DYING, ACCUSES HIRED MAN.
Chicagoan Murdered at His Country
Home Following Quarrel.

h. kvasnicka, owner of a Chicago jew
elry store, died Friday afternoon at his
country home, one mile northeast of
North Judson, Ind, as the result of be-
ing shot at 10 80 o'clock the previous
night by unknown person. Andrew Rou-
blk, who had been employed by kvasnicka
and was discharged Wednesday, has been
arrested. Roubik declares he is innocent
kvasnicka was spending the week with
his family. Thursday night the family
attended an entertainment at Knox, re-
turning home shortly after 10 o'clock
Mr.. kvasnicka unhitched the horse and
as he was about to enter the barn he was
shot by person concealed in the chicken
house. The injured man was able to rush
into the house, as blood gushed from a
wound in the abdomen While his wife
endeavored to remove the clothing and
stanch the flow of blood, Kvasnicka con-
tinued to declare Andrew Roubik shot
me-" Before he died he made a state
ment in which he declared that the hired
man, with whom he had quarreled, had
fired the gun. Investigation showed that
during the absence of the family in the
evening the house had been robbed and
Kvasnicka's shotgun, which was kept in
the bedroom, was taken.

nee
Several firemen were injured, one seri-
ously, two bystanders were hurt and
property loss of 100000 was caused by a
disastrous FIRE which swept through the
plant of the Standard Sash and Door
Company, 1919 and 5S21 Center avenue,
Chicago, at 80 a. N. Wednesday and
spread to lumber yards and residences
adjoining the structure. Hundreds OF oc-
cupants of homes within a half mile ra-
dius were aroused by the glare of the
flames and started to pack their house
hold belongings, as the fire threatened to
get beyond control of the department.
Members of three families escaped just
in time. as their homes caught fire and
were quickly destroyed. The blaze is be-
lieved to have been of incendiary origin,
although the police could find no reason
for ohe plant being set afre. Two men
who were seen running away from the
building as the flames, preceded by ter
rife explosion, broke out, were arrested
after they had been fired on repeatedly by
detectives. Both men were covered with
sawdust, according to the police, and one
of them carried a revolver. They were

Following torrential rains the river
rose three inches above the record
breaking food of 1889 Stock valued at
thousands of dollars, including $500
sheep penned up in the stock yards at
North Fort Worth, was washed down
stream and drowned A dozen or more
persons are reported to have been
killed in Fort Worth in spite of efforts
to rescue those in peril. Rowboats from
Handley, White City and Lake Coamo,
hauled to the scene of overfows on
street cars, wagons and in patrol wag-
ons, figured prominently in the work of
rescue.
A woman, a child and three men
were among the known victims of the
flood The body of the woman fioated
past the foot of East Fourth street and
caused panic among negro refugees
A negro child was washed from it's
mothers arms in the Rock Island yards.
An unknown white man was drowned
mile from the long bridge. His coat,
containing note of farewell, was
found lodged in a treetop. A negro at
tempting to pilot two men in a buggy
through deep water opposite the city
park gate was thrown from his horse
and drowned. A German in North Fort
Worth was caught in the swift water
and drowned
Many persons are missing, and the
police believe the number reported is
only the beginning of long list Of
deaths in the flood. Not until the wa
ter has receded will it be possible to
tell the exact loss in life and property.

Mitchell Warns Operators.

Former President Mitchell of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, noting the report that
the anthracite operators had decided to
reduce wages of the miners to make up
for the payment of damages under the liza
bility law and for the compliance with
the safety appliance law, declares that
the miners will not tolerate such an in
Justice" The proposal to take over the
retail business, he says, would mean the
virtual reduction in wages, as there would
be no fuctuation in retail prices to be
divided under the Sliding scale.
