Rev. C c. Waller, president of the
New Mexico Baptist college at Alsmo-
gordo, New Mexico, and proprietor of
the Alamogordo Banner and the New
Mexico Baptist, Was in FL Paso yester-
day. DR.. Waller came here to attend to
the shipment of 100. 600 Ell Paso pressed
brick for use on the first building of
the new college at Alsmogordo. There
are brick yards in his city where q
good quality OF building material is
made, but IL was believed that the FL
Paso brick was the best, and the con-
tract specified brick from this city.
The college will be opened on the
18th of October" eaid DR.. Waller at

purposes. After others have been
erected, the building will be converted
into dormitory for the studeats.

so you can understand the amount OF
energy required to have it in condition
for occupancy By the time stated.
"One feature of the Institution,
which Is my o~a idea, IL thai the chill

the institution tuition free. The min
listers OF the gospel who devote their
lives aud talents and energy to the
work In this part of the country, are
paid not more than half OF what they
could earn had they devoted their
time to some other occupation, and |
believe that their children should oe
given q good education at the expense
OF the Baptist church.
The object of the college Is to give
nign grade education to the rising

AT one time, just at dusk, a sicken-

Fully two hundred Boxers gathered
In the streets. and more than twenty
OF them bore long bamboo poles from
which were suspended young children

4. V, Ramsey is registered at the
Pierson from Pekin, China. He is on
his way to his home in the east from
San Francisco. Mr.. Ramsey has passed
through an experience which falls to
Ahn l.Nr ~ r
the Csinese capital before the allied
armies came to the rescue of the
foreigners there, and after much
hardship reached the American troops.
His experience in escaping from the
walled city sounds like romance.
He Is the only man in the United
States today who has seen the condi-
tions in the Chinese capital, and Is
the hrst foreigner to be saved by she
allied armies.
Mr.. Ramsey made his escape from
circumstances. He occurred Chinese
clothing from q friendly native who
had been HE servantin Pekin and under
this disguise left the city. he had
picked upa smattering OF the language,
and was enabled to escape detection
owing to the difference In the numer-
Qua detects among the Chinese. After
great suherink and many narrow es-
oapes from death and torture he finally
encountered the Japanese army. TIE
army WAS then within two days march
OF the city. The Japs directed him to
the American army, where he arrived
on the day the city was taken.

the walls of the imperial castle, In tho
Purple City, or the inner walls of the
town, which is the part set aside fol
the Chinese mobiles.
The first sign of the crisis was IL
small mob demon stions, said Mr.
K iSy last night, ION the part of the
Boxers, or agitators, as the
word Is translated. We had been
warned Of possible IDLE, but anti
! cipated nothing more than the usual
disorder consequent upon the cele-
brstion OF Chinese feast days.
Matters coon came to a more serious
pass however, and In q short time the
foreigners in Pekin realized that un-
less help came from the outside every
white person within the walls would be
doomed. The fret attack Was made
holding mob Of hideously painted and
fsnatical Chinese, members of the
Boxer organizations, psraded the
streets and surrounded the foreign
quarters. They were half naked, and
delirtous With excitement and hatred
OF the foreign devils" The legations
were all bsrraosded. by that time. and
we're met with volley after volley Of
shots from the marines and soldiers
stationed at the embassies.
"Foreigners who were unable to
reach the Legations in time we're capt
ured and tortured TO death In front o.
the legation windows. Their clothing
was torn from their bodies and they
were dipped In pitch and burned rs

Christians By the Romans was human
ity beside the fendish cruelties prsc-
ticed by the Boxers ia the streets of
Pekin.
The burning bodies Of the foreign
ers lighted the Chinese on their hor-
rible work. L saw u gray haired Old
man tcrn limb from limb, and each
arm and leg saturated in burning tar,
carried around by dozen bloody Tar
tArs.
Women in the legations tainted
with fear and disgust at the sickening
sights. A young French girl, wrapped
In the French flag torn from busi-
ness house in the French quarter,
was burned alive in the center of q
bowling mob. The spectacle was

bodies of fourteen British sailors who
had been on q lark in the city Al
the time the disorder broke out,

legation blsckened and man gled be-

ION the third day OF the outbreak,
the assault on the United States lega-
sion was begun. A heavy fire was
Kept up from all sides, aud breaches in
the wall through which q horse aui
wagon could have been driven, were
made. All of the lighting force was
gathered at these weak places. The
women was given firearms with which
to take their own lives when the Box
ers should succeed In demolishing the
building.
Twenty or thirty blood stained
Cinnamon rushed the breach at one
time with barrel Of Runpowder TO

They were met by the handful of
marines, and forced to retreat. They
carried the powder with them, and
before the fuse could be stamped out

more than Q hundred Boxers.
