Mr. Riley was peculiarly sensitive
as to the advance of age and evaded

Riley," a lawyer and political speaker
of Greenfield, Ind. The boy could not
be brought to the dull routine of
?chool days, "but he was wise in th?
lore of streams and fields. His motner,
who was Elizabeth iMarine "before
her mariage, was a writer of verse
and Riley in later life attributed some
of bis impracticability to her.
Instead of preparing for the practice
of law, as-his fattier wished, th?
t
son turned itinerant sign painter. For
ten years he roved through the Ohio
valley, painting signs on fences. He
had the trick of the brush and pencil
and cleverly drew sketches illustrating
the virtues of merchandise. He
was naturally musical and shone as a
! frriHlor in the. villages at. whi<Vh hia
party stopped at night. He played
for dances and at concerts in country
hotels. He wrote rhymes, which
sometimes found their way into country
newspapers
*He led this cheerful, free and easy
life late in the '70s, then he took employment
as a reporter on a newspaper
at Anderson, Ind. In 1877, for
the purpose, as he said, of proving
that he -could write poetry of value,
he perpetrated the Poe hoax, which
for years was a literary sensation.
He wrote a poem in the style of Edgar
'Allen Poe, to whic-h he gave the
I characteristic title of "Leonanie," and
it was offered to the public as a hitherto
unpublished product of the
j genius of Poe. One of the stanzas
was: ,
"Leonanie?angels named her,
Anl they took the light
Of the laughing stars and framed her
,In a smile of white.
And they made heh hair of
gloomy
Midnight and her eyes of bloomy
Moonshine and they brought her
to me, .
In the solemn night."
. In some quarters the poem was aci
cepted as geniune; in others it was
denounced as a fraud. After the controversy
had waged for months Riley
confessed.
In the early '80s he began writing
verses in "Hoosier" dialect for the
old Indianapolis Journal. He sent
some of his poems to Henrv Wads
worth Longfellow and they received
his praise. A volume was published
and "the Hoosier poet" began to win
public favor. He was an excellent
reader of his own dialect verses and
for the flowing 15 years, or until
1898, he made tours of the country,
appearing in public with great success
both alone and in association
with the humorist. Bill Nye, who was
his intimate friend.
Publication of books of poems yea?
after year brought Riley a fortune
ana wiae recognition or nis memrv
genius and not only in the genre form.
Many of his poems are of imaginative
fantasy of gentle philosophic.
In 1902 he received the degree of
master of arte from Yale university

Cleveland, Ji:ly 2.".?Federal ofTi- j
cials investigating the waterworks,
tunnel disaster which cost 22 lives;
late todav ordered all attempts to j
reach the bodies of V2 men in the;
tunnel abandoned until tomorrow J
Tests of the gas in the tunnel showed I
that it was highly explosive and the
officials feared a second explosion.
An attempt will be made to pump ?ui
the gas so that the work of recovering
the bodies may progress.
All hopes that any of 12 men trapped
in the tunnel were i alive was
abandoned today' Ten bodies, those
of members of two rescue parties
which tried to reach the doomed men
but themselves succumbed to the
deadly gas, were recovered today.
Bight injured men, also members 01
the rescue parties, will recover.
Four investigations, city, county,
State and federal, will be started to-1
morrow to determine the cause of the!
explosion.
Tiie egorts of Gustav . Van Dnzen. '
superintendent of waterworks con- j <
struction, and the members of the two 1
rescue parties to reach the men im- '
prisoned without gas helmets or pul- :
moters increased the death list. This
afternoon the third rescue party >
equipped with the safety devices en- (<
tereo the tunnel ana recovered the J
rescurers, two of whom were dead.
Van Duzen was among the rescuers i
revived. <
Headed by D. J. Parker and L. M.
Jones of the United States bureau ol <
mines, who arrived here from Pitts- <
burgh with the mine rescue car, the ]
third party of rescuers penetrated 2<H; 1
feet into the wrecked tunnel from
the crib end. They could see at the j
far end of the tunnel that a large 1
cavein had occurred, but did not make <
a complete investigation, i
According to the federal investigators,
.the electric wiring in the tun- n
eel was faulty. After they had en- j
tered the tunnel with the rescue party ]
they ordered the electric power shm
off. They would not venture an opin-j
ton as to the cause of the explosion, |
but most of those concerned with the i
disaster helieve that one of the unfortunate
men probably plunged his
pick into a large pocket of gas which
caused the explosion. Others believe
a -crossed light wire caused the dis
aster.

Sprinkle 'borax freely under sinks,

is made of one part .borax and.
three parts soap. It makes your

Fourth Texas Infantry, commanding
officer at Alpine, regarding!
the death of Col. Butler, is as follows:
"Answering your telegram request-j
ing further details regarding the
death of Col. Eutler, will state Co. i
Butler was sitting with me and other
officers and citizens in front of the
hotel about 8:45 p. m., July 20, when
Mr. and Mrs. Spannell drove up in
their car, Mr. Spannell driving and
Mrs. Spannell occupying the rear seat. !
"Mr. Spannell called Col. Butler, to j
the car, reached back and opened the
rear door, asked Col. Butler to take
the seat with iMrs. Spannell. Col.
Butler did so and the car immediatel>
drove off around the corner of the
hotel.
'After the car had proceeded about
600 yards into the residential part of
the town Mr. Spannell shot and killed
both Col. Butler and Mrs. Spannell,
Sring several shots into each one. He
then walked to the jail and surrendered
to the sheriff. Just how the ?"
killing was done can not be positively '*
stated as there seem not to have been
mv witnesses present. Col. and Mrs.
Butler lived at the Holland "hotel here,
and both associated freely With Mr.
ind Mrs. Spannell, proprietors of the
notel.
"Both couples took frequent drives
in the auto of the Spannells in tho
evenings.
"Mr. Spannell seems to have been of
extremely jealous disposition. It is
stated that he had frequent disagreements
with his wife, who was a great
beauty.
"The general opinion here is that
Mrs. Spannell has never given her
husband any just cause for his jealousy
and the unanimous opinion ib
that -Col. Butler was absolutely inno
