Stamford, Conn.-After breaking

commenced a leisurely inspection OF
the valuable articles in the house.
The Smith sisters are in the south.

NEGROES AFRAID OF COMET.
Report in Indian Territory Towns
That Earth's End Is Near.

Muskogee, I. THE ignorant ne
groes throughout Indian territory are
greatly excited by the reported ap-
pFoach Of destructive comet. In
many places they have quit work and
are assembling nightly in churches
and holding religious services.
1t is reported at Fort Gibson and at
many other points along the Arkansas
river where there are large negro set
Elements that the comet is the only
thing talked about. and the negroes be
lieve that the world is coming to an
end. This condition has reached such
proportions that the Times-Democrat,
a local newspaper. teIegraphed Prof.
z. J. J. See, of Mare Island, asking his
opinion about the comet. His reply
was:
The comet is a ghost Of the air. It
is going from the earth instead of to-
ward it. There is no danger of con-
tact"
A great manysIndians have also be-
come alarmed over the agitation, but
they are not demOnstrative about it.,
as are the negroes. At Westville it is
reported that meetings are being held
nightly and prayer offered. These re-
ports come from the smaller towns
and rural communities. There is not
much excitement among the negroes
OF the larger town, although it is IN
derstood that in nearly every church
service Sunday reference was made
to it.
