Four hundred men and women on
horses. with twenty stag-hounds and
at least 100 persons in carriages and
carts. participated In the long-antici-
pated coyote roundup east OF Evans
to-day. After an eventful chase the
riders closed in on thirty-five coyotes
and twenty-six of these were roped. or
run down by the dogs and dispatched.
No firearms were permitted. which ac-
counts for not all of the animals being
slain.

few riders started in pursuit DR.. Lup-
ers deg succeeded in capturing the

American unlversI,lea Excel.

Berlin. Jan. 19.-German scholars
are beginning to give unusual atten-
ton to American intellectual progress
Professor WetZ of Freiburg Univer-
sity, comparing the scientific develop
ment of Germany and the United
States. says the real American danger
exists in intellectual rather than eco.
nomic things. The foremost Amerl.
can universities, he points out, are now
better equipped than the German uni.
versities for comprehensive training.
and the munificent gifts from private
individuals for libraries. museums, lab
oratories and professorships supply
the American professors with facilities
for instruction superior to those of
their German colleagues. Therefore
Germany is in danger of being sur
passed by the United States in intel
lectual development.

.FAULTLESS WAS
ASSASSIN'S AIM,
Young Farmer of Weston Is
Killed.
TRAGEDY IN WEBSTER COUNTY
Swami, Young Farmer, is Shot Dead
by a Negro MarceIlus Potter, Who
Escaped-TroubIe Resulted from
Cotton Settlement.

A bloody tragedy was enacted near
Weston in Webster county at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning when MarceIlus
Potter, a negro farm hand, shot and
instantly killed Mr.. Swami, we'll
known young farmer by whom the ne
gro was employed.
The homicide aroused the greatest
indignation there.
The negro, upon seeing that his vic
tim was dead, took to his heels. he
was pursued as soon as posse could
be organized, coming in the direction
of Americus.
The Times Recorder received partic-
ulars of the tragedy, as did Sheriff Bell,
who was advised to lookout for Potter
as he came in this direction Chief
Feagin and the entire police depart
ment likewise kept close watch for
the murderer last night.
The homicide resulted in a disagree
ment over a settlement.
The men were out in a field, it is
said, the negro armed with a shotgun,
and this he used with fatal effect. Mr..
Swami, it is said, died instantly from
his wounds.
He was young man of exemplary
character and his tragic death aroused
righteous Indignation. Mr.. Swarm was
a young man and unmarried. He had
long resided in the Weston neighbor-
hood and was held in high esteem
among his friends.
Posse Closed on Potter.
Marcellus Potter may have been
Iynched last night for the killing of
Mr.. Swami.
A telephone message received at s
p. m, stated that the pursuers had sur
rounded Potter in house. Sheriff
Montgomery was then going post haste
to the scene to arrest the negro and
afford him protection from the mob.
Unless the officer arrived in time the
negro may have stretched hemp al
ready.
