vas located. Fox and his men Their
lad worn their clothes to tatters and
their supplies were exhausted leaving
them facing starvation in the wilder
ness.
The last twelve hours of the pursuit
vas particularly trying. The chase
led over mountain with Rogers
men only short distance in advance.
AS they fed the ape-like natives OF
the outlaw sent back taunts and jeers
At their pursuers.
Dramatic in the extreme Is Captain
Fox's description of the death OF Rog-
ers. In the jungle into which they
had descended from the mountain his
party came suddenly upon a camp. A
native approached the English officer
and said:
"The commander wants you to
come in. He is sick and cannot come
out"
Outlaw Found Dying.
Entering the hut Captain Fox found
himself in room dimly lighted by
candle. A white man was lying on
couch and beside him sat com
panlon also white. For a time there
was a dead silence, Captain Fox be-
levng he had been led into a trap.
Then he said
(Which is Mr.. Rogers?"
Mr.. Rogers has been shot," replied
the outlaws companion.
YES" interrupted Rogers, "and by
your men,"
Come, stand right here so ] can
look at you" Rogers continued His
eyes were blazing and from beneath
a blanket he drew revolver and
pointed 1t at the officer.
81 am a dying man, | guess" he
said, Il didn't think they could kill
old Rogers, but they got him this
time.
Still you are in Belgian territory
and you stand more chance for arrest
Knew End Was Near.
Fearing that the revolver which
menaced him might be discharged at
any time, Captain Fox argued with
the outlaw to gain time. Finally Rog-
ers turned to his companion, whom
he addressed as doctor and said
81 want you to witness what say,
loctor. Captain Fox, am dying

A noise in his throat interrupted
the words of the old man.
Say did you hear that?" he ex
claimed That's the death rattle
I've heard that too many times tc
make any mistake" =.
This prediction proved correct, 70,
those were his last words.
Throughout his talk with Captain
Fox, Rogers shielded his white com
pan'on and did not reveal his identity
Captain Fox's report also is singular
ly silent on this point, as he says h,

likely, however, that this was done T.

lie was shot down by little force OF
troops which had been sent into the
W lderness in pursuit with orders not
to return without the outlaw dead or
alive.
News of Rogers death came formal
ly to the British colonial office from
Captain G.. v. Fox, inspector OF Mon
gala province, who commanded the
cxpedt on. Although told in an Of
fetal report the story revealed is one
OF the most dramatic in colonial an
nails.
For years Rogers had carried on his
lawless trade which popular opinion
credited with netting him a fortune
The remote regions along the Lado
Enclave and Congo boundaries were
the scenes of his operations. Time af'
ter time British officials of South Az
rca had tried in vain to trap him. 1t
was this defiance of years which de-
termined the government to crush the
old man.
Uncrowned; But Real King.
Captain Foxs report shows that in
his long operations, Rogers had done
more than had been dreamed of by
the colonial office. He had establish
ed an organized administrat on over
the wild trackless country and among
the natives was a virtual if uncrown-
ed king.
The success of the outlaw in handl-
ing his subjects and in the pursuit
of his trade drew from Captain Fox,
in his report the tribute that Rogers
work was worthy of better cause.
Not since the explorer, Henry M
Stanley, pierced the jungles in 1871
and found DIR. Livingstone, has SUI
a tale of hardships, trials and dangers
come out of Africa. Captain Fox's re-
port in this respect resembles most
nearly perhaps the tale of General
Funston's logged pursuit of Aguinal-

not to return until the outlaw was

With a soldiers disregard for red

to mention dates in describing the

The Easter lance.

One of the prettiest and most enjoy
able social events of the post-lenten
season was the Easter ball, given by
the young men at Hardy Hall Monday
evening, complimentary to the many
fair visitors in the city. The music,
which was made by the Cosmopolitan
Orchestra, was very much enjoyed.
Many thanks are due the chaperones:
Mesdames B. S. Dudley, B. c. Dun
can, L. E. Moody and Gideon, for their
kindness in staying late and for the de-
licious luncheon served the merry
makers.
Among the out-of-town visitors were:
Misses Bryant and Provine, Coffee
Vile; Talbert and Meaders, Winona;
Short, Como; Bogard, Oxford; Bren-
nan and Pearson, Sardis; Maynard, Alb
erdeen; French, Bruce and Stevens,
Memphis; Goodman, Carey, and Mr..
and Mrs Frank Provine of Coffeeville.
Quite number of gentlemen visitors
were in attendance.

faithful volunteer fire departments of
any town her size, but they are sadly
