roe, which was gay with anticipa-
ton oyer an unusual military spec
tacle, Is enshrouded in the deepest
gloom. Col. Townsley informed the
relatives of the eleven men who were
killed by the premature explosion OF
the big 12-inch gun in Battery De
Russy that he will await their replies
regarding the burial of the men.
The bodies will be shipped at the
expense of the government to the
homes if it is desired. Otherwise they
will be buried at the military m
terry neal by.
Despite the horror of the accident,
several officers and men who were in
the battery at the time of the explo-
sion are receiving congratulations for
the heroism they displayed in going
to the rescue of the injured men, al
though they themselves were hurt,
and in preventing the ignition of a
charge of powder, which was near the
gun awaiting another shot.
AS a result of the catastrophe,
which is ascribed by ordnance experts
t GA defect in the safety device of the
firing mechanism, designed to prevent
the discharge of the gun until it is
raised above the parapet, an investi-
cation Of this device on all guns on
the coast artillery Notifications prob
ably will be made. In no other way
can the accident be explained.

400 WILL ASK FOR PAROLE
Under New Law, Federal Prisons May
Soon Disgorge Many Bank
Wreckers and Others.

Leavenworth, Kas.-At the first
sitting of the parole board Gre
ated by the new federal parole law, to
be held at the United States peniten-
tiary In September, it is expected
more than 400 applications for paroles
will be made. 1t is said that in the
three United States prisons-here, at
Atlanta and at McNeil's Island, Wash.
there are 1900 prisoners eligible to
parole.
Frank Bigelowy the Milwaukee bank
wrecker, will be one of the first pris-
oners eligible under the provisions of
the parole law. John R. Walsh Of
Chicago will have to wait IS months.
About one-fourth of the 3S bankers, all
of whom are wise enough to obey the
rules and keep clean prison records,
can come up for parole at once. In
time, all can apply.

Napoleon 3. Broward.

shipped on a lumber-laden schooner
bound for Boston. There he was paid
off and landed In the dead Of winter.
He had never seen a snowstorm be-.
fore, he was thinly clad and suffered
terribly from the cold. An attack OF
%whooping cough laid him up and took
all his money. Nevertheless as soon
as he could crawl out he shipped on
n of the winter fishing fleet bound,
for the Grand Banks. He endured
hardships without complaining, did hlss
work with a smile, and thus won the
friendship Of the men Of the sea. Fol-
lowing his work on the Banks heI
worked his way back to Florida as a
sailor. Next we see him as a roust-
about on a steamer on the st. John'sl
river. He saved his money, bought a
part interest in a steamboat and struck
out for himself. His splendid f1ghtingt
abilities we're winning him notice. the
while his kindly disposition was VIM
ming him friends. He was elected
sheriff of Duval county, a position hes
held nine years, and in which he made
a record which attracted attention top
him from all parts Of the state.
The exploit which made Broward fa-.
nous throughout the United States
and Cuba vas his ability as a block
ade runner to Cuba, during the time
the insurgents were fighting the Span.
iards there before the Spanish-Ameri-
war. In company with his brother
and a third partner Broward built al
stout, seagoing tug for salvage and
wrecktng work off the Florida coast.
He was approached by Cuban agents.
and asked to run guns and munitions
into Cuba. The work was hazardous
in the extreme, but the pay was COM
mensurate with the risk and BrowardL
became a ilibuster. In all he made
eight trips from the Florida keys to-
Cuba and his p%erilous adventures and
narrow escapes would make a novel
In themselves. He was chased byt
Spanish gunboats, fought with sew
eral Of them and escaped capture and
death by q hairs breadth scores of
times.

Bolton, Tex.-Henry Gentry, a ne

enter the room of a white woman at
Bolton and later killed Constable
James Mitchell, who tried to arrest
him, was burned at the stake by a
mob.
About 2 o'clock in the morning Cen
Try attempted to get into the home of
Mrs. Lamb of this city, a widow, liv-
ing alone with her daughter. The
daughter saw the negro and fired at
him. The negro fed and Constable
Mitchell was telephoned for. He
found a hat and a pair of shoes near
a window where the negro had been
seen.
Constable Mitchell returned home.
got b~loodhounds and returned to the
scene. The negro had returned with
a shotgun. AS Mitchell neared the
place the negro shot him in the back
from behind a tree. He fell from his
horse, but lived long enough to tell
the name of the murderer.
Citizens we're soon on the hunt, and
by 8 o'clock 500 persons were here
from all sections. Posses were formed
and spread over the country in every
direction. Gentry was found hiding
in tall weeds in a cornield, -four
miles from Bolton.
He refused to surrender. Two bull
lets from the officers revolvers
brought him down. The crowd threw
ropes about his reck and dragged
him to an open space. Then he was
brought to Bolton, another rope
thrown around his neck and he was
dragged nude around the public
square with a horse in a gallop.
Wood and coal oil were set ablaze
and the body burned in front of the
courthouse amid yells.

ease. While holding out no hope for
the boys recovery, the physicians be-

Former Deck Hand Going to-

Napoleon 5onapsrte 5rcward Of FiorI+
da Who Has Been a Roustabout,
Sailor, FIllbuster and Gov
ernor, a Fighter.

Jacksonville, Fla.-One of the most
picturesque figures in the southland
and q man the story Of whose life
reads like O novel is Napoleon Bona
parte Broward, ex-governor of Florida
who recently defeated United States
Senator Taliaferro In the senatorial
primaries held In Florida.
MI. Broward's is a brilliant example
Of achievement rarely equaled even
in this day Of self-made men. He was
born in abject poverty, his parents be-
ing ignorant FLORIDA crackers" and
his schooling was practically nil, yet
he rose to the highest Office in the
commonwealth and now he is about to-
enter the United States senate. He isl
q big man, mentally and PHYSICALLY
and his honesty and integrity have
never been questioned. He won suc1
cess in politics, as he did in civil lifet
by sheer bulldog courage and perth
nacity and by keeping his word. He
stands six feet In height, weighs more
than 200 pounds and is born fighter.
Ex-Governor Broward first attracted
political notice by his project to re-
claim the Everglades of Florida and
making them into farming lands. It
was this issue which carried him into
the Office of governor. He has, too.
demonstrated that his scheme is feas-
ible by converting part of the Ever
glades into productive farms, and this
made him immensely popular.
The father Of the future senator
lived in a log house on the st. Johns
river and eked out a bare living for
his wife and children. Broward'sI
parents died when he was in his early
teens. When he was under 20 he,

spARRows INVADE FIELDS.
Millions Of Bird Pests Threaten De-
~struction to Crops.

Exeter.-What is claimed by the
farmers of Barry county as being the
worst pest that ever invaded the
small grain fields of southwest Mis-
souri, is the English sparrow.
Not until this year has the sparrow
caused so much damage to the grain
crops of the southwest, as heretofore
they have confined their operations
near the towns and multiplied there,
until now the whole country seems
alive with untold millions of the little
pests. In some localities wheat fields
we're badly damaged by the sparrows
long before the grain was ready to
harvest.
The situation is no longer a joke,
but a serious problem, and something
must be done to protect the small
