BURNED BY GASOLINE.
Mrs. VIM. Griffin May Not Re-
cover from Injuries.

Mrs. William Griffin. of PIT East
Fourth street, was seriously and per-
haps fatally burned about 10 O'Clock
this morning by gasoline stove acci-
dent. Mrs. Griffin was cleaning off
the stove while it was lighted She
lifted off the gasoline tank, and in some
way spilled a quantity of gasoline on
her arm and side. The fire in the
burner ignited the spilled gasoline, and
in an instant the unfortunate woman
was enveloped in the flames from her
burning dress.
Mrs. Griffin's mother, Mrs. George
Leffler, of Burlingame, happened to be
visiting her daughter and was present
when the accident occurred. She man
aged to tear off the burning garment
from Mrs. Griffin, and saved her from
being incinerated. Mrs. Griffin's arm
and side however, are terribly burned
and DR. II. Fl. Kieth. who attended
her. considers that her recovery is
doubtful
Nothing took fire in the building ex-
cept Mrs. Griffin's garments, and no
report was made to the fire depart
ment.
The Griffin family seems to be get
ting a, little more than its share of mis-
fortune. Mr.. and Mrs. Griffin's little
son is just recovering from a long and
serious sickness with typhoid fever.

HOG CHOLERA SEVERE.
At Least 1000 Animals Dead
in Douglas County.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct 16-The scourge
of hog cholera has settled in a wide dis
trict in the southern part of the coun-
try, in the bottoms of the little Waka-
rusa, and the farmers in that vicinity
are suffering severe losses. William
Williams. who lives at Vinland, was
in town today. and stated that u thou
sand hogs at least had died in that To-
cality from cholera within the past
two weeks. Mr.. Williams said that
the cholera was so widespread that
practically all of that portion of the
county was in danger of the scourge.
John Witt lost thirty-five hogs last week
and other heavy losers are Garnes, Day
and Davis, in fact Mr.. Williams be-
lieves that scarcely a farm has escaped.
He himself is within half mile of a
pen that was particularly bad, and he
is taking heroic measures to keep his
hogs in healthy condition.
Mr.. Williams is going to take home
some unslacked lime to place in his
pig sites and is staving the disease out.
that is, he is holding the hogs down to
tine smallest possible feeds as it is well
known that fat, unconditional hogs
are the easiest victims of the disease.

A closer investigation of the number OF

WON'T Be HANGED
Five Mutineers Are Convicted of
Murder in First Degree.
Jury Verdict Is " Without Cap
ital PunisEaent."
IN PRISON FOR LIFE.
That Will Be Sentence Imposed
by the Court.
Jury Spent Over Twenty Hours
in Reaching Agreement.

IeaVenworth, Kan. Oct. 16.-AlI five
leaders of the Fort Leavenworth prison
mutiny of November, 1901, charged with
killing Guard Waldrupe, were found
guilty of murder by a jury in the United
States circuit court here this morning
without capital punishment, and will be
given life sentences. The prisoners are
Gilbert Mullins Turner Barnes, Frank
Thompson, Fred Robinson and Robert
Clark. all desperate men. Mullins and
Robinson had practically finished their
terms at the time of the outbreak. and
the others were short term men,
The jury in the mutiny case was out
from II a. m. Thursday until $50 o'clock
this morning. A hung jury was con-
fidently expected by the prisoners VINO
were in good spirits over the prospect
when the jury failed to make a report
before they were taken back to the
penitentiary last night. Attorney Joseph
Waters will make a motion for a new
trial or will appeal.
Judge Riners instructions to the Jury
in the mutiny case were favorable to
the government, but they did not deaf
harshly with the defendants. When at
8 O'Clock Thursday night the prisoners
were taken back to the penitent1ary it
was believed about the court house that
a hung jury would result and the prIs-
oners were in very good spirits over the
prospect The courts instructions were
that one of three verdicts should be re-
turned-acquittal, guilty as charged or
guilty without capital punishment. He
directed that the testimony of the pr1s-
oners should be considered without ref
erence to the fact that they were feIons
under sentence. but that it should be
given only such credence as cireum-
stances justified.
Judge Rfner charged the Jury that
each defendant was responsible for the
consequence of his act. that where one
aided, abetted or assisted in a crime he
was as guilty as if he had fired the
shot which killed. In order to become
principals in a conspiracy it was rot
necessary for them to meet in advance
and agree upon a plan, but in standing
by. encouraging or aiding in any way
they were responsible for results and
were guilty. Judge Riner told the jury
that it was crime for any prisoner
with less than life sentence to try to
effect his escape, and if they found
from the evidence that the defendants
were in the conspiracy, had the means
to shoot and did shoot. probably infict-
ing some of the eleven wounds on the
guard, Mr.. WaldruDe. it was their duty
to find them guilty regardless of any
sentiment for or against them

4. i'm Alaska Boundary Case.

London Oct 16.-The Associated
Press has the highest authority for say
ing that the announcement made by
the London Morning Advertiser today,
that the decision of the Alaskan bound
ary commission virtually comedies the
American case is entirely untrue. The
commission thus far, has reached no de-
cision and no vote has been taken even
in the private sessions which would
indicate Chief Justice Alverston posi-
ton It is quite true that the general
trend of opinion among those connected
with the tribunal. aside from the com
mfssioners is that the ultimate decision.
will be in favor of America, but there
is as vet not the slightest warrant for
sa wing it has been reached
Confirming the statement that no de-
cision in the Alaskan boundary arbitra-
tion has been reached, the st. James
Gazette this afternoon adds:

ism in Canadian circles

the highest priced seats at every per-

of the oldest theatrical chronicler when
it has happened before.

Tigers Fear the Indians.

Princeton. n. J.. Oct 16.-The Tigers
are girding up their loins for the game
with the Carlisle Indians Saturday.
Next. to the men of Yale. the Redskins
are considered the hardest aggregation
of players the Tigers will face this
year. The way the Indians defeated
Franklin and Marshall last Saturday
by a score of 80 to 0 has somewhat
alarmed the Princeton coaches. Penn
syIvania had all she could do to beat
Franklin and Marshall by II to 0 on a
dry field a few days ago, SO the big
score of the Indians against the same
team last Saturday looks ominous to
