State Court Rules
Against Perrin

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 8.-The state SUI
preme court has decided that the action
of the secretary of state and attorney
general, constituting a majority of
prison board, was valid in removing G.
S. Perrin as warden of the penitentiary
and appointing D. w. Ackley. The
writ of mandate has been ISSUED form
ally removing the warden and INSTALL
ing Ackley. Perrin S removal was the
result of his refusal to reinstate clerk
against whom he made charges of mis-
appropriation of funds. When Ackley
first went to the prison to relieve War
den Perrin the latter ordered him away
at the point of revolver. The mat
ter finally was referred to the supreme
court for settlement.

Terrible Coal Mine
Disaster at Burnett

Burnett, Wsah., Dec. 9. One of the
most terrible calamities that has ever
blighted the mining industry in the
state of Washington occurred in the
Burnett coal mine about 3 O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon. Without mo-
ment's warning, at least IL lives were
snuffed out, and it is believed that the
death list will total Is. Following the
catastrophe searching parties were i'm
mediately organized and they worked
necessarily. OF the eleven corpses re-
covered, eight are men of family while
three were unmarried.
There are known to be at least four
other miners in the shaft, but it was
deemed unsafe to continue working
during the night and the effort to res
cue them was abandoned until day
time. While there is slight hope that
these may be living, they have prac-
tically been given up for lost, for it is
not believed they could have survived.

Slaughter Family
and Himself

Rochester, Ind. Dec. 8.-One of the
most shocking tragedies that ever oc-
Cured in northern Indiana was enact
ed four miles south of this city, when
Gilbert Burns, school teacher, so
years of age, murdered his wife, his
infant child and man with whom his
wife had sought refuge from his cruelty
and for whom she was performing do
nestle service. An old lady was
wounded by stray bullets but not seri-
ously.
Mrs. Burns refused to live with her
husband several months ago, and after
leaving him got work at the farmhouse
of Joseph GRIPPE, an unmarried man
who was living with his mother
Burns charged that GRIPPE had enticed
his wife away and swore vengeance
against them both, but he was drinking
when the threats were made and little
attention was paid to them. While at
Marion he told some of his relatives
that he intended to kill GRIPPE and a
letter was sent here warning the farm
re of his danger.
just at DARK this evening Burns ap-
peared at the GRIPPE home and called
his wife. She appeared at the door
and, raising a shotgun which he had
concealed behind him, he fired at his
wife and she fell dead in the doorway.
The same shot killed his infant child,
who had followed its mother to the
door.
GRIPPE was in the house and, hearing
the shot came out. Burns levelled the
gun at him and the full charge entered
his breast and he died without word
Having completed his bloody work
Burns walked to the home of his sister,
two miles distant, and calmly told the
tails of the tragedy. He did not appear
in the least excited and gave no init
nation of what he intended to do.
Cooking the gun, when he had finished
the story of the tragedy, he set the butt
on the ground, placed his head directly
over it and kicked the trigger with the
toe of his foot. The explosion carried
away the top of his head and he died
without a groan.

II was late in the afternoon. The
storm had again subsidized. The men
on the island decided to take advant-
age of the northsiders while they were
ashore and destroy their traps.
The northsiders were quick to see
this and hustling their arms and am
munition aboard they leaped into the
boats along the beach and rowed with
all their might to the defense of their
cause.
The southsiders also started out
briskly to peat them to the traps. The
latter bad slight advantage in dis
lance but their opponents were refresh
ed by warm meal and many of them
had secured few hours sleep.
The small feet on either side was di-
vided into squadrons as if by common
arrangement, and while one squad made
for the defense of a group of traps along
the line which stretched up and down
the river channel on the bay side, q
squad from the other side started for
the same point to destroy them.
In the meantime reintorcements were
gathering on the south shore, for the
southsiders outnumbered the men on
the north, and war to finish was now
more imminent than ever.
"Will those soldiers never arrive?"
was the question old Seadog asked
himself as he directed his men to bat
tie for the traps.

CHAPTER XvI-Continued.


The island was soon reached and
the man taken ashore. The morning
was crisp and cold and fire of drift
wood was kindled for the comfort of
the wounded man and his companions.
As the day Jagged away the man grew
worse. Dan was his most attentive
nurse. In the afternoon he persuaded
his companions that it would be better
to take the wounded man to his home.
They agreed upon this but they did
not know what to do with their pris-
oner. On the southside they could not
hold him, and if they left him on the
island he might be compelled to re-
main for several days without assist
Ance. They wanted him to accompany
them to thier homes, but Dan had mat
teIs of more Importance demanding his
attention on the north side. He told
them to leave him on the island and he
would take his chances on reaching
shore.
The fishermen pulled out with theil
wounded companion, reluctantly leav-
ing Dan behind.
Throughout the day Lapham walked
up and down the island viewing his
friends and enemies as they lay on
their oars in threatening attitudes.
He managed, however, to keep con-
cealed behind the driftwood from his
enemies, while he was too far away to
be distinguished by his friends.
He had searched the island from one
end to the other for boat. but the
southsiders had intended making this a
sort of prison had they carried out their
original plans and had removed every
Semblance of craft from the place.
Besides the island had always been
q sort of neutral ground and since the
quarrel had begun, neither side at
tempted to occupy it and all fishing APP
psratus and supplies had been taken
away by the respective owners.
AS night came on, Dan became more
anxious to reach the north shore. He
wondered how many of his friends had
fallen under the fire of the southsiders,
and wondered more how Sankala was
faring.
Old Seadog was too much absorbed in
the trouble at hand to carry out his
plan of taking Sankala and Ringwold
to the county poor farm, but he knew
the girl was worrying her young life
away over the outlook for the future
and possibly by this time, so far as he
knew, she was grieving by the bedside
of the deceased Ringwold.
The impatient young fisherman could
remain an exile no longer. He con-
structed a raft fl ON planks and timbers
which had lodged on the shores of the
island and with pieces of planks used
as po.es and paddles he started for the
main shore.
Before his work had been completed,
however, night had long since fallen
over the waters and storm was brew
ing.
The same sound from the clash oil
the wave and current ON the bar greet.
ed his ears at that moment that made
the frail Sankala tremble with fear as
she left the north shore to search for
him that she might give him the food
she had prepared for him and of which
she thought he must by this time be in
such dire need.
