Incidents of the Great Disaster at
Topeka.
Here are some incidents Of the rr
cent disaster caused by the great flood
at Topeka, Kan:

wife and three children were driven tc
the roof of their cottage on Friday
night, June %. They remained there
until 3 O'clock Saturday afternoon
when the cottage rose from its founda.
tons and began floating away. The
building struck a clump Of trees. which
held it. Scott managed to get his wife
and children into the tops of the trees.
He tore his coat into strips to tie the
little ones and his wife so that they
would not lose their hold and fall into
the flood. A cold north wind chilled
them to the bone. and many times it
seemed that they must succumb. Scott
called for help until lie was exhausted.
1t being impossible to make his voice
heard above the roar of the waters.
They. were all rescued at I O'Clock Sun
day morning.
Thomas Reese had a bitter fight to
rescue his wife and four children. H.

pluck. saved them all. One by u HI

one high point to another. He was
five hours in getting them to Il place c.

AS TO mETcALFE.

While he may technically be gull
ty of no offense, still James T. Met
calfe acted in anything but a discreet
and honorable manner. Even though
he knew that the man Herman was
not possessed of the printing plant
necessary to enable him to do the
work on which he bid, he was not JUS
tilted in resorting to the measures he
did to induce him to withdraw his
proposal. Awaiting himself Of the
right given him under the conditions
attaching to government printing con-
tracts-that the contractor shall have
facilities adequate to turn out the
work required-he might have refused
to entertain the Herman bid, giving
his reason therefor. Notwithstanding

sources, he would have had the salts
faction of knowing that the 4egula-
tions under which he acted justified
his action. OF course, Herman acted
anything but h%onorably and manly,
but Metcalfe is not altogether with
out blame and the suspicion will al
ways attach to him that he acted,
not so much from a desire to con-
form to the regulations as with the
wish Of doing something for the bene-
fit of the firm that gave employment
to his son. Whether the postmaster
general acted hastily and with undue
severity when he summarily dismissed
Metcalfe is a question open to dis
cussion.

THE JURORS UNDERSTOOD.

Conviction in the Jett-White murder
case that was tried at Jackson, KY,
last week, was not to be expected,
consequently when the announcement
of a mistrial came about everybody
was prepared for it. Several reasons
existed for believing that at the most
a disagreement would result. Ac-
cording to all accounts the adherents
of the two men charged with the
Marcum assassination had much to
do with the selection of the jurors
and, of course, it vas but reasonable
to suppose that they would take good
care not to select men likely to hold
out for conviction, no matter how
strong the states testimony might be.
Then again, the men who sat on the
case were not Indifferent to the fate
they had every reason tt believe would
be theirs should they do as they had
sworn to do-convict the defendants,
did the evidence justify it. No matter
how conscientious and brave men may
be, the certain knowledge that a
lurking assassin will lie in wait for
them and kill them without a mo.
ment's warning or possible show of
defense will deter even the bravest
from performing their duty, when by
the exercise of a little strategy they
may escape that performance and at
the same time save their lives and
those of their families.
The men at whose behests Marcum
was murdered are in control of the
courts and Offices of Breathitt county
and life is the forfeit exacted from
those who have the temerity or hardi
hood of incurEiFk their displeasure
The many eas61esassassination and
arson that Secured there of late

controlling faction will resort in it

NOVEL USE OF HEEP.

Shock of Heavy Guns.

Put In Battle ship TurretS to Test
Shock of Heavy Guns.
The new battle ship Henry Nv. has
Just been subjected to a six hours
trial, which has given satisfactory re-
suits, says a Paris cable dispatch to
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
During the trials the ships heavy ar
tillery was tested, and in order to dis
cover what the effect on the vessel
would be when the fore turret gun
was fired sheep were placed at the
posts which in action would be occu-
pied by those serving the smaller guns
over which the big turret gun fires.
After the discharge the commission
examined the sheep, which were found
to be stunned. but otherwise unframed.
1t was therefore concluded that as men
have a greater power of resistance
than sheep the gunners in the turret
would suffer no serious harm through
the firing of the guns.

DISGRACE TO MONTANA.

No matter what course Of reason
ing they pursued to justify their act,
The men who constituted the Glasgow
mob that lynched Jack Brown commit
ted murder, pure and simple, and for
which there can be no excuse. MOTH
ing they say can or will palate their
offense. Brown was in the custody
If the law and there was no reason
for doubling that he would be made
to answer for the offense charged
against him. The mere fact that ne
had been the companion of men who
were murderers furnishes no excuse
for those who took his life. II the
renorts from there are to be accepted
as true. Brown did not fire the shot
that killed the guard at the jail, and
certain it is that he was in nowise
implicated in the tragedy that occur'
red later on the prairie. He had been
recaptured long before it's occurrence
and was in ignorance of it until the
mo that came to hang him Informed
him of it. Thirsting for revenge and
determined to have some ones life
In restitution of those taken by the
men had been his companions, the
mob took him from his lawful custo-
dams and strangled him, an act that
made a murderer of every one who
participated in it.
The lynchers of Brown cannot say
that the matter is one that does not
concern anyone but themselves. 1t
reflects upon the good name of the
entire state. BY constituting them
selves as above the laws and the
courts whose duty it is to enforce the
laws. those men brought reproach up
on the state and placed it on the
same level with some of the southern
states, where mobs, and not the laws
and courts undertake to mete out JUS
tice and punish the guilty. There
is no call for mob law in Montana
and all efforts in that direction should
be condemned in unmeasured terms.

COLORADO PRISONERS DEsPER.
ATE DASH FOR LIBERTY.
USE WOMAN AS A SHIELD
Force Warden's Wife to Precede
Them Through Gate-RingIead-
ers Shot, Others Surrender.

Canon City, Colo, June 22.-The
courage of Warden John c. Cleghorn
and his guards today suppressed the
most desperate revolt that has ever
occurred at the Colorado p%enitentiary.
For a time the maddenea cOnvicts
swept away all opposition and a
wholesale Jail delivery seemed in
evitable, but the warden rallied the
panic-stricken guards, shot down the
ringleaders of the mutineers and
averted a catastrophe.
The revolt had been carefully plan
ned. The signal for the attack upon
the guards was given at 8:15 this
morning while some of the convicts
were at work in the washhouse. There
we're only a few overseers present
and they were quickly overpowered.
Headed by James Armstrong, the mu.
tineers, six in number, started fol
the main gate, Telling every guard
who attempted to interfere with their
progress.
Mrs. C%leghorn, the wife of the war
den. appeared when the gang was
within a few feet Of the gate. She
was roughly seized by Armstrong and
forced along in front of the maddened
prison-breakers.
The main gate was locked, but dyna-

structure was blown up. The con-
victs rushed through the opening to
freedom. They were forced to carry
Mrs. Cleghorn, who had tainted.
News of the revolt had been carried
to Warden Cleghorn and he rallied
the guards and manned the walls. =

shoot to kill, but don't injure my
wife"
The guards followed Instructions,
and while some remained on the
walls, others rushed through the gates
to head off the fleeing convicts, who
abandoned Mrs. Cleghorn about so
yards from the main gate.
Guard Redman shot Kircn Kuyken.
dali, and Night Captain Tom Clark
shot James Armstrong. Kuykendall
was instantly killed and Armstrong
cannot live. s
The fall of their leaders disheart-i
ened the mutineers and they surren-
dered without a struggle.
Besides Armstrong and K~uykendall
those concerned in the outbreak were
| Tom Fallen, Tom Fisher, Cauz Cor
| dova and Robert Caine.
k~uykondall was serving a sentence
for ore stealing and resisting officers
in Cripple Creek. Armstrong was
serving a sentence for robbery and,
was to be taken to Utah to be tried
for a murder committed in Ogden.

Navy ana Army Athletics.

Nav and Army Athletics.
The Navy Athletic association, which
has entire charge of athletics at the
Naval academy. Annapolis, has issued
a statement which defines the navy's
position on the disputed question which
brought about the cessation of athletic
relations between Annapolis and West
Point.
The difference Of opinion was wheth-
er or not a modified form of eligibility
rules should obtain in future contests.
Annapolis insisted that they should.
The rules as suggested by the navy
did not touch professionalism. but sim
ply declared that no student should be
eligible to play who had represented
any first team Of a college giving an
A. B. degree for four years. and that
no student should play who had been
on such first team until he had been
at the academy at least one year.
West Points position on this propo-
sition was that the fact of the large
number of students at Annapolis is
compensated for by the higher age Of
admission at West Point.
