Indian ..Doctor'' Badly Wanted.

BARNwELL, April 5.-There have
been few developments in the case OF
the negro Stokes, whose dead body
was found in the Salkahatchie hieswamps
a few miles from Barnwell late yes
terday afternoon.
Coroner Warner visited the body.
this morning and held an inquest.
It was found that the negro's skull
had been crushed, as if he had re-
ceived a severe blow from club or
large stick. There was no direct tes-
timony at the inquest and the jury
found verdict in accordance with
the facts given by The States cor
respondent last night.
The body of the negro was taken
to-day to his home near Allendale.
A little light has been thrown on
the identity of the murder but moth
ing can be learned about the woman
with him, who claimed to be from
Sumter. To-day Sheriff Creech re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Alfred Dun
bar, chief of police at Allendale.
stating that he had talked with the
man Jeems when he was in Allendale
last week., Mr. Dunbar stated that
Jeems told him he was from Aiken
and had lived in the town OF Aiken
for seven or eight years.
Sheriff Creech telephoned to Dep
uty Sheriff Alderman Of Aiken upon
receipt of the letter. Mr.. Alderman
said that he knew of the negro and
he had seen him about Aiken for
some time but had not seen him
there since the killing. The sheriff
and chief of police in Aiken have
been requested to keep a sharp
watch out for the man and woman.
Mr.. Alderman says that Jeems is not
a white man and was not looked
upon as such in Aiken. He associat-
ed with negroes and lived With them.
He was, however, man with a very
light complexion and it was difficult
to tell whether he was white or
negro. Jeems claims that his mother
was an Indian and his father a white
man.
Neither Jeems nor his woman
companion have been seen since the
day after the killing when they left
Williston, going in the direction OF
Aiken.
It is very probable that Sheriff
Creech will ask the governor to offer
q reward for the murderers.

Was Sorry He Spoke.

It was an open Experience" meet
ing, and Brother Jones arose and
said:
"Bretherin,' I'm the man that put
water in the milk!
AN I'm the man that drawed the
water for him." said Brother Brown
penitently.
"An' I'm the woman that MIXED
the COW and howed all about it, I"
sobbed Sister Jones.
"An' here's the man" said a loud
voice from the rear that sold 'em

Then Brother Jones was sorry he
had spoken, and was overheard to
mutter as he reached for his hat,
"Never did believe in these expert

Ehrhardt EtchingS.

EHRHARDT, April 8.-The farmers
are having a tough time with their
early planted corn. Quite a number
of farmers had corn up ready to
plough, but Jask Frost bit it down
and gave it set back. Several of
the farmers say they will plant over,
as newly planted corn will be better
than the old bitten off one will be.

jim PRICE is ARRESTED.
Slayer of Willie Redish Carried to
Charleston.

BRANcHvILLE, April Jim Price,
who shot and killed Willie Redish,
near Colleton postoffice yesterday.
was arrested at Blackville, S. c.,
early this morning by the chief OF
police of that city, though the efforts
of Mayor Warren, of this place:
Price was brought here and turned
over to Mayor Warren this morning,
who, in accordance with Instructions
from Governor Ansel, sent Price to
Walterboro by way of Charleston in
charge of Constables A. R. and Sollie
Byrd. Constable Maxsey, of Colleton,
was here today for the prisoner, but
it is said there was a feeling against
Price in the section through which
he would have to go be taken, hence
the communication by phone with
the Governor and the disposition OF
the prisoner. In conversation with
Mayor Warren here this morning
Price stated that he shot Redish IN
self-defence, that he regretted the
affair very much and was willing 70
be arrested and tried. From what
can be learned Price was under the
influence of whiskey and probably
cursed Miss Redish in a dispute be
tween her little brother, and him
self, over rent it is said, young Red
ish claimed was due his father by
Price. It was rumored here yester-
day evening that Price would be
lynched if caught, hence the pre-
caution taken. Young Redish, who
is a prominent Colleton family,
leaves a young wife and a host OF
friends who deplore this occurrence.
Price was brought to Charleston at
/ o'clock yesterday over the Southern
Railway and lodged in the Jail here
for safe keeping. AS the feeling in
Colleton county against Price was
strong, it was the intention to- take
the prisonert to the State penitentary
at Columbia, but not being able to
make a quick connection at Branch
vile, the first train that came along
was boarded and Price brought here.
Arriving here he was Immediately
taken to the Jail in the police wagon.
Price was perfectly cool and did
not seem to realize the enormity Of
the offence of which he was charged.
He did not say anything about the
killing Of. Reddish, but said that he.
did not run away to avoid a trial,
but was afraid of the crowd.
When arrested Price was making
his way to Jacksonville, as he had a
ticket in his pocket for that point.
After leaving Walterboro he got as
far as Blackville, and while waiting
on train going south, he went to
sleep in the waiting room. The officers
were hot on the trail and in the search
of the room Price was discovered
and captured. Price will remain in
the jail until it is thought safe to
carry him to WATERFORD, where he
will have to stand trial on the charge
of killing Redish. News and Courier.

CONDITIONS IN SIBERIA.
American Consul Writes of the People
OF Northern Asia.

Vice-Consul Fairchilds at Mukden,
Manchuria, writes as follows to the
department. of comm cree and labor or
Japanese war:
The bulk of the population of Sibe-
ria is made up of emigrants and exiles
from Russia proper. At present the
exiles form only from eight to nine
per cent of the whole, and this pro-
portion is decreasing while the num-
ber of volutary emigrants is growing
each year. The latter are chiefly far
mers, who are given government land,
rent free for a number of years, af-
ter which they are obliged to pay a
small tax.
The native population consists of
nomadic tribes-the Kirghiz Tartars,
Turks, Mongols, Bukhariots, Samoy-
edes and Buriats-living in felt tents.
They are not agricultural but pastoral
races. Their flocks and herds pro-
vides food, clothes and shelter, and
they rely on the frequent fairs held at
large towns to meet and exchange
commodities for their other needs.
The natural resources of the coun-
try are great, large mineral deposits
being found throughout; gold, which
is the most important, forming one of
the chief sources of wealth. After it,
in the order named are coal, iron,
silver, lead and salt, as we'll as guam
titles of precious stones.
These mines are worked by primi-
tive methods, though in the Tomsk
district some modern American ma
chinery has been introduced, and the
output is at present very considera-
BILE and annually increasing. AL
though the numerous coal and iron
deposits have not been extensively ex-
plotted, coal is furnished in sufficient
quantity for railroad use, and a cer-
tain amount of pig iron is exported.
Silver, lead, salt mines and oil wells,
though not as important, are profita-
BILE, and contribute to the general
wealth of the country. Timber also,
If felled under proper restrictions,
should be a constant source of rev.
enue both to the government and to
the lumbermen.

sTRIKEBREAKER a PREACHER
iRcv." {. NJ. Smythe, Formerly an o.
X. & n. Brakeman Out of Port
land.

REV" C. NJ. Smythe, who resigned
from the pulpit Of Portland church
to become a passenger brakeman be-
tween Pendleton and Portland on the
o. Il. & N, is again in the limelight.
He is now working as a strikebreaker
on the Portland street railway and the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-22
Oregon Daily Journal saws of him:

Oregon Daily Journal says of him:
Rev. C. NJ. Smythe is now working
az a strikcbreaker at 23 cents an hour.
His number is 46 and you can see him
any day collecting fares on an o. w.
P. car.
Rev. Mr.. Smythe will be remember
e6 az the Congregational minister who
gained great deal of notoriety last
August by entering the pulpit of a
former flierd in the Congregational
church at st. Johns and there de-
nouEcing him in the most sensational
terms incidentally Smythe is said
to have taken reporter to church
with HIM to insure fullest publicity
of the denunciation. The former
friend was Rev. Fred j. Warren.
"You are a traitor and I denounce
you, Fred Warren" cried Smythe dra-
matleally "You despoiled my home,
won the love of my wife when you
were my guest and l have waited long
for this opportunity to paint you in
yoYr true colors before your own
congregation"
Mr.. Warren's congregation was not
disposed to believe the word of his
accuser, and after a good deal OF
recrimination the matter blew over
and Smythe disappeared from public
view.
The whereabouts of the former pas
tor of the Mississippi Avenue Congre-
gational church might have remained
unknown to the public had he not
proved rash in his enmity toward the
striking carmen. Yesterday, while or
duty on his car, Smythe is reported
as having drawn a revolver from his
pocket and of having brandished II
in the faces of several union pickets-
This is what III have for you to-
morrow night" said he.
On behalf of the union Organizer
| Burton applied to Chief of Police
Gritzmacher to either arrest or disarm
the strikebreaker Gritzmacher
promised to look into the matter, but
nothing has as vet been done.
