MINISTER FATALLY SHOT.
Tarried Too Late IN Jealous Hus-
baRI,s Home

MATEWAN, w. Va, Nov 12-Rev.
John Holden, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of this place, was shot
and probably fatally injured in Pike eoun-
ty, Kentucky, Immediately opposite here,
Saturday night. The shooting occurred
at the home of Robert Bostock Rev. Mr.
Holden went to the home of Mr.. Bostock.
as he claimed, to make a pastoral call
Mr. Bostoek was not at home at the time;
in fact, no one was there save Mrs Bos-
took, who is a member of Mr.. HoIden's
congregation, and who heretofore has al
ways been held in the highest esteem.
The minister claims that when he de-
sired to return to this side of the river
he could not secure a craft and that he
was compelled to remain in Kentucky. It
was nearly midnight when Mr. Bostock
who had been away, returned rather IN
expectedly. On entering his home ne al
leges he found the minister in the room
usually occupied by himself, and be inn
mediateIy pulled his revolver and opened
fire. One bullet pierced the minister's
right breast and came out just below the
shoulder blade. Mr.. Holden Ieaped from
the Bostock home into the darkness and
fed to Tug River. No craft was conyen-
lent, and, not wishing to tarry longer in
Kentucky, he plunged into the stream and
swan to West Virginia, number of
bullets being nfed at MIN IN the darkness
! by the man who claimed that the sane
tity of his home had been disturbed. Mrs
Bostock during the excitement, it is said.
also ran away from hel- home and has rot
since been seen.
| Mr. Holden, after reaching this side of
! the river, proceeded to the Office of Dr.
L. D. Burgess, where his ..ound was
| dressed. Yesterday morning Bostock
came to this side Of the river with Win
chester on his shoulder and swore ven
geance at first sight of the minister The
latter's friends an hour lt=ter managed 10
get him TO the station and he took a
northbound train for Huntington, W Va.
Mr. Holden's pulpit was vacant yesterday
and but little else has been talked OF in
this place save the sensational episode of
last night. Mr.. Bostock is a timber agent
and is favorabiy known, while his wife is
from one of the leading families of Pike
county
Mr.. Holden was taken to the private
hospital Of DR.. YickeFs at Huntington
where he is now receiving medical atten-
ton. He is in a very serious condition
and his wound may prove fatal Mr. hoI-
den is q single man, about thirty -four
years of age, and has been a member OF
the West Virginia Conference but few
years. He claims that Bostoek came
home in an intoxicated condition and shot
him without any proYocation whatever.

authority The report as set forth indi-
Gates that there will be 10 PEI cent of an

Prof. Proctor, President Of the Civil SerY-

scheme, Some weeks ago he opened cor
respondenee with q few of his friends con-
nected with several weIl-known colleges
and universities and asked if they would
be willing to receive as students q number
CT Filipi5 o young men and women and
what the cost would be per student The
expense OF educating the Fflipinos is to be
paid by private subscription.
Prof. Proctor saw Secretary Root about
the matter and made arrangements for the
transportation CT the FiIipinos who will be
selected by the Taft Commission. Out OF
this movement on the part of the President
OF the Civil Service Commission grew the
report that the Administration was consid-
efiug plan whereby several hundred Fill
pinGs, young men and women. would be
brought 10 this country and educated to
ut them for teachers in the island schools,
and that the matter would be laid before
Congress by the President who would rec
ommend an appropriation sufficient to de-
fray the expense Of educating them
Prof. Procter's idea has been heartily
commended by his colleagues on the Civil
Service Commission and by the leading ed
ucators Of the country with whom he has
talked on the subject Il is not at all
probable that Congress VIII be asked to ap-
propriate dollar, as the arrangements al
