the effect of trying to catch and hold
a frightened buck deer. He VIII get

One day latNly the boss Of the camp on
Tomhegan Stream, where Antoine was
employed, caught sight Of a 200-p pound
buck in the edge OF the clearing. and.
grabbing his rifle. shot the animal in
the leg. The buck went down, but
was soon up and racing madly around
the clearing on three legs. The boss
never thought TO shoot again, but,
dropping his rifle, yelled TO the crew,
who We're eating their dinner: stop
heem. stop heem!''
The tables were deserted in an in
stant, and all hands made a rush for
the buck. Many of them managed TO
get a grab at him. but that was ALL
the buck BOWED them over like nine-
pins and made for the woods. Only
Antoine Parent barred the way. Catch
heem.' yelled the boss. and Antoine.
spreading out his arms, answered
back. confidently: "Yaas, / catch
heem"
There was a tackle that beat any,
thing in football history. and down |

buck on top. The deer kicked lase 20 |

TWO KILLED IN A WRECK.
Express Runs Into Open Switch in Chi
cago-Three Injured

Chicago (SpeciaD.- open switch
at Eighty-fifth street, South Chicago,
believed to have been purpOsely mis-
placed, caused the death of two men,
seriously injured three others and
made wreckage of the engine and for
ward part of the New York and Bos-
ton express train on the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern road. The
engine was demolished and two mail
and two express cars were piled up
in a heap, but the five coaches directly
behind the baggage cars did not leave
the track, and their occupants escaped
injury. The train was running 40
miles an hour when it struck the
switch. The following were killed in
the wreck:
Fl. J. JerOugh, fireman, and an un-
identified man, probably tramp.
Among the injured are: Lewis Rey-
nolds. engineer, fatally hurt; L. C..
Butncr and Frank Morton.
1t is believed that the wreck was
caused by some persons who had de-
liberately broken the switch. Three
locks which are used to hold the
switch in place had been broken and
could not be found. A dense fog that
hung over the city made it impossible
for the engineer to see the signals, and
he had no warning of the danger.

AN AssAssIN,s VICTIM
William Westmoreland Shot and Kill
ed at Petersburg.

Petersburg, Va. Especially .-Wllliam
Westmoreland, aged 80 years, married
and residing on Mckenzie street IN tnls
citv. WAS assassinated between l and
2 o'clock a. m. at the PocahOntas Cot
ton Mills. at the foot Of Wyoming
street. in Battersea, suburb OF Peters
burg. where he was employed as prl-
vate night Waterman. About the hour
stated three pistol shots, fired in quick
succession, were heard by some OF the
residents in the vicinity OF the mllls.
Mrs. Dolly Marks, who heard the shots,
rushed to the mills, where she found
Westmoreland lying on the ground In
front of the Office of the mills, dying
from the wound which had been IN
flicted by the assassin. Other neigh
bors. including Henry Wells, father
ip-law of the murdered man, were also
soon at the scene Of the murder. only
one of the three shots fired by the as
sassin took effect. The ball first struck
Westmoreland in the fleshy part of the
left arm, then entered just over the
heart and lodged in the back. He was
never conscious after being shot, and
died half an hour after receiving his
mortal wound. The ball was fired from
a 3S-calibre revolver BY Westmore-
lands side was found his pistol none
of the chambers of which were empty.
Westmoreland was required to make
rounds of the mills every hour, and his
watchman's time detecter showed that
he had made round Of the mills at
| o'clock. At the time he was shot he
was in the act of going into the office,
which is few yards from the mills.
The fact that an ak, crowbar, coupling
pin and a lot of kerosene oil was found
near where WestmOreland lay leads to
the belief that the object of the assas-
sin or assassins was first to murder
the Waterman and then set fire to the
mills. The murdered man had been
Waterman at the Pocahontas Mills for
the past five years. He leaves widow
and one child. A coroner's inquest was
held. The verdict of the jury was to the
effect that Westmoreland came to his
death from a pistol-shot wound infiict-
ed by some person unknown to the
fury. Fully 500 people visited the scene
of the murder. Three white men hall
ing from North Carolina are being held
by the police on suspicion Of being i'm
plcated in the murder.

cused Man Still a Practically 1nani-

Georgetown, Ky. Especially We, the
jury, find this defendant guilty and nx
his punishment at life Imprisonment.
This verdict was returned by the IL
men who were selected tostry Henry
sE. Youtsey, formerly Governor Taylor
stenographer, on the charge Of being
principal in the shooting of Gov. VIM.
Goebel in. front of the executive build
ing at Frankfort, January 30.
When the jury entered the court
room a few minutes after 9 O'Clock
Judge Cantrill asked
Gentlemen, have you made YER
dict?"
Foreman r. H. McCabe nodded his
head

said the judge.
The sheriff passed them up and the
clerk read the following verdict:
I'VE, the jury, find the defendant
guilty and fix his punishment at con-
finement in the penitentiary for life. "
Gentlemen, is that your verdict?"
asked the Judge.
ut is" was the reply.
Gentlemen, you are now finally dis
charged, and you can call on the trus-
tees of the jury fund for your pay,
said Judge Cantrill.
The vote was unanimous that fout-
sey was guilty. Then the degree OF
punishment was taken up. On this
question the jury was somewhat divid-
ed, but finally agreed on the life SEN
tence.
Henry Youtsey is the third man to
be found guilty in connection with the
G0ebel shooting.
Caleb Powers, tried on the charge OF
completely was sentenced to life I'M
prlsonment, while James Howard, tried
on an indictment charging him with
being a principal in the shooting, was
sentenced to death.
|. During the early days of Youtseys
trial the prisoner exhibited signs OF
breaking down While Arthur Goebel,
brother of the dead man, was on the
stand testifying, Youtsey rose in the
prisoners dock and denounced the Wit
ness in wild EXPLANATIONS, while Yout-
sey's wife screamed that Goebel had
sworn away the life of her husband.

physicians, has since practically been
inanimate. Each day his bed has been
carried to the door Of the jury room,
where it stood in plain view OF the
court, it's occupant apparently oblivious
to his surroundings.
Motions for continuance were over
ruled by Judge Cantrill, who declared
that he was powerless to stop the trial
unless the defendant be adjudged lu-
matte. Youtsey showed considerable
improvement, however, and his physi-
clans stated that he had resumed TAX
ing nourishment in the regular man
ner, while his respiration was rapidly
becoming normal.
The defense filed a motion for an ar
rest of judgment and Judge Cantrill set
it for hearing on the second day Of the
February term. Therefore, Youtsey
will not be sentenced until next year.
Youtsey was ordered removed to the
Frankfort jail
1t is likely jury will be empaneled
as soon as practicable to inquire into
Youtsey's sanity.

BASIS or FRENCH NOTE.
The Opening of Peace Negotiations In
China.

Washington Especially For the first
time In three days Minister Congef
was heard from ut the State Depart
ment He communicated by cable the
substance of certain propositions ad-
vanced by Prince Ching and III Hung
Chang as a basis for the conduct OF
negotiations for a settlement or the
Chinese trouble. The Chinese govern
ment already had prepared the way for
these by a preliminary action looking
toward the punishment OF Chinese OIL
ficials guilty of completely in the Boxer
uprising. and while the text OF Mr..
Conger's communication is not made
public. it is believed that the last Chi
nese advance is addressed to some or
the propositions contained In the
French note, being in the nature OF
counter and proceeding
upon the theory that what has been
done in the matter of punishments is
sufficient to meet the demands from
the powers.
Minister WI called at the State De-
partment by appointment and had
long conference with Secretary Hay.
The Secretary previously had spent
an hour with the President at the
White House, presumably in the con-
sideratio of Mr.. COnger's communlca-
tion. and it is believed that Minister
WI was called to the department to
throw light upon some of the detalied
propositions.
1t was learned at the State Depart
ment that Mr.. Conger's previous In
structions fit him perfectly to deal with
the new phase of the Chinese situation
developed by the general acceptance
of the French note as the basis Tor
present action. M. Thiebaut, me
French charge here, called at the stare
Department and proposed to the Sec
rotary the immediate institution at
Pekin of negotiations for settlement,
and 1t appears that the Secretary then
agreed to do his part. His promise
was made verbally, and it may not DE
reduced to writing at all, but Mr.. Con-
ger is already acting in conformity
Herewith. Most of the powers have
accepted the French note with reser-
vations. but it is said that they all
agree upon a sufficient number Oh
points of the first magnitude to war
rant the assembling of the diplomatic
body at Pekin to begin the work OF
formulating objects OF common desire
and reconciling divergent views. 1t is
probable that to this body will be re-
ferred the latest Chinese counter
proposition.
There is reason to believe that the
government will take favorable action
on the latest proposition of the French
government, presented through the
French charge d'affaires. M. Thiebaut.
This contemplates the opening OF peace
negotiations on those points which the
powers are agreed upon.
Secretary Hay said that the reply TO
the message of the Emperor OF China
thanking the President for the attitude
of the United States and expressing
hope of a speedy settlement had been
dispatched II was purely formal IN
character. 1t thanked the Emperor for
his expressions and Joined in the hope
of speedy and satisfactory peace.
