Adamson reports: The Alexander
left San Juan on Jan. 81, bound for
Hampton Roads on the evening of
the 10th, without warning, and in the
middle of a heavy sea, the propeller
shaft broke and disabled the steering
gear. AS much sail as possible was
put on, but owing to the injury to the
rudder, ii was rendered necessary that
the ship be not crowded too much.
The weather became steadily worse,
and the condition of the ship and its
crew more perilous. No assistance was
in sight.
Volunteers for a boats crew to try
to make Nassau were called for. / Of
fered to go. None of the sailors of the
Golfers crew, however, offered to EN-
bark in the whaleboat, with the ex-
ception of McClinchy, the boatswain;
the quartermaster. ships clerk and the
assistant engineer.
within three hours after the acct
dent we were in the whaleboat. For
two days and two nights there was
plenty of water but nothing to eat
except ships biscuit and canned meat.
About noon on Feb. IL, we sighted
the schooner D. H. Rivers, bound for
Savannah, Ga, from Port of Spain,
Trinidad. For hours we signalled in
vain. 1t was not until dusk that our
rockets were observed and We were
taken aboard. The next day the steam
er Admiral Schley. bound for Philadel-
phia, was sighted AMI l went aboard,
and Immediately upon arrival at the

The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1903-02-26

A reporter called at the jail Sun
day afternoon and had a few min
utes conversation with DR.. Gartrell.
The doctor said he had been enjoy
ing unusual good health up till FRI
day night, when he was sliced with
an attack resembling the grip. Said
he suffered severely during the night,
and did not remember the time when
he was so i'll. He was feeling much
better Sunday afternoon and
thought he would be himself again
in a few days. He has feshened up
since his confinement in Jail and in
general appearance is looking better
than when first brought to Butler.
He expressed himself as being hope
full that the governor would look
with favor on his case. In proof OF
his hope he handed the reporter a
letter he had just received from Rev.
Borroughs, who stated that he had
called on the governor and had been
promised that a stay OF execution
would be granted until a day in
April, that he might look into the
case, and consider the matter of CON-
mutation. Rev. Borroughs is the
Episcopal minister from Texas, who
was in Butler a few days ago inter.
esting himself in the case OF DR.. Gar.
trell on behalf OF the family.
The day Of DR.. Gartrelfs execution
ia set for March 9th, eight days from
to-day, and at the time OF going to
press yesterday evening Sheriff Smith
had received no notice from the gov
ernor interfering with the carrying
out OF the order OF the court.

in this case had deliberately taken
his team and hauled the mill away.
After hearing the evidence, the Jury
retired and in short time they came
in, the foreman handing to the court
verdict which read something like
this: "We, the jury, believe from the
evidence that the defendant, Har-
rington, took the sawmill, but since
it appears that he took it from a lot
Of damned rebels, we acquit him..

The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1903-02-26

The suit brought by John Morrow,
by his attorney, Il. W. Silvers,
against the Kansas City 4 Southern
railway company for ten thousand
dollars for the death OF his wife and
injuries to his daughter, was settled
out of court by compromise. The
railway company is paying MIR. Nor.
row five thousand dollars. Readers
ofthis paper will remember that Mrs.
Morrow was instantly killed and her
daughter seriously injured at cross
ing OF defendants railroad two miles
north OF Amoret last summer. The
ladies were in a buggy and did not
see the approaching train, which
struck their vehicle while running.at
full speed. Mrs. Morrow was in
stantly killed, the horse was killed,
the buggy was wrecked and the
daughter seriously injured. Mr..
Morrow no doubt could have secured
greater damages, had the case gone
to trial, but preferred to settle the
matter on the compromise basis
rather than wait the slow process OF
the law, as the case would have GER
tainly gone to the supreme court.
