RAILROAD
BUILDER
DIES

Nelson Bennett, the best known
railroad builder and contractor
in the Northwest, died shortly be-
fore noon today at his residence,
sos South c street. He had suf-
fered STROKE of paralysis last
evening, and been under the care
of physicians all night.
Mr.. Bennett was a pioneer
among railroad builders. In his
younger days he had been a
brakeman, and came west with
the building of the Northern Pa
cific railroad. He engaged in
contracting work and his first big
achievement was the digging of
the famous two-mile railroad tun-
nell of the Northern Pacific at
Stampede, in the Cascades.
He finished his contract for the
Point Defiance tunnel two weeks
ago, and had been resting since
that time. Apparently he was In
the best of health until the very
moment of the stroxe of paraly-
sis yesterday.
Mr.. Bennett had constructed
his own home on c street-one Of
the finest residences In the city
and had always taken an active
interest in local affairs. Funeral
arrangements are in charge of the
MISUNDERSTANDING company.

80 CONVICTS
ARE CREMATED

JACKSON, Miss. July 81. -
Thirty-three negro convicts sIeep-
ing on the second floor of a wood
en- cage in a convict farm twenty
miles southwest OF here were cre-
mated at midnight and the bodies
burned beyond recognition.
The fire started on the first
floor of the structure. The build
ing was flimsy and the flames de-
voured it rapidly. Screams of the
imprisoned men were heard for
miles around the district.
The lower floors of the cage
were filled with hay. AS there
were no means of fighting the fire,
guards stood by and watched the
convicts die in agony.

/, ship must know more than navi-
cation; he did not know that he
must know electricity, wireless
telegraphy, engineering, a bit of
everything.
The electrical hoists caught his
eye. They were explained.
'We had powder monkeys" he
said. "-incorrigible young shaw
ers who carried the powder from
the magazines to the guns. The
speed that you could work your
guns depended upon how fast the
powder monkeys could run. And
sometimes the gunners didn't get
all the fire out, and the man with
the ramrod would sail away in
section in the general direction of
the enemy" -. -. -. -. .
Later he asked how much pay
the enlisted men received, and
was speechless when told that the
lowest pay was SIG, while a mas
ter at arms gets 500.
In the war of 1912 Jones and
his men depended upon "privateer
money" Jones was a fine sailor
but a poor politician. and a mig
gardly congress jockied him out
of most of his share. The promo
tion to commodore did not soothe
him, so he took himself Aoff to
fight for the French.
The round of the ship having
been made, we returned to the aft
deck.
"A nip of something" sug.
gested the captain of the Califor-
MIA.
Jones did not reply. In
