SHERIFF RICKER'S SLAYERS.
Some of the Men Involved In the Crime Said to Be Surrounded
 in McDOuiEe's GuIch

Casper, Wyo., Jan. e.--Deputy Sheriff Kennedy and his men think they have Charles Woodland and one or more of the men who were impli- cated in the killing of Sheriff Kicker, surrounded in McDoulge's gulch. Ken nedy followed the trial to the gulch, which is located in the Rattlesnake mountains, and 30 men are now guarding the escape. Kennedy is not expected to return before Thursday.
 The man arrested and brought here as Frank $. Foote, proves to be Jeff Franklin, and Foote is still at large. Clarence Woodland and Franklin tes- titied before the coroner that they were not at the scene of the shoot ing, having lett the rest of The party before the killing occurred. They gave the officials such information as they had of the movements of the other two escaped prisoners. The excite ment continues and summary Justice is not unlikely should Kennedy re- turn with the murderers of Sheriff Kicker

bewildered by the shock and dark
 ness. groped their way along the
 walls seeking an exit. Some of the
 passengers walked through the tun- mel into the Grand Central station, while others made their way to the stairways below the south end of the tunnel.
 The bodies of the dead and many of the wounded were hoisted through the openings in the roof of the tun- nel, placed in the waiting ambu- lances. and rushed to the nearest hos pitals. No attempt was made at identification. Conflicting reports from various institutions. aided by Implications from other places caused the first account of the dis aster to place the number of killed and injured at an exaggerated figure.
 The tunnel in which the wreck oc- cured extends from Fifty-fifth street, just above the Grand Central station. and is about two miles long. It is under Park avenue, and there is an airhole in each block. Complaints have been made for long time, how ever, that it's ventilation was insutfi- cient and the New York Central has been considering plans for the use of electrical power in the subway so as to do away with the smoke and steam from locomotives.
 l. II. Franklin. manager of the Har- lem division of the New ork Central, made the following statement:
 We are investigating thoroughly, but We are first taking out the in jured and having them cared for. and until that is done the investigation can not proceed.
 ''So far as can be learned the wrecked train was stopped by the block signal system, because of wrong ahead. 1 don't know or have not yet found out what was the matter ahead. A tlagman jumped off the train, taking a red lantern and a railroad torpedo. He put the tor pedo on the track and waved his lantern to signal any train that might come up behind. Whether the engine of the coming train saw the fiagman, saw the lantern or heard the torpedo, if it went off, I don't know, and the fagman says he does not know. l can not now tell who was the flag man or engineer of the train"
 The railroad officials said the wreck did not take fire.

THE GAME OF WARNING.
A Household sport That Makes No End of Fun for the Young
 People.

This game may be played by aEy number of persons. IL requires neith- CT preparation nor material. and may. therefore. be introduced anywhere at any time. says the Louisville Courier Journal.
 Send one person from the room and then agree upon what he is to dc when you call him back. This should be some simple act. and yet one that he would not be likely to think of. say. for example, to look at himself in the mirror; 10 bow to a certain player: to take player by the hand and lead her or him to the middle of the room. or to take a sofa pillow and put it behind a certain players hack.
 Having settled what he is to do, you summon him back into the room by music arranged for the occasion. The music is to be made by tapping some metal object with a key. The best thing to use is poker, from which low or loud notes may be brought at will.
 As the player is to be guided by the music in the performance of his task, the musician must keep close watch on him and give him warning. When he begins to do anything like what has been appointed, the music should be low; when he does what he ought not to do. it should be loud.
 Let Us suppose. for example. that he is to take q sofa pillow and put it be- hind certain players back As he enters the room the music is making a great chatter, and this tends to keep him from collecting his thoughts. as it IS intended to do. Presently he walks toward the sofa where the pillow is lying. and the music becomes soft. This tells him that he is on the right track. He touches d chair and the music becomes loud. which tells him that chair has no part in his task. He touches the sofa and tLs music grows soft, and when he touches the pillow it ceases for moment and then begins again, very soft
 He now knows he is to do something with the pillow. but what? He stands and holds it-wronCi He puts it on the floor and sits on it-verv loud mu- sic. Then he throws # down before some player. but the music is still loud. Then It occurs to him that sofa pill low makes a good rest for ones back, and he puts it behind player. but the player iS not the one selected and the music does not cease, though it be- comes very faint. Its faintness sug- gests that he has hit on the right thing. but not the right player, and he tries player after player until he finds the one selected, when the music stops and his task is done.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
Misxourian's for Opposing . Former and Advocating the
 Present Bill.

Washington. Jan. 9.-The second day of the debate in the house on the Nicaraguan canal bill was opened oy NIT. Shackleford (Mo.), a member Of the committee which reported the bill He spoke earnestly in advocacy of its passage. He believed that the Eads Tehuantepec route was prefer able to any which had been proposed, but he did not think the present time for cavil. He did not like the Panama route, but if the new propo- sition of the Panama Co. offered ad- vantages over the Nicaraguan rout. he thought the president should have alternative authority to accept it.
 If you favor this bill," interposcd Mir. BarthoIdt (Mo.), "why is it that you and your democratic colleagues from Missouri at the last session yoJ- ed against a similar bill?'
 "Because," replied Mir. Shackle- ford. "the bill at the last session was passed through this house to the tune of God Save the Queen I want it passed to the sweet strains of Hail Columbia" Democratic applause.)
 "But the Hay-Pauneefote treaty was not ratified at the last session." observed Mr. Bartholdt
