A GERMAN SHIP SINKS
Big Iron Training Vessel Goes Down in
the Me diterranean Sea.
THE NEWS is FROM MADAGASCAR
Persous are Said to Have Perished
in Their Efforts to Escape Frigate
Carried a Complement of 461-Be-
onged to German Navy.

MADRID, Dec. 1.-THE German
training frigate Gneisenau has foun-
dered off Malaga, sixty-five miles
northeast of Gibraltar. Private dis
patches that forty persons were
drowned.
The Gneisenau foundered at the en-
trance to the port of Malaga, where it
was about to take refuge from the ter
rible storm prevailing. at the pres
ent time only the masts of the vessel
are visible.
The training ship had been at Ma
laga since November /, practicing with
guns of large caliber. She had been
previously at Megador, Morocco.
At 10 o'clock this morning a review
of the cadets was in order. The wind
was extremely violent and instructions
were given to stoke up as rapidly as
possible. But already the mountain
u waves had struck the ship, snap
ping the anchor chains. She was driven
helpless toward the port and sank. The
men threw themselves into the sea and
chung to the w~reckage, but the major
ity quickly disappeared.
Captain freshman died at his post.
The Malaga lifeboat made heroic eff
forts and rescued fifteen, but the
weight capsiZed the boat and twelve
were drowned. The other three were
saved by means of ropes thrown to
them. The port authorities saved
many of the sailors. The survivors
have been received at the hospital, the
Hotel Deville and private houses.
All the theaters in Malaga abandoned
their performances this evening.
A large number Of the cadets can be
seen rom the shore clinging to the rig
ging. They are shouting and signaling
for help. The captain and many of the
cadets have been drowned. 1t is be-
lieved that a party who left in one of
the ships boats and have not been
seen since r also lost.
The total loss is now thought to be
not less than 100. Some dispatches
say 40. Forty of those saved are bad
ly hurt.

the government troops and the insur-

which lasted three days, the insul gents

On the contrary fears are entertained
at Colon that this body Of rebels will

Indians Burned to Death.

CANNON BALL, N. D., Dec. IL
An Indian family consisting of father,
mother and four children were
burned to death last night by the ex-
plosion of a can of gasoline. Another
family of father, mother and n
child are frightfu.ly burned and will
probably die. The Benton Transport
tation company had five tanks of
gasoline OF the river bank at Bis
marck awaiting a boat. The bank
caVed in and all the oil went into
the river. One tank was saved by an
Indian. Last night this Indian,
named War Bonnet, supposing the
tank contained kerosene, lit a match
to fill a measure, when the explosion
took place.

NEW BRAND LAW his PLAN.
SeRator-EIect Van Boskirk Intends to
Discourage Cattle Stealing.


LINCOLN, Dec. 1.-THE extremely
rapid growth of the cattle industry in
Nebraska has prompted the proposal of
several very important measures for
the consideration of the next legisla-
ture. From the great cattle plains come
appeals for more effective legislation
and with a view to ~remedying the in
efficiency Of existing laws a bill has
been prepared, under the direction OF
the officers of the Northwestern Cattle
mems association, which is designed
to increase and extend the protection
provided for cattle owners and ranch
men. The measure contemplates an
amendment to the Brand Marks Com
mission act reducing the membership
Of that commission to n man, and re-
vision for the inspection of cattle at
the markets, inspection of hides and
the publication of an official brand
book.
Senator-elect J. r. Van Boskirk of
Alliance will probably introduce the
proposed bill in the legislature. He
LIDS Dctn SSCleLdIy u Tic WcSIeIn
Cattlemen's association for several
years, and it is said that his bill will
reflect the wishes of the other officers
and members of the organization.
The principal object of the bill will
be to give cattle owners absolute pro-
lection against thieves.
III we succeed in ~enacting the pro-
posed law a man who steals a cow
cannot escape detection unless he de-
strOys the hide and eats the animals"
said Mr.. Van Boskirk. Provision
will be made for registering all brands
and for the publication of an official
brand book, and a man will have to
prove ownership before he can law
fully dispose of any cattle. If he takes
a quarter of a COW to market, he will
have to exhibit the hide as an evidence
that it is his property. The official
brand book will enable the purchaser
to compare the registered brand with
the brand on the hide and determine
whether they are the sam in design.

Jail Delivery at Beaver City.

BEAVER CITY, Neb.. Dec. IL
Charles Griffin and Arch Bisbee, two
prisoners of the county Jail, sawed
their way to liberty last night. A hole
C7x13 inches) was cut in the steel cell
through which they squeezed them
selves. -Four other prisoners refused
to take advantage Of the opportunity
and remained in their cells, although
they later refused to divulge any Of
the details. The escape of the two was
thus hidden from the officials.

BRAND LAW DOES NOT SUIT.
stockmen Want 1t Amended so as to Be
More Eff ca lous.


More Emcaclous.
LINCOLN, Dec. 15.-One of the in
Vulnerable bills that will be intro
duced in the next legislature for the
benefit of cattlemen of western Ne
braska viii provide for demonstrating
the state marks and brands commits
sion and changing in many places the
law which governs and regulates the
exercise Of its authority. 1t is pro-
posed to reduce the membership of the
commission to one man, who shall
maintain a permanent office at the
state house, and to raise the fee
charged for registering a brand from
$3.50 to $3.50. The existing commits
sion is composed of four members, in
Guiding the secretary of state, each of
whom shares equally the proceeds
from the registration of brands.
S. P. Delatour of LleWellyn, presi-
dent Of the Northwestern Cattlemen's
association and member of the NebraS-
ka commission, is one of the men who
are urging the proposed changes. He
has devoted more time to the work OF
the commission than any other man
and is interested in seeing its authori-
ty and jurisdiction extended SO far as
possible. During the few months of
its existence the board has registered
over 5000 brands, and applications for
nearly 5000 have been passed upon,
many of which were returned because
Of duplication. Cattlemen in all parts
OF Nebraska are manifesting cOnsld-
rable interest in the work, believing
that the time is not far distant when
the official registration of brands will
greatly benefit their class.
One of the arguments used in sup
port Of the plea for the amendments
is that the work of the commission
could be much more successfully pros
ecuted by II man giving his entire
time than by four men who meet on.y
periodically. 1t is also argued that an
increase in the fee would enable the
commissioner to enforce the law and
bring it into more general operation.
However, the matter Of fees is on
sidered of secondary Importance and
the increase would probably not be
urged should it meet with any strong
opposition.

PEKIN, Dec. 17.-Yesterday while a

munition, of which he took charge.
He went back to the mail station for

rifles and 100 rounds of ammunition.
When leaving the town he was fired
upon, but he did not return the fire.

Fancy Price for Live Stock.

OMAHA, Dec. 1.-THE prize cattle
that were on exhibition at the South
Omaha stock yards were sold at the
highest price paid in recent years on
that market. The 3-year-olds which
carried off first prize were owned and
fed by John Shannon of Hoskins, and
the Omaha Packing company brought
them at $3.50 per 100. 1t will be re-
membered that the same company also
bought the highest priced cattle last
year and paid $7.25 for them.
Mr.. A. w. Clark's load CT yearlings.
which were awarded first premium in
that class, were also sold at a good
figure. There were heifers in the bunch
and the fifteen head sold at Sc to the
Omaha Packing company, which is the
highest price ever paid for a mixed
bunch of yearlings on the South Omaha
market. .
