Not Much Land Rented,
Major G. W. Harper, agent at

of land will be taken this fall. Only
the advance in wheat will cause the
land to be rented.

father, William Henderson, o
subsequently cut off the negi-.'i
ears. Smith was seized and held
while one of the crowd pounded his
fingers, joint by joint, one finger at
a time, until the hand was a shape
less mass of bloody jelly. This
was because in the struggle to sub
due Miss Henderson he had bitten
off one of her fingers. Each man
then took a turn at shooting at
him until when he died he must
have had four or five pounds of
lead in him. He was literally shot
to pieces, and the bloody pulp,
which only an hour before had
been Smith, was thrown '' into a
hastily prepared pit of brush wood
and burned until not a scrap of
bone remained.
