1t is surprising to many that foot ball
players and other athletes regard sprain
or bruise of so little consequence. One
reason of this is, they know how to treat
such injuries so as to recover from them
in few days, while others would be laid
up for two or three weeks, If not longer.
Writing from Central State Normal
School, Lock Haven, Pa, Mr.. w. H.
Losch, captain of the base ball club and

WARD DOUGLAS DENIES.

Colonel Ward Douglas, the we'll
known insurance agent, who has
been charged in a story printed in
Springfield, Ill, newspaper with
having broken his promise to marry
Miss Lillian Grey, of that city, de-
MES positively and unequivocally
that there is any foundation for the
charges made against him, which,
he declares, are instigated wholly
by his business competitors with a
view to injuring his reputation and
business prospects. AS Mr.. Doug
las is a married man, this story
naturally created quite a commo-
ton in social and business circles
in this city, where he is we'll known.
According to the story sent out
from Springfield, Mr.. Douglas, &C
companied by his wife and child,
paid visit to that city several
months ago, in the course of bust
ness, and remained at one of the
leading hotels for month. While
there he formed the acquaintance
of Miss Lillian Grey, the pretty
daughter of a respectable and we'll
to do mine operator. Mr.. Douglas,
it is said paid assiduous attention
to the young lady, to whom he rep
resented himself as a single man.
To Miss Grey and her relatives he
said that the woman who had &C.
companied him to Springfield was
his house-keeper, and that the
child was the son Of his niece. He
was devoted in his attendance upon
Miss Grey, and ere long an attach
ment sprang up between them,
which resulted, it is alleged, in Mr..
Douglas asking her to become his

FIXING THE JAIL

Work in preparing for the repair
of the defective jail wing of the
Whitman county court house is
progressing very slowly, says the
Gazette. James Good, who has the
work in charge, has four men at
work removing the earth filling
from beneath the 80-ton steel cell
cage. About two-thirds of the fill
to a depth of about15 feet has been
removed, and about ten days more
will be necessary to complete the
work of removing the earth. When
this is done the intention at pres
ent is to prospect the earth fill be-
low this to bedrock, said to be
eighteen feet, and if this fill is
found to be sufficiently firm to lay
a heavy concrete floor level with
the top of the foundation walls,
and lower the cell cage on to this
floor, putting grated windows in
the basement walls on three sides.
The jail will then be probably en-
tered from, the jailer's waiting room,
Just east of the woman's ward by a
stair case.

SHERIFF FOOLED.

The attorneys for Frank Smith,
charged with the murder Of En-
NETT Fox at Genesee last January
filed their appeal in the supreme
court last week, which under the
statutes of Idaho, gives a stay of
execution until after the case is
heard by the supreme court, says
the Mirror. AS the supreme court
does not meet again until October,
Smith can not be hanged until the
court hears the appeal, or if new
trial is granted, until after the next
session of the district court, which
convenes on the 9th Of November.
The attorneys have sufficient
grounds, they believe, to insure the
granting of the appeal. They have
evidence that the jury was not prop
erly drawn and that the officials
who drew the jury were prejuciced
against the defendant, besides nu-
merous alleged errors in the rulings
of the court during the trial.
Should the supreme court grant
a new trial and a fair jury, one not
infected by the bias of the officials,
there is no doubt but that he will
be acquitted.

came here and joined the Thomp-
sons in therestaurant, leaving their
only son at Merrill, Kansas, in care
of his grandparents.
The wife in despair at ill-usage
and INDECENT habits took a stu
alton about three months ago in
the family of A Tory, on his ranch
about four and half miles south
of Palouse. A short time after her
husband followed her out and
stayed two nights, when he was
ordered away by the Torreys, to
whom Mrs. Tays complained that
her husband had threatened to
shoot her. He returned Friday
week ago, and it is said had pro-
posed that she should enter house
of i'll fame to support him.
1t was her intention to have come
to Palouse with the Torreys Mon
dav to attend the circus, but learn
ing that her husband would be in
town, stayed at the farm alone, fear
ing trouble if they came together
1t was reported that Tays was in
Palouse in the morning inquiring
of several parties where Nellie was.
He found that she was at the Tor
rey ranch alone.
He was last seen alive obout noon
at the postoffice, where he got his
mail, and must have at once ridden
out to the scene of the tragedy. At
that time he did not appear in an
unusual state of mind, but rather
happy.
William Torrey, noticing his alb
sence, suspected some evil, and
went home, but arrived too late.
On opening the door he received a
shock, for on the floor the body of
Mrs Tavs laid, a stream of blood
oozing from a bullet wound in her
temple. Close by the body of Tags
lay, killed by his own hand by a
revolver which was still clasped in
his right hand.
Coroner Shaw of this city went
to the scene of the murder and sui
eide Monday and held an inquest.
1t was found that both had met
their death from bullet wounds ad-
ministered by a wea pom in the hand
of Tays.-Colfax Commoner.

TRAGEDY NEAR PALOUSE.

A shocking tragedy occurred at
Palouse Monday Albert Tags a
worthless and shiftless husband
who frequently ill-used his wife,
killed the latter and then put a
bullet through his own brain, at the
farmhouse of A. TORY, five miles
south of Palouse, Monday ,1ast.
She had refused to live with him,
staying with the Torreys. Monday
morning he came to Palouse but
found that she was at the rauCI
alone, the rest Of the family being
in town attending the circus. He
at once rode out to the ranch.
William Torrey, who went home
shortly after, discovered the bodies
in the kitchen, wallowing in blood.
She was shot in the temple. No
signs of a struggle were discovered.
The full particulars leading up
to the tragedy are as follows:
Mrs. Tags was the daughter of a
Mr.. Smith of Merrill, Kansas, and
married A. L. lays II years ago.
Shortly after their union the hus-
band developed lazy and dissipated
habits and at times depended on
his wife's industry for his support,
They emigrated west and located
in Tacoma, where they stayed three
years. After a visit to Kansas they

consent to the marriage, and the
date of the wedding was set for
May 10.
When all arrangements had been
completed for the wedding, Mr..
Douglas returned to this city, tell
ing Miss Grey he was going to send
his "house- keeper" back to Califor
MIA with the child. Shortly after
his departure a mutual acquain-
lance of Mr.. Douglas and Miss Grey
astounded her by informing her
that her prospective husband was a
married man. Miss Grey at first
refused to believe the story, but
when the mutual friend repeated it
to her father and furnished indis
putable proof of his assertions, she
was forced to believe him.
When the news of the dupl city
of Douglas was received by Miss
Gray's father and brother, they de-
termined to give him, should he re
turn to Springfield, a reception that
would forever deter him from a
repetition of the offense. Mr.. Doug
las did not 90 back to Springfield,
but remained in this city, where he
is at present, as calm and unruffled
as though nothing out of the ordi
nary had happened.
Although the genial insurance
agent makes a sweeping denial of
the charge that he had made love
to Miss Grey and had promised to
marry her, the young lady exhibits
a basketful of letters which she has
received from him during several
months of correspondence. All of
them are couched in the most en-
dearing terms, addressed to MY
Darling Lillian" my Own Oar
ling" etc, and signed "Your Own
Loving Ward" your Own True
Ward"
In the face Of this seeming con-
elusive evidence, Mr.. Douglas calm
ly and persistently brands the
young lady's assertion that he had
promised to marry her as a false
hood.
OR Langdon is responsible for
the circulation of these stories"
said Mr.. Douglas, because he is a
business enemy of mine. [ know

Springfield during my visit there,
but [ never paid her such atten-
tons as would lead her or anyone
else to think contemplated marry

[ have been twice married, my first

Mr.. Douglas is AZ years old, and
is man of handsome appearance.
At present he and his wife are not
living together, and it is said, they
have agreed upon a separation for
causes which he refuses to make
public, but which, he says, is not

A MIGHTY SWORD THRUST.
A PsoiAo swordash Penetrated Thirteen
Inches Of the Irmgard's Bottom.

Inches Of the Irmgard's Bottom.
The swordfsh ia eombative monster,
aId the weapon with which nature has
provided him Is terrible enough when d.
rected against his natural enemies Of the
500. But It's foolish fish that runs
amuok with an oak bottomed barkentine,
and Its most vicious thrust Is apt to bring
more woe to itself than its enemy, though
the crew Of the Irmgard had hard time
of 1t on voyage from Honolulu to San
Francisco.
Two days out from Honolulu a heavy
gale struck the ship and lasted for "a
hours. Just as 1t subsidized 1t was discov.
cred that the ship was leaking 1t was not
q bad leak, but the water was creeping very
slowly up the hold, and under ordinary
circumstances would not have given much
trouble.
But the Irmgard had cargo Of sugar
aboard, and leakage meant big loss unless
1t was promptly checked So the pumps
were rugged, and every two hours detail
of Inen was set to work for is or 30 min.
utes to keep the water down. This course
was pursued for the entire long voyage.
When the Irmgard was unloaded In
port q search was made to find the cause
Of the leak. A sailor ran across the cause
In the bottom Of the hold, 1t was an inch
of swordtish sword protrudlng from the
bottom
Examination showed that the sword,
driven with tremendous force, had pene.
trated Ave inches Of planking and eight
inches Of lining 1t was broken off two
inches below the outer sheathing, so that
10 inches of sword came home with the
ship. Tho monster, after this terrific
thrust, must have exerted tremendous force
to free himself from the grip of the oak,
for he had worked sufficient hole around
the imprisoned sword to permit Of con.
siderable leakage.
Three or four planks had to be removed
before the sword and its surrounding wood
could be cut out. The specimen was then
sent 70 the city museum. Exchange.

HUMAN FOOD FOR vULYURES.


The Uncanny Methods by Which the Par.
secs Dispose of Their Corpses.
The Parsee towers of silence ore among
the most curious of the many burial places
Of the eastern countries But little is
known Of them, and no tourist has sue.
ceeded In gaining entrance to one Of the
towers no matter what pretext he might
devise nor what amount he might offer.
The Parsees keep vigilant watch over their
dead and resent any attempt on the part
of foreigners to pry into that particular
part of their peculiar customs and habits.
The towers are perehed on top Of the fa
nous Malabar hill, just out Of the city Of
Bombay. Nobody but priest is allowed
to approach within certain distance of
them, and guards are kept posted at every
possible avenue Of approach to stop the
curious from getting too near When O
corpse Ia taken to the tower, the mourners
are compelled to stop at the line drawn
where priests may enter, but others ore
debarred. The holy men take the body
from there to its final resting place. Each
body has separate tower, and the position
of the tower Is gaugsd by the sex, ago and
social position of the corpse before death.
They are not protected, and the body is
left to the mercy Of the wind and rain, and
the beaks of the ghoullike birds that may
be seen perched upon the walls drawn
thither probably by the odor Of decomposi.
ton, finish of the flesh In quick time.
The bones of the body pass under tho In
fluence of beds of quicklime and are thus
consumed, while the fluids are conducted
by underground channels to the sea.
There have been many grewsome finds re.
ported In the neighborhood Of the towers
Of portions Of arms, legs and other parts
of the bodies being found by passersby
which have been dropped by the vultures
in their flight. But Of all this there is not
word in verihcation They might come
from the towers or from some other place.
The Parsees maintain their strict secrecy
In all cases. The burial places are well
named the towers of silence. York
