WEIGH. w. Va, Dec. 22.-Wayne De-

three negroes to death in a saloon at
the mining town of Davy, this county
last evening. Yesterday was pay day
at the Davy mines and the negroes had
begun their holiday celebration. Drunk
enness was visible on every hand, ana
when about a dozen of the big blacks
entered Eugene Dyes saloon on the
leading street, re~volvers in hand, ana
demanded that all the whites within
retire, the trouble began. The bar
tender stepped into an adjoining room
for his revolver and all the other whites
save Demon made a run TO get away.
Demon, although being almost a total
stranger in the town, was nervy, n
refused to obey the demand TO depart.
Instead, he pulled his revolver and In q
twinkling he had shot three of the ne
groes to death ard h others were
falling over themselves to get away
In the excitement, Demon, whose home
is In Catlettsburg, KY, left the saloon
by a rear door, and up to a late noun
last night had not been captured. In
fact, but little effort is being made to
a%pprehend him. He is an assistant

PUBLICLY ATONE.
Chinese. Give Mnssncred Christians
n Remarkable Funeral.

N hensasAObie fuhtFhh'
Pekin, Dec. 22.-The officials of Tung
Chow have given a number of native
Christians who were m~assacred last
wear a remarkable funeral. This action
was taken in accordance with an
agreement between the missionaries
and the officials, by which the mission
aries were to refrain from demanding
the punishment of those guilty OF
murderng the Christians if the officials
would make public atonement for the
crimes and impress the people with
respect for missi onaries and converts.
The funeral procession traversed the
principal streets of the walled city OF
Tung Chow. There were seventy cof-
fms to be buried, and these were fol-
lowed by hundreds of relatives Of the
victims The procession was composed
Of a company of Chinese cavalry, a
company of infantry, several n
and hundreds of men carrying gaudy
funeral emblems. The procession took
two hours to pass the reviewing stand,
where were gathered the city officials.
Cen. Ma. commander of the Chinese
trops who besieged Tien-tsin; Mr..
Conger, American minister to China,
and many American and English mis-
~sionaries.
Ar immense crowd Witnessed the
funeral services at the cemetery. The
Chinese troops, the police and the
funeral attendants formed in a square,
with the officials, the missionaries and
thu whitehead mourners in the center,
near the graves. Chinese officials from
6fty villages where. the Christian con-
verts had been massaCred attended the
funeral. and bowed before banners, as
they ~eulogized the Christians for hay-
Ing died in defense of their faith.
These officials subsequently signed doc
uments guaranteeing protection to the
Chinese Christians if they would re-
turn to their homes.
The missionaries n the Chinese
Christians travelled in a special tran
from Pekin to Fung Chow. After the
funeral services IN the temple the Chi
nese officials rendered a banquet to the
missionaries and the converts. Similar

Charged With EmbezxIing Money

brary of "A Client.
After having been pending for over a
year, the trial of S. H. Wright, a prom
inent Centerville attorney, who is
charged with ~embezZling, is now in
progress in the state circuit court at
Sioux Falls. Judge l.. f. Gaffy, of the
Pierre court, is presiding. When the
case was called for trial, the attorneys
for the defense ttacked the informa-
ton under which Wright was originally
arrested, and moved for the discharge
of the defendant on the ground that the
records do not show that the defendant
was properly bound over by a justice OF
the peace, as provided by the statutes.
The papers referred to, as was stated
In these dispatches a Few days ago,
mysteriously disappeared from the rec
ords In the Office OF the clerk of the
courts. Judge Gaffy overruled the mo-
ton. holding that the time to nave
made the motion was before the de-
PENDANT had submitted his plea. The
case is attracting unusual interest. ow-
ing to the prominence of Mr.. Wright.
Every point is being bitterly contested.
The complaining witness is Mrs.
Charles Colvin OF Chamberlain, former
" superintendent of schools of Brule
county. She charges that the defend
ant embezzled sums of money belong
ing to her, which she had placed in his
hands for a certain purpose; further.
that he sold a law library belonging to
her, and made no accounting of the
money.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Close of Fall Term and Arrange

Close of Fall Term and
ments for the Future.
The fall term OF the agricultural coli
lege at Bookings has closed.
The terms work has been very salts
factory in every respect. The enroll
ment has been about 20 per cent larger
tha that of last fall. and good work
has been done in all departments.
In athletics a great deal has been
accomplished, in spite of the fact that
there was no trainer in charge. Sever
al of the track team have been doing
regular work, and the football team
probably has the best record yet made
by a South Dakota athletic college
team. Five games We're played with
other teams, three of which were won
and a very creditable showing made in
the others. A trainer has been ar
ranged for to take charge OF the ath-
letes for the rest of the year. and with
an excellent gymnasium for indoor
training and good material TO work
with, the prospects are good for retain
ing the athletic cup won at the state
meet last spring.
An intercollegiate DEBATE is being
arranged with the state university. to
occur some time next spring. The jun
Tor class has decided to publish an an
nual, which will be the first to be pub
lished by the college. and the different
literary societies and other student or
ganizations have met with fair success.
So that, while the college is, in its ma
ture, a technical school and offers many
advantages along those lines, yet the
endeavor of the state TO give a broad
foundation for such studies, and to
make culture as well as technical know
ledge possible, is meeting with de-
served success.
A large enrolment is looked for next
term. Besides the work offered in the
regular departments, special short
courses, beginning Jan. 2, will be Of
fered in the following departments:
Agriculture, horticulture. dairying, do
mestic science and practical steam en-
g,neering.

Safe Journey and Quick Rerurn
Manila, Dec. 22.-Over 1000 members
of the Federal party called on Gov.
Taft yesterday to bid him farewell and
to wish him a safe return. The gov
ernor addressed $50 OF the most prom
lnent of his visitors, saying that he was
touched and honored by their pres
ence. The organization, he added, had
done so much toward bringing about
peace and giving the country a stable
party that 1t argues more for the sue
cess of American labor than anything
else during the recent critical times.
The reports circulated in the United
States, founded on incidents connected
with the war in Batangas province and
the Island of Samar, the governor said.
tend TO convey a wrong impression of
the situation, which is really hopeful.
The military disaster in Samar had, he
said, created an unfounded feeling of
u~neasiness concerning the condition of
the people OF the rest of the archipela-
go. The war in Batangas and Samar.
kept up by misguided men, furnishes
the only obstacle to obtaining liberal
legislation on the part of congress.
