POWDER EXPLOSION
INJURIES ATTACHES.
A Cigarette Believed to Have
Caused Explosion of Powder.
TWO MEN TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.
A Sunday Morning Accident at the Pawnee
Bill Show In which Four Men Are In
jured, More or Less. Two OF
Them Seriously.

Two men attached to Pawnee Bills
wild west show were seriously burned
Sunday noon on the show grounds, and
two other employees had their faces
blackened, through the explosion of sew
sral pounds of powder. The accident
occurred while large number Of people
were assembled on the grounds watch
ing the erection Of the tents and the
disposition of the paraphernalia, and
these scattered in all directions when
the explosion occurred.
1t appears that four men entered a
tent for the purpose of loading shells
for use in the exhibition. A large quah-
tity of powder was exposed while the
shells were being filled, and 1t is alleged
some one walked into the tent smoking
a cigarette, a spark from which ignited
the explosive. Homer Sweigart, cow
boy, was burned from his face to the
waist, somewhat seriously. A colored
attache named Jackson, whose home Is
at Columbia, s. c., had his eyes, face,
neck, hands and clothing badly burned.
For a time 1t was believed that the in
jury to the eyes would result In the
loss of his eyesight, but upon examina-
ton the attending physician stated that
this would not happen If further compli-
cations did not set n. c. Moore, whose
home is in Jersey City, also was Sc
riously burned about the face and hands
and together with Jackson the men were
taken to the Aultman hospital for sur
gical attendance.
DR.. E. D. Brant was called shortly
after the occurrence Of the explosion and
he rendered such attention as was neces-
sary at that time to relieve the men
temporarily from their pain. The fourth
man was merely scorched with the puff
Of the burning powder and not seriously
injured. Jackson is about "a years OF
age and Moore 26. Jackson is the most
dangerously injured.

Berlin, Dec. 13-In the recfstag the
imperial chancellor. Count Won Buelow,
replying to question ON the subject of
Mr.. kruger's failure to be received by
Emperor William, said the government
did all in its power to ward Off war
and left the two republics in no doubt
as TO the state of affairs in Europe
and of German neutrality.
When, in 1899, tho question Of arbi-
tration seemed not altogether excluded.

sought intervention, his feelings We're
too highly intiamed for the Dutch anGi
German governments. For the German
government it was lest time to give adj
vice. Germany Was convinced that any
step OF great power ut that moment
would be critical and lead To no result.
There Was no use for u.s. said the
chancellor. Ito pinch our fingers be-
tween the door and the hinge"
The chancellor added that when tho
suggestion of mediation was made to
Great Britain by the United States in
a quite gently worded inquiry. 1T was
rejected officially and catesorically. In
Prevention might have led To war
The chancellor described the reply of
NJ. Deleasse. the French minister of
foreign affairs, to Mn. kruger as:
France will i'm no case take the initi-
ativc, but would not oppose it when
certain eventualitics became known,
provided they are calculated to serve
French interests.

Although the Kruger matter viii be
taken up again in the reichstag, Count
Won BueloM's speech, evidently pre-
pared with great care, was so over
whelming in its array of powerful facts
that it amounted to II sweeping victory
over the entire opposition. The imperial

Denver. Col, Dec. l2.-Colonel Nelson
lldredge, who is registered in Denver
from London, England, tells of pre-

and ossitiea bodies recently found in
Converse county, Wyoming. Colonel
Eldredse says The aboriginal miners
probably had been searching for prec-
ious stones. probably turquoise. De-
scendins the Shaft. which he csti-
mates to lG about $50 feet i'm depth,
Colonel lGdredse at first could not find
any lateral workings. Closer scrutiny,
however, showed that there We're three
loves, and that TIE entrances to each
from the Shaft had been closely
sealed. Colonel Edredge With consid-
cradle difficulty removed the barrier to
one of the Levels and continued his ex-
p.orations. Apparently, he says. these
underground passages We're not only a
mine but also Il place OF refuge. He
believes they We're eAcavated by pen-
PIE similar to these who once lived
much farther south. He exhibits uten-
sis closely resembling those found in
