Fearful Tragedy
Occurs In Kansas
City Home
TRYING TO DEFEND PARENT
Robber Uses Woman as
Shield.-.Latter Receives
Contents of Shotgun.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct, 15.-George
Smiley aged II years, shot and killed
his mother, aged AZ, in their home at
2943 Myrtle avenue, at an early hour
this morning. In statement to the
officers Smiley stated that he accident.
ally shot his mother in an attempt to
defend her against burglar who had
made an entrance into their home. He
is being held for investigation by the
police department.
The woman was Mrs. Lizzie Schol-
fer and was separated from her hus.
band. The boy who did the shooting is
a son by former marriage. He said
he was awakened from his slumbers
by screams, which eminated from his
mothers room. She was struggling
fiercely with man and urged her
son to get his shotgun and shoot thu
man, who he states was a burglar. As
he fired, he said the burglar pushed
his mother in front of him, and she
received the full contents of the gun.
Smiley is crazed with grief and the
authorities are keeping a watch over
him to see that he does not do himself
bodily injury.
After an investigation the coroner
found Mrs. Scholfer's money and jew
elry untouched.

WILL Of DEAD
PACKER IS BROKEN
Heirs of Late Mel
son Morris Divide
Estate
TOTALS OYER s30,O0O,0OO
Widow and Five Children to
Get $6,OO0,OOO Each and
Securities.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-The Tribune to.
day says
A thirty million dollar will contest
that was argued and settled out of
court was disclosed yesterday when
the last testament of Nelson Morris,
the packer, was filed for probate. The
principal provision of the will has
been nullified. Instead of carrying
out the arrangement which would have
held the bulk of the estate in trust
at least fifteen years, the widow and
her four children will divide the prop
erty equally among themselves at
once.
Instead of half a million dollars
apiece and an annuity of $4,000 dur.
ing the next twenty years, each of the
five principal heirs will receive at
once six million dollars in cash and
securities. The property was allotted
in equal shares to the widow and her
children in a binding agreement sign.
ed by the executors of the estate.
All the members of the family eX-
cept Edward Morris, the Oldest son
and the present head of the Morris
packing corporations, favored this
plan and Edward only yielded to their
wishes after the lawyers had been re-
tained and long drawn out legal con.
test was threatened.

Special to the New Mexican.
Springer, Oct. 15-The lands which
have been put on the market recently

pany, operating sixteen miles west OF
Springer on the Rayado river, and

of $65 per acre and six more sales are
now being closed.
The outlook for the sale OF every

the ditch system Of this company Is
of the best. The management, so far,
is very well satisfied with results.
The reservoir and ditch system will
be ready for operations next April.
The water supply will be ample and
the soil of the land under the ditch
system is of the very best and Will
raise the finest crops of cereals, vege-

the fact that at the present meeting
of the board Of health twenty-six
physicians presented themselves for
examination for the purpose of secur-
ing licenses to practice their profes.
sion in the Territory. Without a
single exception these doctors have
come here from other parts of the

That Are Enjoined.

Chicago, Oct. 15-E. H. Hartman
arrived in this city early today to take
an active part in the fight for control

terest in the struggle centered in the
court room of Judge Ball, where both
sides lined up at the opening of court,
to fight for and against making perma-

SOUTH FRIEND
OF RAILROADS
Wei Known President Of Transporta-

ers of This Fact.

New York, Oct. 15.-That the south
is not hostile to the railroads is one
of the declarations appearing in Presi-
dent w. w. Finley's statement to the
stockholders of the Southern railway
In fact, President Finley says there
is a growing feeling among the snip
pers and travellers in that part OF the
country in favor of reasonable treat
ment of railroad enterprises. The
statement cites as indication OF the
rapid industrial expansion OF the
South that during the last year S6O
new plants of various sorts were In
stalled along the Southerns lines and
the capacity of many OF the oider
plants enlarged.

train made up of passenger coaches

Explosion Wrecks
Big Powder
Mills
MINING town WIPED OUT
In Addition to Dead, 100
Were Seriously Injured--.
Shock Felt For Miles.

Brazil, Ind, Oct. 15.--Twenty-five
to thirty persons dead and dying,
one hundred injured and every house
in Fontanet destroyed, rendering sew
eral hundred people homeless, is the
result of an explosion of powder in
the mills of the Dupont Powder Com
pany near Fontanet today.
The first explosion occurred in the
glazing mill at 9:15 o'clock. Quickly
following the other mills blew up,
there being three distinct conclusions
at intervals Of few minutes. In the
mills at the time seventy-five or eighty
men were at work. When the glazing
mill went up the men ran for their
lives from the other mills and many
escaped death, only to receive serious
injuries.
Not a Building Left Standing.
At the first explosion the inhabi-
tants of tie town ran from the build
ings and thus saved themselves. No
one was killed in the town, although
there is not a building left standing.
At 10:45 o'clock ninety minutes after
the first explosion, the heat OF the
burning mill exploded the great pow
der magazine situated in hollow sew
eral hundred yards from the mills.
It contained many thousand kegs OF
powder and the concussion was even
greater than that from the explosion
of the mills.
Physicians Also Injured.
Among those injured from the maga-
zine explosion were several physi-
clans who were at work among the in
iured. The heat was SO great that 1t
was impossible to remove many bodies
from the wreckage. Eighteen bodies
have so far been taken to the morgue.
The injured were scattered every
where and were collected and relief
given as rapidly as possible.
Superintendent Monahan of the
powder mills, is missing and is sup
posed to be in the debris. A state OF
panic prevails among the residents of
the surrounding country. All tele-
graph and telephone lines are down.
Shock Felt FOR Miles.
Fontanet is a mining town of 800
inhabitants, eighteen miles from Ter
re Haute and twelve miles from here.
The Big Four Railroad Company
ran a special train to the scene of the
accident with physicians and the in.
jured are being brought to hospitals
in this city.
The explosion was heard and felt
over a wide area. 1t was heard dis
tinctly in Indianapolis and Crawfords-
vile, thirty-five miles from Fontanet,
where the shock cracked brick walls
and caused tiling in floors to sink
more than an inch. Many windows
were badly shattered at Brazil, Indi-
ana, fifteen miles away. Cincinnati
also reports feeling the shock, and at
this place it was believed that an
earthquake was taking place. South
ern Indiana towns and Hamilton, Ohio
also report feeling the shock.

railroad employees shall, in the future
