Fort Monroe, Va Especially -
Eleven men of the Coast Artillery
are dead as the result of the blowing
out of a breech block in one of the
big guns while the fort was engaged
in target practice. A half dozen
others are in the post hospital, one
OF whom may die.
The exact of the explosion is not
yet definitely determined, although a
board of inquiry was appointed i'm
mediately after the disaster by or
ders from the War Department in
Washington.
The toll of death, it is believed,
would have been larger had it not
been for the heroism displayed both
by the officers and men in the bat
terry. The wounded forgot their
hurts and aided the uninjured in
stamping out the burning powder
that threatened the sacks in which
the charge for second shot had
been brought up.
The explosion took place in Bat
terry De Russey, No. gun doing the
damage. The gun was in charge of
Capt. James Prentice, who had with
him Lieuts. George P. Rawes, Jr.,
and George L. Van Deusen. Lieuten-
ant Halves had gone forward from
the breech to examine the range
wheel when the charge was exploded.
He was thrown down and momentari-
,ly stunned, but otherwise unin-
jured.
Eight men were killed outright,
their bodies lying scattered around
the emplacement Under the pail
the wounded writhed and moaned.
Captain Prentice and Lieutenant
Halves foresaw further sacrifice
of life if the other charges caught
from the smoldering sparks and the
two sent out call for surgeons.
while they attacked the flames with
their bare hands.
Captain Prentice reached the en-
placement first. and before looking
into the extent of the damage he
pushed his way through the smoke
and sparks and carried out bag of
powder. He then was joined by
Halves, and the two completed the
task of averting further explosion.
During this time Lieutenant Van
Deusen lay crumpled beneath the
gun, his leg broken in two places.
He was suffering agonies, but when
him he would not permit them to
touch him.
"See to the men first" he order
ed, and, propped against the gun
carriage, he aided in directing the
work of the rescue party and the
surgeons.
Col. C. P. Townsely, commandant
of the fort, promptly ordered an in
vestigation. While no decision had
yet been reached. Colonel Townsley
advanced his theory of the disaster

explosion occurred during the inser-

intended to make premature dis,
charge impossible. Just how they
failed to operate probably never will

Ridgeway, Va. Especially Former
Mayor A. H. Bousman was assassi-
mated with dynamite bomb which
was thrown from the street into a
hammock in which he was lying.
He died an hour after the explosion
No clue to the identity of the MUIR
derer or the cause of the crime has
been found. Mr.. Bousman had been
spending the hot evening sleeping
in a hammock swung between two
trees on the lawn in front of his
residence. Without a word OF
warning, about 10 o'clock, the dyna-
mite bomb was thrown by someone
passing along the street. 1t landed
In the hammock at his feet and in
an instant exploded. The mayor s
feet We're torn away by the bursting
shell, and his legs frightfully mu-
tilated. In great agony he died an
hour later.
Although the town authorities
when notified of the murder made
every effort to discover the assassin,
no clue could be found, and it is be-
lieved he escaped without being seen
by any one. The pews quickly
spread about town and excitement
grew to high pitch. 1t is believed
if the perpetrator of the assassina-
ton is caught he will be summarily
dealt with.
When Mayor of Ridgeway Mr.
Bousman, presided over the notice
court of the town, trying petty
cases. 1t is thought that some per-
son upon whom Bousman in his court
had passed sentence of punishment
held grudge against him and had
been awaiting an opportunity to
wreak vengeance on him. This OPP
portunity came when the mayor Law
sleeping in the open air
The terrific report attracted many
persons to the scene, but the excite
ment was SO great that apparently
no one thought to search for the
assassin until he had made his escape
undetected.
The charge of dynamite in the
bomb must have been a heavy one,
because the body of Mr. Bousman
was torn to pieces. As part of the
fuse of the bomb was found on the
roof of the Bousman residence,
where it had been blown by the
force of the explosion. On the sides
of houses 60 feet away blood had
been spattered and bits of flesh adj
hered to the walls. Bits of the body
also were found on the roof of an
adjoining house.
The assassinated man was 55
years Of age. He is survived by a
wife and son, IL years old, both of
whom are Frustrated by the murder.
Mr.. Bousman only recently retired
from the Office of mayor. He had
been offered the nomination, but de-
clined to accept the honor. He was
extensively en~aeed in farming and
was a large grower of cabbage.

Louisville, KY. Especially August
Ropke, assistant secretary and book
keeper of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany. one of the soundest financial
institutions in Louisville, is believed
to have made away with $1,140,000,
the entire surplus of the concern,
according to a statement made by
John w. Barr, president of the trust
company. Ropke is in the county
jail, where he has been for 10 days,
unable to furnish bail in the sum
speculator and lost large sums, 1t is
said, In Wall Street and the Chicago
Board of Trade.
Mr.. Bars announcement was
made after a special meeting of the
stockholders. Mr.. Barr said that
the stockholders were told that the
capital stock of the concern was in
tact, but that the entire surplus was
gone as result Of the defalcations.
The loss will be met by an increase
of stock, as announced several days
ago, aggregating $1,000,000, which
will be issued to stockholders at par.
The Fidelity Trust Company rep
resents the wealth of Louisville, but
there is apprehension in financial
circles over the outcome of the
shortage The stockholders have
agreed, it is understood, to sub
scribe the full amount of the new
issue.
August Ropke is German, about
As years old He lived unostenta-
tiously, but began dabbling in stocks
and grain several years ago. He was
successful for a time. but the in
evitable losses followed. Ropke has
been in the employ of the bank for
10 years, and it is understood the in
vestigation into his books will cover
the entire period
Ropke, because of his splendid
work on the books and his shrewd-
ness in handling deals for the bank,
gained the confidence of the officials
years ago.
About two weeks ago shortage of
$4,000 was accidently discovered by
one of Ropke's assistants and the
matter reported to his superiors.
This resulted in Ropke's arrest and
his incarceration on the charge of
embezzlement. He was sent to jail
in default of $4,000 bail and firm
of Chicago experts put to work on
his books. The shortage grew daily
until it reached the stupendous
amount just reported. Some of
Ropke's property has been recovered
and turned over to the bank.
