various amusing games. Re-
freshments were served. The
table was decorated with a big
white birthday cake, this was
trimmed with Winnies name
and II burning candies to re-
present her age, surrounded
the cake.
Twenty five or thirty children

A LETTER TO
THE TRIBUNE
San Francisco Cal.
Jan. 17, 1909.
Mr. G A. Smith,
Dear Sit:, We left Chandler
tie 13th for San Francisco and
landed here the 16th at 10-30.
We found the weather warm
and plesant, came up the Sac
reraento valley which is one of
the most beautiful countries in
the world. The oranges and
lemones were ripe and the grass
was as green as a wheat field in
May.
One who had never seen San
Francisco before the earth quake
and fire would hardly realize
that the city was as nearly des
troyed. Men tell me that it is
rebuilding with better buildings
than it was before. Wnen I was
here two years ago it did not
look possible for it to be rebuilt
but today it is the most beautiful
town on the Pacific coast.
We spent a couple of hours
death which occured Saturday
January 23 at 3:30 p. m.
Mrs Fagaines left Saturday
evening with the body for 1 ope
ka Kansas wnere the remains
were laid to rest Sunday January
24th.
Mrs. Clarence Fagaines accom-
panied her mother-in-law.
The party was joined at Kan-
sas City by Mrs. Wilkshire and
daughter.
Mrs. Riblett has been in vary
poor health for the past year.
She was sixty five years old at
the time of her death.
The family have the sy mpi thy
of the Tribune and many friends
in their bereavment.

the officers crossed the r< ad to
inquire for them, suspecting
that probably they were there.
They proceeded down a small
lane ar.d stopped about 150 feet
from the back door of the house.
The officers got out and started
for the house leaving Nichols in
charge of the teams.
They asked West, the old man
if he knew where the men were.
He told them that they were in
the kitchen and also stated that
they had moved over to his place
Saturday intending to commence
picking cotton Monday.
The old man opened the kit-
chen door but discovered that
the kitchen was empty.
At this juncture one of the
negroes came around the corner
of the house and started into the
open kitchen door.
Deputy Dunn informed him
that lie had a warrant for his
arrest whereupon he fired point
blank at Dunn. Immediately
the other two negoes appeared
and a deadly battle raged fiercely
between the negroes and the
deputies.
There is no doubt that they
were outlaw negroes waiting an
opportunity to commit further
