Denver Times: The regeneration of
the Lincoln team has been the most
Sensational feature of the closing days
of the Western League season. By beat
ing and shutting out Des Moines in the
first game of double header the
Grcenbackers made it six successive
shutouts and thus tied a worlds rec
ord made by Pittsburg in the early
part of the 1908 season. The Lincoln
pitchers in the six games held the op-
losing willow artists to. four hits
game. Ten straight victories, with
seven Of them shutouts is something
which does not often occur in the
Western League. or any other league,
for that matter. If the Greenbackers
had fixed up the team a little earlier
in the season and hit their present win
ming streak before the frost descended
on the pumpkins they would be march
ing in advance of all the clubs of the
circuit.

FORT LEAvENW0R1H
PRISON prey TO FLAMES
The Soldiers Safely Remove
All The Conv.cts.
Military Discipline Prevents Break
For Liberty And Quicts Panic
Prisoners Are Marched Out

Leavenworth. Kan. Especially -
The military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth was destroyed by fire. The
prisoners were removed from .he cell
houses under a heavy guard of Uni.
ted States troops and confined in D
stockade.
None of the prisoners escaped 50
far as a hasty resume of the situa-
ton showed.
Owing to the low water pressure
the fire department of the fort was
almost useless. The fire was fought
by the soldiers of the fort, who were
ordered out of their quarters.
Two soldiers were injured while
fighting the flames, but none of the
prisoners were hurt.
Much excitement attended the re-
moval of the prisoners, many of
whom are desperate characters. 1t
was feared that they would make
an organized break for liberty.
The fire broke out in the tailor
shop and soon Is was seen that the
main building was doomed, A great
Outcry at once broke out in the
prison. the convicts fearing they
would be burned to death. They
battered on the doors of their cells
as the light of the fire streamed
in through the windows. Many
screamed in terror as the authorities,
for the moment. refused to remove
them.
Soon, however, several companies
Of soldiers, including cavalrymen, had
got under arms.
A strong Gordon of troops was
thrown ahout the nrisOn and every
precaution taken to prevent escapes
When the bolts of the cell house
doors were shot back the flames had
reached the main building. If ev-
erything had not been done in per-
feet order lives doubtless would have
been lost. As II was, strict military
discipline prevailed.
Soldiers with leveled weapons
greeted the convicts as they were
marched out, They had been pre-
viously warned that the slightest bell
ligerent move would mean death
The rife barrels of the soldiers
and the swords of the officers CLINT
ing in the air and the knowledge
that United States soldiers were deal
ing with them effectually cowed the
$50 prisoners, and they meekly fol-
lowed their heavily armed guP~ds to
the stockade
The prison building was valued at
100000. 1t was destroyed. The
Leavenworth fire department was
rushed out to the fort on hurried
call for help.
II combined forces with the forts
frefghters. Lack of water pressure,
however, rendered the efforts almost
useless.

Life Insurance Company, 1t was an
nounced, will. on May 81, discharge
1000 of its agents in various parts
of the country. The dismissal order,
which will affect agents who devote
only a part of their time to the

the decision rendered by Supreme
Court Justice O'Gorman, upholding
the constitutionality of that section
of the insurance law which limits
new business to be written by any
company in any calendar year to
81 80, 100000. Justice O'Gorman S
decision forbade the company from
issuing $4,000 policy on the

down to 1000.
