Kruger and Leyds Thought to Be
F~eathering Their Nests.
Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE British govern
ment is telegraphing to all the Ger
mar ports, making inquiries concern
ing Boer gold bars worth $3.50. 900,
which it is supposed have been
brought to this country from South
Africa within the past fortnight.
The bars are destined for Former
President Kruger and DR.. Leyds, and,
1t is presumed, had been concealed in
Northern T%ransvaal. Great Britain
will endeavor to legally attach the
gold if it can be located, on the ground
that she is entitled to all the assets
OF the T~ransvaal, because she has as
sumed responsibility for the debts of
that country, including the bonds is
sued prior to the war.
Gen. Botha's reply to Colonial Sec
rotary Chamberlain that the late Boer
government had no assets was strict
ly true as far as he xnew, but since
receiving Mr.. Chamberlain's letter
Gen. Botha learned, according to
seemingly trustworthy information
here, that Mr.. Kruger and DR.. Leyds
have in their possession $500, 900.
Gen. BOtha requested them to turn
over this gold for the benefit Of the
Boer people, but DR.. Leyds refused,
averring that the money was to be
used In UNFOLDING Boer nationality m
the future. Gen. Botha has notified
DR.. Leyds that unless the gold is given
up legal proceedings will be brought
against him.

BY GREEDY FLAMES THAT
ADD TO HORROR.

Chicago, Dec. with a deafening
noise a boiler in Swift & Co.'S plant
exploded shortly after 10 O'Clock Sat
urday morning.
Thirteen lives were sacrificed and
scores of employees, visitors and 9TH
ers we're injured. Huge boilers were
sem through the roof of the structure
and hurled hundreds of feet. Nobody
within the boiler room survived to
tell the story of the accident, and it
may never be known what caused the
explosion. A careful investigation,
however, convinced the experts that
the explosion was the result of care
lessness on the part of an employee.
who's life was lost.
Five minutes after the explosion
nothing of the building but a pile OF
twisted iron, bricks and mortar re-
manned.
Flames Attack Wreck.
Sheets of flame sprang from the
ruins and the spectators realized that
it would be impossible to save the
lives of those who were caught in the
wreck. The explosion was of such
force that adjoining buildings were
wrecked, torn and twisted like toys.
Men, women and boys at work in
adjoining departments were hurled
through the windows to the ground
below. Many of them escaped with
but slight bruises, but most of the
victims were hurt to such an extent
that it was necessary to remove them
to hospitals. The others were taken
to their homes.
While the fire was still burning, po-
lice; firemen and employees of the
packing firms began digging in the
ruins. Soon the mangled remains of
a man was discovered. At the same
time other scuer were digging with
Desperation to rescue several victims
who were still alive.
Bodies, Torn, Bruised.
Bodies, torn, bruised or, mangled.
were taken from the ruins and SEM
to the morgues.
Many theories were advanced as to
the responsibility for the disaster.
One inspector declared that the ex-
plosion had been caused by cold water
injected into the boiler, but a majority
of the investigators held the opinion
that the catastrophe had been caused
by low water.
Nothing definite was learned. how
ever, and as all the men in the boiler
room were killed, it is not likely the
cause of the accident will ever be
known.
1t is not thought the loss to Swift &
Co.. will amount to more than $780,
900.

of the disease spreading outside of

it are hampered by stock owners not
reporting the epidemic and the ex-
perts from the department having to

This is the first time in eighteen

DR.. Salmon will have from so to 100
