some villages where the natives had
been very much bothered by Ave lions
which were said to be stlll In the
neighborhood a girl had been killed
two days before. and an enormous
amount of damage had been done
among the sheep and cattle. The first
day We camped there two OF our party
had shooting zerebas made at tho vii
lage to which the lions generally
came, and just before sunset they
went off there,
| tied up our two donkeys just out
side the camp, on the chance that the
lions might come and look us up. Just
after dark we were having dinner in
the tent when there was a scuGle out,
side, and 1t was evident that some,
thing was attacking our donkeys. 1t
was pitch dark, and we flrod several
shots In the direction OF the sound
before we discovered that the attack
Ing beasts were hyenas. We did not
mind having donkey killed instan-
taneously by a lion. but we had not
bargained for the poor beasts getting
mauled by hyenaS. SO taking a lamp
we went out to see what had hap
pened. My donkey had got off with
a nasty bite in the hollow Of the hind
leg above the hook. and We had him
taken into the camp at once. The
other was completely disembowclled
and must have been killed instantly.
We could not find any dead hyenas.
but we were pretty sure that on, or
two must have been hit. Seeing that
IL the lions did come TO the dead don

of hitting them on 80 dark a night,

have heard the arguments OF counsel
and will retire to deliberate upon it's
finding. The sense of this nearness to
a verdict Nhas begun to put a visible
impress upon DIR. Cleminson, who was
decidedly nervous yesterday.
About the middle of the afternoon the
defense closed its case and the hour for
adjournment was delayed to permit the
state to introduce witnesses in rebuttal.
The most important Of these Witness
es We're John Feubel, an auditor for the
Northwestern railway, and Mrs. George
Raymond, a friend of Anna Kolb. Both
testified to a conversation with Miss
Kolb, in which the latter had told them
that Cleminson was eager to be rid
Of his wife because of his fondness
for another woman.
The conversation referred to is al
legged to have taken place while the
three were sitting in cafe in August.
Feubel testified first as to this conver
satton. He said that he had met Miss
Kolb and Mrs. Raymond at the cafe.

Washington, Nov. ia tense situa-
ton exists this morning as result of
the execution Of two Americans-Can-
non and Grace-in Nicaragua. 1t is
fairly assumed the press dispatches
from Managua are accurate in the
statement that the men were executed
after court martial trial on the charge
that they had attempted, by use of
dynamite mines, to blow up President
Eelaya's troops transports.
If the state department advises con-
firm this story, the question at issue
will be whether the charge against the
men justified their execution. If it
should appear that the Americans Slip
ped within the lines under disguise
when they planted the mines, they
might be regarded as spies, and so sub
jected to summary execution. But if
engaged in their work openly it will
probably be held that they should have
been treated as prisoners of war. In
the latter case there is no doubt that
Zelaya will be called to account and
ample reparation demanded.

Panama, Nov. 19.-Passengers ar

Zelaya, distrusting his own men, has
surrounded himself with foreigners, and
that 1000 persons have been imprison-

made foreigners his conf1dants. All
Nicaraguans have been called to arms

Thinks Astor Yacht Safe.


New York, Nov. 19-Sonle assurance
that Col John Jacob Astors yacht
Nourmahal, which has been missing
in West Indian waters for ten days.
safely stood the recent hurricanes,
j. Durie of the steamship Annette,
which arrived with fruit from Jamaican
ports. Captain Durie, learning on land
ing of the solicitude felt for the Astor
party, reported that on Sunday, Nov.
IA, ale sighted a boat which he be-
lieved to be the Nourmahal, riding at
anchor in the reef harbor of Hawks
Nest, San Salvador, the island which
Columbus made famous by his landing
in 1892.
Colonel Astor's friends here were in
clined to doubt that the yacht seen by
Captain Durie was the Nourmahal, as
San. Salvador is nearly 200 miles north
of the region where Colonel Astor
planned to cruise. Captain Durie, how
ever said that he was familiar with
the appearance of the Astor yacht and
added that several of his officers had
been confident when they passed San
Salvador that the boat at anchor was
the Nourmahal.
The fruit steamer passed within three
miles of the yacht, a large white steam
vessel with yellow funnel and about
200 feet long, which description would
answer that of the Astor yacht. The
storm had lost its hurricane intensity
on Sunday, when the fruiter passed
San Salvador but heavy weather still
prevailed. The yacht showed no signs
of distress and Captain Durie thought
that it had put into its shelter before
the hurricane and was simply waiting
more favorable weather.

Well Known Author, Dies Suddenly.

Richard w. Glider, Century Editor and
Well Known Author, Dies Suddenly
New York, Nov. 19.-Richard Wat
son Glider, editor In chief of the Cen
tury magazine, died unexpectedly last
night Of angina pectoris, at the house
Of his sister, Mrs. Schuyler Van Rens-
selaer.
MIR. Glider was taken i'll during the
delivery of a lecture on Tennyson be-
fore the Young Mems Christian Asso-
ciation Of Orange, N. j., on Monday
night, November 8. On the way home
he collapsed, but managed first to sum-
mon assistance from New York by
telephone.
Mr.. Glider was up and about the fol-
lowing day. tho he suffered occasional
seizures of sharp pains. His physi-
clans realized that the nature of his
malady was grave, but they did not
acquaint Mr.. Glider with the truth
Yesterday morning Mr.. Glider was
resting easily. No fears for him were
felt and at noon his wife left the
house Shortly after 1 o'clock she was
recalled by an urgent message. Three
doctors were called in consultation
had only a few hours to live. He suf-
fered great pain and opiates We're ad-
ministered freely to ease his distress.
The end came about O'clock.
The funeral will be held from the
Church of the Ascension, and the bur-
ial will be at Bordentown, N. j., where
Mr.. Glider was born. The date and
the pallbearers have not yet been
named. 7
Richard Watson Glider early showed
his bent for letters. Born at Borden
town, N. j., in 1874, one Of eight chil-
dren, he was writing, setting the type
iffor, and publishing the st. Thomas
Register at Flushing. Long Island, when
he was 12lyears old.

magazine underwent a further reor-
ganization and change of ownership,
Mr.. Glider became, in 1881, editor-in-
chief of the Century Magazine. a po-
sition he held until his death.
Better known as a poet even, than
an editor, Mr.. Glider has published six
books of verse, among which are SON
nets and lyrics which have found a
setting in the American Anthology, and
have been rated by critics as sure to
pass into the heritage Of the language.
His best works are: ''The Celestial
Passion" Lyrics s'Two Worlds"

Inquiry Will Be THOROUGH.

Cherry, Nov. 19-That the Illinois
mining commission would go to the
bottom of the Cherry mine disaster in
a searching investigation was deter
mined definitely yesterday The causes
of the unparalleled catastrophe, the
condition of the mine, and the reports
of survivors, which may tend to at
tach some responsibility to the coal
company, will be Investigated in a
thorough manner
Doubts of the powers of the COM
mission to investigate the disaster in
a manner which will determine respon-
sibility, expressed by several members
yesterday, apparently were dispelled to-
day after communication was had with
Governor Deneen at Springfield. Last
night it was stated that the commits
sion would take independent steno-
graphic reports of the sessions of the
coroner's jury, reports by the state
mine inspectors, and testimony of wit
nesses which will throw light on the
causes of the disaster.
Taylor Brings Stenographer.
Prof. Graham Taylor returned to
Cherry from Chicago in the morning.
He brought with him Neil Satterlee,
commerce commission, who will take
the independent reports for the COM
mission. Professor Taylor conferred
with his colleagues on the commission,
and the conference apparently further
set at rest the question of the COM
missions investigating powers.
"under the law creating the COM
mission, passed by the last legislature,
the body is vested with the fullest
powers" Professor Taylor declared
last night.
"But can the commission determine
the responsibility for this catastrophe ?'
he was asked.
'4The commission has broad powers,
but I do not like to declare positively
on that point" was the reply. I'VE
shall make a rigid investigation of the
disaster, and the full results of our in
vestigation will be included in a report
The report probably will not declare
definitely where responsibility attaches,
if it is found that it lies definitely any
where, but it will show pretty con-
clusively where responsibility may be
laid"
Governor Asks Thoroughness.
1t is known that Governor Deneen has
urged the commissioners TO prosecute
the inquiry to the last conclusion and
to go to the limit of their powers. A
report to the effect that the Cherry
disaster and it's investigation will be
taken up at the special session of the
legislature If the powers of the :isiin!!.a g
commission are found to be limited and
that the appointment of a special in
quisitorial body will be asked, cir
culated among the state officials last
night. Professor Taylor sent telegram
| to Governor Deneen informing him OF
the days developments and the fac,
| that an Independent stenographic rec
ord of the coroner's inquest would be
taken for the commission and formal
meeting held next Tuesday.
"Will the commission make def
mite beginning of its investigation or
Tuesday? he was asked.
I'VE will meet Tuesday in regula,
session." he said. II do not know, Of
course, just what will be decided or
then, but the meeting should be pro.
| ductive of results"

RECOVERING AND IDENTIFYING
BODIES OF VICTIMS OF CHERRY
MINE FIRE.
MANY MINERS BURNED
BEYOND RECOGNITION
Identification Of Some Will be Impos-
sibIe-Grief- Stricken Men, Women
and Children Make Up Sad Process
sion to Temporary Morsue-Militia-
men Remain on Guard.

Cherry, Ill.,, Nov. 19.-Three bodies,
the first recovered thru the main shaft.
were brought to the surface at o'clock
this morning. A pile Of others were in
hampered by fire. Four other bodies
were brought up on the next trip of the
cage, one of them boy The ambu-
lance, guarded by militiamen, was fol-
lowed by crowds to the town hall,
which was turned into temporary
morgue. Here scores of women sought
to identify the dead as their own, but
the condition of the bodies made this
difficult.
Few Are Identified.
The second and saddest act of the
mine tragedy, the recovery and at
tempted Identification of the dead be-
gan today. Besides the bodies re-
covered, fifty or seventy-five others,
beyond reach for the time being be-
cause Of fire, were seen by the fire
fighters in a smouldering fire beyond.
Grief stricken men, women, and chill
dren formed a great circle about the
DSAiSS pIOo5ill uR,
away, unable to endure the sobs and
cries of those who mourned, seeking
their dead. Only two bodies so far
were identified, Diclsie Buckles, a
stable boy, and Louis Gibbs.
Men Were Suffocated.
There was much confusion in the
Identification of bodies, in some in
stances two or three persons claiming
the same body. The Identification of
the first two is now in doubt The
condition of the bodies recovered shows
clearly they died from suffocation and
that they had been dead many days.
Water was poured into the mine DUR
ing the fire without quenching it. The
flames turned the water on the floors
OF the veins where lay the dead into
boiling rivers, and in 1t were cooked
the unfortunate dead. That they did
not die by fire is evident because the
clothing is not even scorched.
