Feud Causes Fight,

80OO S0Oo0o &AK0Cs
The fight is the elimination Of feud
between the Rout and Tow families.
which has existed for several years. The
Routs reside at Bedford, eight miles
east of Bryantsville, and the Tow boys
are farmers near here. The latter are
relatives of the Tow family which par
ticipated in the notorious Tow-B Bass
feud, which formed bloody record for
Lawrence county and southern In
diana.
A free gravel road election was held
here Tuesday, and the little village Of
300 was crowded. Farmers from the
surrounding country gathered, and
there was considerable drinking. Short
ly before noon the two Rout brothers
drove into town in a livery rig. The
Tow boys were standing near each 9TH
er in the crowd around the cleo
ton booth when the Rout boys drove
past, and it was whispered through the
crowd at once that trouble would fol-
low.
Two weeks ago at Social affair the
smoldering hostility between the two
families had been rekindled by fan
cied insult to Charles Rout by young
woman who favored one Of the Tow
boys. Hostilities were averted at the
time. Tuesday the Rout brothers
openly announced on their arrival here
that they had come to ''even things
up"
Many Shots Fired.
Within five minutes from the time
the Rout boys arrived in town they
were seen approaching the booth. The
Tow brothers drew together, and. after
a whispered conversation of few Sec
onds, stood about ten feet'apart await
ing the arrival of the Routs. There
is q dispute as to whether there were
any words before the shooting began,
and 1t is also in doubt as to who fred
the first shot, but it seemed to be mu-
tually recognized that. it was death
battle. Each of the five men drew a
revolver and each side advanced, all
firing.
The men were not Is feet apart
when the firing ceased and on the
ground lay two men dead, and one
dying. with two bullets in his breast.
Two others were wounded seriously by
blows on the head with the butts Of
revolvers.

The Awful Disaster.
New York, June 1.-THE three
decked excursion steamer General Slo-
cum, of the Knickerbocker Steamboat
company, burned to the waters edge of
North Brother island, East river. at the
entrance of Long Island sound, Wednes-
day morning, resulting in the death
through burning or drowning of atleast
200 persons, mostly women and children.
Carried Excursion Party.
The Slocum, with the annual Sunday
school excursion of st. Marks German
Lutheran church Of this city on board,
was proceeding up the river to one Of the
many resorts of Long Island sound.
When near One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street, persons on shore saw smoke
and flames spring from the upper part
of the crowded steamer. Apanic ensued
on the boat almost instantly. The
crowds on the forward deck began to
spring overheard or to crowd to the after
part of the boat. The screams Of the
terrified passengers could be heard on
shore and hundreds of small boats i'm
mediately put off to the rescue. Owing
to the rocks on either side of the channel
at this point, it had been impossible to
beach the vessel The captain stuck to
his post at the wheel and headed the
vessel straight up the river for North
Brother island, where she was put
aground in the shallow water. Several
hundred feet of open water still lay be-
tween the burning steamer and the
shore and many persons persisted either
in the water or ON the burning vessel
after she had been beached. The boat
was beached at the reef at the northern
end of North Brother island, where she
rapidly burned to the waters edge.
Decks Give Way.
It was just before she beached that
the hurricane deck, the supports of
which had burned away, fell with its
load of women and children, adding
to the panic and horror of those on the
deck below. Very soon after parts
Of the second and third decks also caved
in. But before this happened the tug
Walter Tracey had come alongside the
burning steamer and been dashed to it.
Many of the passengers were taken of
by. the crew of the Tracey, which re-
NAMED alongside the steamer until the

them we're frightfully burned. having de-
layed leaping from the boat until their
clothing was on fife. Some died in the
improvised ambulances in which they
were hurried from the shore. Every man
on board who could swim went over

of these heroes lost their lives, because,

THE WIDOWS NIGHT-CAP.
BY cHARLEs SLOAN REID.

BY CHARLES SLOAN REID.
 (Copyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pub. Co)
 There was not a man in town who would dare say he was not afraid of the widow Horn. She was among the old est inhabitants of Tecumseh. and had her own peculiar ideas about how the affairs of the town should go. There was scarcely a merchant of any kind in the place who had not at some time had the benefit of Elvira Horns vocab- ulary of raillery. The lawyers had caught it in copious showers. the doc tors had been scathed by 1t, and the preachers had had a taste of 1t. The wo- men of the town stood in awe of her, and the young people scarcely dared en- joy a social function, in fear of some slight impropriety on the part of some one which might set that tongue of the widow Horns wagging. She was a yer itable pin, a thorn in the flesh, an ever present menace to the special peace of the town. She declared 1t to be the most indecent. unprosperous and onery she would not leave it.
 raculous escapes from death by acci- dent. But each incident of the kind had served but to add a new subject of com pIaint to her long list without plotting out from her memory any of the older ones. It never rained hard enough to keep her out of the streets all day. and it never grew cold enough to make her cling to the freside. It was as neces- sary for her to walk as it was for her to breathe-and talking meant railing. .

 Descending the ladder he ran from the flames, just as a crash, from falling tim bers was heard from te inside of the building. Reaching the opposite side of the street, whither the crowd had re- treated, a voice rang in Mumford's ear:
 Well, Ellis Mumford. ye are good for something"
 Mumford almost dropped his burden in amazement. for ,.,e widow Horn had just made her way through the crowd and was standing before him.
 The woman in his arms had evidently tainted But he quickly turned her head and looked into tine face under the night cap. The face was young and start llngly beautiful.
 'Who-who is this?" stammered Mum ford.
 Why that's my grand niece, Mabel Appleby, from Hampshire. Jest got here last night. Put her hair up in some kind O curl doin's. and borrowed one O my nightcaps to keep from ruffiin' 'em While ye've got her jest bring her on to Miriam Joness And, as ye've saved her life, 1 guess ye've a right to come to see her while sne here, though wish ye was more of a workn' man.
 The beauty of the girls face had struck home to Mumford's heart, and as he caught her to his bosom with a sudden and dangerous tightening of his grip, the girls eyes opened.
 "I took you out of the flre," said Mum ford. Tn another minute you would have roasted"
 Yes, thank you" the girl murmured.
 No one seemed in hurry to save you, thinking it was-why, you had on the widows nightcap. Mumford was speaking rapidly. 80 now you're mine, you belong to me, do you understand? You cant ever be anothers. It is as if l had gone to the center of the earth, you know. and found the rarest gem in the world-and--and-saved 1t from obliv- ion. Should l not be the rightful possess sor of it? You know what I mean. AL ready l love you to distraction"
 The girl was now laughing at Num- ford. But when he bent over and kissed her. she said
 "Of course I am yours I shouldn't ever dream of being another 's-under the circumstances you know.'
 She was smiling again.
 But few days later, when the widow Horn found out how matters stood, her tongue took a newer lease of action And the people began to whisper among themselves of how the widows night cap had so nearly cost Ellis Mumford's promised wife her life.

FOR THE KIDNEYS.

Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy are admittedly and notoriously incurable either by the old allopathic homeopathic or eclectic methods, or by the new osteo- pathic. vacuum. or electric treatment, yet they readily yield to Radam's Microbe Killer, the natural bacillicide remedy, simply because it neutralizes and de- Htroys the consuming and infaming anil mal germs Co which they are due.
 It kills them on and makes them part of the inanimate refuse of the system.
 E. Richardson, s5 Wrenham Street. Ja- malcA Plain, Mass, writes; Seven or eight years ago suffered with what the physicians decided was Bright's disease of the Kidneys. My condition was so bad that was obliged to spend much time in bed, and tried various remedies without much benefit. At last my condition be- came so bad that the physicians thought might not live three months It was at that time that my attention was called to the Microbe Killer and decided I would take 1t until was killed or cured Seven jugs did the business, I never felt better 9n my life, and am now insured in one of the best life insurance companies in America.
