896, as a result of which Itsly was
compelled to surrender sll the territory
south of the March, Belsa and Nuns
rivers to tho natives, and the merest
hint of friction with the Abyssinian
monarch in Stanley creates furry OF
alarm. The official statement is, that
the garrison, though besieged, ia holding
its own. L, is conceded that the sur
rounding country, in which there were
many Italian traders, was swept by the
native forces, that the settlers property
was con6scated, that a number were
killed and that the rest have been made
prisoners. Wills The Italian squadron
in the Red Sea has been ordered at once
to protect the coast towns, 1t Is conceded
that the situation in the interior will be
desperate in the event OF warfare. The
gavrisOns there do not exceed 1000
men, all natives with the exception OF
the officers. Lugh is thirty days march

FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. 10. 1868.

ONE of the first important bills 10
troduced 10 the General Assembly OF
Virginia, was on Wednesday introduced
in the Senate by Senator Roland E.
Olase, of Dickinson county, for the pur-
pose of changing the law as to the ap-
p)intment Of commissioners of the rev.
enue in the counties and cities OF the
State. This bill amends act OF March
IA, 1906 (Acts Of 1906 page 25D, under
which the commissioners are now sp-
pointed by the circuit judges, and If this
bill is passed by tbs General Assembly
it would place the Law bsck as it stood
at tbe time of the code Of 1904, and as
found in sections 80 add SO OF the code
of 1904. If tots bill should become q
Law he comm ssiouers recently appoint
ed in the counties would hold till the
end of their terms but 10 the election 10
November, 1911, commissioners OF the
revenue would be again elected by the
people at the same time the other county
officers are elected. Senator Chase,
With q number Of other Senators and
members of the House of Delegates, is
going to make a vigorous effort to secure
this change and place back with the
v),ers the right to select these officers.
I. is commended by the advocates of this
measure that it was wrong to take away
from the people the right to select the
men who sssess their property for taxa
ton and that the legislature had as well
take away from the people--if the constl-
tuition did not stand in the way-the right
to elect their clerks, sherifs, treas
urers aud commemorative attorneys,
as to take from them the right to
elect their commissioners of the revenue.

A DISPATCH fron Charlotte, N. c.,
says that news bas jlst reached that city
Of a most unusual lynching at Pine
Level, N. O., Monday night, in which a
negro Snowman was the victim and ne
groes the participants. The lynching
was the outcome Of disappointment on
the part of the negroes, who we're dis
satisfied with the show, it not being up
to their expectation. A mob Of masked
negroes gathered, went TO the boarding
house where the Snowman and his fe-
male companion we're boarding, took
them out and lynched the Snowman,
the woman escaping to parts unknown.
The msngled body of the showmal YVES
found on the Southern Railway tracks
near Pine Lsvel. The negro is an i'm
itative being, and the unusual number
of lynchiDgs, especially in the southern
part of the country, is having its effect.
Ifinierior showmea are 10 be lynched,
lecturers, preachers and others, who fail
to meet expectations, may be the next
victims OF mob fury.

Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1908-03-12

The Warren Commercial Club has
just had printed at the Sheaf office a
neat and valuable little booklet on
'CloYer and What it Means to the
Red iver Valley.' The booklet is
intenf led for distribution amoung
the farmers in this vicinity with
view interesting them in the
growing of clover. 1t contains s.
large emount of practical informa-
tion ip regard to the manner of pre-
pairing the soil, kinds Of clover to
SOW. and the time and method of
seeding. The value of clover for
pasturage. as hay and seed crop,
and asssterilizer. is also well set
forth. Every farmer should secure
copy and read it carefully. and then
''Be sure to SOW some clover" In
preparing the booklet the CONNER
cial Club has no other object in
view than the betterment of the
conditions of the farmers. realizing
that Anything that tends to build
up the country will also build up the
town. The interests of the farmers
and towns people are Identical. and
that fact is being recognized more
and more. The old spirit of ami
mostly that has existed in one form
or another in years past. is dying
out, and farmers and merchants are
now pulling together for the develop
ing of both country and town. and
their own mutual good. That the
! farmers will appreciate the efforts of
the Warren Commercial Club in
furnishing practical and reliable in
| formation in regard to the growing
, of clover. which is a new crop to
most of them. may be taken for
granted.
