MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury in Bride Quiz.

Danville. H~l.--Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
cision in the case of City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones TO an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision OF the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury Is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law Is
unconstitutional. which means that
Jones annot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. II is
said that many indictments have been
voted. but whether they are for vote
selling Is not known.

The pretty daughter of a physician

She explained all this to her lover

REBELSDEFEATED
INSURGENTS DITCH TRAIN TO
ASCERTAIN lF SOLDIERS ARE
ON BOARD.
LONG BATTLE FOLLOWS
Attack Of Orozco's Men-The Former,
March Into Juarez IN
moiested.

Eel Paso, TeXas.-Colonel Rabago
and his command of 300 federaIs en-
tered the city of Juarez ~unmolested
by the insurrecto forces and We're re-
ceived with joyful acclaim by the peo-
pie of the city.
The star of the inSurrectoS' leader,
PaSquel Orozco, who was 10 occupy the
city OF Juarez appears TO be on the
wane. His policy of delay has en-
abled achievements to reach Juarez
and the probability of taking that city
is now considered much more remote
than it was Saturday.
Other reinfOTcements, in the shape
of General Navarro's column, are Ell
route from Chihuahua and it is expect
to hold their city and knowing this the
insurrectos will retire.
The net result of a battle at Bauche
between Orozco and Rabago was two
killed and five wounded among the
insurrectos. The federal loss cannot
be learned. as they carried their
wounded with them, but it was report
eQ JuaL liU q Deen killed.
Passenger Train Oitched.
The regular passenger train over
the Juarez division of the Mexico
Northwestern railway was ditched by
OroZcO's force in a small cut at Bauche,
10 miles south of .Juarez.
The insurgents. who were stationed
within 200 yards of the scene, immc-
diately made an examination, because
the train had not been stopped when
signalled, causing them TO suspect that
Rabago's federalS were on the train.
A large number of the men were in
the first car behind the engine. Many
of these were killed or injured by the
derailment of the coach. The wound
ed were placed in the ditch beside the
track and everything possible done for
their care.
Rabago has about $50 men of his
own command and from $50 to 300
men of the Eighteenth battalion of in
fantry, which has been fighting for the
last ten days.
Red Cross Train Starts.
A Red Cross train of four coaches
went out of Juarez for the scene Of bat
tie, carrying physicians, nurses and
medical supplies.
Rabago escaped by tearing up one of
the box cars and building a skidway
TO get the horses off the cattle cars.
The men were then lined up with their
front to the insuTrectos and retreatcd
1000 yards eastward.
On reaching the foothills they placed
their machine gun on the insurrectos'
trenches. To a group of Americans
behind the trenches, the federals APP
peared to number about 400. After
ward they moved northwest in good or.
der and Were seen to face the left and
deliver volleys toward the i~nsurrectos'
trenches.

Great Baseball PLAY.

What was the greatest baseball
play you ever saw" asked a friend OF
Governor-elect John w. Tener.
The greatest play 1 eve saw" said
he. took place in an amateur game
on a town lot at Charleroi. The teams
were playing on a wet field and an
%outfielder who wore a derby hat went
after a high fly. He came to a little
pond and taking his eye off the ball
made a jump to cross IT. AS he was
leaping the ball struck him on the
head, went through the crown of his
hat and lodged there. The base run
ner was out and the fielder had not
touched the ball with his hands. Can
o beat it?"-Washington Core

MISSOURI CAPITOL BURNG
LIGHTNING CAUSES DISASTROUS
FIRE AT JEFFERSON CITY.
Many Of Records Of Governors and
Other State Offices Are Complete
Loss.

Jefferson City, Mo. - The Mis-.
sori capitol building was entirely de-
stroyed by fire. The total loss in
Guiding the structure and many rec.
ords and state papers in the Offices of
the governor, secretary of state and
treasurer Is estimated at $1,000, 900,
with no insurance.
Lightning, which struck the cupola
of the dome shortly after Z o'clock in
the morning, spread the flames TO the
roof of the house of representatives on
the north side of the structure, and in
less than n half hour it was apparent
that the entire building was doomed.
Because of the ~inadequacy of the
water pressure, the fire could not be
reached, and no aid could be rendered
for some time by the local fire com
panies.
Governor Hadley personally directed
the fight against the flames, which, be-
cause of the age of the building, rapid
ly gained Roadway. The p~enitentiary
fire department was Immediately call
ed TO the scene and the convictS work
ed h~eroically, scaling walls and TAX
ing dangerous chances for their lives.
The local military company was
called out and formed a Gordon around
the building, driving spectators from
dangerous positions and removing rec
Ords from the different state depart
ments. The fire soon spread to the
roof Of the senate chamber on the east
side, where the efforts of the fremen
proved unavailing to check it.
The records of the house of repre-
sentatives were destroyed while those
of the senate were saved. In the state
t~reasurer's Office more than $20,O 900 is
in the time vault, supposedly fire proof,
and may be saved when the debris is
cleared away. There was no insurance.
The historic capitol was erected in
1888 at a cost of $370,000 and in 1887
remodeled at a cost OF S25, 200.
The loss of the house records prac-
tically necessitates the work of the
present session being done over. At
midnight a part of the Sedalia. Mo-,
fire department which arrived after a
run of GA miles on a special Missouri
Pacific train, Joined the local forces in
an effort to say the records in the
basement of the building, the cement
floors over which are believed 10 be
intact.
Gov. Hadley announced that he
would grant pardons to several on
victs who risked their lives to save
state papers.

This powder vas part of the Du-

was the dynamite, but it should have

maintained, before the dynamite was
taken aboard.
. Contrary to general belief" said
DR.. Hudson, black powder is far
more dangerous than dynamite. We
believe the powder became ignited and
in exploding detonated some Of the
dynamite-nOt much of II. Dynamite
freezes at about 40 degrees Fahrenheit
and is nearly impossible to explode
when frozen. The temperature on the
day OF the explosion and for a week
before was below As"
Hudson Maxim, the inventor. an
authority on explosives, inclined to
the same belief. He agreed the after
effects of the explosion suggested gun
powder rather than dynamite.
Dynamite produces intense local
effects" he said, "it pulzeri7es, where
