A Great Day At Neyles, S. c.

Mr.. EDITOR = Please allow me
space in yoar valuable columns to state
that our annual protracted meeting
closed on last Sabbath, Dec 3rd, with
very encouraging result Twenty
persons came forward confessing allegi-
ance to our common Redeemer. This of
course was very encouraging to the pas
tor and congregation of Aimwell
church.
One of the most interesting feature
Of the whole affair, was the presence of
Rev. George L. billiard, d. D. He
preached a whole soul sermon on Sat
urday and everybody was much up
lifted. Sunday DR.. billiard preached,
| think, one of the most interesting
sermons | ever heard We hope he
will come again. At the conclusion
Of the sermon, the Lords supper was
administered The collection was very
good. We are endeavoring to 60 for

TEN MEN KILLED ON THE STRIP
LONG LIST OF MURDERS ON THIS
BLOODY FIGHTING GROUND.
Not Believed That Any of the Par
ties to the ARRAY of July a Have
Been Apprehended.
Especial to The IIerald.)

Price, Utah, July l0.-Indian Agent
Myton at White Rocks agency is maxi
ing a thorough investigation as to the
killing which occurred at or near the
notorious strip on the night Of July 4,
when a Uintah Ute was killed outright.
another badly beaten up, and who may
yet die. and the third shot through the
calf OF the leg as the result of too much
bad whisky.
The Indians who bought the whisky
will be proceeded against the same as
the men who sold it.
Parties in from there on the stage
tonight say details of the killing are
hard to get, as the keepers of the strip
saloon and those directly concerned in
the row have flown the country. Fort
Duchesne is reached by telegraph, but
the signal sergeant in charge there is
not allowed to give out any infOrma-
ton. while the telephone line to White
Rocks is not in repair.
Agent Myton has asked the United
States marshal at Salt Lake to aid him
in running down the liquor men. and
it is likely that he will send deputies
across the country to capture them,
but they are now well into the hills
unless they have been overtaken by
the sheriff's posse of Uintah county.
The commanding officer. Captain
Guilfoyle, at Fort Duchesne sent a de-
tail of men to the scene as soon as he
heard of the killing. but the men Rad
flown. This makes the tenth man
killed at the strip since whisky has
been permitted TO be sold there. At
least as many more have served time
in Jail for trafficking with the Indians,
besides hundreds of cutting and shoot
ing scrapes that have been the result
of drunken debauches. The list Of
killed heretofore does not include In
dams who have bit the dust.

RELIEVING FLOOD SUFFERERS
GOV. SAYRES AND HIS ASSIST

More Appeals For Aid From Devas-
tated Districts In Texas Are Com
ing In-Seed Corn Needed.

Austin, Tex, July Ex-Governor Say
spent the entire day working on be-
half of the flood sufferers swarming up
and down the BraZOs river bottoms.
Reports from the stricken district are
to the effect that while the waters are
rapidly receding, the condition of the
food sufferers is improving very little.
The governor received official reports
from Velasco, the Southernmost point,
that everything was in fairly good con-
dition there with twenty-five feet of
water prevailing. He has received a
telegram from the citizens of Hearne
stating that they had fought as long as
they could and would now have to ask
public aid; that all the property of the
people of that section had been laid
waste: they were starving and home
less, and asked for both money. food
and clothing. Their wants will be sup
piled at once.
County Judge Bell. at Bellville, wired
that there were 1000 sufferers in the
counties of Mills creek and 1000 in the
creek bottom in absolute need. From
numerous other portions of the flooded
districts similar reports came pouring
in. and their requests for aid were at
once referred to the various relief sta

district.
Governor Saver stated today to an
Associated Press correspondent that the
effort on the part of some to belittle the
damage attendant upon this flood was
actuated by motives that he could not
understand: that during his long resi-
dence in Texas he had never seen Il
worse calamity befall its people. and
from reports he had at his disposal he
was led to believe the list of suffering
would be very large.

ately. this accident had no more serious
result.
The people who have thus been Ill
verted from their route to the educa-
tional convention at Los Angeles Will
proceed to that city tomorrow. They
are all anxious for their eastern friends
and relatives to know that all are well
and in good spirits, Notwithstanding
their unpleasant experiences Most of
them, however. saved little or nothing
from the wreck and will in some cases
be obliged to almost entirely replenish
their Wardrobes. No one knows just
how the accident occurred, as nearly
all We're asleep at the time.
The Southern Pacific officials state
that the special which ran into their
freight train was six minutes ahead of
time. They state that the passenger
train had orders to follow ten minutes
behind the freight, and declare that the
special should have approached the
station with caution. even if it had in
tended to pass the freight at siding,
which was its privilege.

and looked for no opposition to the re-

The meeting was called with manS

not remain if he were to have ooDoSi-

of the congregation that were at the
meeting who could be seen expressed
themselves as very friendly 10 the min

DEPENDS UPON FAIRBANKS.
Hope That His Visit TO Alaska Will
Bring Good Results.

Washington. July 1O.-Unless Senator
Fairbanks. while in Alaska, succeeds
in finding satisfactory solution of the
Vexed boundary question and brings
with him the material for the arrange
ment of a modus vivendi, the high
joint commission will not meet in Au-
gust.
1t is coniectured here that the SEN
ator, though himself a member of the
commission. has during his Alaskan
trip been unable to acquaint himself
with the unsatisfactory state of the ne
gotiations between Mr. Choate and
Lord Salisbury respecting the arrange
ment of a modus. At any rate. it is
stated here that there has been no
change in the status of the case, and no
communication from Mr.. Choate that
would tend to encourage the hope that
the high joint conference can recon-
vene in Quebec Aug. 2. to which date
the adjournment was had at the last
meeting.
