His Career Ended in Jail.

Sheridan. Wyo., Sept. f5.-Henry
Shredder, a saloon keeper at Dayton,
was shot and killed, and Edward Sinms,
his bar tender, seriously injured by Jack

a livery stable to saddle a horse for
him and he rode away. A posse of citi-
zens overlook Hanley, who refused to
surrender Hanley was captured after
his horses had been shot from under
him and his leg broken by a bullet fired
by the posse. He was brought here and
placed in Jail.

President D. c. Packard of the Denver
team that the report that the recent
Cincinnati meeting had awarded certain
players now with the minor leagues to
the major leagues. claiming them. was
inaccurate. The question of claims to
players did not come up in the meeting.

I Iropkesy that both the President
and the National Committee will soon
grow heartily sick of this young turn
coat, for, false to one party, how can
he be expected to be true to anybody.
May that consummatiOn be haStened,
fol when it eventuates the eyes of all
will be opened to the loyalty, sterling
worth and deserts of Mr.. E. H. Deas,
the true and tried chairman of the
State Republican committee, whose
friends are legion and whose subordi-
nation to convert of yesterday has
aroused their righteous Indignation,
both on his personal account and on
account of the marked detriment to
the partys interest in the State.
This communication is somewhat
lengthy, but in justice to Mr. Deas and
the thousands of friends he has, not
only in South Carolina, but through
out the country, | ask it's publication
in full. Very respectfully,
A SOUTH CAROLINIAN.

A CHICAGO PETTIFOGGER.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 19, 1908.
Editor of The Colored American.
Dear Sir: I have been a subscriber
to your paper for nearly six years and
1 cannot help admiring the manly
stand it takes on all questions and it's
advanced ground on all public meas
ures. The COlored American is a bea-
con light to the race and l am pleased
to state that through my humble eff
forts a large number of the best peO-
pie of Chicago are reading it.
| write this letter, however to call
your attention to the antics of Fred
Barnett and his wife l see frequent
mention of you in their paper pub
lished in this city. and to one who does
not know you it would appear that you
had horns and were the old scratch"
himself l remember you when quite
a young man, as the founder of the
first illustrated colored newspaper, The
Indianapolis Freeman, and when l
heard that you had established The
COlored American in Washington l
sent in my subscription promptly.
The BarnettS draw very little water
in this town, and Fred Barnett has a
reputation for truth and veracity that
is most unsavory. Not long ago he
sued the eloquent young Jim Porter
for libel. Mr.. Porter called Mr.. Bar
nett a pettifOgger' in an article in
one of the local newspapers, and when
Mr.. Barnett sued him Mr.. Porter did
not do a thing but get our great law
yer, Hon. E. H. Morris, who went into
court with the case and proved to the
judge and jury that Mr. Barnett was
not only ''pettifogger" but a scoun-
drel as well. The case was dismissed
and it was great victory for Mr.. Por-
ter.
Mr.. Barnett has robbed more poor
laboring men and women out of their
homes and valuables entrusted to him
than any other lawyer in Chicago.
Railroad pOrters who purchased lots
through him and who sent him mon
ey from distances to make payments
on their lots found when they returned
TO Chicago that their lots had been
sold for taxes and that Barnett had
not paid one penny on them. 1 can
furnish you a list of names of these
parties if you wish them; one (Henry
Forrest) lives in your city now.
AS for Mrs. Barnett, she has been in
every red record and agitation move
ment that has existed during the past
fifteen years. She has always managed
TO get on the payroll and in position
where she could handle and spend all
Of the money. She did this in the
Afro-Ame1can Council and would have
done this in the Woman's League but
they would have nothing whatever to
do with her. Unless she can run an
affair she will try to ruin it, as she
and her husband are now trying to do
against the Afro-American Council,
against DR.. Booker T. Washington, the
greatest man the race has produced,
against DR.. w. d. Crum. and many
aspiring young men.
They are despised in Chicago, and
but for their scavenger of a newspaper
which they use to throw dirt on re-
spectacle people they would not be
heard of in this city. In my next let
ter | will tell you more about the Bar
-netts, and especially of Mrs. Barnett
and some of the disrespectable deal
ings in which she has been engaged in
this city. Yours very truly,
NOAH D.SMITH,

The Japanese believe in moro myth ical creatures than any other people on the globe. civilized or savage. Among these are mythical animals without any remarkable peculiarities of con formation. but gifted with supernatu- ral attributes. such as the tiger which Is said to turn as white as polar bear on the date of his one thousandth birthday. They also believe in spe cles Of fox which lf he lives to be fifty years old without having been chased by dog transforms itself Into a beau tlful woman. This same fox. II he can manage to live for a century, gains ad- ditional powers such as becoming Q wonderful wizard. etc. When be lives Co be 1000 years old. he becomes Q celestial fox" with nine golden tails, and has the power of going Co heaven and returning whenever he chooses.
 These Japs also believe in a multi tude of animafs distinguished by theif monstrous size or by the multiplication of their numbers. Among these are serpents 500 feet long and large enough to swallow an elephant boxes with eight legs, monkeys with four ears and seven tails; fishes with ten heads attached to one body, the flesh of this last monster being a sure cure for bolls. bites of poisonous serpents. hydrophobia, etc.
