SHAMROCK III
IS D|SMANTLED
Squa|| Catches the Cup Challenger and
Everything Above Board is Swept
Away---Lipton In jured.

WEYMOUTH, April 17.-While on
trial spin this morning the new
cup challenger, Shamrock Ill, had
everything carried away by the wind.
The challenger is left mere hulk
The accident took place immediate
ly after the yacht set sail on the
port tack. 1t had left the harbor
and was proceeding slowly when a
sudden squall struck the vessel and
carried away everything above board.
The yacht was completely dismasted.
The big mainmast fell over the side
into the water carrying with it the
immense top, halyards, rigging and
clouds of canvas. No word from the
yacht has reached shore as yet. 1t
will undoubtedly be refitted at once,
1t is thought with heavier spars. :.
The accident recalls the fact that
Shamrock II. was similarly wrecked
during a trial spin two years ago
with King Edward and Sir Thomas
Upton aboard. Fortunately no one
was hurt at that time.
The yachts We're scudding along
under a strong northerly wind. Sham
rock III. had put half mile between
her and the old challenger when it
put about on the port tack. The
squall struck and the vessel heeled
over until watchers on shore believed
it would capsize. Ratsey was sailing
her.
The entire deck was visible from
shore. Before she could right herself
a second puff caught her and the
| weather rigging gave way The mast
broke off six feet from the deck. Sew
eral of the crew were working on
the mast when it fell.
Sir Thomas Upton was knocked
into the hatchway and badly bruised.

WiIIiamK eefe, Desperate.
Will Be Sentenced
Tomorrow.
HIS RECORD IN BUTTE.
Served Term in Montana Penlten.
tIary for Killing a Boy
at Anaconda.

William Keefe, alias Jim Harrison,
withdrew his plea Of not guilty this
morning and entered a plea Of guilty
to the charge Of burglary. He will
receive sentence from Judge Richard
son tomorrow. There are two other
charges of burglary against him and
also a charge of attempting to shoot
Detective McDermott. These last
three cases We're dismissed on recon-
mendation of Deputy Prosecutor
Barnhart.
The capture of Harrison was one
of the most sensational in the history
of the local police department. When
accosted by the detective the thug
ran up Mill street drawing a Colt S
revolver from his pocket as he ran.
Seeing the weapon, the detective also
drew a gun and fired over the head
of the fleeing desperate in an at
tempt to intimidate him. But the
mans nerve did not forsake him. He
backed behind telephone pole and
attempted to shoot the officer. The
gun hung fire and that is all that
saved the life of McDermott, as the
desperate man had the drop on him.
Keefe then took advantage of the
fast thickening crowd and made a
dash for liberty. He ran down Main
street, followed by two more shots
from the detectives revolver He
dashed up the steps Of the Pacific
halls. where he was captured and dis
armed by officer Thompson.
Harrison's record was looked into
and In a letter recently received from
the authorities in Butte he is stamped
as dangerous criminal. The letter
stated that he killed boy named
O'Neill in Anaconda some years ago
and was tried and convicted on the
charge and sentenced to the state
penitentiary at Deer Lodge.
In 1899 he was sentenced to an
other term of three years for burg
larry committed in Butte.

following, went to the assistance and
the crew began to clear away the
wreckage.
Divers examined the hull to dis
cover if any seams had been opened.
A dispatch was sent ashore summon
ing Fife to Weymouth.
The hull is shown by investigation
to have escaped injury. Upton mar
rowly escaped the fate of the stew
ard, when the latter was swept over
board. He was struck by another
sailor and knocked down the hatch
way with sufficient force to break a
wooden tank cover on the cabin floor.
His hand was badly lacerated and
his shoulder bruised. Three of the
crew We're injured, one sustaining a
severe scalp wound.
Upton is much grieved over the
accident.
