Rumble and Hutton were arrested
Hutton's home is in Kansas City, Kan.
Rumble and Hutton were intoxicat-
ed. They entered the Kentucky house
and walking over to the desk told EN-
cry to hand over his money. No guests
were in the lobby at the time. Emery
told them to get out, that he had no
money.
The men staggered from the desK
apparently to make their departure.
When they reached the door. how
ever, Rumble braced himself against
the negro and with a shaky hand fired
two shots at the hotel proprietor.
Guests rushed into the lobby ana
found Emery dead, lying across the
hotel register, which was spread open
on the clerks desk. One bullet from
Rumble's revolver went wild. The
second had pierced Emery's chest just
below the heart causing almost in
slant death.
Rumble and Hutton fed down the
rear stairway. There they encoun-
tered Simon, the porter, who had been
attracted by the shooting and was
just ascending the steps. Rumble fired
a shot at Simon that struck the porter
in the shoulder and the two robbers,
having pushed by him, bolted for the
street. The police station is situated
Immediately across the street from
the hotel and officers were on the
scene a minute or two after the first
shot rang out. Rumble and Hutton
were seen by the officers on Minnesota
avenue a block from the hotel and
gave chase, firing as they ran. One
bullet struck Rumble glancing blow
on the cheek and caused the molder,
because of his drunken condition, to
stagger and fall. Hutton stopped run
ming when he realized that Rumble
had been shot and the pair were soon
landed in Jail.

San Francisco Committee Puzzled to
Know What to Do with 1t.

With 100000 still on hand to be
devoted to the relief of refugees, it is
stated the relief committee has held
Francisco, Cal, to determine what
shall be done with this money. 1t is
claimed the directors of the relief

except in such cases as can be taken
care of by regular charity organiZa-
tons.
The establishment of a $4,000, 900
hospital or turning the money over to
regular charity organizations has been
suggested. AS the wishes of the do
nors of the relief fund may have to be
consulted, no decision has been arriv-
ed at by the relief committee.

African Manioc.
The native food of the Malunda
country, in southern Africa, comprises
manioc, and that alone. 1t is a plant
particularly adapted to wet, marshy
soil, says the author of "En Remotest
Barotseland." 1t takes two years to
arrive at maturity, and while growing
requires very little attention.
The root when full-grown is about
the size, and has very much the APP
pearance Of a German sausage, al
though at times it grows much larger.
One shrub has several roots, and the
extraction of two or three in no way
impairs the growth Of the remainder.
When newly dug it tastes like
chestnut. and the digestion of the pro-
verbal ostrich can alone assimilate it
raw; but when soaked in water for a
few days until partly decomposed,
dried on the roofs Of the huts and
stamped, it forms delightfully."- white
soft meal, far whittier and purer than
the best -four. Then it is beaten into
a thick paste and eaten with a little
favoring, composed of a locust or a
caterpillar which the natives seek in
decayed trees.
Another way Of eating this native
luxury is by baking the roots, after
soaking them, and eating it as you
would banana. Taken as a whole, it
forms the best all-the-year-round ma
tive food; but I should advise all in
tending consumers to abstain from any
other food for three or four days be-
fore giving 1t a prolonged trial.
