The communication printed above
was sent to the state board of control
yesterday afternoon. 1t was from w. B.
Jordan, of the w. B. and w. G. Jordan
company, which has had the shoe con-
tract at the state prison at Saltwater
for some years and which was an un-
successful bidder for a renewal of the
contract for period of ten years, be-
ginning Sept. /, 1904, and which went
to R. H. Bronson, of Saltwater.
1t contains the seed of a story that
has been before the public for some
days.
The communication reached the
board of control about 4:30 o'clock in
the afternoon and was read and dis
cussed, but no direct answer was made
to Jordan's letter. Instead letter was
said to have been sent to
Jordan last night in which he
was asked to make his complaint more
specific. So far as the Leavett inter-
view is concerned the board took the
position that since it did not have the
interview before it its members could
not very we'll intelligently discuss any
criticism of the interview. No an
swer had been received by Mr.. Jordan
at midnight.
The important point in the letter is
contained in the statement, Il should
have been glad to have had the con-
tract, 225 men at So cents per diem,
the prison being under proper man
agement, and would at this time be
perfectly willing to take it at 65 cents
per day, the prison warden being a

IN CAVE
Both Are Newly Found and
Former Are Unidentified.

Special to The Globe.
LIE SUEUR, Mimi, March Sun
day afternoon while John wilkins
and Hans Moe, young men of about
twenty years, were squirrel hunting
along the LIE Sueur river, in the deep
ravines through which it winds, they
accidentally discovered the entrance
to a mammoth cave. 1t was blocked
with rocks and earth at the entrance,
and back for about ten feet, as though
the ground had been upheaved by the
action of an earthquake.
The boys had with them a dog that
tracked a rabbit into the entrance,
where the dog followed, passing into
the cave beyond and wandering about
in it until lost. The dog then howled
and failed to come out when called.
The boys returned to town, secured a
dark lantern and shovels and went
back and dug. Their efforts to reach
the dog soon revealed the cave.
1t extended into the hillside twenty
rods and is 500 feet across, on an av-
erage. Several piles of bones of dead
animals were found within it. These
skeletons are much larger than the
horse or COW, domesticated here, and
it has not been determined what ami
mails they were.
That they were large is very evident,
as the foreleg from the knee to the
hoof measures three feet. In the lower
jaw on either side is a long tusk, turn
ed toward the front, like horn on
Texas steer.

man who would not use his official po-
sition to force himself upon the con-
tractor as a partner"
This is regarded as nothing more
nor less than an accusation against the
official character of Warden Henry
Wolfer, and as Jordan is man of
financial and social standing, the
board of control and the governor of
the state will probably insist on an
investigation Of the whole matter of
the award of the shoe contract and the
circumstances governing it.
Runors of Accusations.
Jordan has made no public state
ment other than is contained in his
letter of yesterday to the board of
control. There have been, however,
rumors that he and his brother were
making accusations that Warden VOL
fer's Connection with the award of the
made by the board of control, were not
those of an entirely disinterested state
employe.
A reporter of T h e G1ob visited
the prison at Saltwater yesterday and
asked Wolfer a number of questions.
He was asked:
Have you any interest in the Bron-
son company now, or have you had
any interest in the Jordan company"
He answered very emphatically both
questions in the negative.
He was asked:
did you, when you resigned as
warden of the penitentiary, intend to
become interested with Bronson or

INVALID ENDS LIFE.
w. D. Roman Shoots Himself
in Minneapolis Hospital.

Ill and alone, 1,4OO miles from friends
and family, w. D. Roman, a travelling
salesman, shot himself last night at
st. Barnabas hospital, Minneapolis.
At $3.50 last evening, Roman,
who had been suffering from
pneumonia, and while the nurse
was occupied, got up from his
cot in the hospital, and going to small
satchel, which he had brought with
him, several days ago, took out a A.
caliber revolver and placing the muZ-
zle to his right temple fred
The noise of the shot brought the
attendants, but when they reached the
mans side he was dead The doctors
at the hospital notified the coroner,
and a search of the dead mans effects
was made. 1t was found that he was
a travelling representative of the firm
of H. B. Hardenburg, of New York
city. A key was also discovered on
which was attached nameplate bear
ing the name w. D. Roman, New York
city, the only means of Identification.
Coroner Williams telegraphed to
New York, and found that the man was
married and belonged in that city.
Roman came to the hospital last
Tuesday suffering apparently from
pneumonia, and it is thought that he
was not in his right mind when the
act was committed. He said little
about himself, other than that he was
a travelling man, and the only way the
hospital people knew who he was by
the search through the valise. The
body was taken to the morgue to await
more information from the mans wife.

Fatal Results Of West Vir-

one side, and William Adams and
George Mead on the other at Green

Guam River this afternoon. Brum-
field, who rushed between the firing
belligerents was shot through the
heart and killed.
Before the fracas suDsided, Adams
had also been shot TO death, four bull
lets having pierced his Dody and Mead
who has two bullets IN his body is eX-
pected to die at any moment. John
Lambert, the instigator of the trag-
edy, was snot through the shoulder,
but is not critically injured. Two OF
his brothers who engaged in the riot
are believed to be wounded but they
made a hurried run from the scene
and are now in hiding in the noun,

ly predicted that should the other two
Lambert boys be captured tonight T.
relatives and friends of Brumfields
and Adams who are legion in that
section will attempt to mob them
John Lambert, who is now at the
home of the deputy sheriff Is being
strongly guarded for fear of violence
from the opposing factions.
Squire Brumfield, who was attempt
ing to restore peace when he ran into
the thickest of the fight with uplifted
HdnuS, was one Ol Inc HlOSJ prOUll-
nently known men of the county and
it was he who for years headed the
faction of Brumfield's who engaged in
the bloody feud with the Hagers in
the vicinity of the hills Of Guam.
During his life he had been shot
fifteen times, it is said. but never be
fore today was his injury of very
serious nature.
The trouble came about over Lam
bert, who was clerk in a country store
attempting some days ago to collect
an account of long standing against
Adams. Harsh words were used and
Lambert was struck blow. He made
no defence at the time but today while
with his brothers he came upon
Adams in company with Mead and
the old trouble was renewed with ia
tai results. All of them had guns
except Magistrate Brumfiald and Ar
ing was furious and to the death. That
more trouble II occur is almost
certainty.
