PLAYED FARO WITH A GUN.
George Stark Employs Six-ShoOter
10 BreaIS the RnnI<.

WAHPETON, y. D., Nov. S-George
Stark held up the banker at the gambling
house 325 First Avenue south. last night
and relieved him of S235. Stark had been
playing at the place for several days and
had lost all his summers earnings Made
desperate by his losses, he drew a re-
yolver, and, placing it beneath the nose Of
Nike Shelly, who was dealing at the faro
layout, he calmly proceeded 10 take all
the money. in the drawer. Stark made good
his escape from the place, but was aTpre-
hended on Third Street, near the Guaranty
Loan Building by Policeman Gingras and
lodged in the Central station.
In the police court Stark was discharged
no complaint being made Several mes
sages were sent to the syndicate gambling
rooms to find out what action the pro-
prietors desired to take, but no replies
were received. 1t was finally determined
that they did not intend TO prosecute, end
Stark was given his liberty
It has been claimed that only gamblers
and people of independent means well
known to the gambling fraternity were
allowed in the gambling dens Of the city
and that strangers and laboring men We're
barred, but the present case shows that
hard working men are tolerated in the
places.
Stark arrived in the city about a week
ago from North Dakota, where he was
employed during the summer as a farm
hand. He went to the place yesterday
afternoon and for q time played with in
different success. Finally he had made
his original SO grow TO $40, but finally
he lost his gains and even his original $40.
Just as Shelley was about TO start new
deal he heard Stark cry Hold"
Thinking that Stark wanted 10 make an
other bet Shelly stopped dealing. The next
instant he looked up only to look into the
muZZle of a revolver. There was a number
of men in the place but not one stirred, as
the man behind the gun seemed determined
Stark then helped himself to the money in
the drawer and started for the door John
Goodbar, the dOOTkeepeT, hastily locked the
back door so that Stark had to go down the
front stairs. Before leaving the room he
leyeled his revolver at the crowd and then
turning rapidly made his way downstairs
and out on First Avenue south. He turned
in TO Fourth Street and down the alley be-
tween the Oneida block and the saloon on
the other side. Goodbar Louis Wiley and
Policeman Gingras started in pursuit Stark
was soon out of sight
few minutes later, however. his pur-
suers saw him coOlly walking up Third
Street. He was placed under arrest When
searched al the station the revolver and
$235 were found in mis- pockets. He said that
for the past seven years he had been losing
his earnings in the gambling holes, and
thought he would try and recover it at des-
perate odds He says his home is at -

AN INDIANA PANTHER.

The Animal Haunts the Woods and
Terrorizes Country Folk.
SCOTTSBURG, Ind, Nov. Scott coun-
tvs panther story is assuming reality It
is no longer a ghost of vivid imagination.
That wild animal of some description
has invaded the bounds Of this (Vienna)
township there remains no doubt
1t has been located in the woods Of Lewis
Wilson, five miles northwest of here, and
has been distinctly seen twice by persons
who We're hauling timber through the
woods. Late Thursday afternoon workmen
caught sight of the animal less than 100
yards way.
They obtained a fairly good view Of it
and describe its actions as much like those
Of a cat. 1t was skulking through some un-
derbrush and bounded away Immediately
upon the approach OF the men 1t was Of
a tawny color.
It was seen also in the same vicinity
yesterday by three lumbeTmen, and their
description tallies with that given by the
others. Its screams We're plainly heard
The general opinion is that the animal has
escaped from some circus. but has been
in this woods a long time.
The nearest house is One-half mile away
and in other directions there is no house
for two miles The country is denscly
wooded and the deep Taviues and iunglcs
afford a perfect hiding place. Until recent
ly little or no clearing has been done and
the locality is entirely out Of the way Of
travel.

SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.
The Georgia Institutions influence
ON the states Welfare.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. S.-From it's very
initiation the Georgia School of Technology
has amply justified its creation, and each
year 1t becomes a more important factor
in the strength and progress of the state
Four hundred students are now enjoy
ing the benefits of its training, and the
recent addition Of the textile department
has enlarged the scope of its usefulness
The establishment of this department is
due in large part to the generosity of Mr.
Aaron French. of Pittsburg, who has con-
tributed largely of his means to its equip
ment and support. In the noble and UH-
selfish acts of this citizen of distant
State for the benefit of the Neurological
School the people of Georgia should find
an inspiration that Will impel them TO
stand by it still more Loyalty and to pro
vide still more literally for its support.
Mr.. French sees very clearly how yalu-
able to Georgia this school already is and
how much more valuable il can be made.
Surely Georgians have the perception 10
appreciate this fact and the sense TO give
lhis noble institution a full opportunity
10 do the great work which it is so evident
that it can do for the State, for its present
generation, its children, and its children's

Robbed Houses.

Robbed Houses.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8.-Confronted
with the evidence which the police had al
ready obtained against him, George Den
ming. who was arrested on Monday evening,
made a confession yesterday in which was
told all about his operations as house
robber Denning proved himself to be a
clever thief or else he might have been
captured long ago He is an accomplished
musician and by representing himself as
piano tuner for various piano firms, ne
found it a rather easy matter TO gain ad-
mitrance TO many houses.
He did not commit robberies in a hap
hazard sort Of way, for he generally con-
tented himself with one or two Jobs" a
week The man is both refined and inJelli-
gent. and as he sat in his cell yesterday
he cried like a child 1t is undoubtedly the
prisoners first arrest as he has none OF the
traits OF a professional criminal
Denning began TO rob houses in his pc
culiar way several months ago, and al
though ne has lived at a hotel close TO
the city hall he succeeded in evadiDg the
detectives who had been searching for
him. He did not rely solely on what money
he might realize by his pilfering, for the
police have discovered that he worked
whenever he could obtain employment.
On Monday evening Denning attended one
of the theatres and there encountered Con-
stable Rementer and his wife, who are
residents Of LausdOwne. Delaware county.
Denning had robbed two or three houses
al that pretty little town, and he had
also tried to gain admittance to Mrs. Re
menter's home, but the constable's wife
was a shrewd woman and the man was

police court, where he was confronted by

PACIFYING THE NEGRos.
General Hughes Report Considered
by the WHr Department.

General hughes HeDOrt Considered
by the War Department.
The reports which General Hughes has
sent regarding the pacifcation of the ISL
and of Negros and the institution there
Of civil government are considered at the
War Department Of great interest and i'm
portance It is possible that Hughes is
over sanguine as to the future but, at all
events the work which he has done in Ne
gTos is far in advance of that done in any
OF the other islands of the same class.
Negros is the largest of the Visayan group;
it has an area Of 4,G70 square miles. but has
less population than Panay or Cebu. AS it
has no large cities, the pacificatiOn might
seem more difficult than the same task in
any Of the other islands of that group.
There remains. it is conceded, the capture
or dispersal OF the brigands and unless
they are found 10 be substantially all the
interior population. which does not seem
likely, their subjugation ought TO be ac-
complished in g few months.
The work of pacificatiOn differs in extent
and difficulty in the various groups. IN
Luzou and the Visayas we are obliged to
face conditions with which Spanish rule has
made it exceedingly difficult to cope. When
the Spaniards came to the Philippines they
found in each island or group of islands
hereditary monarchies. Instead of trying
TO cajole or employ the reigning monarchs
for their own use or to assist in the gov
ernment. as the British have usually done
in their colonies, the Spaniards chose their
fayorite method Of coercion and waged
brutal wars OF determination. The result
was that in the course of centuries. all the
monarchies in Luzon the Visayas and a
few other islands were completely wiped
out. Hence. the tribes have been without
hereditary leaders and the people have all
been equals.
In MindauaC and the Sulus the situation
has been altogether different. There the
Spaniards. after many attempts found the
task of conquering the monarehs TOO great,
and made terms with them, and as a result
there have been few revolutionary move
mCnts in the southern islands The AmeTi-
cans have found as their legacy in Luzon
and the Visayas long standing rebelIious.
which they have had difficulty in queling,
because there were no dignitaries of des-
potic powers with whom TO deal. No trouble
is anticipated in the southern Islands, un-
less, Of course, an attempt should be made
to interfere with the religious practices Of
the people. In view of these facts, the re-
ported success of General Hughes in Ne
gros is regarded here with surprise as well
Is approval.
