TOOK FIVE LIVES.
Alleged Murderers Of a Saloon
keeper Fired on by a Mob
at Rouse, Colo.
NINE WERE UNDER ARREST.
Four of the Prisoners and the
Driver Are Said to Have
Been Killed.

PUEBLO, Colo, March, ia special
to The Chieftain from Walsenburg, q
small town So miles south OF Pueblo,
says: A mob in ambush fired on a
wagon containing nine Italians who are
charged with killing A. j. Nixon, q
saloonkeeper at Rouse, a coal mining
camp six miles from Walsenbarg, Sum
day last. Four Of the Italians and the
wagondriver were killed. The prison
ers, who had been lodged in the Wal
senburg jail, were taken to the cOroner's
inquest at Rouse during the afternoon.
At the conclusion of the session Of the
day the prisoners were loaded into the
wagon and started back to the Jail. At
Bear creek, a region where there il
much underbrush, half mile from
Walsenburg, the crack of dozen rifles,
presumably in the hands of miners,
rang out. -Four of the prisoners, whose
names cannot be learned on account Of
the excitement, were instantly killed.
Joe Welby, a young American boy, who
was driving the wagon, was also killed.
The officers returned the fire, which
lasted several minutes. The most in
tense excitement reigns.
To Avenge a Brutal Killing.
The work OF the mob was done to
avenge. peculiarly brutal crime. At Z
o'clock Monday morning two men en-
route to work at Rouse discovered A. j.
Hixon, proprietor Of SAIGON, in dy-
ing condition about an eighth Of mile
r,o,,, III Of I1,c,1nocc Mr.. Hiv0Y,
had been struck on the back IF the head
with a blunt weapon. He expired
within an hour. A trained bloodhound
was promptly put Oh the trail, and
within 10 minutes seized a table leg in
the rear Of saloon located half a mile
distant. On examination blood was
found on this leg. The dog then pro-
ceeded to the saloon door, and two men,
Lorenzo Danino and Jobatto Antonio,
who were discovered therein, were ar
rested. Two more men, Pete Rlszetta
and Frank Anrico, were arrested in a
cabin near by. Admissions of knowl-
edge of the murder were secured from
two of them Immediately on their arrest,
and later they ,,,
Divulged the Names
of seven others who were with them
and charged Lorenzo Danino with the
murder All were arrested. Threats
If lynching were generally INDUCED in
during the day and quite a number5of
men were scattered along the route to
Walsenburg, but it was thought theirs
was scarcely possibility that violence
would be attempted. Hixon was rather
popular with the American miners and
general Indignation prevails. He was an
Arkansan, late of Texas, was 80 or 81
years of age. He is supposed to have
returned from Walsenburg on horse
back about 10 p. m. and to have
been attacked unawares. The incen-
tive of the murder is a problem, as
Hixon was not of an aggressive or quar-
relsome disposition.

WASHINGTON, March l3.-As result
of the negotiations between Minister
Dun in Japan and Minister DENLY in
China the terms Of the peace about to
be concluded between Japan and China
are now known with little short Of ex-
actness. As understood in high official
circles they are as follows:
First-The treaty between Japan and
China has ceased to exist by reason of
the war, but on the renewal of peace
the new treaty will grant Japan extra
territorial jurisdiction over China, but
the latter country will surrender the
extra territorial jurisdiction she for.

Japan Gets Formosa.
Second-There will be no extension
of Japanese territory on the mainland
of Asia, but the island Of Formosa, a
Chinese possession lying off the coast,
will be permanently coded to Japan.
Third-The Japanese will by treaty
be granted the right to continue the &C.

Korea is a dependency of hers shall be
forever relinquished and Korea shall
henceforth be independent,
F4fth-The cash indemnity to be paid
by China will not exceed $3.50, 000,0 900 in

An Important Concession.
Probably the most important conces-
sion in the foregoing terms is Japan's
occupation of Port Arthur and Wei
Hai-Wei for term Of years. This will
assure continuation of peace for many
years, as China is in no condition to re.
new hostilities SO long as the gateway

guarded on either side by the great fort
resses which China grants to Japan fol
a term Of years.
The permanent annexation Of For
mosa to Japan will give a rich and fer.
tile country to the japanese. The pro-
duction of the island is very extensive.
