OF TERROR
NEGRO HOUSES AT TlBBiE ARE
FIRED UPON.
ONE NEGRO HAS BEEN KILLED.
Was Struck on the Head as He Walk
ed the Streets of Chester Few
Days Ago.

Colmesneil, Texas, Nov. 15.-lt has
been stated by several men who reside
near Chester, a station on the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas, twelve miles
from this place, that there seems to
be a reign of terror existing among
the colOred population in that vicinity,
especially at Tibbie, negro settle
ment five miles from Chester. The
trouble was caused from the death Of
q negro. It seems that some unknown
party hit him in the head with blunt
instrument while walking on the
street in Chester one day and he died
day or two afterwards from the eff
fects of the blow. This occurred about
four weeks ago, and since that time
it is alleged that several secret meet
ings have been held at Tibbie over the
affair Last Sunday night several of
the negroes homes in that settlement
were riddled with shot George Dee
son, the negro postmasters house,
was pierced with eighty balls; the
pillows on the bed were riddled. A
negro preachers home met the same
fate. The postmaster is reported to
be in Houston now to see if some
steps can be taken to protect him
from the violence of the unknown par
ties. King Renfro, the negro section
foreman near Chester, has resigned
his position and moved to Colmesneil,
and it is reported that several families
from Tibbie will move here in a few
days.

WEBER is HELD.
For Murder of Parents, ST. er and
Brother at Auburn, Ca.

Auburn, Cal: Adolph Weber has
been placed under arrest, charged
with the murder of his parents, sister
and young brother last Thursday
night, and with having set tie family
residence on fire afterwart to con-
ceal the crime. Weber took his ar
rest coolly. The arrest took place
Immediately after he had Lett the wit
ness stand and after he had reluctant
ly answered the questions asked by
Coroner Shepard, the district attor-
ney. and several of the jurymen.
The latest theory in the Weber
murder case is that the murderer shot
the father first, then as the sister ap-
peared in the hall he shot her and
then the mother, seeing what had
been done, she screamed and started
from him, when he shot her. She con-
tinued on across the room and, raising
her left hand, took down the telephone
receiver to call for help, at which
time she received the second shot,
which entered the body just under the
left arm. The child being the only
one left, the murderer struck him on
the head and felled him. The opera.
tor at the central telephone Office says
that the line to the Weber residence
showed busy" at about half hour
before the fire was discovered.
Adolphus Weber, in Jail, had moth.
ing to say beyond that he had a good
nights rest. No effort has been made
as yet to get the young man out on
writ by his attorneys.
Weber's description is said to tally
with that of the robber who recently
robbed the bank here.

fighting underground. The Russians
still hold parts Of the meats, but the
Japanese are engaged in sapping to
dislodge them, after which the capture
of the forts should be easy. The cas-
