Shreveport, La, Special.-The body

thought to have killed his employer,
]. T. Watkins. Of Bayou Pierre. In
Red River parish, was found about 800
Yards from the scene OF the killing.
His head had been almost shot away.

CONSLAR PRISONERS
THREE ARE ABOARD HONG KONG
MARU EN ROUTE TO SERVE
TINE IN SAN QUENTIN.

Aboard the Hong Kong Maru are
three United States prisoners who are
being taken to the mainland to serve
terms of imprisonment. The trio is
being guarded by United States Dep
uty Marshal F. S. Jacott and are being
taken to San Quentin penitentiary, CAL
ifornia.
Langford and Ward are the names
of the two lesser culprits. They are
under sentence of two years each, for
robbery committed in Shanghai. The
other member of the trio is a Filipino
who was sentenced to serve Is years for
killing a Chinese, in Shanghai. Ward
and Langford would not have been sent
tn San Quentin, had they not given the
British authorities at Shanghai so
much trouble that the officials were
glad to get rid of them.
Both men broke Jail in Shanghai af-
ter their arrest. They were at large
some weeks, during which period the
entire police force of Shanghai was
trying to get trace of them. The pair
finally tired of being on the alert to
escape capture, SO they surrendered
themselves. The British authorities
declined to keep them any longer, so,
with the Filipino prisoner to be sent
across to California the other men
were given into the custody of Jacott
also.
All of the prisoners were convicted
before the United States consular court
at Shanghai. American citizens are
tried in these consular courts whenever
the particular offense for which they
are arrested, is committed within the
jurisdiction of the courts. In cases
where nominal sentences are imposed,
the consul makes arrangements with
local authorities to keep the prisoners.
With long termers and those convicted
of serious crimes, the prisoners are al
ways sent to San Quentin. These men
are not the first to be sent to America,
as several prisoners went through here
some months ago.

Seldom has 80 large a concourse of
persons assembled in Sullivan Coun-
ty as that which attended the funer-
ais of brakemen E. E. Darling and
Thomas Swank, whose funerals took
place at Sonestown on Thursday last.
The terrible accident which occas-
ioned their deaths and the populari-
ty of the two young men, who met
with such an untimelyI end, contri-
buted to swell the crowd W h un-
doubtedly surpassed any sii......I: as

1t has long been the expressed
thought of the summer boarder and
cottager that the "hoosiers" (mean-
ing the all-the-year-round residents
of Eagles Mere) crawl into their hole
as soon as the last city chap leaves
and slowly and quietly sleeps there
until said city chap comes rapping
at the door of Eagles Mere, in the
spring time when the flowers begin
to peep aud the little frogs have
ceased their creak. 1t must be con-
fessed that heretofore much could be
truthfully said of the quietness and
slowness of the Eagles Merchants
winter sleep, but this winter il sure
ly an exception for there has been
no gayer town of its size within for

the most attention of any one thing.
Aside from being unique in manner
OF construction it proves that the
builders were wide awake enough
to build something swift. Talk
about any one being asleep on that
slide! Why even the engineer and
crew OF the Eagles Mere Lightning
Express acknowledge it's swiftness.
They tried the "tobog" the otner
day and before half the distancs had
been had been past the engineer,

hooting out ''toot, toot, toot," for
