IT MAY PROVE FATAL
NEGRO YATES STRIKES Mr.. GEORGE
W. ATKINSON.
Mr.. Atkinson'S Skull Was Crushed, and the
Negro Has Skipped the County, Prob
ably to Norfolk.

A telephone message was received al
the Evening Times office yesterday from
the home of DIR. J. J. l.. McCullers, i'll
Swift Greek township, this county, telling
the story of what came near being fight
to the death near there about dark last
night
Mr.. George w. Atkinson, the Survey
or. was struck on the head by the butt
end of a gun. which was thrown by a
desperate negro
For some time Mr.. Atkinson has hao
the negro, Rufus Yates, employed on the
plantation and the darkey has most OF
the time served about the stables and
farm. Recently there arose some dis
pute about a settlement. the negro owing
Mr.. Atkinson a neat sum of money
Last night when Mr.. AtkisOn returned
home the negro was waiting in the yard
to the Atkinson home and had his hand
on an immense gun. The negro at once
engaged Mr.. Atkinson in a dispute over
the settlement, and used some unpleas-
ant language, which Mr.. Atkinson re-
scented.
AS Mr.. Atkinson turned to go into the
house the negro gripped his gun by the
barrel and was in the act of striking
when Mr.. Atkinson sprang toward the
house, placing himself out of reach of
the gun, as held in Yates hands. The
negro seeing that Mr. Atkinson was
about to escape threw the gun at his
victim, and by slight move of his
head, Atkinson'S life was saved.
1t was stated here this morning that
Mr.. Atkinson's skull was crushed, and
that he would undoubtedly die from the
effects of the blow. This, however, was
denied over the telephone, and it was
stated that while the injuries are quite
painful, DIR. McCullers does not consider
them dangerous.
Mr.. Atkinson is we'll known in Raj
eigh. He is a surveyor by profession,
and was a candidate for county survey
or at the last election.
The latest news from Swift Greek was
received this Afternoon, stating that the
negro Rufus Yates has skipped the coun-
ty and has probably gone to Norfolk.
The police force here are watching for
him, and the police of Norfolk and
Portsmouth have been wired his descrip-
ton, and requested to keep a sharp
lookout for him.
Mr. Atkinson is reported this after
noon as resting quietly.

buildings in the immediate vicinity,
in addition to the Horticultural Hall
are the New York, Kansas, Nebraska
and Illinois state buildings.
The Legislature of Minnesota made
no appropriation for either this build
ing or other representation of the
state at the Exposition. Early in the
current year the attention of Gov.
Clough was brought to the fact that
Minnesota was likely to be the only
state west of the Mississippi river
which would not be represented in
this Exposition, and he promptly ap-
pointed commission of representa-
tive citizens to devise ways and means
and to prepare exhibits. This COM
mission has succeeded in raising nearly
$50, 900 with which the building here
shown will be erected, and exhibits
made in the several departments of
the Exposition. Minnesota will be
represented in the agricultural build
ing with an agricultural and horti-
cultural display, in the Mines and
Mining building, with mining dis
play, and will have extensive exhibits
in the dairy department and IN the
apiary department.. A wool exhibit

The public is just beginning to ap-
preciate that the Trans Mississippi
and international Exposition is going
to far exceed in extent and complete
ness anything of the kind seen in this
country, with the single exception of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition
held in Chicago, in 1893. 1t will be
far more extensive than the Centen-
NAL Exposition in Philadelphia, or
the recent Exposition at Atlanta and
Nashville. The main group of build
ings constitutes one of the greatest
architectural successes seen in this
county, fairly rivaling in beauty the
White City displayed in Chicago.
While the fund raised for Minnesota's
representation is less than a fifth of
what was raised for the Worlds Col
umbian Exposition, the display is to
be made promise to be very effective
and there will be no more attractive
building than the one here shown.
Almost all of the material used in this
structure has been generously donated
by the lumbermen of Minnesota and
some OF the owners of stone quarries.

We illustrate with this the Mime
sofa Building at the Trans-Mississippi
& international Exposition. which is
to be held at Omaha, beginning with
June 1st, and continuing until Deem
Der 1st. The building is one of the
group of state buildings, occupying a
park district on an elevation of
ground, overlooking the valley of the
Missouri. In this group of state
buildings is included New York, Kan
sas, Missouri, Montana, Illinois,
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Colorado and
some other of the western states.
The Minnesota building differs ma
terially from all of these structures
and is likely to prove one Of the most
unique and attractive buildings on
the ground. Most of the state build
ings, as we'll as the Exposition build
ings proper, are built of staff, the
material so largely used in the crea-
tion Of the White City at Chicago in
1892. The Minnesota building is re-
signed to be an exposition in itself of
some Of the products Of the state. 1t
is to be built entirely of logs in the
Swiss Chalet style of architecture,
after plans made by Mcleod &
Lamoreaux Of Minneapolis. The
building has total length of IS feet

and width of AZ feet, with a YER
andah II feet wide all around it, max
ing the greatest length nearly loo
feet and the greatest width If feet.
The building is not designed for ex-
hibition purposes, but is to be used as
a rendezvous for the Minnesota Visi-
tors to the Exposition. On the first
floor there is spacious hallway 42x35
feet. In one end is located the
ladies' parlor. which is 30x20 feet and
which will be Hastily decorated and
furnished daintily. 1t will be a
favorite resting place for the Mime
sofa ladies who visit the Exposition,
The corresponding room at the other
end of the building is to be finished
in the style of a lumber camp, it's walls
hung with skins and decorated with
trophies of the chase. A wide stair
way leads to the second floor where
there are two corresponding rooms.
The second floor is surrounded also
by verandah, amply shaded by the
overhanging roof Of the main
building.
The location Of the Minnesota build.
ing is one of the best on the ground.

cultural building and is surrounded

LETTER FROM CAMP.
What the rlankato Boys are Do
ing at Camp.

Armin Jache has written his par.
ents a letter from Camp Thomas,
Chickamauga, Ca, dated June End,
from which we take the following
extracts:
Day before yesterday the 14th regi.
ment was put in line and each soldier
vaccinated. They have also received
new Springfield rifles, new canteens,
meat cans, etc. The band, it is
thought, will be equipped with short
swords and revolvers. Each company
in the regiment now has a wagon and
four mules to carry their baggage and
cooking utensils,
The rations we get do not vary much
from those received at Camp Ramsey,
but once in while we are cut down
to nothing but coffee and bread. With
all this, Oscar and never felt better
in our lives. There are few Man
kato boys in company D who are COM
planning and sick, but are still able to
be about.
Last night a great deal of cheering
was done all over Chickamauga Park
on account of few regiments being
told to prepare to move today for
Tampa.
John Jorgenson, who has been sick,
is so far recovered as to be able to as
sist in digging cellar this morning.
Berg and Arthur Lang, of the Man
kato Normal school, who were sick,
are now fully recovered.
Most of the states paid their militia
81. so per day and we received only SO
cents. The boys in the Minnesota
regiments feel badly over this and ex.
pect to get the balance.
A few days ago, the 18th regiment
lost it's first man by death. He had
not been feeling well before he came.
1t is thought that he became over
heated in the march to camp and this
gave him setback.
Last week, 5000 soldiers of the 49,
900 encamped went out for inspection
drill, and we were among them. 1t
was the grandest sight ever saw, be.
cause we were in an open field and
could look over the whole body OF
soldiers.
