WILL SALISBURY EESIGNs
His Family Urging Retirement on 40
count of His Health

London, August 31.-A representative
of the Associated Press learns that the
rumors of Lord Salisbury's retirement
are due to the existence of agitation
within the premier'S own family; that
he takes the step in order to preserve
his health. His sons and daughters be-
lieve the strain of conducting the af-
fairs of the empire is bound to shorten
his life. In this they have been oppoS-
ed by several less closely related MEM
bers Of the Cecil family and almost all
the leaders of the unionist party. The
latter. SO far as can be ascertained,
are likely to prevail for the present, at
any rate in their contention that re-
lief from the duties of premier would
be very doubtful benefit to Lord Sal
isbury's health, which, just now is not
bad. considering his age. The unionists
admit that the selection of a successor
to Lord Salibury would perhaps precip-
itate an internal struggle. Hence the
extreme and as some of the members
of Lord Salisbury's family consider,
almost inhuman pressure on the prem
ier to retain power, which for him. has
lost all attraction.

Kansas City. August 31.-The hunt
for "Bossie'' Francis. the alleged muir
derer of Miss Mary Henderson at Co
lumbus has shifted to Strasburg, west
of Holden. Every foot Of country
around that town is being secured. At
noon it was Relieved the posse was
close to the fugitive.
The killing of Miss Henderson took a
the chase was practically given up.
The bloodhounds refused to take the
scent and it was hinted broadly that
the fugitive had made good his escape
by the aid Of white persons. A spe-
cial from Strasburg says: Many orig
ina1 members of the posses have given
up in disgust and have discarded their
guns, saying they regret the search
ever was begun. There are dozens Of
men in Johnson county who believe
that Francis was paid to murder Miss
Henderson by white persons who want
ed to get her out Of the way. AS the
case stands now it is believed that
Francis, if captured, will be tortured
for the purpose of making him tell
what he knows
Later-'Bossie' Francis was cap
tured at 9 o'clock. The sheriff's posse
is bringing him to Pleasant Hill. The
posse will, if possible, take Francis to
Warrensburg on the IL o'clock Missouri
Pacific train. The posse is composed Of
only a few men. One hundred armed
men left Molden some time ago, many
of whom favor lynching.
1t is rumored that the negro escaped.

and crashed into the passenger. There
was neither time nor opportunity for
escape. Mr. Downs car and that Of
the laborers were smashed into kind
ling wood, the occupants of the private
car meeting instant death. The debris
and shingles and lumber OF the freight
burned like tinder. The train crew was
forced back from its work of rescue by
the flames.
One man penetrated as far as the
private car. where he saw the dead
bodies of Mr.. Downs and his son. and
from where he dragged the body OF
the cook. In the iaborers' car many OF
the forty-six occupants were so pinned
in that they could not be reached, and
burned before the eyes of the specta-
tors.
The fire was so fierce that the rear
sleeper could not be saved, though IT
had not left the track. Its occupants
were buried into forward cars, which
were hauled ahead out of the reach of
the fire. The flames extended to the
brush alongside the track and burned
the telegraph poles.
A severe storm greatly retarded tel
egraphic news of the wreck. The first
message sent went to Kalispell, whence
the wrecker and all the surgeons in
that town were ordered to the scene.
The injured were given every atten-
tion and as soon as possible the train
with it's burden of dead, dying and in
jured was sent to Kalispell. Colonel
Downs death has cast a gloom over
the entire city. He was one of the
most popular railroad men ever sta
toned here. He was "a years of age
railroad service. Tomorrow he was to
have assumed the duties of vice presi-
dent of the Spokane Falls and Koote-
mai Valley road, at the personal request
of J. J. Hill. He leaves a widow, now
visiting in Bakersfield, VT, and one
daughter. Mrs. Rupert Blue, Of San
Francisco
Mr.. Downs and his son left Monday
in the private car with his guests,
Lieutenant Victor Blue, an American
naval officer, and wife. They accom-
panied their guests as far east as
Minot. N. D.. and were returning home
when the wreck occurred. Kirk Downs
was about q years of age and was en-
ployed as secretary by his father.

Negroes Arm to Save a Criminal

Richmond. Va, August 31.-A special
from Hot Springs, Bath county, this
state, says:
William A. Dudley, an overseer. was
assaulted and perhaps fatally wounded
by a negro named Allen Franklin to-
day. The assailant fed after his crime,
and when a party started after him
over the mountains, the negroes in
town armed themselves and started
after the fugitive's pursuers. So
threatening was the conduct Of the COL
ored people that it was necessary to or
ganize a shel iff's posse to follow in
the wake of the riotous negroes. At
one time it looked as if a serious race
conflict were imminent, but later in the
day the negro hand was halted, arrest
ed and disarmed.
The fugitive is still at large, and no
more trouble is apprehended. Precau-
tions are being taken against lynching.
in the event Of the fugitive's arrest.

Especial Correspondence


Columbus, Sept. Spl.)-Attorney
General Sheets has prepared an opin
ion in response to a request from
Prosecutor Robert II. Day, of Stark
county, in which he holds that County
Commissioners have no right to trans
fer funds. The prosecutor stated the
County Commissioners We're consider
ing transferring money from the build
ing fund to the bridge fund under the
general law authorizing such trans
fers.
The Attorney Generals opinion is Of
great Importance. 1t is to the effect
that the Legislature has 40 constitu-
tional power to authorize the perma-
nent transfer of funds. In support OF
this conclusion he cites article u, sec
ton of the constitution, which pro-
cept in pursuance of law; and every
law imposing a tax shall state dis
tinctly the object of the same, to which
it only shall be applied"
A special act of the last Legislature
empowered Stark County Commission
ers to transfer funds, which 1t would
seem from the Attorney Generals in
depreciation is invalid. Laws Of this
kind are enacted by every Legislature,
and Judge Sheets desires to establish
a precedent which will lead to the
abolishment of this practice.
