BULLETS FOR BUNS.
Tramps and Policemen in a Fight
at Boone, Ia.
An Onicer Shoots Ono Through the Heart
and Wounds Two Others-Fifteen
Are Arrested and sent
to Jail.

BOONE, Ia, March 11.-Between Q
and o'clock Saturday morning the po-
hce were notified that n row was going
on at the Chicago & Northwestern rail
mill, in the eastern past of the city,
and help was asked to quell the dis
turbance, which was almost
riot. The rail mill has long been
resort for tramps, who would
congregate there and spend the
night Friday fifteen OF twenty gath
cred and when night came they got
couple of gallons of alcohol and held n
drunken carouse. Charles Elliott, the
night foreman of the mill, was struck
over the head when he tried to protect
the company's property and knocked
senseless. The tramps drove off the
railroad men and the police were called
upon for assistance.
The three policemen on night duty
attempted to arrest the fellows The
tramps attacked the officers and the
latter drew their revolvers. Officer
Campbell, who was at the door
of the engine-room, was attacked
by the tramps in their efforts
to escape, and he shot one through
the heart, killing him instantly,
another through the back, wounding
him so seriously that it is believed he
will die, and third through the hand.
Coroner Clark was notified and held an
inquest over the dead man, County At
torney Holmes conducting the eX-
animation. After closely investigat-
ing the case, the jury brought in ver-
dict of justidable shooting, and Officer
Campbell was eXonerated.
After the shooting the officers sue
ceeded in capturing fifteen of the gang
and bringing them to the city Jail. The
man killed is James Freeman, alias
Riley, and came from somewhere in
Minnesota. The fatally wounded man,
Tim Lallan, is said to be from Des
Moines. The man shot in the hand got
away.
After the coroner's jury had rendered
this verdict, Mayor Hornstein, acting
as justice of the peace, arraigned the
fifteen tramps in the Jail, under the
state tramp law, and gave all ten days
in jail. The usual method here of
handling the tramp is for the sheriff to
turn them back to the city authorities,
who make them work upon the streets
with balls and chains.

WORTH is DEAD.
Famous Man-MilIiner and Designer of
Fashions Passes Away.

PARIS, March 12.-Worth, the famous
dressmalSer of Paris, is dead
[Mr. Worth was born at Bourne, in Lincoln
shire, in 1925, and the king of fashion was
therefore not as Is generally sup
posed, Frenchman, but an English
man. He was employed for some
time with well known firm in Oxford
street. London, and thence proceeded to Paris.
Worth has made dresses for all the queens OF
Europe, with the single exception OF Queen
Victoria, and for women OF fashion the world
over.
His father was solicitor, with good pri-
vate fortune which he lost in speculation. At
the age OF l3 young Worth went to Swan and
Edgars in London, and remained there for
seven years, during which time he did all the
work OF an ordinary apprentice.
Having heard much OF French fashions he
determined to go to Paris, but on his arrival
there was for some time out of situation: ul-
timately. however, he succeeded in getting
into Gagelin's where he remained twelve years.
This firm noted for silks, which were
woven by workmen in their own homes. There
was ut this time no house in Paris which sold
material and made 1t up as WELL and this COM
bining of the two branches struck NJ Worth as
good idea, and he obtained permission from
his principals to try 1t. This he did, Begin
ming with cloals, and train that he designed
gained medal in 1858. The firm refused to
take him into partnership, although he
had been the means OF introducing profitable
and novel feature into the business, so he ds-
termined to start for himself. This he did at
his present premises, Rue de la Palx, in 1858.
He began by employing fifty hands.
AT the present time his establishment en-
ploys about l,20O persons, and turns out be-
tween 60j0 and 1000 dresses and between
5000 and 1000 cloaks year M, Worth was
assisted by his sons5 NJ CASTOR Worth taking
sole charge OF the counting house, and NJ
Jean Worth the technical part of the business,
in which he bids fair to be u worthy successor
OF his clever father.

GEN. HARRISON ILL.
Tho Ex-Presidcut n Sufferer from Grip
and Its Complications.

and Its Complications.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 1t.-Gen.
Harrison's condition is much improved
and his physician is hopeful of his
rapid recovery His trouble is an acute
attack of bronchitis and his condition
was regarded as somewhat alarming.
The fever has been rapidly reduced,
however, and his temperature is nor
NAL. He has been sick since Saturday,
March 9.
Mr. Harrison returned to Indianap-
oils Saturday, March ., from Rich
mond, where he had been engaged for
forty-one days trying the Nor
rison will case. He was in an en-
feebled condition and was also suffering
from severe cold. He became much
worse Sunday morning, March 3, and
was forced to keep to his bed. He was
too i'll to return to Richmond Monday
for the trial. There was such a change
in his condition Friday night that
carefully worded telegram was sent to
his daughter, Mrs. Mckee, telling her
it was advisable for her to come to the
sick mans home.
DIR. Jameson made several visits to
the patient Sunday and, while giving
out reports that are more favorable
than those of Saturday, it is apparent
from his manner that he regards
it as necessary to give the ex-
president the closest attention.
He has prohibited all study, and
does even allow him to indulge in the
lightest reading, such exercise increas-
ing the pain in his head and making
him very restless. Mrs. Mckee reached
his bedside at late hour Saturday
night and has been constantly with
him.
DIR. jameson said, after visiting him
Sunday evening, that if he continued
to improve he might be able to leave
his room within few days, possibly
within a week, but care must be exer-
cised to prevent a relapse, and es-
pecially to prevent additional cold.
Mr.. Harrison sat up for few moments
Sunday afternoon

NEGRO EXODUS.
Hundreds of Rlacks Leave Alabama for
Settlement in Mexico.

Settlement in Mexico.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March IA spe-
cial from Eutaw, Ala, says: Within
about forty days 500 negroes have
emigrated from Greene county to Mex
leo, and several hundred are now
awaiting arrival of trains to take
them away. They are sacrificing
their mules, horses, cattle, etc,
to enable them to go, and renters are
leaving plantations they have leased
for this year. Owing to the late date
other renters cannot be obtained to
make the crop. This means much loss
to the land owners and to the railroads,
as the corn and cotton will not be
grown to freight away. Much excite
ment exists here among land owners
over the negro exodus, but it is proba-
BILE that great deal of the
lands will be taken by emigrants from
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana and other states, and about
sixty home seekers from Tippecanoe
county, Ind, are shortly coming to
Eutaw. to select and purchase planta-
tions for their future homes. Owing
to the excited condition of the white
people it is not probable that further
efforts will be made by the railroad
people or by the paid emigrant's agents
to induce the negroes to emigrate to

Express Company Gets Judgment for
Money Stolen by Noted OUTLAW.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 11.-At Ver-
non, Lemar county, Saturday the
Southern Express company got ver-
dict for IS, 400 against Allen Burrows,
father of the late Rube Burrows, the
noted train robber, administrator
of his sons estate. The ver-
diet covers the amount Rube got
from the express company's cars on The
raids during period of nine years, and
the court gave the general charge in
the case. Old man Burrows had just
recovered S294 from the express COM
pany for confiscating Rube's pistols,
rifle, trunk, oxen, ETC., which was in
his possession when killed, four years
ago, and the express people quickly re-
taliated with this suit. These are the
most unique suits ever known in Ala
bama.

MORE FIGHTING.
Japanese Troops Win further Victories in
China.

China.
LONDON, March IL. The Central
News correspondent in Toxic quotes
this dispatch, which was sent from
Yin-Kao or New Chwang on March Z:
The first division reports that the forts
south and west of Yin-Kao, on
the left bank of the river, have
been taken to the last ditch
blown mp by the explosion of mine in
the Chinese line of defense. The Lao
river is still frozen. Wednesday Gen.
Nodzu reported that his army, with
the aid of the first division, had at
tackled the Chinese at Tenchantai
that morning. The Japanese ad-
vanced from three directions,
one force coming from the east,
one from the northeast and the third
fire was opened at Z a. m, and under
its cover the three bodies of troops
stormed the town shortly before 1O:30.
The Chinese numbered 10000 or more.
AT first they fought stubbornly but
eventually they broke and ran,
throwing down their arms and making
no effort to save standards or baggage.
Most of the Chinese fled to the north
west. Although the japanese loss YVES
but 100 killed, the Chinese left more
than 1000 dead and dying in and
around the town. ALI the enemy's war
material was captured. The town
caught fire during the fight and before
night was burned to the ground.

THE MOONS ECLIPSE.
Clouds Battle the Efforts of Scientists to
Make Dissertations.

Make Observations.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 1.-The
preparations that were made at Har-
ward observatory to observe the total
eclipse of the moon Sunday evening
were batfied by the unfavorable condi-
ton of the heavens. Prof. Pickering,
the director of the observatory, said that
there would probably be nothing of
scientific Importance in the eclipse.
Arrangements had been made to pho
tograph the heavens in the vicinity of
the moon in the hope of discovering
satellite or of recording oculations or
eclipses of smaller bodies.
New YORK, March 1.-THE eclipse of
the moon was plainly visible in this
city Sunday night. The night was
clear and propituous to the occasion.
After 10 o'clock the moon was, at short
intervals, totally obscured from view,
then segmental portions of it were sud-
denly revealed again. The celes-
tial spectacle was witnessed by many
persons who assembled in the city hall
park, though the hundreds of persons
who thronged the Brooklyn bridge had
the vantage ground for viewing the
various phases of the strange scene.
No scientific observations were made.

COLT is ExONERATED.
Ohio Militia Officers Work at Washing
ton Court House Approved.

Ohio Militia Ohicer's Work at Washing
ton Court House Approved.
CoLUMBUs, o., March 1.-THE find
ings of the special court of inquiry ap-
pointed by Gov. Mckinley in the case
of the Washington Court House riot
ing and killing by the troops,
was made public Saturday. The
court finds that neither Col A.
b. Colt nor anyone in responsible
command was under the influence
of liquor in the slightest degree, but
the soldiers were permitted to visit
saloons during the day preceding the
firing, and at least three of them be-
came drunk. This is severely criticised.
The disposition of his troops and the
plan of defense made by Col. Colt are
thoroughly approved, and the severe
measures lie finally resorted to to pre-
vent the capture and lynching of the
prisoner, were fully warranted by the
defiant attitude and the repeated as
saults made upon the courthouse.
Col. Colt is, however, criticised for per-
mitting the arms of a company to re-
main stacked and unguarded in easy
reach of the mob. The firing was fully
justified and the crowd had repeated
warnings to dispense. In approving
the finding Gov. Mckinley compli-
mented the troaps for their soldierly
action.

A MoTHER's AWFUL DEED.
She Consplres with Her Paramour and
Poisons Two OF Her Children.


Poisons Two OF Her Children.
PARIS, Tex, March 11.-Mrs. Mary
Caruthers aud James Strange are un-
der arrest here charged with the mur.
der of the woman's two children, aged
and ii years. Strange was farm
hand in the employ of Caruthers, who
lives 20 miles south of here. About
o'clock Friday night Mrs. Caruthers
went to her room, which the
children also occupied In the
morning when Caruthers awolSe
he heard heavy breathing in his wife's
room, and entered it to learn the cause.
There he found his two little boys in a
deep stupor, from which he was un.
able to awaken them. Medical aid was
summoned, but they both died at 4
o'clock. Mrs. Caruthers at first stated
that she gave them some chill tonic,
but the oldest child a girl of Ia, said
that it was morphine, and that her
mother gave her a large dose. The
woman then confessed that she had
tried to kill them all, declaring that
she did so to get them out of their
trouble, and said it was her intention to
kill herself. She said that it was the
fourth time she had attempted to kill
them. Letters and other evidence in
possession of the officers show that
there was a conspiracy between her
and Strange to murder the children
and leave the country. She is about 80
years of age, and fairly good looking,
while he is about 30, ignorant and un-
couth. En- route here the woman made
a desperate effort to leap from the
train, but was prevented by the guard.

Eight Men Imprisoned in Burning New
Mexican Mine.

SocoRRo, N. NJ, March 1.-THE
shaft house of the Old Abe mine at
White Oaks, Lincoln county, caught
fire Sunday morning, and in few mo-

completely destroyed. Nine men were
in the mine at the time, only one of
whom, c. +. Wilkinson, escaped. The

through the air shaft. The others We're
in the lower levels and had no chance
to make their way out. 1t will be i'm

OUTLAWS ROASTED.
Two Horse Thieves Driven Into a Cabin
and the Building Set on Fire.

and the Building Set on Fire.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, March ia spe-
cial from Enterprise, 1. T., says that
posse in pursuit of two men. who had
stolen band of thirty horses in the
Choctaw nation, followed the thieves
for three days, finally surround
ing them 10 miles east of that
place. The thieves refused to sur
render and kept up firing, hav-
ing dismounted from their horses and
taken refuge in the woods. The posse
pressed them closely and the fight was
kept up for two or three hours, both
pursued and pursuers firing as
rapidly as they could load their
revolvers. One of the posse in try
ing to head off the thieves received
a bullet in his arm, which shattered
it and caused him to fall from his horse.
Finally the entire party massed and
charged the two criminals, forcing
them to take refuge in a cabin just in
the edge of the woods. Here the
thieves barricaded themselves and de-
family proclaimed that they would not
be taken alive. After repeated efforts
to induce them to give up the
house was set on fire. Still the
men inside refused to come out, al

the posse who ventured near. At last
the frame of the building fell in, bury
ing the desperadoes in the ruins, and
they were roasted to death in the burn
ing building.
