Munitions Carrying
Schooner Captured
By U. S. Destroyers
San Diego, Cal., April 11. A munitions-carrying
schooner bound for a
Mexican west coast port was fired
upon and captured by two United
States torpedo boat destroyers, it was
learned here tonight from authorita
tive sources. Five shots were fired
at the vessel when it attempted to
escape, it is said, and the ship was
then beached. Several thousand
rounds of rifle and machine gun am
munition, it was stated, was taken
aboard the destroyers and landed at a
Pacific coast port.
It is known that the destroyers have
been scouting for a supposed muni
tions smuggling ship for more than a
week. Monday, according to reports,
the patrol boats sighted the schooner,
which was south bound off the coast
of California and following a course
inshore. The warships gave chase
and when the captain of the schooner
Mv that capture was inevitable he is
reported to have attempted to destroy
his vessel.
Refusing to heed signal calls to
stop, the skipper steered for shore and
beached the schooner. Five shots, the
report says, were fired at the ship be
fore it piled up on the beach. The
identity of the captain and crew of
the schooner has not been revealed.

HUMPBACKED MULE
IN PANICJT BLAZE
Refuses to Be Rescued and
Has to Be Carried From
Merchants Express Barn.
190 HORSES ENDANGERED
A humpbacked mule, terrorized by
the fireat the Omaha Merchants Ex
press company, Fourteenth and Leav
enworth streets early last evening,
greatly impeded volunteers in the sav
ing of 190 horses. After being
started to safety, the mule lay down
on the floor several times and finally
had to be carried out.
The fire is supposed to have started
in a wagon on the first floor filled
with wall paper. The horses were on
the second floor. When it was dis
covered, the entire barn was filled
with smoke. Three alarms were turn
ed in.
Lead Horses Out.
Before fire departments had ar
rived, a volunteer force of nearly
fifty men were already leading the
frantic horses to safety. A number
of the panic stricken animals bolted
back into the smoke-filled barn and
were recaptured and brought out only
after sacks had been thrown over
their heads.
Charles Gernandt, fireman from
truck No. 1, Nineteenth and Harney
streets, was kicked by a horse in the
left leg above the knee, while leading
one of the horses. He was attended
by Police Surgeon Nigro.
The fire loss was small and the
horses were returned to their stalls as
soon as the smoke had cleared from
the barn.
Commissioner Walter Tardine is one
ot the largest owners ot the company.
University of Omaha Students
Are Raising Military Company
University of Omaha students are
raising a military company. The most
active part is being taken by John
Talliaferro and Perry Allerton of
Council Bluffs. At the present time
four- fifths of the male attendance at
the university is composed of grad
uates of the Omaha High school. As
these students have all had four years
of drill it will be an easy matter for
them to raise the company of soldiers.
The company will contain several
former officers of the high school
regiment. John Talliaferro and fcu
gene Simmons held the offices of cap
tain; Reed Zimmerman was a major
and John Jenkins had a staff office.
There are enough minor officers to
supply all corporals, sergeants and
lieutenants. No definite work has been
done as to drills and other details.
The company will have its own
signal corps and hospital corps in ad
dition to its engineering forces. In
the company there will be electricians,
chemists, doctors, surveyors and
mathematicians, as well as many
other branches.
