JESTER IS CHEERFUL
Since His Daughter Arrived
From Oklahoma.

St. Louis, July IA special to the
Post ispatch from New London, Mo-,
says:
The last person who ever talked with
Gilbert w. Gates. as far as known,
save Alexander Jester himself. was
placed on the stand today. His name
is A. w. Bassett, and he resides near
Middle Grove, where the young man so
mysteriously disappeared in 1871. The
two travellers stopped at the BaSsett
farm and bought some feed for their
teams. This was the day following the
night Jester choked Gates.
The witness testified that he talked
with young Gates and that Gates told
him he had been out west and was go
ing home. TESTERS chief counsel, P. H.
Cullen, objected to this testimony, but
Judge Eybe overruled his objection. Mr..
BaSSett also stated that Gates told him
he did not like to travel with the old
man, meaning Jester, because he was so
era bbed.
Ex-Governor Johnson of the prosecu-
ton, said today that the states theory
for Gates failure to leave Jester after
the choking he received at his hands
was that he had no opportunity to do
so.
Asel A. Gates, the father, had this to
say on that point:
Il believe Jester made my son believe
he was dreaming when he cholxed him
and as Gilbert knew he would soon be
in Paris. Mo-, he thought he would con-
tinue to travel with Jester till they
reached that point
The appearance of Alexander Jester is
more cheerful since the arrival of his
daughter, Alice Kimbrogh from Okla
homa- She is the youngest of his large
family, and she is disposed to stand by
her father. Shortly after coming into
court today, Jester remarked that he
liked the looks of the jury
/. Capt. Hugh Stewart, testified that he
and his wife were riding horseback on
the road leading from Middle Grove to
Paris one day in January, 1871. They
saw a pool of blood in the snow in the
middle of what is known as Hulin's
lane The pool of blood was fresh.
The witness saw numerous spots of
blood as he proceeded along this road
When near the mouth of Hulins lane
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart saw a colored
man named Bill Maxey and Tom Tea
ford, who had just previously met two
wagons and their driver, Alexander Jes-
ter.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart arrived at
that point Jester and the two wagons
were about half way to the Hulin
house, witness said. The nearest timber
from the pool of blood was in a south
eastern direction, and after Jester start
ed with the two wagons and teams tied
together, he went as quickly and as di-
rectly as he could to this timber
1t Is the theory of the state that the
corpse of young Gates was in one of the
wagons at the time

The Russian embassy here has re-

the Russian minister at Pekin. The
officials do not discredit it but say that
the Russians are under the same dis
advantage as the other powers in get

Pekin. They think that if this proves
true it will entirely and very seriously

FAMILIES EVICTED.
Pressed Steel Car Company Making
Material For Riot.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 14--Between %
and 80 evicted families have been en-
camped in an orchard just outside of
that section of McKee'S Rocks, called
Preston. OF the numerous children be-
longing to the camp one died yesterday
and another can scarcely live. The men of
the evicted families were employees of
the Pressed Steel Car company and
have been living in houses at Preston
owned by the Fidelity Land company
an adjunct of the car company. Two
weeks ago the men were on strike and
now they claim their eviction is the re-
suit The company claims the men were
discharged for melting riot. The camp
ers have been securing new homes as
fast as possible but a number of them
will have to remain in camp another
night at least. One of the men named
Pollak said he was at work at the
Pressed Steel Car company's plant yes
terday and when he went to his house
in the evening he found it empty, as his
wife, their four months old child and
household goods in the orchard. They
had been evicted without any notice be-
ing given him. He says the men who
occupied the houses were employees of
the car company and the rent was ta-
ken from their wages in advance every
two weeks up to the time of the strike.

INDIANS STARVING.
Drouth in Arizona Causes Great Pri-

Phoenix, Ariz., July 1.-THE pro-
longed drouth, probably unprecedented
in the history of this portion of Arizona
has greatly augmented the sufferings of
the famine stricken Pima Indians on the
SacatOn reservation.
Members Of the tribe have told Su-
perfntendent Gowan of the Indian school
that their cattle are dying rapidly from
starvation and thirst Most of
the Indians now depend for
food on the few who still have
provisions and the supply cannot last
long. They are emacia ted and suffering
and unless the $50, coo congressional ap-
preparation can be used at once, private
subscriptions or similar relief measures
must be taken.
