ESCAPES FROM NIGHT RIDERS
Judge Taylor Safe After Awful Elk.
perience.

Tiptonville, Tenn, Oct. 21.-Un-
harmed, save numerous scratches re-
Ceived in a thirty-hour trip through
unfamiliar woods and the fatigue in
cident to the trip without food and
the mental strain, Judge R. Zachary
Taylor reached here after mirac-
ulous escape from night riders at Reel
Foot lake, who murdered his partner,
Captain Quentin Rankin.
Judge Taylor's escape is due to a
daring dash for liberty while the
night riders were disputing among
themselves the best way to kill him.
During the heat Of the discussion Colo
mel Taylor broke for freedom. Dash
ing a few yards to the bank of a shall
low inlet of Reel Foot lake he plunged
in
A fusillade of bullets followed the
fugitive, whose figure was dimly dis
eerned in the growing dawn of ap-
preaching daylight. Wading and swim
ming the aged attorney pushed for
ward. Bullets and small shot fell on
every side, but none struck him. Near
the bank opposite the firing night rid
ers Judge Taylor threw up his hands
and pitched forward heavily over a
log and lay inert Hundreds of shots
were fired into the log by the night
riders, but not one penetrated far
enough to injure him.

-Four Men Literally Cooked by
Bursting Steam Pipes.
BOAT COMPLETELY DISABLED
Drifts About AimIessly All Night
While Survivors Anx-
iousIy Await Aid.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 21.-By the ex-
piosion of a steam pipe in the engine
room of the steam barge Maggie Mar
shall off this port, Chief Engineer
John Peterson of Manistee and three
OF his assistants were literally cooked
to death.
The men were caught like rats in a
trap and there was no escape for
them. They were forced to stand in
their places until they were literally
cooked.
The barge was on her last trip of
the season between Chicago and Man
istee, with a crew of thirteen men.
Three of the crew, N. G. Thompson,
Otto Frank and Alex Forsstram, start
ed in a yawl for Kenosha for assis-
lance, but capsized when over mile
from shore and were compelled to
swim to land.
The boat was completely disabled
by the explosion of the steam pipe,
and she drifted aimlessly, bearing her
burden of death all through the night,
and was finally brought to anchor a
mile east of the village of Berryville,
four miles north of Kenosha, just after
daybreak.
The story of the bursting of the
steam pipe and the long vigil of the
surviving men while waiting for aid is
one of the most horrible ever told of
luke disasters about this port. 1t Gull
minated in three of the members of
the crew volunteering to swim mile
through a heavy surf in order to get
the aid for which the captain and his
crew had waited in vain.

THREE HUNDRED
LIVES ARE LOST
Terrible Storm Swept Over the
Philippine Islands.

Manila, Oct. 22-Belated reports in
dictate that the storm of Oct. II in the
Gagayan valley was the worst and
most destructive within the memory
of living inhabitants of the valley.
The official figures are not yet avail
able, as many places have not been
heard from, but it seems certain that
the number of dead will reach 800.
There was heavy typhoon and tor
rental rains throughout the valley
and in the mountains. The rivers
were flooded and in many places rose
to height of thirty feet, sweeping
everything before them in their path
to the sea. Hundreds of animals and
horses were swept away by the wa
tiers.
At Apart, which was almost COM
pletely under water, the American
residents, headed by Lieutenants
Treadway and Clark, Postmaster Foss
and Engineer Clark, formed rescue
brigade which rescued scores of ma
tives, taking many off of their houses,
which were floating down the river.

Alpena, Mich, Oct. 17.-Fifteen peo-
pie lost their lives in the burning OF
the Detroit and Mackinaw railway re-
lief train which was carrying the in.
habitants of the little village of Metz,

ing rails at Nowicki siding, a few
miles south of Metz, and the terrified
refugees We're forced to abandon the
cars and rush for safety either down
the track with burning forests on
either side, or into the plowed fields
near the siding Eleven of the vic
tins were women and children who
were unable to escape. Their charred
bodies were found in the ruins of the
car when rescuers reached the scene.
Four additional fatalities occurred in
the neighborhood of the wreck Mr..
and Mrs Fred Wagner died from heat
and exhaustion on their farm near the
scene of the wreck and Mr. and Mrs.

A Social Function.

Last Sunday afternoon the hall of
Assumption parish was the scene of
the pleasantest function it has been
the good fortune of the people of
day The occasion was the reception
rendered the Rev Edward Jones by
his parishioners to give him a hearty
welcome home after a protracted stay
in the east, where he was obliged to
undergo severe operation.
Long before the hour appointed ey-
cry available seat was taken in the
spacious auditorium and standing
room only" greeted those who were
unfortunate enough to arrive some
what late All classes of citizens,
Catholic and non-Catholic alike, had
to show by their presence how CRATE
full they were for his safe return, for
all knew and felt how much the per-
sonality of Father Jones meant for
the higher welfare and upbuilding of
the city.
Every speech that was delivered, ev-
cry word that was uttered, told of his
eminent services and worth and gave
expression to the esteem and loyal
affection in which he is held. The
climax was reached when Mr.. Wunsch,
a pioneer of the parish, presented the
Rev. Father with a substantial to-
ken of his parishioner's love in the
form of a generous purse.
Father Jones was deeply touched by
this grand demonstration of kindli-
ness and good will from all sides. In
an address that was short, but impress
sively eloquent. he warmly thanked
all who had shown themselves so
thotful and sympathetic, assuring
them that his best efforts would ever
be devoted to their welfare.
The program was happily intersper-
sed with vocal and instrumental num-
DeTS IudL were eACepIloHdlly We'll
rendered. This and the tasteful dec
orations of the platform contributed
to heighten the gladsomneess of the
celebration.
And thus is added one more page
of joyful memory, vibrant with the
noblest of human emotions, to the
history of Morris.

KILLS WOMAN AND HIMSELF
Millionaire Grain Man Commits Dou-
BILE Crime.

Omaha, Oct 19.-"Notify my
brother that something terrible is go
ing to happen in few minutes" tele-
phoned Sewell Sleuman, aged fifty,
millionaire grain dealer, to his clerk.
An hour later, when Sleuman was
found, he was lying dead across the
feet of Eva Hart, aged twenty-four, an
actress, with whom he was infatuated
Ind who was also dead.
Sleuman was one of the best known
grain men of the West. He had wife
Ind family from which he has been
separated a few months and had been
infatuated for three years with Miss
Hart.
In the room where the tragedy oc-
Cured every piece of furniture was
broken, pictures slashed, carpets
ripped up with butcher knife and
every conceivable damage done.
On a table was note saying that
Miss Hart had turned him down and
be did not care to live without her.
"She is almost gone now and | will
finish the job as soon as she is dead"
said the note.
Evidently Sleuman had shot the
woman and while waiting for her to
die wrecked the house, afterward
killing himself.

FOrty-One Persons Known to
| Have Perished.
MORE FATALITIES PROBABLE
Large Number of People Miss
! ing and Some Of Them
May Be Dead.

Alpena, Mich, Oct. 20.-The veri-
Aed known death list resulting from
the forest fires in Presque Isle and
Alpena counties now stands at forty
one, with several people still reported
missing and a growing probability OF
severe loss of life in Northern Pulaw-
ski and Krakow townships in Pressure
Isle county, the first Indication OF
which came with the reporting OF six
dead bodies in Pulawski, including
those of Mrs. Herman Erke and chill
dren. Two woodsmen found the
skeleton of Mrs. William D. Rose, liv-
Ing near Ocqueoc. The woman's hus-
band was absent and she was alone
in her home, surrounded by the forest
fires. Evidences of back firing bear
mute testimony to her hopeless fight
for life.
At least sixty families were living
near the shore of Lake Huron in the
northern half of Pulawski and Krakow
townships and practically nothing has
been heard from them since the fires.
It is said that the flames swept all
through this district to the waters
edge and it is feared more bodies
will be found.
Many Others Are Missing.
At Grand Lake a farmer and wife
and four children are known to have
taken refuge in a boat and nothing
has been heard from them since. A
dozen children sent home by teachers
have not been heard from. Near Po-
sen, Mr. and Mrs. Hines are still miss
ing. Of those previously reported
killed, the following were found in the
woods or at their friends homes:
John Konieczny, who was reported
dead with his wife and children in
the gondo1a car at Metz.
Anthony Wagner, Mrs. Anthony
Wagner, Mrs. Charles Liehke, Mr..
and Mrs Pachniski and five of the
Dust children, only one of the latter
being killed.
While big fires are still burning
throughout the northern tier Of coun-
ties, not a single village or town is
now known to be in danger. There
is big fire three miles from Rogers
City and heavy line of fire west of
Alpena, but there is no imminent dan
ger to either town
Some apprehension is felt for Grace
Harbor, which is located on the shore
of Lake Huron northwest of here No
word has been received from there
since the fires.

minutes the firemen and police were
kept busy carrying the frightened
ones to safety. 1t was not until the
fire had been controlled and search
of the house was made that it was
known any lives had been lost.
