RACE WAR IN INDIANA.
ut Cement viils--One OF the Rioters Shot.
Whites Keeping Within Doors.

Jeffersonville, Ind, Dec. ga race
war is OH ut Cementville. five miles
north of this city, and serious trouble
Is expected at any minute. The ne
groes are all armed. and the whites
are keeping within doors to avoid
them.
The outbreak began yesterday when
Lee Ranger and John Redmond, ne
groes, both very drunk, started In to
intimidate whites. When their in
suits were resented other negroes
jumped in with the liquor-crazed men
and captured Sam Kendall's saloon.
Nearly 20 shots were fired, but no one
was hurt. Kendall, in addition to his
saloon, conducts a dry goods store,
which was being attended by his
wife. and into this the negroes flocked
after the firing at the saloon.
Mrs. Kendall was badly frightened
and her husband 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 companions. Ken
dall's life was threatened and about
midnight he was able 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 in to
serve them. 1t was almost daylight
when the town became quiet, the ne
groes having everything their own
way. No further outbreak has taken
place, because the whites are intim-
dated to such an extent that they are
using every possible p%recaution to pre-
vent a collision with the blacks. 1t is
believed the slightest quarrel will
bring about a bloody riot.

sLAZIEST OF KINGS.
Leopold Said to Hold the Record, Milan
Being One of the Has-Beeus.

Being One of the Has-Beeua
Ex-king Milan of Servia has been
called the LATEST of all the royalties
merely because he is never afoot be-
fore II o'clock. When he rises he goes
at once, half-dressed, to a solid lunch
Of heavy meats, puddings and wines.
After luncheon he smokes q couple of
strong cigars; then, if there is nothing
pressing to be done, he goes back to
bed and either reads or goes to sleep,
as the fancy takes him. At ) o'clock he
is up again, and usually goes out in
search of amusement. He is seldom
back at the palace until dawn. when
he tumbles into bed. But whoever
calls Milan a lazy man never heard Of
the one hunting expedition of the king
of the Belgians. He wanted to have
the sensation of killing without going
in search of his game. So he sat in his
armchair and potted at a lot of rab-
bits let loose from a bag in front of
him. When the smoke cleared away
and he called for his bag he had to be
told that all that had been found was
one tail and a certain small quantity
OF fluff. He never went shooting again.
The czar occasionally aids at a bat
tue. but the thing bores him and he
goes only out of politeness. The prince
of Wales is a good shot. and is fond of
shooting. but his big-game days are
over. The emperor of Germany hunts
and shoots a great deal, but those who
know him best say he does not care
much for the sport. With him it Is a
matter of tradition-the right thing for
a royal parsonage to do. The king of
Portugal, who holds the record of fat
ness among the royalties, is debarred
physically from such violent exercise.
The king Of Sweden never touches a
gun. The sultan of Turkey cannot bear
to see one. The king of Italy is the
only real representative of the old
kingly tradition. He is a mighty hunt
CT. and frequently throws up all the
routine of work without a word OF
warning and goes OFF with Col. Pizzim-
bolini to spend several weeks in pur-
suit of game of all kinds with which
the mountains abound. Formerly he
established no means of communica-
ton with Rome. Neither Queen Bar
gherita nor any of his ministers ever
know where to find him for weeks at a
time. He might have lost his throne
In a sudden upheaval and known
nothing of it till he descended to the
plains. OF late, however, he has be-
come wiser. Now a carrier leaves
Rome every second day during his ex-
petitions, bringing reports of all that
happens.-New York Press.

A TOUGH ROAD TO TACKLE.
Avenging Fate That Has Run Down
Train Robbers.

One year ago Saturday the Wilcox
train robbery on the UniCn Pacific took
place, and in celebration of its ami
versary, the Union Pacific officials are
facilitating themselves that the Union
Pacific proves a tough railroad for train
ROBBERS to tackle, says the Omaha
World-Herald
The result to the rash a~dventurers
upon that raid are these: Louis Logan,
alias Frank Miller, alias Lunny Logan,
alias Lonny Curry, lies under the sod
at Dodson, Mo-, where, February IS,
he came to full stop while resisting ar
rest; George Curry, alias Flatnose
George, occupies a lot in a cemetery,
owing to hat he resisted arrest April
II at a point seventy miles north of
Green River station, Wyo., while pur-
sued, and Bob Lee, alias Bob Harris,
alias Bob Curry. went to the Laramie
penitentiary, in celebration of the an
niversary, to serve a ten years SEN
tence imposed by the federal court at
Cheyenne last week.
The story of the robbery is that the
first section of No. l, with mail and ex-
press going west, was stopped on the
dark and rainy morning a year ago by
five or six men, it is not known how
many for a certainty; several shots
were fired, and the express car was
blown in with dynamite. and S3,490 in
money, less a 81 bill, and a quantity
Of jewelry was taken. The bridge be,
hind the train was partially blown up,
so that the second section with hun
.dreds Of passengers aboard would have
been wrecked had not the conductor
of the first section escaped and
back to flag it. Then the robbers es-
capped to the northwest, and three or
four days later were overhauled by
Sheriff Hazen's posse. They killed
Hazen, and for the time escaped.
Money without limit has since been
spent and is still being used in run
ming every man to cover, and since the
results of the first year include three
in the net, it is asserted thai not a mar
will finally escape, though the pursuit
be kept up for twenty years.
This always has been the policy of
the company, as times has told after
every robbery made. Two men are
now serving seven years zach in the
Nebraska penitentiary for the next to
the last attempt made, that at Brady
Island in 1895.
