Necessary To Shoot One Of
The Horses

A bad accident occurred at the cor
ner of East Gambler street and Ridge
ly street Sunday evening when a team
Of horses and buggy collided with
moving automobile. Nobody was SER
iously injured, but one horse was kill
Ned and the other was badly injured.
They were the property of Mr.. Syl-
vester Fletcher of South Vernon.
The accident took place at about five
o'clock. James Neibarger was driving
east on Gambler street and was run
ming close to the south curb. Accord
ing to the statements of persons who
witnessed the crash, both vehicles
were on the south side, although the
team of horses was being driven west.
Mr.. Neibarger states that he hugged
the south curb as long as he dared and
then, in order to avert a collision, he
turned sharply to the left. Unfortun-
ately, Mr.. Fletcher, who was driving
the horses, turned to the middle of the
street at the same time and the crash
came before either could stop. One of
the horses was struck a heavy blow
by the side of the machine and the
buggy was broken badly at the time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher, the two occu-
pants of the buggy, were able to re-
main upon the seat of the buggy al
though it was nearly turned over.
Seemingly uninjured, the horses
started a mad dash westward along the
street and ran for distance of one
block to the corner of Gambler and
Macarthur streets. At this point one
of them swerved sharply to the right
, and struck violently against a large
tree. The animal was thrown heavi-
ly and the other one was dragged down
with it. The buggy was overturned
and completely demolished. Mr.. and
Mrs Fletcher were both thrown to the
pavement, but neither was seriously in
jured. Mrs Fletcher sustained pain
full bruise upon her arm. She was
taken to her home by Mr.. Neibarger
who stopped his machine Immediately
after the accident.
One of the fallen horses rose to it's
feet with little persuasion and piece
of singletree was seen to be sticking
in it's left shoulder. This was drawn

BURNED 20 DEATH
IN PRISON CAGE
Thirty-FiV0 CNnViCtS Lose Their
Lives in Fire,

Thirty-fve convicts are dead at
Jackson, Mich, as the result of being
caught and burned in a fire which de-
stroyed the prison cage at the Oakley
state convict farm.
Officials of the prison are at loss
to explain the cause of the fire. One
report was circulated that it resulted
from a daring plot of some of the conr
victs to escape.
The prison cage served as a trap.
The men were locked up and when
the fire broke out were unable to es-
cape through the iron doors. Pitiful
stories are told of the screams and
cries which broke from the men as
the flames reached them.
From the outbreak of the fire tbs
men were doomed. Loud calls were
made for help, but the few guards and
other persons without the cells were
powerless to stop the fire. Bodies
brought from the ruins were burned
to a crisp.

The Apparently Drowned.

The frequent occurrence of drowning
accidents serves to emphasize the need
Of a thorough understanding of the
principles underlying resuscitation and
particularly the fact that success ulti-
mately depends on preventing perma
nent injury from lack of blood to the
brain. Efforts at resuscitation should
be used for at least two hours after
apparent DEATH" says DR.. f. W. Hitch
ings of Cleveland in the Journal of the
American Medical Association. The
heart may continue to beat for as long
a time as five minutes after cessation
of respiration. although it usually stops
in two or three minutes. Add to d
possible five minutes the seven min
utes during which the brain may be
completely resuscitated after total ces-
sation of the heart beat. a possible
maximum of twelve minutes Of rela-
tive death may be undergone with re-
covery"

TAES RUN AMUCK
Sailors Of Pacific Fleet Mob
"Red Flag" Offices.
TWO PARTIES OF RIOTERS


ciaIism at a Banquet Given in His
Honor at the Rainier CIub-SaiIors
Assaulted by Industrial Workers of
the World.
At Seattle, Wash, United States
marines from the Pacific reserve
fleet, most of the sailors wear
ing the name bands of the cruisers
Colorado and California, started to
''clean up the town. as they expressed
it, by attacking the headquarters of
the Socialists and the Industrial
Workers of the World.
After destroying the Moderate So
cialists' headquarters at Seventh and
Olive the sailors demolished meet
ing room of the Salvation Army,
which somebody had said was an In
dustrial Workers meeting place. A
provost guard of fifty men of the fleet
was hurried ashore in cutters to arrest
all the rioters, who caused much dam
age.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels was
dining on the cruiser West Virginia,
the guest of Admiral Reynolds, when
the rioting began. The rioting was as
cribed to a speech he had made in de-
nunciation of the red flag.
Two Parties of Rioters.
There were two parties of rioters.
The first wrecking party to get under
way was composed of twelve men of
the navy, several members of the
Washington naval reserve and 100
young civilians.
The mob rushed to Socialist head
quarters on Fifth avenue, smashed
the plate glass window and nailed
American flags to the front of the
building.
Sack Socialist Quarters.
Meanwhile a second party of men
from the fleet attacked the big In
dustrial Workers headquarters on
Washington street, in the southern
part of the city. The contents of the
building were dragged into the street
and a bonfire made of them.
The mob reformed in the north part
of the city after it had been dispersed
and went back to the Socialist head
quarters and sacked the place, destroy
ing furniture and a large quantity of
literature.
Daniels AssaiIs Red Flag.
Shortly before midnight Secretary
Daniels, addressing a banquet at the
Rainier club in his honor, praised the
attitude of the mayor of Boston, who
stopped red flag parade.
"The red flag has no place in this
country" he said, "and believers in
it have no place in this country. A
mayor who does not enforce the law
against the red flag is not fit to hold
Office, and people who believe in the
red flag should be driven from the
country
During the administration of Mayor
Cotterill Industrial Workers and So
cialists have been given license to
speak in the streets as long and as
loudly as they chose, provided they
did not block traffic or. display the red
flag. Mayor Cotterill has been assail-
ed for permitting such speaking.
1t is said the riot was caused pri-
marily by the fact that several sailors
got into a fight with Industrial Work
ers at a street meeting during the
city's pottatch.
