 Before He Was Taken

Muscogee, I. T., December &.-John Tiger, full-blooded Indian, a ferryman on the Arkansas river two miles south of Eufaula, went to Eufaula with his wife this after noon, and while intoxicated met I. B. Roper and threatened to kill him. Roper struck Tiger with a board, no words passing be- tween them. Tiger went to his buggy and got a Winchester. He walked calmly back to kill Roper, but failed to find him. En- ragged, he proceeded to fire at every one he saw, shooting Jepe Beck through the hips and killing him. He then killed Dave Por- ter, a nephew of Chief Porter and mover named Johnson, on his way to Missouri, in a covered wagon with his family. One Fay Tor, aged IS, was shot through the shoul- der and is not expected to live. Tiger jumped on horse and tried to escape He was chased three miles, when he jumped off his horse, got behind a tree and began shooting. Deputy Marshal Johnson, who returned the fire, struck Tiger in the arm
 The murderer surrendered and was brought to Eufaula. Tigers will have to be amputated. Great indignation prevails over the free sale of liquor and firearms. J. T. Smith, who lives two miles south of Checo- tah, became involved in a quarrel with T. Thompson, the shooting occurring at Flu faula, Thompson being mortally wounded.

 The Times dealing with the same sub- ject, concludes that there is urgent need for 8 thorough national system of technical and commercial education.

Kitchener Bringing Thousands of
 Troops from the North
TRYING HARD TO STEM INVASION
Loyalists Demand That Martial Law Shall be Proclaimed Throughout
 Cape Colony - Scarcity of Sol
 diers Makes This Impossible

London, December 26.-The position of Cape Colony is hanging in the balance. According to the Morning Posts Capey town correspondent, everything depends upon the quantity of ammunition in pos- session of the disloyal Dutch residents, 100 of whom have joined the Boers in the Philipptowns district alone. Energetic measures have been taken to stem the in- vasion, but there is unquestionably danger that parties of Boers will get through into parts of the colony and raise the whole Cape rebellion. Achievements can arrive none too soon.
 Most of the dispatches from Capetowu describe the raiders as doing little harm and as being rapidly enclosed by Lord Kitchener's combination. Lord Kitchener is in the heart of the disaffected districts. He has the advantage of being personally acquainted with local conditions Last March he supervised the suppression of the uprising which occurred then. He IS bringing down thousands of troops from the north.
 The Standards Capetown correspondent says the loyalists demand that martial law shall be proclaimed throughout Cape Colony, but adds:
 Such step is now impossible owing to the lack of sufficient troops to enforce it.n
 Pro-Boer Press Quiet. The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Capetown says:
 The pro-Boer press Is singularly quiet They have been made uneasy by the promptness and thoroughness of the mili- tary action, but reports from various parts of the Western provinces foreshadow per- ilous possibilities.
 "A responsible colonist who recently made at tour of the colony, declares that ninety per cent of the Dutch are simply waiting for the appearance of a resources full leader to rebeL''
 Civil railway traffic has been suspended largely in all parts of the colony and the movement of both the Boers and the Brit ish are almost unknown dn Capetown.
 It appears that one Boer column att tackled Steynsburg, but was repulsed and fed entrenching itself in the mountains. Another Boer commando captured a party of police at Venterstad Mounted colonial troops surprised 300 Boers fifteen miles from Burghersdorp December 2S, and afr ter brisk interchange of volleys retired with loss of two men.
 The Capetown correspondent of the Times telegraphs that scarcely any Cape Colonists have joined the invaders.

DEMENT'S IN
 THE CUDAHY CASE
Pony Found Which is Thought to Have Been Used by
 kidnapperS

Omaha, Neb., December 25.-Another im- portant development in the Cudahy kid- mapping case has been repolted to the police in the discovery in tarn near Pacific Junction, twenty-two miles south, and just across the river, of a pony answering the description of the one ridden by one of the abGuctors.
 Tie saddle was in neighboring barn, and @ pair of trousers was in the shed in which the pony had been abandoned.
 E. A. Cudahy, in speaking of the case, said:
 "rhere are some important developments, but for obvious reasons I cannot state them for publication. The detectives have found some clews that seem to point in the right direction. think the discovery of the lan- tern which marked the place where I de- posted the ransom is an important clew. The lantern has been identified by Pat Me- Grath, who was with me when l delivered the money.
 "A more important clew, however will be in hand when we get the horse which one of the men used on the night of the kidnap- ping. A horse answering the description of the one used by the kidnappers has been dl 6dcliic JuHSllOn, ana tne dnlIndl will be brought to Omaha at once.
 "If this provs to be the horse actually used by the kidnapers 1t ought to aid us considerably in securing accurate descrip- ticns of the men we hunting.
 "The published story that there were only two men implicated in the crime is incor- rect, because two men were in buggy that carried off my boy and third followed on horseback My son thinks he could identify only one of the kidnapers-the one who re- mained with him in the house. This man talked a great deal to the boy, and Eddie thinks he could identify him by his voice.
 q received letter this morning and an- other one this evening signed 'Eloise T. in which the writer tells me that the men who did the Kidnapping are not in Omaha that we are on the wrong track altogether These letters were written on the letter paper of the Windsor Hotel of Omaha and posted from Cincinnati. The writer makes no attempt to open negotiations with me for the disclosure of the guilty persons, and think the letters were written to divert us from the right track. We shall not pay any attention to these letters"

TERRIBLE MASSACRE OF REFORM
 CHINESE FORCES IN CICHILA
Resulted in the Killing of 1900 Na- tives and the Beheading of
 All the Leaders.

Minneapolis, Minn., December 25-A Times special from Vancouver says:
 News of a terrible massacre of the re- form forces in China and the beheading of twenty-seven of its leaders was received here today in a cablegram by ". A. Me- Row, secretary of the Chinese Reform As sociation in America. The engagement took place In the province of Chi Chi Li, pop ulous section of the Yang Tse Valley in central China. It resulted in the killing of 1500 natives and the complete demoraliza- tion of the reform forces. The battle, into which the reformers were brought by treachery, occurred on December IS, and the work of the movement has as a conse- quence been dropped in all that part of the country.
 The Chinese here are loud in their ex- pressions of disapproval of the conduct of the campaign by their leaders. It appears from the few details given in the cabegram that the reform leader at the head of a badly armed force of 12,00O paid visit to Chung Hi Tung, Governor of the district

 The United States Rubber Company, the great eastern trust which controls nearly all the rubber shoe industries in this coun- try, has submitting in writing a proposi- tion to the Mishawaka Rubber Boot and Shoe Company providing for the sale of the local concern.

The local establishment Is the most formidable rival of the trust, and three offers have been made in as many years by the com bine to gain control of the Mishawaka plant, the one received last week being the most tempting of any by about $50O000.
 The United States Rubber Company has announced 25 per cent reduction in 19U1 prices to dealers, and the cut will not be met by the Mishawaka company. F.. A. Saunders, formerly general manager for the trust, has taken a similar position with the concern in this city at a large salary.

THE NEGROES AR[ UP IN ARMS
 AGAINST TH[ WHITES IN INDIANA

Indianapolis, December 25.-A special to the News from Jeffersonville, Ind, says a race riot is on at Cementville, small sta- ton on the Pan Handle Railroad, five miles north of that city, and serious trouble is expected at any moment. The negroes are all armed, and the whites are keeping with in doors to avoid them. The outbreak began yesterday afternoon when Lee Ranger and John Redmond negroes, both drunk, start ed in to intimldate the whites. When their insults were resented other negroes joiner the liquor-crazed men and captured Sam Kendall's saloon. Nearly twenty shots were fired, but no one was hurt. An appeal by telephone was made to Sheriff Rave for help and he drove out to Cementville in 0 buggy and to some extent quieted the ne- groes.
 After his departure another outbreak took place and message after message came to the local police to send men to the town. Sheriff Rave was again asked to go to the scene, but declined to do last night Ken dall, in addition to his saloon, conducts

drygoods store, which was being attended by his wife, and into the negroes fiocked after the firing at the saloon.
 Mrs. Kendall was badly frightened, and her husbard ran into the place and began shooting into the mob. Ranger was shot, but how badly, is not known, as he was carried away and secreted by his compan- ions. .Kendalrs life was threatened, and about midnight he managed to escape from his store and came direct to this city, awakening Prosecutor Montgomery and begging him to issue warrants and have deputy sheriffs sworn to serve them. It was almost daylight when the town became quiet, the negroes having gone their own way. The whites are intimidates to such an extent that they are using every possible precaution to prevent a collision with the blacks. It is believed the slightest quarrel will bring about bloody riot.
 There is no direct telephone connection with the place, but private line, owned by the railroad, is being used to keep the of ficers posted.

 Long was invited to the Governors palace and with his 12 900 men marched into the city. They left all their arms outside the gates taking the precaution to carry only their loaded revolvers. There were 5000 im- perial troops in the town, but nothing was feared from them. When the audience with the Governor was arranged, there were twenty-seven of the leading followers of Rang Yu Wei admitted. Then a disagree ment arose The Governor had the leaders seized and taken into the courtyard, where they were beheaded, and in the meantime a secret order had been sent to the imperial troops to descend upon the poorly armed army of the reformers. The five thousand well-drilled soldiers took tine country peo- pie completely by surprise, but nevertheless tine latter pluckily fought their way through and escaped They carried away their own wounded, but left 1500 dead on the field and scattered in the streets of the city.
