KILLS ONE, WOUNDS ANOTHER.

Sumter Fugitive.

Cured at New Sumter, about three

rant and deputized to make the ar

prevent Little from shooting when

SIX MILLION AWAITING HIM.
Joliet Carpenter Falls Heir to Big
Estate in England.

Joliet, ILL.,, May 1S.-"You are heir
to a six-million dollar estate in Eng
land" were the magic words that
Frank Jackson, a Joliet carpenter,
received in letter from his young
est brother, John Jackson, of San
Antonio, Texas.
The letter stated that Mrs. Mary
Jackson, a childless aunt of Frank
and John, had died in Pelkington,
Yorkshire. Under the old English
law of "estate entail' the Joliet man
becomes undisputed heir to the en-
tire property. He is the eldest son
of a brother of his aunt's husband.
The only bar to immediate pos
session of the great estate is proof
of his identity and Jackson says he
will have no trouble in establishing
that.

Auto PlungeS Into River.

Chicago, May 20.-Five persons,
three men and two women, were
drowned early to-day when the auto
mobile in which they were riding
plunged in to the Calumet river at
the Ninety-second street bridge.
None of the names of the victims
so far has been learned. One of the
women jumped into the river as the
embankment was reached, according
to a watchman. Her body was recov-
cred. The woman was apparently
"a years old, and the initials "a. M
were on her bracelet.
The automobile, which was going
at about 80 miles an hour, turned
completely over as it went into the
river.
The bridge had been swung to al
low a boat to pass. The driver OF
the machine was unable to apply the
brakes in time to avert the plunge.
Examination of the car definitely
established that it was owned by
Mrs. C.. F. Spalding, 1900 Astor
street. 1t was driven by John Buch-
anan, a. chauffeur, temporarily en-
ployed by Mrs. Spalding. He took
the car without permission and invit-
ed two women and two men friends
to ride with him.
With this knowledge, the police
ceased working on the theory that the
car might have been owned by Con-
gressman Cannon's nephew.

MILLION LOSS IN HOUSTON.
Part of the City's Business District
Swept by Flames.

Houston, Texas, May 19.-Fire
broke out in the upper Main street
business district shortly before 4
o'clock this morning and by 7 o'clock
had caused loss approXimating ST.
100000. 1t originated in the Stow
ers building, a large six-story build
ing owned by H. Masternson, and oc-
cupied by the Showers Furnace Com
pany and A. Upper Millinery Com
pany. Firemen are Of the opinion
that the cause was due to defective
wiring, aided by overheated wires,
and that it started in the upper floor
of the Upper establishment.
For two hours the building was a
raging furnace and the heat was so
intense that it was not possible for
the fremen to get near. However,
several streams were soon playing
from every vantage point.
Light and telephone wires began to
crackle and fall, and with them their
pole supports, and the streets about
this building and that adjoining were
networks of fallen and hanging
wires. Wall after wall fell with a
roar that could be heard for many
blocks, while the flames made it as
light as day.
This, with the changing of fire
bells, as general alarm after general
alarm was turned in, the rattle of
fire wagons, the yelling of commands
by the firemen, the incessant footing
of automobile horns, produced a
scene like unto Dante's "Inferno'
and amid it all the people began to
swarm from every direction. The
buildings adjoining soon became af-
fected and as they did the furnace
became greater.
1t was a roaring, seething mass Of
flame and the heat reached an inten-
sity indescribable. 1t was this in
tense heat that caused the flames to
spread to the Temple building, across
Capitol avenue, and to the Latham
building just east, and to the Mason
building to the south.
Flames leaped up to the upper
floors of the ten-story Jones building,
occupied by the Texas Company. That
this building was not destroyed and
the. whole of the block endangered
was due to the fact that it is a fire.
proof structure.
The Levy building, adjoining the
Jones building, was damaged, but not
to any great extent, while the Mitch
