 in Siberia Soon
 Start HOmeWard

Washington, Jan. 12 The 5000 American troops in Siberia will be- gin their homeward movement soon after the middle of February, leavin" to Japan the protection of the Siberian railroad and the loyal Rus sians in Eastern Siberia.
 The American railway commission, which has been directing the opera ton of the Siberian railroad. will come out before that time, it was learned today, and as the Czecho- Slovak troops will have been repat- riated early next month the reason for the presence of the American military forces will have been re- moved.
 The American troops were sent to Siberia to assist the CZechs who were trying to reach Europe via Vladivos- tok and in accordance with an agree ment reached with Japan and the entente powers. Japan has been notified of the cancellation of that agreement as far as the American forces are concerned. It is not known here what Japan's policy will be now that she will be obliged to face alone the problem of checking progress of the bolshevik, but it has been suggested that she might imme- diately avail herself of that pro- vision of the league of nations cove nant which permits any party to call for the assistance or advice of the other in meeting any menacing con dition such as the bolshevik move ment which Japan regards as threat ening her.

Insane Negro is Killed After AS Hour
 Fight With Posse

Texarkana, Texas, Jan. 12.-Henry Wilson, an insane negro, was killed this afternoon by a sheriff's posse, after resisting arrest 48 hours. His body was riddled with bullets. Arm ed with shot gun, Wilson barri- caded himself in the attic of his home, near Texarkana, and during the fight succeeded in slightly wounding Deputy Sheriffs John Bar rett of Bowie county, Texas, and Virgil Grigson of Miller county, Ar kansas, and killing Dan Grimes, ne gro, who attempted to induce him to surrender.
 Sheriff G. A. Richardson began the search for Wilson Saturday afternoon, after he had threatened the kill other negroes. Wilson was located early last night at his home, which was placed under guard until this morning, when shots were fired into the house after he had refused to surrender. Believing Wilson had been killed the two deputies started to enter the attic, when they receiv- ed their wounds. Firing by the posse was continued until Wilson was mortally wounded. He died in the yard after having been carried from the house.
 Last month Wilson was before Bowie county authorities on q charge of insanity, but was ad- judged sane at that time.
