It is to be known as "the corporate town company of Knoxville, Tenn." It has for its object the foundation of great manufacturing city in the healthy highlands of east Tennessee, which arc wealthy in timber, iron, coal and other mineral and agriuultural deposits suf ficient to support large industrial pop ulations. The capital stock Is $10.- 000,000, shares $100, distributed ' in mall holdings throughout the entire country. Of this amount $200,000 are already subscribed and paid in. The company wilt control millions for pur poses of development, such as building and owning street railroads.gas works, furpaces.eloctrlo lights and telephones, homes for artisans of every description. The history of the Mlddlesborough town company may be taken as illustrative of the future possibility of this new ven ture on such a large bonis. The town of Mlddleshorough two voart ago had ' only fifty inhabitants and four houses. It now bas 7,oou innatuiants ana tne company owns property. to the value of millions. The stock of tbe Middies borough company sold two years ago in the English market at 6 per share. It now commands 25.

D., March 24 Newt has just reached Dead wood that C. C. Hull, a farmer, white hunting brush rabbits at Hay creek on J. W. Cald well's ranch six miles west of ' Minne aula, Butte county, a few days -ago, found the head of a girl apparently about fifteen years of age. The ghastly relic of a foul crime had been wrapped in bed ticking and partially buried be neath the loose dirt. The bead was taken into Minnesula and, though well preserved, has not yet been Identified. Back of the left ear is a fracture about the size of a man's thumb, from which a crack extends nearly to where the bead joined the body. A murder has evidently been committed, but who the victim is and who tbe murderer is, Is yet a mystery. A theory is gaining ground that the crime was committed elsewhere and the head taken to Hay creek, a dismal and not much fre quented place, in the hope that it would never bo found, and that whenever the headless trunk might be discovered identification would be impossible. There are no clues, but the entire Block Hills is excited and all the ma chinery of the law will be invoked to ferret out and punish the murderer. , The Indian Blunderers. Sioux Falls, March 24 The Unit ed States grand jury of this dittrlct, during its late session at Deadwood, indicted two Sioux Indians, Plenty Horses and Jxjuvcs-Ills-Wouian, for tho murder of Lieutenant Casey, to be tried at Sioux Falls April 10.

Captain Somers asserts that he la rt:.dy to surrender the prisoners providing that the white men who tnurdored a loyal Ind Inn known aa Few Tails in Meade county be brought to justice.
