that vast quantities of war supplies

Seattle, Jan. 29.-The man who was
killed at Lake Union was identified as
Charles AIarbacher, a waiter in down
town restaurant. Charles Shomo owner
of saloon in the tenderloin district of
Seattle,was arrested charged with the muir
der. 1t is alleged that MarBacher has
been annoying Shomo's wife by unseemly
attentions within the last few weeks. 1t
is further claimed that Marbacher is the
man upon whose trail the police have been
for several weeks for indecent exposure
towards little girls. The description given
by the little girls tallies with that of the
dead man. When Shomo was arrested q
rifle of the same calibre as the bullet
which dealt the fatal shot was found.
Shomo protests his innocence and says he
was asleep when the shooting is said TO
have occurred.

Mrs. Ellen Crosby has had narrow
escape from being buried alive In Craw-
ford county Ind. She had been pro-
nounced dead and preparations for the
burial were being made. While this
was in progress her daughter, 10 years
old, worn out by exhaustion, lay down
to rest, but her eyes had scarcely closed
before she sprang up and reremptorily
insisted that her mothers body be re-
turned to the bed. She remarked that
her mother had called to her in her
sleep, saying: Mary, don't let them
bury me alive" The undertaken com
piled with the daughters request, say
ing it was but dream, but the daugh-
ter stoutly claimed the contrary and
would not be denied. Nearly eight hours
passed, when Mrs. Crosby slowly open
ed her eyes and looked at her daughter,
who had remained by her bedside con-
stantly watching for return to life.
Mrs. Crosby is now considered in fair
way TO recovery

Fired From Third story Window.
Goebel, in company with Colonel Jack
Chinn and Warden l.. Lillard of the Frank
fort penitentiary, was walking up the side
walk leading from the street TO the state
capitol building, Goebel being on the right
of the three. When the three men were
two-thirds OF the distance from the street
to the capitol a shot was fired from the
third-story window OF the building occu-
pied by the offices of the governor, secre-
tary OF state and other leading officials OF
the state. The ball struck Goebel in the
side and he instantly dropped to the pave
ment. Chinn and Lillard instantly seized
him, Chinn saying as he did so:
Il guess they have got you, Goebel."

While Chinn was holding the wounded
man, supporting his head in his arms, four
shots were fired at both men. All of them
struck close, making the dust fly from the
brick pavement. Both Chinn and Lillard
stuck to their friend neither of them NOV

when Lillard ran for help. He had not

Republican officials acted with great
promptitude Adjutant General Collier
was sitting in his office when the shots
We're fired. He was not over 300 feet from
Goebel when he fell. He instantly rushed
out of the building, and, learning that
Goebel had been shot, telephoned to the
armory on the hill, where all during the
gubernatorial contest local company OF
infantry had been held in reserve, and
within 20 minutes company 30 strong
under the command of Captain Woicott
was drawn up in front OF the capitol
building.

To Continue the War.

1t has been learned by the Associated
Press that the queens speech at the re-
assembling of parliament will be colorless.
There will be short reference to the
war, chiefly confined to regrets at the ter
rible bloodshed and encomiums for the
men who have laid down their lives for
their country.
The whole proclamation indicates that
there is not the slightest idea of giving
up the war until Great Biitain's ends are
gained.
New York, Jan. 3l.-A London dispatch
to the Evening World says:
Buffers danger is now forcing itself on
the military experts. The committee of
national defense is gravely considering it.
Lord Roberts, it is reported, cabled the
committee that unless Butler and his
forces arrive safely from their present po-
sition to the south of Little Tugela river
they viii be in imminent danger of hav-
ing their communications cut. Lord Rob
erts has pointed out that Butler has with
him an immense transport train, carrying
his ammunition and supplies. This in
terferes with the mobility of his army.
Buffers main force is now about p
miles from its base at Frere and Chievely
1t is between the Big Tugea river, over
which it has retreated, and the little Tu-
gela river. over which it has to retreat in
order TO begin marching to its base
1t will take days for Buffers army to
get back to its base.
Meantime the Beers are in force at Co
lenso, only a few miles away from that

Guards We're placed at every gate lead
ing to the capitol grounds and nobody was
permitted to enter or leave. There was
talk on every side OF placing under arrest
every man who was in the building when
the shots We're fired, even including Gov
ernor Taylor, though, of course, nobody
believed for moment he had any knowl-
edge OF the crime. He expressed himself
Immediately after the shooting as being
extremely sorry that such thing had hap
pened. As soon as il was noised around
that Goebel had been shot, members OF
the legislature made a wild rush for tel
egraph offices and filed voluminous mes
sages to their constituents, and within an
hour replies began to pour in. The gen

and nobody, not even the guests of the

several other physicians who had been

the wound would not necessarily prove
fatal and that the wounded man would in

found, had inflicted d wound which was
somewhat OF a CHANGING nature and had
not gone through the lung in direct line,

London, Jan 3O.-The usual airy at
tempts to minimize the seriousness of the
situation in South Africa are entirely
lacking and it is frankly acknowledged
that the most serious effort of the present
war has most dismally failed. There is
no sign or wish of the leaders of public
opinion to disguise the ugly facts, but on
the contrary, there is every disposition to
face the full difficulty and discover the
best way out. In short, the policy voiced
everywhere is a gathering up of the forces
for more effective blows All hopes of the
speedy relief of Ladysmith have been sban-

striking Use of tho x-Rays.

A striking use of the X-rays is to be
made in the case of two sisters Joined
together in the same manner as the
celebrated Siamese twins. These girls
were recently discovered in Brazil, and
have reached the age of ten years. The
examination with the X-rays is to be
made with a view to determining
whether the bond joining two bodies
can be severed by surgical operation.
If the bodies are Independent. surgical
treatment would be justifable and pos
sibly successful, but if there is an ac-
tual connection between the two or
ganisms such step is, OF course, out
of the question.
