PREACHERS AND CONVERTS KILLED
BY MEMBERS OF CHINESE SOCIETY.
Incidents of the Latest Boxer Upris-
ing Related i'm Letters by Amer
lean Missionaries.

NEW YORK, Aug. E-The Methodist
Mission Board has received by mail num-
Der of reports from it's agents in China con-
cerning the recent local uprisings In China.
Rev. Joseph Beech, of Chung-King. west
China, writes under date of June %: Word
has just been received from the Rev. w. E.
Manly and Rev. Spencer Lewis. superin-
tendent of the mission. who are in that
neighborhood, that the Red Lantern So
ciety, the local name for Boxers, has
burned the chapel at -Chiao and
killed the preacher and four other members.
The officials have endeavored to suppress
these Boxer practices and had previously
decapitated six and crucifed one. Through
this section there has been drought for a
considerable time, and this adds to the un-
rest We are confident the officials can
cope with it, but it may cause us much loss
in the outlying districts"
Under date of June so the Rev Mr. Beech
writes concerning the uprising in west
China: 'Since last writing more news of the
Boxer troubles has arrived. 1t indicates a
widespread movement, with increasing
power and violence In addition to the de-
struction of the -Ku-Chiao community.

Chico and Chen-Tu the extent of the trouble
is unknown, but letter from Brother Cady
states there is considerable alarm at Chen
Tu. but that the officials confident there
will be no serious trouble there. Through
out the country, however, there has been
widespread destruction already, and it is
probable that most of the Christians living
outside walled cities, comprising several
hundred persons, will lose all they have, if
not life itself. There are now very many
who have neither home, food nor clothing.
Brother Spencer Lewis is doing what he
can to assist them and has secured about
fifty taels from the officials for this pur-
pose Brother Lewis telegraphs that the
Boxers have been defeated. All is quiet
here and the officials seem confident that
the trouble will be confined to the country

Counselman had been together since the
formers disappearance from the Bartholin
home. Carney says that Bartholin came
to his saloon and waited for Counselman
until the latter had finished work for the
night and that the two men had long

''Then there is nothing irregular in

Late that night, Lingar and Johnson
were going over the books when a knock
came to the door of the bank. At sig

shadow entered. He had bandage over
one eye.
