Wynee, Ark, March 14.-Five de-

Ku-Klux here and 10 members of the
band placed under arrest. The men
in custody are in danger of lynching.
Two hundred negroes are fleeing to
places of safety.
For two weeks the county has been
in reign of terror over the riotous
acts of a mounted band of despera-
does who have been riding over the
country at night and firing volleys of
buckshot into the homes of both
whites and negroes. This rioting
was caused by an attempt to drive all
the negroes out of the county and
has caused over 200 of them to aban-
don their homes and flee for their
lives. Warnings were posted on trees
and houses and the negroes were
given a limited time in which to
leave.

TRAGEDY IN BUFFALO.
ment and Kills Arthur r.. PEN
nell-Wife Dies of Injuries.

Buffalo, N. Y, March 1.-THE de-
velopments in the series of tragedies
following the murder of Edwin L. Bur-
dick were the death of Mrs. Arthur
r. Pencil from injuries received in
the automobile accident in which her
husband was instantly killed, and the
discovery by the police that the death
of Mr.. Pennell was unquestionably the
result of an accident.
Mrs. Pencil died at the hospital
without regaining consciousness from
the injuries she received in the fright
full plunge of her husbands automo-
bile from the street to the jagged
rocks at the bottom of the old stone
quarry, 80 feet below.
Some persons expressed the belief
that Pennell drove the motor into the
quarry with the deliberate purpose of
killing himself and his wife. This
theory is now known to be unfounded,
as it has been definitely established
that the brakes on Pencils automo-
bile were firmly set when the plunge
to death occurred. Two grooves were
cut into the earth between the curb
and the cliff, showing that the brake
was locked and the wheels, instead of
revolving, had plowed their way
through the mud.

st. Petersburg, March 13.--By de-

pressive laws which have weighed so

While no specific mention is made of
the Jewish faith, the language of the
decree granting freedom of creed and
worship to all of our subjects of 9TH

ers of that belief.
The decree does not deal with re-
ligion alone, but announces a pur-
pose to establish measure of local
self-government. 1t is hailed by the
people as long step in the direction
of those reforms which have been so
eagerly sought.
