NO FOUNDATION FOR
YELLOWEST STORY.

OF all the rank fakes of yellow jour
na.ism eve perpetrdted in this city
and sent out broadcast by telegraph,
that concerning Miss Ethel S. Sherar,
a respectable young school teacher az
Medicine Bow, Is perhaps the worst.
1t will be useless for 1T" to cry SCOOP
for the young lady, in a letter to a
friend here. received this morning,
says, They have made the story out
of whole CLOTH" and the personal in
terview" was the worst of all, as she
also declares that no reporter has ever
called upon her. The lady is chagrin-
ed and mortified beyond expression.
There is no truth in any of their state
ments. l did receive a little (word
underscored) money. but the reports
printed in the papers have annoyed me
almost to death. What will my people
say when they see such absurd exag-
gerations?"

FORCE SENT TO
COLORADO PRISON.

Force, wanted in this state for com
plicity in the attempt to dynamite the
penitentiary at Rawlins, in which a
prisoner killed a guard and then took
his own life, and for whom a requisi-
ton was issued by the governor of
Wyoming and honored by the COVER
nor of Colorado, has beer sentenced
to nine years in the Colorado peniten-
tiary for horse stealing and Governor
Buchtel is angry and will investigate
the matter. Force was anxious to go
to the penitentiary in that state be-
cause he believed a deal had been
framed up t hang him in Wyoming.
District Attorney Selig of Grand juno
ton says he made an investigation of
the case against Force in Wyoming
and found that the man is not wanted
there for murder, as first claimed, but
as an accomplice before the fact, and
that the Wyoming authorities have the
testimony of one man, and a convict
at that, upon which to prosecute Force.

RECEPTION AT THE
CARNEGIE BUILDING.

The reception to be held tomorrow
evening. at the Carnegie library build
ing, is intended to be one of a series
of such entertainments, which will
have as an object the bringing togeth-
err of the teachers of the public schools
and the parents of the teachers whom
they teach. 1t is thought that such an
enterprise will have the cordial sup
port of all the parents, as well as the
teachers, as the need of cordial rela-
lions between the two, and as far as
possible the cooperation of both, must
tend to help forward a cause in which
all are vitality interested-the educa-
ton and proper upbringing of the
young generation. There are to be a
few short speeches in the auditorium
of the library tomorrow night, but the
occasion will be principally a social
one, to which all parents and any-other
person who is at all interested are
cordially invited. There will be a mu-
steal program.

Grand Rapids Mich, March s.
Grand Rapids was today threatened
with a repetition of Cleveland's TRACE
dy of yesterday, on even a larger scale.
Fire broke out in the laboratory of the
Central high school while 1900 pupils
were at their studies. The fire signal
vas given M the pupils marched u
in perfect order.
Emptied in Thirty Seconds.
The building was emptied in half a
minute. The school is o~ver-crowded
and the stairways are inadequate, but
the fire drill proved effective. The fire
did comparatively little damage.
Why Panic Did Not Follow.
That there ~as-no panic was proba-
bly, due to the fact that a professional
photographer had been taking flash
light pictures in the corridor OF the
high school, a few minutes before the
fire broke out and the children had
been warned O to be alarmed.

Corner Burke today began a thor
ough investigation. He is assisted by
various Collinwood officials. So far
they have arrived at no definite con-
clusion as to the cause of the fire or
where to place the blame.
Fire-Proof Building.
1t is generally admitted that the
building vas of approved fire-proof
construction and the calamity could
have been averted from that stand
point.
1t is also believed that the fire did
not start from the furnace. From tes-
timony it is believed that the fire
started under the stairway leading to
the basement, but Janitor Herter main,
tains that there was no waste or rub
bish there.
Three Girls in Basement.
The officials are trying to ascertain
the names of the three girls who are
reported to have been in the basement
and who the ~janitor says first notified
him of the fire. Much depends, it is
thought, on what these girls are able
to tell.
