REDDING CITIZENS WROUGHT ALMOST TO LYNCHING BEE (Special to The Farmer.) Redding, June 16 I twas lucky for Will Deming that news of the felonious assault which he committed a week ago yesterday on Dorothy, the five year oia aaugnter of George P. Williams of the Lonetown district, did not soon er become generally known. Otherwise he might have been the victim of a lynching bee. It Is also quite proba ble that had the infuriated father ran across him within a day or so after the outrage there would have occur red the off-hand killing of the offend er. Deming is a middle aged colored man of defective mentality. He had pre viously committed many offences, mostly In the way of petty thieving, but was not looked upon as a dan gerous character. Mr. Williams did not enter a complaint against him un til Tuesday, having been . greatly wrought up and previously undecided as to what he ought to do. The ar rest was made Wednesday afternoon by Constable Warner who found the culprit at the house of one of his colored friends In this town. Before the close of the ' next day knowledge of the crime had spread and many citizens Including those not given to emotional Impulses were expressing a desire to volunteer . for a lynching ex pedition. By this time, however, Deming was lodged in Danbury Jail under bonds of 2,B0O. In addition to the more serious charge he was arraigned on accusa-1 tions of stealing two bushels of pota-j toes on May 14, and of two hens on April 15, from George WSlliams, by; whom he was then employed. The theft of the potatoes occurred on the morning after the fire which destroy ed the barns of Albert Williams, brother of George. Deming was seen to cross a field with the bag of pota toes on his back and when descended upon admitted his guilt and also own ed up for the second time to the theft of the chickens. His first admission as to the latter theft was at the time of It. Deming went to Danbury with his- employer and drove home alone with the team without the ' lattere knowledge.- Not finding the horses where they had been left Mr. WII- ARMY, HEADS START INQUIRY INTO SLAYING OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN JOLO CAMPAIGN r) :'pk eg. i-mMMl Washington, June 14.

The pres ent uprising in the island of Jolo rep resents the resentment that is felt by some of the Moros over an effort on the part of General Pershing to bring about the complete disarmament of the tribe in the southern Philippines. General Pershing concluded more than a year ago that this was neces sary as a final step toward permanent peace in the archipelago. In the north disarmament has been effected peace ably, and it had been hoped that through the good offices of the sultan of Jolo the Mohammedan tribes In ehe Jolo group and - in Mindanao might likewise be induced to give up all their weapons. There have been, however, small groups that have In sisted on retaining their weapons, and General Pershing has been obliged to resort -to force.

'A queer marriage ceremony was that In Queen Elizabeth's reign, before the deaf and dumb alphabet was Invented, between Thomas Fllsby and Ursula Bridget. Ursula could talk fast enough, but Thomas was a deaf mute, and as it was required that promises should be exchanged In spoken words nobody knew how to manage the thing. ' Final ly the bishop of London helped to de vise a service by signs, and Thomas proceeded thus: Having first taken Ur sula in his arms, he took her by the hand and put the nuptial ring on. her finger. He then laid his right band significantly on his heart and after ward, putting their palms together, ex tended both his hands toward heaven. Having thus sued for divine, blessing, he declared bis purpose to live with Ursula till death should separate them by closing his eyelids witbbi3 fingers, digging the earth with his feet as though he wished to make a bol? in tbh ground and then moving his arms and body as though he were tolling a fu neral bell. Curious Marine Tragedy. On March 31, 1849, the pllotboat Coquette, cruising off Cape May. dis covered a capsized schooner floating bottom up. A boarding party put off to the wreck, and some of the crew climbed up on the rounded bottom. Suddenly rapplngs were heard on the inside. Evidently some one was im prisoned in the hold. Saws and axes were brought, and a hole was cut in the schooner's bottom. But the at tempt at rescue brought swift disas ter. The imprisoned air that had sus tained the captives rpshed out, and the schooner began to sink rapidly. As the water rose on the Inside one of the doomed sailors struggled near enough to the bole to cry out that they were five in all, one forward and four aft. The capsized vessel was the Russell, and they had been prisoners for five days. Then the water reach ed his lips, and the would be rescuers scrambled into their yawl as the Rus sell sank, carrying the five men down with her. Early Sport on the Thames. Sport on the Thames In London's early days was more exciting than boat racing. In the twelfth century, for instance, the young "bloods" en joyed a kind of "tilt the bucket" pas time and delighted the spectators. Thus William Fitz-Stephens, clerk to Thomas a Becket. on the rules of the game: "in the Easter holidays they play at a game resembling a naval engagement. A target is fixed to a tree trunk, which Is fixed in the middle of the river,- and in the prow of a boat driven - along by oars a young man who Is in it strikes the target with his lance. If" in hitting it he breaks his lance and keeps his position un moved be gains his point and attains his desire, but If . his lance be uot shriven he is tumbled into the river." It is comforting to' learn, however, that the rules then allowed his friends to pick him up. London Spectator. It Moved Dr. Johnson.
