PENALTY Is DEATH
SCOTT JACKSON FOUND GUILTY OF
PEARL BRlAN'S MURDER.
The Crowd Shake Hands With the
Jurymen and ThemseIves-Jack-
son still Claims That WaIEing
Committed the Murder and WALL
ing Says That jackson Was the
Murderer.

Newport, KY, May 16.-The Scott
Jackson case went to the jury at 10
o'clock this morning. Before retiring
the judges typewriter instructions,
the bloody clothes, letters, and other
articles that were shown in evidence,
were placed in their hands. At 1905
p. m. the jury returned with a verdict.
Amid deathlike stiffness the foreman
handed the verdict to the clerk, who
read as follows:
I'VE, the jury, nd the defendant,
Scott Jackson, guilty of murder in the
first degree, and fix his penalty at
DEATH"
The judge had previously announced
that no demonstration of approval or
disapproval by the spectators would
be permitted. Deputies were placed
throughout the room, with instructions
to bring before the court any person
dsobeying these Instructions. to be
punished for contempt. Consequently
the verdict was heard in silence. but
Immediately upon the adjournment Of
court the spectators rushed to the
jurors and shook their hands heartily.
They also shook each other by the
hands, showing a hearty approval of
the verdict of the jury.
Jackson himself received his doom
with no manifestation of emotion ex-
Cept an ashen paleness of the face.
None of his relatives were present.
The aged father of Pearl Bryan and
her brother, Fred Bryan, were present
when the verdict was rendered.
The usual motion for a new trial was
made, and then Jackson was taken
away to Jail. He had been surrounded
by a half-dozen or more officers when
the jury came in, and went out under
their protection, although there was
no demonstration to indicate q neces-
sity for so much care. The general i'm
preston is that the verdict is right.
In a long interview Jackson admits
his surprise over the verdict, and he
clair $ that he had proved an alibi. He
still maintains his innocence, and says
that Walling killed Pearl Bryan. The
prisoner is greatly depressed over the
verdict, and in his interview could not
suppress his Respondent feelings.
Walling has also been interviewed
since the verdict, and expresses his
satisfaction. He still maintains thai
Scott Jackson killed the girl, and de-
serves hanging.

principals over misunderstanding as

were Ill determined mood, and the
10000 people present felt sure of
Sood race when they came upon the
Jrack The appearance of the two
racers was made the occasion for a
hearty outburst of applause. Again,
during the race, johnson was accord
eel an ovation when he stopped to al
low his adversary to change a pune
tured tire. Upon the resumption of
the race johnson Leland after several
attempts to get Norm in front $50 as to
get him to set the pace) both stopped
and leaned against the railing NORM
thereupOn diSmounted and walked off
While Johnson finished the course. This
match was declared void. owing to tie
leaning upon the railing Upon this
the crowd hooted and applauded, ac-
cording to the direction their sympa-
thies took. A pacemaker was then pro-
vlded. Johnson again took the lead and
all efforts to get NORM in front proved
futile. AT the last bend i'll the course
Johnson spurted, but NORM caught
him and finished length ahead.
A second heat showed a repetition of
the tactics in the first, Johnson being
forced into the lead. He spurted on
entering the last lap, and gained about
thirty yards on his adversary, but was
again caught and beaten about a
length. The defeat of the American
pleased the crowd and the winning
Frenchman was frantically cheered
by the thousands Of spectators. Some
of Nlorin's admirers fiOcked to the
track and surrounded him, tearing his
sweater from his back and replacing it
by a tri-colored jersey, in which patri-
otto apparel they escorted him around
the track in a triumphal procession,
amid yellings and acclamations.
Johnson took his defeat in very good
part, though he did not altogether rel

corded him by either his opponent or
by the crowd After the race Johnson
said to a representative of the Associ-
ated Press:
Il was fairly out-paced in both tin
ishes all right enough But l desire to
express my regret that l was not
treated in more sportsmanlike man
ner by Norm After he had been paced
for two laps he fatty refused to rem

also pelted me with gravel as we went
along the track"
Tom Eck, .johnson's trainer, said that
the American would do better III

race in Paris next Sunday and May II

TOO MUCH WATER.
Serious Floods in Different Port
ions of WISCONSIN,

Serious Floods in Different Port
ions of wisconsin.
Chippewa Falls, Wis, May 15.--The
most severe rain storm that has Wis
tied this city for years ragged here to-
day. From two and a half to three
inches of water fell. The streets were
turned into creeks and the sewers
were unable to carry away the water.
Many cellars were filled. Very heavy
winds accompanied the storm. The
residence of John Smith was struck
by lightning, tearing the plaster and
partitions down. The Wisconsin Cen
trail road suffers the most by wash
outs between here and st. Paul. Be
tween Chippewa and Albertville 400
feet of track and four bridges were
carried away. Train No. > is held up
at siding and will not get through
for several hours.
Messages from Rloomer fourteen
miles north of here, say that a cloud
burst flooded the city and did much
damage. The same adyiceS say Dun
can creek has risen far above the
height it reached during the flood of
1894, when so much damage was done
between Bloomer and this city. The
water has already taken the fOunda-
ton of several buildings away, allow
ing them to settle III five or six feet Of
water. The dam belonging to the Con
solidated Milling and Power company,
which Was replaced about six months
ago. is still intact, but there is an
enormous pressure of water against it,
and it is not known whether it will
be able to withstand the current or
not. The creek is constantly rising,
and volume of water is flowing over
the crest of the dam, with the roar OF
Niagara. It is expected that the
water will reach Chippewa Falls at
midnight, but whether it will be q
repetition of the fCod of two years
ago depends solely upon the staying
qualities of the Boomer dam. From
advices received at Boomer it is safe
to say that the rainfall was much
heavier there than in this portion of
the country. Duncan creek has risen
three feet in this city in few hours,
and families living along it's banks are
preparing to move out.
Destruction at MenOminee.
Menominee, Wis, May Is. Ire
mendous rain storms last night ere
ated a flood in Wilson creek, which
flows into the Red Cedar at this point,
and this morning the Omaha and Mil
waullee railway bridges, two wagon
bridges and the dam at the mouth of
the creek went out with roar The
accumulated debris struck Knapp,
Stout & Co.'s electric light house,
brick structure. and washed away
about half of it, and then, MASKING
against the bridge across the Red Ce-
dar smashed it like a cookie shell.
The city water main across Wilson
creek also went out leaving North
Menominee without a water supply.
Electric light, telegraph and telephone
wires are down and all is confusion.
The loss will amount to $4,000. Pas
sengers for the Omaha are being taken
by team to Rusk, station OH the
main line five miles east of here. The
Milwaukee will be unable to get a
train through for at least a week.

Butte. Mont, May 10. VOID was
received here of the probable murder
of Il Mrs Emery at Pioneer. The wo-
man was alone at her house when 4
nan with rifle called, and when she
opened the door he fired two shots at
her and then escaped into the Hills.
The woman is still alive but is fatally
wounded. No cause for the murder is
known, but there is story that seven
years ago Mrs. Emery was married to
James McGurn, with whom she had
trouble, and shot him. She thought
she killed him and disappeared. but he
recovered. 1t is claimed that the man
who shot her answers the description
of her former husband.

TERRELL'S TRIP
1t Is Not Caused by Amy Emergency
I'm Turkey.

I'm Turkey
Washington, May Is. = The coming
of United States Minister Terrell to
Washington from his Texas home is
not because any emergency exists nor
any threat OF trouble in Turkey. He
has been summoned here by the presi-
dent for consultation. III view of the
fact that not much of his leave OF alb
sence remains uneXpired. it may be
that Mr.. Terrell will not return i'm
nediately to Texas from Washington,
but will rather choose to 30 directly
to his post. 1t was the understanding
when the Rev. Dr.. Knapp the Ameri-
can missionary who was expelled from
Bitlis, was brought to Constantinople
under charges preferred by the Turk
ish officials, that his trial would take
place before Minister Terrell, and
this fact may operate to hasten Mr..
TerrelFs return to Constantinople
