OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 5.—Great excitement prevails in northeastern Nebraska over the pursuit of Arthur Sloan, who killed his stepfather and brother, and seriously wounded his mother, near Blair. The murderer was thought to be located in a barn on the premises of the murdered people. A large crowd, armed with Win- chesters, surrounded the building and riddled it with bullets. It was believed to be dangerous to approach the barn be- cause the murderer was thought to be armed, but there was no reply to the shots. The murderer had either fled or was saving his ammunition. Finally, half a dozen farmers made a rush for the barn, entered it and searched every part, but could not find Sloan. He is now sup- posed to be in the woods. Boulanger’s Boisterous Funeral.

An Explosion of Fire Damp Caused the Accident About Leaving After a Day’s Work—Six Badly Burned. Just- as the Men Were MAHANOY CITY, Pa, Oct. 5.—Fourteen miners were entombed in the Richardson colliery by an explosion of fire damp. The men had finished their day’s labor and were, about to leave the gangway and be hoisted to the surface when in some un- accountable manner an explosion occurred. The news spread like wildfire and a large crowd flocked to the mine, but no one was able to gain any information as to the cause or who were the victims. Two Bodies Found. The men were all imprisoned, and not until the rescuing party had worked for several hours were they able to reach any of the unfortunates, who were cut off from the world by the fall of a pillar that brought down with it hundreds of tons of top rock. Eight of the victims were finally reached, but two of them were dead; they had been buried under the coal. Six had been badly burned by the explosion. Searching for Others. There are still six men entombed who are being searched for, but it is not be- lieved that they will be rescued alive. It was first stated that thirty-seven more had 'been killed, but this was soon proved false by the officials of the company, who posted bulletins stating that there are now but six more in the mines, but the bulletins add it is doubtful if they can be recovered alive. The colliery is only a few miles from here, but excitement runs high and the officials, all hard at work, refuse to give' any details. Some of the Victims. The latest from the scene of the disaster is that Winfield Meck’s dead body was found and the following were carried out badly injured: John F. Brennan, Thomas Conville and Michael Grant. The following are yet imprisoned: John Salmon, John Purcell, Michael Walsh, John Lawler, Thomas Cleary and Joseph Shields. UNLUCKY THIRTEEN. Experiences of Two Actresses Who Oc- cupied a Room with That Number. ANSONIA, Conn., Oct 5.—The Sadie Scan- lon and Ada Gray troupes are both hoo- dooed. They stopped at the Dayton House, and it so happened that the best room in the house was ATO. 13. Miss Scanlonvvas assigned to this room, and was much pleased with it until she noticed the num- ber. Then she rebelled, and refused to stay in it. As it was the only room vacant she was obliged to exchange rooms with one of the male members of the company. Twelve men have died in this room in the past six months. When the male member was informed of this in the morning he collapsed. Ada Gray and troupe arrived Thursday, and Miss Gray was assigned this room. She was very indignant when she saw the number. \Vhile she was down in the office asking that her room might be changed, some one entered and stole her pocketbook containing twenty-five dollars and some personal letters. She went out and kissed a. colored boy for luck, but so far the money and letters have not been found. The landlord will have the number of the room made 103. In Memory of Hon. Harvey M. Watterson.
