MEETS DEATH IN MINE
Chas. Winchell Instantly Killed by
a Fall of Slate.

Chas. Winchell, a miner employed
with the Black Diamond mine just
northeast of the city. was killed
about one o'clock this afternoon by a
fall of slate About two tons of the
slate fell upon and over the man,
bearing him down and smothering
him to death. No bones seemed to
be fractured and the body was not
mangled in any way.
The miner was drilling for shot
and had been left by a companion
about twenty or thirty minutes. He
returned to the place where Winchell
was working to find him covered with
the slate. He was quite dead when
reached. Coroner Chas. Foehlinger
was called and took charge of the re-
mains.
The deceased leaves a widow, two
daughters and son.

BIG LUMBER PURCHASE
0skaloosa Manufacturing Company
Buys Sixteen Car Loads.

Ex-Mayor William Wray, Of Oska-
lSosa, representing the Freeman e.
Smith Lumber Company, made one Of
the biggest sales of lumber yesterday
TO, single consuming customer that
has ever been made in the state of
Iowa The sale was for sixteen car
loads Of the very best lumber han
died by the firm and it is for immedI-
ate delivery. The sale was made to
the Oskaloosa Manufacturing Com
pany and the price paid was upwards
of ten thousand dollars. It speaks
well for Mr.. Wray, for the firm he
represents and for the town Of Oska-
loosa. The deal is about as good an
advertisement as the Oskaloosa Man
ufacturing Company could desire. A
firm that can consume that amount
Of material must be doing some bus
mess. 4
Mr.. Oren Schee was seen by a Her
aid reporter this morning concerning
the sale Of the lumber and the gentle
man verified the statements made in
all particulars. He showed ship
ments made since August 26 Of twen-
ty-seyen cars Of finished goods to va
rious parts of the country. The
goods sent out are largely wagon
boxes and it is for the making Of
more of these goods that the large
consignment Of raw material was pur-
chased. Mr.. Schee says that the bus
mess Of the company has increased
thirty per cent over that done the
preceding twelve months. The fac
tory generally runs light in the fair
months and has closed down to some
extent in the winter. This will not
be done this winter. The company
now has enough orders ahead to en-
ploy full force of hands on full time
until. the first of February and then
the shops will be flooded with spring
orders.
This means that the present capac-
ity of the shops is being taxed, anJ
that increased facilities will have to
be secured in the near future to en-
able the company to- meet the de-
mand for its goods. Just what will
be done does not yet appear, but it is
certain that the present facilities and
equipment is not able to supply this
increased trade in the time desired by
the management. This will ultimate
ly result in an enlarging OF the fac
tory and an increase in the working
force. About thirty-five people are
now employed in the several depart
ments Of the manufacturing of the
goods sent out by the company.

SENT UP FOR IS YEARS
Richards Denied a New Trial For
Hamilton Robbery.

Indianola, Sept. 30.-Judge Apple
gate overruled motion for new
trial in the Richards case here this
morning and sentenced the defendant
to eighteen years at hard labor in
the penitentiary. This is severer
punishment than was expected and
is almost the limit of the law in such
cases. The story of the crime for
which an ex-United States marshal
must pay the penalty is familiar to
all. The robbery as committed on
Jan. 2, 1903 P. Sullivan and wife
were held up and robbed Of $1,000 in
their home near Hamilton. Sullivan
opened fire and shot and seriously
wounded one of the robbers, Frank
Baird. Baird was convicted and SEN
fenced to prison. He was witness
in the Richards trial and upon his ev-
idence the ex-oficer was convicted.
The jury was out only forty minutes.
1t is likely that Richards may appeal
to the supreme court, and he is en-
deavoring to get bonds for that pur-
pose.

FIVE SHOTS At WIFE.
A Buxton Colored Man Attempts
Murder in Abba.

Abba, Oct. Mrs Frank Humble
is dying and her husband is in Jail as
the result of domestic quarrel that
ended in the mans shooting his wife
while she was waiting to board a
train at the Burlington depot in this
city. The Humbles are colored peo'
pie who have been residing at Bux,
ton, where the man is employed in
the mines.
Particulars regarding the shooting
are hard to obtain as there were few
witnesses. 1t seems that Mr.. and
Mrs. Humble have had considerable
trouble and that the woman decided
to leave her husband, taking with her
their two little children. she came
to Abba, taking his watch, SO he
claims, in order that she might sell it
and get money enough to pay her rail-
way fare to Ottumwa
Mrs. Humble reached Abba about
the middle of the morning and at
once went to the Burlington depot,
intending, it is supposed, to take the
noon train for the east. 1t was while
she was waiting here that her hus-
band, who had learned of her leav-
ing Buxton during the morning, over
took her. People who CHANGED to see
the couple before the shooting, say
that Humble threatened his wife, de-
handing that she give him his watch
or the money she had obtained for it.
The woman called for help but lit
tie attention was paid to the quarrel
until Humble drew a revolver from
his pocket and shot point blank at
his wife. She was wounded but turn
ed and ran from the depot toward the
little restaurant directly across the
tracks. Before she could reach it,,
however, two more bullets had buried
themselves in her body and a fourth
had lorna. hole through the door Of
the restaurant The woman fell ex-
hausted at the door Of the little house
and the man turned and walked back
toward the depot,
Men who had been attracted to the
scene by the sound of the shooting
seized Humble, who made no attempt
to fight or free himself, and he was
turned over to Sheriff John Doner
and locked in the county Jail, while
charitable people took care Of the
wounded woman.
The two little children, who were
both with their mother at the depot,
looked on while the tragedy was be-
ing enacted, not knowing what it ali
meant. They will be cared for by
friends of the unfortunate woman UNI
til other arrangements can be made.
