Meeteetz. Wyo, July 18-In order to
render all aid in his power to save the
lives of four men injured IN an explos-
ion at the Kirwin gold mine near here,
in which three other men were killed,
DR.. Richards of Thermopolis rode 100
rules over the mountains at breakneck
speed, arriving in time to accomplish
the purpose for which the serious ride
was made.
The explosion was caused by miners
drilling into missed shot and three
men were killed. They were:
M. A. Chubb, shift boss.
William Goss, miner.
James Miller, miner.
Four others were seriously injured.
When the explosion came there was no
doctor within call nearer than Their.

but DR.. Richards at that place re-
sponded over the telephone that he
would ride to the best of his ability.
He made the mountainous distance in
little less than II hours. -Four re-
lays were used by him in making the
trip, ranchmen along the route supply
ing him with horses.

they taste somewhat like lobster. he

the London Spectator. with a party OF
professors, engineers and officials on
board, and is reported-rather, it
would seem. to It's designers surprise
to have behaved admirably at sea.
The event L. probably regarded by
the Danes as a confirmation of the
biblical account Of Noah's escape; but
it also confirms the theory put forward
In Herr Won Ihering's remarkable book,
The Evolution Of the Aryan," in
which he maintains that the Babylo-
mans had at a very early period sea-
borne commerce, that Noah's ship was
a seagotng vessel and that it was
driven, as recorded in the Babylonian
annals, by a storm wave up the Doab
Of the T1gris and Euphrates into the
mountains
The remembrance of this calamity,
which destroyed whole cities, lasted
long and grew with the Jews into the
account, obviously impossible as lit
eral statement, Of a food which WAS
universal. Herr Won Ihering further
states that the Babylonians constantly
kept doves ON board their ships, which.
they occasionally released, and thus
by following the direction Of their
flight were able to reach land.

MURDERER Caught
Was MAKING ESCAPE THROUGH
The UNITED STATES.
Criminal Had Cut Throat of His Wife
While They Were Living at Bel.
mont, Mass.-He Has Confessed the
Crime-Says His Wife Had Lied to
Him and They Had Quarreled.

La Junta, Col, July 17.-John Sch
iskloskas, Russian, wanted at Bel
mont, Mass, for the murder of his
wife last Wednesday night, was ar
rested at La Junta this afternoon by
Sheriff Barr while passing through
the city on the Santa Fee railroad. The
murderer confessed and gave the full
details OF the tragedy, which has been
puzzling the Massachusetts officers.
He said that he and his wife were
drinking and quarreling Wednesday
afternoon, and continued their quar-
rel at a park that night, when her
taunts enraged him to such an extent
that he cut her throat with a penknife
and threw the body in a gully.
Thursday he started for the west,
identity. The prisoner expressed his
willingness to return without requisi-
ton papers and he will be held by
Sheriff Barr pending the arrival of
officers from Massachusetts. A tele-
gram from Chicago apprised Sheriff
Barr of the fact that the Russian
would be on Santa Fe train No. 1 from
the east The train stopped but few
minutes at the station, but this was
sufficient for the sheriff to spot the
only man in the train he believed
could bear such a name. His first
guess was the right one, Schiskloskas
making no attempt to conceal his iden-
tity.
The murderer told clear story of
the tragedy. He said he came to
American from Poland five years ago
and worked on a farm near Lynn,
Mass. On February 10, 1905, he mar
ried the woman whose murder he now
confesses. When he married her, he
states, the woman represented that
she had $500 and was but % years of
age. He found afterward that she
possessed but 5000 in money and was
more than 40 years of age. The de.
ception she worked upon him was the
constant cause of Quarrels, he says,
and these quarrels had their culmina-
ton Wednesday night. That after
noon they decided to go to California,
and the wife furnished money for two
tickets. Then they drank heavily dur
ing the afternoon and went out to a
park at night.
The quarrel over the false state
ments the woman had made before
their marriage was begun anew, and
the man became enraged at his wife's
answers to his taunts. He threw a
rock and struck her on the head, and
while she was lying unconscious from
the blow he gashed her throat with
a penknife and dragged the body
through an unfrequented part of the
park, throwing it in gully and COW
ering it with rubbish. Then Selfish
loskas returned home, slept as peace
fully as if nothing had happened and
left for the west Thursday noon, first
returning the ticket he purchased fol-
his wife and receiving back 500.

LIKE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON.
Church to Be Built by Prince
Esterhazy.

Prince Luca Esterhazy, who has
enormous possessions in Pennsylvania,
is about to erect a church on his
estates which will be a model of King
Solomon's temple. Prince Esterhazy
is a mystic recluse and for years has
been engaged in the study of ancient
oriental architecture. He made a
special study Of the biblical account Of
the building of Solomon's temple, and,
while he does not intend to lavish an
expenditure on cedar, gold and ivory
as marked the venture of the Hebrew
king, his church will be an exact copy
of the original.
