FRQ].I SACRIFICE
Religious f. tics Were About to
Butcher Her Because the End
Of the World Was
Coming.
JUST IN NICK OF TIME
Sheriff and Posse Arrived Just As
the Knife Was About to
Stab the Victim to
Death.

ALINE, Okla, May 19.-Jane War
field, sixteen-year-old girl, was res
cued from band of religious fanatics
twenty-five miles southwest Of Allne
when she was about to be offered up
as sacrifice to make blood atone
ment that the sins of tie world might
be forgiven.
The sheriff of Dewey county had
been informed that the band of relig-
ious enthusiasts known as the Select
Followers had given out that their
leader, Henry Heinman, had received
revelation from God that the world
was to end and the heavens would
be rolled up like a scroll following the
contact with the tail of the comet;
tnat the only thing that would avert
the disaster was a. blood sacrifice; that
in order to save the world sacrifice
had been planned and the lot had fall
len to Jane Warfield.
/ Sheriff Hughes lad kept trace of
/ their movements closely and finally
! determined that he should be on the
4 scene. With posse of six men he
reached the dell in the Glass noun
tains just as the sacrifice was being
prepared, and only in time to rescue
the young woman who was to be Of
fered to save the world.
The Warfield girl was clad in spot
4 less white, with wreath of white
roses about her head. Her hands were
bound and Heinman was standing in
front of her with a long, keen Hunting
/ knife in his hand. Heinman and his
leaders were arrested. About him were
/ groups OF his followers, about forty in
( all.
fhe Select Followers believe that
i sin has passed from them and that
! they can handle serpents and drink
/ poison without evil effect. For some
time Heinman has been telling them
in his sermons that. the world would
end on the eighteenth day of May
and that the comet now in the sky
would sweep with pestilential gases
across the earth. eliminating all ami
NAL life.
Heinman is religious fanatic and
the girl who was to be offered as a
1 sacrifice is his stepdaughter. He gave
out that he had received revelation
\ that he was to sacrifice the giSl, and
thus avert the impending world calam
ity. Sheriff Hughes placed the girl
in the hands of safe parties and Helm
man will be .eld to await the action

Dora Blumenthal is the child for

Mrs. Blumenthal wanted to give her

Explosion Of Dynamite at Barracks
Resulted in Wholesale Loss Of
Life Among the Rurale
Guards.
Uprising Of Negroes is Said to Be
Back Of It, But the Author
tiles Believe It Was
Fate.

HAVANA, May 19.-Tk barracks
of the Rural Guards at Pinar del Rio
was blow up at 8 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and 100 persons were killed.
Owing to the race disturbances the
dynamite being Used on the various
public works in that section had been
collected and stored in the barracks,
the quantity there being 1900 rounds
Orders had been given for the re-
moval of the dynamite to the regular
powder magazines, and the govern
ment reports state that the explosion
occurred while this was being done.
However, this was the day fixed by
the negro conspirators for an uprising
the earths entering the tail of Hal
ley's comet to be the signal and
many entertained the belief that the
explosion was the first overture of
the revolutionists.
Several special trains carrying
troops have been rushed from Havana
to Pinar del RIO. Gen Monteaguda,
commander of the Rurales, and sew
eral officials accompanied the troops.
The barracks in which were quar-
tered the Rurales, number of public
works employees and officers families,
was completely destroyed. Command
er Ravena, with all his family, and
other families are among the killed.
A corporal of l.uralc.s is the only sur

Many buildings in the vicinity of
the barracks were wrecked. There is

The streets of Pinar del Rio, where
160 persons We're killed and five times
! that number were killed by the ex-
plosion, are filled with frightened
people. They believe the comet had
something to do with the explosion
and all efforts to- bring them out
of their panic-stricken state prove fu
tile.
! The work of exhuming the dead was
commenced today. Pieces of mutil
ated flesh and bone are scattered
over mile square. some OF them not
large enough to tell whether they are
human or portions of the mules and
horses also killed in the explosion
Many were buried for hours under the
debris and dug out still alive and hur

In the building adjacent were quar-
tered the Rurale guard officers ant
their families. How manv of these
were killed cannot be told. as the

After making an examination of the
vicinity Gen. Montagodo expressed
the belief that the explosion resulted
from the careless handling of the box
