 Mai. Leach. of the engineers. com manded the force which was guarding an important depot of supplies at Fort Riley.

CoId-BIooded Murder.

Tom Porter, colored laborer, was murdered in cold blood by Will Lee, also colored. in restaurant at Little Rock The killing was witnessed by a number of negroes who were in the restaurant at the time, eating supper According to their story it was wholly unproyoked, Porter not even knowing Lee, and he did not speak word to him. before Lee stabbed him in the neck with, supposedly, a pocket knife. Further inquiry developed the fact that there was woman in the case, though Porter was by no means to blame. When Porter returned to the restaurant from work he went to the kitchen to wash his face The girl with whom Lee was enamored was in the kitchen and Porter spoke to her in friendly way. This angered Lee who. without word of warning. stuck his pocket knife into Porter s throat
