Charley Cecil of Mlddlesboro was In plain view of the Turner men. Some one raised the window of the log house and shot Cecil, who fell dead. Instant ly the man at the window fell back, pierced by a half do.cn bullets. Then the tiring began in earnest. The ofll eers scattered and hiding behind trees and roots, poured a galling lire into the mountain fortress. As soon as Cecil was killed his com panions determined to burn Turner's rendezvous, and in the midst of the battle n man applied u torch to an ex posed side of the building. In a few minutes the building was in tl nines. Several of the mountainers came to the window and were immediately shot down.

These figures were supplied lu a statement forwarded to the senate by the secretary of the navy in response to a resolution adopted by the senate in February, lliot, and is the result of the labors of a number of navy depart ment employes for the past year.

Work at TRY TO DISPOSE OF STOIEN GOODS A Mlmourl Lynching Clinton limine llrlil I'p Intcntor Suicide rnriucr Omaha lieu Slinuti lllumi'ir. (laiuhllng nhrlg Cltl- DENIES JURISDICTION Harry Price, aged seventeen, George Price, his brother, aged twelve, and John Durhe, aged sixteen, are all under arrest at the county jail at Fremont, Neb,, on the charge of breaking Into an Klkhorn freight ear and stealing some merchandise from a box it con tained. The three lads say they live at Omaha. They beat their way here on two Union Pacific trains from Omaha and left, the latter train nt this point. They went down Into the Klkhorn freight yards and procured a lot of gloves, mittens, hosiery and other articles which were part of a consignment to Omaha. It lias since been discovered that both doors of the freight car which con tained these goods were broken open. The large box lu which the merchan dise was packed was found by a switch man. It was found lying with the lid pried off near a grain elevator, and some of the articles had been taken out. News reached Fremont from Valley that the three young fellows named above had been arrested there while trying to dispose of some of the goods. Sheriff Krcadcr went to Valley anil brought them back with him. The boys claim that they did not break into the car, but found the box lying beside the track and helped themselves to what was In it. One of them had on seven pairs of hose when arrested, and another was wearing two suits of underclothing. The lads had also hid a quantity of their plunder In a large man's legging which was found In the railroad yards at Valley. The value, of the stolen articles was in the neighbor hood of twenty-five dollars. Claimant to 3,700 Acre of Iloyd County Land Will (let Deed. Half a day spcut by the state board of educational lands and funds lu listen ing to arguments of attorneys repre senting seventeen homesteaders in Doyd county resulted in a majority vote in favor of the state deeding !J,7()0 acres of land to the government so that the claimants of the property may hceure title. Land Commissioner Foil fner protested that the state could not legally relinquish the land in question as it had become u part of the school lauds of the state. State Treasurer Stcufer and Attorney General Prout voted for relinquishment, and Secreta ry of State was also willing, but he wanted the matter adjudicated by the courts. Although the court granted the ap plication of the land holders for deeds these documents must bo countersigned by Land Commissioner Follmer. There is much speculation as to whether he will voluntarily do this, but it is be lieved that he will sign the deeds at least after securing an opinion from the nttorney general as justification for the act. If the order of the loard is carried out the state will be obliged to select 2,700 acres of school lauds in some other part of the state. The Doyd county land is said to be worth from 9 -0 to 830 an acre, but if selections in lieu must be made the state must be compelled to accept land worth prac tically nothing. The nttorneys for tho claimant say they have received notice from the department of tho in terior that' tho state is nt liberty to choose land elsewhere, but the board has no official knowledge of such u rilling. Tho Doyd county land in dispute Is a part of the old Ft. Katidall military reservation. The state was entitled to 0,500 ncres In the reservation in lieu of land due from the government. An act of congress passed in lHUIt gave the state power to make the selection. In tho meantime several persons took homesteads there, some of them set tling on the sections lielonglng to the state. These settlers have been unable to secure deeds from the government on account of tho state's claim to tho name property. At the last session of tho legislature three llls, were pre sented for the purple of authorizing the governor ol the state of Nebraska to execute deeds to tho government, lloth measures were passed, but Land Commissioner Follmer was among those who declared the acts were unconstitu tional. After several conferences and noma investigation tho board met to adjust the matter. Shot lllmielf. Deputy City Clerk William Crawford of ltloomtngton, 111., shot himself through the head, dying instantly. He feared the effects of a surgical opera tion. Ho had been city nnd county of ficial for many terms ami was promi nent in central Illinois politics. Kill Illnmoir by Hanging. D. C. Jones, freight and passenger ngent of the Cedar ltaplds division of Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail road, committed suicide recently at Ottumwa, la. Ill health Is believed to Lavo been the cause. Twenty-Six l'liHHi-ngprs Injured, Train No. 10 on tho Krio road, leav" ing Cleveland for Now York, was wrecked between Mahoning nnd Phalanx, O. The whole train left the tracks and ran on for twenty car lengths, finally toppling over in n ditch. Twenty-six persons were in jured and, one, It is believed fa tally. The tralu consisted of :i buffet ear, two sleepers, chair ear, coach, baggage and express. Physicians were call from Warren and Yuungs tmvn and left at once for Livlttsburg, where some the injured lind been tak en. Some o! the seriously injured were taken to Youngstown. The wrecked train was one of tho finest on the road The cause of the wreck Is said to have been spreading rails. Most of the injured were in the coach next tho last. REPEAL OF THE WAR TAX Oovernor Hiirnqo Sftjm Supremo Court Cannot MiiiidiimtiM lllni. Governor Savage has filed an answer in the supieme court In which he en deavors to show that lie should not bo required by mandamus to appoint a lire ami police board for the city of Omaha. An altei native writ was Issued recently by the court on the applica tion of C. Wright of Omaha. Attor ney General Prout and F.d P. Smith, the latter an Omaha lawyer who was deputy attorney general when a simi lar attempt was made to mandamus Governor llolcomb, appear as the at torneys for Governor Savage. As predicted some time ago, Governor Savage denies the Jurisdiction of the supreme court to control, direct or to command him lu any manner as to tho performance of his duties as governor, and contends that tho question of the governor's right to appoint a tire and police board has been llnally adjudi cated by the court and denied. Ho cites the Monies and tho Kennedy cases as proof that his right to appoint Is denied, and says that the rulings lu those suits have not been reversed by the supreme court. The diifense of Governor Savage, is similar to the pleading of Governor llolcomb who is now on the supremo bench, when he was required tounswer in a case of the same nature. Ills de fense on that occasion was prepared by Attorney (icneral .I.C. Smyth and Dep uty I'.d P. Smith. The pleading that the question has been finally adjudi cated is a new feature in the fire and police lltiiratlon. As the rights of co-ordinate branches of the state and the general govern ment Is a perplexing one, lawyers are anxiously awaiting the result of the ease. In the ease Instituted against (Jovernor llolcomb, tho court, did not get to a point where It saw lit to puss on the question of jurisdiction over tho governor, the litigation being decided on another point. The only Important decision by the Nebraska court bearing on this subject is that of the state ex rel Hates against Thayer and others, in which Judge Maxwell held that the governor could lie compelled by mandamus to perform a ministerial duty. That was a case In which (Jovernor Thayer was required to act ex-olllclo chairman of the statu canvassing board as prescribed by law ACCOUNTS SHORT Postmaster Partritlgo of Kono saw Suicides.

No one was lu the house at the time, but his wife and his small sou, their only child. Mr. Partridge has been one of the most promluout citizens, socially and politically. He was highly re spected by all and Interested himself actively in all things pertaining to the advancement of the material Interests of Kcuesaw. He was county clerk of Adams county for four years, and has for several years been prominent in local republican circles. REPEATED EFFORTS MADE Want lllreet Kindlon of United mate Heimtorn. Members of congress from I Nebraska ! receiving many letteiH from their constituents urging them to support the resolution Introduced in the houso providing for tho election of United States senators by u direct vote of thu people, llepeated efforts have bceu made by members of the lower house to bring about au amendment to tluv constitution of the United States tor this purpose. A joint resolution providing for thin, amendment has passed the houso sev eral times, but has always been hurled' in the senatorial graveyard. Appar ently the people of the. various Htutrn. have gotten tired of the arrogance of the senate In refusing to pass such nn amendment, and tv determined effort Is being made to bring about the de sired result In a different way. A provision of the federal constitu tion provides Unit upon tho application' of the legislatures of two-thirds of tho states, congress shall call a convention for the purpose of proposing amend ments, which shall be valid when rati fied by three-fourths of tho states, audi under this provision six states havo- already olllcially untitled congress, through their legislatures, that a con stitutional convention is desired. The states that have filed this official notice aru Idaho, Colorado, Montana,. Nevada, Oregon and Michigan, aiuB thusone-llfth of the states necessary have already compiled with the re quirements of the, constitution calling upon congress to onlera coustltutlonali aiiendineut, and it is expected that many more will be, received as soon an. the numerous legislatures have nn op portunity to take tho matter up. Hate it Hearing. The Gould brothcrs.who are charged with forgeries, embezzlement nnd the wrecking of thu Platto Valley Stuto bank of Dellwood, were arraigned In county court at David City. A. II. Gould, the cashier, waived his prelim inary examination and was held to tho district court. It. C. Gould, assUt annt cashier, entered a plea of not guilty and his hearing Is set for Febru ary 11. Doth were remanded to tho county jail in default of ball. George Gould, who was arrested Monday even ing pleaded not guilty and gave his bond to appear for hearing on Feb ruary 21. He was soon rearrested on complaint made by others and suc ceeded in giving bond for his appear ance. A. II. Gould, the cashier, it is said, will probably plead truilty in district court next week and ask thu leniency of thu court. Hurried Attay I'roin it Mob. Wllls Cooper, who shot and killed William Perry and Mrs. Faraba Itus sell at Amite City, La., was brought to New Orleans hurriedly and lodged in the parish prison to r.wvi being' lynched by an infuriated mob. While a carnival procession was in progress at Amite City, Cooper and Perry renewed a previous difficulty, Perry being the aggressor. Cooper drew his pistol and tired four shots, not only killing Perry, but also Mrs. Russell, an aged woman, who wan witnessing the parade, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. The killing of Mrs. Itusscll created intense indignation and tho sheriff and his deputies had great difliculty in spiriting Cooper away from tho ex cited populace. CongreMiuen Importuned to Support the Mean itro. The question of the repeal of the war tax has not yet been taken up by the house, ulthoifgh the committee on ways and means lias reported u bill recom mending the repeal of the entire tax made necessary at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. The subject will probably be taken up and passed as soon as it can be reached on tho calendar. Members of concress and senators from ull states are being importuned by the bankers throughout their re spective states and districts, to support tho measure recommended by the com mittee. In this connection, Congress man Stark said: "Speaking of tho repeal of the war revenue tax, when the bill was passed imposing these war taxes, it was un derstood that a promise was made then, that tho tax should be repealed. The time to redeem that promise is now, and In my judgment we hnve no more right to impose war taxes to be used for peace purposes than a trustee would have the right to use the money of his ward. It Is to bo observed In the reported bill that the tax on liquors, tobacco, oleomargarine aud mixed flour still remain as they wero prior to the passage of the war revenue bill in 1808." Lynched by Missouri Mob. A special from New Madrid, Mo., nays that a crowd of masked men over powered jailer and took a negro, Louis Wright, a short distance from town and hanged him. Richard fc Pringlc's minstrels gave an entertainment there when an altercation arose between one of the musicians and some of the white town boys. Several of tho boys undertook to tauo ine musician out, when the ne groes on tho stage began to shoot. Sev eral whites in the audience were hit. but no one was seriously hurt. The negroes ran out the back way to their private car, which was soon surround ed by armed men, but no violence was done, owing to the arrival of the town marshal. All the negroes wero put in jail nnd as a result o! anexam (nation the name of the one who did tho shooting was discovered. Ho was lynched and tho others will be re leased. Several of the passersby wero badly beaten Saturday night. BRITISH WERE TRAPPED Twelte onirerit and Men Kim Into nn Ainliimh.

The llritish had two oflleers ami ten men killed ami several oflleers and for ty men wounded before tho force wero able to fall back under cover of a block house. Lord Kitchener, In addition to re porting the Klip river affair, says: "A party from tho South African constabulary line on itho Waterval river encountered February 10 a supe rior force of the enemy near Vnnton dcrsbek and was driven back witli loss." Mrs. DeWet, in an interview held at the Marltsburg concentration ciuup, said that two of her sons were still lighting with their father. She re gretted that the government hud not permitted her to communicate, with her husband, and said she was certain ho would never surrender. Mrs. Do Wet declared she. would rather see her husband die than submit. According to a special dispatch from Pretoria the mountain Infantrymen who were trapped at Klip river were all fresh from homo and unused to Doer tactics. The bulk of the casual tics occurred during thu retreat of the llritish. The killed included Major McDowell, tho commander of the force.
