SHOOTS INTO BOX
Of GIANT POWDER
PrecOciOus Bisbee Boy
Meets an Awful
Death.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 1.-John McNally,
a precocious Bsbee youth, fired a bullet
from a 22-caliber rifle into a box of giant
powder in a mining shaft yesterday, just
to see what would occur. He never
learned the result.
The boy had gone out to spend the day
hunting with a companion. They came
across mining shaft which they decided
to explore. The shaft was thirty feet deep
and at the bottom was box filled with
giant powder, which had been placed there
by the owners of the mine preparatory to
doing the annual assessment work. A
large tub covered the box, to prevent an
explosion in case rocks fell from the side
of the shaft. The boys lifted the tub
from the box, and John McNally said he
would fire into the giant powder from the
ground above as soon as they climbed the
ladder to the surface.
Arriving at the surface, his companion
went to the end of the ore dump, while
John took aim. An instant later there was
a terrific explosion. Great rocks arose in
the air, and the earth shook violently for
several hundred yards The body of John
McNally was blown a distance of forty
feet, and the head was completely sew
cred.
The survivor Of the explosion ran to
town and spread the news of his COM
panion's death. McNally was the son of
a prominent citizen of Bisbee. He was
IA wears of age.

Mutiny Is Captured
by Deputies.
Fires at His Pursuers, Who
Bring Him Down With
a Bullet.

Topeka, Kans., Nov. u.-Frank
Thompson, colored, the leader Of the mu-
tiny at the Federal penitentiary, which
resulted in the escape Of twenty-six prts-
oners last Thursday, was captured eight
miles north of Council Grove this evening
by posse under command of Deputy
United States Marshal Prescott. Thomp-
son would not surrender, but was taken
after hard fight with the officers, in
which he was shot in the head without
being severely injured. No member Of
the posse was hurt.
Deputy Marshal Prescott has been In
Council Grove since Saturday morning, on
the lookout for escaped prisoners. There
are a number of them in this vicinity,
and several depredatiOnS have resulted
from their presence. This morning Dep
uty Prescott heard OF the reported pres
ence OF negro convict a few miles north
of town and Immediately set out to make
the capture, assisted by Sheriff Mitchell
and otEer officers.
The officers had just emerged from a
wooded trail when they caught sight of
Thompson running across the open He
was ordered to halt, but he answered Dy
wheeling around and doing some rapid
firing with his big 44-caliber revolver. The
officers then hred and Thompson dropped.
He was stunned and the officers easily
secured him.
Thompson will be taken to the peniten-
tiary tomorrow. AS he was the ring
leader of the mutiny he will be severely
nounced his intention several days ago of
having all the fugitiveS indicted for con-
Spiracy. ThOmpSOn'S sentence will IN
dOubtedly be hanging, while the others
will have their terms heightened.

armed deputies. Now there are but thir-
teen prisoners at large Lewis is a. white
boy, 20 years of age, who was sent up in

tence for larceny.
Three distinct gangs of convicts have
been reported at points fifteen miles
around Topeka since last night, and, al
though squads of penitentary guards,
deputies and farmers have been on the
go all day, night fell with only one cap
ture, that of Lewis.
From the descriptions received Warden
McClaughrey believes that the two cap
tors of Sheriff Cook of Topeka were
Arthur Hewitt, white, and Lon Souther-
land, part Indian. Hewitt, with Frank
Thompson, a negro, were ringleaders in
the outbreak and the Warden to-day in
creased the reward for their capture.

TWO TRAINS IN OREGON
COLLIDE ON A SIDING
Freight Cars and Passenger Coaches
Badly Wrecked, but No Lives
Are Lost

LAGRANDE, Or, Nov. 1.-THE west
bound passenger train on the o. r. and
N. this morning ran into freight train
No. Il, which was standing on the track
near here1 A light engine standing about
four car lengths behind broke the force
Of the contact and prevented the wreck
from being more serious, but the cabOoSe
and one stock car were converted into
kindling wood.
The engineer on the light engine, ex-
pecting the passenger train, had sent a
iagman back and Engineer Stanfleet saw
the signal, not in time, however, to stop
the train on the frosty track Many OF
the passengers received minor injuries,
but no one was seriously hurt. The win
dows of the coaches were shaken out and
both engines were badly damaged.

INDIGNATION MEETINGS
HELD THROUGHOUT GERMANY
Populace Greatly Aroused Over Eng.
lish Criticism of the German
Troops.

BERLIN, Nov. n.-Referring ito the
various meetings held throughout Ger
many to denounce the recent reflections
cast by Chamberlain in his speech at
Edinburgh upon the conduct of the Ger
man troops in the war with France, the
Cologne Volks Zeitung excuses the dem
onstration by pointing out that no Ger
man Government organ has printed a
sentiment, and that in the absence of
such a reputation public opinion must
find expression in other ways.
THE movement shows says the paper,
that the German people cannot UNDER
stand how British insolence can be put
up with, and how anybody can demonstra-
lively show anglomania.''
This is regarded as thrust at Emperor
William.

TREATY WITH DENMARK
NOT YET A CERTAINTY
New Ministry Is Not Well Disposed
Toward Cession of Danish West
Indies.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE project
ed treaty Of cession Of the Danish West
Indies to the United States is not so we'll
advanced as il was hoped would be the
case at this time. It is now doubtful
whether the treaty will be completed in
time 10 submit to Congress when it reas-
sembles next month. The delay appears
10 have arisen through the change in the
Ministry at Copenhagen, the State De-
partment practically having reached an
agreement with the Danish Government
on the treaty. In fact all questions of
large Importance had been adjusted when
the entry into power Of a new Ministry
not well disposed toward the new treaty
made it necessary to begin the work all
over again While the negotiations are
proceeding they have not yet reached q
point where it can be predicted certainly
that a treaty will result. The issues DO
not touch the price to be paid so much
as the conditions TO the feature of the
citizenship in the Danish West Indies
sought to be imposed by Denmark. The
United States desires simple treaty and
one that viii leave it at perfect liberty
TO deal with the islands without any re-
strictiOns.
