EAST TAwAs, Mich, Feb. pa rumor
from logging camp says two men got
into dispute over trial as to whose
team could haul the heaviest load. After
trial, the one whose team was victorious
went into cabin and sat down. The de-
feated one came in behind him, and with
one blow severed his head from his body.
The head rolled to the floor, the eyes
winked several times and the mouth
opened. An alarm was raised, the mem
bers of the camp took the murderer,
placed log chain around his neck and
hung him, and placed a guard around the
body until the arrival of the sheriff. Men
came from a neighboring camp to take
the corpse down, when general fight en-
sued, and seven men were killed. No
names obtainable.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
DETROIT, Feb. pa special from East
Tawas gives the following particu lars of
horrible tragedy. We are informed by
teamster that an argument arose between
two teamsters, one in Browns camps, re-
garding who hauled the heaviest load of
logs. 1t resulted in favor of the smaller
load, and at night, after most of the men
had retired, the victor was seated beside
the stove, with his head bowed down, when
the other came in, and with one blow of an
axe completely severed the head
from the body. While the
head laid upon the floor the mouth
and eyes opened and closed once or twice.
The cry of murder was given and sixty
men hurriedly arose from bed and saw the
fearful deed. Without further ceremony
they took log chain and hung the MUIR
derer to the first tree, and will not allow
him to be taken down until the arrival of
the sheriff. We are unable to learn the
names of either. It is reported to-day on
thestreet that an attempt of the men of an
adjoining camp to cut the body down
resulted in a riot in which seven men were
killed. Brown left for camp early this
morning. The camp is twenty miles
north of East Tawas. The story sounds
somewhat apocryphal, but may be true.

THE VICTIMS INFERRED,
New YORK, Feb. 22.-The funeral SER
vices over the bodies of fourteen of the
fifteen victims of the terrible accident at
Fourteenth street parochial school, took
place this morning in the Church of the
Most Holy Redeemer, where solemn re-
QUEEN mass was celebrated. The collins
were taken to the church in fourteen white
hearses and carried through two lines of
independent rife com panies attached to
the church, to the altar rail in front on
which the collins were laid. Twelve little
girls dressed in white and wearing black
Grape scarfs, stood at the heads of the cof-
fins, and twenty-six girls, similarly dressed,
were ranged along the altar rail.
The services were most impressive
and touching. The funeral sermon
was preached by Rev. Father
Schaefer. The church contained nearly
5000 people, and a large police force was
necessary to prevent more from entering
and to preserve order in the street without
On either side of the church there extended
an immense crowd of people, filing the
sidewalks and roadway while every window
and roof top of the .populous tenements
of the neighborhood were also thronged.
Similar throngs of people filled all the
streets through which the funeral process
sion passed on the way to Calvary GENE
terry where the bodies were buried. The
fifteenth victim of the panic, who died last
night, will be buried tomorrow.
