PATIENT IS HERO
OF HOSPITAL FIRE
Emaciated Man Rescues Twenty
seven Persons From Pos
sible Injury.

indianapolis, April 18.-While the
city fire department. reinforced by
companies from the suburbs, was be-
ing taxed to it's utmost fighting the
Occidental hotel fire, an alarm was
turned in from st. Vincent's hospital.
When the first fire company arrived,
one life had been lost and several per-
sons had been seriously Injured in
the panic that followed.
Harriet Leahy jumped from the
fourth floor and was instantly killed.
Three patients, Sister Superior Nor
dica and several attendants were in
jured in their attempts to escape and
assist others.
For a time it seemed that the
flames, which started among a pile
OF rugs under the east stairway, would
find their way to the upper floors, re-
sulting in frightful holocaust.
James Dawson, an emaciated pa
tient, worked heroically among the
panic-stricken men and women. One
after another he pulled away from the
windows those who were preparing
to jump to the street below, and he
piloted them thru the smoke to places
of safety on the first floor.
After saving twenty-seven nurses
and patients from possible injury in
this manner, Dawson lost conscious
ness and was carried into the male
ward, where medical attention was
given him. For time it was thought
he could not undergo the terrible
strain to which he had been subjected.
Owing to the fireproof construction,
the actual loss to the building will not
exceed $1,000. The greatest fears were
entertained that many would be killed
by jumping from the windows or
trampling upon the cripples who were
utterly helpless.

MURDERED NAN
UNDER A BARN

ing whatever has been heard of him.
Neighbors and residents Of LaWton,
feeling that a crime had been COM
mitted, made q thoro investigation of
the premises after Mrs. Posey's de-
parture, with the result that Shan
mons body was found under the barn.
It is believed that Posey and Shan
non quarreled over the amount OF
money due the latter shortly after
leaving Lawton, and that Posey killed
Shannon at that time. The body was
then wrapped in the bed clothing,
which was used as robes, and taken
back to the farm and buried. It was
the body of Shannon that was seen
by Diestman and a companion.
/. Pounded to Death.
Wounds on the body indicate that
Shannon was pounded to death. The
skull was fractured and the features
hammered to a pulp. The body also
showed numerous bruises, as if Shan
non had been kicked. Owing to the
continued cold weather the body was
In good state of preservation.
Now that the, crime has been fer
reted out by private persons, the coun-
ty officers are waking up and taking
an active part in the matter in the
hope that Posey can be apprehended
and brought to trial. But for their
remissness, which seems almost Grim
inal under the circumstances, the
crime would have been traced to his
door long ago and he would now be
prisoner instead Of a fugitive.

Washington, April, 18.-Engineer G..
II. Fitch has been directed by the
chief engineer of the reclamation
service to take charge of the work of
that bureau in South Dakota and ad-
jacent areas. The most important
charge this season will be the compile
ton OF the surveys and the beginning
OF construction, if found feasible, on
the Belle Fourche project.
Raymond r. Walter will be contin-
ued in charge OF the investigation and
surveys on this project, occupying a
position analogous to that of con-

sance on the Big Horn project on
Crow Indian reservation, on the Fort
Buford project In North Dakota, pre-
liminary surveys on the Bitterroot
project, the Lake Basin project, the
Sun River project in Montana, and
the surveys of New Fork and Green
River project in Wyoming.
A competent engineer will be sent
soon into western Montana to make a
general examination Of the opportu-
mites of reclamation, particularly of
the character of land ownership, and
ascertain the views of the persons
owning reclaimable lands regarding
the construction of irrigation work
thereon.
With the passage of the Grow In

thoro investigation of the possibility
and feasibility of a comprehensive ir-
rigation system for the lands thrown
open for settlement on this reserva-
ton.
Citizens in the lower Yellowstone
valley are showing commendable in
terest in the plans of the government
as to the Fort Buford project.
Congressman Dixon has presented
numerous petitions and in person has
urged the continuance of the work.
The Northern Pacific Railroad
company, which owns some land in
this valley, has agreed to cooperate
with the government to the fullest ex-
tent, and will dispose of such tracts
as are under the proposed canal to
bona f1de settlers only.

''BOOKIES'' DECIDE
SUIT FOR $4,000.
Thomas McAuliffe Gets $4,000
for Injuries in Friendly
Arbitration.

New York, April 1S.-With two
men well known to the sporting world
as plaintiff and defendant, with two
others equally we'll known as judges
and jury and as witnesses half a dozen
other men whose faces can be seen
line in the betting Enclosure at the
metropolitan race tracks, there has
been tried and decided a $4,000 dam
age suit. There will be no appeal
and the judgment was paid two min
utes after the verdict was announced.
Thomas McAuliffe, known about the
race tracks for years, was the plain
-Gottfried Walbaum, the bookmaker.
Joseph Vendig and Max Blumenthal,
members of the Metropolitan Book
makers association, were the judges,
and the court was private room in
an uptown hotel.
McAuliffe has but one arm, and sew
eral months ago, while departing from
the Astoria club, he walked thru a
half-open door leading to a stairway.
He fell face downward, cutting his
face and his neck, besides breaking
several ribs.
He was under medical treatment for
some time. Upon his recovery he
made a demand on Walbaum for COM
pensation for his injuries, alleging that
it was the negligence Of the club that
caused them. Walbaum disputed this,
and both sides had hired attorneys to
engage in a lawsuit when they met
a week ago.
I don't want the thing hanging over

defendant. 'Let us settle it,
McAuliff wanted 100000. There
was an argument over the terms, and
finally the plaintiff said: LET us leave
it to the boys and do without any
court. You pick one man and I'll pick
another. Let them hear everything,
and what they say goes.'' Walbaum
agreed.
In another day Vendig had been
chosen by the plaintiff and Blumen-

witnesses had been notified
sVendig and BlumenthaI went to a

In little more than two hours the
judges came out. ''Walbaum, give him

Washington, April Ex-senator Gull

ical situation, declared President
Roosevelt would be nominated and
elected. He said:
''Of course, we will stand firmly for
protection, which is responsible for
the wonderful prosperity of the coun-

an issue in the coming campaign. We
would welcome an attack on the ac-
ton of the administration in connec-

It presume general charges of ex-
travagance will be made against us,
but we have no fear on that score.
Then the postal frauds will be dragged

JENKINS EXPECTS
TO Be ELECTED
Stories About Governor La Fol.
lette's Antagonist Are No
Longer Credited.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build
ing, Washington.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, April 1S.-Reports
have been telegraphed to eastern pa
pers from time to time during the
winter to the effect that Governor
LaFollette Of Wisconsin was making
plans for the defeat Of Representative
jenkins OF Chippewa Falls. 1t has
been stated that the governor has de-
termined to use secret methods in
bringing about Jenkins defeat, instead
or making an open fight, as was done
In the third congressional district
against Babcock.
These stories no longer worry Judge
Jenkins and his friends. At first it
. because of the opposition Of the gov
ernor and his friends, but lately the
atmosphere has cleared and the
strongest LaFollette counties In the
eleventh district, they claim, are for
Jenkins. Among these are Douglas
and Bayfield, in the northwestern part
of the district. Judge Jenkins will of
course, carry Chippewa, his own
county, without any trouble.
Former Assemblyman James A.
Frear of st. Croix is credited in these
dispatches as being the LaFollette
candidate, but Jenkins friends saw
that he is making the race entirely on
his own responsibility, and that re-
ports Of the caucuses now being held
show that he will be overwhelmingly
defeated.
One of Judge jenkins closest
friends said to-day: 'T am In close
touch with all pas-:- of the district
and know that LaFoliatte's friends are
not working against Sldge Jenkins
either openly or secretly and I am
satisfied that he will have an over
whelming majority of the delegates in
the convention which meets April %.
