FIVE ARE DEAD.
A Young Girl Was the Innocent
Cause of a Kentucky Tragedy.

A party of White Caps attacked the resi-
dence of George Culp several nights ago at
Owingsville KY. AS a result James AMI
George Howard were instantly killed. half
dozen others woun led, one OF whom, George
Jones, has since died.
A sister OF che Towards was Ill and the
shock killed her. Next day infant to
which she gave birth few minutes prior to
her death also diel, maaing five deaths in
all. 1t was quite certain one or two more
of the wounded would die.
A young girl named De la Carpenter was
the innocent cause Of the tragedy. Mr.. See
had adopted the girl. The Culps and Re
becca Carpenter and their confederates were
incensed at this, as was also Cynthia Jones,
who, it is claimed, said she had bought the
girl and was to pay $3.50 for her.
Rebecca Carpenter declared she would
kill the girl if She remained with the See
family. There was a great deal OF excite
ment over the matter and somebody served a
White Cap notice on the Culps ordering them
to leave in thirty days under penalty OF
death.
The Culps remained and the neighborhood
talked with more freedom than prudence.
So matters continued until the fatal cul-
mination Some tune ago Rebecca Carpen-
ter an aunt of the girl came to the house of
Prosner See and asked him to take the girl
and keep her, as the Carpenters were not
able. See promised to take the girl on trial.
Not long after this Molie Culp, Susie
Culps and Rebecca Carpenter went to Sees
house in the absence Of the family, stole the
girl and secreted her at the house of George
Culp.
It came to the ears OF Mr.. See that the
persons who had the girl in charge intended
to take her to Mount Sterling, KY. and put
her in the hands of Cynthia Jones, notor1-
GUS character.
In the mean time the girl ran away from
the Culps, came to the house of See and
piteously begged him to keep her. as she said
she was afraid of her people.
This led to the attack on Culp's house and
the deaths OF five or more persons

Color Of the Eye and Workmanship.

"The idea that the color Of the eye
has anything to do with expert marks
manship Is fallacy," said Captain 81.
C. Broun, who came over with the
Twenty-third New York Regiment rifle
team, to shoot against the Washington
BOYS at Fort Myer. He was talking
with reporter at the Ebbitt, and the
question came up as to whether men
with light or dark eyes made the best
shots. ut happens" he continued,
ssthat nearly all my men are dark-eyed,
and twice this year we have won the
honors-in the State shoot at Creedmoor
and the Second Brigade's prize. There
is popular notion that the blue or gray
eyed men are the finest marksmen, but
there is no invariable rule. Some ct our
men who are first-rate shots use glasses
for long distance practice, but the ques-
ton of color has nothing TO do with
sight. - Washington Post.

The Government Experimenters JOY
full Over Their Success

The Government rain makers are very
joyful over their success at San Diego, Texas.
The bombardment was on an elaborate scale
and continued from O'Clock in the after
noon until midnight Seventeen large balloons
were filled with the terrible explosive gas and
1900 charges of dynamite and rackarock
prepared. In addition to this there were
$50 charges Of the twelve-pound cannon, and
100 twenty-one-pound bombs for the mortar
batteries. The moon shone brightly during
the night but at 8 a. N. clouds began to APP
pear. At o'clock the sky above was full
of heavy clouds, but not a drop of rain had
fallen. Then a balloon was sent up and
exploded right in the clouds and
the mortar battery began shooting butts in
rapid succession. In two minutes after the
balloon exploded the rain came down, and
IN three minutes more it was falling in
sheets. At sunrise dry norther came, and
in a short time the storm clouds had been
blown to shreds One-half an inch fell.

There was no doubt of that, and it
was proper that they should meet

Class legislation, he continued. had Eeen
one potent cause of the depression of
agricultural interests. This deprcs

it was time now that the farmer was
given recognition in the councils of the

There were two great questions, the
proper solution Of which would tend to
ameliorate the farmers condition. Cne
was the improvement Of the great water
courses, which would furnish cheap
transportation for arm products. The
Missouri River could be improved at a
cost of $50, 100000. The other question
was the Improvement OF the country

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY,

OF the 461 convicts released by the
East Tennessee miners 2O3 have been
captured. OF those at large forty are
in Memphis and will likely remain there
so far as the officers are concerned.
Two were arrested and lodged in Jail.
The State only pays a reward OF $25 for
the return of each convict. Car fare
and other expenses make the cost from
Memphis greater than that amount,
and unless the governor increases the
reward the two convicts will be released
and the others will not be molested.

which John Henry, a farmer, his wife and
two children were riding, ran away
down Chillhowie Mountain, near Knox

BIG FooT,s BAND RESTLESS.
Tho Remnant OF the Iostiles Go Visiting
without Leave,


SPECIAL INDIAN ALLoTTING AGENT
mexican has just returned from a trip
to the old camping grounds of Big
Eoot's band of Indians which partici-
pated in the late Indian massacre. His
object in going there was to allot the
remnant of this once large bands land
in sevcralty upon the coded lands.
There remains about fifty families of the
band and they are under Chief kcd
Cloud. The day before the all, t ing
agent arrived the band had sold out all
their stock and took their departure.
Their sudden departure has created
quite a commotion, as the Indians are
not permitted to leave an agency with
oHt getting a permit from the agent.
Zig foot's band did not get Il permit.
but skipped out, presumably for Pine
Ridge agency. A half dozen Indian
policemen were sent after them and
overlook them at a ranch about half
way between their old home and Pine
Ridge. They endcaVored to persuade
them to return back to the agency with
them. This they refused to do and the
Indian policemen lnported to the agent.
When Mcl<ean lyts !. lar.;c force of In
dian policemen HAD been detailed to
b!ims, them back at amy hazard. The
ooiect of these Indians in going back to
line Ridge is not known, but must be
pure "cussedness," as they cannot draw
rations there and they might have Sc
cured the agents permission to pay a
visit if they desired. The proceeds
from the sale of their stock will last
them for some time. 1t is not supposed
that they premeditate another uprising,
but are of naturally mean disposition
and wanted to break the government
rules

thusasm over the recent annual cele-
bration of the execution of Parsons,

Haymarllct tragedy. The police under
orders of Mayor Washburne have made
several descents on their meetings and
made them display the United States
flag along with their red bunting. All
who resist or carry weapons are arrest
ed. Both Mayor Washburne and Chief
McClaughrey advance the belief that
the object of the meetings was not to
commit any direct acts of violence but
to keep up the anarchistic agitation to
convince foreigners that Chicago will
not be safe place to come to in the
worlds fair year. Mayor Washburne
said these incendiary utterances must
be stopped, for they are likely to do
Chicago incalculable iniury-giving the
city bad reputation and possibly keep
ing millions of capital away, besides
seriously damaging the worlds fair
The Mayor said his policy will be to
suppress with Il firm hand all meetings
held to advocate anarchistic principles

the conclusion he has drawn. They all
hate Chicago and cry for revenge on it
because of the execution of their leaders
