be persuaded to come to st. Johnsbury.
Possibly repairs to the main entrance
and the foyer can be made at this time,

porter for this paper. "oh. l don't

Killed by Highbinders.

Oakland, Cal, Jan. 12.-One Chi
nese was killed and four wounded in
a Highlander outbreak in Chinatown
last night. The trouble opened with
the assassination of Lee Book Dong. a
capitalist. Dong was shot while he
was seated at the supper table in his
home on Harrison street.
Two Chinese Fired Shots.
Two Chinese we're admitted to the
where Dong was eating, and
each fired one shot from a revolver
and disappeared. Both bullets struck
Dong and he died almost instantly.
A short time later the fusilade com
menced in the Chinese quarter.
Signal for a Battle.
The killing of Dong seemed to have
been the signal for general battle.
Before the shooting ceased four Chi
nese had been shot and more or less
seriously injured. The outbreak was
due to a quarrel among the Chinese
over All Kee, a girl.

MEETING OF
THE BOARD
SCHOOL TRUSTEES DISPOSE OF
SOME ROUTINE MATTERS AND
HEAR SUPERINTENDENT.
Prof. Lee Gives Result of Recent
Shifting of Teachers, Which Was
to the Help Of the School System
of City-Teachers to Visit Other
Schools on Leave.

The board of education of school
district No. l held a meeting at the
office of Director Otto Gramm this
morning, for the disposal of the ac-
cumulated business on the secretary's
desk, which included the bills for the
month and some minor routine mat
tiers. Superintendent Lee of the city
schools was present n noted pro
gress in the schools. The recent
changes in the location of the teach
ers, when Miss Bronson was sent to
the West Side school as principal and
Mrs. Grace Taylor was added to the
corps and put in charge of the sixth
grade of the East Side school, was
found, according to the superintend.
ent, to have been beneficial to the
whole school. The different grades
are doing excellent work. The books
of the treasurer will soon note the
transfer of several thousand dollars
now in the hands of the county treas
urer to the hands of the treasurer of
the board. A. C. Jones.
Benefited by Visits.
The teachers of the city schools are
now taking the days allowed by the
board to visit and inspect other
schools. Those who desire to leave
the city are allowed three days, those
who prefer to stay at home and in
spect the schools here are granted two
days leave, each on full pay. Misses
Zoe Keith and Helen Simpson will re,
sumo their places Monday. Miss
Keith visited the schools at Cheyenne
and Denver.
Teachers on a Visit.
Miss Emma Nagel will spend the
18th and 10th in Cheyenne, and Miss
Thompson will visit the schools there
the two following days. Miss Ethel
Miller has been granted leave for the
23d, oath and 25th, which she will
spend at Cheyenne, and Miss Annie
Rice will visit hat city on the 2Sth,
10Th and Both. Following the return
Of these teachers, a meeting of the
teachers will be held, when there will
be an exchange of ideas along the
lines of the experience gained by the
visiting members of the faculty. They
will be able to gather some things
hat will be for the improvement of
methods here and will also, no doubt,
find some things the teachers of the
Laramie schools will steer clear of in
their daily school life.

Rockefeller later resold to hat road.

The story in detail will be told by
E. H. Hartman himself, who, of
course, will be called to the stand.
How very near, indeed, the Union Pa

Southern Pacific, in which it had in

out very clearly by the fact, which nov

campaign to GUST Mr.. Hartman from

that he had all his plans laid for the

Neb., for interment beside those of her
late husband, who died in that city
three years ago. The funeral services

On the 18th of December, when Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Bowman returned
from a visit with relatives in Missouri
and Iowa, they stopped on their way
home and brought their mother with
them, she having been a resident of
city since that date. She was in
poor health when she arrived, but the
was not greatly to her benefit
and while her death was a sad blow
to the sorrowing relatives, it was not
entirely unexpected for the last few
hours. They are now receiving the
sympathy of many friends. e..
Funeral on Monday.
The remains will be taken at noon
Sunday to Wolbach, being accompa-
lied by the Laramie relatives of the
deceased, and it is expected the inter-
ment will occur Monday afternoon in
