TERRORIST is KILLED
ACCIDENTAL BOMB EXPLOSION
IN A HOTEL At ST. Pc
TERsBURG.

st. Petersburg, March 1.-The sx-
Dlosion Of a bomb at the Hotel Bristol
here Just before daylight blew to atoms
the owner of the bomb. man with All
English passport and giving the name
of Alfred Henry Mccullough, and
wrecked the adjoining rooms. killing
the wife of an officer and injurlng
several other lodgers. The explosion
was heard blocks away and created a
tremendous sensation. There is not
the slightest doubt that the man killed
was connected with terrorist plots.
The bomb was of the same power as
those which killed the late Minister of
the Interior Won Plehve and Grand
Duke Sergius, creating the same havoc
as did the explosion at the Hotel Du
Nord last spring. The preliminary in-
vestigation of the police leads them
to believe that Mccullough was en-
gagged either in packing his effects, as
the Hotel Bristol was to be vacated,
or in preparing for some desperate
enterprise when the bomb fell and ex-
ploded. The police Immediately sur
rounded the hotel with mounted gen
darmes, allowing no one to within
fifty PAGES.

County Cattlemen After
Wolves

One Of the most unique and original
wolf fighting organizations in the West
mas been formed by the stockmen liv-
Ing in what is known as the Cave
Hills region, in the extreme north
western part of South Dakota. The
association was formed for the pur-
pose Of annihilating the big gray
wolves, which for some time have been
terror to cattle and horses in that
portion of the great cattle range. Each
member is to receive 25 cents from
each Of the other members for each
coyote and so cents for each gray wolf
scalp turned in. AS the association
has a large number OF members the
bounty for wolves and coyotes will be
the largest paid in the West. Boun-
ties will be paid only to members of
the association.

ADVANCING VERY SLOWLY.
But Russians Fear Japs Are Making
Wide Turning Movement.

Tie Pass. March l5.-As after the
battle OF Liaoyang. the advance of the
Japanese army against the new posi-.
tions of the Russians at Tie pass is
very slow. The leading columns are
eight or ten miles southwark in touch
with the Russian van posts, but the
operations at present are not serious.
Field Marshal Oyama shows slight in
tentions of pressing his advantage in
an immediate attack on Tie pass 1t
Is probable, however, that wide turn
ing movement. Of which reports are
current, is in progress. In such opera
tions the Japanese have the immense
advantage of several bases and lines
Of supply to which is now added the
Sinmintin road, while the Russian
army necessarily is dependent upon
one base and one line of communica-
tion and therefore may easily be out
flanked,

wanS Stock Yards ENLARGED.

Owing to the growing Importance of
Wagner as a stock shipping point the
business men of that place are en-
deavoring to secure an enlargement
of the stock yards of the Milwaukee
company. 1t is believed they will sue
ceed in having the yards materially
enlarged without the necessity Of call
ing upon the railroad commissioners
for aid. A committee Of Wagner busi-
ness men recently visited the officials
of the Milwaukee road in Chicago and
were promised that the matter would
be given consideration and if condi-
tions warranted it the yards will be
greatly enlarged.

Ing any pool hall or bowling alley un-
less accompanied by their parents and

ty-one years of age must have writ
ten permit from their parents before

bowling. These permits must be filed

ty-one years of age are prohibited by
the ordinance from setting up pins in

FATAL NEW YORK FIRE
Kerosene Lamp Set Five Story
Tenement House on
Fire
Nineteen Lives Lost and Many
Injured as Result of Grim.
inaI Negligence

New York, March 15.-Nineteen per-
sons dead, two score injured, some so
seriously that they may die, and nearly
zoo persons temporarily homeless is in
brief the story of New York's latest
ire horror. The victims of the days
disaster We're typical East Side people,
the scene typical East Side tenement
at Is Allen street, and the incidents at
tending it were in many ways peculiar
to that cosmopolitan quarter. To ap-
parently reckless displays of heroism
shown by firemen, policemen and vol
unteers alone is duo the fact that the
list of dead is not greater.
Two hundred persons herded In the
big tive-story double decker tenement
house were sleeping. when flames from
an overturned or exploded kerosene
lamp in the basement spread through
the structure and wrapped the entire
building in flames almost before an
alarm had been sounded. Even when
the sleepers awoke at the first cry it
was almost too late. but hardly more
than moment was necessary to show
them that their troubles had scarcely
begun.
The long narrow iron fire escapes
which ran down the building on each
Of it's exposed sides had been made
receptacles for rubbish of all descrip-
tions and in many cases they were lit
tie better than useless. It was found,
also, that every fire escape platform
on the building had in it blind" or
q square piece of board which fits into
the opening through which the ladder
passes In the grated floor. The result
OF these obstructed escapes was
evident when it was found that nearly
all of the dead belonged on the top
door of the building and were roasted
before they were able to reach the
ground. Another case Of negligence
which was responsible for the loss of
some lives was an immovable skyEght
at the head OF a ladder leading to the
roof. Battened securely and partially
covered with ice, this skylight resisted
all efforts to force it and pile of the
bodies of the dead lay under it when
the horror was over.
1t was on the hame-swept fire es.
eapes that the finest displays Of hero
tsm were shown. Scores Of men, wo-
men and children driven from the
rooms by the flames, which swept up
through Railways and hight shafts,
lowered high in the air on the hot iron
ladders and platforms, the flames
swirling around them as they waited
for help. Through the flames and
smoke, time after time, the flremen
rushed up to their assistance and
every trip meant life saved. From
the fire escape, too. the mon plunged
through windows belching flames to
come forth a moment later bringing an
unconscious form to some place of
safety. Many of the firemen and other
rescuers suffered severely but they
continued at the work until it was fin
ished
