Further b%loodshed seems imminent,
PARDONED CONVICT SHOT.
Further Trouble Expected in Mining
Town Following Shotgun Fight.

Owingsville, Ky.-A. j. Ballard
engaged in a shotgun battle with
Allie and Boone Henry, brothers, at
Yale, a mining town. Ballard and
Boone Henry were fatally wounded.
Further trouble is feared.
Ballard participated 20 years ago in
a fight resulting in the death of two
of his brothers and the %wounding of
a number of men under unusual cir
cumstances. He had killed Peter Spen-
Ger and on trial was sentenced to life
imprisonment.
When Ballard was taken to Jail a
riot was started by his brother. Bal
lard was pardoned about six years ago.
1t has since been reported that a man
who died in the west confessed that
he and not Ballard killed Spencer and
that Ballard was serving his sentence
unjustly.

Easton, Pa. - Frank Smith,
son of City Comptroller Chester
Smith, Sunday murdered his wife and
then attempted to commit suicide.
Smith and his wife had been separated
for some time. Sunday morning the
husband forced an entrance to the
house occupied by his wife and her
sister.
After securing a carving knife,
Smith stole to the room occupied by
the two women, and plunged the
weapon into his wife's heart, killing
her instantly.
He left the house and, going to his
fathers residence several blocks away,
told him of the crime he had commit

DISASTER NEAR CARTHAGE, N. M,
WRECKS WORKINGS AND
BURlES MEN.
NOON HOUR SAVES MANY
Part of Shift Were Above the Ground
at Dinner and Escaped Certain
Death-Five Men Caught
in Mine Slide.

Albuquerque, N. M.-Shortly be-
fore noon Tuesday a terrific ex-
plosion took place in the Bernal coal
mine at Carthage, n. NJ, operated by
the Carthage Fuel Co. Nine men are
known to be dead, and there are 9TH
ers not heard from. Fire damp is
supposed to have been the cause.
There were fewer men in the mine
than usual, as one relay was at dinner
above the ground when the explosion
took place. 1t is believed that the
mines are on fire as a result of the
explosion, but owing to the condition
of telegraph lines few details can be
tanned.
The miners are Americans and Mex
leans, with a few Greeks and Italians.
The number of men employed is not
known here. Carthage is in western
Socorro county, on a branch line of
railroad connecting with the Santa
Fe and owned by the coal company.
A telephone message from Socorro
at 1870 a. m. said that several bodies
had been recovered. They were black
ened and mutilated.

TERRORIZED BY
NIGHT RIDERS
HUNDRED RAIDERS ovERPoWER
THREE POLICEMEN; FIRE
ON TWO MERCHANTS.
TOBACCO PLANTS DESTROYED
Telephone Girls Are Held Prisoners,
and Police Chief Is OverpoWered
When He Tries to Give Alarm
From Fire Tower.

Russellville, Ky.-Night riders,
seville, Logan county, at 1880 o'clock
Friday morning and, after overpow-
ering the three policemen and pro-
viding against the giving of an alarm,
dynamited and burned the two inde-
pendent tobacco oncerns in the city
and rode away out the Hopkinsville
and GAINESVILLE pike.
The first intimation the residents
of the town had of the presence of
the night riders was the explosion of
the dynamite. Capt. w. r. Bruce, the
chief of police, as soon as he heard
the noise, fastened to the fire tower,
where he attempted to sound the
alarm, but he was overpowered by
four of the masked night riders and
compelled to desist. The two patrol
men on duty were sought and guard
ed by four of the night visitors.
Two Merchants Fired On.
Two Russellville merchants, j. R.
Mclean, proprietor of a grocery store,
and J. Henry Mosley, proprietor of a
dry goods store, did not hurry into
their homes as fast as the night rid
ers desired and were fired Upon.
Scattering birdshot struck them,
but penetrated the skin only in one
or two places. Few of the residents
made any attempt to get out on the
streets. The Wake warehouse. for
merly known as the Luckett Wake
warehouse, and q branch of the Luck
EFT Wake house at Clarksville, Tenn,
was totally destroyed. 1t was here
that the night riders began their op-
erations.
When they had made sure that this
building and contents would be de-
stroyed they rode on to the eastern
part of town, where they ~dynamited
and fired the factory of the American
Snuff Co., of which Fountain Pitts is
manager.
Flames from the Wake warehouse
were communicated to the planning
mill of Roberts & Brown adjoining,
and this structure, together with the
stock of finished lumber in the sheds
and the yards, was destroyed.

SAILORS SAVED; CAPTAIN LOST.
Seven of Norwegian Bark's Crew Are
Picked Up Starving.

New York-Seven men, picked
up in a small boat in mid
ocean, after eight days of terror,
without food or water, their limbs
swollen and their bodies covered with
boils, arrived Friday on the oil tank
steamer HOLMAN Newton from Mid
dlesborough, England, and told of the
wreck of their bark, the Germanic,
the drowning of the captain, who
went down with the ship, and the
disappearance of another small boat
containing eight members of the
crew. These men are almost GER
tainly lost.
The Norwegian bark Germanic put
out Of the port Of Weymouth, N. S.,
with a cargo of pyllp wood for Fleet
wood, England, November %. The
vessel encountered a hurricane and
was tossed about like a cork. She
sprang a leak, the decks burst open
and the poop "a swept away. The
waves washed over until she was full
of water.
On December 0 her condition was
so hopeless that it was determined to
abandon her. The captain fingered
too long. A big wav tore free the
small boats, and, before the eyes of
his men, he went down with his ship.

TEL. PERSONS ARE INJURED
Fumes and Smoke Lead to the Belief
That Dynamite Mas the
Explosive Used.

Kansas City, Moan attempt to
blow up the First National Bank build
ing with dynamite was made at noon
Saturday. Just as tine bank was clos
ing its doors for the day an explosion.
the force of which wrecked the en-
tire basement of the bank, occurred,
while the wardrobe rooms were filed
with clerks, who were getting ready
TO go to lunch.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife. All the evidence points direct
~ to a dynamite bomb. A great hole
was made in the floor of the cloak
room. Another hole 3 feet square was
made in the wall, which is IS inches
thick. A steel beam 2 feet wide and
several inches thick was bent, and the
wall of steel, tile and terra Gotta was
completely destroyed. This wall d.
vides h cloakroom and the toilet
room, was a foot and a half thick.
Ten Men Hurt.
Ten men were injured in the ex-
plosion, but none seriously.
No arrests have been made. Joseph
Pech, a Hungarian carpenter of this
city, n of the ten injured, was taken
to the police station and questioned
by the police. No charge was pre-
ferred against the man. He was soon
released.
Just two minutes after the closing
hour the main room of the bank was
crowded with customers and many of
the clerks were in The basement.
q. f. Swinney, president of the
bank, was in his private office when
the explosion occurred.
John Pelletier, superintendent of the
insurance patrol, who was %transacting
sCme business with the bank at the
time, shouted:
BE calm, it's all over now"
Il realized" said Mr.. Pelletier, that
it was an explosion, but of what ma
ture ! did not know just then. MY
first thought was that 1t was natural
gas, but this theory was dispelled on
examination"
A general alarm was turned in, and
when the fire department arrived the
main floor was filled with a pungent
smoke or grayish color. The smell
was that of powder or dynamite.
On examination Assistant Fire Chief
Henderson and Supt. Pellctier said
that they were convinced that the ex-
plosion was of dynamite and not of
natural gas.

what probability there was that a YER

tragedy is to be the sole defense. This
was made clear at the very outset of
the proceedings, when Mr.. Littleton
formally served notice that the for
mer plea of not guilty was amended
by the specification that the defendant
was insane when the homicide was
committed.
The trial opened with little or no
ceremony and there was distinct evil
dence of a slackening of public inter-
est. Admittance to the courtroom was
vigorously restricted and all day long
there were vacant benches in the cur
tailed quarters given over to specta-
tors. The only women allowed to be
present are the members of the de-
PENDANTS family and newspaper writ
ers. Artists, who were barred after
the first few days of the first trial,
were allowed to sketch to their
hearts content.
Throngs Follow Mrs. ThaW.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw was again the
center of interest, even to the exclu-
sion of the defendant himself. She
was followed by throngs of curious
persons as she entered and left the
courthouse for the morning and aft
ernoon sessions. She did not attend
the night sitting. The long court
hours and the tedious monotony of
the repeated jury examinations proved
intensely fatiguing.
Every possible convenience is to
be provided for the Jurors, who are
to be locked up throughout the trial.
They are to be quartered in one of the
fashionable hotels on Upper Broadway
and luncheon will be served at an
expensive downtown restaurant. The
jury examinations did not develop
such a strong vein of %unalterable opin-
ion as was anticipated and many of
the talesmen were excused on other
grounds than bias based upon read
ing of extensive reports of the first
trial.
