Two of those liurt may die. The

When this was refused he took
V-tlie missile from under his cont and
:vhurlcd it a!. Mr. Rushtou. A slight
ilire followed the explosion and ten
jams in the Bullitt building, in which
yhr l-auk is located, fled from their
i'olliees. The police were quickly on
.|h:uid and they placed iho vaulis ami
•Silk- sccuiities of the institution under
uuier a heavy gaatd. The body of
cashier was badly mangled and
liii' bomb thrower himself was blown
'•.to fragments. The only clue to the
ii.iciitiiy of the bomb thrower was a
bunch (if keys found in a portion of
the clothing, attached to which was a
plate inscribed 'R. Steele, Gainer,

ihe crowded building and the street.
Interior of Room Devastated. .*•
.At lite Lime the explosion occurred
all [he vaults were open, books were
.j ii. on desks and papers of all sorts
Hit' value were lying 011 desks prepara
tory to being put away for the day.
Tim explosion devastated the interior
jcf Hie big banking room. Glass and
.wooden partitions were wrecked and
leveled to the ground as though a
cyclone had swept through the place.
olJ.'sks were ruined and iron bars were
V.twisted, in fact there was hardly an
subject left intact in the room.
The explosion blew every one in the
..banking room to tile floor and for a
moment they were dazed. Many of
?:i!ieni, not knowing what had hap
.pined and fearing that the building,
:"«hich is an eight-story structure, was
falling, made a rush for the door, Mr.
fRushton among them. The roar of
the explosion brought the tenants oil
all floors to their feet and a general
rush was made to the elevators and
the stairways.
Not only is the entire inteiior cf
the bank wrecked, but the large win
dows looking out on a small side street
were blown our,. The explosion scat
tered all the books and papers of the
institution that were not in the vaults
a' the time. Some of them were
i.blown out of the windows and were
^returned by those who found them. It
probably will take days before tlie
bank officials are able to tell lio\v
'..any of the valuable documents in
tlie bank's custody were destroyed, as
tlie whole place was strewn with torn

RH,RTY
WORKMEN KILLID.
ctims Were Rescuer* Attempting to
Save Two Comrades.
Uingen, Ilesse, Jan. 5.—Forty work
men were buried in the cutting of a
new railway line between Lamscheid
nnd I.einingen. The dead bodies of
thirteen of the men and fifteen in
jured workmen have been recovered.
An embankment had collapsed, bury
ing two men. To rescue them large
parties of other laborers employed
along the line were immediately set
to work and a wide pit was dug in
which were about fifty men when the
overhanging hillside fell, burying
forty of the laborers under masses of
earth.
Those who were not buried began to
dig out their comrades, while messen
gers were sent to nearby villages ask
ing for help. Several physicians and
a largo force of workmen were sent
to the scene of the disaster from Bop
pard and other towns. The rescue
work, which was continued through
out. the night, was dangerous owing
to the possibility of fresh masses of
earth falling on the laborers. Most
of the workmen killed were young
men. Among the injured are three
children. It is probable that there are
still fifteen
bodies beneath the fallen
earlh.

re­
port that the board of foreign affairs
has under consideration whether or
not to decline the fund that is now
being raised in the United States for
the relief of the people in China's
famine stricken provinces. If the fund
is declined it would be in retaliation
for the declination of the Chinese sub
scriptions that were offered in aid of
the sufferers from the San Francisco
earthquake and fire.
FAVORITE OF CZAR
GENERAL VON OER LAUNITZ, PRE­
FECT OF POLICE, SLAIN AT
ST PETERSBURG.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 3.—Major Gen
eral von der Launitz, prefect of police
of St. Petersburg, was shot and killed
by a young man
at the Institute of
Experimental Medicine during
the
aft­
ernoon.
You der Launitz, at the invitation of
Prince Peter Alexandrovitch, brother
in-law of the emperor, was attending
the consecration of the institute
chapel. During the
services and while
mingling with several high
officials the
prefect of police was approached from
behind by a young man, who drew a
revolver and shot him in
the base of
the brain. Von def Launitz fell for
ward and died in two minutes. As
the assassin turned to flee
one
of
present
the
drew his saber, cut
him down and killed him.
Vladimir von der Launitz came of
an
old family of the German nobility in
the Baltic provinces. He served with
distinction during the Turkish
war
of
1S87-8, was decorated for bravery and
in addition to holding
the rank of
major general was one of the equerries
of the court.
Previous to his appoint­
ment as prefect of police In January,
190I, Von der Launitz was governor of
Tambov for three years. He
stood
high in tlie favor of the emperor, who
last spring issued a special rescript
thanking him for maintaining
order in
St. Petersburg. Though Von der Lau
nitz acted with severity
against the
revolutionists he was not especially
execrated personally like the late Gen
eral Trepoff.
MAY RELEASE BONDSMEN.
Papers in Dougherty Case at Peoria,
III., Stolen.
Peoria, 111., Jan. 7— Some time dur
ing the night the safety vault
at the
public library was blown open and all
records of the N. C. Dougherty case
were stolen and afterwards burned in
the furnace in the building. Dougherty
is now in the Joliet penitentiary and
the destruction of these
records may
be the means of releasing his bonds
men. The police have no clue to the
perpetrators, but believe it to have
been the work of expert cracksmen,
assisted by
some one familiar with the
building.
Only documents which bear on the
Dougherty scandal case were taken.
Some papers belonging to the
secre­
tary were confiscated and $95 in money
stolen.

NEAR VOLLAND, KAN.
Mistake of Operator Sends Two Heavy
Passenger Trains Together Headort,
a Number of Coaches Being Reduced
to Wreckage—Flames Follow Col­
lision and Many Imprisoned Passen­
gers Are Cremated.
Topcka, Kan., Jan. 2.—One of the
most disastrous wrecks in the history
of the Rock Island railway
But few trainmen were injured. The
engineers and firemen of both trains
and most of the trainmen jumped in
time to save themselves.
Telegraph Operator Responsible.
Blame for the collision seems lo
rest upon John Lynes, the telegraph
operator at Volland, who disappeared
but was captured later. Orders had
been issued for No. 29 and No. 30 to
pass at Volland. These orders had
been sent to the operator at Volland,
who was instructed to hold No. 2D
of Volland.
Lynes fled
at
that point, it is stated he for some
reason failed to deliver the order to
the crew of No. 2!) and the latter train
went by, meeting No. 30 a few niile3
west
before the wreck
oc­
curred after first forecasting the im
pending collision. Five minutes be
fore the trains met he called up the
dispatcher and wired him as follows:
"No. 2!) has gono and I have gone
also."
Then he left his key. Even with
this dispatch in hand there was no
possible
way of preventing the wreck.
Both trains were heavy ones, having
ten cars each, including Pullman
sleepers and tourists, chair cars and
coaches,
smokers and baggage cars.
No. 29 was crowded to the doors with
passengers, but the number of travel
ers on No. 30
was not large.
ALL NEGRO TROOPS GO
COLORED REGIMENTS OF INFAN­
TRY AND CAVALRY ORDERED

ninth and Thirtieth infantry. The

cavalry and the Ninth, Thirteenth,
Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Nineteenth
Infantry.
It was stated by Major General Bell,
chief of staff, (hat the negro regiments
are being sent
to the Philippines be­
cause it is their turn to go and not
because of any desire to get them out
of the United States at this time.

No. 2F', southbound, and No. 30, north
bound, collided headon while traveling
at
a high rate of speed. The brunt
®f the collision was sustained by No.
20, which was heavily laden with pas
sengers. The cars on this train went
into the ditch and several of them
caught fire and were consumed. Four
white men, a negro porter and thirty
Mexican laborers lost their lives and
fifty-five persons

Knocks Out Jag Wagons.
One of the effects of the national

Western side of the Red river with
their daily supply of joy juice. The
traffic of the jag wagon" constitutes
interstate commerce, and as a conse
quence tlie drinkables which it carries
to its patrons become subject to the
provision of the national pure food
law. One of the requirements of the

find themselves handicapped because
of the new law. They have not. re
celved a supply of labels, and then
there is son.e doubt whether or not the
"booze" which comes to Fargo via the
Red would be able to meet the rigid
requireiiii uts of governmental inspec
tlon. There is a dearth also of labels
for cases of beer, and until the arrival
