... Answered Roll Call.
 GALVESTON. Tex. March 1S.--The Galveston News has printed the alleg- ed confession of discharged negro soldier in explanation of the midnight riot of negro soldiers of the Twenty fifth infantry who ''shot up. Browns vile, Tex, on Aug, 13, 1906. A state ment was made by one of the discharg- ed negro soldiers to two reporters, and thus after seven months of, investiga- ton by the authorities of the United States what appears to be the true version of the riot has come to light
 The discharged soldier admits that he participated in the riot. This man has been living in Galveston since he and many others of the Twentytifth infantry were discharged without hon or by order of President Roosevelt from the military service.
 According to the negro, the outrage Was not premeditated, but was the re- suit of an alleged injury done one of the soldiers by a white man in Browns vile about half hour before the riot started. The negro was struck by the white man at resort in Brownsville. The negro, returning to the barracks, seized his rifle and announced that he was going to kill the white man. Sev- eral other negroes promptly volunteer ed to go along to wipe out old scores against white citizens on account of injuries they had suffered.
 The negroes returned to the barracks after committing the assault on the town. and many soldiers assisted in the hurried cleaning of the guns for the inspection which followed soon after the shooting ceased
 According to the alleged confession, the soldiers from only one company of the. Twenty-hfth infantry participated in the riot, although nearly an entire battalion, later discharged, knew that soldiers had done the shooting.
 Many of the negroes belonging to this battalion enlisted in Galveston during the summer of 1905 and re- turned to the city after being discharg- ad from the army. The returned sol diers. it is said, were advised by negro politicians to avoid newspaper men, but two reporters finally procured the alleged confession through the fact that the negro concluded that they were United States secret service de- tectives and let the secret out.
 The man who talked to the reporters said his name was D. C. Gray and that he was formerly private in Con- pany B of the Twenty infantry.

NOTHING PRETTY
ABOUT new COINS
Are so Very Plain they are
Cheap Looking.
Consignment of New Gold Piece
Arrive at City National
Bank Friday Morning.

Coins that do not bear the inscrip-
ton "In God We Trust" have made
their appearance in Marion. A con-
lsignment of new ten dollar sold
pieces from the Philadelphia mint
were Friday received at the City Nat
ional bank
The new coins are indeed objects
of much interest. They are so very
plain that they are positively cheap
looking. The Indian on the date side
looks like n half starved Figi Is
lander while the supposed American
eagle on the other side, with the in
scription "E Pluribus unum" pro-
truding from under his left wing
feathers, must have been taken from
life but the study game rooster
that had surely seen better days.
! With all due respect to the artist
that designed the coin, he should try
once again then get a job with a
sewer construction gang for as sure
as you are born the gazaboo has
missed his calling,
