AGITATION OVER MISS STONE.
Macedonians Accused Of Kidnapping the
Missionary.

Sofia, Dec. 1.-Mr. Mihialowski, presi'
dent of the Macedonian committee, re'
Gently made a speech at Varna, in Bulgs'
ria, in which he denounced NJ Sarafof,
former president Of the committee, AMI
the Macedonians as agitators, murderer'
and blackmaiers. Among other crimes
he accused them of kidnapping Miss E'en
NJ. Stone, the American missionary.
The Macedouians of Sofia held an indig-
nation meeting here today. Violent
speeches were made denouncing NJ. Mi
hialowski, and.M. Sarafof was eulogized
as the hero of Macedonian youth. This
incident is important as demonstrating the
schism in the Macedonian camp.
Reports received Eere today from Bub
nitza announce increased vigilance on the
part of the authorities and the police o
that place.
Bulgarian official circles are evidently
much impressed by the menacing attitude
of the United States Government in tht
Stone affair. They declare, however, thai
they are unable to do any more in th'
matter than they have done already.

Col. Watts had some men building a
line fence between the fam OF Bowen

and in some way became involved In a
quarrel with George Jones, who was help

sitting in his saddle George Jones struck
him with a post hole digger, knocking
him off his horse. After he had struck
the ground he was struck twice again, az
evidenced by the wounds on his head.
One of them being made by a rock lying
near by with blood and hair on it.
Col Watts was found lying in the field
east of his residence. with three large cuts
in his forehead, each one having crushed
through the skull.
The only ones present at the time OF the
murder we're: VIM. Jones, his sons
George and John, and Oscar Hedrick'

George Jones came to town on Friday
afternoon and surrendered to the sheriff.
under a plea of self-defense Warrants
were also issued for the arrest of VIM.
Jones and his son, John Jones, who were
placed IN jail to await the preliminary
hearing, which has been postponed until
after circuit court has adjourned.
The burial of Col. Watts from the resi-
dence, at p. m, was one of the largest
attended in the history Of the county.
