The Federal officers learned that

BRAIN PERFORATED WITH SHOT
John Murphcy Shot While i'm Tree
on Squirrel Hunt

Augusta, Ga, Dec. 26.-With his
praln perforated with bird shot, John
Murphey, white man about So years
OF age, is lying in a critical condition
at the City Hospital. Whether or not
he will recover is a matter of con-
lecture.
Tossing in a delirum in his bed he
related circumstances surrounding the
shooting in an almost incoherent man
ner. Enough was gathered from his
wild talk and the men who accom-
panied him to the hospital, to gain
information that he was shot while
on a hunt with his brother and a
friend.
The story was related by the men
who accompanied him to the hospital
is that Murphey, who was a short
space ahead Of the two men, went up
into a tree after a squirrel and that
his brother and the other man, whose
name could not be ascertained, came
up shortly after ,and seeing the squir-
rel in the tree and not seeing Muir
phey, shot at the squirrel and instead
OF bringiI down their game brought
down Mr.. Murphey, who was found
to have shot through his brain, and
his entire head was perforated with
small birdshot with which the shot
gun was loaded.
1t is said that the shooting was un-
-phey's brother nor his friend, who ac-
companied him, was aware that he
was in the tree at the time the shot
was fired.

BLACK BOX STILL MISSING.
Heirs OF Cardinal RampOlla Anxious
Concerning Will.

Rome, Dec. 26-All the evidence
adduced concerning the black box
taken from the room OF Cardinal
Rampolla the day he died tends to
show the Cardinal was fearful that ii
would be tampered with. The box
believed by some to have contained
the Cardinals will, was placed under
his pillow by the Cardinal the day he
was forced to take to his bed.
1t Is hoped the person who appro-
priated the box is not interested in
the suppression Of the wlll, but car
ried the box away in the belief that
it contained valuables and will return
the useless papers.
Negotiations are proceeding be-
tween the various heirs of the Cardi-
nal to see whether they can reach an
agreement for a division of the estate
under the will executed by the Cardi-
nal in 1889.
