Gen. Funston Charged with Hanging
Filipinos Without Trial.
An interesting topic of conversation in
army circles at Manila is the inyestiga-
ton of Brig Gen. Frederick Funston's
execution of two Filipinos and the posi-
blity Of q court-martial resulting there
from. The story is that the Filipinos
captured three Macabebe scouts who
were crossing the country near SIN Isl
dro and were preparing to kill then when
one of the Macabebes escaped and found
Gen. Funston with scouting party near.
This man guided the Americans to the
rescue of his companions, and when the
troops approached the Filipnos fled, leav-
ing the Macabebes. Several of the Fill
pinos were shot and Gen. Funston cap
tured two of them, took them to the vii
lage square and hanged them without
trial, as a warning to the Filipinos. The
present method of warfare and instances
of the mutilation Of prisoners have in
censed the American soldiers to such
degree that they feel justified in making
reprisals, which has been done on several
occasions recently.

MANY ILLEGALLY MARRIED.
The New License Law in South Dakota
Leads to p1ications.

Leads to Com p1 ications.
Because of an apparently innocent
newspaper item, the matrimonial affairs
Of a large number of newly welded South
Dakota couples have been badly mixed.
To straighten cut matters many couples
have been remarked Others are to-day
unaware of the fact that the ceremonies
which were supposed to have tied them
together for life are, in fact, illegal. This
unfortunate condition is due to the pub
LEGATION by many of the South Dakota
newspapers of an item to the effect that
under the new marriage license law cou-
pies who obtained licenses in one county
could proceed to another county and be
married there.
The desire of many couples contem-
plating matrimony to conceal their APP
preaching marriages from their friends
and other residents of their immediate
localities contributed to complicate the
situation, as many of them quietly OBJ
tanned their licenses in one county and
proceeded to another county, where they
were not so well known, for the purpose
of having the ceremony performed A
short time ago, however, it was discoy-
cred that licenses obtained in one county
were void in other counties, and then
there was conservation in the ranks of
the newly married.

much salesfolk have to say just now
about the chilliness of gray and the
warmth of red. That line of argument
won't hold much longer, for in Il few
weeks the temperature will be such that
shoppers will look askance at anything
described as warm. But gray has had a
remarkably long run, and it will be sur
prising if some shade does not displace
it before next fall.

Thursday afternoon an immense mob of
Infatuated Porto Ricans attacked the for

at hand were used.
The negroes resisted stubbornly and
killed one of their assailants. Several of
the foreigners were seriously dubbed or

were trying to take their places, and that

Yet some people listen to and give
credence TO evidence so questionable

biased. The fact is, Chinn never
knew he WAS alive for sometime after
Goebel went down so badly scared he
