Jones objected h king imported

committing an assault upon Mr.. Boteler

Mr Boteler was the first witness. Point

REFUGEES DRIVEN TO WcksBuRe
Break a Mile Wide In the Levee on
the Louisiana Shore.

Vicksburg, April 1S.-An official report
says the crevasse at Biggs, four miles
below Delta, is nearly a mile wide, and
roaring torrent is spreading over the
lowlands of Madison parish with start
ling rapidity. This is unquestionably the
most destructive break that has yet oc-
Cured, and the loss to property and live
stock will be enormous.
A large portion of Madison, Tensas and
Concordia parishes will be inundated, and
the fine farms of Franklin and Cata-
cula parishes are in great danger. The
fertile lands of these parishes have been
prepared for this years crop, and in
many instances cultivation is well under
way.
All day long refugees have been fleeing
to this city with their stock and other
property. The water was II feet deep
against the levee when 1t broke, and
men who were on the spot say that 1t
poured through in vast circular masses,
or whirlpools 20 feet high.
Three white persons. two men and
woman passed Il hours in the midst OF
the furious waters of the crevasse, perch
ed in a tree The water reused them from
their beds and they had only time to seek
safety in the tree when the mighty HOOD
was upon them. They made known their
presence by shouts and pistod shots dur

rescue them were made, but 1t was not
until 10 a. M, until an adventurous crew
from the government steamer Eta Eth
ridge put out in yawl and rescued them

Damage to the Ship Will Not Prevent

Washington, April 16.--A further report
from the captain of the Oregon, now In
dock at Bremerton, Wash. shows that
the obstruction upon which the ship set
tied when waiting to enter the dock. was
the wreckage of a temporary cofferdam

a more detailed examination of the ships
bottom from the inside, goes to show that
the injuries are more serious than appear
now, it is probable no attempt will be
made at present to repair them, but the
work will be done when the Oregon again

ON A CHARGE OF TRAIN ROBBERY.
Joe True Held to Answer Before the
Federal Court.

Sacramento, April 16.-In the trial of
Joseph True, accused of train robbery In
Utah, but few witnesses were examined
by the prosecution. One of these was the
engineer of the train which True is ac-
cused of having held up at Uintah on Oc-
tober IA last.
The engineer, Daniel Rowland, said that
just before he whistled for DEVILS Gate
he heard a sound as of falling coal. He
turned and saw a man with his head hid
den by sack holding revolver in his
hand. The man drew a white sack from
his pocket and made the fireman cover his
head with it. He then compelled the wit
ness to slow down and later to stop, after
which he compelled MIN to walk back to
the mail car with him and stand by willis
he blew it open.
Fireman Mcfarland, who was on the
engine the night of the robbery, told a
similar story. He identified the prisoner
as the robber, claiming that he recog-
nized him as man he had known before
by his voice, size and actions.
True made no defense, and was held in
bonds of $4,000 to appear before the United
States district court. Today he was turn
ed over to the United States marshal at
San Francisco, and is now confined in

CASHIER BuTcHERED AT MIDDAY.
Heroic Struggle to Protect the Money
in the Bank.


Summersworth, N. H, April 19--While
resisting the entry of two desperate and
determined robbers and during a heroic
struggle to protect s150.0O0 or more in
money and securities in the compartments
of an open vault of the Great Falls Ma
tional bank of Somersworth. this after
noon, Cashier Joseph A. Stickney was
struck down and brutally murdered near
the desk which he had occupied for years.
After killing Sticlsney the murderers ram
sacked the vault and fed with all the
cash with the exception of a few gold
pieces. AS near as can be estimated
$4,000 was taken, but 1t is possible that
the loss will exceed this sum, as none
but the dead cashier knew the exact
amount that was in the institution at
the time.
The robbers, after knocking Stickney
down with a blackjack, cut his throat
The most remarkable feature of the rob-
berry is that 100000 in bonds of the UNI
ed States, which were kept in one of the
drawers of the big vault and which the
robbers examined hastily, were not TAX
en-. Neither were any of the negotiable
paper and securities of the bank-in fact
nothing is missing except the cash.
The men made their visit to the bank
at the busiest time of the day, in the To-
cality where the bank is situated, and so
completely and thoroughly did they ac-
complish their robbery that only an un-
certain clue and a very meager descrip-
ton was obtained
Mrs. Swazey left her desk at
noon. The cashier, however. remained
looking over the banks accounts, and it
is thought he was preparing to go out
when the robbers entered. The first sus-
picon that the bank had been robbed
was at two minutes to 2, when Frank
P. Reed went up the staircase of the
bank building and found the thick plate
glass in the outer door or hall door of
the bank completely shattered. He noti-
fed City Marshal Eaton, and they broke
in the door and found evidences of a
desperate struggle. On the floor in a
great pool of blood was the lifeless body
of Stickney. His head had been nearly
severed from the body, the robbers hav-
ing cut his throat. The head was mark
ed with several deep gashes made by a
heavy blackjack and the skull was frac-
tured. The body was covered with blood
and the walls and furniture bore addi-
tional evidences of the terrible deed.
Stickney had died fighting desperately.

MINES AND PROSPECTS
DEVELOPMENT, BONDING AND
SALES OF PROPERTIES.
Over the Mineral Producing
Sections of the Northwest.

The LIE Roi smelter is said to be an as
sured fact. The cost will be 100000, and
all the stock has been subscribed. With
the exception of two outside persons the
subscriptions are made entirely by hold
ers of the lie Roi stock. The plant will
have an initial capacity of $50 tons, and
can be easily enlarged. Heinze has con-
tract with the lie Roi which binds him
to take 1890 tons of ore for treatment,
and which binds the LIE Roi to deliver
that amount, with an option for Helnze
to take an additional 1880 tons If he
wants it. The mine is now taking out
$50 tons of ore daily, and when the new
hoisting plant begins work its capacity
will be largely increased. The owners
of the LIE Roi feel that they can easily
take care of the contract with Heinze
and supply their own smelter besides with
$50 tons of ore daily. The lie Roi will
pay another dividend of $25, 900 this month.
This amount will swell the total to $3i5,-
mn
