murder of Frank Howl, descended upon
the Nelson county Jail here at 1 o'clock
this morning, stormed the building and
rescued the prisoner. 1t is supposed he

Grated
At that early hour of the morning
when the people of the county, seat were
asleep 75 armed men from the noun
tain section where the crime was COM
nitted proceeded to the county Jail.
Admission was gained and the guards
were awed into nonresiStance. The cell
where Moore was locked up soon was
found and he was released.
Precautions had been taken by the
mob to prevent an alarm. Almost as
quietly as they entered the town they
departed for the mountains. 1t was not
until some hours after the rescue that
the news spread and deputy sheriffs
were on their way into the mountains to
try to rearrest Moore. 1t is feared that
bloodshed will result from the attempt.
Moore was condemned to pay the
death penalty at Richmond November
Frank Howl in Nelson county last May.
Mountaineers, friends of Moore, be-
ieved him innocent. The only tele-
phone wire leading into the section of
the country where the crime was COM
mitted and where. Moore'S friends live,
was cut before the rescue. This leads
to the belief that Moore has been taken
there and liberated and any effort to
recapture him will be resisted.

the city, was killed and Frank Reeves.
another employee, was seriously injured
when a timber bridge at Twenty first
and Monroe streets collapsed late
Thursday afternoon. Bosworth was
guiding a timber into it's groove be-
meath the bridge when 1t fell He died
instantly. Reeves was near him and
received dangerous injuries on the head
and chest but it is thought he will re-
cover.
The bridge, an old wooden structure.
was being repaired by the county and
city. Two of the beams had been re-
placed and the third one was being
rushed into its groove before 5 o clock,
the workmen hoping to complete this
part of the work before quitting time.
While the timber was being guided into
its place by Bosworth the bridge col
lapsed without warning
J. C. Sinner county commissioner
who was standing near the structure at
the time of the accident. was bruised
about the body by flying timbers. His
bruises are not dangerous and he is
able to be around today.
The blame of the catastrophe cannot
be placed. The work was under the d.
rection of Commissioner Sinner for the
county and Frank Snyder, street com
missioner, for the city. Mr.. Sinner

MORE BAD MILK FOUND.
City Milk Inspector Finds Eleven Res
taurants Below Standard.

The milk sold by Topeka restaurants
is getting better. DR.. George S. Babb,
city milk inspector. has made the sec
ond rounds of the restaurants since the
first of September and he has found
that II of the 81 places Investigated had
poor milk for sale. This compares fav-
orably with the report of a few weeks
ago when it was found that So of the
60 inspected sold adulterated and skim
med milk
The names of the restaurants and the
score they made in this last inspection
will be made public in few days. DR..
Babb states that he wishes to give
everyone a fair chance and he will
make a second round before he infIicts
the punishment
1t is a noticeable fact that in the
last report seven of the restaurants
who had good milk for sale in Septem-
Der, were in the bad list this time.
Only one of the places which ranked
low in the early report landed in the
poor column at this last inspection.
One of the surprises of the last in
vestigatiOn was that the restaurant
that ranked third to highest in the
earlier report. ranked near the bottom
this time. This place was considered
one of the best in the city when first
inspected by DR.. Babb but the last test
showed that it had fallen far below
standard.

WERE TOO SLOW.
Western Union Sued for Delay
in Message.
Exemplary Damages OF 81, 500
Asked by TOpekan.

Damages to the amount of $500
are asked of the Western Union Tele-
graph company in a suit filed today in
the district court by John Russell, 321

company failed to deliver to him with
in a reasonable time a telegram tell
ing of the death of his brother, Chas.
Russell, in Mount Pleasant, Pa. This
is the first case of this kind to come
before the Shawnee court.
Because of the failure of the West
ern Union to transmit and deliver
the telegram promptly, John Russell
was unable to attend the funeral of
the brother, who was killed accident
ally, Sept IL. The message was sent
by John Coleman, friend of Charles
Russell, directly following the acct
dent. He urged that it be sent imme-
diately as it was of the utmost i'm
portance The message reached To-
1Neka at 1:16 o'clock that afternoon,
/ but was not delivered until at $3.50
o'clock the following morning.
Had the message been delivered
s within a reasonable time, Russell says
Mount Pleasant to see his brother and
attend the funeral. Russell is en-
ployed in the blacksmith shops of the
Santa Fe and sets forth that he had
been told by John Purcell, superinten-
dent of the shops, that he could have
Pennsylvania and return. He says
that by departing on the evening of
Sept. 70 on No. of the Santa Fe for
Chicago, he could have made connec-
lions there in time to reach Mount
Pleasant for the funeral, but on ac-
count of failing to get the MESA ge
was unable to find d route which
would carry him through earlier than
q day late.
September II fell on Monday. The
telegram read: Charles killed this
morning Funeral Wednesday. If
coming answer at once" John Russell
could not have reached Mount Pleas
ant earlier than Thursday, he sets
forth.
In asking exemplary damages of
$500, Russell cites that he had seen
his brother only once in % years. was
very fond of him, and that the two
had kept up a continual correspon-
6ence all those years.
