Chief of Fallen McCnshtand Anxlon
to llntf Vlnnrnnn Mcaaurea Taken
to 1'rnlir Strange Attack at
Miles Home,
OIIAND ISLAND, Neb'., Oct. 20. (Special.)
-At an adjourned regular meeting of the
tlty council Inst evening Chief of Police
McCashland made tho request that a To
ward bo offered for the apprehonslon and
conviction of tho person or persons who
tommltted the crime at the homo of Frank
W. Mile Inst Wednesday night. It was
reported by Mr. Miles that he had been
.wakened by noise In tho room at 3 o'clock
In the morning; that ho had been struck
bn tho head and daxeel for some minutes
and that later, when he went to get tip, acid
was thrown In his face. As the story was
given, he did not know what this was, and
Dursued the two burglars In tho room, fol
lowing them into his yard, shooting twlco at
them there, and following them Into the
alley, shooting three times more as they
fled.
Chief McCashland stated that there were
several theories as to the crime. There Is
no clue to any burglars. Whatever the
real facts were, he suggested that a re
ward of ISO be offered by the city and that
the county board bo asked to give a Ilka
mount. After tome discussion the council
unanimously decided to offer a reward of
1100 and that tho county board bo asked
.to make a llko offer. Those members of
the latter body who have been consulted
In the matter have expressed themselves
s very favorable to the action.
Mrs. Miles' face was very badly burned
by the acid nnd Mr. Miles received a welt
on tho head, from which he still suffers
ome. 1
VOLCANO IS WAKING UP AGAIN
tranae Phenomenon Alonn the Mil-
aourl Mver Observed After tiring
Dormant for Yours.
PONCA, Neb.. Oct. 20. (Special.) Men
tion of the so-called Ionia volcano having
aroused some curiosity regarding this
trangc phenomenon of nature, a few facts
regarding tho matter may be 6f Interest,
especially to thoso of tho younger genera
tion and othors who have not lived In thlB
locality a great many years.
At Ionia, about twelve miles above Ponca
on the south bank of the Missouri river, Is
n bluff about 160 feet In height. In tho
early days It Is said that hollow sounds
could bo heard underneath this bluff by
placing tho ear to the ground. Flames
were seen to leap forth occasionally, es
pecially nt night, when they could be seen
the more easily. Steam also escaped from
.numerous crevices and where openings
were made the heat became too Intense to
proceed further. A stick placed in one of
these crevices would burst into a flamo
almost Instantly and the temperature of
some portions of the Interior was suf
ficient to raise them to a red heat.
According to Huso's History of Dixon
County this remarkable burning mound was
noticed by Lewis and Clark on their famous
expedition up the Missouri and they men
tion that the phonomonon bad been known
to the tribes along the river from time
Immemorial and was regarded with much
superstitious fear. Evil manltous were
supposed to dwell In the sulphurous fires
and many legends In which they were al
luded to were handed down from one gen
eration to another and lost none of their
Interest by the transition nor by tho vivid
Imagination of tho narrators.
Of course It Is well known that this Is
In no sense a real volcano. The rock at
this point Is said to be composed mainly
of carbonate of lime through which aro
mixed Innumerable crystals of bl-sulphldc
of Iron or Iron pyrites. The Internal fires
were caused by the decomposition of tho
Iron pyrites and the carbonate of Iron and
other substances.
This Interesting spot attracted wide at
tention about a quarter of a century ago
and. was visited by many noted scientists
nnd tourists. But the wonderment ceased,
for In 187S tho Missouri river undermined
that part of the bluff which had been on
fire and It slid down Into tho turbid waters,
quenching Its (lro forever. E. E. Warner,
who was :k 'by and witnessed the land
elide, told recently that It produced a
great nolso nnd waves flfteeu feet high
lushed the river banks for a number of
minutes after the side of the bluff gave
way.
The report comes -by way of tho South
Dakota sldo of the river that a patty of
Klk Point picnickers were exploring that
region a few weeks ago and witnessed
signs of tho revival of this natural rurl
oslty In tho wny of lurid flames leaping
from the sldo of the bluff, near the top, at
long Intorvals of time. Old residents din
claim any knowledge of such manifesta
tions and are Inclined to attribute tho
vision to the overwrought Imagination of
the Elk Pointers. Still tho samo conditions
no doubt exist In tho remaining portion of
the hill which caused the heat and flro In
that part which slid Into the river In 1S78,
nnd It would not bo unreasonable to sup
pose, In due course of time, the famous
old hill may be smoking and steaming
again.

MITCHELL. S. D Oct. 20.-MSpeclal.)
"The record In banking for tho last four
years In South Dakota tells something of
the marvelous prosperity that has come to
our peoplo and evidences the substantial
basis on which our Industrial enterprises
are founded," said George A. Sllsby of
this city, national bank examiner for South
Dakota. ,
"In October, 1897, It Is presumed that
deposits In banks had again become nor
mal, after the depressing perlocTfrom 1893
to 1898, and a comparison of deposits for
tho twonty-Ove national tanks .doing busi
ness In tho state for October 1, 1897, nnd
October 1, 1901, makes a splendid showing.
No doubt a similar report from tho nearly
200 state and private banks and now na
tional banks organized since 1897 In thy
stato would give tho same general Increase.
On October 1. 1897. the total do-
CosltH of twenty-five natlonnl
anks was J4.493.726.2l
On October 1. 1P01, tho totnl de
posits of twenty-tlve national
banks was ..,.. 8,118,277.33
Increase during the four years
named amountx to 3,621,531.14
This makes an average gain of
the twenty-tlve banks of 114,982.03
"Thus wo sec," continued Mr. Sllsby,
"that In a brief period of four years the
twenty-five national banks In the stato had
nearly doubled their deposits, making an
Increase of over 84 per cent In that time.
"A little over a year ago the total de
posit In all the banks of the state amounted
to about 113,000,000. Applying the same
ratio of Increase to all tho banks that
has obtained' with tho national s banks
the deposit In the stato banks would reach
the splendid sum of 124,000,000 at the same
date, 1. e., October 1, 1901 a record of
which wo may well bo proud."

DISCLOSURE TERMINATES A DIVORCE SUIT
"Willie" Wnllnce Censes to lie an
AnKrnvatlnn to Sir. tinker After
the Secret of Ycara
Coiiieii Ont.
HARRISBURO. Neb., Oct. 20. (Special
Telegram.) District court has been In ses
sion for two days with Judgo Grimes ou
the bench. The most Important caso on
the docket was the divorce caso of Baker
against Baker. In this case Mrs. Baker
sued for divorce and her husband filed a
cross-petition, setting forth the unfaithful
ness of his wlfo and naming as co-respondent
one William J. Wallace, a former resi
dent of this county. Developments before
tho caso camo to trial resulted In the re
union of tho husband and wife, for Wil
liam J. Watlaco proved to be a woman, who
masqueraded hero for a period of flvo years
In male attlrc.
The community rejoices over the happy
termination of what promised to bo a bitter
and sensational case. Tho career of Wal
taco In this county began eight or nine
years ago, when an old gentleman named
Rccp, together with ono who assumed to
bo his nephew, W. J. Wallace, and also
his nephew's wife, arrived In this county
and engaged In ranching. From their gen
eral appcaranco It was evident that tbey
had been used to better living, giving every
evidence of refinement and culture. How
over, little notice was taken of that fact,
for Mr. Wallace, tho beardless young man,
was reputed to be given to dissipation.
Ho would drink, It was told, go about with
tho boys and could both smoko and chew
tobacco.
"Willie" the Mnllmnn.
Mr. Recp was appointed postmaster of an
offlco established by hlrasolf and "Willie"
securod tho contract of conveying tho mail
from thcro to Harrlsburg, twenty-two
miles, making two trips a week, winter
and summer, for about four years. Soon
It was rumored that he was not as faithful
to his wife as the average man, and his
name became linked with several somewhnt
questionable affairs. He would openly
boasti of hlB conquests and on one oc
casion Is aa Id to have been beaten almost
Insensible by a man who, charged that unduo
attention was shown his wlfo by "Willie."
However, Willie mannged to hide his Iden
tity so completely that when they left here
two years ago not a suspicion was enter
tained that he was other than a fellow
who had no thought of the future and
even now thero are people In this com
munity who cling to thnt belief.
But the proof Is Indisputable and tho
evidence Is at hand. Tho object of his
Impersonation Is n mystery, although It Is
claimed by some that It Is the result of a
wager. Others claim It was made to cover
up some secret sin. That Wallace Is a
woman there is no doubt: that he suc
cessfully carried out his disguise Is also
a fact.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20. John Flanagan,
tho champion hammer thrower, In his
efforts for championship honors nt tho track
and field games of the Greater Now York
Irish Athletic association, made a new
world's record In throwing tho flfty-slx-
pound weight a dtstnuco of thirty-six feet
ntne and n half Inches. Tho best previous
record wns tlilrty-flve feet ten Inches,
held by J. S. Mitchell. By winning this
event Flanagan now holds all heavyweight
athletic records, with ono exception, nnd
that Is throwing the (lfty-slx-pound weight
for height, n task nt which Mitchell scorns
to bo capable of beating nny othor aspirant
to championship honors.
Arthur F. Duffy, tho champion sprinter,
failed to appear In the 100-yard dash, the
final of which was won by S. Nay of tho
new West Side Athletic club, with an al
lowance of ten yards, In ten and one-fifth
seconds. Jerry I'lcrce, tho Seneca Indian,
entered from tho Pastlmo Athletic club for
the thrcc-mlle run. The handlcappcr
treated him none too leniently, as he had
to concede nenrly a full lap to most of
his opponents. II. A. Voorblcs won thli
event by twenty yeards, having had an al
lowance of 250 yards, nnd Pierce finished
six Inches behind II. Goldberg, who had
thirty-five yards. Pierce was third, after
wearing down all of the rest of tho field, and
ran on, accompanied by tbrco good
sprinters, In nn attempt to break the flvc-
mllo running record, but gave up after
traversing four miles and a quarter.
Peter O'Connor, tho world's champion
Jumper, wns one of tho contestants In the
broad Jump handicap, but he had not fully
recovered from his accident nt Travcrs
Island two weeks ago and tho best ho could
do wns twenty-one feet flvo nnd a half
Inches.
Tho hurdling contest between John Daly
of Brooklyn nnd John Irclnnds of New
York was called a draw, owing to dark
ness, hoth sides being equal when tho
rcforee decided that It was too late to con
tlnuo tho game.
