 Dr. Mason, the girls father was next put on the witness stand. He also gave some very damaging eyi- denee against Duncan. He said he had asked Duncan about the matter and Duncan admitted having had improper reIatioos with his daugh- ter. Dr. Mason then left him, pro- cured his gun and shot Duncan through the neck. The wound was a slight one and Duncan soon recov- cred.
 Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon pr. Mason was still on the witness stand.
 The arrest and trial of Duncan is the result of Dr. Mason shooting and slightly injuring him few weeks ago at Kearney.
 The case promises to be one of the most interesting and sensational that has ever been tried ID Jefferson county. Both Mir. Duncan and Dr.. Mason stand high in the community in which they live and the result is awaited with much anxiety by their friends.
 It is stated tbat there are oyer 200 witnesses in the case, the num- Der being equally divided.
 Hundreds of visitors from Kear- ney and the surrounding towns are here today to attend the trial Be- sides their presence, the court room is partly filed with Pine Blufiant. Many attorneys are spectators and the case will be watched with much interest by them.

from Negros are most encouraging, the
inhabitants are enthusiastic, and quiet
prevails throughout the island. Colonel

to Luzon and the occupation of the Pasig

SLAUGHTERED IN PRISON.
Nine Captive Negroes Shot Down by
a White Mob.

Palmetto, Ca, March l7.-Four dead
negroes lie in Johnson's warehouse. Be
side them, groaning in agony, are five of
their race. All are victims of an assault
made by the white men Of this neighbor-
hood at an early hour yesterday morning.
The negroes, who were shot down while
begging for mercy, lie where they fell, on
the blood soaked floor of the improvised
Jail, where they were held on the charge
Of arson.
Dead-Bud Cotton, Henry Bingham,
Tip Hotson, Ed Brown.
Dying-Joh Bigby.
Mounded-Clem Watt, abdomen; Geo.
Taylor, thigh; Isham Brown. body; John
Janlson, arm.
Citizens are patrolling the main street
of the town and dispensing an occasional
group of muttering negroes, who seem de-
ternlned to get some form OF revenge for
the slaughter of four OF their race.
The mob was composed of $50 men.
Where they came from is a mystery, so
far as the people of the town know. That
some of the people OF Palmetto-but not
the better class-were in the mob goes
without saying. Every face was masked,
and when the warehouse was reached the
special guard of five men were covered
without word.
Two fires OF incendiary origin have oc-
CURED here this year, one on February %
and the other five days later. Fourteen
business houses in all were destroyed.
Nine negroes were arrested on suspicion
and taken to Johnson's warehouse to
await preliminary trial, which was to have
taken place yesterday morning. Wednes.

said to have written confession of the
