CHILD'S HEAD CUT OFF.
Eight Men Lost Their Lives ms a
Result of the Horrible
Tragedy.

Green Bay, Wis, June s.-Some In
dian children on the Oneida reserya-
ton, near Stockbridgc, saw their
mother hack of the head of chick
en-. This suggested n new game 10
their childish minds, the playing Of
which resulted in the death of nine
persons.
An Indian woman went out into the
yard of her home, where a number of
children were playing, caught chick
en- with which she wished TO prepare
a meal, got a hatchet and chopped off
its head. Then she returned to the
house, leaving the blood-stained
hatchet on the ground. One of the
children suggested that they play
chicken, and the suggestion was car
ried out Immediately. One OF the
smaller children was selected to act
the part of the chicken. The child
was thrown to the ground by its
playmates, its head placed on block
of wood and hacked off.
a number of men were engaged on
n derrick in the yard raising heavy
timbers in the erection of n barn. AS
soon as the men above noticed the
child being beheaded tley became
panic-stricken, and in the confusion
the heavy timbers which were being
raised fell with a crash, killing eight

PREPARING FOR WAR.
A Conflict between Japan and Rus
sis IL Inevitable, Says Prof.
II. Fujisavn.

Chicago, June 12.-"It is the gen
war between that country and Rus
sia," said DR.. Il. FujiSawa. n profess
sor in the Imperial university of To-
lio, Japan, who passed through Chi
cago on the way to the Paris expo
sition. DR.. Fujisawa continued:
"While there seems TO be little
doubt that the differences between
Russia and Japan must ultimately be
settled by war, it is impossible TO pre-
dict when that war may begin. Rus
sia has pursued a course which can
be construed only as an intended pro-
vocation to war. OF course. the ut
most secrecy prevails in official Ja-
pan as to the plans of the govern
mcnt, and, officially, there is nothing
to indicate that war is expected.
work on the japanese navy is be
ing pushed as rapidly as possible. It
is given out that the completed navy
will be no larger than will be neces-
sary for a nation which is growing
as is Japan TO protect her commerce
and maintain her dignity among the
powers. The suddenness and rapidi-
ty with which the work was begun
and is being pushed, however, indi-
cate that other, and almost immc-
date use will he found for it. In
the East Russia is thought to be re-
sponsible for the Boxers troubles,
either directly or indirectly"
