tal crimes ever committed in this
county occurred late on Saturday
evening. Max Breuner, a young
German farmer who lived between
Burton and Greenvine, about four
miles from the former place, went
to Burton with a bale of cotton,
which he sold and pocketed the pro-
ceeds—about fifty dollars. While
in Burton he exchanged his old
wagon for a new one, but did not
pay for it, intending to pay off, his
cotton-pickers with the proceeds of
his sale and to pay for the wagon
when he sold some more cotton. He
started home late in the evening,
and when within a mile of his house
was shot by some one from ambush
with a rifle. Two balls entered his
cheat, one piercing his heart, and a
third paased through his bowels.
People living in the neighborhood
heard the shots, and a_f$sr minutes
later when. the team passed by the
first house on the road without a
driver, and with fajood on the wagon
it was at once surmisefl that a mur-
der had been, committed and a vigor-
ous search vraa >ingjtitf te4' Ji was
then after du«k, and the dead body
of Brenuar was not found until 3
o'clock Sunday mdtjmg. It was
found aboHt one hundrttayards away
from theroadin a patch of tall weeds
with one of the pockets turned and
the money which he had derived
from the sole of cotton missing.
Breuner was a sober, indmatroua
young man, had been married only a
little over a year and left a young
baby only three days old. Circum-
stances point unerringly to one Jim
Williams, a negro who was engaged
in picking cotton for him, as the
murderer. Williams was the owner
of a repeating rifle, according to his
own statement, that would shoot
twelve times, and an empty cart-
ridge shell was found by the dead
body. The tracks of a man leading
from she cotton patch, where Wil-
liams was engaged in picking cotton
when the deceased started to
Burton, to a point near where the
dead body was found, were plainly
traced and measured ten inches,
corresponding exactly with the
negro's tracks. The deceased owed
Williams $3 for picking cotton, but
he did not show up at night to get
paid off or to have his day's picking
weighed. At a late hour that night
he attended a negro ball on the Har-
ris farm within two miles of the
murder and gambled at a game of
cards. One of the negroes who
was present says that he had plenty
of money. As soon as the murder
was discovered the officers set to
work to hunt down the murderer
and suspicion naturally pointed to
Williams, whose whereabouts at
this writing have not been discover-
ed. He was a stranger in the neigh-
borhood, but it is learned that he
until recently worked on the rail-
road near wis oity, and he was
thought to be in hiding here. Con-
" " of Bur-
day even
uty Sheriff
engaged in a
is beli
ing and he and
Teague are at present
search for the negro. It is believed
that Williams intended to murder
Mr Breuner one week ago last Sat-
urday, when he had sold two bales
of cotton and was returning home.
The negro after parleying a while
wanted to borrow a pistol which
Breuner had lying on the seat of
his wagon. The request was re-
fused, and then the negro wanted to
"just look at it," which request was
also refused.

W D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind:, testi
ties: "I can recommend Electric Bitters as
the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has
given relief in every case. One man took
six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism ol
two years' standing." Abraham Hare, drug-
gist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best sell-

have added their testimony, so that the ver-
dict is unanimoms that Electric Bitters do

As we read Mr. Hawkers testi-
monlals from Governors, Senators,
Legislators, men of scienoe and
distinguished citizens throughout
the United States, who testified to
having had their eyes improved,
and sometimes restored, by the
nse of his celebrated glasses, we
realize that a glass that will re-
flect such brilliancy of light as to
enable the wearer to see as in
youth and to read by candle or
other artificial light, surely is to
be desired by all spectacle wearers.
