YOUNG NOBLE
SENT TO JAIL
Cousin of Earl of Craven
Imprisoned in England for
AsSaulting Man in Train
GETS TWENTY-ONE DAYS
Becomes Belligerent When a
Fellow Passenger Bumps
Into Him With His Grips

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-A E. Craven a
cousin OF the Earl OF Craven, son-in-
law Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Martin,
formerly OF New York. has been SEN
fenced to twenty-one days in Jail for a
brutal assault on fellow passenger on
q train.
The passenger while entering a
crowded car bumped against Craven $
knee with his grips. Craven Extensively
demanded an apology. and upon receiv-
ing refusal struck the man in the
face. Craven then loudly proclaimed
himself "a gentleman whose name
could be found in De Brett and a cous-
In Of the Earl Of Craven" The victim
declared that Craven's conduct was not
that or gentleman, whereupon Craven
dealt him a violent blow on the nose,
drawing blood profusely.
The magistrate In sending Craven to
jail characterized the assault as most
unJustifiable and most blackguardly,
for which a fine was quite inadequate

-FOUR MEN DIE
IN EXPLOSION
Four Boilers in a Sawmill
in Washington Burst From
Some Cause Not Yet Known
BUILDING Is WRECKED
Inspector of an Insurance
Company Recently Certified
to Soundness of Plant

CHEHALIS, Wash, Dec. 28.-Three
men were killed and two injured to-
day, one so badly that he died soon
afterward, by an explosion of four
boilers at the sawmill plant of Wal
worth & Neville at Walville, Wash.
The explosion occurred Immediately
after the mill started for the afternoon
run. The dead:
E. c. HICKS, single, 30 years old;
has relatives in West Virginia
FRANK DOWELL, SS years old,
married, of Walville.
PRES EPLING, single, 26 years old,
Walville.
Injured:
ROY HICKS, single, 26 years old;
relatives at Decatur, Mich; died soon
afterward.
w. Buchanan, 22 years old, single
was probably fatally injured.
The cause of the explosion Is un-
known. The mill plant had been smut
down for repairs and only sufficient
steam was kept up to run the cross
arm factory The boilers were In
spected by the official inspector OF an
insurance company not more than ten
days ago and were then pronounced
in good condition. When the mill Is
running 100 men are employed. Ine
fact that the mill proper was not IN
operation accounts for the small num-
ber of killed.
The mill was badly wrecked.

SAYS "BOUTON'
IS TALL MAN
Police Chief of Salt Lake
Tells of Companion of
Cutler Mountain Victim
KNOWN AS A GAMBLER
Colorado Officers Seeking
Further Facts Before
They Take Up the Search

OGDEN, Utah, Dec 2S-In co1nec-
ton with the Cutler Mountain murder
mystery the statement made to-day by
Chief of Police Lynch of salt Lake
City, who is in Ogden on business, is
interesting. Chief Lynch stated that
he remembered distinctly a Mr.. and
Mrs. Bouton, who visited Salt Lake
City last August. The man, he said,
was there to take some sort of medical
treatment, and while in the city took
occasion to visit a gambling house,
where he lost a big sum Of money.
His loss caused him to apply to the
chief for redress and the DrOprietors
Of the house were forced to refund the
money on pain of punishment.
The man was accompanied by the
woman he called his wife. who answers
minutely the description of the one
murdered. Bouton, says the chief, was
tall and more like the man described
in the dispatch.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec. Is
What was depended on as one Of the
strongest sources Of Information in re-
gard to Mrs. Bessie BOuton, the sup
posed victim of the Cutler Mountain
tragedy, resulted this morning in
setback to the Investigation when
telegram was received from New York.
PuIpOIllAS 10 cOule 1IOA1 liAC y. 81 MT
Pray Chemical Manufacturing Com
pany, for whom Mrs. Bouton claimed
to be a travelling representative, stat
ing that this firm had no such agent
on the road.
Chief of Police Reynolds is not salts
fed with this telegram, however, and
has wired to New York again, asking
for further particulars as to the move
ments Of Mrs. Bouton, basing his re-
peated inquiry ON the fact that Mrs.
Anna Bethman, a local hairdresser. or
dered goods through Mrs. Bouton from
this firm and received the goods.
1t is believed that the message or
inquiry became mixed up in transmits
sion and the police are still confident
that they are on the track Of the wo-
man who was murdered on Cutler
Mountain.
Other inquiries were sent out to-day
to Syracuse to the relatives of Mrs.
Bouton, seeking to ascertain the name
Of the dentist who performed the work
on the teeth of Mrs. Bouton- On the
receipt of his address he will be sent
for to inspect the work done in the
mouth of the woman whose body was
found December II, it being fully be-
lieved that an opinion by the dentist
who performed the work on Mrs. Bou-
tons mouth will be conclusive as to
whether or not she and the murdered
woman were identical.
With this point established to the
satisfaction of the officers a systematic
search for the men who have been con-
nected with Mrs. BOuton in the facts
that have come to the knowledge Of
the police will be instituted.

SEATTLE, Dec. 2S.-It is under
stood that 1000 tons of salt beef will
comprise a part Of the cargo of the
steamship Tacoma, which is now load
ing here. The vessel is operated by
the Northwestern Commercial Com
pany, which holds concessions from
the Russian Government, and ii has
Seen surmised that the beef is for the
Russian soldiers at Vladivostok.
Though it has been publicly stated
that the Tacoma is bound for Shang-
hal, In steamship circles it is common
talk that the Tacoma will proceed
either directly to Vladivostok or will
try to run the blockade at Port Ar
thur.
A representative of the company in
sists that the Tacoma will run to
Shanghai and that there is nothing
in the story that the beef is to be car
ried to the Russian soldiers.
