MERCER Pa, March 31.--Mrs. Helen
Boyle, wife Of James H. Boyle, kid
naper of Willie Whitla, was arraigned
before Justice OF the Peace McClain at
this place today, accused of kidnapping.
She entered a plea of not guilty and
was held for the action of the grand
jury in the sum of $4,000 bail.
The woman was taken from jail by
the sheriff and a couple Of deputies.
They went to the ONCE OF the justice
about a block distant. Mrs. Boyle was
asked If she would plead guilty or not
guilty and replied
YES. / am not guilty and I enter a
plea of not guilty"
DO you want to have a hearing at
this timer" asked the justice, "or will
you waive a hearing?"
For the present" she replied, 1T
will be better for me to waive hear
"Well, that is about ALL" replied the
Justice. "Of course there will be bail
in this case 1t is fixed at $4,000. Have
you any enc that will go on your
bond?"

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, April l.
The military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth was half destroyed by fire early
this morning. The 800 prisoners were
removed under heavy guard of United
States troops and confined in stock
AIDES.
None Of the prisoners escaped, so
far as a hasty resume of the situa-
ton showed, but this may not be def
nitely known until daylight. Owing
to the low-water pressure the fire de-
partment of the fort was almost USE
less.
The fire was fought by the soldiers
Of the fort Two soldiers were in
jured.
Much excitement attended the re-
moval Of the prisoners, and it was
feared that they would make an Or
ganized break for liberty.
The fire broke out at 10 o'clock in
the tailor shop and soon 1t was seen
the main building was doomed. A great
cutlery at once arose in the prison. the
convicts fearing they would be burned
to death.
Soon several companies of soldiers,
Including, cavalrymen, were under
arms.
strong Gordon of troops was then
thrown around the prison, and the
delivery of the prisoners was begun.
Many Lives Endangered
When the bolts of the cell house
doors were shot back, the flames had
reached the main building. If every
thing had not been done in perfect
order lives would have been lost.
Soldiers with leveled weapons met
the convicts as they were marched
Tho Iaftar had haan warned that
the slightest belligerent move would
mean death.
Shoot them down in their tracks"
commanded the officers, "if they do not
keep In line"
The rifle barrels of the soldiers and
the swords of the officers glinting In
the freight effectually awed the pris-
oners, and they followed meekly their
heavily armed guards to the stOckade.
The prison building was valued at
100000. The blacksmith shop, tailor
shop, machine shop and other buildings
went first.
Ali this while the whole prison had
been surrounded by troops. When the
main building actually had begun to
burn the stern military rule was car
ried out with precision.
There are 800 prisoners in the lot. 1t
took the whole Thirteenth infantry,
under command of Col. r. H. r. Long
borough, to remove them. safely.
The sick were removed first. placed
in ambulances and taken to the Fort
Leavenworth hospital under guard of
cavalry. The records of the prison
were removed from the administration
building. Then the general order was
given for taking out all in the building.
Soon after the last convict and at
tendants had left the building and the
Gordon of soldiers had withdrawn to a
safe distance, the walls of one-half of
the prison fell in with a crash.
At 2 o'clock some of the cell houses
had been cooled sufficiently to allow
half of the 800 prisoners to return.
