OFFICERS BAR
LABOR ORGAN
INDUSTRIAL WORKER SEIZED
IN SPOKANE
Two of Editors Are Breaking Rock
on the Chain Gang and More
Trouble Seems to Be
Imminent

SPOKANE. Dec. 11.-Charging that
it was a libelous publication, the city
authorities seized every copy or the
Industrial Worker, the organ of the
Industrial Workers of the World, as II
came off the press this morning.
An order of court will be asked Tor,
forbiddng further issue of the paper
unless the copy is inspected by par
ties authorized by the court before
ii goes to press.
The Industrial Worker has had a
stormy existence for several weeks.
At least two of its successive editors
are now breaking rock, serving out
sentences for criminal conspiracy, i'm
having urged members of their order
to break the city ordinance regulating
street speaking, and calling for volun-
teers to "fill the jails.''
The number seized today contains ar
ticles signed by Reserve Editor $780,
and "Reserve Editor 1000." with APP
peals to remember that 1.-The employ
ing class and the working class have
nothing in common" and help to de-
fend men who flight for the grand
principle of one revolutionary union of
the workers"
The leading article, which is classed
by the officers as libelous, is by Eliza
beth Gurley Flynn, a young woman
convicted this week of conspiracy. In
this she relates her alleged experiences
in the county Jail.

AFRICANS AMUSED
AT REPORTS ABOUT
ROOSEVELT'S LUCK
Unusual Conquests in Interest OF Sci
ence Scarcely Regarded, but COM
mon Escapes from Death
Are Doubted

NAIROBI, British East Africa, Oct.
29.-The reading public here has found
vast amusement in press clippings from
America dealing with the game
killing experiences of Colonel Roose-
velt
While recognizing the prowess Of the
former president, they are somewhat
amazed at the effect of his achieve
ments on the minds of his countrymen,
particularly at the incredulity exhibit
ed in some instances toward very
ordinary happenings and the trusting
faith in other cases, with which some
really outrageous yarns are accepted.
They receive with skepticism the
fact, for example, that Colonel Roose-
welt had been charged by twelve
hippopotami in Lake Naivaha, killing
a few and escaping scot free, and yet
take readily to stories of the bagging
of strange birds and mammals which
have hitherto triumphantly lodged
geological classification.
Without detracting from the glory of
the hunter, East African residents do
not look with q great deal of interest
upon the mere Staying Of lions and such
small fry. They do not even use this
sort of a thing as a topic of conversa-
ton while the weather shows any in
teresting phases.
Nairobi has been scarcely stirred for
the last week or so by news that men
walking to their homes after dining ont
have almost stumbled over a full
grown lion which has been so frequent
ly seen about streets that he has prac-
tically assumed the position of a
municipal pet and has killed zebras
within the precincts of the township.
Hears Lion Grunt
Late Sunday night Mr.. Cunningham,
while walking in the suburbs, heard
a lion grunting less than 100 yards
away. Being armed only with a stick
he did not stop to investigate. The
principal medical officers here and 9TH
ers have had similar experiences.
One enterprising storekeeper has a
year-old lioness in a cage on a ver-
anda in Nairobrs high street. The in
ventive genius of the pseudo scient SITS
has risen to dizzy heights in supplying
the Smithsonian institution with crea-
lures never found on land or sea.
They have originated the kirkak-bik,
the exact nature of which is yelled in
some obscurity. the kirumbo bird,
which has pair of loral plumes and
is glossy green above, with metallic
reflections, and the guyastuous, which
is white, spotted plentifully with green.
1t is suggested here that a safe plan
previous to the acceptance in the
United States of any rumor of any
thing novel and unknown in the way
of beast or bird would be search for
an affidavit attached to the pelt.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 1.-THE
statement today of Mrs. Maggie Hun
ter, who was attacked and left for dead
yesterday at the same time that Mrs.
Eliza Gribble and her daughter, Mrs.
Carrie Ohlander, were killed, that it
was her husband, j. c. Hunter, who
attacked her, today led the police to
re-arrest Hunter, and he is being held
under strong guard.
Although hundreds of armed men as
sisted the police last night in the
search for the negro at first believed
to have been the murderer, no violence
was shown to but one suspect, a white
man.
Throughout the man hunt, which
lasted all night, intense excitement pre-
vailed. So frenzied did the searchers
become after learning that Mrs. OH
lander had been Criminally assaulted
that a white man who by accident had
scratched his face came near being
torn to pieces when the crowd saw the
blood.
Fences were torn down and doors
broken in. Every obstruction in the
path of the crowd that would have
afforded a probable hiding place for
the fugitive was levelled.
years old and slender of build. Vir-
tually every negro who answers this
description had been sent to Jail dur
ing the night on suspicion.
Several Saw Negro
Several persons have said they saw
such a negro entering and afterward
leaving the Gribble home about the
time the murders are supposed to have
been committed.
All of the victims had been cut or
stabbed with knife and then thei:
heads crushed with some blunt instru-
ment, presumably an ak.
Mrs. Hunter, despite her frightful in
juries, is thought to have chance for
recovery.
Mrs. Hunter only survivor of the
three women attacked in their homes,
made the statements in her delirium
today that caused the re-arrest of her
husband.
Physicians and nurses who have
hoped to catch a word leading to d
clew to the person who murdered Mrs,
Eliza Gribble and her daughter, Mrs.
Carrie Ohlander heard Mrs. Hunter
say her husband had struck her. The
police were Immediately notified and
Hunter was taken in charge.
Despite the injured woman's deliri-
GUS talk, few believe any one is guilty
of the crime except the negro. now
missing, who was seen to enter the
house about the time of the murders
with an AK in his hand. Rewards of
$1,000 have been offered for the negro $
capture.

WI ITH smile on his lips and a
wv drink to his own health in a
glass of pure N'ater Ernest
Bossu fell over in his last sleep at the
Plaza fountain on his birthday yes
terday afternoon. Death came to the
old man hardly a second after he had
praised his temperate habits as the
cause of his good health.
II will drink to my own health with
a cup of cold water. This is my sixty
fifth birthday and 1 owe my good
health to plenty Of water" said the
gray-haired man as he walked up to
the little fountain at the Plaza ana
raised the brimrning cup to his lips.
The words of the man We're heard by
several about the fountain and they
were struck dumb with horror as before
the brimming cup reached the lips of
the drinker they saw the cup drop
from his hand, saw him clutch fran
tically at his breast and fall to the
pavement unconscious.
Hurriedly the men standing by called
to a police officer and the receiving

hospital was notified and an ambu-
lance hurried to the scene.
1t was no use. Bossu had celebrated
his last birthday, and his unconscious
body and the cup lying close to the
splash of water on the pavement near
the fountain were mute evidences of
his last endeavor to celebrate his birth
day in his own way.
He was placed in the ambulance and
started for the receiving hospital, but
died before the wagon reached the
central station.
Even yet the police have been un-
able to locate the home of this man
who died as he tried to drink his last
birthday toast. With the exception
of a notebook containing the name and
age of the dead man, there was Moth
ing on his person that would indicate
his occupation or the location Of his
home. The body was taken to the
undertaking establishment of Pierce
Bros, where the coroner will make an
investigation ApopleXy or heart dis
ease is believed to have caused his
death.
1t was a lonesome passing and a
strange ending for a birthday toast.
