BIG GRAIN ELEVATOR
ptia5s IS BLOWN UP.
Roof Sails SkyWard and FirebraRds
sa Rain on City. u

Richford, VT. Especially With q
conclusion which shook the entire
village. a large grain elevator, hav-
ing a capacity of 100000 bushels,
exploded, causing the death of IL
workmen and 2 women. The ex-
plosion blew off the entire roof of
the building, scattering timbers in
all directions, and almost instantly
flames burst out all over the struc-
ture. Twenty-one men were employ
ed ins the building, of whom l / are
missing and undoubtedly persisted.
All lived in Richford.
Mrs. John Jelifore, who was walk
ing with companion along the Ca
madam Pacific Railroad track close
to the elevator, and an unknown
woman who was with her, were
burned to death.
The elevator was owned jointly by
the Canadian Pacific and Boston and
Maine Railroads, and was occupied
by the Quaker Oats Company, of
Chicago. The amount of grain 1t
contained was very large. The flames.
which are supposed to have been
started by spontaneous combustion
in the dry rust of the grain, spread
so quickly that the limited fire APP
aratus of the village was of no avail.
Nothing could prevent the entire
destruction of the elevator and its
contents.
The heat set fire to flour shed
near the elevator and the shed, to-
gether with rs freight cars standing
near it, were burned.
The wreckage and fire blocked the
tracks of the Canadian Pacific Rail
road completely for many hours, so
it was necessary for trains to make
a detour by way of Sherbrooke, Que.
The total loss is estimated at
$500, O00..

GIRL Slam on ire
este EVE 0Fs HER / WEDDING
Horse With Shoe Missing hey to
the Mystery.
TWO BULLETS IN GIRLS SKULL.
Ora Lee Found on Road With Two
Bullets in Her Head-Was to Wed
Guy Rasor- Horse, With Shoe Gone,
Found, in Stable of Rasor-Police
Hold Him.

Wadsworth, o. Especially With
unusual energy the police authorities
are endeavoring to unravel the mys-
terry Of the murder of Ora Lee, Fl
years old, handsome factory girl,
whose body, pierced by two bullets,
was found on the road between
Wadsworth and the hamlet of Gust
ard Hook.
Guy Rasor, the man whom Miss
Lee was to have married, is detain-
ed by the police pending develop
ments in an investigation. Rasor
denies all knowledge Of the tragedy,
and in support of his denial exhibits
marriage license procured at Woos-
ter.
The. body of sthe young woman
was found by Charles Rasor, a cousin
of Guy Rasor, as he passed along
the road in the early hours of the
day. Two bullets had entered the
girls skull, one piercing the fore
head, while the second crashed
through between the eye and nose.
No positive motive for the MUIR
der of the pretty young woman has
yet come to light. The band of
farmers, led by Marshal Bricker, that
hurried to the scene of the murder
as soon as word of the tragedy was
received, met Guy Rasor on the road
walking toward Wadsworth.
The police theory is that Miss
Lee was killed while riding in bug
gy with a male friend. The princi-
pal clew that led to the detention
of Guy Rasor is the fact that along
the road where the murder was COM
mitted are plainly seen the tracks
of a horse with one shoe missing.
An examination of the stables at the
Rasor home disclosed the fact that
one of Rasors horses has shoe
missing from one of its front feet.
Rasor refuses any explanation con-
corning this feature of the case. He
declares he can prove an alibi.
Another police theory is that a
rival for the affection of Miss Lee
may have shot the girl on learning
of her approaching marriage to
Rasor.
Miss Lee left Wadsworth ostensi-
bly, to prepare for her wedding. When
the body was found the hands were
folded over her breast and the legs
Strengthened out as If the corpse had
been carefully arranged after death.
The girls suitcase was on the ground
beside her. Her handbag was still
on her right wrist, and in her left
hand she clutched handkerchief.
There was no evidence of a struggle.
A hundred yards from the body
tracks in the dust indicated. where
horse and buggy had been hitched
to the fence.
Rasor apparently is bowed with
grief. He declares the last time he
saw his fiance was Wednesday night,
when they went driving.

AUSTRIA AND SERVIAON IL. n
THE BRINK OF WAR
Turkey Sends -Four Warships to a
Greek Island. a'

Vienna (By Cable) War between
Austria-Hungary and Servia is a re-
cognized possibility, although it is
believed here that it will be averted.
King Peter is in difficult position
on account of the clamor of the
his tenure on the throne never has
been very safe.
The Austrians, on their part, have
new feeling of national enterprise
on account of the forward movement
in the annexation of Bosnia and Her
zegovina, and would be more ready
for further adventures now than
they were week ago. That the
government recognizes the possibili-
ty, the military precautions in Hun
gary show. All the bridges over the
Save and the Danube near the Servi-
an frontier are strongly guarded by
patrols, and four Danube River mon
itors were concentrated at Budapest.
The government explains that this
maneuver was planned sometime ago,
but the Austrians would have Bel
grade at the mercy of their guns
If that were necessary
The newspapers contain warnings
to Servia. The Wiener Tagblatt
says: "The next few days will show
whether official Servia joins in this
game of bluff. II it wishes to make
declaration of bankruptcy, that can
soon be managed. The people of
Belgrade must not forget that when
once the mischief has begun there
can ba M nard0n -
The Die Ziet says: "Servia seems
to be- drifting into an adventure, it
can@bt be warned, too strongly
against this error. Servia can, under
certain circumstances, lose it's indie
pendence."
Other Vienna papers say that the
sleepy days of Goluchowski have
gone and that Won Aehrenthal is not
to be trifed with.
Berlin (By Cable) A special dis
patch to the Lokal Anzeiger from
Budapest says that four Austrian
monitors proceeded down the Dan
ube. All passengers coming from
Servia by railroad are compelled to
show their passports at the frontier
before entry into Austria.

Owing to the strained situation

sERvIANs DEMAND WAR.
Wild Demonstration At The Kings
Palace Becomes Threatening.

Belgrade (By Cable)@ The clamor
for war with Austria-Hungary be-
cause of the occupation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina is growing here
constantly and scenes of wild en-
thusiasm are being witnessed on the
streets of Belgrade.
A mob of demonstrators forced
its way to the precincts of the palace
and demanded to see King Peter.
The attitude of the crowd was so
threatening that troops and gen
darmes finally had to be called out.
They surrounded the palace and had
to charge several times before the
war-fevered patriots would dispense.
Great crowds again surrounded
the palace at night, shouting for war
and calling for the King to appear.
Finally King Peter, accompanied by
the Crown Prince. came to the ball
cony and implored the people not to
cause disturbances. He said:
Trust me and my government.
Both will do their duty
The crowd cheered the King, but
continued to shout War with Aus
trial"

TO ISSUE CHRISTMAS STAMPS.
Red Cross VIII Sell Them To Swell
Tuberculosis Fund.

Washington, D. G. Especially =.
In an effort to increase it's fund for
fighting tuberculosis the National
Red Cross Association will issue a
special Christmas stamp for use on
holiday mail. The stamp will have,
of course, no carrying power, but
will be used simply as Christmas
greeting.
A special design has already been
prepared by Howard Pyle. Beneath
a wreath of holly will be the inscrip-
ton, "a Merry Christmas and a Hap
py New Year" The stamps will sell
for / cent each or in little book
of nine for 10 cents.
The idea originated in Denmark.
where the stamps were sold by the
government. The first experiment
netted $4,000.
