MURDERING NATI VES NOT ALLOWED
The charge is made public
against Col. Metcalf. of the 20th
Kansas Infantry, that in the bat
tle oi: Caloocan he shot and
kille" native soldier, who was
at the time a-disarmed prisoner.
The Colonel denies it, but it will
be . ib. vestigated. It makes no
little stir. Wether or not Col.
'Metcalf is guilty the lively sensa
tion bver it precludes the idea
thut our soldiers are a set of
unsoldierly, savage-like warriors
over thare as some of the sensa
tional paijers had it before Geri.
Funs, on rose and denied it. We
thir r It fair to presume that the
soldier who murders or brutally
treats a Filipino will win the
-condemnation, scorn and con
tempt of all proud and noble
American soldiers.

relatives here Saturday and Sun-

- Messrs. Lee and Pines Barn-
hardt, of Norwood, were guests
at the Welsh hotel Sunday.
- Rev. Cord ell. of the Methodist
church here, preached his fare
well sermon Sunday night. He
reports a very pleasant and fruit
ful work while on this charge.
He expects, and is expected, to
return after .Conference, cr at
least he was given a 'pounding"
Monday night, such as has not
been witnessed here for a num
ber of years.
The pulpit of this place has
anounced a union Thanksgiving
service to be held in the
Lutheran church.
The entertainment last Satur
day evening was quite a success
It consisted of songs, recitations,
tablaux and short plays. It was
a departure from : the old, stiff
way our entertainments gener
ally are, and was rich, rare and
racy. As an evidence of appre
piation it has been called for, and
will be given next Friday night,
with a number of substitutions.
Israel Miller, colored, and
Will jTEarks, colored, were ar
raigned before Capt. Cook yes
terday morning for stealing i
pair of suspenders. . Parks not
being found guilty, Miller pai4
the cost. . ,
Tom iPetrea, son of Morton
Petrea, used language not ex
actly consistant , with our town
ordinance Saturday evening to
tne amount of two dollars, which
some of his friends paid before
taking him out of town.
We wish to correct an error in
The Standard ' bf the 20th, in
regard to the smallpox scare.
The victim of the supposed dis
ease was Mr. De Berry Bar-
ringer and not a negro, as that
issue: stated. Although it was
not a case of smallpox, we are
assured that Mr. Barringer was
partially covered with "shingles."
A number of our young men
spent the day in Gold Hill Sun
day. It is reported that several
of them were drunk, which re
port, we wish to say, is abso
lutely false. Isjb it strange?:
now some people will let their
imaginations got the ' best of
them? " " - - '
