"'Texas," laborer in the Glenn oil

Frank Buxton s restaurant in the
Glenn field. Joe Morris, a gambler,
lis under suspicion Of having commit
ted the crime, and has disappeared.
The murder followed row over a
poker game which was in progress
near Buxton 5 restaurant until late
hour Monday night.
The participants in the poker game
were arrested yesterday by Deputy
United States Marshal Hanna, Of Sa-
pulpa, and taken to that city to be
held for a preliminary hearing.
Morris disappeared shortly after the
murder and up to late hour last
night had not been Apprehended.
The names of the parties in the
game, and who were held by Deputy
Hanna, were Frank Buxton, propri-
etor of the restaurant near where the
game was going on, Bob and Mike
Glenns, owners of the farm on which
the oil pool is located, and Jim Phil
lips, another laborer f-t4
j. w. Stetall, the principal witness
in the case, who was sleeping in the
room next to where the murder oc-
Cured, did not take part in the
poker game, and was not taken into
custody by Hanna. The latter in an
interview by phone with the World
last might, stated that Stetall had
told him that he heard Morris say
that he would kill Harper.
The body Of Harper was found
about six O o'clock Tuesday morning,
by an employe Of Black, Siballs 4
Bryson, in the rear of the back yard
ward of the Buxton restaurant. AT
first the workman thought the man
was simply drunk and has erawled
back there to sleep off the influence
of the liquor. On a closer exsmina-
tion, however, il was found that he
had BEEN murdered. Three ugly
wounds in the head had evidently
been inflicted by heavy scantling,
and the head was terribly mangled
and beaten. ao .8 !.
The bullet entered the small OF
Harper's back and penetrated the
heart. According to the physician
who examined the body, the bullet
wound was the immediate cause Of
death, although the wounds in the
head were probably severe enough to
have caused dissolution. ~ <,s1. +

a house opposite the restaurant. II

clothing was removed from the body,
the floors cleaned of the blood stains
and new pair of overalls placed on

Il st. Petersburg, Sept. %. According
to the newspapers the mysterious au-
tomobile which the police have been
trailing for several weeks in the be-
lief that 1t belonged to revolutionisss
and was being used as base for a
terrorist conspiracy, has been seized
in the vicinity of the palace Of Grand
Duke Nicholas holaievitch at Pc
terhof. The machine bore false nunl-
Der. The passengers were armed ana
could not properly identify themselves.
The most daring exploit of this ma
chine is reported to have occurred at
Tsarskce-Selo, where the motorists are
said to have crashed through a fence
surrounding the little palace and made
a rapid trip through the Enclosure and
out again, presumably in rehearsal for
an attempt on the life of the emperor
after his return from the present
cruise in Finnish waters.

troops Of cavalry were camped. At
the insurgent camp tho Associated
Press was told that the object OF the
insurgents coming SO close was to-
show Secretary Taft how completely
Havana is in their grasp. Pine Guer-
ra,s augmented force is only short
distance away. He was advancing TO
encamp just outside Of Marianao, when
the fact was called to the attention Of
Secretary Taft.
Taft DispIeased.
Mr.. Taft was greatly displeased and
Senator Zayas and Charles fernando
were dispatched to meet Guerra, with
the result that the latter turned back.
In addition to the Zayas party Maj.

ed Guerra yesterday. AS the insur-
gents marched he carefully counted
their force and reported to Messrs.
Taft and Bacon their exact strength.
Guerra army is well equipped for a
long campaign against the city, and In
addition to far better mounts than the
governmental forces. the insurgents
have plenty Of arms and ammunition
as well as several machine guns.

Jellico, Tenn, Sept. 23.--Twelve
deaths, the injuring of scores Of other
persons and 100000 damages to prop
erty were caused here yesterday when
carload of dynamite standing on a
track near the Southern railway depot
exploded with a report that was heard
for twenty miles. Buildings were shat
tered in the business section of the
town and nearly every piece of glass
within radius of one mile Of the
scene was broken.
The freight car contained $50 boxes
Of 25,00O pounds of high explosives,
consigned to the Rand Powder COM
pany, at Clearfield, Tenn.
Use Car as Target.
Two causes are assigned for the ex-
plosion. One is that three parties
were shooting at a mark on the car
and that bullet entered the car and
caused the explosion. The other is
that while the car was standing on a
side track car load of pig iron was
switched against it, and that the i'm
pact caused the explosion. People
here are divided as to the theories,
some going so far as to say that they
actually saw the men firing at the
car with rifle
The depot Of the Southern, which
was located near the scene Of the ex-
plosion, was wholly wrecked. Two
hotels, the Glenmorgan and the Car.
rathi-n, were badly wrecked, the third
story of the latter being wholly de-
stroyed.
Two Hundred Are Injured.
The list Of injured will number 200,
counting those slightly hurt Business
houses were badly disfgured Snd
stocks of goods ruined, while resi-
dences suffered severely.
Some estimates on the loss of life
extend the number as high as forty,
but 1t is believed this is an exaggera-
ton. Fully 500 people are homeless.
The disaster is the worst since the
terrible explosion in the Fratherhill
mine in 1902, when 1874 miners lost
their lives.
