MOB HUNTS FOR PARKS

<zANtsyIlsLE. o.. April 17.--Frank
Parks. twenty-four years old. a miner of
CroOksviie, near here, this afternoon shot
and, it is believed, fatally wounded his
wife's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Sherwood
Crooks.
Parks has been out of work for some
time The loss of his position and the con-
sequent hardship is believed to have made
him melancholy. He had quarreled with
his wife, who had gone to live with her
parents. Parks called at the home of his
wifes parents this afternoon, and as a
result of a quarrel picked up a pistol and
shot Mr.. and Mrs. Crooks in the abdomen.
Parks turned the weapon on his wife, but
she held their eleven-months-ol child in
front of her and the father dared not fire.
An attempt to commit suicide was frus-
trated by his WIFE who appealed to him
not to do So Parks left the house and has
not been overJaken.
All Crooksville is excited over the at
tempted double murder Immediately after
the news became known a posse of fifty
men and boys was formed. The trail was
taken up at the Crooks home, and was
followed to the edge of wood two miles
north of the city. There, it is supposed.
Parks turned and, after a circuitous route,
secured a train for his home in Delaware
county. The police of surrounding towns
have been notified and his capture is ex-
pected within twentyfour hours.

HEROINES WIN PRAISE
WHILE FLAMES RAGE
Nurses and Sisters Retain Presence
of Mind During the Con-
fusion.

The work of the nurses and sisters during
the fire is highly commended by the Off
of the institution. Braving the smoke
and fire they showed the firemen, police
men and citizens through the long halls
and corridors and proved themselves fully
worthy of the noble cause to which they
devoted their lives.
A reporter found one of the nurses on
the top floor of the building when the fire
was at its height trying vainly to carry a
patient, who screamed and struggled in
only one of many who were hysterical and
so badly frightened that they could not
realize that help was near. In another in
stance a sister remembered that one of
the older patients, whom she endearingly
called grandma had not yet been saved
and she led the way to the ward wherein
the old lady occupied cot.
Grandma" was found lying on her cot
seemingly unable to move, and il was
among the dead She was revived after
being carried to the first floor by a police
man who assisting. This officer lost
his helmet in the early moments of the
confiagration and did not stop to recover
it. The helmet found by n Journa
reporter, who identified its owner, Patrol
man Fred Amsden, by the wreath-encir-
cled number.
The sweet, womanly manners of the hos
pital workers were openly commented upon
by citizens who were allowed inside the
the work of caring for the injured wera
refreshed by cups of steamng coffee.
which was gladly received by the water
soaked helpers.

ATTACK INTENDED TO
COVER A DEBARKATION

ST. PETERSBURG, April lit is said
that the Japanese torpedo fotilla attack
on Port Arthur, on April 13, was intended
to cover a landing from nine transports
at Chweng-Tai-Tse, twenty miles south
west of Taku-Shan, with the view to cut
off the retreat of the Port Arthur troops
to Siuz-Yen and Kai-Ping, destroying the
railway and preventing troops stationed in
southern Liao-Tung effecting a junction
with the main Russian forces concentrated
at Liao-Yang and Mukden. The expecta-
fion of this operation failed only owing
to the fact that all places on the peninsula
suitable for the landing, of troops are pro-
tected by mines, we'll fortified and strongly
guarded.

MURDEROUS ATTACK ENDS
ARGUMENT OVER 81 CENTS
Youths Clash During Dispute
About Payment for "Can"
Of Beer.


Charles McCurdley,. twenty-five years Of
age, residing at 1885 Howard street, was
seriously if not fatally injured Sunday aft
ernoon by being hit on the head with a
four-foot section of gas pipe by Coy Spratt.
a seventeen-year-old Kentuckian living at
Howard and Norris streets McCurdley
was rendered unconscious and was taken to
his home in the City Dispensary ambulance.
He was attended by DIR. Leoth who found
fracture of the skull over the right ear
and a complete fracture of the lower jaw
At an early hour this morning McCurdley
was in a serious condition, and it is thought
that he cannot live.
Spratt was arrested by Police Captains
Hyland and Kinney and Bikemen Lowe and
Mefford.
The trouble arose in an argument over a
sum of money to have been used in pro-
curing a can of beer. 1t is alleged that
the principals had been frequenting the
common at Lambert and Knapp streets and
that they had been drinking. They decided
to have another drink, and a collection was
taken up for this purpose. McCurdley is
said to have given Spratt a 5O-cent piece,
expecting to get some change in return.
Spratt, it is said, refused to give up any
change and would not return the half
dollar
This led to argument and, according to
Spratt, McCurdley made a movement as
though to draw a weapon from his pocket
remarking I'll shoot you full of holes" At
this Spratt picked up piece of gas pipe
and hit McCurdey OH the head.
Fights are frequent in the neighborhood
on Sunday according to the police, who say
that beer is used in copious quantities.
Spratt is charged with assault with intent
to kill, and will be held under a heavy bond
until his victims condition is determined.

Miss Heakin, Hospital Nurse, Says
Remain in Your Rooms" to
Terrified Patients.
WORK DONE, SHE FAINTS
Many Helpless Inmates, Overcome
by Smoke, Are Saved by
Courageous Woman.
WORK DONE, SHE FAINTS

In the terrible excitement and confusion
of the st. Vincent's Hospital fire of Sun
day morning, when it seemed for a time
that the entire structure was in flames and
to even venture inside it's walls meant
death or serious injury, many brave
rescues of imperiled inmates were made
Firemen, policemen and spectators worked
side by side in aiding the terrified patients
and nurses of the hospital to escape, in
several cases placing their own lives in
peril. Had it not been for the promptness
and the efficiency of the services thus rem
dered. it seems certain that death by suffo-
cation might have resulted in a number of
instances.
MISS HEAKIN A HEROINE.
Idolized by her sister nurses and praised
by the Sisters of Charity in charge of St.
Vincent, Miss Hannah Heakin, a nurse, is
the heroine of the disaster. While most of
the sisters and nurses were thrown into a
panic by the discovery of fire, she re-
mained cool and to her probably is due the
credit of preventing at least a dozen fatal
tiles. Urging one of the sisters to sound
the alarm of fire. Miss Heakin. throwing
her apron about her head, dashed through
the dense smoke up the staircase
The patients were panic-stricken and
many had crawled from their beds and
were in the hall; some in their weakened
condition leaning against the walls and
others lying helpless the floor. These
Miss Heakin helped back into their rooms
and I'm a stern voice commanded them to
stay near the windows and not to jump.
You will all be saved if you remain in
your rooms,' she said.
IS FINALLY OVERCOME.
Stifled by the smoke and almost uncon-
scious, after visiting every room on the
fourth floor, she made her way up the
stairs again. There the smoke was far
more dense. Some of the patients who
were dazed by the smoke she carried to
open windows. Again in the hall she fell
in a faint and it was a few seconds before
she revived. Miss Heakn was found lean
ing from window on the fifth floor and,
overcome by the smoke, was carried to the
open air.
Two policemen who had reached the fifth
floor advised her to remove the patients,
but she held that for their own safety they
should remain in their rooms.
