THE NEGROES FORTIFIED
Posses Of City ms Have Set Out for Their
Camp on Bruce's Island and
Bloody Fight is
Expected.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Fort Smith, Ark, Aug 1S.-The kid
mapping of young white girl and the kill
ing of one of a posse that tried to rescue
her are the crimes charged against par
ty of eight negroes tonight fortified on
Bruce's Island, sixteen miles west of this
city. 1t is feared their capture will lead
to bloody encounter. The negroes are
said to be we'll armed.
A few days ago two farmers living near
Wilson's Rock landed on Bruce's Island
in search of plums, and accidentally
ran into a camp in which there were two
negro men and white girl about twelve
years old. They made some inquiries
about the girl and the negroes said she
travelling with them and who had gone to
Fort Smiht for provisions.
The negroes would not let the girl take
part in the conversation and this aroused
suspicion. A watch was kept on the ne
groes for two days, but no white man APP
peared.
Monday afternoon a party of farmers
decided to investigate the case, and as
they neared the island, were fired on by
the negroes, and one of the party, Roland
by name, was killed. A sharp fight was
kept up for some time, during which the
girl escaped from the negroes and ran to
the white men. She was so excited that
she could not give any intelligent account
of herself. She said, however that her
father was not travelling with the negroes
but that she had been stolen from her
homo near Fort Gibson, /. T. She has
been taken to Muldrew.
Roland, the dead man, was a compare
tive stranger at Wilson's Rock.
Posses of citizens left today for the
scene of the trouble from Fort Smith,
Spiro, Muldrew and Fort Gibson. There
is much excitement around the island.
One or two of the negroes are known to
be desperate characters

The veterans were not in line, their pro-
cession being scheduled for tomorrow,
but many allied organizations participant

serves, the Veterans of the Spanish-Amer-
lean War, and the National Guard of Cal
ifornia. The regular army was well repre-
sented The Order of Red Men, which was
largely represented, added picturesque
feature in the display. The German
societies of the city, including amateur
~athletes and children from the various
Turner Schools, made a splendid showing,
as also did the league of Cross Cadets.
Generals Miles and Shafter were greeted
with cheers along the line of march, which
included the city's chief thoroughfares.
All opposition to General Black for
commander-in-chief has vanished with the
announcement by Lieutenant General Mel
son A. Miles that he will not oppose Gen
eral Black and his election by acclamation
is expected The same compliment for

Kentucky Young Woman Turns
Down a Job at Arkansas City.

Arkansas City. Kan. Oct. 3.-Ever
since the city schools opened there has
been a shortage of teachers and nearly
every teacher who proved that she was
capable of holding the job was given A
position.
Miss Georgia Grimes. of Paris, KY,
applied by letter for a position and was
told to come on and she would be given
a school. She arrived here yesterday
accompanied by her father. Miss Grimes
was given her choice of three rooms and
looked them over. 1t so happened that
in each of these rooms there was col
ored scholar or two. and that this was
too much for the Kentuckians. The
father at once refused to allow his
daughter to teach in a mixed school.
They were informed that in Kansas
there is no law authorizing the separa-
ton of the two races and that if she
wanted to teach school in Arkansas
City she would have to accept things as
they We're found. The father, who is
J. 3. Grimes, of Paris, KY, said that
if his neighbors in his own state ever
found that his daughter was teaching
little negroes he would be a social out
cast and his position in society in Ken
lucky demanded that she give up the
position. In all the correspondence be
tween the young lady and the school
board no mention was made of the col
ored children in the school.
The father and daughter left for
home this morning.

Play of Both Sides.

Boston, Oct 3.-The Boston Ameri-
cans evened I'D their initial defeat by
shutting out Pittsburg to in the
second of the series for the worlds
championship. Dineen pitched one of
the best games of his career and Pitts
burg could not hit his terrific speed
and sharp curves. He gave the out
felders only two chances and the in
fielders few that were. not difficult
The National team got but three hits
and only five men reached first base
out of the q who faced Dineen.
Lever started in to pitch for Pitts
burg. He was hit freely and Vail re-
placed him after the first inning. Bar
ring wildness Vail pitched cleverly. al
though his support extricated him from
several awkward situtions.
The batting of Dougherty was the
feature of Boston's attack. He drove
out long hit in the first inning which
he converted into home run by fast
sprinting. In the sixth inning he tied
the record of Hickman, now of CleVe-
land, by driving the ball over the left
field fence an extremely long distance
on the Boston grounds BoSton's sec
ond run was scored on a double by
Stahl and single by Freeman in the
first inning.
Pittsburg's best opportunity for scor-
ing occurred in the fourth inning, wher
a pass. a single and virtual sacrifice
put men on second and third. with pui
one out. Wagner drove a terrific liner
to Ferris, who held it and completed ar
unassisted double play.
