A FIGHTING pARsoN.

Tho Rev. Frederick Seckerson Objects to
Being Robbed aud Shoots Burglar.
BRooKIYS, Nov. 13.-The Rev. Fred
erick @. seckerson, the assistant pastor
Of the Clinton Avenue Congregational
church, had thrilling experience with
a burglar this morning and narrowly
escaped with his lite. He was aroused
from his sleep by a slight noise, and
saw man stealthily moving about in
the darkness.
The clergyman picked up q revolver,
which lay conveniently at hand on his
dressing case, and sprang to the floor.
The burglar made lunge at him with
a bowie knife, the blade puncturing the
heshy part Of his arm, intlicting an ugly
wound. The men grappled and had a
hand.to-hand struggle for life. The
clergyman managed to shoot the man,
who released his grasp and staggered
toward the open window, through
which he made his escape. The clergy
man fred a second shot at him as he
retreated, The police later found
trail OF blood where the burglar escaped
but have not yet captured him. The
clergyman's wound, although painful, r.
ia not serious.

The Denver Murdsrer's Latest victim Was
q Jnpnnese Girl.

h5hpnueEe Girl,
DENVER, Col, Nov. l3-"Stranglsrs
Row" was the scene Of another murder
early to-day. About / :l5 a. NJ, No. 1875
Market street was visited by q Gend
whose strange hobby is to choke women
to death, aud when he left the place.
Kiku 0yama, a Japanese girl who ran
the place, was corpse with the marks
Of the strangers work upon her throat.
This mornings murder was committed
in the same row OF houses in which
Lena Taper and Marie Contasoit were
strangled. The mode Of her death. too,
was exactly similar. After partially
choking her, the Job was completed by
tying towel around her neck and
tightening the moose until life lett her
body.
The only difference between Kiku
Oyama's murder and the strangers
other jobs, is that she was discovered
while her pulse was still beating and
breath still in her lungs. Kiku Oyama
was "a years old, and came from Japan
to Chicago with the racial representa-
tives OF her native land to the Columbian
exposition. There she made the ac-
quaintance Of Imi Oyama and together
they came TO Denver last November.
He was the first person to enter the
girls room after her death.
In the room where the murdered
woman was found there was every
indication that a struggle had taken
place. A Turkish bath towel had been
used to choke the woman and there was
another OF similar kind lying upon g
dressing table. The first towel was
twisted into rope and there Is evidence
that the victim was thrown upon her
back upon the bed after the towel had
been placed about her neck and then
deliberately garroted.
Imi Oyama and several other Japan.
csc have been arrested on suspicion,
but so far as known not the slightest
evidence has been discovered to impli-
cate them in the crime. The excite

part Of the city where the murders by
strangulation have occurred within a
few weeks, rivals that produced by the
crimes Of Jack the Ripper" in London

Sequel to the snlinn Rink Robbery.

sALINA, KAs., Nov. lS.-The bank
robber who was shot here yesterday by
his pals, after lie had been grievously
wounded by the cashier OF the bank
robbed, was found to have on his person
Sl,5O0 OF the booty. A letter was also
found on him addressed to Stephen
Mckee, 902 Hickory street, st. Joseph,
Mo. The gang was supposed to have
been the Same which robbed the Fort
Scott bank in September. Their haunts
are in tho Blue Hills. in Osborne coun-
ty, and from yesterdays occurrence and
the arrest Of u member OF the band at
Leayenworth last week it is believed
enough information will BIO gained to
insure the capture Of tho entire band.

WASHINGTON, Noa 1S.-There is no
