The stewardess re-entered the burn
ing cabin to try to rescue them and she
also persisted. Darkness and smoke is
suing from the burning cabin combined
to make it a terrible scene. 1t was not
until three compartments were burned

cabin, where were discovered the char
red remains of six women and one
child. Then the engines were started
up again and the vessel proceeded on
| its way to London. There are various
rumors as to the origin of the fire.

sengers acted in a cowardly manner
seeking first their own safety instead
of assisting the women and children
into the boats.

HIS EARS BURNED TO A CRISP
An Explosion of Powder Works at Santa
Cruz

Santa Cruz, Cal, Sept. 15.-This
morning an explosion occurred in the
smokeless powder department at the
powder works, causing the death Of
Make Grimm, II years old, and burn
ing James Howard so severely that no
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
There were $50 pounds of powder
in the new press, which went up in
smoke. This powder was for the Hotch-
kiss gun on the cruiser Boston.
Howard, after the explosion, with his
clothes on fire, ran to creek 100 yards
distant and jumped in. BY the time
he had reached the water his clothes
had all been burned off, and nearly ev-
cry portion Of his body was a mass of
burns. After the plunge he walked to
his house, located some distance away.
Grimm was badly burned on the
head and face and on the arms. His
ears were burned almost to crisp, and
he was taken to his home, where he
died five hours later.
The windows of the mill were broken,
but no damage was done to the press.
The cause of the explosion is not
known.

A SKELETON ON SHEEP CREEK
Badly Decomposed Flesh Stin CIinging
TO the Homes.

Badly DecompOsed Flesh Still Clinging
TO the Bones.
KSlispell, Mont, Sept. 16.-A CHASTITY
find was made on Spring creek just
out of the town yesterday. The slSel-
eton of a man to which still chung bits
Of badly decomposed flesh, was discov-
cred in a thicket.
Coroner Mettler has been working
all day for some tangible clue to what
is now almost a mystery. 1t is sup
posed to be the remains of o. II. How
ard, who formerly worked at White
sides brick yard Three weeks ago
Saturday night, Howard, as was his
usual custom, went down to the creek
to take bath and has not been seen
since and it was while searching Cor
him that the find of yesterday was
made He was clad in a pair OF over
alls, shirt and vest. 1t is only by these
clothes that the remains can be identi-
fed. Some Of his fellow laborers say
that they are satisfied that it is How
ard. There is not a sign of violence
nor the mark of knife or bullet on his
clothing or bones.
An analysis for poison is impossible
as the flesh and internal organs have
rotted away. Nothing can be found to
indicate self poisoning yet Howard
had made remarks to the effect that
death was preferable to life. This
is the only clue. The position in which
he was found, lying face down, would
suggest heart failure. The inquest will
be held tomorrow, when some lighi
may be thrown upon the mysterious
case.

HE TRIED SUICIDE IN THE JAIL
Found Guilty OF Manslaughter and SEN
fenced at Boise.

Boise, Idaho. Sept. 17.-William
Thomas. found guilty Of mansIaughter
for the killing of James Ford at Silver
City, was sentenced by Judge Richards
today. He was given the limit, 10 years.
A motion for a new trial has been filed.
The general sentiment is that he got
off very easy and that new trial might
result in a much more severe verdict.
Last night Thomas tried to commit
suicide in JAIL He told some of the
prisoners he would cut his throat from
ear to ear before he would go to the
penitentiary. He removed most Of his
clothes and securing a razor which
had evidently been surreptitiously
passed into the Jail, started to carry
his threat into execution. One Of the
prisoners managed to get the razor
away from him and passed it out.
Thomas raved nearly all night. His
conduct was in striking contrast to
his outward mien in court when being
sentenced.
IT would give my life for just one
weeks liberty" he said. I'D fix some
OF those id - - and then God
speed the end"
He acted like a wild man.
