FORESTS ARLAZE.
Destructive Fires Rage In Kentucky and
Indiana.

CI.ovERPoRT KY, April 2.-The most
destructive forest fire ever seen here
has been raging a few miles back OF
Cloverport. One person is known to
have persisted, and the property loss
will run into the hundreds of thou
sands Nat Hend, wealthy bachelor OF
Lewisport, was found dead in the
smoking forest Saturday morning. His
horse came dashing into Victoria rider
less at midnight Friday night, and it is
supposed Mr.. Hend was thrown and SO
stunned that he was unable to escape
and burned to death.

NJ Bruner was burned to death in
forest fires near Victoria. Prof. Bruner

points in western Kentucky and south
ern Indiana report that the forest
fires are still raging, but definite

lacking. The loss is estimated at $780,
600 in kentucky and less in Indiana.
The death of Henry Filler near Bowling
Green, Ky, and two negroes and that
of Mrs Penny. in addition to those al
ready reported, make three white men,
two negroes and one woman lost.
While the farmers have been blowing
and doing everything to prevent the
spreading of fires, and there is no
doubt of their loss and danger, yet it
is believed that greatly exaggerated
reports of the fires have been circu-
lated
PROFESSIONALLY, Ind, April 2.-Fires
which had been started in clearing

A Timely Tip.

CINCINNATI, March ga desperate
but vain attempt to hold up the south
bound Cincinnati Southern train near
Greenwood, KY, early Wednesday
morning resulted in the killing of two
of the bandits and the wounding of a
third Three other miscreants escaped
under cover of the darkness That the
robbers were unsuccessful in their
attempt was due to the fact that I. R.
Griffin, who serves as superintendent
of police on the Cincinnati Southern,
had learned something of the purpose

WHlRR OF THE WHEEL.

HYDE PARK has been thrown open to
cyclists before ten in the morning and
after seven in the evening, the hours
when it is not crowded by carriages.
In France it is decided that the
makers Of bicycles are responsible for
damages when an accident occurs
through structural fault in ma
chine.
On perfectly level hardwood floor a
steel-rim bicycle wheel goes easier than
pneumatic, aside from its greater ten
dency to slip on curves. But on rough

No Capitol Removed.

The judiciary committee of the house
of representatives settled the Capitol
removal question. Two propositions
were voted upon and both decided
against Minneapolis. The first PROPOSE
ton voted on was that the city of Min
neapolis had no authority to convey
legal title to Loring park to the state
for capitol site. The committee were
unanimous in the opinion that the city
could not make this conveyance; This
has also been admitted by the attorneys
for Minneapolis in their briefs upon
the case.
The second proposition. upon which
the decision was also against Minnea-
polls, but not unanimous, was that it
was beyond the power of the legislature
to confer authority upon the city of
Minneapolis to make any such transfer.
The second proposition was upheld
by the Minneapolis men, who cited a
similar case in Ohio. However, the
burden of decisions was of the other
color, and the committee decided ac-
cordingly.

Killed.

A Swede at Sandstone, who runs a
waterwagon to supply villages with
drinking water, became engaged in a
quarrel with Hugh Glenn, and struck
him on the head with club. Glenn
was unconscious all day and died in the
evening. The quarrel was over the
possession of pump which stands on
public property and from which water
was taken to supply the village.
Glenn's house was nearest to it and he
claimed possession and wanted the
waterman to desist from taking water,
as the well was drying up. He threat
ened the waterman and the latter
struck him. The only witnesses to the
fracas were Glenn's family. The de-
ceased will be remembered as the man
who was blown up by an explosion on
the Fourth of July, and who, with his
family. sought refuge in a root house
during the time of the forest fires last
September.
