VANOALS WRECK
HAVOC IN HOME
CHINA, GLASS AND PICTURES
SMASHED IN HOME AT
JAMESTOWN.

jamestown, N. D., March ia
terrible debris of broken china, shatter-
ed pictures and smashed glass was
found in the home of Mrs. Arden
Smith near the asylum bridge by
her son, Howard Smith, when he Wis
ited the house yesterday. There is no
clue as to who is responsible for the
wholesale destruction and the fact that
nothing was stolen although valua-
bles lay about on all sides, makes the
mystery the deeper.
Mrs. Smith has been in Penville,
Can, since early in the winter, Wis
iting her sister and other relatives
and the house was remainded unoc-
cupied. When Mr.. Smith went to the
house he found the back door open
and upon entering he received his
first intimation of the havoc that is
complete in every room.
The chairs, tables and similar ar
ticles of heavy furniture are not
touched, but nearly every piece of
china is smashed to tiny bits, the
pictures are torn from the wall, the
drawers of the chiffoniers and even
or the sewing machine are dumped
and the contents strewn about A
trunk was also opened and although
IT contained valuables, nothing was
taken. The oval glass in the side
board was broken and 8 hammer lay
nearby which, it is thought, was used
in the process of destroying the glass
and china.
The condition of the house was first
discovered by three boys who after
yHyl = a H6T H. 4.
thinking Mrs. Smith had returned,
went over to visit with her. Some
who saw the tracks Of these boys
thought at first it might have been
young fellows who did the damage,
but the more generally accepted theo-
ry is that someone from the state
hospital, in ademented condition,
worked the destruction.

is evidenced by the dispatch given be-
low which was received last evening
from that city. Gladys. while in Min
neapolis received transportation from
her parents at Rochester, but accord
ing to the dispatch Anna Is still wait
ing and her parents declare they don't
really care whether she ever comes
hoem. The attention of the local police
was called to the girls by their efforts
to pawn a silk skirt and as a result of
the efforts of the police department
and Y. w. c. A. the two girls were
provided with transportation to the
twin cities. In some way they fell
into the hands of the Minneapolis
police and are not having so easy a
time getting the necessary money to
Gceed them on their way east. The
following is the dispatch from Min
neap0lis:
When Anna Streher and Gladys
Carney started from their home in
Rochester, n. Y, some time ago, it
was understood that Miss Anna was
the heroine OF the pair, for she was
to be the bride of a man at Buford,
n. D., whom she had wooed and won
by correspondence.
She decided the reality did not come
up to her expectations and passed
him up" Gladys was to be her maid
of honor. She was disappointed when
the affair did not materialiZe and the
two started for another town, only TO
find themselves stranded, as they de-
clared they were robbed Of their money
on the train,
They were sent to Minneapolis by
the Y. w. c. A., and arrived in this
city penniless. After being held In
the Central station for several days,
Miss Gladys finally received a ticket
from her parents in Rochester, which
sent her on her way rejoicing, last
night, while the erstwhile heroine OF
the romance is still in Jail awaiting &C
ton by her folks, who say they have
neither the money nor the inclination
to send for her.
Both girls, who are only IS years
old, aver they had a splendid time en-
joying the scenery and other things
on their western. trip.

May 16 for Queenstown and Liverpool
struck Daunt Rock at noon today during
a fog as II was approaching this port
after an eventless voyage.
The first that was known of the acci-

in the inner harbor. with twenty-five feet
of water in its fore compartment Pre-
vious reports that 1t had been beached
were erroneous.
The great hole in the fore part Of the
liner and the narrow margin Of free board
above the water sufficiently indicated
what a narrow escape the steamer had
from destruction.
The captain brought his damaged vesse
safely into the inner harbor where it wal
anchored. The passengers, who numbered
75s. were quickly landed.
The liner was within a mile Of a tender
which was waiting to take off the Irisf
contingent of passengers, when Daunt Rocl
suddenly loomed up in a dense fog, and
before the vessels way could be stopped
the ship struck.
The passengers were at luncheon and
quickly rushed on deck. The ship only
hung on the rocks for a short time and
then slid off into deep water, with a large
aperture in its starboard bows, through

Captain Potter and his officers however
were prompt to close the bulkhead and the

ward hold. There was no sign Of panic on
board
