brown eyes indicate a character that
is easily lead, very impressionable and
lacking will power to oppose evil.
He talked freely with a reporter Of the
Gazette this morning and laughed
when he spoke of trying to pass him
self off as dope fend." !" In vari-
Gus ways he is endeavoring to puzzle
the prison officials but succeeding only
in showing his true character. Last
night he claimed to be user OF CO.
cane and that he injected morphine
in his arms and in spite Of the fact that
his appearance clearly indicted other
wise and that his arm showed no
puncture marks he expected to decieve
the jail physician. When asked if his
drunkenness was apparent last Tues
day night, Seaton replied that he fell
in pool of water shortly before his
arrest by Chief Goods and that be was
sobsred up when finally taken.
He admitted having read wild
West" and other trashy novels in a
manner that indicated his fondness for
this sort OF literature and asked for
cigarettes. His case, apparently, is
simply that of a combination OF weak
mind, lack OF will power, bad com
panions and bad literature. Not q
word of regret passed his lips as he
talked through the bars and he seem
interested only in devising cunning
plans to escape the law.

ing bis case Seaton will remain in lal

Most of his trips were made il


disguise. Sometimes he would en-
ter the Chinatown Of San Francisco
or New York, masquerading as
salesman for a Japanese silk firm
Again he would pose as coolie
laundryman or a laborer. Then. when
he had gained the friendship of those
he wished to approach for funds, he
would reveal his true character.
At first DR.. Sun was looked upon
as a madman. Even the Chinese
who had lived in the Occident for
years and had seen the advantages
of democratic government, could
not understand him. China was only
semi-cirilized. It's people had always
bowed to a monarch. They knew
nothing but despostism.
Many times the little. doctor was
denounced as "a fool. But he only
shook his head and dreamed of the
awakening Of his countrymen. Years
of eIhortation in America by DR..
Sun, ana able work on the part of
his lieutenants in China, revealed
that the people were advancing. Con-
tributions began to pour into the
revolutionary treasury. Drill SER
geants from American and European
armies were smuggled into the en-
pire. A large army was recruited
before the dynasty realized that the
were about TO
strike.
When the rebels took the field they
were the equal of the imperials. They
fought with such heroism that even
their foes admired them. Thous-
ands of imperial soldiers deserted
to the revolutionists. All Of South
ern China was ablaZe with revolt.
The people had learned DR.. Suns
lesson well They we're through with
the Nlanchus. Nothing would satisfy
the people but republic.
The dynasty summoned Yuan Shi
Kai. the once powerful military lead
er whom it had disgraced, and urged
him to save the throne. But even
Yuan's popularity with the masses
could not stem the tide.
DIR. WI Ting Fang. the former
minister to Washington, joined the
rebels and was made Secretary Of
Foreign Affairs in the cabinet. 9th
cr leaders of less Importance follow
ed his example.
The throne was desperate. Or
ders were given to show no mercy
TO .trnitors-''''s~ But ihs imperin.i
troops could not terrify the people
even by massacres.
Yuan Shi Kai was forced to ask for
an armistice. A peace conference
was arranged and Tang Shao Wi
was sent TO represent the premier.
Tang saw the wonderful enthusiasm
Of the people for a republic. and in
formed the government that the mon
archy was doomed.
The premier next attempted TO
float huge war loan and appealed
to the powers to intervene and save
the empire. He was unsuccessful.
His last stroke was to appeal for
convention to decide upon the future
form of government. but even this
failed 20 save the imperial govern
ment. The Manchu princes are pre-
pairing to flee from the country that
they have dominated for almost $50

Blind Pisser Bound over.

jamestown, N. D.. May 25.-A blind
pig case was before Justice J. A. MUIR
ply today, Bert Kennison of James
town, being arrested on the charge of
selling liquor in violation of the pro-
hibition law. Kennison was given a
hearing and upon the evidence was
bound over to the June term of dis
trict court The principal evidence
was two full quarts of red rye"
golden age sour mash" whisky found
on the defendants person Tuesday
night at IL o'clock when he was taken
up by Chief of Police Obermueller.
The bottles were opened and wit
nesses sWore that the odor was that
Of whisky. Kennison had been pre-
viously accused of blind plugging. Atty.
r.. G. Mcfarland appeared for the de-
PENDANT and States Attorney Kneeland
for the state. The bottles were sealed
and kept for evidence. In cases of
this kind 1t has been difficult to convict
but the state has strong presump-
ton of guilt and an effort will be made
to break up the gang of alleged pig
gers that has been infesting Front
street and vicinity. In lieu of $500
bond Kennison was taken to the coun-
ty jail in charge of the sheriff.
