EIGHTY ARE DEAD AND
MANY WOUNDED IN RACE WAR
Texas Negroes Have Desperate Forty
Eight Hour Battle With Troops
and Sherff's Posse.

Palestine, Tex-At least sixty ne
groes and twenty white men are dead,
according to the latest estimates, fol-
lowing pitched battle between ne
gro farmers, in which at least 300
blacks took part and three companies
of state militia from Houston and Cal
weston and a detachment of state
rangers. The race riot between the
negroes and whites ragged continuous
ly for forty-eight hours.
Throughout the night the negroes
and whites exchanged shots At dawn
the soldiers prepared to rush the ne
gro stronghold.
Cautiously soldiers and citizens felt
their way through the woods for al
most a mile before a shot was fired.
Suddenly coming upon a group of in
trenched negroes the soldiers were
fired ON and three hit. This was a
signal for general assault. On four
sides shots rang out. The negroes
fired desperately, knowing that quar-
ter would be denied any caught.
The surrender Of the blacks ended
the battling 1t is difficult, members
of the posses and officers of the troops
say, to estimate exactly the number
of negroes killed. Early today the
captured negroes were brought TO
Palestine and camp formed for them
on the outskirts of the village, where
they are guarded.
The feeling here is very high, and
for time it was feared that attempts
would be made to lynch the negroes,
but the presence of the soldiers and
sheriffs deputies is believed sufficient
guarantee for their safety.
The problem of what to do with the
captured negroes who survived the
war of determination is one that is
puzzling the authorities.

against the sharp corner Of an I'M

her eyes and trickled down her cheeks
as the small one held up her knee for
the old womans inspection. The rose

The old woman bent over the little
sufferer and whispered consolation.
The look of pain passed, and conf

the two crossed over to the figure Of
the god. The woman capped her
hands, uttered a prayer, stroked the
gods knee with her withered hand,
and then rubbed the little human
knee very tenderly.
The cure was effected at once; the
child smiled up at the ugly deity
gratefully, with naive affection in her
eyes. The impressive stone statue
seemed beautiful to her now. The

swedenbora's Versatility.

Perhaps even the devout Swedenbor-
gian is not aware of the versatility of
his hero and that he added to mysti-
cism an all-round scientific equipment.
When Charles XII, for instance, was
in difficulty as to the transport for a
siege in the dead of winter it was
Swedenborg who constructed 16-mile-
long canal through mountains and
over valleys for the conveyance of
the necessary implements of war; it
was he who gave to Sweden a better
method of fixing the value of money;
1T was he who, as assessor of mines,
studied the smelling works of Europe
and put his countrymen in the way
of eclipsing their methods.
