Too Heavy To Be Rescued From Fire

Elmwood, Neb., Dec. 5.-lf Mrs.
Martha Schloatman had not weighed
so much-nearly 400 pounds-she
might have been alive and we'll rs
usual to-day. As it was, she perish
edin her burning cottage here yester-
day, because she was so heavy, and
it was impossible for those at hand
to pull her out OF the flames.
Mrs. Schlostman and her daughter
lived alone. She was 90 years old
aud a helpless invalid. When the fire
broke out her daughter tugged at
her to get her out, but was unable to
move her an inch. The daughter ran
screaming into the yard, and John
Folhurst, a neighbor, came and tried
to rescue the aged woman, hut the
fire had advanced too far, and he
only succeeded in severely burning
himself.

TROOPS RULE CRIPPLE CREEK.
Martial Law Has Been Declare d
by COIOradO's Governor.
The Blowing Up Of the VindicatOr
Mine is Given as a ReasOn--.Many
Arrests May be Made Today.

Denver, Col, Dec. 4.-Goyernor
Peabody issued a proclamation at
noon today declaring Cripple Creek
under martial law and suspending
the writ Of habeas corpus. He de-
clares the gold camp is in a state OF
instruction and rebellion and the
civil Authorities are powerless.
In support Of his action, the gov
ernor cites the blowing up of the por-
ton of the indicator mine and
other acts oflawlessness and declares
that 1t is impossible to control the
turbulence Of the camp by ordinary
peaceable methods. The proclama.
ton does not say in 30 many words
that martial law has been declared
and that the writ of hsbeas corpus
has been suspended, but officials at
the state house say that both these
things are intended. The military
will now deal with all alleged Offend
era and try to punish them.
Governor Peabody bases his deci-
sion to declare limited martial law
on the decision of the Idaho supreme
court, which declared that the act oil

Strube, who was arrested here yester.

made a full confession, and the story
OF his crime is CHASTITY, indeed.
According to his story, he and Miss
Henninger were riding in buggy

She laughed at him, and this so en-
ragged him that he struck her with a
monkey wrench. During the strug-
gle that ensued they both fell out Of
the buggy, and as she lay helpless on
the ground he struck her again with
the wrench, killing her. He dragged
her body into the brush at the road
side and buried it.
He then went to Quincy, ILL.,, and
although the police had been notified
to look. out for him and had his de
scription, he passed them frequently
on the street without being recogniz
