HORRIBLE TRIPLE MURDER.
Sol Autery Kills His Father, Mother
and Son at Mulberry, Ark,

Mulberry, Feb. 3.-One Of the
most horrible crimes ever perpe-
trated in this place took place five
miles north Of this city last night.
Sol f. Autery, a farmer accom-
panied by his family, went early
this morning to visit his aged faith
er and mother living near here.
Shortly after the arrival Autery
became engaged in a religious ar
gument with the old folks and turn
ing demon, grasped an iron bar,
killed his aged father, mother and
ten-year old son, and seriously
wounded his wife aud three re-
naming children, two of whom are
not expected to live.
When the maniac started the
deadly work his wife and eldest
daughter made their escape, notI-
flying a near neighbor, but when
the neighbor arrived the mad man
was standing in the doorway swear
ing to kill anyone who dared en-.
ter.
Other neighbors came and found
the murderer raving maniac, with
his clothing on fire. He was over
powered and the sight that met
their eyes was appalling. Three
dead victims on the floor beaten,
burned and mangled almost beyond
recognition. He has been chained
all day, talking incoherently,
swearing the witches we're the
cause OF the act and that the last
lick was when he killed his boy, and
then he says he awoke.
Some doubt his insanity, but pro-
nounce the act the most diabolical
act ever committed.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Japan has
been removed as an elemement in
the opposition to the consumma-
tion of the annexation of the
Hawaiin islands by the United
States. This result has been at
tanned by the conclusion of an
agreement between our govern
ment and that of Japan as repre-
sented by Minister Torn-Hoshi,
which by practically setting the
status of the Japanese in Hawaii
removes the only substantial differ
ence that has existed between the
two governments. The Japanese
government for its part, announc-
ed some time ago that it no longer
cared to interpose any objections
to annexation of Hawaii based on
that principle, Since that time
the correspondence between Minis
ter Hoshi and the state depart
ment has been directed to a settle.

japanese in HAWAII and this last
point has now been adjusted, SC

ing independently, the agreement
being reduced to the shape of a
written memorandum.
The exact basis of this agree
ment has not yet been made pub
lie, but the general scope of it il
understood to be a recognition o.
rights with Japanese in Hawaii t.
claim equal rights with Japanese il
the United States after the treaty
with Japan proclaimed in 1895.

and the Spaniards have under three
successive commanders demonstra-

suppress it. The people of the Uni

needless sacrifice of life and proper

Old Tiofa Gold Mine in New Mexico
Discovered by Two Americans.


Ell Paso, Tex, April ga sensation
has been created here by the arrival to-
day from Chuichupa, a village in the
heart of the Sierra Madre mountains,
Mexico, of J. Newton Fowler with the
news of the discovery by himself and
Morris Singleton of the famous lost gold
mine of Tiofa.
The discovery was made on the even
ing of April 6, in a deep, narrow can
yon, through which runs the Rio Chico,
a tributary of the Aras river.
Mr.. Fowler while chasing wounded
deer came across the ruins of three
Arastas, and on investigating discover
ed a stone wall enclosing an opening.
shaft was displayed and at its mouth
were a number of crude old mining i'm
PIGMENTS.
Going down the shaft a few feet some
very rich specimens of gold were found.
If this is the old Tiofa mine, is firm
ly believed, Mr.. Fowler and his assOci-
ates will receive $4,000 in gold from the
Mexican government, a standing re-
ward it has offered for the discovery of
the mine.
The records of the mines were in the
hands of the priests, who have searched
the country for it, and the records state
that the shaft is walled in. More than
one man has lost his life hunting for
this mine.
In 1882 Pitsican, then chief engineer
of the Texas and Pacific road, was kill
ed by the ApacheS while he was search
ing for this mine.
]. Newton Fowler is from Brooklyn,
N. Y, where his father is a contractor
and builder, and Singleton is an old ex-
Texas ranger. The Tiofa mine was fab
when it's owners were driven out of
the country by the Indians in 1919.

NOBILITY TO FIGHT.
Young English Baronet Offers His
Services to Uncle Sam.

Washington, April ga strapping
young British nobleman has come from
England on the White Star liner Ger
mania to offer his services to Uncle
Sam in the fight for humanity against
Spain.
He is already an officer in one of her
maJesty's squadrons of cavalry, and he
only got leave of absence to run over
and take a hand in whipping some of
the insolence and barbarity out of
Spain.
Capt. Sir Bryan Leighton, Bart" is
the way this young English warrior is
set down in the passport list. He is 80
years old, and modestly declines to give
the name Of the regiment in which he
has served her majesty during the last
eight years.
But the genealogical and heraldic
dictionary of the peerage and baronetcy
of Great Britain and Ireland other
wise known as "Burke's Peerage," is
not so secretive, and it tells all about
the young baronet, giving two whole
pages to- description of the captain S
family tree, which began, so far as the
peerage goes, with Tihel Lathune, who
witnessed two grants to the Abbey of
Haughmond, county SalOp, in 1155 and
1866
