Grayson, Steven, Indian boy, proba-

Deputy Sheriff, name not learned;

Seven others slightly wounded.
Fight With Indian Starts Affair.
The disturbance began at the st.
Louis and San Francisco railroad sec
tion where jim Deckard engaged in a
fight with an Indian boy, Steve Gray
son, and beat him into insensibility
with a rock.
Friends of Grayson notified the po-
lice and when Policeman Klaber went
to the station Deckard fled to his
house nearby and barricaded himself
in. AS klaber approached Deckard
shot and instantly killed him.
Sheriff Robinson gathered posse in
a few minutes and hurried to the
scene. Part of this posse was made up
of group of negroes, whom the sher-
iff commissioned as deputies.
Slayer Fires Own House, Burns.
AS the posse approached the house,
Deckard opened fire with a rifle, fir
ing as rapidly as he could load his
weapon. The sheriff fell first, in
stantly killed. Then five others of
the posse were slain.
Deckard's house was soon surround
ed by a frenzied mob of armed men.
Fire was set to a house just north of
it. Volleys were poured into Deck
ards house, and he was shot down.
He was seen to roll over on the floor
strike a match, and set fire to his own
house, which was soon a roaring fur
mace in which his body was burned.
He evidently had large quantity of
ammunition stored in the house for
many cartridges exploded while it was
burning.
Governor Orders Out Militia.
Governor Haskell at Guthrie was no
titled of the battle and of the bad
feeling between whites and negroes
that had grown out of it and which
threatened a race riot.
The governor at once ordered the mi
litia company at Muskogee to prepare
to go to Okmulgee and a special train
was made ready to carry the troops,
the governor remaining at his office
to keep in touch with the situation.
News of the preparation to send the
militia here had good effect on the
disorderly element of both races, and
at O'Clock last night the crowd had
dispersed and further trouble was not
expected.
When it became known that no ne
gro had assisted Deckard against the
officers the talk of reprisals subsided.

Empress of China Expires
Shortly After Her Husband,
Arousing Suspicious of the
People.
PRINCE PU-YI HAS
BEEN PUT ON THRONE.
Death Bed ObservanCes of
5000 Years Marked Pass
ing of Chinese Rulers, They
Dying Alone.

London, Nov. 16.-The Pekin cores
pondent of the Times says that the
unexpected death of the Empress Dow
ager excites suspicious of foul play. In
the decree issued late Saturday night
by the Empress Dowager, appointing
Pu-Yi Emperor and Prince Chun Re-
gent, there was no indication of any
impairment of vitality. On the con-
trary, the Dowager enjoins the regent
to act in conformity with her instruc-
tions. A decree, issued at noon in
that he had received the following
from the Dowager:
"At this moment l am desperately
i'll and fear l cannot recover. Here
after all Government affairs of the en-
gent. Should serious questions arise,
the Regent must personally request
advice of the new Empress Dowager.' -
I All accounts agree that the new
Dowager is a complete nonenity, but
that the widow of Wung Lu, the new
Regents mother-in-law, is a woman of
strong character
She was an intimate friend of the
late Dowager, and is certain to exer-
else an important influence on the
new regime.
The Delai Lama, the head of the
Buddhist sect, is reciting prayers over
the dead. There are rumors of disord-
er in the palace and it's precincts.
Peking. Nov. 16.-The Empress
Dowager of China Isze Hsi An, died at
| 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Novem-
Der IA. but the official announcement
gives the time of her death as O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
The Empress was the autocratic
head of the Government which she di,
rected WITHOUT successful interference
since 1861, and without protest since
| 1881.
An edict issued at S o'clock yester-
day morning placed upon the throne,
Prince Pu-Yi, the three-year-old son
of Prince Chun. the regent of the en-
pire, in accordance with promise Civ
en- by the Dowager Empress soon aft
er the marriage of Prince Chun in
1902. An edict issued ON Friday made
Pu-Yi heir presumptive.
Troops have been in readiness for
several days to quell any disorders
| that might arise on the death of
Kuang-Hsu. and the possibility of up
risings was made greater because of
the fact that the death of the Dowager
Empress was known to be close at
hand.
Prince Chung, the Regent, has ord
cred the Viceroys and Governors TO
take precautions for the continuation
Of the administration of the provinc-
es. as heretofore, and he has ordered
a hundred days of mourning The
court will go into mourning for three
years.

CHANCE FOR
Al KAUF MAN

SAN FRANCISCO, October %
If Al Kaufman wants to fight Sam
Langford, the Eastern colored middle
weight, Jimmy Coffroth is willing to
stage the match, probably on New
Years day, as Thanksgiving day Is
so close at hand that it might be hard
to arrange card that early. The bur-
ly ex-blacksmith is supposed to be
headed for San Francisco, and as the
dispatch that contained this news al
so said that Kaufman was dickering
for big fight on the Coast, this may
be the match he had in hand.
Some days ago Coffroth had letter

from Delaney, in which the manager
told of the ease with which AL had
cleaned Bradley. Billy also said that
aKufman might have several other
fights in the East and then he would
like to return home and light some one
in San Francisco.
eff Kaufman will fight Sam Lang
ford l will give him a MATCH was
the reply that the Mission-street pro-
meters sent by wire to New York city.
He has had no word from Delaney,
but as the veteran trainer is cunning
for big game, he might be willing.
Although Langford is a middle
weight, he has been fighting heavy
weights in the East, and if the in
ducements were sufficient would prob
ably be coaxed to come to San Fran
cisco.
No one, not even Coffroth, places
any support in the story of a prospec-
tive fight between Abe Attell and Jem
Driscoll. In the first place, as was an

Driscoll, according to all accounts,

make is 126 pounds, and Tiv Kreling,

same thing.
