BUSH WAR; WAGED.

Bloody Warfare.
A report that about 60 whites and
Indians have been killed in Nicara.
qua in bloody bush warfare waged
by Mosquito Indians was brought
to New Orleans by w. R. Coffmar
of Bloomington, ILL.,, who was a pas
senger on the steamer Dictator from
Central American Ports. The death
list Of whites numbers about 20.
The fighting started over a month
ago on the Caribbean coast, where
the Indians live. Late in February
about 100 Indians attcked Prinzapol-
ca Der, a small town. They hid be-
hind bushes, trees and other shelter,
pouring into the village a fire which
killed two men.
A long hard fight resulted, soldiers
and citizens volunteers finally driy-
ing the assailants back, about a doz-
en- OF the Indians being killed or
MORALLY wounded. The other In
dams fed but many of them were
captured and after being severely
beaten with raw hides, chains were
placed about their legs and they
were imprisoned in an ~improvised
stockade.
Another engagement took place at
Cape Gracas, near the border of
Nicaragua and spanish Honduras.
Here the casualties among the troops
were five, but the Mosquitoes were no
more successful than before and fled
in retreats to the mountain.
Since then, Mr.. Coffman said, many
troops have been sent into the Mos
quito district and several skirmishes
have occurred. 1t Is reported that
treachery and cunning have been U.s.
ed on both sides. Wherever a party
of white men get a chance they gen.
orally kill the Indians without mercy,
and the Indians have slain several
soldiers whom they caught in the
forests.

TRIED TO KILL Them.
GREENWOOD tiAN AND WIFE HAD
CLOSE CALL.

"nlle lney ere ASLEEP III beu lIlt
Son of the Man Shot at Them a,
Close Range.
A dispatch from Greenwood to The
News and Courier says Butler Pinson.
known as "Bub," is charged with
making an attempt to kill his father
and step-mother, Mr.. ard Mrs. B. P.
Pinson, as they lay asleep early on
Tuesday morning, firing both barrels
of a gun at them, and when only
about eight feet away from them.
That Mr.. and Mrs. Pinson are living
to tell how it happened is a miracle,
for the load of shot entered the head
Of the bed, only a few inches above
their heads, and some of the shot
We're found imbedded in the pillows,
on which their heads rested.
Mr.. B. M. Pinson lives about a
mile AMI a half southeast of Saluca,
and within about four hundred yards
of Sloan Church. He is a well-to-do
farmer, and is numbered among
Greenwood County's most substantial
citizens, he being a man of about SO
years Of age. .
"Bub," however, seems to bear a
pretty bad reputation, having lived a
very profigate life, living the greater
part of the time away from home.
Young Prisons motive is unknown,
but his father, the elder Pinson, him
self thinks that the boy, knowing
that no one knew he was in this part
of the country, decided that he
would kill both himself and Mrs. Pin
SON, and that he would then share
the estate with his brother, Richard,
being hard pressed for funds. Mrs.
Pinson had only lately refused to
grant his request for money.
Young Pinson made his escape II
Sheriff Mcmillan is making every eff
fort to catch him, and has sent out
the following description of Pinson
all over the country: ARREST Butler
Pinson; charge, attempt to murder;
color, white, age tWenty-slX
years, height 3 feet, 7 inches, weight
100 pounds. Said to have missing
tooth. brown eyes and dark hair; full
face and clean shaver. Use caution

No MORE FUSION
FOR DEMOCRATS
One Lesson Sufficient for That
Party on the Big island
Plain Language.

HILO. August 13.-Demoerats of ths
third precinct, first district, are de
cidedly opposed to fusion with the
Home Rulers and so expressed them
selves at a meeting, held at Olaa on
Saturday evening, in the following
language:
Whereas, The experience Of the Dem
ocratic party of the County Of Hawaii
during the past two years In attempt
ing fusion with the Home Rule party
TO make common cause against the Re
publican party has proven TO be IN
satisfactory to the Democrats. and ut
terlv rallied to accomplish good county
government, which the Democratic
party has worked so long and hard TO
attain; and.
Whereas. The Home Rule party,
through its complete working ma iority
of the Board of Supervisors, though
elected by the aid and votes Of Demo
Gratis, has time after time shown its
want of good faith; and,
Whereas. At the coming election, in
the light of the experience above re-
cited, the Democratic party should. IN
give to. the Home Rule party any pro-
posals of fusion; and, furthermore,
should retire all pnblie officers who
have been unfaithful IN adhering TO the
rules and traditions of the party and
careless of its general success, by re-
fusing to renominate them; therefore,
be it
Resolved That the Democrats of the
third precinct, first district, Olaa, in
adjourned meeting. of which two weeks
notice was given by announcement at
the last meeting, do hereby approve of
the course taken by, and the acts of,
the Democratic County Central Com
mittee; and be it further
Resolved, That the Democrats of this
club not only advise against any fusion
with the Home Rule, or any other po-
litical party, but refuse TO participate
in any such fusion.
Resolved, That the Democrats of this
club advise that none but the most
upright and loyal Democrats,
who by their acts have proven to be
such, be nominated for each and every
Office on the ticket at the coming con-
vention; and. be it further
Resolved, That the club recommends
holding the county convention at Hilo,
for the reason that it is the most az
eessible place in the county, having
sufficient accommodations for such
gathering.
Resolved. That copies of these reso-
buttons, signed by the president and
secretary. be transmitted to the Herald
and Kilohana newspapers for publica-
tion, and in the event that the same
are not Published by both, then the see

Little Rock, August "A. Off, cers from Memphis yesterday afternoon came to Little Rock and took back to that city, A. F. Compton, who is wanted there for embedding a typewriter from the Remington Typewriter Co. Compton was arrested here Sat- urday morning early. He rented a typewriter in Memphis, pawn ed it, and then left the town. Compton has been working here as a stenographer in the Rock Is- land offices.
 From some unknown source a rumor started in the East. and worked it's way to Arkansas yes terday, that Gov. X. o. Pindall had received Black Hand letter in which his life was threatened. This is denied and branded as a canard by Paul Little, private secretary of Gov. Pindall, who opens all the mail addressed to the governor. Secretary Little says no letter ever received in that office ever made the least bit of a threat against the chief executive of the state.

NEGRO BOYS ROAM
 IN LITTLE ROCK
And Steal At Will-Too Young For to Place In
 Penitentiary.

Little Rock, Aug. 24. The po- lice of Little Rock have some hard nuts to crack in the gang of negro boys who roam the city and steal at will, but who are too small to send to the penitentiary and will not be admitted to the reform school. Saturday at noon T. G. Robinson, who conducts a meat market at 912 East Seven teenth street, and lives in rooms adjoining walked from his shop to the dining room Of his house to eat his dinner. The shop was left open, thinking he could watch it from the table. While he ate, Claude Jarnigan, 12 year-old negro known from one end of Little Rock to the other as lube. slipped in and took ove~ $35 from the cash register. He was seen running off but was not caught until yesterday morn- ing when detectives Morgan and Wick raided the section of the city known as Nickle Bend, ire quently called Hog Wallow, and took in Irene Lott, Geo. Lott and May Black, three wellknown ne- gro police characters, together with Robert Kinpeople. Rafie Thomas, and Claude Jarnigan, negroe boys. Jarnigan was seen to give Lott. his step-fath- CT, the money he had stolen from from the Robertson shop, and the entioe settlement went on a spre Saturday night. Jarnigan robbed a white woman of $25 a few days ago, but all but $5 was returned on promise of no prose cution, and the mother, the Lott woman agreed to wash out the remainder. The little negroes spent the day yester day in the city jail absolutely fearless of its terrors, evidently enjoying the clean beds and the three good meals per day. The police will see that the grown people are properly punished, but are at a loss to know what shall be done with the boys.

ARKANSAS STATE NORMAL.

At Conway. Sept. 21, the first State normal school for the white teachers of Arkansas begins its work. From the outlook, the at tendance will be quite large, and many appointments have already been made by county examiners, the law vesting in them this right.
 The school offers to students a four-year's course of study, un- der the following departments: English, Mathematics, History, Science, Drawing, Penmanship, Reading and Expression, Vocal music, Pedagogy, and Agriculture. The work begins with a careful review of the grammar studies, and is followed by the regular course as arranged by the facul- ty.
 Each teacher has made a spec ialty of his subject, and the work done will cover methods of pre- sentation as we'll as study of sub- ject matter. Arrangements will be made as soon as possible, for a practice school, in which stu dents will engage in the actual work of teaching, under compe- tent supervision. Students will board in town. The cost of room and board will range from SIP, 5C to $15. % per month.
 The work will be arranged 1T in three-month's terms, thus al lowing students to enter at stat ed times in the session, yet it is advised that all who can, enter on the opening day. Students will also be admitted to the work of any year for which they may be prepared, credit being given for work done elsewhere. Per- sons who do not expect to become teachers will be admitted on pay ment of $3, % per month tuition.
