Senator Foraker calls attention to
the flct that the testimony showed
there were two or three hundred shots
fired in Brownsville that night. but that
only forty shells were found in the
town and produced as evidence. and
that all the ammunition Of the troop
was accounted for.
The night was unusually dark" SEN
ato7 Foraker says, yet the distances
at which the eye witnesses saw what
they testified to. and recognized tne
raiders as coIored soldiers, was all the
way from 30 10 $50 feet. Expert
ments were made by officers Of Other
companies. with the result, as testified
TO the committee. that from ten TO
fifteen feet away was as far as II was
possible to distinguish their own men,"
Senator Foraker reviews the record Of
the discharged companies and declares
there had never been stain on il. He
tells Of the prejudice Of the people Of
Brownsville against the soldiers. now
threats were made against the soldiers
before they arrived at Fort Brown, and
how everything went 20 prove that the
tendency Of the people there was 70
shoot" I'D the sOldires. and that the
latter had no intention or desire 70
shoot up the town.

A. J. WEBSTER Is MISSING.
Havana Merchant Who Owes Several
Thousand Left MAY is.

Independence, Kan, May 2S-The
disappearance Of A. ]. Webster, the we'll
known Havana merchant and polite
ian, is causing his family, friends and
business associates a great deal of con-
Germ and apprehension.
Mr.. Webster conducts a general store
at Havana, and is a partner in the
Corfman & Webster store at Wayside
On Friday, May Is, Webster left for
Chicago for the purpose of selling a
piece Of land in Mexico.
After selling the land and realizing
about $4,000 in cash Webster wrote his
wife that he was going on fishing
trip. The writing did not indicate that
Webster was altogether himself. Since
that time he has not been heard from.
Owing to the condition of his bust
ness some Of WebSter'S. creditors feel
alarmed. Attorneys representing those
creditors are investigating the affairs
of the missing man. Mrs. Webster is
said to be Frustrated.
1t has been found that Webster has
a stock of goods valued at about $4,000
while his liabilities are approximately
SIG, 900. He owes one wholesale house
1000. The Wayside store is perfectly
solvent and will not be effected. The
largest liabilities are with wholesale
houses in Kansas City. The bank liza
bilities are small. There are two or
three creditors in this city
1t is stated that Webster in Kansas
City purchased a complete hunting out
fit, including suit, gun, cartridges, etc,
s14 worth of whisky and So worth of
cigars and had the bill sent to his
Havana store.
