MEETS AWFUL DEATH
Emil latre Sinks in Grain Tank and
is Smothered in Sight Of
Fellow Workers.

| Nothing that fiction has produced i'm
its widest flights can equal the Incl
dents and the circumstances connect
ed with the awful death of Emil Latre
at Peoria yesterday.
| On the premises of the sugar works
in the south end of the city is tubu.
lar tank built of boiler iron. Ii is ~
feet high and has diameter of So
feet. Into this huge tube the dried
and ground feed intended for shipment
| is placed and ii is taken out of the
bottom by conveyors which carry il to
the cars.
lie Is necessary for men TO go into
this tank from the top and descend
by an iron ladder affixed To the inside
TO the feed and shovel il toward the
center. The bottom of the tank is OF
conical shape. and as the feed nears
the point of exit it forms sort of
whirlpool and becomes almost as fluid
in its action as water
Four men went into this huge col.
umn at Z O'Clock yesterday morning.
They We're ]. Webb, William Webb.
Lyman Monroe and the unfortunate
Emil Latre. AT that time the tube
was filed to distance of % feet from
the bottom. In other words il was
about one-third full. The four men
were engaged in shoveling the feed to-
ward the center when Latre. who was
waist deep. complained that he could
not get up. His fellow workmen saw
at gance that he was right over the
vortex caused by the descending meal
running down into the cone and esti-
mating in a flash the gravity of his
position. two of them caught him each
by one hand. Then they flung out
their disengaged hands to the fourth
man, who thus held ali three. Had
there been anything for the fourth man
to have chung to Latre might have
been saved. But the iron ladder that
ran down the inside of the tube was
far away. and all around for 80 feet up
lowered that smooth interior with not
even a rivet head TO afford a van
tage point to be clutched.
Gradually Latre sank to his DOOM
Each of his hands were grasped by n
man and their other hands were in the
clutch of a third, but still the doomed
man sank lower and lower in that aw-
full quicksand of meal. AS ii reached
his neck he threw his head to one side
as if to avoid the inevitable. but it
went down and down. The men who
had grasped his hands were now in
danger of being involved in the same
awful suction, but ii was not until
Latre's head had disappeared that they
regretfully let go to save themselves.
The arms of the sinking man thus re-
leased, still appeared above that aw-
full vortex of meal. but they were going
down. In a minute or two ten fingers
were seen, and that was all that was
visible. A moment later they had
gone. too, and Latre by that time was
dead.

DARING EXPLOIT OF
CARS MIDSHlPMAN
COSTS MlkADO A SHIP

Chefoo, Nov. 1.-THE Port Arthur
newspaper, Now Krai. of Nov II, cop
les of which were brought to Chefoo
by the Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Rastoropny, prints brief details of a
daring exploit which resulted in the
sinking of a four funneled Japanese
torpedo boat destroyer.
Japanese torpedo boats and one de-
stroyer were engaged in removing
mines, mostly their own, from Tache
bay on Nov. 3. Midshipman Dimitrieff
conceived the idea that he could tor
pedo the Japanese boats under cover
of darkness, as the latter were busy
and enjoyed fancied security. 1t was
the audacity of the plan, the Now Kari
says. that made it successful.
Securing a steam launch from the
battleship Retvisan, one carrying tor
pedo tube and accompanied by half
dozen volunteers, Midshipman Dimi-
trieff in the darkness slipped out of
the harbor and succeeded in evading
the Japanese searchlights.
Circling around the Japanese boats,
with the launch moving at top speed,
the midshipman came within striking
launched his projectile. 1t sped
through to the destroyer. There was
sudden explosion and the destroyer
sank.

MARSHAL HUNTS ROBBERS
Five Men Seen Huddled in Cornfield
But They Got Away.

While returning from school Monday
afternoon, children of Erick Troline, a
farmer residing about mile west OF
Galva. noticed half a dozen men hud-
died in a cornfield on the farm of Mr..
Sandberg. With the memory of the
Rio bank robbery fresh in their minds,
the children eXcitedly told their par
ents of what they had seen and said
tn. believed they were robbers. Mr..
Troline at once telephoned to Marshal
Van Cleve, of Galva. and in a few min
utes five or six armed men accompan-
led the marshal to the scene. Arriving
there they discovered that the party of
suspects had left. They were traced
by their foot prints to the railroad
tracks, and it is supposed that they
made OFF down the tracks. Nothing has
since been heard of the mysterious
strangers.

WARRANT FOR A DEAD MAN
Ed Prentice Leaves Wisconsin to Es-
cape Arrest.

The mystery enshrouding the death
of Ed Belmont, the Davenport barkeep-
er, whose right name was discovered
after his demise to be Ed Prentice, has
been cleared. The physicians who con-
Quoted the postmortem say that he
was a victim of alcoholism. 1t was
learned after his death that there was
warrant for him at Broadhead, Wis.
from which city he skipped and came
to Davenport several months ago and
changed his name. Prentice shot an
officer at Broadhead while escaping
from a gambling room that had been
raided. The officer was only slightly
wounded. However. G. d. Olin, SON.
in-law of the deceased. came to Daven-
port and accompanied the body to
Broadhead for burial.
