stations at Tayatt and Sanchi where
over a hundred conyerted natives were
massacred by the bloodthirsty, bands.

mission, a Belgian by birth was killed
by the mob and several other Christians
were also massacred. The natives had
heretofore been quiet and there was no
sign in the district that a revolt was
meditated. '

governor in his report o'f the occurrence
to the Pekin government, does not place
the blame upon the natives of the prov
ince, but attaches the responsibility for
the crimes to bands of Mongolian robbers

district and the general government has
taken steps to prevent any farther out
rages on foreigners or native christians,
all the troops available were dispatched
to the scene of the disturbances.

Spokane, Nov. 24. The six-year-old
son of Max Bollock was killed today in
a peculiar way. Some boys at Franklyn
school- were 'playing zip sticks. One of
tne sharp skewers flew into the air and
struck the little boy in the windpipe.
He staggered toward his teacher and" fell
dead in the hallway. Several children
who witnessed the accident which cost
little Engene Bollock his life say he was
returning from lunch at noon, when
several boys were engaged in the game
of "zip sticks." The trame is plaved .
with two sticks. One about five inches
long, sharpened at each end, is placed
in a hole made in the ground and caus
ing it to fly in the air, the trick being to
strike it before it reaches the ground.
As Eugene passed the stick was struck
by one of the boys, and in flying it
struck him in the windpipe. The little
fellow immediately started td find his
teacher, and got as far as the hallway,
when he fell to the floor. His teacher's
first impression was that he had fallen
in a fit, but when she unbuttoned his
shirt collar to help him breathe freely
she noticed a small blue mark on his
throat. On learning what bad happened
several doctors were summoned, who
arrived as soon as possible, but it was
too late. In about half an hour from
the time he received the hurt be was
dead. t
A Family Frozen to Death.
Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 24. It is
said that an immigrant train, consisting
of thirty-three people, on the way west
met with a snow blockade in the Chil
howie mountains. The men, women
and children, with the exception of a
farmer named George Alters, who was
somewhat intoxicated, went into camp
Sunday. Akers persisted in going on
through the storm and said he would
not stop until he reached the mountafn
top. Monday morning, when the other
members started from Knoxville they
traced Akers and his wagons a few miles
and then lost all track of him. The
supposition is that the fool-hardy man
and his family lost their way and rolled
into the river or fell into some deep
ravine and were frozen to death.

wanted the check cashed. There are
yet sixteen indictments against him.
His description was sent to San Fran
cisco today.

the railroad spur near the salt works.
This is three miles south of Salton sea.
The spur to the mines has been partially

days. A great stretch of desert, which
