pDAMwEIL, w. VA, April 1.-THE de-
..iIs of the killing of Bill Moran, the terror
- tba Flat Top coal region, on last Thurs
q shows the fight to have been one or the
''ay t avcitinp ever known in this part of
ms co,-ntrv. Moran has for year been
tncror to the people along the border be-
+vyaen the two states, and for the past three
.anntbs he has been especially obnoxious,
dofving the authorities, running things
,I.attv much as he pleased. and declaring at
49, oDnortunity that he would never be
en alive He kept his word in that par
+icnIar. only giving up the ghost after he
Ia been pierced by doZeo bullets and
4gbting to the last, confronted by three
d Two weeks ago Moran got on a big
LINK shot into the depot several times,
oblioing the occupants to flee for their lives,
broFe out the windows, threw the switch
iamps into the river, and promised to kill
INV one offering to interfere with him. He
los LET alone for the time being, but the
abroad people determined to put an end to
srcb outIawry and sent for Detective Bald
win of the Eureka agency.
Baldwin swore out a warrant on March
q and. accompanied by Detectives Wallace
and Robinson, started in search of Moran.
Tbav found him in Tazewell county, Vir-
oinia. on Monday night last, and the FOL
'owing morning early the officers went to
he house where he was hiding. Baldwin
yyent to the door and asked for a drink of
yeter. and Wallace and Robinson coming
nm about the same time, Baldwin said:
f"He's inside. I'll make a break for him,
and you follow quick"
Baldwin at once sprang through the door,
into one of the two rooms, and, seeing a
man in a bed in one corner, supposed it
was Moran, and called to him to surrender
Inst then Moran appeared at the door of
the other room and fired two shots at Bald
win. one passing through his coat on line
with his heart, and the other striking him
in the arm near the wrist. By this time
Wallace and Robinson were in the house,
and the firing became general. Wallace
went down, with a shot in the mouth and
two in his arm. Baldwin caught another
bullet in his wounded arm, and Robinson
fred five shots at the outlaw, when his re-
volver was knocked from his hand by a
bullet which cut off one of his fingers. A
woman in the house also fired five shots at
Moran and then tainted.
Moran shot all the cartridges from his
two revolvers and then fell. He died in
two minutes, and when examined twelve
wounds were found on him, six being in
his body. The three detectives received
eight balls. Wallace is lying at the point
of death at a house near the scene of the
shooting, and Baldwin rode twenty miles
for doctor for him before he would have
his own wounds dressed. Moran never
spoke after the firing began. There is gen
sral satisfaction at his death.

DO WE SEE COLOR BETrERq
The Effect of Centuries of Civilization
Upon the Retina.
From Science

To test the theory frequently met with
that in the thirty centuries of civilization
the human retina has developed gradually
increasing color perception-the Homeric
man seeing chiefly the red end of the spec
trum, and blue coming in much later-M.
g. Pouchet compared the proportion of
color epithets in types of the literature of
various ages
He selected ~ very recent work Of NJ.
Guy de Maupassant on water (2) paul ct
Virgnnie,n as typical of the beginning of
the century, 81 books i. and vii. of ''Tele-
maque" for the same reason, a. chapters
xiv to xxi. of the second book of "Panta-
gruel.n taken at random from "Rabelais.n
and 81 a short romance, "PAne," attributed
to Lucian. Q) gave the following number
of color appellations: White 81 times,
black IA, gray 8, brown 4, all kinds of reds
% Including pure red 49,, yellow 5, green
6, varieties of blue Il GIN which pure blue
occurs II times, and violet3 times; in all 81
terms. Taking only the primary colors,
we have red 26, blue II, green 6, yellow 5,
and violet 8. ~, though more extended
work than Q), gave the following: White 10,
black Is, gray l, varieties of red IL, varie-
ties of blue Z, of green s, yellow l ; or red
II, green s, blue Z, yellow 2. 3 gives
black 2, white 2, red and shades 4, green 9; ;
one might add golden and reddening 2.
anu WOuiQ blluS nave u, ybllOW green
2. IA gives black /, white 8, red ard varie-
ties J, green 2. blue 1. o. gives but one
name, red.
The result is that writer's show a marked
tendency to describe red things, and this
tendency holds good for all times. If we
survey the ordinary color impressions to
which the retina is exposed we find first,
general brightness involving all colors-the
blue of the sky, the reds of the sunrise and
sunset, the whites and grays of clouds;
words expressive of these abound. Consid-
ering next colors in which whiteness does
not enter, we find that q true violet is ex-
tremely rare in nature. Blue, too, is little
fitted to be physiologically conspicuous as
1t represents itself in nature. Yellow is
more extended especially on flowers, but it
loses It's individuality in general white
ness.
There remain green and red. The reason
why red has acquired so striking an effect
Is that owing to the preponderance of green
the red is conspicuous by contrast. Again,
RED, as the color OF blood, as the symbol of
nre, as the color first and most sought after
IN dyes, would soon acquire normal and
Intellectual prominence that would lead to
us frequent mention. The proper conclu-
sion, then, is not that our ancestors were
unable to see blue and its allied shades, but
mat they followed the natural tendency to
describe what was prominent, and this COIN
cldes with the red
