TWO RINGS STOP
WEDDING BELLS
Coloradoan Finds Prospective Bride
Is Sister.

Greeley, Colo, Feb. 24.--Twc
rings rang the passing of the dream
of a welded life together of Frank
Cameron and Mary Hardy, home
steaders, who were to have begun
their honeymoon here yesterday.
Cameron wore one of the rings as
a watch charm, Miss Hardy haG the
other as a keepsake from her broth
er.
The two rings proved Miss Hardy
and Cameron to be brother and Sis
ter.
Cameron is As years old. His
homestead is located fifteen miles
from his nearest neighbor, Miss Har-
dy, at Buckingham, Colo.
An acquaintance of a year term
mated yesterday in Cameron procur-
ing a license and speeding with a
wedding ring to his fair neighbours
ranch. Cameron was dressed in his
wedding clothes. On his watch chain
dangled the ring given him twenty
five years ago by his sister when as
orphans they were taken to different
in Iowa.
Miss Hardy showed him the ring
carved from a dime given her by
her brother when she left him for
an orphanage.
Cameron recognized the ring he
had given her when he was eleven
years old and she but nine, so that
they would always remember each
other.

SHOOTING Affairs
FATAL TO four
One Man Kills Waitress; Another
Shoots Woman Who Rejected
Him; Both Suicide.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 23.-Foul
persons are dead, four persons
wounded and one is dying in hos
pital as the result of two shooting
affairs in this city yesterday. In
both cases infatuation with women
who rejected professions of love
was responsible for the tragedies.
Early in the day Carl Kinlock, 3S,
shot and killed a waitress, an elder
ly woman he did not know, while
vainly trying to kill young wait
ress who had spurned him. He
wounded her, shot himself and is
dying.
Late yesterday Herman Peters,
Infatuated because his boarding
house mistress refused to elope with
him, shot and killed two women
against whom he held grudge, SER
iously injuring the one who reject
ed him. wounded two other persons
and then fired bullet into his own
head, dying several hours later.

TO GET
BETTER CONDITIONS
New Arrangements Made for Fort
Madison Contract Work.

Des Moines, Feb. 24.-Prisoners
at the Fort Madison penitentiary
get increased pay and shorter hours
through an agreement made yester-
day by the state board of control for
the cancellation of one prison con-
tract and the transference of the
contract of the Fort Madison Chair
company to the Fort Madison Tool
company. This takes It's men out
of the contract labor system.
By the terms of the arrangement,
the board may terminate the re-
naming contract on or after March
1, 1916, by giving ninety days no.
tice. The old contract could not be
cancelled before Oct. Is, 1917. The
state gains more than a year by the
new deal.
The board heard the arguments
of T. f. Hitch, superintendent of
the Fort Madison Farming Tool
company. The board took the stand
that it would not renew any con-
tracts, but in view of securing an
advantage in being able to end all
contracts at Fort Madison earlier
than under the present arrange
ment, the board authorized the chair
company to transfer it's contract to
the tool company.
The state will receive 60 cents a
day for each man employed by the
tool company under the new agree
ment. In addition the company will
pay each man 10 cents day for
himself. The working day will be
cut from ten to nine hours.

BRITISH SHIP
RUNS AGROUND
Steamer Sachem May be Floated at
High Tide Near Hog Island
Off Coast Of Virginia.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 23.-The Brit
ish freight steamer Sachem, Captain
Evans, bound from Liverpool fol
Norfolk, went ashore during a storm
yesterday, five miles north of HOG
island on the upper Virginia coast
The ship first appeared to be in a
serious position and life savers went
to the rescue and stood by ready to
take the crew off. The high seas,
which caused the vessel to pound
heavily, subsidized, and the Sachem is
expected to float upon the next high
tide. The revenue cutter Itasca has
gone to it's assistance.
The Sachem carries a crew of
twenty-four men. 1t is a freighter
exclusively.
Life savers of the Kill Devil Hill
station yesterday picked up nine life
belts that were cast on the beach by
the high seas now prevailing. The
belts were marked S. s.. California.
There are several steamers of
that name, none of which has been
reported in trouble.
1t is believed that the belts are
old ones and were probably thrown
overheard.

BRIDGES ARE WASHED OUT.

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 23.-St
far as railroad communication wa:
concerned, Los Angeles and south
ern California remained yesterday
cut off from the world as result Of
the record breaking storm of rain
and wind which swept this section
three days last week. Nor was there
any prospect that even semblance
of normal conditions would be re.
stored before today or tomor-
row. Telegraph service was still
crippled. The telephone companies
managed to restore communication
to a certain extent, but yesterdays
reports from the centers Of six coun-
ties most affected did not materially
change yesterdays estimate of to-
tai damage amounting to about $4,-
100000.
There was no rain Saturday and
yesterday and under a bright sun
the floods which tore out nearly ev-
cry bridge in the southern section of
the state and carried away every
thing movable in their path, sub
sided almost as quickly as they
arose, leaving vast area of coun-
try-orchards, ranches and even
towns-under thick layers of silt
and rocks.
The greatest anxiety yesterday
concerned the situation of the 800
passengers marooned aboard the
California Limited and the Phoenix
Express of the Santa Fe lines at
Summit, in the San Bernardino
mountains. These trains were STALL
ed Friday in a mountain pass.
Cloudbursts were followed yester-
day by a heavy snow storm and low
temperatures and according to rail-
road reports the only provisions
available were those carried by one
dining car. Automobiles were sent
out last night from San Bernardino
to try a perilous trip over washed
roads in an effort to afford relief be-
fore the hardships of famine pre-
vailed. Wagons also were sent from
settlements in the desert closer to
Summit. These wagons bore, besides
food, pipes and machinery supplies
to repair the heating systems of the
trains which were reported today as
out of order.
The twelve men and women injur-
ed in the wreck of the Salt Lake
Los Angeles limited Fri
day night near Lugo station, were
reported yesterday as rapidly recov-
ering at Barstow, where they were
taken.
