Immature Apportionment Bills.
The apportionment bills that have al
ready been introduced by various mem
bers Of their own accord as the product
either OF their own figuring or OF some
mathematical constituent all strike terror
TO the representatives in various districts
that are being shifted around like pawns
on a chessboard. The apportionment com
mittees will have to take these bills ard
work them out anew into some practicable
scheme. In all probability the apportion'
ment bill when II comes up for mai action
will have to be brought before the caucus
and made caucus measure.

Flames Set Toward Business Center
and Only Frcnsied Efforts of the

from Destruction.

GERING (via SCOTS Bluffs), Neb, Jan.
13-(Special Telegram.)-Iialf of an ex-
tensive block Of Gering's business buildings
is a smodering, smoking mass OF ruins.
The Graham building, Cochran building,
Charles Stewart barber shop and residence
building, were totally wiped out by IRE
early this morning. A heavy wind pre-
vailed during the time the flames were
raging but by strenuous labor the citizen
volunteers prevented the destruction OF
the principal business part OF the city
lying southeast and the Commercial hotel
Just north.
The fire originated in the Graham build
ing, which was occupied by the Beehive
grocery store. and +. $. Wood. with his
iewelry store. When first discovered the
fire had made such progress that not
penny's worth OF goods could be removed
from the building. The flames then COM
municated with the Cochrane and Stewart
building and all effort to check their
progress was unavailing A portion OF the
stock OF the NJ. A. Cochrane general store
in the lower story OF the first building
was saved. and all the barber fixtures and
household effects in the Stewart building.
The property in the upper story Of the
Cocbrane building, belonging to a lodge,
was burned
Mere conjecture and speculation alone
are advanced to account for the origin
OF the fire. The aggregate property loss
is large, but in most cases Is covered by
insurance. and new buildings will be erected
upon the site OF those destroyed

THE KILLING OF JIM JEWEL.
Circumstances of Homicide at Cedar
Crossing.

Lyons, Ga, Aug. 1.-THE circum-
stances leading up to the killing of
Jim Jewel, an account of which APP
peared in the Morning News Sunday
morning, are these:
On Thursday before the killing Jewel
was in Jack Mathews store, at Cedar
Crossing, settling an account. He laid
his pocketbook on the counter and
turned away a few minutes; when he
looked for the pocketbook again it had
disappeared Clyde Avant and several
other men were in the store at the
time, and when Jewel spoke of losing
the pocket book, which contained 81,
they all consented to be searched ex-
cept Avant who said that mo id
man should search him." That ended 1t
for that day.
on Saturday they met at Ben
Grace's store. Jewel. who is the mail
carrier between this place and English
Eddy, had just driven up
in his road cart when he
saw Avant. He told Avant that
he wanted him to give him his pocket
book; he knew he had it, as Seab Hall
and Bob Lewis both told him that they
saw Avant pick it up. After little
while Avant gave up the pocketbook.
When Jewel was about to drive off
got out of the road cart and went to
him. 1t seems then that they began to
quarrel. and that Avant struck at Jewel
with a pair of knucks. Jewel knocked
off the blow and drew small pocket
knife. Then Avant drew a pistol.
Ben Grace. who was watching them,
told him not to shoot that old man.
Avant lowered the pistol and Jewel
walked off to his road cart. AS he was
about to get into it Avant fired. the
ball passing through Jewels heart.
Jewel lived about two minutes, and
while Grace and others We're trying to
get him into the store Avant ran oft
and has not been captured.
A posse is after him and his arrest
is expected.
Jewel was between so and go years
old and leaves a wife and seven chill
dren. Avant is between 20 and 80 and
has a wife and two children.
