Mining Plant Destroyed,

The plant of the King Jack
Mining Company, in the Miami
camp, was totally destroyed last
Saturday night about II o'clock
when one of the big boilers be-
came overheated and blew up.
Fortunately no one was very
badly injured, but the entire com
munity around that section was
very badly scared. The mill
was blown all to pieces, nothing
worth while being left. The
boiler was 100 horse power, and
was carrying a heavy head Of
steam when the explosion oc'
CURED.
The King Jack mine is owned
by Webb City parties, and the
first lease is owned by Miami
people. The, mill will be re
built, forth King Jack is ont
of the very best mines in thu
country.

to a stay of ninety days in jail
would be satisfaction enough for
outraged law and Justice.
So for ninety days the parsons
congregation will be compelled
to wear sack cloth and ashes,
and the parson will have an OPP
portunity to mediate upon that
old and trite saying, the way of
the transgressor is hard"
The parson is now sojourning
| in the county hotel.
Later-We understand the par.
! son has been paroled, and the
fact that he has returned to this
city has caused a whole lot of in
dignation among the better class
of people here. Just why a man
! should be paroled after he has
pleaded guilty, and after the
officers have tried for years to
land him, is more than the gem
eral public is able to understand.
We are inclined to the opinion
THAT the court acted a little hast
1 lily in the matter, and that If he
had investigated q little the pa
role would not have been granted.
The parson is just a little the
smoothest article that ever per.
ambulated down the pike, and
he just outtalked the court, is
about the size of it.
The parson preached in Fort
IScott last Sunday, just as it
the matter of helping himself to
other peoples property did not
| amount to anything. Oh, the
parson is smooth, all right.
