WANTS TO RETURN HOME.
Colored Minister Denies He Uttered
Statement Attributed to Him.

Rev r. r. Jones' colored pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Roanoke, Va, who
it Is alleged, was forced to leave the Vir-
ginia city by a mob because of remarks he
was alleged to have made concerning the
Shields assault, is in this city with his wife
They are living at 922 4th street northwest
Pastor Jones is anxious to return to his
home and congregation, where he has la
bored during the past twenty-five years
but has not yet determined what he will
do. He says he did nothing to merit the
treatment he received, and denies that he
even conducted services the Sunday he is
alleged to have made the Objectionable re-
marks.
Il desire to return to my home" he said
to Star reporter today. Il have never
met better class of people in my life than
I've met in Roanoke. The trouble / have
experienced over this thing 1 attribute
largely to people of my own color"
Since his arrival In this city, the pastor
said, he has been in communication with
state officials and others. He showed a
ger, father Of Mrs. Shields the woman
who was assaulted. in which the writer ex-
pressed himself as being satisfied of the
preachers innocence and said no member
tempt to harm him should he return to the
city of Roanoke He would not advise the
minister what to do in the matter.
Mar. Jones says ne has been advised by
officials and others not to return for a few
days. The feeling in Roanoke, he has been
told, is quieting down, and it will be safe for
him to go home little later He says he
has no idea of returning before the execu-
ton of the man who is under sentence
Even after had been told that the mob
intended visiting my house." the minister
said today, i had no Idea that they would
come. During the day / was about Roanoke
and it was not until after o'clock in the
afternoon that / was advised of the feeling
against me. After supper / went into the
city and saw Sergeant Manuel and told him
of what had been told me, and informed
him that l wanted to see the mayor He
told me to 30 home, keep quiet and return
in the morning On my way home heard
the mob shouting and shooting and when
the crowd got within two blocks of my
house / departed
Some things were said and done there at
my house which / do not care to discuss at
this time. as contemplate returning there
In letter l sent to the mayor / told him
the world will know all about il should
decide to remain away from my home"
In this connection he said he had CORE
sponded with some of the best lawyers in
the state and was informed that he could
enter suit against the parties for trespass
II he could have the people who entered his
house identified. Only one shot was fired
after the mob reached his house, he said,
and the bullet went through the window.
In conclusion, the minister said he was
opposed to violations of the laws of the
sign petition asking the legislature to
enact law providing the death penalty
for any one convicted of concealing the as
sailant of a woman.

In report published by the Department

that as far exports from this district to

here is as yet in its infancy. it is turning
out fabrics comparing most favorably with
the best qualities made in Germany The

Perished on the Desert.

Salt Lake. Jan. 81. The bodies of
between twenty and thirty men who
perished from thirst while attempting
to cross the desert between Moabpa
and Las VaRas. New, have been found
within a few weeks. according to ad-
vices received from the latter place.
The men, it is believed, were mostly
tramps who ATTEMPTED to make the
long journey on foot without sufficient
supplies of food and water to carry
them across. Many of the bodies
found were without clothing, and it
is believed that the victims had gone
insane from thirst and had wandered
about in nude condition in search
of water.
Some of the victims are supposed
to have drunk water from .'Dead
Man well' which is located almost
in the center of the desert. The water
from this we'll while temporarily allie
Waiting thirst, is sure death to those
who drink it.

Struck a Snag.

The surveyors of the Moffat line
lave struck snGg in Routt county.
Colorado. in the shape of a Gross
Mountain canyon, which to date has
been entered and passed through by
less than twenty persons. Engineer
@. c. Conkle and friend attempted
the passage last week and while the
husky friend gave it up as too diff
cult, Conkle, wiry little fellow. went
through safely. If this route which
is directly in the line of survey. is
chosen the track will be built at the
foot of a perpendicular cliff for a dis
tance of thirty miles. 1t is thought,
however. that the engineers will not
use the canyon, but swing the road
either north or south.
