on the launch. One shot struck young
johnson In the back of the head, pene-
trati1rg the brain and coming out over
the left eye. He died two hours later,
never regaining consciousness. The
man who fired the shot was spotted
and afterwards hanged by the local
government authorities. Indemnify
was also demanded by this govern
ment, but the case is not settled vet.
Johnsons funeral was elaborate and
attended by full military honors. The
funeral was held In Santa Barbara ca
thedral Roy Dixie was one of the pail
bearers. The funeral was attended by
the American and German consuls.
Mr.. Dixie has many interesting rem
inascences to relate of his experience in
San Domingo. He has been at the
grave of Columbus, been thru the Old
tower at San Domingo, where Column
bus was confined before his removal
TO Spain. and has visited NEST OF the
historic old cathedrals in the province.
In many of the old castle towers, nladl-
