NEGRO IN MISSISSIPPI
BURNED AT THE STAKE

Gulfport, Miss, Nov. A negro
whose name has not yet been learned
was burned at the stake in Perry coun-
ty Mississippi, Sunday night. The
crime for which the negro was burned
was committed early in the morning
and Mrs. Fortenbury was the victim
She was the wife of one of the most
prominent citizens in that community
and was beaten into insensibnity by
the negro. After recovering conscious
ness and while almost too weak to
move she began crying for help.
When assistance reached her she told
the story of the crime and described
the negro. A posse was organized and
a negro answering the description
given by Mrs. FOrtenbury was caught
and identified by her. She stated pos
itively that he was the man who had
committed the crime. The negro then
made a confession, telling all the de
tails he had previously denied
An informal court was organized by
the members of the posse The trial
resulted in a decision to burn the ne
gro, who was carried from the house

eAMBLEp FoR a BRIDE.
Two Apache Braves Play Monte For .
Girl-Then Use Guns.
Cincinnati Enquir


Annie Red Buffalo is the daughter Of
a noted Apache medicine man. She is
worth $4,000 in her own right She
wears silks and diamonds. She rides
in a rubber-tired buggy. but she is one
of the most nOn-pTOgTeSSiVe and Sullen
members Of the tribe. She hates a
white person as did her forefathers
years ago. She Is said to have poi
soned several white men who have
wandered into her home at nightfall
seeking rest. Her home is situated in
the deep woods of Cache creek, not
far from the new town of Hobart. She
lives with her aged father and mother.
1t came to pass in the course Of
events and occurrences on the reserva-
ton this summer that Paul Eagle and
Jack Bear Robe fell in love with this
woman. Heretofore they had been the
best of friends. Young Eagle is an
Indian policeman, or was before his
death. He has been considered a pro
gressive young red by the officials Of
the agency, and was a good friend 30
the whites until he fell in love with
this young hater of palefaces. She
induced him to cast aside his star and
have nothing more TO do with the white
/ people. He followed her everywhere.
He and Bear Robe came to be enemies
of the worst kind. 1t was a matter
of general gOssip-this deep infatuation
of two men for one woman, a thing
seldom known among the Apaches.
/ Trouble was predicted from the first
Hence it was no surprise when Eagle
challenged his former friend to gamble
at monte for the girl.
Miss Red Buffalo was chosen by
both as dealer. and the game was a
drawing card for all the members Of
the tribe A few white DeODle ven
ruFed on the gambling ground, but
they were assured their presence was
not needed. The game lasted three
days, during which time neither could
beat the other so badly at the game as
to win favor in the eyes of the dealer.
She would withhold her decision when
one player nearly broke" his former
friend, and the same way when the
other succeeded in winning nearly out.
Then. cross from loss of sleep. the
young men agreed to shoot it out To
this the girl assented cheerfully.
Rifles were chosen, and the young
men stepped back thirty PAGES. At the
word fire, given by the woman. two
shots rang out on the night air. Eagle
| fell, pierced by the aSsasSins bullet.
The duel took place last Friday Bear
Robe was arrested and is now in Jail
at Fort Sill. It was not before the
young woman for whom he fought had
married him in most approved Apache
fashion. She says she viii spend her
fortune in having him cleared if pos
sible. She viii plead herself an Access
sorry to the crime in hopes of clearing
the man who won for her sake It is
a most approved romantic tragedy in
Indian circles, and is creating no end
Of excitement in the new country.

VOTE ON CHEAP
RATE FOR ELKS
Railroads Ballot On Half Rate
For Convention.
IMMENSE THRONG EXPECTED
Is FEARED ACCOMMODATIONS
WILL FALL SHORT.

Railroads all over the United States
are voting on the proposition to put in
a rate of one fare for the round trip
for the Elks national convention, to be
held in Salt Lake Aug II to IA of next
year. The Oregon Short Line, the Rio
Grande roads. and, in fact, all the
western roads are working hard for
the adoption of this rate X is their
desire to make this the biggest move
ment of passenger traffic in their his
tory.
There is every reason to hope that
the low rate will be put into effect, and
that there viii be a general pilgrimage
from all over the country to salt Lake
next summer. If these plans are car
ried out, there viii be two, three or
four times as many passengers carried
into Utah as has ever been the case at
big national gathering. The extreme
estimate of Epworth Leaguers pass
ing through Utah earlier this year was
10000. If the one fare for the round
trip goes into effect il is expected that
double that number OF Elks alone will
join in the pilgrimage to Salt Lake.
Added to this viii be the thousands of
persons who viii come for the trip,
actuated by a desire TO see the wonder
full scenery en- route, and the attrac-
tions of Salt Lake City
Already many persons are beginning
to doubt the ability Of the local hotels
TO take care of the great thrOng, es-
pecially since one of the hotels has
been closed. The railroads expect to
have their facilities taxed as never be-
fore, and railroad men, although con-
fident of their own ability to handle
the crowds, fear that there viii be a
multitude of persons disappointed on
account of a shortage of hotel ac-
commOdations.
This obstacle will he overcome in a
large measure by the plan to establish
an Elk eno7r-0- ~-+ Z fHa~tv park,
where a city of tents will be built.

Tess TO have the better of the situa-

of a legislature which viii choose a
United States senator to succeed
George Wellington, who was chosen as

The campaign. which is the shortest
on record, was marked BY an apathy
on the part of the voters that has
puzzled the leaders Of both parties and
left the result much in doubt.
In Baltimore city especially the sit
uetion is anything but clear. The Re
publican managers say they viii elect
he city ticket and viii carry all three
i legislative districts. They count upon
a large independent vote for their
ticket. The Democrats say that their
>eity ticket IS safe and that they viii
elect their legislative tickets in two
districts.
Ia the counties the outcome is also
exceedingly doubtful The Democrats
UnqUestiOnably believe that they viii
carry several Of the counties heretofore

this belief is largely based upon the ex-
