ONLY TWO HUNDRED KILLED
Latest Estimate Of Victims Of Kara
taqh Disaster.

New Bokhara, Turkestan, Nov. L.
The first reports Of the catastrophe at
Karatagh were exaggerated Instead
of $4,000 persons being killed only
about 200 lives were lost. Most of
these persisted under the landslide,
which buried 400 of the 600 houses of
the town.
Karatagh Is situated in small am
phitheater among lofty hills, the Kara
tagh mountain hanging over it on one
side and a river flowing on the other
At the height of the recent earthquake
great section of the mountain broke
away and slid upon the town Houses
there were already falling on all sides
from the violence Of the earthquake
and many of the luckless inhabitants,
unable to escape through the narrow
streets encountered by debris, were
caught and buried. No building in
the town was left standing, the earth
quake levelling them all to their
foundations. All the survivors were
without shelter, and a relief expedition
with supplies has left New Bokhara
for the scene of the disaster.

RARE COPPER CENTS.
Coin Collectors Theory to Account For
Their Scarcity.

Coin Collectors Theory to Account For
Their Scarcity.
That some of the rarest and most
valuable Of the United States cents.
particularly those dated 1899 and 1904.
owe their scarcity to the fact that Full
ton built the steamboat Clermont is
the theory held by some coin collectors.
They believe that thousands of the old
time large copper cents went toward
making the copper boiler for the pio-
neer Stea boat.
This theory would explain the mys-
terry that has long puzzled coin collect
ors as to the reason for the almost to-
tai disappearance of the cents of the
dates mentioned.
States minis at Philadelphia were of
large size. The copper blanks. or
planchets. were imported from Eng
land. being sent over in kegs.
Copper at this period was scarce

ception of the small quantity pro
duced at the only copper mines then
known in the United States. those al
Cranky. Conn. nearly all the metal
used here came from England.
Builders of steam engines in those
days were of the opinion that boilers
constructed Of iron were unsafe and
impractical Bile. and as consequence
boilers were made of copper, all the
boilers that came from England being.
it is said constructed of that metal
Fulton was likewise of the belief that
copper was the only fit metal to be
used in boilers.
1t is therefore possible that finding
scarcity of metal with which to con-
strnct the boiler of the Clermont he
finally resorted to the most convenient
source Of supply. which happened to
be the large United States copper
cents. Of course the cost of such a
boiler would represent large sum.
but it is on the records that the steam
frigate Fulton. launched in 1915, the
year of the inventors death, had a
boiler entirely constructed of copper.
which alone cost the large sum of $23-
OOO
That the supply of cents of this pc
Rod was large enough to meet such a
demand is also likely enough. From
1893 to and including 1895 1,O66O33
cents were coined and in 1896 974,OOO
were struck.

INDIANA HARBOR WOMAN
SPARES OFFICERS BLUSHES
Arm of the Law Finds object of Their
Warrant Undressed and In Bed-She
Decides After Much Persuasion to
Accompany Them Clothed, Instead of
Wrapped In "a Bed Guilt.

Two police officers armed with a
warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Hal
uska, went to her home in the south
end of Indiana Harbor last night to
take her into custody. They found
her in bed and undressed. The arm of
the law backed away with becoming
modesty politely requesting that the
lady get up and dress. She declined
to accommodate them and they with
drew to the outer darkness to consult
as to their best method of procedure.
1t was decided that they must make
the capture in all events even though
they were obliged to carry her TO the
station wrapped in a quilt. They &C
cordingly returned with determination
written on their features and sounding
in their voices.
After arguing the matter with the
woman for nearly half an hour she fin
ally agreed that she would dress and
accompany the officers rather than be
taken through the streets clothed only
In a bed quilt. Accordingly the Off
GERS once more repaired to the out
side where they remained until Mrs.
Haluska gave the word that she was
dressed. Going inside for the third
time. the officers took her to the sta
ton.

man to escort her home, John Bos,
living just north of town. brutality beat

that the neighbors became indignant

Katie, with two other girls who live
close by, were on their way home when
three very good and respectable young
men who they knew well, asked per
mission to accompany them on their
way.
On arriving at Miss Boss home, the
party was very much surprised TO and
an irate father awaiting them at the
gate. with a heavy strap in his hand.
Grabbing her with curse, he dragged
her into the house. amid a volume Of
profanity and began beating her I'M
mercifuliy. Her cries and the sound
of blows and cursing were plainly
heard by distant neighbors, while the
rest of the party stood horror stricken
near the house. One of the young
men, who declared the inhuman treat
ment continued a quarter of an hour,
wanted to enter the house and annihi-
late the father, but was prevented
from doing so by his companions.
They Immediately returned TO town
and swore out warrant for the arrest
of Mr.. Bos on the charge of unmerci-
fully beating his daughter and the use
of profane language.
The case came up before Judge LA

pleaded bully. whereupon he was fined

friend paid the charges for him and
he was released.
Some of the neighbors say this is
not the first time they have known Bos
to indulge in such treatment of his
daughter, and although the judge did
not give him any reprimand or warn
ing should such a thing occur in the
future. the people say they will see
that he gets his just deserts If they
find him repeating the offense.
