SWEPT TO DEATH.
Colorado Iklfnni * riiiili * By Mountain
A vnlnnclu : .
The most terrible snowsllde accl
dent ever known Jn Leadville , , Colo
rado , caused the death of from thirty
to seventy-five men at the Li'e'tj '
Hell mine on Smuggler mountain.
Although the scene of the disaster is
scarcely two miles from this town ,
Information Is difficult to obtain cu
account of the precipitous character
af the roads and the vast amount ol
snow. Nearly all the buildngs of the
fjiberty Hell mine were carried down
fcy the slideall the books which show
the number of names of the men
employed being lostso that the death
list can hardly be known for many
hours , possibly not until the rescuers
have removed the immense quantity
"of snow , rocks and logs from the can
yon where the victims lie buried
It seems that two slides occurred
firactically in the same placethe sec
ond burying those who were trying
to rescue the victims of the first.
The first slide occurred at 7:30 o'clock
this morning , while the men of the
day shift were preparing for their
day's work.
j About 200 men are employed in the
JDjines and mills of the Liberty Bell
Company , and less than half of these
were a work at the time cf the acci
dent. The others were in the board-
Ing house or in the bunkhouse nearby.
Both these buildings were carried
jlown the mountain side a distance of
2,000 feet and crushed to kindling
vood by tons of snow. It was 10
o'clock before news of the disaster
jached Telluride. At once a number
) f men started for the scene. Mean
time , the survi-ving employes of the
iLiberty Bell began the work of res-
feu ing the victims of the slide. Sev-
iral were taken outalive.and a dozen
br more bodies were moved from the
snow , which lay piled twenty-feet
jdeep in the bottom of the canyon. A
'little after noon , a second slide , start-
Bug a short distance above the first
md practically f illowing its track ,
gwcpfc down the mountain side , bury
ing many of the rescuers.
A third slide came down at 3
j'clock , about one mile below the
Jberl.y Bell mines , and Gus V < n
Pintel , John Powell and Paul Dalpra ,
{ who were on their return from the
3ne of the catastrophe this morning
rere swept away. Harry Chase lost
jis life at the Liberty Bell , whib as-
iisting in the rescue of the unfor
tunates of the first slide of this morn
ing.

BIG OIL WELL RUNNING WILD.
nt Beaumont Cauuot be Con-
troll , d.
One of the big six-inch oil gushers
of Beaumont , Tex. , was being exhi
bited late this afternoon when it blew
ant the section of pipe connecting
the great valve , and went wild. It
Is throwing a solid stream of oil to-
foight and there will be much diffi
culty in shutting it off. There is a
high wind aud the oil is being blown
sver the fields. Drilling rigs were
ordered shut down and guards are
| > atrolling to prevent any one taking
light into dangerous promixity of
ihe spray from the gusher. It is
estimated that the well is wasting
two thousand barrels of oil an hour.
Foand With skulls Crushed.
Bartel Sweeney of Bid way , Pa. ,
an aged farmer , and his daughter ,
Mary , were found last ni < : hb in their
home at Wilcox with tueir skulls
Crushed and the bodies very much de
composed. Sweeney was quite well-
to-do and the supposition is that rob
bery was the motive.
Mining Kegions in Ferment.
The mining regions of Spain are in

ROB STOCK BROKER.
Former Nebraska Man Made a. Victim at
Denver.
The fact has just b en made public
that J. M. lloughton , of Denver ,
one of the oldest stock brokers of the
state , with offices in the mining ex
change , was robbed of $25,000 worth
of jewelry and stocks which were
seceted in a small box in his office
Mr. lloughton has always preferred
placing his valuables into some nook
in his office , thinking that burglars
would go to the safe for booty and
overlook his secret hiding place. His
friends claim that his real l ss is be
tween fifty and seventy-five thousand
dollars.
The b-irglars apparently watched
Mr. Houghton when he placed tht
small box away and returned at night
and made the raid.
Mr. Houghton came here from Ne-
braka where he was in business for
several years prior to coming here.
cV.s yet there Is no clue to the burglai
or burglars.
DR. BURNETT FOUND GUILTY-
Hold Responsible for Death of Mm. Char
lotte S. Nichols.
The jury in the case of Dr. Orville
S. Burnett , who has been on trial
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Charlotte S Kichol of Nashville ,
Tenn. , returned a verdict of guilty
and recommended that Burnett be
sent to the penitentiary for fifteen
years. Burnett's attorneys will ask
for a new trial tomorrow. The ver
dict was a surprise as Judge Baker's
instructions to the juiy was consid
ered favorable to the defendant.
The case was one of the most an-
usualthat has ever been tried in the
Cook Bounty criminal court. Burn
ett , who is a young oentist , was
charged with being an accessory be
fore and after the act to the death of
Mrs. Nichol , even though It was ad
mitted by the prosecution that Mrs.
Nichol had committed suicide. The
state endeavored to establish the
point that Burnett and Mrs. Nichol
agreed to committ suicide together
and that the man weakened , allow
ing the woman to go to her death
alone.
The defense disputed that there
had been any agreement between the
two to end their lives together and
asserted that Mrs. Nichol had taken
her own life while Burnett was lying
intoxoicatcd at her side.
WINSBERG FOUND GUILTY.
Jury at Dead wood Said H Tried to Kill
Sol I-evison.
The jury has returned a verdict of
guilty against Leo Winsberg , the
young 5ew charged with attempting
to kill Sol Levinson , another Jew , by
shooting. Sentence will be pro
nounced March 7. The shooting oc
curred in Levicson's pawn broker's ;
shop in Dead wood , S. D. , December
4 , 1901 , over the settlement of some
business matters between them. Le
vinson was sitting at his desk and
Winsberg placed a revolver almost ) '
against his left breast and fired , the
ball going through the upper lobe of
the left lung. Levinson dodged be
hind tLe counters and show oases ,
and Winsberg fired three more shots
at him , none taking effect.
Winsberg endeavored at the trial
to establish self-defense. He testified
that Levinson had said he would kill
him and that on the night of the
shioting Levnison threatened to kick
him out. At the same time Levinsor.
stooped down and opened a draw < i
in his desk. Winsberg said he thought
Levinson was getting a revolver , and
that is why he shot him. The de
fendant said he had purchased a r ° -
volver for the purpose of killing h m-
self not caring to live after being
beaten out of all his money , and ha
intended to shoot himself as soon aq
he got out of Levinsoo's place. Le
vinson has fully recovered and waq
the principal witness in the case.

Chicago , March 4. A glare of re i
fire that could be seen for miles , the
blaze of hundreds of torclins , thy
spirkle of myriads of electric lights
and the cheers of thousands of peo
ple made up the lirat taste of Chica
go's hospitality that was given IVmce
Ujnry of Prussa , upon his arrival Ii
this city this evening.
His train arrived at the depot of
the Chicago & Alton railroad at 6:30 :
o'clock and from there , after he had
been formally welcomed by M.iyor
Hairison and the members of the
general reception committee , Prince
Henry rode through streets packed
with a dense multitude , whose cheers
compelled the distinguished visitor
to bow continually to right and left.
The prince arrived in the city at a
time when the street were thronged
to the utmost , it being the hour
when many thousands of people were
leaving their places of business for
ihe day , and of all these people it
seemed that nearly every one walked
over to Jackson boulevard to await
the arrival of the prince. For the
entire distance the sidewalks were
silidly massed with people so closely
packed that it was with the greatest
difficulty that the line of policemen
drawn up in front of the curb for
the entire distance , could restrain
the people from crowding over into
the street and encroaching upon the
line of carriages.
WELCOMK MOST FLATTERING.
No more flattering welcome could
have been extended any visitor , and
it came not so much from the offic
ials of the city as from its citizens.
Every building along the line of his
route , from the depot to the Audi
torium hotel , was traily decked with
banting , the prevailing scheme being
ttie . meric.m uud German flags in-
t : rfwined , with the black eagle of
Prussia over all. Many of the ouild-
t&KS had upon their fronts elaborate
devices made up of hundreds of elec
tric lights. There were "Welcomes"
by the dozen ; there were eagles and
flags , and there were strings of gay-
colored lights almost without num
ber. ! No hint of the decorations in
electric light decorations was given to
the prince until his carnage had
rolled over Jackson boulevard bridge ,
and was descending the gentle slope' '
that leads toward Michigan avenue.
Then almost in the same second the
lights were turned on , and what had
been but one second before a lane be
tween dark towering buildings , was
an avenue of dazzling light. The
torch-hearers , who were German vet
eran soldiers , lit the torches at al- .
most the same instant and from one
end of the boulevard , between the.
%
bridge and Michigan nvenue , two-
thirds of a mile away , there was an
Instantaneous blaze of red fire from
both sides of the street.
For thirty minutes before the time
set for the arrval of the train at the
depot , every passageway leading Into
the building was lined with police
men standing elbow to elbow and
officers guarded every point from the
rear platform of the train to the line ]
of carriages.
The train stopped with the last car
in which Prince Henry rode opposite
the main gate of the depot.
GREETED BY THE MAYOR.
Awaiting its arrival , Mayor Harri
son and the members of the reception
committee had been standing for fif-
been minutes. The German ambassa-
3or , Baron von Holleben , was the
first to alight and was greeted at once
by Dr. Walter Wever , the Imperial
Gferman consul in Chicago. Dr. Wev-
3r was then presented by Baron von
Holleben to Prince Henry , and Dr.
Wever presented to the pr irce Mayor
Rarrisjn , who formally received the
visitors on behalf of the city of Chi
cago.
Prince Henry bowed his acknowl
edgements of Mayor Harrison's greet
ing , saying simply , "I thank you. "
Mayor Harrisonthen introduced to
the prince the committee of the com
mon council and members of the gen
eral reception committee. The suite
3f the prince and the members of the
reception committee then mingled
ind introductions followed
The mayor and the prince followed
t > y the others , then passed through
ihe large arched gateway and up the
stairs into the street. A dense
throng filled the street and the side-
Evalks for a square in either direction
ind ringing cheers nlled the air as
Lhe prince passed between the lines
jf blue-coated officers and emerged
apon the sidewalk , at the edge of
irhich his carriage stood in waiting.

MOB TRIES TO RULE.
Strike Sy i | Ht' r.irat Norfolk , Vn. ,
Ural 1'olice.
Norfolk Ya. March 5. A mob ol
600 strike sympathizers thronged the
streets of Nurfolic today on which the
main line of the Norfolk Railway and
Light Company's cars are run and
the police are unable to cope with it
from noon until dark , when the
cars , which were guarded by detach
ments of military aud had run with
difficulty all day , were housed in the
barns.
In the county where the barns are
the military was in control of the
situation. Cars were repeatedly de-
riiled , wagon lo .ds of stones were
piled on the tracks and free fights
beU-een the military guards and the
crowd occurred during the day at fre
quent intervals.
In one difficulty a sergeant ran a
b-iyonet into the arm of H. H. Har-
mansef , a barber. Mrs. Harmausef ,
who was standing by her husband at
the time , knocked the sergeant to
the ground with b ith fists and dis
colored the face of Lieutenant Gale ,
who was near her. Several soldiers
were struck by missiles thrown
through the windows or the cars , A
prrat many arrests have been made ,
both by the police and military.
A conference was held today by
Mayor Beaman , Police Chief Veltines
and Colonel Higgins , commanding
the Seventy-first Virginia regiment ,
eight companies of which are in ser
vice , relative to placing the city un
der martial law.
The police force of 100 men has
been on duty for forty-eight hours
and is unable to meet the emergency.
It Is possible that the four additional
companies of the regiment and a bat
tery of artillery will be called for in
the morning to take charge of the
city.
Shoot * W fe , Kill * . Him elf.
Sargent , Neb. , March5. The town
of Taylor , eight miles north of here ,
was the scene of4 shocking tragedy ;
last night , the result of which is that
Ira. J. Lundy is dead and his wife
wounded , with very slight chance for
her recovery.
MrLundy was living at her home
with her little boy. Lundy had not
lived with his wife for over a year ,
owing to domestic differences. It
seems that he suspected her of im
proper conduct with a man named
Sregg , which suspicion is believed to
have been groundless. Lundy saw
Gregg in town the day of the shoot-
Ing and at once grew restless. Ho
bad shot off a revolver one night pre
vious near his wife's home , but peo
ple thought he did it merely to
frighten her. About 9:30 last even
ing some more shots were heard and.
Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Shutt , living
nenr by , went to investiagte. They
were shocked upon opening the door
to find Lund ? dead and his wife near
ly so. No doctors being in the town
of Sargent , Burwell doctors were sent
for. At 10 oclock this morning Mrs.
Lundy was still alive , but there is
slight chance for her recovery.
In all five shots were fired , three
took effect in Mrs. Lundy and two
in Lundy. Mrs. Lundy was shot in
the back and face and Lundy in the
breas.t. When Lundy turned the re
volver on himself he killed himself
Instantly. Lundy and his wife were
middle aged people with three grown
children.

bert T. Patrick. He testified yesterI I
day that the disputed signatures

Rice. To ? ay Robert M. Moore , of ;
Patrick's counsel , showed the v/itness i
some conceded signatures which he
said resembled more closely the dis- ,
puted signatures than those put in i
evidence by the prosecution and the j
witness said it was true ihat in some ,
of them the "shaded down strokes"
and other mannerism of Mr. Rice's
writing were lacking.

FINDS A SNOW CLAD CITY.
Prince Henry's first view of Boston
was of a snow clad city upon which
there shone a sun from a clear sky.
Hutdreds of workmen were busy at
daylight clearing the streets through
which the prince and his party were
to pass and by 8 o'clock the route was
ID excellent condition , the thorough
fares had been roped off and details
of police were at their stations.
The bad storm of yesterday had
Impaired the decorations , but it did
not take long today to repair the
damage and nearly the entire route
through the city was brilliant with
color before the prince arrived. Ger
man flags of red , white and black
predominated in many places over
the red , white and blue.
Long before the special train was
due crowds began to assemble in the
neighborhood of the Great South sta
tion and extended along the stieets
assigned for the passage of the pro
cession.
The mayor , with his secretary and
several of the city officials reached
South station shortly after 9 o'clock.
The First battalion of cavalry , one
of the best of Massachusetts' volun
teer troops , had been drawn up in
the station ready for escort duty. A
dozen open carriages were in waiting
to convey the prince and his party tc
Hotel Somerset , their first stopping
place in this city.
Near the carriages a battalion ol
the Massachusetts naval brigade was
drawn up , ready to assume duty as
guard of honor as the prince and bis

detail was a band. The train was
made up of two engines and seven

and introduced to Prince Henry.
Colonel Bingham , military aide of
President Roosevelt , led the way in
to the big station , where the cavalry
was lined up at attention. Then folj
lowed Rear Admiral Evans , Prince
Henry , Assistant Secretary of State
Hill and Mayor Collins. Other mem

Crowds which had come in on local
trains and which rilled the waiting
rooms cheered as soon as they caught
sight o the party coming from the
train. The prince raise J his hat in
acknowledgement of the greeting.
Several minutes were occupied in
escorting the visitors to their carri
ages. That of the prince was placed
at the head of the line. The prince
and Admiral Evans , who were in full
uniform , were cheered at every step
of their short walk to their carriage
and Prince Henry acknowledged the
greetings by saluting.
As the line of carriages moved out
of the driveway at the end of the
station the immense crowd outside
began t ; cheer , and the procession
made it ? way through the throngs of
persons making most hearty demon
strations of welcome.
Each carriage was accompanied by
