tory and political science at Harvard,
died at q little past so. Let the i'm.
patient think Of the plodding prepara-
tion he gave himself for his university
work. Born in Troy in 1857. his youth
was spent in fitting himself for col
iege. He was graduated from VII.
liams in 1878. Until 1888 he studied
at the universities Of Leipsic, Goet-
tingen. Berlin and Paris. Until 1888
he worked and studied In England.
In that year he went to Harvard az
an instructor In history. He was still
studying to ut himself for his real
work. In 1901, eight years ago, he
was made professor of history, last
year taking the Gurney chair Of his
tory and political science. Fifty years
Of life; out Of this practically 80 In
study alone, 40 in study and other
preparation, for the professorships
which he finally reached with the rep
utation, after the death of Prof. Matt,
land, OF Cambridge university, Eng.
land, of being the leading authority
on the history Of English institutions
and on early constitutional history.

FOR FORD LANDS
Outside Man Says There Will be a
Rush for Land Along Eureka Can
al, When the Water Runs

When the water is turned into the
ditch across Ford county it is prob
able that people here will be greatly
surprised at the ease with which a
large number Of new settlers can be
secured. ALI Of the irrigation districts
in Colorado and other places west
have been thoroughly schooling the
people Of the central states on the
possibilities Of irrigation. The peo-
pie OF dozen different states have been
posting up on intensive farming, and
the kind Of farming that is sure, re
gardless Of the season. Further east
the farmers have two kinds Of wealth
er that may spoil the crops. Too
much rain or not enough rain will
lose the work Of a season for them.
Great numbers VI farmers have been
investigating irrigated lands. They
believe that is the one sure method Of
farming. Many Of them are now &C.
ing to the mountainous lands, where
irrigation is practised. They find
that the land is so sloping that it is
hard to handle. When they learn
thu. they can buy the kind Of land we
b.. in Ford county, under ditch,
they will pick it up pretty lively.
Rev Rist, Of Illinois, who has in.
vestments here has been in Dodge
City the past few days. he says the
people back in his country are great
ly interested in getting ditch land.
Many Of them are going farther west
to look ct the lands. "Whsn ever
you have the water running 10 that
ditch" Rev. Rist remarked yester-
day, "you can get q whole colony
from my county who will buy farms
and water rights" He stated furth
er that he would probably buy some
Of il himself. before he returned to
Illinois.

TWO MEN FATALLY CUT.
Serious ARRAY in Greenville's Red
Light District.

Greenville, Jan. 22.-Traced for
one mile from the County Court
House by streaks of blood on the
ground, two young white men, Will
Foster and Tom Scott, were found
to-day by the police near the Caro-
lima Mills, cut almost into mince
meat. From what could be learned
from the police it seems that in a
free-for-all fight in the red light dis
trict last night, Foster and Scott were
slashed many times by an unknown
man. They staggered uptown, and
great streaks of blood in front Of the
Court House led the officers to be-
lieve that a myterious murder had
been committed. They traced the
drops of blood from street to street
and located the men at the Carolina
Mills. They are both fatally cut.

be rescued. The staunch construc-
ton Of the dining car saved its occu-
pants. It followed the day coach to
the very brink of the river, but every
one on board escaped without seri-
GUS injury. The sleeper turned over
on it's side on the embankment.
There were only members Of the
train crew in the sleeper at the time
and they escaped with slight injuries.
Every man who was able to stand,
at once turned to the work of rescue.
Snow was piled upon the burning
second-class car and the train crew
and uninjured passengers did
some heroic work in trying to rescue
those pinned in the burning wreck
age. Physicians were hurried to the
scene from Sudbury as soon as word
was received and a wrecking train
with General Superintendent Gutlius
made record time from North Bay.
Arrangements were made to bring a
diver on a special train from Sault
Ste Marie to recover the bodies from
the submerged car and he is now at
the wreck with diving outfit. The
injured were taken to Sudbury Hos
pital.

Walsh Begins His Sentence.


Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 19.-On
an iron cot in a cell of the federal
prison John R. Walsh, 72 years old
who to-day began serving five year
sentence for misapplying the funds
of the Chicago National bank, spent
his first night in the penitentiary.
Walsh accepted his new situation
with smiling god grace. While talk
ing to-day with an old friend, Walsh
remarked:
81 don't believe I shall ever live
out my sentence if l am not par
doned."
The new surroundings did not
make Walsh, who is now known as
Convict No. $751;" nervous. He
sat calmly in his cell tonight and
read until the big gong sounded
lights out" at 9 o'clock. Then he
went to bed.
Walsh took his first meal in pris-
on tonight. 1t consisted of warm
biscuits, fried potatoes, onions and
black coffee. Walsh ate heartily.

Walsh Goes to Prison.

Chicago, January 1S.-John R.
Walsh, 72 years old, after winning
his way from newsboy to the control
of millions of dollars in banks, rail-
roads, newspapers and gold fields,
tonight left for the federal prison
at Leavenworth, Kan, to begin five
years sentence for misapplying the
funds of the Chicago National bank,
of which he was president at the
time of it's failure three years ago.
The start for prison followed de-
nial by the United States circuit
court of appeals of his petition for a
new trial on the ground of alleged
misconduct by the jurors who found
Walsh guilty.
The final chapter in the financier's
long fight against a prison term is
summarized as follows:
10 a. m.-Appeared at his Office
in the Grand Central station and
conducted business as if nothing of
unusual importance was pending.
11.4O a. m.-Summoned to hotel
where he heard over the telephone
that his petition for new trial was
denied.
4p. m.-Heard read the mandate
committing him to prison.
SIS p. m.-Bade his wife, daugh-
ter and intimate friends good bye
at his Calumet avenue home and
started for the station In an auto
mobile.
6 p. m.-Left on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul road for Leav-
enworth, where he is due tomorrow.
By a coincidence Walsh started to
prison exactly two years after he
was found guilty. 1t was on Janu-
ary IS, 1908, that a jury in Federal
Judge Anderson's court brought in
it's verdict.

Spartanburg, Jan. 19.-After Civ
ing married life less than a month S
trial, Mrs. Nogie James Burnett, wife
of Rev. George w. Burnett, Baptist
minister of Aberdeen, Miss, who, be-
fore her marriage was Miss Nogie

who has respect and sympathy of all
who know her."

was a widower with ten children at
the time of his marriage to Miss

cember 26, 1909. Yesterday Mrs.

gard to her asking for divorce, in
which she says her husband was
kind and loving, but that she was

wife.

RAILWAY WRECK in CANADA.
Part of Train Plunges Into Ice-Cov-
cred River.

cred River.
North Bay, Ont, January 21.-
Death in all it's most terrible forms
blotted out the lives of at least a
score and perhaps two score people
this afternoon, when four cars of a
Canadian Pacific passenger train on
the 500 branch leaped from the
tracks, and tearing down steep en-
bankment, plunged through the ice
covered surface of the Spanish River.
Some were drowned, others were
crushed to death in bridging timbers.
Most terrible of all, manned and in
jured, caught in the wreckage of one
of the cars, were burned to death.
The exact number of dead and in
jured was still unknown here at a
late hour tonight, as telegraphic
communication has not yet been es-
tablished with the scene OF the
wreck, but according to stories told
by injured passengers brought to
Sudbury, it was one of the worst ca
tastrophies in the history of Cana
dian railroads.
The train wrecked was known as
No. 7, en- route from Montreal to
Sault Sainte Marie and Milwaukee.
An official statement given out here
says that it probably was due to a
broken rail.
The engine, baggage, express, mail
and one second-cless car remained on
the rails, while one second-class, one
first-class, dining car and sleeper
and second-class car stopped on the
embankment, the second-class car
catching fire.
The wreck occurred about thirty
seven miles West of Sudbury where
the tracks cut into the side Of a steep
hill, which is skirted by the river.
The forward part of the train passed
over the break, whatever it was, safe
ly. The day coach, which was the
fourth from the end of the train was
the first to leave the rails. The train
was running At the rate of about
forty miles an hour and the momen-
tum carried the car down the hill in
terrific plunge. About twenty-five
passengers were in the car and it is
practically certain that none escaped.
Two minutes after the first crash
only the roof of the day coach show
ed above the floating ice in the
river. The second-class car, the next
in the train, smashed against the. end
of culvert, and was crushed like
an egg-shell. Some of the passen-
gers were killed outright, but others
caught in the wreckage which almost
Immediately broke into flames, were
roasted to death before they could
