CONVICTS AID CONFLAGRATION.
Flames Destroy -Four Large Buildings
of Kansas Penitentiary.

Lansing, Kan, April 22.-Fire that
DESTROYED four large buildings and
caused a loss estimated at S300,O00
in the Kansas penitentiary was spread
by convicts who scattered burning
papers in buildings not in the path
of the flames, according to a state
ment by Fire Chief Michael Bahler
of Leavenworth. His opinion was
confirmed by some of the prison
officers.
The fire started when the arma-
ture of a motor in the twine plant
suddenly burst into flames. The
State carries no insurance on its
structures.
Several prisoners told me of see
ing other convicts lighting bunches
of paper in the building known as
the furniture factory" said Chief
Bahler.
Warden J. X. Codding said he be-
lieved it probable that convicts start
ed the fire.
The women in the prison were TAX
en- out and the insane convicts trans
ferred to the cell house. The build
ing was only slightly damaged.
The scene of the greatest excite
ment was in the insane ward, $50
feet from the twine plant. The
flames seemed to throw panic into
every inmate. There were so insane
convicts. Excited by the sight of the
flames the prisoners screamed and
with clenched hands beat on the iron
bars of their rooms,
Six prisoners and one guard were
burned slightly. Six hundred con-
victs who were working in the prison
yard when the fire started, were not
locked up but called to aid in fight
ing flames. \
A dozen prisoners in the boiler
room of the power house stayed at
their tasks, keeping up steam for the
pumps.

FALLING TREE KILLS MAN.
Marion Rucker Falls in Path of Tree
Which Had Just Been Cut.

Lexington, S. c., April 12.-Marion
Rucker, young white man, was in
stantly killed at Johnson's shingle
mill, about six miles south of Swan
sea, at about 8 o'clock this morning
when a pine tree fell upon him.
Rucker and a negro were cutting
pine together, one on one side of the
tree and the other on the opposite
side. When the tree began to topple
Rucker ran and in an effort to get out
of the way of the falling tree he
stumbled and fell directly in the
path of the pine and life was crushed
out. The young mans neck was
broken and he was terribly mangled
about the face and head. Coroner
Weed, of Lexington, was summoned,
but it being impossible for him to
get to Swansea in time to hold an in
quest today on account of the heavy
rains, Magistrate Jefcoat, of Swan
sea, conducted the inquest. The jury
returned a verdict in accordance
with the above facts.

MAN ASSAULTED ON HIGHWAY
Buck Anderson Receives Injuries at
Hands of a Bold Bandit.

Florence, April 10.-Buck Ander-
son, we'll known citizen of this COM
munity, was assaulted brutally on one
of the most travelled highways of the
State about noon to-day. He had
left the city, having in his possession
some money, how much is not known,
but evidently enough to tempt some
bandit to attack him. He was struck
on the nose and mouth, and was hor-
ribly cut. The attack was made with
a piece of board, which was picked up
near where he fell. Evidently the
man who attacked him went off with
out robbing him. Mr.. Anderson was
left for dead in the middle of the
road on the Jeffreys Creek cause
way, not two miles from the city. He
was found there by J. w. Cary a
very short while after he was struck,
and Mr.. Cary revived him enough to
learn that he had been attacked. He
brought the stricken man into the
city for medical attention and he is
now at local infrmary.

PALMER LAND.
Yankee Lad Who Carried the Ameri.
can Flag to Antarctic.
pumps.

History presents from time to time
some curious anomalies, and not least
among these is the story of the origl-
nal discovery of the great continent
surrounding the South Pole. A grim,
inaccessible coast guarded from man S
approach by fields of impossible ice
foes and bergs, it resisted all efforts
of the ablest of early explorers to
win it's shores-only to be discovered
at last by boy of IS in command of
a little Acton sloop.
Nathanial Palmer was the lads
name, says the Outing Magazine, and
he came of the best of old New Eng
land seafaring stock. After some pre-
liminary training at sea young Pal
mer sailed in 1912 or 1914 as second
mate of bark bound for the sealing
grounds of South Africa. After some
weeks of fruitless exploration and
terrific struggles with the wintry
gales of the region about Cape Horn
they came at last to the South Shet-
land Islands and soon had filled the
vessels hold with a fortune in furs.
This voyage made such stir in all
the New England seaport towns on
their return that before many years
second expedition was fitted out
and Palmer, now Captain Nat, was
given command of a little Down East
sloop called the Hero, which was sent
along in corsort with the larger YES
sells. This diminutive craft could
hardly have been more than 60 feet
in length, but she weathered success
fully the rigors of wind and sea and
arrived in due course at her destina-
ton.
At this time nothing was known of
the existence of any land Of continen-
tai extent within the Antartlc circle
nor did Captain Nat much care
whether there was or not. What
he was looking for were seals. So
when he came upon a long stretch OF
coastline facing to the north IN the
vicinity of the sixtieth meridian west
of Greenwich he examined the shore
for possible rookeries, and finding
nothing but ice and penguins, sailed
away again to the northward.
A few days after the little He
70 fell in with two tall ships of the
Russian navy under Commander Bel
lingshausen. When young Palmer
went on board for lunch, at the COM
mander's invitation, and mentioned
casually his discovery of land to the
southwark he must have been surpris-
ed indeed to learn that that which he,
in his little sloop had blundered up
on unsought and had turned away
from in disgust, these mighty ships
Of the car of all the Russias had for
two years been seeking in vain.
Commander Bellingshausen, to do
him full justice. gave young Palmer
full credit for the discovery, and this
the first portion OF the Antarctic
continent to be seen by m2n-is set
down upon the maps to-day as Pal
mer Land, in enduring tribute to the
daring OF the Yankee sailor lad who
first caught sight of it from the deck
Of little sailbcat in the year of
grace 1921.

that the beautiful sister may go forth
