WATCHED THEM FIGHT FOR HER.
Two Young Farmers Settle Their Claim
to a Young Lady's Haud With Gloves.

ARKANSAS CITY, KAN, November %.
"Details of fight which was fonght oe-
tween William Britton and James Bell,
two young farmers, living five miles
west of this city, reached here. The
Young men were in love with yonng
lady Of the neighborhood, and while
both were afraid to put their chances
TO the test by asking the girl, eacn
thought that, were the other out OF the
way, there would be no trouble in OBJ
tanning the girls consent to marriage.
With this feeling fostered by friends
the young men concluded to leave the
decision to an arbitrament at arm, or In
other words to fight for the girl. They
drew up articles OF agreement to light
at a certain date, and the one who was
defeated was to give up all hopes OF
winning the girl and was TO stop going
to see her. The young men then went
into active training, and as both had
been to the State University they had
some knowledge of the use OF gloves.
They trained hard for two weeks and
then came together in an old house on
farm.
The girl had got wind of the affair,
and with her brother went to the house
before the young men got there and Sc
creted herself where she could see the
whole affair. The men came together
and fought victously for about half an
hour, when it became evident that Bell
was getting the worst Of the battle.
Up to this time the girl had apparent
ly enjoyed the fight, but when she saw
the young man giving way before his
opponent she allowed her pity TO inter
fere and she rushed from her p ace of
cencealment and stopped the fight, tell
ing Britton that she never wanted to
see him again, as she did not want to
have anything to do with such big
brute.
She did not tell Bell anything but
hurried out of the place and left it to
be infera d that she would not look un-
kindly upon him should he call. The
fight came to an abrubt tArmiRation and
Britton has the satisfaction that II he
can't get the girl he whipped her lover.

both directions to allow OF further pro-
eress of trains, and the passengers &C.
cordingly were compelled TO make their
way on foot to neighboring towns. Inc
roads were almost impossible by reason
of fissures and landslides and no con-
yiences were TO be had.
Proceeding from Glfu to 'kano, the
latter place was found wholly In ruins.
Not a house remained upright. The
town of Kssamatsu Jared like kano,
every dwelling being a mass OF debris.
Everywhere survivors were to be fonnd
digging out dead and wounded ana
fighting. against conflagrations that
broke out on all sides.
The shock experienced at Ogaki was
so severe that scarcely a sound house
was left standing with the exception OF
the Castle which, despite its four hum
dred years, stood the shock remarkably
well.
Gobo Temple, belonging to the Shin
Sen of Buddhists, was crowded with
worshippers, II being the anniversary
of the death Of Shirran, founder OF the
sect. The temple fell, burying at least
fifty people. The ruins took fire and
the shrieking victims were consumed
by the flames.
The town OF Nagerio escaped lightly
In omparison with the region west or
there. embracing Gifu, 0gaka and XII
OTTO. Slight shocks were felt at Nagerio
ON the night OF October 25, then on
Wednesday morning. Forty Chris
tians were assembled In one
OF the buildings Of the Metho-
dist Protestant school. When the sound
of distant rumbling arose and the build
ing began TO totter, the worshippers iied
to the door. -,
One Christian and his wife were kill
ed by falling bricks, and two Japanese
were badly injured. Many streets were
blockaded with fallen houses. The
Dwarf thread factories, large brick
buildings, crashed In, killing hundreds
OF people.
The old castle stood firm, but many
gateways were demolished and the
brick court house for the military was
wrecked. The loss Of life in the three
towns which go to make up the city OF
Nagoya is variously estimated from $50
to::l 900.
Up to the morning OF Friday, October
30. the three hundred and sixty-eight
distinct shocks were recorded as follow
ing the one Of Wednesday. AS the
wounded were brought to the city from
surrounding towns reports continue TO
come OF lives lost, damage done, and OF
stirring incidents.
Flssures opcned two feet wide and
several deep; railway rails were twisted,
iron bridges broken; river embankments
sunken or crumbled and flooded. A
lake six hundred yards long and sixty
Yards wide was found at the foot OF Ha-
kusan Mountain In Gifu prefecture.
Water In the wells was changed 10 a
brownish color and rendered unfit for
drinking. The embankments OF the
Niagara Kiso, Shouai Colo and Niko
rivers were broken and one-half OF
three hundred and fifty miles OF en-
bankment damaged will have to be re-
built.
Out OF seven hundred temples In Gifu
prefecture. more than one-third ara
totally destroyed. Anything like a
heavy rain fall would cause nearly tho
whole OF Gifu TO be flooded.

A POSSIBLE CLUE
To the Men Who Robbed the Express
Train Near Milwaukee.


MILWAUKEE, WIS, November 23.-
The latest possible clue to the train rob-
bers who recently held up the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul train near West
ern Union Junction is furnished by the
Milwaukee police.
The day before the robbery two
strangers purchased at Milwaukee
gun store a quantity OF dynamite, to-
gether with fuse and caps. As dyna-
mite was used in blowing open the ex-
press car, the local authorities are salts
fed that the two strangers are the
robbers.
A local detective with an emploYe of
the gun store went To Western Union
Junction yesterday to look at the farm
hand employed by Farmer Worthing-
ton, who has been under suspicion since
it was discovered that he wore the over
shoes, the peculiar imprint of which
was in the snow was discovered on the
morning OF the robbery.
The gun store man. however, failed
to identify the farm hand. Still the To-
authorities are satisfied that their clue
may lead to the Identification Of the
robbers.

Sensitive About His Corpulency Farmer
Marshall Hangs himself I'm His Barn.

KIyGMAY, KAN, November 23.-One
OF the most horrible cases OF suicide
ever known In this part OF the state
has Just come TO light by report from
the western part OF this county. There
lived on farm near the county line q
man named James Marshall, who was
prosperous In every way, but he was 80
neshy that life was almost q burden 70
him. lie weighed 356 pounds and IL
was difficult for him TO get about 10
attend TO the duties OF tho farm.
He was particularly sensitive about
his heavy weight and resented all allu-
sions 10 1t. A remark about his corpn-
lency would give him surly iit which
would sometimes last several days. In
fact, so much did his flesh weigh on his
mind that he became very morose and
Stunned the society OF every one. He
seemed 10 become partially insane on
the subject, and his family became 80
alarmed over his condition that he was
secretly watched In order 70 prevent
HIS committing suicide.
This espionage had the effect OF
making his condition worse. and latterly
he spent his time in devising ways OF
kttbiuk away liOn bnbso WnO WCio
watching him. Last Sunday afternoon
be went TO the barn, but as he was aD-
parently in better frame OF mind than
he had been for::several days the watch
was not strict and his absence was not
noticed for about half an hour. when
some one went out TO look after him.
On entering the barn most horrible
sight met the gaze OF the searcher.
Marshall had succeeded In taking his
own life, and In doing so had literally
torn his head from his body. He had
gone to the left OF the stable and at
tached q strong rope to arafter, fasten-
Ing the other end around his neck. He
then dropped through the hatchway. a
distance OF fully seven feet.
He had measured the rope 80 that
his feet would not touch the floor, bnt
his heavy weight falling that distance
tore the head of and the body was
lying on the floor. while the head had
rolled over In one corner OF the stable.

The Picamme's Newton, Miss, special
saws: A cyclone from the southwest
swept over Lawrence, four miles
west OF here, yesterday, about
O'Clock. All houses in its track were
lifted bodily from the ground and car

The residence OF Tom Dennisou, in
which we're his family and himself,
was destroyed. Mrs. Dennison was
severely bruised about the head and
had one shoulder dislocated while one
of her children, little girl, had her
brains knocked out by falling joist

A number of negro cabins were blown
away, leaving the occupants with
bruised bodies and broken limbs. The
Methodist church was almost entirely
DESTROYED, as was the residence of Mr..
Clay, whose family chanced to be alb
absent.
The cyclone was moving in the same
direction as that travelled by the one
