One cup of sauce means one cup of

little new onions is to boil them and
serve them On toast, similar to aspara-

Stir all sauces with wooden spoon

After boiling ham let it cool In the

They We're Not Indians.

1t is said that when the first Chinese
came to California the Indians were
very curious about them. A dispute
arose among some of them as to whaN
country the strangers might hail from
and whether or not they We're Indians.
The Indians. wise as the Puritans of
old, decided to apply the water test.
If the accused swan, they were
witches; If they drowned, they were
innocent.
One day Il party of Indians met n
party of Cinnamon approaching lit
tie stream. The strangers approached
the bridge and started across The In
dians, too, filed across and, meeting
the Cinnamon in midstrcam, pushed
two of them into the angry, spooming
current below. The test was conclu-
sive. They could not swim. They
were not Indians.

to be rare treat to those who are
fortunate enough to be in attend

such names as Prof. Frank Cole

the greatest wrestler at that
weight that ever lived. Terry Mus

already made quite an impression
with the local lovers of physical
culture. Rem Moore, of Dunlap,
brother of our local champion will
wrestle with talent either from
Omaha or the Valley. There
will be two or three entries
from Dunlap. 1t is possible
that Prof. Coleman will bring
some talelt from Logan 10 lend q
helping hand. And as Prof. Rob-
nson stated today, the best of
feeling exists between the Logan
and Valley boys, 80 it is to be
hoped that there will be at least
one number on the program rep
reseating Logan.
The go between LeBron and
Mustine should be one worth going
miles to see. LeBron has made
himself very popular here, due of
course to the great showing he
made while scoring his recent VIC
tory. In speaking of LeBron to-
day Prof. Eddie Robinson said;

him to forsake that profession for

FOSTER MURDER
 MAY BE AVENGED
Posses Still Securing Country
 for Edwards, His Slayer
FOSTER BURIED YESTERDAY
His Funeral Was Largely Attended. The Negro Prisoners Removed to Benton for Safe Keeping, But
 They May Be Lynched.

Shreveport, La, June H.-The funeral of John Gray Foster, the popular planter, ho was killed on his plantation by Prince Edwards, a negro, on Wednesday last, occurred this afternoon and was largely attended. A majority of the business houses of Shreveport closed in order that their employees might attend the funeral. Among those present were Governor Mc- Millin of Tennessee and Mrs. McMilin, a sister of the murdered man. Mrs Mo Millin is bearing up wonderfully well un- der the trying ordeal.
 The score of negroes under arrest charged with complicity in the murder of Foster, have been successfully removed to the parish jail at Benton, and there is no further fear of mob violence. Edwards, who did the killing, is still at large and posses continue in the field securing the country in every direction in, hope to apprehend the murderer. If caught Ed wards will be summarily dealt with. The excitement of yesterday and last night has been almost wholly allayed and so far as the negroes now under arrest are concerned no further trouble is an- ticipated.

AMERICAN SHOT.
He Was Leader of a Gang Who Looted
 In Mexico.

Chicago, June 15.-A special to the Chronicle from Fl Paso, Texas, says:
 Samuel Baca, an American citizen, has been shot by the military authorities of Chihuahua, Mexico. He was extradited last April for leading a gang of raiders into Mexico, where they committed one of the most brutal crimes known in the annals of the border. They tortured Mexican merchant and compelled him to reveal the hiding place of his money. They scared his flesh with hot irons and mutilated him. There was six men In the band and after finishing with the man they treated his pretty wife in horrible manner.
 Baca was captured in Texas and sur rendered by the state department to Mex ico. He was tried at Chihuahua, found guilty and sentenced to be shot. Last Monday morning at daybreak he was led from his cell to the Patio in the interior of Chihuahua prison. squad of ten picked men under command of lieuten- ant had already been drawn up in line. At the command of the lieutenant the ten fired as one, and the body of Baca, the Texan, toppled over and lay upon the ground riddled with bullets.
