The entire force which event

THE MYSTERIOUS CAPTAIN JACK.
Early i'll June the famous '.Cap
tain Jack, had repaired with
his company to the camp and
offered ms services to the expe.
dltion. His merits as a guide
and as ali Indian Killer were
not unknown to BraddOck, but
tie proffeied services we've coupled
with some StlpulatlOnS for free
dom from the regular discipline
OF the army, and were rejected.
This singular man was once
frontier settler. Returning one
evening to his cabin from a long
days chase, he found 1t a heap
OF smoking ruins, and the black
ened cOrpseS of his murdered
family smouldering in its embers.
FlOm that fatal hour, he vowed
that never but with life to forgive
the race that had wrought his
woe; and TO bis last day he was
tue most dreaded enemy the lii
dams ever knew. In 1913 he
held some commission under Gov
ernor Hamilton, and AT this per
Iod he was at the head of a party
OF bold woodsmen, clad like him.
self III Indian attire, and follow
ing very much the Indian mode
OF warfare. His home was in
the Jumata Valley, Pennsyl
vanla, but the CELEBRITY of his
movements caused his fame to
reach from Fort Augusta to the
Potomac. A mystery has always
surrounded his personal history.
His swarthy visage. 'and destruc.
tive arm, however. lived in the
tireside legends Of the frontier.
and many a tale was told of the
deeds of the "Black Rifle,n the
"Black Hunter" and the ''Wild
Hunter of the Juniata," under
all of which Soubriquets he was
known.
lit was another of BraddOck's
stupid blunders that he failed to
secure the services of such a val
liable ally.
The military education of Brad
dock made him over self conf
dent and with characteristic
English obstinance he would not
adopt himself to the nature of the
circumstances in which he was
placed, and in this blind conf
dence in his regular troops, he
continually rejected the aid of
Indians and backwoodsmen, ac-
quainted with Indian warfare,
saying that he had experienced
troops on whom he could rely for
all purposes"

narrowly escaped being drowned In
the waters OF Sunset lake Sunday af-
ternoon. They were at the lake In
company with several other people
and In the afternoon decided TO go in
bathing Mr.. Houghton. who is un-
able TO swim, was wading out into
the lake when he suddenly stepped
into deep water, going down before
he had time to call for help. When
he came to the surface he managed
to call to Mr.. Barber who was swim
ming nearby. and the latter hurried
to his rescue. Mr.. Houghton grasped
Mr.. Barber around the neck in an ef-
fort TO keep his own head above wa
ter, and the latter was unable either
TO free himself or to help his compan-
ion. Their cries attracted the atten-
tion of the remainder of the party,
who were on the lake in boats. and
one of the men hurried 10 their res
cue, managing to get them into
boat after they had sunk twice and

Simeon w Boudron, a barber en-
ployed in Oakes's shop. and Victor
Mancini had a narrow escape the
same afternoon in the Connecticut
river near the new bridge, and would
probably have been drowned but for
the prompt assistance of Frank Ryan
and George Hall. A large number OF
boys and young men were in bathing
at the time and ii was supposed that
Boudron could swim. AS he waded
into the water Victor Mancini pushed
him forward playfully, jumping in
himself at the same time. Boudron
at once grasped him tightly around
the waist and both Went down. At
first IL was thought that the pair were
playing but it soon became evident
that they were in serious danger. and
both Ryan and Hall went at once to
their rescue getting them to shore
without difficulty. Boudron was COM
pletely exhausted by his efforts to
keep afioat and was unable to stand
for some minutes.
Ryan and Hall made still more
dangerous rescue Friday night at the
same place, the rescued in this case
being a Boston & Maine brakeman.
He went in swimming in the rear OF
the engine house, below Walnut
street. and was riding down the river
on a log. When almost under the
bridge he left the log and started for
the shore but the current proved too
much for him and he soon became ex-
hausted Ryan was on the shore
dressing and Hall was near the edge
of the river when the brakeman was
heard coughing and spluttering. Both
started toward the distressed man but
Hall reached him first. As he attempt
ed to give help the brakeman grasped
Hall about the neck and both would
have sunk had not Ryan arrived at
that moment and grasped the man
from the rear, breaking his hold
around Halls neck By supporting
the brakeman under the arms Ryan
and Hall managed to get him ashore
safely but all three were considerably
tired when they reached the en-
bankment.

Judge WheeIer's Decision.

Promptly at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning the court was opened by the
crier. Robert f. Gordon, and after a
short delay caused by the absence OF
Mr.. Fits. Judge Wheeler began TO
give his decision. At the start ne
traced the history of Mrs. Rogers
case from the time she was sentenced
to be executed. emphasizing the facts
that the petition for new trial was
denied at the last session of the su-
preme court without setting any date
for the execution and that the prls-
oner had remained in solitary connne-
ment from Feb. 3, the date first set
for her execution, until the present
time contrary to the law of the state.
Judge Wheeler further stated that he
had deemed fit TO issue the writ OF
habeas corpus because the 14tn
amendment of the United States con-
stitution provides that no person shall
be deprived of his life. liberty or
property without due process OF law,
and that the petitioner was being thus
restrained when she was kept In soli-
tary confinement after the date set
for her execution, but that upon look
ing over the whole matter ii was not
clear enough to him that the procedure
under the state law was in violation
OF the constitution to release the prls-
oner Therefore he remanded the pris-
oner TO the custody of the state offi-
GERS.
Mr.. Butler then moved for an appear
to the United States supreme court and
Mr.. Fits asked that in case the court
should see fit to make the order
granting the appeal sufficient time
should be granted TO give the authori-
ties of the state opportunity TO make
such further reprieve as would do
away with any stay or other similar
proceeding. Judge Wheeler then said
that he would grant the appeal after
the governor was given sufficient time
to issue another reprieve.
The order for the appeal was sign
ed in Waterman & Martins office yes
terday afternoon at $50 upon the re-
ceipt of a telegram from Mr.. Fits at
Windsor TO the effect that the reprieve
had been issued and given to the
proper officers for service. Mr.. Fltts
started to meet Governor Bell on the
2.20 train yesterday afternoon, IN
tending to have him sign the reprieve
at White River Junction, but the gov
ernor succeeded in getting as far south
as Windsor before Mr.. Fits arrived al
that point. The actual time at when
the governor signed the reprieve

Two Newspaper Men Arrested.

Joseph F. Reed. a photographer IN
the employ of the Boston American
and James F. Davis. reporter on the
staff of the same journal. were ar
raigned in the district court yesterday
morning on the charge of contempt
and bound over under $500 bonds to
appear next Tuesday, being released
on their own recognizance. The mat
ter arose from the attempt on the
part of Reed to secure photograph
of Judge Wheeler as he was crossing
Elliot street on his way to the probate
office shortly before 3 o'clock yester-
day morning.
In order to avoid notice Reed stood
behind another newspaper man, just
in front of the Peoples national bank
until the Judge was about halfway
across the street and then stepped out
suddenly and snapped the camera,
Judge Wheeler Immediately accosted
the young man. taking him by the Ia
pei of his coat and asking him what
he was doing. Receiving no satisfac-
tory answer he sent upstairs for the
United States marshal and placed the
culprit in his custody. After the Rog-
ers case was disposed of Judge Wheel
er took up that of the photographer
James F. Davis appeared before the
court and stated that Reed was in his
employ and working under his direc-
ton when arrested whereupon
the charge of contempt was entered
against his name also.
Judge Wheeler told the newspaper
men that they were not only in con-
tempt when they took his picture
without permission but that they mad
no right TO take photographs OF any
one without gaining consent He or
dered them to produce any oo)ecuon-
able plates and destroy them IN ms
presence. The defendants went 10 the
Brooks house in custody Of the mar
shal and returned with six plates
which were exposed TO the light and
thus rendered valueless. Their cases
were then continued.
