LOST PANTS AND MONEY.
Stolen From the Room of 7. G. Sullivan
While He silent.

Some one entered T. G. Sullivan's
room in the Will House early yesterday
morning and stole ,$205 in currency,
three $40 gold pieces. some silver coins
and 100 shares each of, Consolidated Viz
ginia and Best & Belcher stock, valued
at about $3.50. Mr.. Sullivan, who is a
miner, has roomed in the Will House
since last August. He retired Sunday
night about II o'clock and locked his
door, as he usually does. The mercy
and papers were in his pants pocket.
When he got up yesterday morning his
pants We're gone The door was still
locked and there was evidence Of some
thing radically wrong Mr.. Sullivan
found the pants in a vacant room, and
the money was not in the pockets. Som
one had entered the room by means of
a duplicate key.
The gentleman reported his loss to
Detective Murphy and had a search
warrant issued. which was placed in
the hands of the detective, who went to
the lodging house and searched the
chambermaid's room, this proceeding
being suggested by the fact that the
servant was supposed to have the Only
duplicate key to the room. She said
that Sullivan often left his door aiar,
while Sullivan says he always locks it.
No money, however. was found in the
chambermaid's possession, and up to
date no trace of the missing money has
been discovered.

Guy Churchill of G company, list

brother, Harry Churchill, a long letter
describing the fighting in the Philip
pines and the incidents Of the war with
the natives up to and including the cap
ture of Caloocan. The letter reads:
Il knew you would all be anxious
to get word from the front. l suppose
you want to know how it all came up.
You remember in my last letter to
father, I told him he must be tired of
hearing me tell him in every letter
that we were going to have trouble
with the insurgents when all the Amer
lean papers said that the trouble was
at an end and everything was quiet in

will tell you how it all happened, to me.
About o'clock Saturday night on Feb.
Captain Wynne came into our quar-
tiers and told us to get ready for fight,
as the Nebraskas were having trouble
at their Outposts. Brown pants, blue
shirts campaign hats and leggingS
were the order for dress. We did not
pay much attention to this except to do
as we were told, as we had dressed
this way several times before, when
they proved to be false alarms. But
at 10 o'clock we could plainly hear the
cannons and Volley firing at the differ
ent outposts. The first shot had been
fired at the Nebraska outposts. but in
less than three minutes every one of
our outposts had been attacked around
the whole 10 miles. You can see by
that that everything was all prepared
for the signal shot. They had boosted
that when they started in on us they
would drive us into the bay, and have
"a grand dinner in Manila the same day.
But the Americans baked. They
proved hard to drive. Captain Wynne
came down about 1890 and told us to
fall in and issued US 100 extra rounds

SO happy that he wanted to say some
thing that everybody would like to
hear so he said that he believed
Brother Van ought - get married.
Brother Van replied that may be he
would some day, but at that particular
moment he did not entertain any such
ideas. and there the matter rested, un-
til a few days later, when buXom lass
from the country near Bozeman, upon
being twitted by some IT her sunburnt
friends, remarked that she thought lots
of Brother Van, but didn't know how
Brother Van regarded her in his mo-
ments of matrimonial reVere.
A. K. Yerkes' paper got hold of some
of this gossip, and printed just enough
of it to lead the readers to believe that
a big wedding was on the tapis. Other
country papers Reproduced the article,
and of late Brother Van has been re-
ceiving hundreds of postals. express
ing words of tender congratulation and
the like. The presiding elder takes a
delight in reading them, but 1t is under

..z and Injured,

Waterloo, Ia, May 2e.-The most ter
rible wreck in the history of Black
hawk county was that which occurred
Saturday night on the Burlington.
Cedar Rapids & Northern railroad,
about four miles northeast of this city.
A passenger train of seven coaches, in
Guiding the mail and baggage cars,
was wrecked with a terrible loss of life
and great injury to many living. The
cause of the disaster was washout,
due to waterspout or cloudburst in

Following is list of the killed:
E. L. Arnold, Minneapolis: William A.
Mclaughlin, Minneapolis; H. R. Sheppe.
Alton, Ill.,; David Hello, Minneapolis;
George Wainwright, Burlington, Ia, con-
ductor of the train; F. S. Carpenter, St.
Louis; one body not yet Identified: William
Schollin, Of Waterloo, whose arm was
amputated in order to release him from
the wreck, has since died at his home.
Relief trains carried surgeons and
nurses at once to the scene of the wreck
to care for the injured. Seven or eight
of the injured were brought to Water
loo. Afterwards all were taken to
Cedar Rapids and placed in St. Luke's
hospital, where they are being cared
for. The surgeons state that none of
the injured are seriously hurt, and all
will recover.

Saw the Men CAPTURED

Manila, June 1. - Details regarding
the capture by Filipinos of two officers
of the United States hospital ship Re-
lief Tuesday have just been obtained.
The Relief lies in the harbor in front of
this city. Third Officer Fred Heppy
and Assistant Engineer Charles Bland
ford rugged a sail on one of the ships
boats and went sailing along the shore,
on the south, opposite the insurgent
lines. The boat became becalmed near
the shore and some native canoes with
Filipinos on board put out and captured
the two men, who were unarmed, and
also took possession of the boat. The
United States turret ship Monadnock
quickly sent boat with a landing
party ashore, under cover of her guns,
and shelled the shore briskly. The ma
tives, however, rushed the prisoners
into the woods before the Monadnock's
boat reached land.

Few Call for Cash

Havana, May 20. - Although the
American officers waited from early
morning until into the evening Satur-
day to pay the SIS each to Cuban SOL
diers, only seven insurgents proved
their claims, and not one of these sur
rendered arms. All receiving the money
were camp followers, there being no
fighters among them. Several others
who applied could not show any con-
nection with the army and were turned
away. Gold and silver to the amount
of 900 was ready and a strong guard
of soldiers had been put about the pay
masters office to manage the expected
crowd. 1t is the belief that the in
surgents everywhere will follow the
same course.

Des Moines, Ia, May 27.-The SUI
preme court affirmed the decision of
the lower court, which found Frank
Novak guilty of murder in the second
degree and sentenced him to life i'm
prisonment. The crime was committed
at Walford, Ia, February 3, 1897, when
Novak's general store was destroyed by
fire and the body of Edward Murray was
found in the debris. Circumstantial
and expert evidence showed that MUIR
ray was murdered. Novak had $4,000
insurance on his life and disappeared
the night of the tragedy. He eluded
the officers until July IL, 1897, when he
was arrested by detective in the Klon-
dixie, brought back and convicted.
