CHINAMAN KILLED
FOR HIS MONEY
MURDER WAS A BRUTAL ONE.
SKULL CRUSHED AND BODY COVER
ED WITH WRAPPING PAPER

Charlie Yee, Keeper of Grocery
store in Augusta, Was the Victim.
Piece of Railroad Iron Used in the

mans Savings Were Not DiscOv-
cred by the Murderer, Who Rihed
the Cash Drawer.
Augusta, Jan. 3O.-Charlie Yee, a
Chinaman keeping a grocery store at
the corner of Jones and FIFTEENTH
streets, was found murdered in his
store this afternoon.
The murder was a most brutal one.
The man was found lying in the mid
die of the floor, his skull having been
crushed with a piece of railroad iron
and the remains covered with wrapping
paper. The front door was barred and
the window curtains were drawn.
This afternoon Saloonkeeper Con-
fl1rey. desiring to purchase something
from the store, went there and found
the door barred, and the curtains
drawn. 1t was unusual for the store
to be closed at that time of the day,
and when the entrance was forced, the
murder was discovered. The cash
drawer had been rified, but the China
mans savings, over $50, were found by
the officers in a tin box, secreted in the
bed, where they escaped the thief and
murderer.

me relief; that encouraged me and I

the soil is adapted are to be put in gen
eral charge OF the work of cultivation.
Everything that capital and good
management can provide 20 promote
the success of the enterprise Will be at
its command. Mr.. Hunt recognizes,
however, that the big problem he mas
to solve is that Of colonizing the coun-
try. of teaching and inducing the scat
tered tribes to settle down to system
attic industry. He has an interesting
plan for obtaining colonists from the
United States which has already been
the subject for newspaper comment,
but which. owing to it's premature and
unauthorized publication, has been
grossly misrepresented. His idea is
that the best possible population for the
Soudan would be the thrifty class of ne
gro farmers from the Southern states
of this country who are familiar with
the culture of cotton, sugar cane, and
other products for which the soil and
climate of that region are adapted.
Interested Booker Washington.
When in the United States
a few months ago he met Booker 7.
Washington for the purpose of enlist
ing his assistance in procuring emf
grants of this class. Some indefinite
information about his plans reached
the newspapers and the plan was de-
scribed as a scheme for wholesale de-
portation. SO many emigration
schemes of an impracticable character
have been presented that there is a
natural assumption that every sug-
gestion of emigration for the negroes
is impracticable.
To what extent Mr. Hunts plan is
practicable remains to be seen, but
his proposal is not to be confused with
the philanthropic dreams that have
had for their purpose solving the race
problem in the United States. His is
a cold business proposition. The great
difficulty he will have to contend
against is the natural preference of the
negro to live among white people and
work for them rather than go off and
flock with his own kind and work for
himself Mr.. Hunt, however, appre-
ciates the lack of initiative and his
plan contemplates assistance and SUI
pervision, but the utilization of the
negros knowledge of cotton culture
and his good qualifications for work
in the tropics.

Belford, Ind, Jan. 30.-The court of
inquiry investigating the Schafer muir
der to-day heard more evidence on the
letters received by Miss Schafer. One
of the witnesses declared that dozens
of times after school closed at noon,
Miss Schafer ran to her room for her
mail, eagerly read the letters and i'm
mediately destroyed them.
Conductor Moore of the Monon told
the detectives of a strange passenger
he carried on his train which left Bed
ford for Louisville the morning after
the murder. This passenger was tall
man, with steel gray eyes, reddish
moustache. He seemed excited. This
description fits the man who left the
Park Hotel suddenly the morning after
the murder.
The report of the Louisville expert
who made an examination of the hairs
found clutched in the hand of the dead
girl, has been received here in official
form for record. The expert finds that
the hairs were torn from the head of
d human being, no doubt a man, who
