Los Angeles. April 2S.-With all
the alleged details furnished by Ortie
NcManigal in his confession of yes
terday, District Attorney Fredericks
today, began preparing the states
case against John J. and James Nc
Namara on charges of dynamiting the
plant OF the Los Angeles Times, last
October. Two stenographers under
Ffederickg personal direction, today
made five copies of the confession in
which McManigal alleged that 6s
dynamiting jobs. involving property
damage of $4,000, 200, had been per-
petrated since 1909.
McManigal declared that James
McNamara alone dynamited the Los
Angeles Times building and that the
were not in Los Angeles at the timo
having acted only as accomplices in
securing the necessary dynamite from
the Giant Powder Works. McManigal
declared that James Mcnamara was
actually on a train four hours out to-
wards San Francisco when the Times
explosion occurred but that this re-
moteness from the scene was made
possible by the clockwork apparatus
attached TO the bombs used.
McManigal asserted that John j.
Mcnamara was the guiding spirit of
all the dynamiting and was also the
official paymaster. John Mcnamara
knew the value of the timeclock dy-
nar1itfng plan and urged the use Of
this device on all occasions, accord
ing to the confession.
McManigal declared John always
pointed out that only in this way
could the dynamiters prove an alibi.
McAfanigaI asserted further that he
always got $500 in advance of each
explosion and more later, sometimes
bringing the total payments for a
sfrgIe explosion up tc $1,000
McManigal tTas cool Throughout
his whole statement Today. he ask
cd the authorities not to permit any
labor leaders to see him.
Rumors were current, today, that

Labor union leaders declare Nc

with many grains of salt and that it

TOWNS VANISH FROM THE MAP
More Than 500 in the State of Me-
braska Have Disappeared in
Twenty Years.

Omaha. Neb.-More than GOO towns
have disappeared from the map of
Nebraska within the past 20 years
The majority of these were founded in
the great boom days of the west and
represented more hopes" than actu-
alities. However, many of them reach
ed goodly proportions before they
started down the incline. Railroads
and rumors of railroads were respon
sible for hundreds of these near-towns,
but others were founded on good bust
ness principles.
The Missouri river was the cause OF
the rise and fall of a number more.
In many cases, after the towns became
well established on its banks, the old
Missouri seemed to resent the en-
croachment of civilization, and start
ed after" the houses which had been
built close TO its muddy waters. And
when the Missouri undertook to wash
town away, the town eventually dis

Barney was the name of a good
sized town which was built on the Mis-

ly situated grave with view of gain
ing possession of it. The court not
only has decided that the grave must
not be removed, but that the path
leading to it is inviolate and may not
be cbstructed.
Zirngibl was Belgian and came to
Chicago when it was a trading post
surrounded by wide expanse OF ILL
nois prairie. He was a fisherman
and after years of hard toll accumu-
lated 500, with which he bought
eighty-tive acres near the mouth of
the Calumet river.
He died half a century ago and, in
accordance with his oft expressed
wish, was buried on the farm. Bit
by bit the property has been disposed
of until only the five and one-half
acres which surround the grave re-
main and the heirs will not agree to
let this pass out of their possession.

of the old settler than to recognize
the needs of the advance of modern
commercial activity.
A small picket fence surrounds the
grave, which is surmounted by bad
ly worn wooden slab on which is in
scribed, in letters which are scarcely
decernible, the epitaph of the pioneer
farmer. A large wooden cross lifts
itself through the pail of smoke and
cinders which fall around it by day
and leaves its shadow reflected by the
red glare of the mills at night, and
beneath the cross are the bones of

dent.
In 1895 Cronje frustrated the Jane
son raid at Krugersdorp. At the be-
ginning of the war between the Beers
and the British in 1899 he was placed
in command of the Boer army of the
west, the Orange Free State forces.
He directed the sieges of Mafeking
and Kimberley. After numerous and
CALLING reverses the British govern
ment sent out Field Marshal Lord
Roberts and Gen. Lord Kitchener,
with many thousands of fresh troops,
TO overwhelm the hardy Beers Cronje
and his forces were brought to bay at
a point on Modder river, near Paarde-
berg, where their position was impreg-
nable to assault, but greatly exposed
to artillery fire from the surrounding
heights. After ten days siege
Cronje's 5000 men had suffered so
much that they could endure no more
and the Boer general was forced to
surrender February 81, the anniver-
sary of Majuba.
The British government sent Cronje
to st. Helena, but after the war re-
leased him. With a picked force of
his army associates he gave exhibit
tons of Boer methods of drill and
warfare at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position in 1904 He owned several
thousand acres of land and was con-
sidered one of the wealthy men of
South Africa
After the war General Cronje lived
as an autocrat and a patriarch amid
bis farms and his herds, respected by
many and feared by all.

the eastern side of Penobscot bay and
river. is one of the most prominent
historic spots In Maine today. 1t has
preserved the well-marked traces OF
the works of the past and no small
settlement has within its borders so
many earthworks and old forts. Fore
most among the earthworks 10 Fort

Gen. Peleg Wadsworth escaped when
held a prisoner In 1880, after being
captured by the English at his home
In Thomaston and taken TO Castine,
where he was confined for long time.
Following the departure of the British
from Castine in 1915 the Americans
took possession of the fort and the
government had It repaired, strength

taking the place OF those used by the
British. The interior OF the fort has
long been used by the boys as ball
ground. The foundations of the old
barracks are still visible
History says that It was in this old
fort that the gibbet was erected on
which both Ball and Elliott were
hanged. Both names were well
known in the early period of Maine.
