GRAVE ROBBERY
Charged Against a New Yorker.
Believed to Be an Effort to BLK
An Insurance Company.

Baldwin, Mich, November 20..H. v.
White, of New York, is under arrest
here, suspected of grave robbing for
the purpose of defrauding a life in
surance company of $4,000, the amount
of insurance on the life of his brother,
Frank M. White. November 10 H. v.
White came here for the purpose, he
said, of finding his brother, whom he
believed to have been foully delt with
somewhere in this vicinity. White
spent some time ostensibly looking
for the body in the vicinity of where
his brother was alleged to have been
camping at the time of his last letter
A body was found by White which he
claimed to be that of his brother. Lo-
cal people were suspicious. An in
quest was held, but it failed to estab-
lish the identity of the deceased. Fur
Their invest cation developed that the
body was that of Baldwin man,
Alex. Mclean, who had died in August.
His grave was found empty and in
such condition as to show that the rob-
berry had been committed very soon
after his burial.

Two Dead and One Dying.

Columbus, O., November 2O.-A
Portsmouth, Ohio, special to the State
Journal says: By an accidental ex-
plosion of blasting powder this morn
ing George w. Ferguson, quarry
man, is dying, two of his children are
dead and his wife and another child
are disfigured for life. Ferguson was
hunting for wood to build fire, and
found a powed key apparently full OF
coal. When he attempted to start fire
with this a loud explosion followed,
which knocked one entire side of the
house out. At the time, Ferguson, his
wife and baby in arms, and four little
daughters were grouped about the
stove. All were knocked down by the
force of the explosion. Iva, aged 6
and Cynthia, aged II, died almost i'm
mediately from injuries and Ferguson
was so terribly injured that he cannot
live. The mother and other children
are terribly burned and bruised and
may not live. It transpired that the
key was partially filled with blasting
powder.

A FOREST FIRE.
In the Ozark Mountains Doing Serious
Damage.

st. Louis, November pa special
to the Republic from Macomb, Mo-,
says:
The largest and most destructive
confagration that has ever swept the
Ozark mountains since 1884 is now cir
cumscribing this town for miles and
miles north of and parallel with the
Memphis railroad The autumn heavy
foliage has rapidly fallen since frost
and are supposed to have been fired
from sparks of freight engines this
afternoon. A scope of country thirteen
miles long is in flames, miles of fences,
orchards, plantations, farms and dry
pasture fields, stocked with cattle and
other animals, and many old settlers
homes lie directly in the line of the
rayaging monster, while neighborhoods
are advancing to the scene, but find
themselves totally unable to check the
flames, their only remedy is to hur-
riedly turn out stock ahead Of the
flames and desert the premises. The
altitude being 1850 feet above the sea
and a terrible southwesterly wind pre-
yailing, great destruction is imminent
The town of Macomb will probably be
destroyed.

set upon by two Mexican highwaymen.
One of the Mexicans clapped a pistol
to Powells head but the American
grappled his assailant and the two fell
from their horses. The second Mexi-
can, who was armed with a machete,
was in the act of plunging it into
POwelIs back when Hudson brought
him to the ground with a well di-
rected shot. The first Mexican was
rapidly overpowering Powell when the
latter called for help. Hudson went to
his assistance, when the highwayman
aimed his pistol at the advancing man.
Hudson was too puck, however, and
shot the man through the breast. The
two Americans then concealed them
selves in the mountains until they fin
ally decided TO surrender to the Next
can authorities. Hudson was thrown
into Jail at Tenancingo, but finally got
letter to his brother in this city, and
