Much Bitter Feeling in 81. Louis Caused
by - Fight on A. p. A.
ST. LOUIS. Aug. IA case has been
reported to the police here in which il is
shown that in the i'll feeling created here
by the A P. A movement, the opponents
Of the order are resorting even TO
criminal means to secure the records
of that order. In this instance
some time between 9 a. N. and 4 p N.
yesterday A. d. Patrick's residence was
entered during the absence Of the family
and the books Of council No. 9, A. p. A
stolen.
Patrick's son Albert is secretary of the
council and the purloined books were in
his custody. The theft was evidently
premeditated and carefully planned as
nothing was taken but the books. SO that
the crime must have been committed for
the sole purpose of stealing private rec
ords.
This theft of the A. P. A. books. fol-
lowing as it does right upon the heels of
a raid upon an A P. A. meeting place
and the hold up of another secretary,
makes it look as if a systematic effort
were being made to get the names Of
every body in the order here, and that
the parties after them are willing to re-
sort TO almost any means to accomplish
their end

no ASSASSINATE DUPUY.
Another French AnarchIstic Plot is DIs-
covered by Dstectives-

covered by Detectives
PARIS, Aug. II. According to lie
Journal, a plot to assassinate Premier
Dupuy has been discovered, in the Yer
net-les- Bains, not far from the Spanish
border.
He is accompanied by the three de-
tectives, who are supposed to have dis
covered the plot through the presence Of
several militant anarchists in the neigh
borhoOd.
The anarchists, says the Journal, had
been warned of their danger the night
before the police expected to arrest
them. and fed to Spain.
The main plot, it is alleged. was hatch
ed at Barcelona by Spanish and French
anarchists. Three men were designated
by lot to execute it. They were to cross
the border about the middle of August
and we're to assassinate the premier dur
ing his absence from Paris.
The bomb which was to be used, was
made in Spain, although it IS known that
the Barcelona anarchists did the work.
The police in Barcelona deny that there
is an anarchist labratory in that city and
say that the bomb must have been Sc
cured elsewhere.
The plot was discovered after the three
anarchist agents had started for France.

PRETORIA, South Africa, Aug. IL
The rebellion of the Kaffirs is assuming
alarming proportions and the efforts of

Emboldened by their success, the
Katiirs pursued the retreating troopers
and made 4 attack upon the main col
umn Of the BOer forces. The kathrs
were driven back by the advance Of the
column.
From the Boer settlement along the
Letaba river come reports of severe fight
ing between isolated parties Of retreat
ing Beers and the kafirs, who are burn
ing BOer homes all along the river. The
Boers are fleeing before the kathr adj
vance, taking with them all their pOrta-
bic property but large quantities of pro
Visions and cattle have necessarily fallen
into the hands of the Kaffirs. The latter
have murdered number of Beers and
their wives and children and the fiercest
feelings of the Beers have been aroused
against the rebelliOus natives.
In the OOQlpansDerg district QeVlllsu
Outrages have been committed and large
mum bers of women and children have
been killed and large amount Of prop
erty destroyed.
In all the disturbed districts the mail
and passenger coaches have been stop
ped, passengers killed and the coaches
looted and destroyed and the mules stOl-
en-.
The Murchison road is entirely closed
The Kaffirs are reported to have erected
a strong barricade across it at a point
where it passed between two hills aud
they are said to have prepared to defend
this point vigorously.
The government Is reinforcing its col
umns Of troops as rapidly as possible and
it is expected that an advance in force
will be made upon the KafIirs today or
tomorrow.

ATCHIsON, Aug. 17.-Lute Meade and
Edward Deboldt, from Missouri, were re-
Gently at Highland station IN search of

pot. A package of money was missed

against Meade and Deboldt The money
was not found, but Highland station peo-
pie, believing that they had concealed
the money, got u rope and proceeded to
daily them at the end of it ia the hope of
frightening them into a confession.
Meade was drawn up twenty-One
times and let down upon each occasion in
tino to save his life. The flesh about his
neck was badly torn by the rope. When
the mob was satisfied they could not
force confession from them, or that
they We're Innocent, they released them
and ordered them out Of town at o'clock
IN the morning after an entire night of
torture. Meade and DebOldt have caused
four arrests. and the men are having a
hearing at Troy.
