Judging from present indications il

Judging from present indications it
is likely that there will be quite re-
spectacle launch fleet at Weber pond
before the end Of the coming season.
The fleet last season consisted of one
launch, owned by Morrill, and Dollivel
of this city, but Harry Briggs now has
a launch ready to go overheard as soon
as the ice is ont of the pond. and Mr..
Lawrence of this city. also has one
underway. So far as is known f. S.
Hall will continue to navigate his skifl
on the waters of the pond next sum
mer as in the days of yore, and Major
Sturtevant may stick to his canoe. but
it is possible that both of these gentle
men may be burning gasoline before
the season isjOver.

MANY MEN ON TRAIL OF
TWO ESCAPED CONVICTS
Posses Pursue Prisoners Who Crossed
River on Guy Wire-Both
Are Sailors

SACRAMENTO, March 30.-Numer-
ols prison guards and sheriffs' posses
are in pursuit of Michael McKenna and
Alexander Hagan, the two convicts
who escaped from Folsom prison yes
terday by sliding several hundred feet
across the American river on a guy
wire.
The escapes have SO far kept to the
Sbrush in safety. Once since their es-
cape yesterday morning they have
been seen. George Drousing, a far
mer, passed them yesterday on the
road near Loomis Placer county.
Both men are sailors and are igno-
rant of the lay of the country. 1t is
thought that they will try to board a
train and escape for the sea. The
railroad lines in the vicinity are being
closely guarded to intercept such an
attempt.
Warden Reilly will make a strict in
vestigation of the conduct of the three
guards who We're supposed to be In
charge of the men, and will dismiss
them if it appears that they were slack
in their duty.

NOTED SCIENTIST KILLED
BY INSULAR TRIBESMEN

killed by the wild tribesmen of that
vicinity.
DR.. Jones had been in the PhKp-
pines two years investigating the Wild
tribes of the islands and preparing an
exhaustive report on them for the mu-
scum. For several months he had
been studying the Ilongots, living
among Them in the hills.
The government is preparing to send
a party from Echague, the nearest

GUTHRIE, Okal., March 31.-Crazy
Snake has been captured. He is pelIs
held under heavy guard at thompson
farm, west of Checotah.
This was confirmed by a telepIone
message from Checotah at l:SO o'clocA
this morning. He Will be taken 10
Jail in Muskogee at daybreak.
Crazy Snake is badly wounded in
the thigh.
Nine prisoners were taken to MUS
kogee tonight and placed in jail there
and seven to Checotah.
Great excitement prevails among the
Seminole freedmen in the vicinity OF
Kaldenville because of the arrst Oh
one of their number, Frank Coker,
charged with the killing OF Marsnal
Baum and Deputy Odom during the
fight at Crazy Snakes house Saturday.
The people in that district are badly
frightened over reports that the Semi
noles are arming to join Crazy snake
band. Negro agitators are working
among the Indians.
1t is charged that efforts are being
made to belittle the trouble on ac-
count of supposed unpleasant no
toriety to the state.
A dispatch from Henryetta said mill
tary officers had admitted, unofficially,
that thirteen negroes and Indians had
been killed since Thursday.
Thomas Watson, a prominent citizen
of Sapulpa, said today that the bodies
of nearly thirty negroes had been found
near the scene of the original disturb
ance, near Crazy Snakes home.
Deputy Sheriffs Frank Jones and
William Clarke told a staff correspond
ent of the Daily Oklahoman that they
had good reason to believe that more
than Marshal Baum and Deputy Odom
were killed in Saturdays fight
While digging in the ashes and debris
of the RACED home of Crazy Snake to-
day the correspondent found the
charred bones of four men.
Jones and Clarke investigated and
were convinced that several Indians
were burned.
They say the Indians were killed in
the fight and their bodies cremated by
their companions.

COURT VICTORY LAST CHAPTER
OF LONG ROMANCE
Mrs. Caroline Eddy Takes Fight to
Appellate Tribunal and Gets Right
full Share of Lumber Mag
mates Wealth

DETROIT, Mich, March 30.-Local
attorneys for Mrs. Caroline Eddy, the
aged widow of Charles X. Eddy,
pioneer lumberman of Michigan, re-
ceived word today that the United
States court of appeals at Cincinnati
had reversed the decision OF Judge
Swan of the United States court here,
who thought she was not entitled to
more of her husbands estate than the
$500 annuity given her in his will
Under this will the wife, who is
past sc years old, will receive about
100000.
Mrs. Eddy brought the suit against
Walter S. Eddy of Saginaw, son of her
husband by his first VIE ana executor
of the will.
In rendering the decision the court
ignored an assignment of her possible
rights in the estate which the WIDOW
gave to Mrs. Eddy's son after her nus
bands death in 1901 at Los Angeles,
Cal.
Mrs. Caroline Eddy now lives with
her son. Willis e. Chapman, on farm,
near Woodstock, Iowa. After her hus-
band died she went to the home of
a son in Troutdale, Ore, near Port
land, and after several years journeyed
to Iowa, where she since has lived
Lived in Los Angeles
Mrs. Eddy's marriage to Charles X.
Eddy followed an early romance. When
they were young their engagement was
broken. In 1897 they met by chance III
Chicago. Mr.. Eddy was then 76 years
old and his former fiancee was "a.
She was a widow and Mr.. Eddy's wife
had died. Both had families of grown
children They renewed their friend
ship and were married.
They moved to Los Angeles and lived
happily there until Mr.. Eddy's death in
1901. He provided in his will that his
widow should receive an annuity or
$500.
Walter S. Eddy was executor, and
after his fathers death paid to Mrs.
Eddy $500 for the furniture in the Los
Angeles home and received from his
stepmother an assignment of all her
interest in her husbands estate.
Attorney Harry Pelfman began suit
five years later to recover Mrs. Eddy S
portion as widow.
Judge Severns in reviewing the case
said that the executor, Walter S. Eddy,
had driven IAN exceedingly hard bar
gain with the complainant" and that
She is CLEARLY entitled to relief"
