A SCORNED WOMAN
WILL REVEAL ALL
Intimates Rival Got $643,OoO Of
Missing Funds.

cincinnati, OHIO Tsp Iclal Mrs.
Jeanette Stewart. also known as
Mrs. Ford, SDne of the women ac-
cused by Charles L. Warmer, de-
faulting local treasurer of the Big
Four Railroad, of having shared in
his populations by Matchmaking him,
declared she would tell the whole in
side story of the $643 theft then the
case came to court. Mrs. Stewart
denied she had ever received money
from Warmer.
The sudden breaking of her silence
was caused, according to her, by a
quarrel which she had with another
women, who has also been mentioned
by Warmer. This quarrel resulted
in the attachment of Mrs. Stewards
furniture. The officers who made
the attachment were quickly follow
ed by reporters, and in the stress of
excitement Mrs. Stewards reserve
broke down.
81 never received a cent from
Charles Warmer" she said, "and 1
never gave any information to the
railroad about his shortage. 1t was
another woman that did it all; a
woman thought was my friend. l
know the whole story, and I will
tell it in court, too
One of the women said to be in
volved in the case started to leave
Cincinnati, but was advised by de-
tectives that if she left the city her
arrest would follow. She then aban-
doned the plan.
"This woman said Mrs. Stewart.
II took into my fiat and she occupied
it while was out of town. thought
she was my friend. She went to a
department store and guaranteed my
account there. Now we have quarrel
ed and she has gone up there and
withdrawn her guarantee, resulting
in this suit against me-"
Mrs. Stewart explained her lavish
expenditure of money in the past by
saying that as the daughter of Mar
tin Timmons, of Portsmouth, o., she
had inherited a large fortune, and
had not been dependent upon anyone.
Through the issuance of attach
ment papers intended to recover GER
tain goods sold to her by a depart
ment store in this city the presence
was revealed in fashionable apart
ment house of the woman who has
been mentioned by Warmer as one
of his alleged blackmailers. The
woman is well known in this city
and in Chicago.
From a high official source it is
learned that the first intimation of
the impending scandal in the office
of the local treasurer came through
a Chicago woman who, it is alleged,
had been sharing in the ill-gotten
spoils, and whose income had been
shut off.
At first the statement of the wom-
an was not credited, and Melville
E. ingalls,, chairman of the board of
the Big Four, declared that it was
almost impossible for him to be-
lieve that there could be anything
wrong with Warmer for several
days, Notwithstanding a hasty ex-
animation made by some of the high
er officials of the company had
brought to light the first facts of
the shortage.
At present the questions that is
exercising the railroad officials is.
What became of the s64S,0O0 which
Warmer admits having stolen?

Auto Driver, At Point OF Revol.
yer To Drive Him To A Louisville
(Ky.) Bank - Begins Shooting
With Two Revolvers - President
And Cashier Fall - Flees In The
Auto-Captured On River And
Life Threatened.
Louisville. KY. Especially In an
attempt at bank robbery Thomas
Jefferson Hall, a red-headed youth
of seventeen, of Louisville, dealer
in secondhand furniture. entered
Merchants National Bank at New
Albany, Ind, shortly before noon and
killed ]. Hungary Fawcett, cashier of
the bank, seriously wounded John K.
Woodward, president of the bank,
and wounded James r. Tucker, ne
gro chauffeur, probably fatally.
When Hall entered the bank he
carried a pistol in each hand. Aft
er commanding everyone to throw up
his hands and 'get into the vault,
Hall began shooting.
There was rush for safety by
the clerks and several persons who
we're transacting business in the
bank.
President Woodward advanced to-
ward the robber and attempted to
talk to him. The robbers response
to Mr.. Woodward's question as to
what was wanted was two shots,
which struck the official in the arm
and stomach, inflicting dangerous
wounds.
Cashier Fawcett then rushed for
ward, but before he could reach the
fallen president was shot in the neck
and breast, dying a short time aft
erward.
Cashier Fawcett was shot through
the chest and neck and died almost
instantly President Woodward was
shot through the liver and his in
testines were perforated.
Following the shooting, the muir
derer rushed from the bank and tried
to escape in an automobile which he
had taken from the curb in front of
the residence of it's owner, Mrs. Wal
ter Escott, in Louisville. He had
forced the negro chauffeur at the
point of pistol to drive him to
the bank.
The robber, still without speaking
a word, walked quickly out the
front door, dropping one of his re-
volvers just outside the building.
Turning the corner to where the au-
tomobile stood he pumped into the
rear seat with the command to the
negro, Get out of this as fast as
you can"
But the automobile stood still, the
negro, thoroughly frightened at the
course of events, refusing to move.
The robber jumped to the ground,
drew a revolver and sent bullet
into the Negroes back. An instant
later the assassin was running at top
speed down the bank to the Ohio,
where he jumped into skiff.
He had pulled out some distance
into the stream before the astonish-
ed citizens of the town and the river
bank knew what had happened. One
old sailor on dredge boat, seeing
the man rowing frantically for the
Kentucky shore, gave the alarm
through a megaphone.
Owners of river craft then engag-
ed in race for the desperate. The
police, however, in motor boat dis
tanced all followers and in short
time had their man at bay on an
island just south of the big bridge
connecting New Albany with West
Louisville. They covered him with
revolvers and the arrest was made
without "a fight.

which caved in upon them, and it is
doubtful whether, many of the bodies
can ever be recovered

when rescue work was temporarily

broke out with renewed fierceness
made further descents by rescuers
impossible.

Cherry, Ill. Especially - Nearly
400 men and boys, it is believed, are
dead or perishing in the st. Paul
mine as result of the fire, though
experts who penetrated the smoke
filed air. shaft to a depth of 800
feet returned with a ray of hope
for the grief-stricken relatives of
the entombed miners.
That the fire is extinguished is the
report of mining experts sent by
Governor Deneen to investigate the
calamity and it's cause. For more
than 80 hours the prisoners had
been cut off from fresh air before
the shaft was entered and undoubt-
edly have been subjected to smoke
and gases.
That life could exist under the
terrible conditions is doubted by
many; but because no trace of high
temperature was found in the depths
of the mine friends of the miners
and even officers of the company re-
newed some of their failing hope.
A. j. Earling, president of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railroad Company, which owns the
mine, received an encouraging re-
port after heroic efforts had been
made to open the mine for the re-
covery of the entombed men.
From John Reid, son of one of the
missing miners, Mr. Earling heard
that a conclusion of the earth had
been felt by farmers half mile
south of the main shaft. This re-
port was sent first to Henry Burke,
an officer of the mining company.
Burke rushed to President Earring
and exclaimed:
eve heard signals from the men.
John Reid's boys says that he and
farmers whose land is over the south
ern end of the mine felt several con.
cussions of the earth. There were
several shocks, and the men who
felt them are convinced that they
were shots fired by the imprisoned
miners to signal to the people above
thatrthey still live
Would the shots mean that or
that the miners had committed sui
eide to end their agony?" asked the
railroad president.
"The men report" replied Burke,
tthat the signals were distinct and
that they were meant for an assur-
ance that at least some of them live"
"Oh, hope so,'' said Mr.. Earring.
THAT is at least encouraging"

DORSEY AND THE COW.
Pet Animal Eats All Cereal Ads Placed
on Gill Board.

on Bill Board.
While everybody realizes that w. S.
Dorsey Is a good grocer. because he
has proved himself TO be. there are
few n any OF our good people who
know that he has a hypnotic influence
over dumb animals, as has been
demonstrated upon two occasions. We
do not attempt TO intimate that Mr..
DOrsey's mind Is no better than the
average pony. horse or COW, but really
a great imRg9vement since they have
got 10 thinking as he has.
About three years ago Mr.. Dorsey,
who Is very fond OF the animal king
dom. owned a mule 20 which he wa
very fOndly attached. While he had
the time Ne devoted some attention 20
this mule. taking the personal re-
sponsibil.ty 20 give the animal his
daily food and water. The animal
finally caught on" and II his master
vas not on time and Il was thirsty,
all the mule did was 10 go 20 the
pump, grasp the handle In It's teeth
and pump whatever was necessary 20
satisfy les thirst Mention of the re
markable feats OF this dumb animal
was made at the time.
But while this was great and at.
tracted the attention and admiration
OF the community. Mr.. Dorsey has
something 20 offer which now far ex-
GELS this creature OF the dumb animal
family. The mule having passed 20
point beyond being petted, was left
10 bis own destiny. and Mr.. Dorsey
took as his pet a COW. He fed this COW
on the choicest OF feed, and there Is
no other reason 90 account for
Il than that while feeding her
from his hand the various boxes
OF food stuifs and cereals, the animal
had noticed the labels and developed
certain weaknesses for certain
foods The result Is now that Bill
Poster n. =. Benson, who owns a
board On the lot where the COW Is ac.
cOmmOdated. cannot post certain
brands OF cereals which are illustrated
on the stand. as they viii not stand
until the paste a. dry The COW
recognizing the Illustration OF the
brand. makes haste 90 get away with
IL. with the result that Mr.. Dorsey
declares his feed bin for this particu
lar COW has fallen on twenty per cent
while Bill Poster Benson's contract fol
keeping the board covered has de-
creased almost an equal amount
Benson don't like a.. but he must
settle with the COW.
