Play for Sympathy-August Mueller,
Prisoner in the Stanton County JAN,
Helps Others to Escape-Scheme to
Create Good Impression.

August Mueller, prisoner in the
Stanton county Jail, who is under SEN
tence of fifteen years in the peniten-
tiary for shooting his wife, his father
in-law and his mother-in-law last
spring, worked a clever scheme, it is
alleged, to excite sympathy for him
self, in the hope that if the supreme
court grants him a new trial he might
stand a better chance of being set
free. He broke open the Jail, liberated
O. fellow prisoner, and then told Sheriff
Sucker that three men had come
and freed the escaped horse thief. He
declared that he had remained in jail
because he did not care to run away.
People of the community began
thinking Mueller was a model prisoner
until Gebhardt, the escaped jail bird,
was recaptured and told how Mueller
had suggested the escape and had lib
Grated Gebhardt by means of an iron
bar which sprung open the window
bars. Gebhardt said that Mueller told
him as soon as he was jailed that he
ought to get out, and then showed
him how. Mueller declared that he
did not wish to escape, because he
knew he would be recaptured, and by
remaining he might have a chance to
be acquitted in case a new trial was
granted.

VERDICT IN THE ENGIE CASE
John Hamlin Held on Charge of Mud

oO31A Oh C1
dsTing Grand Island Woman.
That the deceased Rachel Engle
came to her death on Monday, Janu-
airy IA, at 4:30 p. m, from the effects
Of gunshot wound in the back, in
flfcted by John C. Hamlin on August
3, 1906" is the verdict returned by a
coroner's jury at Grand Island in the
death Of the young girl who was shot
during carnival week by an alleged
unrequited admirer.
Six physicians swore unqualifidely
that death resulted from the wound
and that the treatment given by the
attending physician and surgeon was
all that could be done for her.
Hamlin did not deny the shooting
but stated that there is something
back Of it that the people do not
know. 1t is believed the defense will
be insanity.
Hamlin was much disturbed when
he heard the girl had died, but, while
the sheriff took extra precautions,
there is no general talk Of not permit
ting the law to take its course. The
charge of shooting with intent to kill
will, no doubt, upon this development,
be changed to murder IN the first de-
Srse.

DIR. DAY FLAYS THE POOR.
Educator Says There's Too Much
Ph:ianthrODy

The Rev DR.. James Roscoe Day, or
university, in an address Friday night
attacked the arguments in favor of
the poor and charitable and philan-
thropic movements that had been ad-
vanced few months before by j.
Phelps Stokes and Rose Pastor Stokes,
his wife.
What is all this cry that is being
made about the poor wage earner?"
asked DR.. Day
"The wage earners get enough fol
what they do and great many Of
them get more. I know the poor. l
have been among them and studied
them. I know that they are the chief
supporters of upwards of 10000 sa-
looms in this city. I know that they
are the chief causes of intemperance
and shiftliness, and then the blame
is put on the hard hearted corpora
tions. We should cease some Of the
philanthropy which we practice and
help the poor to learn their duty and
to make them help themselves.

piece of despotism that rules today
than labor unionism. 1t is a hindrance
itself to the advance Of man."

Erred FROM WRECK.
Parts of Bodies Found at Great Dis
tances from Scene of DisastCr-Va-
rious Theories offered as 10 the
Cause of the Explosion.

Twenty-Five charred and mutilated
bodies have been taken from the
smouldering ruins of passenger train
No 3, on the Cleveland, Cincinnati
and st. Louis (Big Four), which was
destroyed by the explosion of a car
load Of powder as it passed freight
train at Sanford, nine miles west af
Terre Haute, Ind, Saturday night. The
number of injured will reach at least
thiTty-five
The entire train was blown from the
track, the coaches demolished and the
engine hurled fifty feet. The passen-
gers either were blown to pieces, Gre
mated or rescued in a more or less Ii.
jured condition.
The injured some of whom are IA
tally hurt, are at the hospitals in Terre
Haute and Paris, Ill, and at Sanford.
The full extent of the disaster was
revealed at daylight, but the death
list will not be complete until work
men have finished clearing the debris.
According to trainmen Of the freight
the powder was exploded by the con-
cussion made by the passenger train,
which was slowing down for the sta
ton at Sandford. Another theory is
that gas escaping from an oil pipe
nearby entered the powder car and a
spark from the passing engine ignited
the gas. Others express the belief that
the disaster was due to a tramp or in
toxicated man firing a shot into the
car
Cars were smashed to pieces by the
force of the explosion. Huge masses
of iron were found hundreds of feet
from the track. The tank Of the pass
enger engine was hurled nearly 100
feet, landing in a gravel road
Two passenger coaches and one bag
gage car were consumed by fire. The

FOR BABIES BEFORE LAMBS.
Pinchot Says Sheep Interests are Sec
Ondary

The forty-third annual convention OF
the National Wool Growers associa-
ton was called to order at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning in Salt Lake City.
Utah. Owing to the non-arrival OF
many delegates a recess was taken un-
til 1880 Thursday afternoon.
More than 1000 delegates were IN
orously voiced by the vice president
and sections Of the country where
sheep are raised were represented The
Woo. t~ade of Boston and other east
ern cities also was represented.
a feature Of the convention is an
exhibition Of standard high bred and
high grade sheep at the state fair
grounds, where more than 500 sheep
mostly from the intermountain coun-
try, are on exhibition
1t developed early that the dele
tile to the forest reserve policy of the
government. This sentiment was Wig
orougsly voiced by the vice president
in his annual address, which set the
convention wild with enthusiasm,
while the defense of the administra-
ton by Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot,
of the agricultural department, was
very coldly received.
At the climax of his address DR..
Wilson declared that the transforma-
ton of the ranges into forest reserves
from which the sheep are excluded
will put Wyoming back twenty years
and reduce her wealth so per cent.
He also discussed the transportation
question, saying that the facilities Of
the railroads should be ample in view
of the increased equipment within the
past year. The trouble, he suggested,
is due to the lack of speed rather than
to lack of cars.
Mr.. Pinchot took the broad ground
that the sheepmen represent only
small proportion Of the people of the
United States and that their interests
must give way, if necessary, to the
welfare of the nation. He expressed
his personal sympathy, but added:
"This question of ranges is your
question. Our concern is for the home
steader. The government wants to
raise children instead of lambs"

Buffalo.
During Saturday night and Sunday
Buffalo, N. Y, was swept by the most
destructive wind storm of a decade.
The Niagara frontier lies a scene Of
wreckage and destruction in the wake
of the storm.
Two lives have been reported lost SO
far and property damage that will
aggregate $2,0G0,000 when the ac-
counting is made of the toll of the
storm. Lake Erie with it's level high
er than has been known for twenty
years has gerged the Niagara river to
overflowing, and thousands of dollars
worth of property has been carried
down the stream.
Miles Of docks at the great lumber
market at North Tonawando have
been destroyed and millions of feet OF
lumber have been carried out into
the river.
The damage to shipping in Buffalo
harbor alone is $1,5O0,00. Five great
lake steamers aground tell that part
of the story. Thirteen others makina
brave attempts to ride out the storm
may add to it. Niagara Falls power
was cut off when the cable snapped
and the city was in partial darkness
Sunday night. Damage to homes and
buildings is widespread.

ment funds.

the records to cover the discrepancy.
that he had no knowledge Of how the
shortage occurred and that he had re-
Trained from reporting in the hope

take.
