ARMY MEN BAR FREAK DANCES
Turkey Trot and Other Contortions
Prohibited at Leavenworth-one
Punished For Breaking Rule.

Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.-Turkey
trotting, bunny hugging and all the
other similar dances and dancing con-
tortions which have shocked society
at Newport and other fashion centers
are under ban at Fort Leavenworth.
OF late the young officers and their
women friends have been gradually
introducing these dances.
So bold had they become recently
that Col. Daniel Cornman. the com
mander of the garrison, caused to be
posted an order prohibiting the "tur
key trotting or other similar dances"
The notice was evidently taken as
a joke, for at the last hop one young
lieutenant and his partner gave most
correct exhibition of the turkey trot,'
right in the presence Of the colonel.
Result, next day the officer was no
titled that he would be prohibited
from attending the dances in the next
60 days and post gossip has it that he
also is confined to the limits of the
reservation.

SIX NUNS DIE TO SAVE CHILDREN
Fire Destroyed St. Johns Orphanage
at San Antonio, Tex.-Little
Ones Were Rescued.

San Antonio, Texas.-Sacrificing
their lives to rescue the 81 orphan
children in their charge, six Sisters of
charity persisted in a fire that de-
stroyed st. Johns orphanage. One
baby fell to its death with Mary OF
the Cross, mother superior of the in
stitution, who left her place of safety
in vain effort to save the child.
Flames broke out in the building
early in the morning. Aroused from
their sleep, the nuns marshaled their
charges to fire escapes, remaining at
their posts until flames barred the
way to safety. Sister Kastka Farrell
and Sister Monica Montez were killed
by jumping.
The children owe their lives to the
daring and self-sacrifice of the nuns.

BOUND TO CRIPPLE LIGHT PLANT
Second Attempt Within Week to
y Plunge Yates Center in Dark
ness-Robbers Suspected.
Yates Center, Kas.-The men who

siezed, bound and gagged James
ODonnell, engineer of the electric
light plant Monday night and turned
off the city light with the evident in
tention of looting the town, returned
again at night and attempted to seize
the engineer.
The men were driven away by
guards, and bloodhounds were used
to trail them. The trail led to the rail-
way yards, but ended there. The at
tacks on the light plant have become
a town mystery, for which there seems
to be no explanation. There could be
no motive save robbery. The resi-
dents say there is no trouble of any
kind either over the light plant or in
volving the city.
