Of all his clothing that he was finally

Immediately after dn:W Thursday to
clean it out. The t-cs inside the boiler
ar arranged so that at n end there
is some spring to them. The other
end, where they connect with the boil
Ell, is more solid. Parker backed I'M

reached the end of the boiler. When

release himself. His calls brought sey-
e1al men to the scene. When Parker
explained his situation the first impulse
of his fellow WOrkmen was to laugh.
Two men went into the boiler to TO
lease him, but their combined efforts
only brought shrieks Of pain from the
unfortunate. Some n telephoned to
Dr.. Vaudeville Thum. A machinist
was also sent for, and both arrived
about the same time. All sorts of
schemes were concocted by the physi-
clan, the machinist and the now thor
oughly frightened wOrkmen. 10 cut
through the boiler would take several
hours, so that had to be given up rs

groans Parker insisted that the 1iue
pipes were slowly closing in on him

hit upon n plan. He sent the machinist
into the boiler with a knife. BY tearing
and cutting the machinist succeeded in
removing most of Parker's clothing.
A box of axle grease was then brought
into use and Parkcr's body was thor
ouglly CREASED where the pipes did not
hold it. A rope was then tied just be-
low his shoulders. All the hen outside
then caught the end Of the rope and
pulled. The hips appeared to be the
principal place of resistance. A shrek
came from Parker as the rope began
to tighten, and then his body suddenly
shot forward. All of his clothes were

Bandits From Indian Territory
Operated in Missouri.


Noel, Mo-, May 11.-To-day seven men
armed with Winchesters and revolvers
rode into Southwest City, Mo-, and
robbed the bank, getting all the money
the bank contained, between $1,000 and
$4,000. They evidently came from the
territory and were experts. They did the
job in very business-like manner. Two
of them were stationed on the sidewalk,
three entered the bank with a sack and
two others guarded the horses. About
100 shots were fred by the robbers, and
four prominent citizens VIE badly
wounded. J. C. Seabourn and O. L. Sea-
bourn were both shot through the groin;
Mart Hambree had a leg broken by a
bullet, and s. F. Moulton, United States
marshal, received a flesh wound film the
leg. The robbers were about ten min
utes going through the bank. Afterward
they mounted their horses and started
for the Nation u full gallop. As they
were leaving the outskirts some one fired
several shots at them, killing a horse and
wounding a robber. He Immediately Sc
cured another horse from a farmer who
was passing and followed his pals. No
resistance was offered by the citizens.
The wounded men were shot while stand
ing on the sidewalk. A posse was made
up and have started in pursuit, but the
robbers have a good start and will Prob
ably get away.

The Study of Manners.

Dr.. Green, the president of Elmira
college has suggested a rather novel
feature in the college life-a systematic
study Of manners. A representative
committee of all the college classes has
been formed, styled the Council Of Ell
luette. The aim is by studying the
best authorizes to become well versed
on all disputed points. No colloquial
code Of manners will do, but the stand
ard must be the customs Of cultured
circles all over the world.
Every two weeks some member of
the council presents some original dis
cussion to be read at chapel to the stu
dents. The subjects are varied, the
first one being Manners in Public
Places which a young junior treated
in a scholarly way. Other essays are
on Letters and Letter Writing"
"Chaperones and Their Uses," Con
versation; What to Say and What to
Avoid" etc.
The movement seems to be a good
one, and one which will help the col
tege girl to attain the modest and dig
nified bearing that she will be expected
to have as q graduate.
