Boiler Explosion.

The large boiler in the Roth.
vile roller mills exploded Thurs.
day afternoon of last week about
3 o'clock, tearing the bottom out
of boiler and wrecking.the brick
casing in which the boiler was
enclosed. 1t will probably re-.
quire new boiler to repair the
damage so far as the boiler is
concerned.
The accident was caused by
Lewis Mills, the engineer, per.
hitting the boiler to run out
of water. At the time of the ex.
plosion Mr.. Mills was standing in
the southwest corner of the en-.
gine-room and he was slightly
scalded by the escaping steam.
R. P. Watts, the miller in
charge of the mill, was in the
doorway of the engine.room
when the explosion occurred and
was blown back several feet, but
was not hurt. The wonder is
that both men were not killed
outright.

the necessary repairs, notwith
standing he realizes he is not be-
ing treated fairly by those who
are shipping in so much flour.
After home enterprises are kill
ed off by such ungrateful prac-
tees it is probable that Local
merchants will come to their
sober senses. Nothing adds
more to the welfare of com.
munity than good Touring anc

couraged in every legitimate way
possible.

Bloody Tragedy at Penitentlary

Bloody Tragedy at Penftentiary.
Jas. w. Woods, who was form
erly chief of police of Macon and
deputy sheriff of Macon county,
but who went to Jefferson City to
accept position as guard at the
state penitentiary about two
months ago,w killed by negro
convict from st. Louis, who stab
bed him to death with a sharp.
pointed shoeknife Monday morn.
ing. The negro's name was An
derson and he was serving
four.years' sentence for assault
with intent to kill. He had been
guilty of some infraction of the
prison rules and had been kept
in cell for several days as
punishment. Monday morning
he was let out by mistake of one
of the turnkey trusty convicts,
and when Officer Woods ordered
Anderson back to his cell he re.
belled and refused to 60 until
after he had his breakfast. Woods
took hold of him, and Anderson,
without a moments warning,
drew the shoeknife, which he
had UP his sleeve, and stabbed
Woods in the neck, severing the
carotid artery. Woods again
undertook to seize his vicious
assailant and was again stabbed,
this time in the left side in the
region of the heart. In his con.
tinued struggle to control the
infuriated negro, Woods slipped
and fell on the floor. Anderson
kept slashing at him with the
knife and cut him across both
wrists.
At this critical juncture VIM.
Rockwell, a one. armed convict,
rushed to Office Woods rescue
and struck Anderson two hard
blows in the face. Anderson
turned on Rockwell and stabbed
him in the arm.
Then VIM. Sheridan, trusty
negro convict. took a hand in
defense of Woods, and Anderson
stabbed Sheridan just below the
art,inflicting dangerous and,
perhaps. fatal wound.
By this time Woods had re.
gained his feet and drew his
pistol and fired at Anderson, but
the shot went wild owing to the
fact that Woods was 80 weaken.
ed from the loss of blood. An.
derson ran and made an effort to
escape but was finally shot to
to death by ..other prison guards
as he refused to be captured
alive. Woods lived only about
half an hour after he was stab.
bed by Anderson. His remains
were, taken to Macon, his old
home, for interment.
If to judge by the troubles they
are having at the penitentiary
under the present administration
there must be a great set of
chumps in charge of that penal
institution.

heart and kidney troubles, after
an illness of two months, at the
residence of his con, VIM. F. ,one
mile northeast of Keytesville,
Friday, March %, 1906. He was
married to Miss Narcissa Ban
ming November 26, 1868. Five
children were born of this union,
two of whom died in infancy.
Mrs. johnson departed this life
June 26. 1882. Mrs. Alice M.
Blakely, their eldest daughter,
died January 4, 1895. The two
living children are Mrs. C. L.
Williams of Spokane, Wash. and
VIM. F. johnson of Keytesville,
besides five grandchildren, one
brother, John Johnson of Fresno
Flats, CAL, and one sister, Mrs.
Fred Burns of Keytesville. The
subject of this sketch had been a
member of the M. E. church,
South, ever since he was 18 years
old and lived up to the profession
he made as Christian. He was
also an Odd Fellow. He was
quiet, unostentatious man, a good
citizen and a friend as true as
steel. AS husband and father
he was model. Death had no
terrors for him. He had kept the
faith, fought good fight and
was willing to go when the Mas
ter called to "come up higher"
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. o. H. Phillips at the
Methodist church here Saturday
morning at II o'clock, after
which the remains were taken to
Brunswick and laid to rest in the

1905, when it was learned that w.
R. Ray had died that evening
about 7 o'clock. He was taken
sick with pneumonia the:Satur.
day previous and that, compli-
Gated with heart trouble, carried
him off five days later. He was
a veterinary surgeon and .farmer
by occupation and moved to
Charlton county seven years ago.
He was a useful man in the com.
munity and will be greatly miss.
ed, not only by his family, but
also by his neghbors and many
friends. He was whole. souled,
genial and accommodating and
scattered smiles and sunshine in
his pathway. He was a man who
believed that joke and a smile
were better than gravity and
--frown, and yet he was
a man who did things, too.
VIM. R. Ray was born in
Bond county, ILL.,, March 20, 1854,
hence was 81 years and 2 days
of age at the time of his death.
He was married to Miss Susan

marriage was blessed with five
children, three of whom survive.
Mrs. Ray died May 4, 1885, and
he was married again to his first
wife's sister, Miss Jemima Ellen
Owens, November Is, 1886.
Three children we're born of this
marriage, only one of whom, with
her mother, is still living. Mr..
Ray professed religion in 1894.
