FAMINE IN TEXAS.
People of Zapata County in DepIor
able Condition.

Corpus Christi, Tex, April s-The
entire population of Zapata county is
in a deplorable condition and many
persons are on the verge of actual
starvation.
There has been no rainfall for two
years and former fertile acres are now
nothing but glistening sand dunes.
The bones of thousands of animals
strew the plains and death and DESC
lation are seen on every hand.
Judge McLane recently went to Car
rizo, the county seat of Zapata, to hold
district court, but adjourned court as
soon as it was convened. The grand
jury was impaneled, but Immediately
adjourned, informing the court there
was no feed to be had at Garlic for
their horses.
The small amount of corn on hand
sells. at SIS hundred pounds and fod-
der is not to be had at any price.
Judge McLane says some means
must be taken to get the people away
from the county if great loss of life is
to be prevented.
Nine-tenths of the live stock in the
county is dead and within a few days
the last animal will perish.

Three Men Blown to Pieces

led Beyond Recognition.

Oskaloosa, April 9.-(SpeciaD-
the result of the explosion of the boil
er in James Carter's sawmill at Poor
ia, little town fifteen miles north
west of this place, late yesterday af-
ternoon, Dudley Boyd, James Shaffer
and Frank Myers are dead, and the
proprietor of the mill, James Carter,
is probably fatally injured. The prop
erty is completely destroyed and the
situation is one which words can but
poorly describe. The remains of the
dead men are mangled almost beyond
recognition.
Particulars Not Known.
Peoria is not in telegraphic COM
munication with any place and is not
located on any railroad, and .conse-
quently particulars regarding the ca
tastrophe are hard to obtain today.
The coroner of Mahaska county has
gone to the scene of the accident and
will doubtless hold an inquest there.
this afternoon or evening.
The first news of the affair that
reached Oskaloosa came by the way
of New Sharon, to which place a mes
senger came for an undertaken as
soon as possible after the explosion
occurred. From this man it was learn
ed that the boiler which exploded and
caused the loss of life was an old one
that had been patched several times
and was considered dangerous. 1t is
supposed that there was more steam
on than usual at the time of the acct
dent and the metal would not stand
the strain. The only survivor of the
accident, Mr.. Carter, is SO badly in
jured that he can throw no light upon
the affair as to it's exact cause.
The noise of the explosion brought
all the inhabitants of the village hur-
rying to the scene and the sight that
met their eyes was enough to make
ones heart stand still. Charles Hale
was the first to reach the ruined saw,
mill, and he and others who followed
soon after picked up the dead and
wounded men and bore them to their
homes. One body, fearfully mangled,
was found thirty feet from where the
men had been working at the time the
boiler exploded. The three men were
killed instantly.
Two Were Married.
Two of the dead men, Shaffer and
Myers, leave families. They were
each about as years of age. Boyd
was about S5 years old and was I'M
married Carter is a married man of
middle age.

A CAMP IN MISSOURI.
British Supply Depot Is Maintained at
Lathrop.

Chillicothe, Mo-, April 9.-The inves-
tlgation by the United States govern
ment of the British army supply camp
in Louisiana may extend to other
camps which are in existence in differ
ent parts of the country. 1t is no secret
that at Lathrop, not fifty miles from
Chillicothe, the British government
maintains horse and mule supply de-.
pot for its army in South Africa. Sew
eral thousand animals are always on
hand at this camp and they are ship
ped to New Orleans in lots of 500.
Stables, barns and pastures accom-
modate the animals here, and the Brit
lsh officers stationed at the camp re-
ceive horses and mules from point in
the west and northwest The horses
are branded for use by either the cav
airy, mounted infantry or the artillery
and the mules are bought for pack and
wagon train purposes.

CHANCE FOR MRS. HossAck.
Supreme Court Reverses Decision ir
Aged Iowa Woman's Case.

Aged Iowa Woman's Case.
Des Moines, April 9.-(Special)-
The supreme court today reversed the
verdict of life Imprisonment in the IA
nous Hossack murder case and the
aged woman who was sentenced to
serve the remainder of her days in
prison on the charge of killing her hus,
band is given another chance to prove
her innocence and may possibly be
freed.
Two years ago Mrs. Hossack's hus-
band was found dead in bed at their
home near Indianola with his head
split open with an AK. The circum-
stances attending the murder were
most mysterious and for long time
an investigation was carried on with
out result. Finally Mrs. Hossack, who
is very aged woman, was accused of
the crime, was arrested, indicted, found
guilty and sentenced to Imprisonment
for life.
1t was shown that Mr.. and Mrs. Hos
sack did not agree on many things and
that they quarreled frequently. Mrs.
Hossack claimed on the trial that some
person unknown to her entered the
house and killed her husband while
she was in bed with him. This theory
was borne out, it is said, by testimony
showing the dog kept on the premises
barked furiously the night of the muir
der, something he was not in the habit
of doing. Suspicion, however, pointed
SO strongly to the dead mans wife
that she was finally arrested and con-
victed. Many people in Indianola and
in the vicinity do not believe that she
committed the deed. 1t is said that
Mrs. Hossack did not have the strength
to deliver blow in the manner in
which her husband was killed.

Half Hour.

Brussels, April 9.-King Leopold
was mobbed by socialists this after
noon upon his arrival here from Biar-
ritse. The meeting between the so.
cialists and the king was quite acct

for his majesty, whose automobile was
surrounded by the excited socialists,
who shouted Long live the Repub-
lie! Long live universal suffrage!"
and waved red flags in the kings face.
The socialists had collected at the
railroad station to bid farewell to
mebers of the delegation of Spanish
republican deputies who had attend
ed the socialistic gatherings here.
The police this morning informed
the Spaniards they must leave Brus-
sells forthwith and the delegates were
escorted to the station by large
gathering of socialists bearing red
flags. The king happened to arrive at
the same time and had difficulty in
getting his automobile out of the
crowd, but finally found an opening
and out-distanced his pursuers. rs
