"A FATAL LESSON.

Terrible Explosion OF Chemicals in q HiBh
schoOl-The Professor and Number OF
Pupils Badly hurt.
BLOOMINGTON, III, Jan 29.-Yesterday
afternoon in the high school at licking
ton, in this county, Prof. Jess, surround
cd by pupils and teachers, was conduct
ing an experiment in chemistry in
which oxygen was being generated when
the retort, composed wholly or in part
of iron, with iron pipe connections, sud-
denly flew to pieces and nearly thirty
persons were buried in all directions
and twenty Of them more or less man
gled.
To add to the horror Of the scene q.
can of gasoline through which a piece
of hot iron had been blown, took fire and
for few moments 1t looked as though
the building and some of the wounded
victims might be consumed, as the burn
ing gasoline spread rapidly over the
floor and seats, but the flames were ex-
tinguished after q hard fight, in which
several of the students were slightly
scorched.
Those most dangerously injured by
the explosion are: Prof. Jess, terribly
burned about the head, face, arms,
hands and eyes, will probably lose his
sight and may die; BERTHE Farsel, youth
of twenty, compound fracture Of the
leg and artery cut, likely to die;
Cora Kemp, aged sixteen, compound
fracture of the leg; Hattie Barnard,
aged sixteen, struck in the breast,
with piece of iron pipe, dangerously
hurt; Russell Stevenson, hurt on leg and
terribly bruised; VIII Dawson, badly
cut and bruised; VIII Hotsenpillard,
badly mangled; Asa Langstaff, seriously
bruised and cut.
A dozen others were bruised an
scorched, but those named above are the
most severe sufferers. 1t is believed.
the explosion was caused by impure
chemicals.

They Wanted the Assassin of Dudley MUIR
ply, But Were Disappointed.
WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 20.-Shortly be-
fore ten o'clock last night crowd OF
masked men, numbering $50. called at
the Comanche County Jail and demanded
DIR. Stratum, the assassin OF Dudley
Murphy. The crowd marched to within
100 yards Of the Jail and sent commit
tee of three to- the Jail to give the word
and ask what they wanted. They
were informed by a deputy. who
stood at window made safe by iron
bars, who said that they could not
be admitted and any attempt to break
in would be promptly answered by firing
on the crowd from within. The COM
mittee reported and scarcely had they
finished when the mob started for the
Jail. The door to the sheriff's apart
ment went down before a heavy beam
in the hands of half dozen men and as
many as could get in the room were soon
on the inside. The deputy then being
disarmed said the sheriff had left an
hour before with Stratum and they could.
not find him. The crowd could not believe
it for a committee had been watching
the Jail all day and night and Stratum
had not been seen to leave. They de-
manded admittance to the Jail, which
was given, and Stratum could not be
found. They were then forced to believe
that he had been taken away for safe
keeping. A squad was soon organized to
60 to Gransburg, the county seat, on the
north, another went to Ashland on the
west, another to Medicine Lodge and
fourth down in the Strip, thinking that
the sheriff might have thought that the
safest route going west to Cowley County
or coming here.
