Johnson against the safe. and then
they fought back across the room un-
til Ward got in another blow and
knocked Ben against the glass door
The storS that Ward struck Johnson
with his revolver, is nonsense.
Wards only revolver is small
pocket affair, weighing less than a
pound, and although they were
fighting furiously, I could see the
whole thing and Ward did not use
anything but his fists.
'"This is the whole story, just ex-
actly as it occurred. It is the straight
truth if 1 ever told the truth, and L
think the people who have known
me for any length of time will vouch
for my truth and veracity."
wiIkerson said: ward was fighting
mad. and SO was Johnson, and the
fight was fierce. but Ben's injuries
were due to his falls. and not to any
intention on the part of Ward"
George Ward admits that he was
mad when he fought with Johnson.
He hit me when I was trying to
hold him. said Ward. when I
started, my intention was to take
Johnson out to the hack. That il
what Uncle John told me to do.
When I began to fight, I fought my
best, and johnson was awful man,

SCARED TENDERFOOT.
Body of Horse Drivers Put Up a job
on an Eastcrner.

EI Paso, Tex, July ia tender
foot" frightened almost into insanity
by lurid tales of the blood thirst OF
Indians and Mexican bandits, and a
sudden midnight fake attack on the
camp, was responsible yesterday for
the spreading broadcast of a tale OF
wholesale murder of horsemen near
Alton, y. NJ, by band of Indians or
Mexican bandits. The tenderfoot's
yarn was investigated early today by
officers. who had hurried to the scene
of the reported slaughter and found to
be nothing but a hoax.
According to the story told by F. w.
Scott. who had just Joined a party
driving horses overland, the camp was
attacked last night by the outlaws and
every man except himself killed.
Scott said he feigned death until the
outlaws had departed, then he ran a
mile and half in his stocking feet 20
Alton to spread the lurid news OF the
massacre.
1t develops that the horsemen play
ed upon Scott's ignorance of the
horseman and his ways. and put in
all day Sunday relating tales Of theft
and murder by Indians and Mexican
bandits. When Scott retired he was
badly scared After every one had
retired firing and shouting suddenly
started from several points around the
camp and Scott, half clad, made rec
ord time to Alton with his tale OF
murder.

Three Killed and Many Injured at
Fireworks Display.

Kansas City, July 12-Three people
were Instantly killed by the explosion
of a bomb during a postponed celebra-
ton of st. Johns day by the parish
toner's of the Holy Rosary Roman
Catholic church here last night. Two

lot opposite the church where the
pyrotechnical mart of the celebration
was being held. Hundreds of people
were crowded in the lot. The dead are
of touching off the fireworks, and d
negro and negress, who were bystand-
ers.
The explosion followed a day of fes-
tivity. The fireworks in the early part
of the programme had been displayed
without mishap, and almost every Ital-
ian in the city was congregated in and
about the lot.
Grassiffe had constructed a bomb by
filling a section of gas pipe with pow
der and plugging up one end. He had
been warned to place it in the ground
before firing it, but neglected to do so.
The crowd surged around him as he
knelt to light the fuse and before he
could regain his feet the explosion oc-
CURED.
Pieces of pipe flew in all directions.
A panic followed as the crowd strove
to get away. The policemen+ who were
and knocked down, had been
detailed to the place to preserve order
Some one telephoned the police station
and an ambulance soon arrived to care
for the injured.
The explosion blew out -7indows in
the church and in nearby houses.
