ZULU CHIEF SINGS
HOME, SWEET HOME"
IN ENGLISH NOW

London, Dec. 2S.-Dinizulu, head
thief of the ferocious Zulus. renowned
as the best fighters among the natives
Of Africa, has allowed a lone sheriff,
to go into Zululand and attack him.,
His British nelghbors in Natal say he
has been making mischief, melting the
blacks TO remove the white colonials.
They got together a lot of troops and
seemed about to send them against him
when he sent a message to the gov
ernor asking what the military prepara-
tions meant, and why, If he had done
wrong, he was not arraigned before a
civil court and given a fair trial. So
a sheriff was sent after him with a
warrant and Dinizulu. son Of the war
like Cetewayo, quietly went along to
be tried.
DiniZulu lives, when he is at home, in
a well constructed building, furnished
in the English fashion, with large mir
rored wardrobes in his bedroom and
all the appliances of civilized life. He
has a brick house for any English
guests, and has an English speaking
native valet TO attend him. At night
he entertains his guests with a gramo-
phone. with English records, and if
we'll enough. plays the organ himself
and sings to mis- own accompaniment
his faVorite song, which he sings I'M
English, being Home, Sweet Home"
He is a fluent Zulu scholar, and writes
with ease i'm a bold hand, and also
speaks English.

SWEETHEART SLAIN
SOUTHERN COLONEL
DYING IN A HOVEL

Deadwood, S. D., Dec. 2+.-Through
the finding OF some letters and doc
uments old and worn. that had laid
for years in his little hut he calls home,
the secret of the life of James Hull,
known to every one here as "Swill'
Barrow Jimmie" owing to the strange
way in which he has gathered his food
for an existence has become known.
Hull has been a resident here for over
20 years and is one of the city's char,
acters. He has lived the life OF a re-
cluse, although he is educated and
we'll read. Recently he was taken i'll
and the physicians who attended him,
seeking information of his relatives,
came across the papers that led to his
life story.
They told of his love for a south
ern girl during the civil war, in Vir-
,ginia, while he was q colonel In Lees
army. and of her sudden death at
the hands of a bullet from n of
HulIs soldiers during d fight near
her home.
The old mans diary showed plainly
that he had resolved TO attempt to-
foget with a sordid existence, which is
now fast drawing to n close.

DID AGED DAKOTA
WOMAN PUT POISON
IN BREAKFAST FOOD?
Father and Son Are in Jail and
Accuse Each Other---
Mystery Deepens.

Miller, s. D., Dec. 24.-Charged with
the murder of his mother and to be cast
In Jail with his father, who is charged
with the same crime, with the fear that
his father may kill him at the first OPP
portunity, is the unpleasant predica-
ment in which Fred Kamuiel fnds him
self as he comes with the sheriff from
his home northeast Of here to be placed
behind the iron gates.
No one believes that young kammel
poisoned his mother, himself and the
house dog, unless 1T is his father, who
swore out the warrant for his arrest.
This weird scene of the morning after
the poisoning, when he gained con-
seriousness after a deathly spell Of sick
ness on the floor, as he gazed upon the
ghastl face of his mother as she lay
dead beside him, haunts his every mo-
ment, and now to be cast in the cell
with his father, of whom he has a
natural fear, is almost unbearable.
II the father is guilty of putting the
poison in the oatmeal that killed the
mother, then he was most ungrateful to
a devoted wife. 1t seems that while the
two quarreled, Mrs. Kammel living
with her son a half mile from the old
man, she would go and clean up the
house and make it pleasant for her
husband whenever he might be absent,
iliahlII6 SURE " ne SOuC "htI ht <
turned. The old lady carried a bullet
in her hip, received at the hands of
the old man several years ago, said to
have been an accidental shot.
Besides fearing for his own life If
placed in the cell with his father, the
young man believes that the old man
will commit suicide.
There are some who believe that the
old man is entirely innocent Of the
charge of putting the poison in the oat-
meal, and that 1t was done by the
aged woman herself, though they can
not understand why she would poison
her son, who had befriended her. There
seems 10 motive for the son to poison
her or for her to poison the son.
The old man cannot speak English,
being a German, and has to have an
interpreter to talk for him. This will
make his examination tedious and long
drawn out.
The son speaks English well.
Both the old man and the son have
good farms and will be able TO put up
a strong defense.
