SUFFRAGETTE PROPOSITION

OMAHA. Oct 3O.-Equal suffrage

from the platform adopted today at
the national w. c. T. U. convention.

Under Sheriff Mike Catalan secretly
conveying the prisoner to this city,
where he was kept for several
weeks. His first statement was
made to- representative of the Bo-
nanza, and he said that he had no
knowledge Of the killing. He fur
ther stated that he was enamoured
with Mrs. Mann and had he been in
his right senses, would not have
harmed hair OF her head.
His trial was of only three days
duration and in an endeavor to es-
cape capital punishment, his de-
fense was conducted along the lines
of temporary insanity.

The crime of which Casey was
convicted was one of the most bru-
tai ever committed in the southern
country. While in a drunken fren-
zy on the evening of August 16 he
killed Mrs. Thomas Heslip and SER
iously wounded Mrs. Alice Mann.
That his victims did not number
more, was due to the prompt dis
arming of the murderer by Thomas
S. Dunn and his son, who were near
when the shooting occurred. The
tragedy happened on the front porch
of the Heslip home, where the wom-
en- were talking.
Casey's existence was nearly end
ed that night, for a mob gathered
and had a leader appeared, the jail
would have been stormed and the
prisoner taken out and lynched On
the following day. Thomas Heslip,
husband of the murdered woman,

game; but gemsbuck, although fairly
plentiful away in the interior of the
desert, are hard enough to get, and to
see them was to want a head. My
horse was in hard condition and had
had some stiffish gallops recently, so
| saddled him up at once and deter
mined to give chase as soon as the
"boys"-my two Kaffirs-returned.
Telling them to get on with the skerm,
| set out at a canter keeping we'll to
the right to get the advantage of the
wind. The veldt was so open that
stalking would have been hopeless,
whereas, by the aid of my horse as
kind of blind, might possibly get
shot before the gemsbuck took the
alarm, even though they might see as,
so long as they did not catch my
faint. However, l had to go more d.
rectly towards them than | wished, for
fear of stampeding the hartebeeste
into them.

my surefooted horse was not able to
negotiate the villainous country.
therefore pulled up, lest we should
break both our necks, and as | did so
had the satisfaction of seeing the
gemsbuck drop In its tracks and re-
main there whilst its companions
only seemed to scamper the faster. On
coming up, | found her, for it was a
fine COW, stone dead. The blood was
only beginning to trickle from the
wound, and had not noticed a spot
anywhere on the ground she had gone
over. On examination l found that
the bullet had completely torn away
the apex of the heart, and yet she had
galloped at least hundred yards at
as great a speed as her companions,
practically without bleeding a drop
another instance of the extreme vital
ity of such creatures, which | have
found even still stronger in the Ger
vidae proper than in the antelopes.
She had a prettily marked head, with
a length of horns of three feet eight
inches. 1t was out OF the question
thinking of bagging any of the rest of
the herd, so threw the carcass across
my horse and started back to camp.
A few days afterwards, as was
perched on the wagon box scraping
at the skull of the gemsbuck, hardly
paid any attention to a pair of secre-
tary birds which were sailing right
overhead. Their appearance, however,
suggested snakes, and sure enough,
there, as | looked around, among a
few odds and ends, impervious to the
irrepressible ants, was large puff ad-
der. II had crept through the fence
of thorns, and in evident excitement

with body half raised. l did not like
the look of this particular reptile a
bit; but I did not intend that he

ing my horse the stiff gallop l had
anticipated for these creatures are
as swift as any of the genus. Throw
ing the carcass just as 1t was, without
opening, across the saddle, | took 1t to
a spot which would give me chance
of a telling shot, If a lion should

watched the best part of the night,
nothing came of my vigil, the jackals
reaping the benefit of all my careful

Next morning was, of course, about
looking for signs; but could make
nothing out as to lions. On going
down toward the river some half mile
from camp, my attention was attract
ed by the unusual conduct of leop-
ard. He was cutting all sorts OF
capers: at one time ploughing along
the ground with his head; at another
rearing upright and tearing at his
throat with his fore paws. All this
was curious, it was also my opportun-
ity, and | lost no time in putting
couple of bullets into him. the second
of which laid him out nicely, without
giving me the trouble which usually
falls to my lot when tackling these
great cats. On proceeding to investi-
gate the reason for such a strange
performance, my wonder ceased.
Having tackled a porcupine with more
gusto than discretion, one of the lat
ter's quilts had got inserted under the
root of the leopard's tongue, and was
working deeper and deeper. The tor
ture the poor animal endured must
have been awful. and do Lot imagine
it could have survived. No dead
