BLEW OFF A MANS HEAD.
Murder Done by an Old German Set
tier in Missoula County,
Montana.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont, May 21.-one Of the most.
shocking murders ever committed In Mis-:
soula county occurred in Center City last
night, when Victor Janjean, a German rs
years old, blew off part of the head from
William Phernnetton, firing a. shotgun at
close range. The shooting appears to have
been over a very trivial affair, and while
the old German says he shot in self
defense the surrounding circumstances
are rather peculiar.
Janjean, when interviewed at the county
Jail, said he was taking his supper about
s o'clock, when he heard a noise outside
his cabin, and asked Alphonse Laurence,
who lived with him, to step out and see
what 1t was. Laurence came back and
said 1t was a man who talked English and
he could not understand him. Janjean
went out and ordered the man to leave,
and told him If he did not he would turn
the dog on him.
The man replied that he was not afraid
Of the dog or him either. The old German
again ordered him away whereupon, he
says, the man picked up stick Of wood,
and he In turn stepped into his cabin and
secured his shotgun and went outside the
door again and again ordered Phernnetton
to leave. Instead Of doing so, Janjean
says Phernnetton drew back his club as
tho to strike him. and he then shot him
down. 6
| Laurence, who was also placed In the
county jail was interviewed by means of
an interpreter and corroborated the old
Germans story. Janjean surrendered to
the police after the shooting The coro-
/ ner is holding an inquest this afternoon.

neighborly discourse.
Since that time the occa sion has been
observed and has grown in popularity and
interest not only with the reservation peo-
ple6but with the whites OF the surround
ing country who look forward to the event
with increasing enthusiasm and interest.
OF late years it has become customary for
the Chippewas to invite their once hated
foes, the Sioux, to come and participate
in the feast Of good cheer and smoke
the pipe Of peace. It is an interesting
sight to witness the unique peace meet
ing" of several hundred painted and be-
feathered braves, as was their wont in
days gone by, when the CORY scalp clock
was the coveted trophy of the warrior.
The ningling together Of the races in the
customary games. dances and feasting
forms a novel and fascinating feature of
the occasion. The birch-ba canoe races,
lacrosse and other native games are like
wise very interesting.
This Years.
This years celebration is creating a
greater degree of interest than ever be-
fore, owing to the fact that the governor
and lieutenant governor of the state will
be present and address the people on
June Is and Is, the dates appointed.
Thee. H. Beaulieu, president, Julius
Brown, secretary, and B. S. Fairbanks,
treasurer comprise the board Of directors
for the present year, and they are sparing
no pains to make the occasion one of in
terest, pleasure and amusement.

RACE WAR IN MISSOURI
WHIPPING OF THREE NEGROES
 THE CAUSE.
Much Excitement Prevails and a Serious Clash is Feared--Two Women Were in Trio Casti-
 gated by Committee.

Fayette, Mo. Feb. 9.-A race war has been started as the result of the public whipping of three negroes, two of them women, on the court house steps Friday night. A committee of the Law and Or der League took three negroes from their homes and whipped them publicly for alleged misconduct. Since then the ne- groes and white people have been at swords points and 1t Is said twenty-five negro families have been frightened into leaving this vicinity.
 The recent killing of Harry o'Donnell. reputable citizen. was charged to me- groes and did much to stir up enmity The whites have openly threatened to battle with the negroes and drive them from Fayette.
 The negro man who was whipped Fri day night made a desperate resistance. When the ordeal was ended the negro was so weak from loss of blood that he was put to bed instead of being driven from town. The women. who were not whipped so severely. were taken to the outskirts and told to go.
 There is much excitement and a clash Is feared.

PROTEST AGAINST SHOOT.
Fight Against His Taking His Seat
 is Begun.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Senator Burrows chairman of the Committe on Privileges and elections, has received protest against the seating of Reed Shoot as a Senator from Utah on the ground that he ia an apostle of the Mormon Church, ana that as such he should not represent the people of Utah In the Senate.
 The document is voluminous and quotes literally from sermons, speeches and oth- CT Mormon utterances showing the pow CT of the priesthood of the Mormon Church over matters spiritual and tenn poral.
 Senator Frye. as President pro tenn of the Senate. received a copy of the pro- test.
 It was decided by Senators Burrows and Frye not to present the protest to the Senate until Shoots credentials were presented, when both would be referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions.

It shows that fifteen of the signers are Re- publicans and four Democrats. In occu- patton the list included railroad. mining men, bankers. editors. preachers, two for mer Mayors of Salt Lake City and law yers and teachers.
