Killed by Falling Timber.

Wilmington, N. c., April Sc. M.
Gregg, a well known merchandise
broker, while talking to friend on
the street here this morning, was
caught under a collapsing pile OF
brick and building material on the
site of the new Woolvin building,
near Third and Princess streets, and
instantly killed. The accident occur
red as Mr.. Gregg was on his way
down to business and stopped for a
talk with Mr.. John Hand at the
Woolvin building.
Mr.. Gregg was standing with his
back to the pile Of debris when, for
some unknown reason, it gave way
and came crashing down. Mr.. Hand
jerked his associate to one side, but
was too late. A heavy window frame
on top of the brick struck Mr.. Gregg
on the back of the head, killing him
instantly. Mr.. Gregg was about SIS
years old and belongs to a leading
South Carolina family. He leaves a
wife and one little daughter.

Trouble With Indians.

There has been a good deal of ex-
citement throughout Oklahoma dur
ing the past ten days, because OF an
Indian war that has been In progress
there. The trouble commenced with
the Creeks, under the leadership OF
an old chief named Crazy Snake. He
took out a band of full bloods, half
breeds and negroes, declaring that he
would fight for his rights. The In
dians have never been reconciled to
the allotment of their lands In sew
crafty and do not like to pay the
taxes required by civilization. Two
deputies named odom and Barn
were killed by the Indians, and also
a negro named Barnett. There were
reports of the killing of large num-
Der of Indians by a sherln's posse
and the militia, but this has not ma
terialized. Under pressure of quite
force sent against him, Crazy
Snake has surrendered.

INDIANS GOOD FARMERS.
Up i'm Saskatchewan they are Indus
trious and Prosperous.

The Indians of the great Canadian
prairie province of Saskatchewan
are disproving the theory that the In
dian won't work unless he has to.
They are becoming not only industrl-
Gus but prosperous.
There are nearly 5000 Indians in
the province, and last year they had
about 5000 acres under crops. They
raised 150,572 bushels of grain and
roots and $4,000 tons of hay, all of a
value of $136,023.
The department of Indian affairs
reports that the Indians are turning
more and more to the soil for a liv-
ing. The agent of the Assiniboine
agency, which may be regarded as
typical, writes:
II was greatly pleased to find that
the area under crop was almost dou-
BILE what it was the year before. The
band had about 900 acres of wheat
and 200 acres of oats. The Indians
of this agency are beginning to farm
on a large scale, and if they continue
to do as well as they have in the
past two years, there will be some
good sized farmers among them. One
man had 155 acres in crop and an
other 125 acres, and several had 70
acres each. There was decided I'M
provement in the way the land had
been farmed."

RUCKSTUHL SELECTED.
To Make Monument to Women OF
Confederacy.

The woman's monument commits
sion, recently appointed by Gov. An
sci in conformity with an act of the
legislature, met in the governors Of
fee and was in session for three
hours. The commission is com
posed of Capt. J. G. Richards, Jr., OF
Kershaw, Gen. G. Irvine Walker, OF
Charleston, Capt. c. A. Reed, of An
derson, Col. T. J. Moore, Of Spar
tanburg, and Capt. VIM. E. Gonzales,
of Columbia.
Gen. Walker was elected chair
man and Capt. Gonzales secretary
and treasurer. Several letters were
read from Daughters of the Confed-
eracy suggesting other forms of me-
mortal than a monument, but the
commission is of course powerless to
deviate from the act Of the legisla-
ture, which specifies monument
with a granite base" and with in
scriptions.
Upon motion of Mr.. Richards, the
commission adopted resolution ap-
pealing to all camps of veterans and
Sons of Veterans to appoint commit
tees in their respective counties to
collect money for the monument
fund.
A resolution was also adopted ex-
pressing the thanks of the commits
sion to The State and to the press OF
South Carolina generally for the
work in behalf of the fund that has
been done and urging continued
activity by the newspapers in this
cause. The matter of the selection
of an artist was considered very
thoroughly, the debate on this point
occupying the greater part OF the
long session. The commission finally
determined that it could not do bet
ter than to elect the same sculptor
who had performed such admirable
service to the people of South caro-
| lima in the production of the Hamp'
ton equestrian statue, and the mar
Bile statue of Calhoun, which is to go
in Statuary hall in Washington, and
the model for which has recently
been accepted by the Calhoun monu'
ment commission.
Mr.. F.. Wellington Ruckstuhl has
impressed all with whom he has
come in contact in his work for
South Carolina, not only with faith
in his splendid artistic ability, but
with belief in his devotion to the
South.
It is probable that Mr.. Ruckstuhl
will have a conference with the
committee about the middle of May
He will leave in June for Italy tc
complete the work on the Calhoun
statue,-Columbia State.

TIMER SERVING SENTENCE.
President of Law and Order League
Who Killed Kirby.

s. S. Timer, formerly president of
the Law and Order League, of Paco-
let, went to Columbia last Friday
and surrendered himself to the su-
perintendent of the State penitenti-
ary.
1t appears that instead of making
an appeal to the State supreme court
from the verdict and sentence of the
lower court, he will begin to serve
sentence with the hope that some
time he will receive executive clem-
ency. He was convicted of man
slaughter, having been tried in Jan
uary for the killing of Ed Kirby, at
Pacolet station, on the morning OF
November 20, last.
Timers plea was self-defense. He
seems to have stood well in the COM
munity, for Mr.. Victor M. Montgom-
cry, president of the mill, and one
of the most prominent mill managers
in the South, made plea to Gov.
Ansel in Timers behalf. In fact, the
petition for pardon was presented
some time ago, but Gov. Ansel de-
clined to give it any consideration at
all, as the defendant had not sur
rendered himself to the prison au-
thorities.
A special to The State from Spar
tanburg says that Hon. Stanyarne
Wilson, who represented Timer, said
tonight that the effort to secure par
don had not been abandoned, and he
hoped for favorable action on the
part of the governor in a few
days."

TIGERS IN CHARLESTON.
Dispensary Auditor West Reports to
Governor.

Governor.
Columbia, April 1.-Dispensary
Auditor West last night made his re-
port to Gov. Ansel of his investiga-
ton into the Charleston beer scan
dal, revealing that the Charleston
board is admittedly impotent to con-
troll the situation in the face of the
tiger situation. He finds that while
the sale of beer in Charleston, out
side the tigers amounted last year to
$245,3S6.15, the net profits to the
county board was $2S,396.16.
Although Richland county with
sales of s91,073.33 got a net profit OF
$23,159.19; and although beer was
sold in the latter county 81 cheaper
per cask and Charleston had a big
advantage in water freight rates.
Briefly stated the report reveals
that the tiger and beer people in
Charleston are holding the board up
for $4,000 to $4,000 year in pro-
fits, the board being afraid to tighten
the lines for fear that what little
business it has will be taken away.
Eighty per cent. Of the public are
now buying from the tigers. In It's
method of dealing through the beer
establishment the reports says the
board is violating the law and that
the Robert L. Graham beer concern
is also violating the law.

HORSE PUNCHES THE BAG.
Clever Animal Keeps Leather Ball
Humming 10 minutes at Stretch.

Talk about trained seals! John
Ackerman, who lives near Livingston
N. j., has a horse that is as skilful
at punching the bag as any amateur
or professional boxer. Sam, the bag
punching horse, is 5-year-old bay
with a distinguishing white star be-
tween his eyes.
Two months ago Ackerman's son
George, inspired with a desire to de-
velop his muscles, purchased a
punching bag and set it up In the
barn. 1t was placed so it hung d.
reilly in the path Of the horses as they
entered and left the place. Three OF
the four horses paid little attention
to the leather sphere suspended from
the ceiling, but the first time that
Sam bumped into 1t he was aroused
to a fighting temper which prompt
ed him to snap at it with his teeth
Gradually the horse learned to play
with the bag as he passed In and out
of the stall, and soon he was able to
bang it 80 hard that it flew back and
forward several times with one sharp
blow from the animals nose. Young
Ackerman then started the training
of Sam, and in a few weeks the
horse developed remarkable skill at
punching the bag. So far he uses
only his nose to keep the bag going
but young Ackerman, delighted with
his success as trainer, expects to
educate the animal to use his fore
feet as well.
The horse enters into the game
with great enthusiasm, and with
flashing eyes and arched neck he is a
picture of grace as he keeps the bag
humming for ten minutes at a
stretch.-NeW York Press.

IN THE CONGO.
Traveller Explains How the Troubles
of Missionaries Arose.

of Missionaries Arose.
Consul General Wheatley, Of the
Congo Free State, who was seen at
the New Willard by Washington
Herald reporter, spoke in regard to
the reported request made of Sacre-
tary Bacon by representative of the
Southern Presbyterian church that
an investigation be made into the
circumstances of the trial of certain
American missionaries in the Congo
Free State for libel, in connection
with their reports of the condition
of the natives, and said:
1.-THE trouble seems to have arisen
from the fact that certain Protestant
missionaries in the Congo, who ap-
parently have little sympathy with
the Belgians, have wanted to run the
country according to their own ideas,
and have used indiscreet language
about Belgian officers who disagreed
with them.
According to the accounts which
we have from trustworthy sources in
the Congo, Count Ferdinand de
Grunne, who is young man of high
reputation, and a member of one of
the best families in Belgium, found
it his duty, for the maintenance OF
public order to compel certain ma
tives who were loa6ng about the
American Presbyterian mission at
Luebo to return to the tribes to
which they belonged-just as the
American government compels the
Indians to stay on their reserva-
tions. For this action some of the
American missionaries seem to have
called him names, and brought
charges for cruelty, and even of
slaveraiding, against him. It seems
that the Rev. Mr.. Morrison, of the
American Presbyterian mission, was
the chief person with whom Count
de Grunne had disputations. The
Count de Grunne brought suit for
libel"
