Mexican paper%;tn Brownsville and
Fan eye witness to the shooting of
Frank 'Natous,1 the only man killed
in the affray, was On the stand Tues
fday before: the senate committee on
military affairs. Dramatically tell
ing the story in Spanish. and having
it interpreted for the committee his
testimony easily proved to be the
most important heard during 'the
present hearing. "
When The shooting began, Precia-
do was sitting in court in the
rear Of sTillman's' saloon, with him
were two companions. According to
his stocy today, MI Crixell,' who
conducts. a saloon, across the street
from .Tinman's place rushed in and
eYcitedly reported that the negroes
were out" 49,
The doors of ThImaa's saloon
were Immediately closed and bar
red, and Natous, the bartender,
started across%the court to bar the
gate which connected the court with
the alley. Preciado followed, but
before he had emerged from the sa-
loon into the court her-gaw five or
six negro soldiers in uniform enter
the gate. They fired several shots
and Natous threw up his arms ex-
claiming in Spanish, Oh, God" and
! fell on his back He was killed in
stantly. Another bullet grazed Pre-
ciade's hand and it Dled profusely.
| Still another bullet passed through
Preciado's coat and vest, near the
left breast pocket and broke his
glasses, which were in a. case in his
pocket. The men immediately pro-
iceeded down the alley, shooting as
they went. Preciado said they were
within three yards Of the light at
the gate and that the court yard was
also lighted with several lamps He
swore positively that the. men were
negro soldiers. Continuing his
| story, he corroboratpd the testimony
given by the other witnesses who
were at the saloon. II

all the boys books that crowd the II
brary shelves are responsible for the
deviltry that obtains in Tama when
the sidewalks take wings of Hol-
lowe'en night. The responsibility be-
longs in Tama and only part of 1t
belongs with the boys Back of all the
deviltry is the negligence OF parents,
the slackness of the peace officers
and the feeling not of entire dtspleas-
ure that wakens at sight of neigh
boris buggy astride the ridgepole, but
fades at a glance at ones own. Boys,
like men, are likely to take all the
leeway that is allowed them, and then
some. If parents knew where their
boys are nights, if one gang of Hal
lowe'en destructionists and rioters
were unearthed and properly punished,
there would be little cause for COM

with "Huck Finn" it isn't with the
boys, barring a few exceptions, but
with the general admission that the

an English Roman Catholic organ in
that country so slow and expensive an
enterprise as to arouse the wonder
that ''shrewd Methodists of the United
States allow their money to be thus
poured out into the sands" This
Italian view is derived from an ex-
animation of the Eighty eighth An
nual Report of the Missionary Society
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
for the year 1906, and, While the men,
bers of that body would doubtless see
other implications of the facts there
recorded, the view taken by the church,
that is being attacked may not be I'M
interesting. The article in question Is
quoted from Rome by The Catholic
Standard and Times philadelphia
the latter supplying in it's caption
such deductions from the facts as that
the "Methodists may convert Italy"
but it will be 10000 years hence at a
cost Of $500, 100000 francs" The pres
emit following is reckoned at the cost
of 1000 francs head" Rome Informs
us that american Methodists may be
said to have entered Rome and Italy
