Man Who Lost His Ear, Describes His Fight.
San Francisco, May 5.-By the
steamer Moana, Auckland, a state
rnent has been received from Marine

in the fght near Apia, in which
Lieutenant Lsnsdale and Ensign

British and American warships was

advanced some distance and then
retraced our steps through a Ger
man cocoanut plantation. Sudden

bush, horseshoe in shape There
was only one way out of the hole,
and through this the friendly natives
were heading in a wild rush for
shelter. Foxworthy was the first
man shot. He dropped with shot
through the leg, and was carried to
the rear on a stretcher.
Our forces returned the fire, and
tried to get Colt gun into action.
This gun was handled by Lieuten-
ant Lansdale of the Philadelphia,
and he was trying to fix it, as it had
become jammed on the first volley
and would not work at all. The ma
tives were closing in on us. The
retreat was sounded aud made in
good order, and most everybody had
gotten clear of the ambush when

BOLD DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Murderer Moore Escaped From the Sheriff,

Hutchinson, Kas., May 5.-The
jury in the case of John Moore, who
mas been on trial here for three days
on charge numbering his five chill
dren il this city on the night of
March 10, brought in verdict of
murder in the first degree tonight,
after being out only few minutes.
Moore heard the verdict with the
same stolid indifference which has
characterized his demeanor since the
murder was done.
After the verdict was read and the
Sheriff had started to take Moore
back to jail, the crowd in the court
room was startled almost into a
panic by several revolver shots, and
rushed down the stairs, expecting to
find mob bent on lynching Moore.
Instead, they found that Moore / ad
broken away from the Sheriff, who
fred tae con ents of revolver after
him without hitting him.
The crowd started at once in pur
suit of Moore, who ran directly to
the home Of his father in law. He
was captured there after a desperate
fight, in which he used his teeth and
fists after the clubs he had seized
for weapons had been taken from
him
Moore crushed the children's
skulls with a club while his wife was
away from home, and then burned
the house over them. His defense
was epileptic insanity.
