expedition was unsuccessfuI.
The attempt to capture Downing street
failed, but the victory of the police was
not won without a series of free scrlm-
images, in which both policemen and won-
en- were injured.
Miss PanlIhurst appeared at demon
stration in Trafalgar Square, in favor OF
free speech. She denounced the Right
Hon. Regnald McKenna, the home seer O.

the flag of the Women's Social and Polit-
cal union surmounted by liberty cap.
Severely Handled
The police, however, had been apprised
of the intentions of the demonstrators and
had thrown strong Gordon around
Downing street The lockers tried to
break through and some of the women
went to their aid, hut We're severely HIM
died, In the fighting women were thrown
to the ground and the lockers We're
clubbed. Many were arrested Finally
mounted police dispersed the crowd.
The incident which led to the outbreak
was Miss Pankhurst's objection to a res
olution put to the meeting because it con-
tained no direct reference to votes for
women.
THE men on this platform" she said,
have refused to put the question of
women's vote in the resolution. That jusr

you going to do"
Cheers Greet Speech
Cheers greeted this speech and there
was a general movement toward getting
into line. Between 1900 and 1000 persons
followed Miss PanlShurst's banner, sing
ing the Marseillaise Having started the
attack, the suffragette leader left the SC
tive directions to her supporters. The pos

VETERANSOF Blue
AND GRAY GATHER
FOR BIG REUNION
Gettysburg Steps so Years
Backward Into Halo of

THIRTY SPECIAL
TRAINS ARRIVE
All Day Long Aged Veterans of Boz =,

the Little Town-One Death
Results

Gettysburg. June 29-Gettysburg stepped
80 years backward today into the halo of
history and looked again upon an army of
blue and an army OF gray, meeting at
her doorstep to join in.the sem-centennial
ceepration of the greatest battle of the
war between the states and to show the
| world that scars are not so deep as the
feeling of American brotherhood. All day
veterans in blue and gray trooped into
the little town, which has slept peace
fully among it's hills since Lee and Mea0e
turned their legions southward so long
ago. More than 30 special trains came into
the village during the day.
From the station of the two railroads
that come into the village it is a good
long mile to the camp of 5000 tents, where
the veterans are housed Thousands
shouldered tEeir suit cases and walked.
The sun was scorching hot and many sue
cumbed before they found their tents.
There was no complaining, however.
Comfortable Arrangements
Every possible arrangement for the com
fort of the united armies has been made.
The camp itself lies on ground that nas
been baked as hard as brick and dried
into dust by the winds The tents fall
westward with the slope from the ground
from the Emnitsburg road to the point
on Seminary Ridge, where the immortal
| charge of Pickett started on the third cay
of the fight. They cover the peach or
chard' and the wheat field" where thou
sands of men We're lost, and part of the
ground over which Pickett charged, tut
they do not reach to the bloody angle"
or to the base of Cemetery Ridge.
The formal exercises will be held In a
big tent near the Emitsburg road, but
they will last only two hours each day
and the rest of the time the veterans will
spend as they please.
In the village itself thousands of sight
seers are quartered and thousands more
made the trip in every conceivable style
of conveyance. Every barn is a garage
days ago.

OMAHA VICTIM or TORNADO
Nebraska City Wrecked By
Fierce Winds. Many
Are Dead.

The great storm last Sunday
night destroyed 1885 dwellings,
367 business houses, killed, so far
as known to date 2O7 and serious
ly injured more than 700 at Oma-
ha.
The cold and two feet of snow
in that city greatly impedes res
cue work, and the belief is that
the disaster to the town and its
inhabitants will be found much
greater as clearing wrecks pro-
crosses.
Numbers of small towns in Ne
braska and Iowa were practical
ly demolished.
The same night what appears
to have been the east fork of the
hurrican swept over Indiana and
Ohio, killing and destroying
property.
Added to this, Tuesday night a
big dam north of Dayton, Ohio,
gave way, flooded the already
overfowing streams, and soon
that city of 12O, 600 was practical
ly submerged, water being from
6 to 20 feet deep in the streets.
Dwellings were swept away
like toy boats, and the loss of
life is reported to be more than
900.
Indiana and Ohio appear to be
in the throes of the greatest food
in history. No city or town along
rivers or water courses of any
size but what is flooded and in
habitants fleeing to hills, leaving
everything for safety.
Numbers of children set adrift
in tubs have fioated away, and ne
estimate can be made of the mum
Der of dead under the floating
debris.
Wires all down, lights exiting
uished, famine threatened and
water fit to use not to be had,
the conditions of the inhabitants
of the flooded districts in the
states mentioned is decidedly
worse than that of storm suffer.

Dunn were brought here from
Kansas City the evening of
Thursday March 20 in custody of
Deputy Sheriff Ewing and lodg-
ed in the county Jail charged
with the robbery of the Triplett
bank a month or more ago.
The men made no resistance
and were soon we'll housed at
the Jail. Their coming was
greeted by a good-sized crowd
anxious to see how real live al
legged yeggs appeared in public,
with the cuffs on. The men
looked pretty clean-cut and had
none of the marks of the usual
criminal.
In fact they more resembled
ladies men than anything else
and if reports are true, they GER
tainly were living up to appear
ances. 1t is reported that when
the men were taken in custody
they had were in the company of
women and it is reported fur
ther that they had other women
as well ''on the string"
On Friday during the day the
men were visited by Attorney
Howell of Kansas City and in the
evening, two women arrived
here on the late evening train,
leaving on the early morning
train for Kansas City. The wo-
men registered at the hotel as
Mrs. Robert Magruder and Mrs.
Lucille Glasscock. The women
had an extended visit with the
men at the county donjon the
evening of their arrival.
Upon arrival here, Glasscock
had on him about SIS and Dunn
a little small change. Glasscock
is about q years of age and
Dunn over 40. 1t is understood
that the men will not be given a
preliminary hearing but will be
held to the indictment and trial
at the May term of the circuit
court.

D0NNED FIGHTING DUDS
Leo Tyre, Belligerent Youth,
Gives Employer a
Trouncing

Leo Tyre, aged 18 years, who
had been working for Frank
Moritz, near Triplett, was taken
to county Jail Saturday for whip
ping Moritz and was held under
bond of $150O.
The scrap arose over the re-
fusal of Moritz to pay Tyre what
the latter claimed he owed him.
Tyre says Moritz tried to compel
him to leave the place without
his money and used a board as a
persuader. Thereupon Tyres
blood rose high and hot and he
waded in. The result was his
arrest by deputy sheriff.
Tyre, who has been working
near Triplett for three years and
bears a good reputation for in
dustry and sobriety, had been
working for Moritz and Moritz
owed him money. The dispute
arose over the amount claimed
by Tyre. Moritz tried to per-
suade Tyre to leave, it is claimed
using the board as an argument.
Tyre it seems, got the best OF
Moritz, according to his claims,
and then he states Moritz
daughter and other members of
the family waded into the mud
and conflict. Odds became SO
heavy that Tyre drew a big
knife. He says he did not use
it as there was no necessity as
he had a clearer field after that.
Moritz and his daughter had a
warrant issued for Tyres ar.
rest. They stated that Moritz
was cut and badly beaten and on
this statement the bond was SET
at $500. The farmer and his
daughter were covered with muG
while some Of his gore was min.
lgled with the mud on him. Ex-
animation showed no one had
been cut with a knife although
the farmers eye was cut and
blacked and swollen. Tyres
thumb was badly hurt and a sur
geon was called to dress the in,
Jury at the Jail. 1t was thought
Tyres bond would be reduced
lowing to the later development
of the case. The lad felt his
humiliation and cried a good
deal of the day Sunday.
Young Tyre was finally releas'
ed on $1,500 bond signed by
Triplett residents as sureties.

Died at His Home in This
City Monday, March
"a, Age SO.

Burgess BAIL LAWS, one OF
the best known men of the city,
died at his home in the east side,
Mon day March "a, following an
Hines s during which he was con-
fined to his bed for two years.
The decedent was born and
reared in this state and since
childhood resided in this county.
He was a unique character in
many ways and had the respect
of all who knew him. He died
at the age of 83 years after liv-
ing in feeble health for many
years.
Mr.. Davis was born in Howard
county and came with his parents
to Charlton in early youth. He
needed the call of the west dur
ing the gold fever, in '49 and
Joined those who toiled over the
Rockies to search for gold. He
returned here after a two years.
stay. After returning he COM
menced school teaching when
about 21 years of age and fol-
lowed that occupation for a
score of years. He served one
term as deputy sheriff of the
county and later was elected
sheriff and succeed himself for
another term.
He married Mrs. Margaret
Overton Brooks, February II,
1872. To this union seven chill
dren were born, two. Warner

survivors are John H. of Kiefer,

home. 49,
He first Joined the Baptist
church and remained a commun-
icant for several years. Hethen
became interested in the mode of
worship of another sect and be-
came a professor Of Holiness.
The teachings of this new sect
led him to some beliefs that
made him appear rather eccen-
trio. He refused to ride on rail-
roads because he said the rail-
roads violated the Sabbath by
operating On that day. The re-
suit was that when he attended
the annual gatherings of his sect
at Macon, which he did up to the
last few years of his life, he
walked there and back, in fact
he walked everywhere he went
or riding some other conveyance
than a train. His conscientious
ness was absolute and won for
him the admiration of those who
admired his resolve to do nothing
that his conscience did not ap-
prove.
The funeral service, was a
brief one, held at the home, by
Rev. Franc Mitchell, his friend.
The remains were taken for in
terment to the city cemetery.
