BROTHER
Kim MUTHlitt.
Killed in The JmI at Gates
ville, N. C.
MURDERER CONFESSES-
Linwood Wiggins Says He
And His Brother William
Got Mad Playing
Checkers.
Made desperate by confine
ment, and enraged because he
lost a game of checkers. Lin
wood Wiggins, 17 years old,
slew his brother, William, in
the county jail at Gatesville, N.
C, on Sunday last. William
was nineteen years of age. The
brothers had been in jail a
mouth. They went in default
of a fine for obtaining goods uu
der false pretenses.
Linwood called for Sheriff
Riddick to come, saying his
bro'Jier was hurt. William was
found lying on the floor in a
pool of blood. He was dying.
Blood and brains were oozing
from the back of the head, where
the skull was crushed.
Linwood was cool, but told
an unlikely story. He said they
got mad playing checkers, and
had a fist fight, during which
William fell and struck his head
agaiuai mc nun grating. vviis
ham lived an hour.
In sight of his dyeing broth
er, Linwood asked Sheriff Rid
dick to send some dinner. He
was hungry. The meal was
brought and the fratricide ate
heartily in the death chamber.
Dr. George D. Williams, coro
ner, was notified. He summoned
a jury. Their verdict read that
"William Wiggins came to his
death from blows with some
heavy instrument in the hands
of his biother, Linwood Wig
gins.
After Linwood had his din
ner he felt better. He confessed
he killed his brother deliberate
ly. He walked from behind and
struck him on the head with a
piece of stove wood two feet
long and three inches thick.
There was an ugly knot on one
end of the bludgeon, making it
a bad weapon. William's head
had been struck several times.
The bone was shattered in each
place.

A NEW USE FOR CORN.
Henceforth, smokless powder
will be exclusively used in
warfare, not only for the rapid
firing artillery, but also for the
new rifles which the iufautry
will use in the fiield. In the
manufacture of this powder
distilled spirits play a prominent
part, thus opening up a new
and quite extensive market
for American corn. The fact
is one that can not tail to
interest the favor, as ill
civilized nations now use this
powder, but this country alone
grows the corn. In tne light
of these facts the prepartion of
Great Britain, and the constant
rumors of great Eu.opean war,
take on a local and personal
interest for every Western corn
grower. An extensive war
among the great European
nations would have a marked
effect upon the market for spirits
and corn, and as the whole
world is to a large extent
dependent upon America for
this ingredient of smokeless
powder, and as this powder is a
necessity in warfare, it must be
had at any price.

Revival of Corporal Punishment
It may be that wehave ad vanes
edaltogether too fast in the mat
ter of doing away with legal
personal chastisement. The
latest voice to add strength to
this belief is that of Governor
Roosevelt, of New York, to the
eftect that the only way to reform
a brute is to make him feel pain
Certain it is that there are
people who are unresponsive to
moral appeals, to whom
imprisonment is no disgrace and
who revel in their evil associa
tions. When the State undertakes
to lodge and feed them, under
the name of imprisonment, they
are simply living in clover.
Of the 2,000 negroes to day in
the Georgia penal camps fully
9 per cent, of them are better
lodged and better fed than they
ever were by their own efforts.
Indeed, the statistics show that
quite a number of them are
serving: second and third terms,
deliberately sought because they
wanted to get among the boys.
At the worst, they are quite as
well off as the gangs of men who
work in railroad or caual enter
prises. Is theie no better method
of dealing with these criminals
of choice than that of the State
undertaking their support?
Delaware has never abolished
the whipping post.and her people
say they never will. There is
nothing which brings a wife

NERVES OF STEEL.
An Engineer Takes a Nap on
An Arch 150 Feet Above
Ground.
William Burns, an engineer
created considerable excitement
Sunday afternoon by threatens
ing to jump from the highest
point on the South Twenty-
second street bridge. Burns had
been celebrating during the day,
and about 3 o'clock in the after
noon he walked out on the
bridge and climbed up through
the network of structural iron to
the top of the arched span and
lay down on the Very top of the
arch to sleep off his drunk.
The man attracted a large
crowd by his peculiar actions.
Women were excited lest he
would lose his balance and dash
out his life by falling to the as
phalt floor of the bride:e. Men
yelled at him to come down and
boys were amused at his per
formance. The matter was re
ported to Officer J. Wr. Canning,
who went to the bridge and tried
to induce Burns to descend from
his exalted position. The po
liceman was no more successful
than were the others who bad
made the same attempt. The
man lay stretched at full length
along the top of the arch, ap
parently sound asleep and ob
vious of all that was going on
below him.
Officer Channiug went to the
house of Engine Company No.
12 and had Truck C driven
down to the bridge, the idea be
ing to run a ladder up to the
top of the arch and bring Burns
down. When the truck arrived,
u... -r - , .--
ture, and, leaning ever the edge
of the arch, called to the men on
the truck :
"What are you fellows up to?"'
Upon being told he cautioned
them not to put themselves to
so much trouble.
"If you run that thing up here
111 jump into the river. That's
what I'll do," and, shaking his
finger at the men who were pre
paring to raise the ladder, he
continued :
"Now, mind what I'm telling
you; I'll do it sure."
There was determination in
the man's eye, and Officer Chau
ning called to the men on the
truok to wait a while. The top
of th arch is nearly 150 feet
high and the officer was cons
vinced that a jump meant sure
death. Perhaps the man could
be induced to come down him
self, he reasoned, and one more
effort was made. After some
more persuasion Burns said :
"Well, I'll come down if you
take that thing away, but I don't
see why a fellow can't take a
sleep on a free bridge without
being bothered."
So Burns crawled down the
way he went up, and when he
reached the bottom he was
cheered by the crowd, which by
this time numbered several hun
dred. Officer Chauning took
Burns in charge and sent him
to the police station on a charge
of drunkenness.-Pittsburg Com

SOME FIERCE FIGHTING
The Indians Slaughter Mexi
cans and Americans.
St. IvOuis, Mo., August i. A
special to the Globe-Democrat
from Orliz, Mexico, says :
Any doubt that Yaquis are on
the warpath in earnest was dis
pelled to-day when news reached
here that several Americans and
Mexicans had been killed in
Pueblos, r town in the Yaqui
River Valley, east and southeast
of this station.
The courier who came in with
the news of the slaughter de
clares that he saw a desperate
fight at a point forty miles south
A.
east of Ortiz and that he has
positive evidence that J.F. Rem
ley, a merchant of Hermosillo,
and E. Miller, a photographer
in his employ, were among th
killed.
Remley was one of the best
known Americans in Senora.
The inhabitants of the towns
in and near the Yaqui Vallev
are in a state of terror.
General Torres, a commander
of the first ilitary zone, ..hich
includes Senora, Sinaloa, and
Lower California, who was in
the field with the Twelfth Regi
ment, is reported among the
slain.
No information is obtainable
Indians under arms, but if the
outbreak is of the proportions of
the war ended in 1897, the num
ber may be placed at between
2,000 and 4,000.
This outbreak is a surprise to
the State and army officials.
It is impossible to secure rc
curate figures as to the total
number killed to date, but the
estimate at fifty on each side is
not considered excessive.
SEVEN AMERICANS SLAIN.
Manila, August 1. 9:50 A.
M. vSunday's fight at Calamba
was a warm one. The insur
gents were unwilling to aban
don the place which is the key
to the lake road. General Hall,
hearing that General Malbar
was preparing to make an at
tack, sent Major Weisenberger
with three companies of the
Twenty-first infantry, three
roops of cavalry and one ot
Hamilton's guns to attack the
nsurgents. This detachment
bund a force of 1,000 rebels be
hind hastily made mtrench
ments. The rebels held their
fire until the contingent of the
Twenty-first regiment was with
in 300 yards when they fired a
volley. The Americans dropped
in the high grass out of sight
and returned the fire. Lieuten
ant Iyove, who was walking
erect ale ng the front of the men
was shot in the arm. An insur
gent officer, equally brave, stood
at the top of the trenches, dis
recting the fire of the insurgents
uatil he was killed, when the
Filipinos fled.
Dnriner the fighting on the
north side of the town, a small
-
body of insurgents attempted to
enter on the soutnside, out a
troop of cavalry repulsed them.
The total American loss at
Calamba was seven killed and
twenty wounded. SixteeH dead
insurgents have been found.
During the civil war, as well
as in our late war with Spain,
diarrhoea was one of the most
troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. In many
instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suSer from
it. Mr. David Taylor of Wind
Ridge, Green Co., Pa., is one of
these. He used Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and says he never
found anything that would give
him such quick relief. It is for

LUETGERT'S WIFE
LIVES.
Dramatic Appeal of Counsel at
Funeral of Accused Man.
Chicago, July 30 Thousands

funeral of Adolph D. Luetgert.
the wife niuiderer, who died at
Joliet penitentiary. Prominent
in the group about the bier at!
the Northwest Turner Hall
were Luetgert's three children
near a floml pillow, with the
inscription.- "Our

Words, ! am innoceut.' "
Lawrence Harmon, former
counsel for Luertgert, delivered
an address, at the close of which
he said: He is dead, but his wife
lives. I call upon Louisa
Luetgert, the missing woman
for whom he suffered without
ever uttering an unkind word
regarding her, to come forth and
remove the unmerited stain from
the name of the father and her
innocent children. Adolph
Luetgert's sudden death in the
penitentiary at Jolient on
Thursday last has brought to
light the fact that State's
Attorney C. S. Dincen has had
locked up in the vaults of the
Criminal Court building for two
wears a
statement made by
to a fellow prisoner
Luetgert
in the jail. It was sworn to by
the latter at the time before the
State's Attorney. From the
document it would appear that
Luetgert asked his wife to gc
with him to the sausage facto y
office on the night ot May 1, 1897
The quarrel that followed he
gave her a violet kick in the
side. This rendered her un
conscious. Luetgert expected
not. Seeing that she had o;a,
he disposed of the body in the
factory vat.
