A KILLING AT WEIR CITY.
Chas. Elliott Kills Negro Coal Timer and
Comes Near Being Lynched.

Chas. Elliott Kills a Negro Coal Timer and
Comes Near Being Lynched.
On Monday morning at Weir City
about 7:20 O'clock IL tragedy occurred
which resulted in the killing Of a
negro coal miner by white man
named Chas. Elliott. 1t seems that
the miner. whose name we have not
learned. went down in shaft No. 3 to
90 tn work when he was confronted
by Elliott, who was pit boss of that
shaft, and told that he could not 90
to work as he tl:lliott) had orders to
discharge him. The negro declared
that he would go to work and told
Elliott that he did not recognize
his authority. a war of words en-
sued, wllereupon the negro struck
at Elliott with his pick. Elliott es-
capped the blow by lodging and the
pick few out OF the negroes hands.
He started 10 pick ii up again, when
Elliott drew his revolver and plac-
ing il against the Negroes left breast
fired. the bullet passing through the
negroes heart. After he had fallen
Elliott shot him in the mouth. The
news of the killing spread rapidly
through the mines and in few min
utes about +W negroes had armed
themselves and started on hunt
for Elliott, who by this time had
made his escape. Not finding Eli
oft they decided to go to Scammon.
where he lived, and kill his family.
Word was sent to Scammon and in
81 few moments every man and boy
in that place was armed and ready
to meet the negroes. They came,
but in this case it was like the bat
tie of squirt; nobody was killed and
nobody was hurt" The negroes
then returned to Weir City where
they were met by Capt. Mike G..
Clary, who had been sent for. Clary
was in Joplin when telegram
reached him but went to Weir as
quickly as possible. BY the time he
arrived the excitement of the ne
groes had cooled considerably, but
he did good work by showing them
where they were wrong and in d
little while they were back at work.
Elliott went TO Girard and gave
himself up and was aftcrward taken
to the Columbus jail. Had he not
left the scene of trouble when he
did he would surely have been
killed.
The Southern negroes who were
shipped in to take the place of the
strikers. and there are about 1000 of
them at and near Weir City. are
very ignorant set of people aud
have no better sense than to fight
and shed blood without the least
provocation but it is believed that
within few months they will make
as good citizens as the negroes who
have been raised in this section.
If Elliott killed the negro without
cause as some claim. he should be
severely punished, but if he found
il necessary to take life to save his
own he should he acquitted. The
evidence will probably show who
was wrong in the matter

Kansas City Journal.
In quiet, but none the less ener-
getic manner, the Memphis people
have for the past three years been
pushing the work of practically re-
building their main line of road
between Kansas City and Memphis.
With the close of the present month
the work will be practically COM
pleted, and the permanent roadway
is now beyond doubt in condition to
compare favorably with the older
lines in the East. The ditching and
entertainments have all been brought
to exact standard, as laid before

One of sthe most dastardly
crimes which has as yet been re-
corded in this city. and which,
without doubt, had but one in
tent, was the wilful burning,
shortly after midnight on last
Saturday, of the grand stand and
public buildings situated on the
old Recreation grounds, and
which has for sometime past been
used for the storage place of cricki-
ting paraphernalia belonging to
the Honolulu Cricket Club and
the cricket players, officers and
men, of II. NJ. b. Champion.
A careful inquiry by an HoLo-
MUA reporter into the circum-
stances surrounding the affair has
resulted in developing the
following facts. which the public
by either intended oversight or
lack of knowledge of the morn
ing newspaper, have been kept in
ignorance.
1t has been we'll known, in
this community that the Recre-
alton grounds has been used,
almost entirely, since the advent
of the Champion in port. for
