mitted 60 Pass Night
Rt Home.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 15.-David E.
Sherrick. ek-auditor of state, was slated at
the police station this morning, charged
with embezzlement OF the states funds.
He waived examination and was to be
bound over to the grand jury under heavy
bond.
Because Of the large number Of cases
before him Judge Whallon postponed the
hearing as to the amount Of Sherrick's $
bond until 2 O'Clock this afternoon. In the
meantime sherrick is under the guard OF a
detective.
Sherrick looked very broken at the police
station and still refused to talk concerning
the case, referring all inquirers to his at
torney. Addison c. Harris. Mr.. Harris was
with him at the station.
II was after l clock this morning when
Detectives Lancaster and Lowe called at
the Sherrick home in West Pratt street
The officers found Sherrick in a nervous
condition bordering on collapse. DR.. c. e.
Cottingham was called to the apartments
and he advised the detectives to allow Mr..
Sherrick to stay in his room until this
morning.

Cyrus J. Clark and another man talked
with Mr.. Sherrick for some time. Earlier
In the night there was a constant stream
OF callers from among the friends OF Mr..
Sherrick From conversations that took
place within the hearing of the detectives
1t could be seen that Sherrck was bitter
toward the governor for his action.
Shortly after o'clock this afternoon
Sherrck reappeared before Judge whalton,
who held him to await the action of the
grand jury and fixed his bond at H50 900.
Several of Sherricks friends were present
and 1t is thought that he will be able to
furnish the required security.
Sherrcks bond was signed by fourteen
individuals in one trust company.

said today:
THE present session of the Marion
county grand jury, which was to have

AVON Conn, Sept. 15.-The explosion Of
a fuse followed by a fire in building Of
the Climax Fuse company here this after
noon, caused panic among twenty em-
ployes in the building and resulted in the
death of seven and injuries that will prove
fatal to some others. There was no way
of coping with the flames, which soon
spread rapidly, and in less than an hour
after the explosion occurred those who
were unable to escape were in the clutches
OF a fire that eventually burned their bodies
to ashes.
The list Of dead follows:

the hot iron he held in his hand Inham-
mable material was set on fire and in few
moments the room was a mass of flames.
In an instant there was a mad rush for
the doors and windows and during the
scramble many were pushed back into the
building. while others were severely burned.
Ten physicians from nearby towns came
to the rescue and did good service In car
ing for the injured.
The scene at the fire was heartrending.
Friends and relatives Of the missing were
almost frantic with grief when 1t became
known that the bodies of those close to
them were being burned to a crisp in the
ruins of the factory AS there is no fire
department in the town 1t was utterly
useless TO attempt TO cope with the flames

AS one of the walls OF the second largest

OF the fire and an effort was made to pull
| 1t away from the flames, but on account OF
the great heat this was impossible.
Soon after the building in which the

RUSSIAN FLEET
ANNIhILATED

Special to Democrat from Great
Falls Leader.
Toxic, May 30.-Otficial news of
the great naval battle fought in
the straits OF Korea between the
japanese fleet under Admiral Togo
and the Russian fleet under
Admiral Rojesvenski shows that
the defeat Of the Russian fleet was
the most crushing ever received by
any nation in any sea conflict.
The fighting commenced Satur-
day and one by one the great Rus
sian battleships and cruisers were
sent to the bottom or totally dis
abled by the unerring marksman-
ship OF the japanese gunners. In
the first days fighting, twelve Rus
sian Warships, two transports, two
torpedo boats and three cruisers
were sunk or captured. The Saw
oarotf, Admiral Rojestvenski's flag
ship, was disabled in the fighting
which was resumed early Sunday
morning and the admiral took ref.
uge Oh a torpedo boat destroyer.
He was captured yesterday morn
ing and is seriously wounded. OF
the entire fleet but one cruiser sue
ceeded in reaching safety the har-
Dor of Vladivostock. Hundreds of
men from the wrecked battleships
are drifting ashore in small boats
and on wreckage from the fleet.
The damage done to the japanese
fleet is not given, but is compara-
tiyely small.
