The teachers of the colored public
schools Of Jacksonville, Fla, have set a
magnificent example, and proven
themselves worthy of tae support and

the Board of Public Instruction closed
up the schools more than two weeks

they have gone right on with the
schools as though the authorities had
not given them orders to ''close up"
These teachers are continuing the
schools in order that the children may
be prepared for the next year, and in
erder that the pupils may not rerget
what they have already learned during
this term OF school. The work of these

W. R. Caswell was well enough
last Sunday to explain how he met
with the accident that laid him up
for several days. He was engaged
in cleaning the machinery out Of the
coal shed. At the particular time
be was working big box of ma
chinery toward the door, he having
got it on one corner and was whirl-
ing it cornerwavs towards the door.
One corner of the box, or nail in
the box, caught in his shirt sleeve.
and threw the box OF its balance.
Mr.. Caswell attempted to jump out
OF the way but the shirt sleeve catch
held him, and the box fell oyer onl
him, knocking him down and strik-
ing him on the right shoulder and
lightly on the forehead. How long
Mr.. Caswell laid there IS "a question,
but probably not over five or ten
minutes.

w. r. Caswell, who was injured
in an accident at his coal sheds on
the Northwestern system, on We'd
nesday morning of last week. and
who, as result OF his injuries, has
been suffering from deranged
brain, left his home about two
O'Clock yesterday morning, and has
not been heard of up to the time
that THE GAZETTE went to press yes
terday afternoon.
Mr.. Caswell was heard leaving
his room by his sister, Mrs. B. A.
Ferris, at the time above stated
She supposed that he was going to
an clubhouse and paid no attention to
his leaving until about twenty min
utes later when she awoke her hus-
band and asked him to Investigate
the matter. Mr. Ferris. with Ian
tern, made a careful inspection Of
all outbuildings, and not finding
Mr.. Caswell came down town and
informed Patrolman Heldhouse. A
little later the two men awoke a

o clock. when large number of the
friends of Mr.. Caswell were aroused
and put on the search.
| For the next two or three hours
searching parties were going over
the fields east of the residence,
through the woods along the banks
of the river, ETC., while the tele-
phone was used to communicate to
other towns in hopes that Mr.. Cas-
well could be found. All of the
searching and telephonipg came to
naught and at IL o'clock the search
around Redwood Falls was prac-
tically given up, the theory being
that Mr.. Caswell had wandered far
away from the city while despondent.
A search of his room showed that
he had dressed himself in his usual
business attire before leaving it.
He had also taken his revolver. with
box OF cartridges. Going down
stairs he took his. broad brim hat
and macintosh and then left the
house. He appears to have retired
from the north side as footprints
made by shoes that he wore were
noticed.

They have been registered at Hotel
Francois under the aliases Of ]
Halle and Randolph Smith, giving
their addresses as Chicago. On the
day Of their arrival it was supposed
that they were Lind strikers, but
On the following day it became I
known to one or two outsiders that
they were here in the interests Of /
an insurance company. They made /
it business to see farmers and i
others who. it is alleged, have held
cash or storage tickets in the Atlas /
elevator. Their object was to find
out whether they had sold the |
wheat, or had stored it, or had ever
hauled the amount claimed to the |
elevator. In a few instances the
farmers seen,. it is alleged, claimed
that they had never sold any wheat
to the elevator, or had never placed
any in storage.
Yesterday morning, after the dis
appearance of Mr.. Caswell these
two men claimed that they, had
enough evidence to show that there
was shortage of 5000 bushels in
the elevator when it burned. The
company S claim was that there was
II, 900 bushels in the house. These
men claim that the salvage amounted
to only 1900 bushels, and that not
over 1900 bushels were destroyed
by fire. They also claim that the
leak has been going on since the de-
struction of the first elevator, They
further contend that they were to
have seen Mr.. Caswell at ten o.
clock yesterday, and that he -disap-
peared purposely to avoid meeting
them. They further contend 6bat
they are now able to place the5r
hands on the person who set FIRE td.
the elevator, a. person who had. 10
official connection with the same.
On Friday last. the two sleuths
had several farmers into town from
west of the city. One Of the parties
was in until 1890 clock. He was
George Clark. From the inquiries
made of these various farmers it is
claimed that the sleuths discovered
where storage tickets had been is.
sued for 1000 fictitious bushels.
Andrew Francois OF Three Lakes is
another party in whose favor stor-
age tickets were issued,> and who
claims that he had sold no wheat to
the Atlas elevator. He was in town
yesterday ready to sign complaints,
it is stated.
A very systematic canvass of all
the tickets issued during the last
II years has been made by the in.
sarance men, and as result there
has been much talk on the streets
over the matter, farmers and others
who have been approached by the
agents, getting together and talk
ing about what the trouble was
over.
It's claimed that some high ele-
vator official is likely to be unearthed
as knowing something about the
destruction Of the elevators. The
last one. was destroyed on the night
after the death of W. G.. MARITIME.
and during that right Mr.. Caswell
was with Mr.. Pratt at the MARITIME
residence all night.

plants 60 far as to criticize the
action of the inspectors of the in
terror department now charged
with the work Of making the al
lotments, and quiet limitations
have recently been made that un-
less the work progressed more
rapidly in the future than in the
past that congress will be asked in
December TO institute an investiga-
ton.
Last winter congress passed a
bill which became a law on June
8, providing for the opening of
the reservation to settlement and
the allotment of portion of the
lands to the Indians. The bill
provided that three months after
the act became a law the reserva-
ton should be thrown open to set
tlement and the allotments to the
Indians should be completed un-
less, in the discretion of the secre-
tary of the interior, a further
extension of time was necessary,
in which event Secretary Hitch
cock was empowered with author
ity to extend the time for the
opening of the reservation to set
tlement ninety days longer, but
in no event should the work od
the reservation exceed six months
from the passage of this act.
Unfortunately for the interior
department no provisions of thu
law, and the mistake was not dis
covered until after congress hac
adjourned. Secretary Hitch
cock, however, made the best o

On the 10th Of July special

the allotting of the land to the
Indians progressed so slowly that
it became evident that at the rate
the special agents were now NOV

years to complete the work that
congress had declared ia no event
should require more than six
