lseum show building, which is being
erected opposite the worlds fair grounds.
on Sixty-third street, this afternoon,
Samuel Mccartney and r. Mcneil were in
stantly killed by the failing of a massive
cross beam of iron. Five hundred men
were at work in the open space bounded
by the four walls, placing and boltins
the iron girders, which were to span the
width of the structure. McCarney and
Mcneil were perched on one of the grid
ers, $50 feet in the air They crept 20
the center of the beam in order to put
the bolts in place, when the two men
felt it shake. The ends had not been
fastened to the walls. Workmen shouted
from below, but the warning came to late.
The great beam swayed for a moment,
then overbalanced and toppled to the
ground, carrying the occupants to death
Their bodies were shockingly mangled.
The scores of workmen present barely
had time to escape being struck by the
falling beams.

a Calling Gun with Four Expert
Operntora Appcnrs on the Scene.

Operators Appears ON the Scene.
Winston. N. c.. Aug 1S.-Everythlng
Is quiet here tonight. There is no in
dicatlon that Sunday nights riots will
be resumed. However the militia and
100 special policemen are still on duty.
The situation is such that there Is. no
telling what win happen. A Calling
gun, with four men to man Il, arrived at
midnight. Very few negroes were on
the streets last night.
The jury to-day returned verdict of
murder IN the second degree in the Tut
tie case. The negroes wanted him
cleared, therefore many of them are in
censed though they are talking very lit
tie. The verdict is just as a majority
OF the white people expected. Counsel
for the defense will make a motion on
Thursday morning for a new trial, but
there is no hope Of its being granted.
Murder in the second degree In this state
means a sentence 10 the penitentiary OF
from five to thirty years. Tuttle will
get no less than twenty.
The trial Of Bud Cunningham for the
murder Of his sweetheart opened to-day
and Is progressing rapidly A jury was se-
cured with little trouble, and nearly all
the evidence in the case was taken to-day.
In Davidson county yesterday Hammett
Swing lost his life In his efforts to keep
ms sweetheart from utoWnlHBs 1ne young
couple were out driving, when the horse
shied in crossing a bridge and ran the
buggy Off. Mr.. Swing jumped from the
vehicle, but the young lady with the
horse and buggy went overheard, falling
several feet. The young man ran to the
bank and swan to the rescue of Miss
Baltimore. In the struggle and excitement
she held him too heavily by the neck
and he sank and was drowned. Just as
she was sinking the last time Robere
Young came upon the scene with bat
teau, and seeing her long hair in the
water, he reached down and pulled her
out and she was saved. The body Of Mr.
Swing was found and taken from the wa
ter about 10 o'clock at night. He was
about 20 years of age. The horse was
drowned also.

SCHOOL FLAG LAW DENOUNCED.
Illinois Luthernns General I'm Their
Opposition TO II.


Opposition TO II.
Chicago, Aug. 13.-The German Luther
ans Of the Northern District of Illinois be-
gan an important conference to-day at the
town Of schaumberg in this county. spe-
eial interest attaches to their delibera-
tions because of the general opposition
which has been engendered among the
Lutherans to the school flag law, passed
by the last legislature. making the hoist
ing Of the stars and stripes over all edu-
cational institutions compulsory during
certain hours Of each school day.
The law has already been denounced by
the I.utherans in Milwaukee and judging
by the sentiment among the members Of
the Illinois conference, resolutions will not
only be adopted denouncing the law as un-
constitutional and an attempt Of the state
TO interfere with the church but all Lu.ner
an teachers and ministers Will probably
refuse to obey the law and work for its
REPEAL. as they did with the deceased Ed
wards law.

The policy of The Kicker for the last
three years has been to publish as much
prose and as little poetry as posi- BILE.
Not one poem in a thousand reaching
this Office has even been read. While
the mountains, valleys, rivers and plains
Of Arizona offer great field for poets
the demand of the times has run largely
to -four and bacon. We want sturdy
pioneers instead Of weak backed poets
men to chop and pillow instead of men
to write Of grim mountains and bab-
bling brooks which don't babbIe We
want women who can ride cayuse,
shoot with winchester or throw a
Digger Indian over the fence instead Of
romantic schoolgirls with poetry in
their souls. There is no poetry about
opening mines, clearing up farms and
lodging centipeds and rattlesnakes
eight months in the year.
On another page in this issue we pub
ish half column poem entitled Chow
the Angels Came For Mary 1t is that
poem that we want to apologize for. +
is from the pen of Mrs Colonel Shorter,
whose husband runs the well known
Shorter ranch over on Bow Legged
creek. During the last year she has sent
as 4S different poems on 48 different
subjects, and every one of them went
into the wastebasket. Tuesday after
noon last something jumped off the back
of broncho at the door of The Kicker
Office and entered our sanctum, gun in
hand. That something was Mrs Colonel
Shorter She had the Angel poetry in
her pocket and the alternative she gavo
US was to publish it or be shot to death
then and there. We held out until she
was ready to pull trigger and then
threw up our hands. We promised to
publish it, and have stuck to our word.
If the "Angels Came For Mary" as
Mrs. Colonel Shorter came for Us we
haven any doubt that she spread her
wings and sailed away with them. We
had taken no precautions against such a
surprise, but it will not occur again.
Years hence, when Arizona has taken
her place in the Union and our people
have DOTTED their red wooden shirts and
long legged boots for the latest Paris
styles, we may encourage poets to the
extent of ID or 20 to the acre, but until
that time arrives nothing but gun
held on a line with our right eye will
induce US to publish verse.

A TORPEDO DID IT.
The Spanish Gun Boat Was
Blown Up.
Not a Collision But a Cuban
Torpedo Sunk Her.
AN AMERICAN DEVICE.
Made So it Would Explode at a
Certain Time
AN AMERICAN DEVICE.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.-An entirely
different explanation Of the sinking of
the Spanish cruiser -5arcastegul and
the loss of forty-six lives IN the harbor
of Havana on last Wednesday night,
is made in letters received in this city
by distinguished member of the revo-
lutionary party. According to the
news telegraphed from Havana the ca
tastrophe was due to the collision be-
tween the cruiser and d merchant
steamer. 1t is now stated as an abso-
lutte fact that the cruiser was sunk by
q floating torpedo boat launched by an
adventurous party of Gu bans. The
Cuban leader who received the letter
said:
'sThe advices which J. have received
say that on Monday night party of
ten Cubans under command of Captain
Carlos Enrique. left Guantanamo in
steam launch, which was the recent
invention of an American. 1t was an
ingenious device SO constructed tina
it could be launched some distance
away from the object aimed to be de-
stroyed, and then by a p zee of clock
work explode in about fifteen minutes
after it is sent out.
The little party on the steam launch
had received these torpedo launches
only week before. Captain Enrique
selected a point about 200 yards from
the wharf from which to launch the
torpedo. It was slipped out and as
soon as it was gone Captain Enrique
gave orders to steam away as rapidly
as possible. The work of the
torpedo was even more speedy
than anticipated. Not FIVE minutes
ella psed before it exploded with re-
port that was heard several miles
away. From what those on the boat
say, it must have gone off about fifty
feet away from the cruiser and struck
her in the starboard side. 1t is true
the merchant steamer Mortera was
near the vessel at the time. and that
she too suffered damage, but it was
not serious by any means, and if the
men on board of her had kept their
heads they might have saved some of
the lives of those on board the Spanish
cruiser"

Have Water Underlying Them Which
Can Be Used fer Irrigation
AUSTIN, Tex, Sept 25.-State Geologist
Dumble and Professor Cummins have re-
turned from trip made for the purpose
of examining the water supply of por-
ton of Llano Estacado. The trip on the
plains was from Amarillo southwark as
far as Plainview. They report a num-
Der of farms in Hale County irrigated by
water pumped by windmills. This water
supply from shallow wells seems to be
abundant and is of excellent quality. On
the farms they found fue peaches, APP
pies and other fruits. melons and vegeta-
bles of all kinds. At some places small
groves of forest trees have been planted
and are doing fairly we'll even where not
irrigated. Where water has been turned
on them they are growing finely
A company has been formed and char
tered under the name of the White River
Land and Irrigation company to carry
out the work of putting in irrigation
plants. The success of this company in
putting water on the amount of land con-
templated would make a garden spot in
the center of the plains.
