KIOTOUS NEGRO SOLDIERS
The Third North Carolina Negro
Troops Threaten to Raid and Destroy
the City of Macon

Mason, Ga, November 29.-Rumor
has been rife in the city tonight that
the negro soldiers of the Third North
Carolina regiment, stationed here, in
tended to break out of camp and de-
stroy the city, and much uneasiness
has been felt both by citizens and
soldiers.
The excitement among the negro
soldiers was caused by the shooting
of Private Will Kempin, of Company
F, Third North Carolina, by W. S.
Simmons, proprietor of a saloon. KEN
pin is though to be fatally wounded.
He went to Simmons bar and called
for a drink. On being told that the bar
was for white people only, he became
enraged and finally abused a brother
of the proprietor, who struck him with
a bottle. Kempin went away, but
shortly afterward returned with four
or five other negro soldiers and start
ed towards young Simmons, calling a
vile name. w. S. Simmons, seeing his
brother in peril, shot Kempin in the
breast. The other negroes ran off.
Simmons is in Jail.

Ginett.A Liabilities

Kansas City, Mo-, November %
The liabilities of Grant c.. Gillet, the
absconding Kansas City cattle ~plunger,
continue to grow, and the belief that
he had prepared for the crash months
ahead becomes stronger. "Gillet must
have taken hundreds Of thousands with
him." said a prominent member of one
of the caught commission firms today.
1T was at first supposed that, finding
himself in straits for the first time,
Gillet had simply thrown up everything
and left penniless. But we know now
that he owed ST. 500, 900 and we cannot
find where he invested or spent more
than half that sum"
There is a scramble at the stock
yards for every trainlOad of Gillet's
cattle shipped in from his Woodbine
ranch.
