WALLACE. Ida, March 1.-At an
early hour today "a bodies had been

A serious disaster was narrowly
averted at Mullen late last night.
Many refugees had been taken to the
opera house for shelter from the
blizzard which had ragged for "a hours.
While they we're being placed in the
building, the roof timbers gave way
and the entire structure started to
collapse The roof gave way slowly
and all inside managed to escape be-
fore the total collapse came.
The first slide which almost wiped
out the town OF Mace, occurred at
10:45 Sunday night, while all except
the men on the night shift in the
mines were sleeping. The Iurke ava
lanche occurred at $50 Monday morn
ing. That no more lives were lost
in Burke is due to Seaman S. Rowe,
foreman of the Hecla mine. Realizing
the danger that threatened the sleep

Burke to arouse the inhabitants and

/ Four of those who lost their lives

party that had been at work at night
at Mace. They We're:

GOTCH DEFEATS
SCOTCH WRESTLER
Had No Trouble in Pinning Jimmy
Esson's Shoulders to the
Canvas Mat.

CHICAGO, March Worlds Cham
pion Frank Gotch had little trouble In
quenching Jimmy Essons aspirations
for the title in their bout at the Coli
scum here last night taking the first
fall with his deadly toe hold in 11:25,
and the second with a chancery and
crotch hold in 1928
1t was merely case of Jimmy find
out he didn't want what he wanted.
The, Sect has waited for two months
for the1 chance to demonstrate What
he doesn't happen to Lave and Gotch
was the ready aid in the demonstra-
tion.
A large number of disappointed
Scotchmen helped swell the crowd,
which filled the Coliseum, and many
of them lost their good money, some
on betting their countryman would
stay a long time with the champion
and others who wagered he would
win.
The bout was made longer than
would have been the case ordinarily
by Esson's prodgious strength, which
enabled him to break the holds Sc.
cured by the king-pin. The toe hold
was broken early in the game, Esson
getting away from It two or three
times, but Gotch finally landed it fail
and the Draw Scot went under.
Esson was outclassed in every de
tail, according to the sentiments o.
the great majority of the spectators
and was not compelled to work near
4 ly so long and SO hard as had beer
expected. Esson had hoped to put
over something with his extra
strength and weight, but once more
the science of the champion provet
too much for his opponent.

Freight Trains Dash Past cliffwood,
Mo-, These Days With Reck-
less Speed and Flirting
Stops.
BRAKEMAN WAS SHOT
Women of the Town no Longer Enter,
tain the Trainmen Who Once
Had Such Lovely
Times.

JOPLIN, Mo-, March 1.-When a
strange brakeman approached her
door and exclaimed, Hello, kid, where
you been all this long time?" Mrs.
Sarah Vanderpool, living at Cliffwood,
Mo-, a lonely mining camp, eighteen
miles north of Joplin. explained he
must be mistaken. However,, when
the brakeman insisted he was not mis-
taken, but was positive, Mrs. Van.
derpool was his own little "dovey,"
Mrs. Vanderpool, who is young and
pretty, secured revolver and shot
the brakeman in the abdomen.
The trouble. which was the cul-
mination of a long series of Incidents
occurred February %, but due to the
remoteness of the camp and the eff
forts of railroaders to keep the affair
hushed, news of the occurrence did
not become current until today.
Brakemen on the Carthage-Pittsburg
spur of the Missouri Pacific are said
to have enjoyed themselves immense
/ ly flirting with pretty women of Cliff
wood.
Mrs vanderpool moved to Cliffwood
five years ago, occupying a house,
she claims. which ',rmer :. was the
| home of two women who were on
friendly terms with the train crews.
Her husband, Corbin Vanderpool
instructed her to "call down" any one
who attempted to get fresh He'
first attempt at calling down wasSs.e

with the passage of love missives
back and forth. After a while the
trains, it is claimed, would stop fol
i long periods at time on the remote
and little used spur, and many OF thu
brakemen are said to have received

Roosevelt's Hunting Trip Is at an
End and He Has Broken all the
Records for Shooting
in Africa.
SPECIMENS FOR THE U. S.
Five Hundred Of the Larger Animals
Were Killed Besides Many
Thousand Birds and Small
Mammals.

GONDOKORO, Soudan, March L.
Colonel Roosevelt and the members of
his immediate party sailed on the
steamer Dial for Khartum, where they
expect to arrive March 10. With the
departure the African scientific expedi
tion under the auspices of the Smith
sonian institution OF Washington, ID.
c., and led by the former president of
the United States was, for all practical
purposes, brought to close.
Colonel Roosevelt considers that the
killing of the giant Glands in his re-
cent excursion along the upper
reaches of the Nile was a fitting end
ing OF a marvelously successful trip.
The results generally, from the stand
point of the hunter and the scientist,
have exceeded all expectations.
The former president and his son,
Kermit, have killed some 500 speci-
mems Of large mammals. The bag in
cludes seventeen lions, eleven ele-
plants, ten buffaloes, ten black rhinoc-
crosses, nine white rhinoceroses, nine
hippopotami, nine giraffes, three leop
ards, seven chetahs, three giant Glands
three sables, one sitatunga and two
bongos.
| All the specimens were killed in the
interest Of science and the specimens

Harrison started IN the balloon New
York on trip which they hope will
result in breaking all records for

Conditions were ideal. The wind
was blowing gently from the south at
the rate of from fifteen to twenty
miles an hour. and as the balloon
sailed gracefully over the heads of the
crowd it was headed northwest and
without mishap, the indications are
favorable for a long fight. The bal
