DEATH FOR A TAUNT

Drunken Printer Killed Because He Called Hie Editor-Em-ployer a “Scab.” THATB THZ WAY ITS LOOKS HOW Trial at Muncie Has Begun Unusual Advice in a Divorce Case State Items. • Muncie, Ind., Oct 17. Joseph P. Williams, ex-editor of the Indiana lied Man, the oflleia! organ of the fraternity in Indiana, and a highly respected business man, who, on the 20th of last July shot and killed his employe, Herman Pugh, has been placed on trial lu the circuit court, and the Impaneling of a jury was taken up. Williams was accompanied by bls wife and his attorneys Include Walter L. Ball and A. E. Needham, ex-prosecuting attorney. Called the Editor a “Scab.” The leading witness for the state Is Benjamin McGinnis, president of the local Typographical union, wbo was the sole eye-witness of the killing. It Is presumed that his testimony will reflect seriously on the defendant, as he has said that the murder was unjustifiable, although he Is said to admit that Pugh was Intoxicated and that be called Williams a "scab.” Not much difficulty Is expected in obtaining a jury. Pugh Was Going to Heave. Williams owned a large printing plant, where lie printed the Red Man. of which he was the founder and own er. He was prominent in the fraternity in whose interests it was published. He employed Herman Pugh as a journeyman printer. Last July Pugh became dissatisfied nnd notified Wil Hams that he would leave. Williams called on President McGinnis to meet " Pugh Tn his office, when The came To be paid off. hoping that he could induce Pugh to remain. Came to the Office Drunk. Pugh was intoxicated, and Williams only paid him part of the wages due. , and asked him not to quit work. Pugh then called Williams a “scab.” as the story runs, and Williams seized a revolver lying in his desk and shot him. McGinnis witnessed the transaction, nnd ho tried to prevent Williams from shoqting, but was too late in interfering. Likely To Be Convicted. Williams bears the reputation of a moral and upright man. and many friends have come to ids assistance. The general sentiment, however, is that bls net was unjustifiable and that notwithstanding powerful influences are working in ids behalf, there will bp some! kind of a conviction JUDGE GIVES UNUSUAL ADVICE Tells a Woman Suing for Divorce to Live with Her Husband Pending the Decision. Columuiis. Ind., Oct. 17. At the conclusion of the evidence In the divorce case of Mrs Emma Dnvis against Stephen Davis. In the Bnrthol omew eircutt court. Judge Hacker made an unusual suggestion. The law contemplates that when a divorce action is filed husband and wife shall he living separate and apart and they shall not live together during the time the suit is pending or after the suit is tried and before the decision of the court Is given. When Mrs. Davis brought suit against her husband for divorce ami 110,000 alimony she left her homo and had been living elsewhere, -Judge Hacker told Mrs. Davis to go home and remain there until lie had decided the case. He said she need not eat at the same table with her husband if she did not wish to and that she need not have anything to do with him. hut he advised her to go there and stay while the decision was being made, and said that he would not regard this action as living with her liusband.

Gun Perilous at the Breech. Brazil. Ind.. Oct. f7.—At an early hour Pressly Jenkins heard a thief in his chicken honey on his farm near Bowlins Green. Jenkins seized his old shotgun and blazed away at the intruder, bnt Jenkins was found in an un conscious condition shortly afterward, while the thief and the farmer's choice fowls were missing. The gun burst a barrel, seriously injuring Jenkins. Child Frightened to Death. Corydon. Ind., Oct. 17.—The 3-year-old child of Andrew Mosier. of Byrneville, this county, was placed on the roof of a chicken house, a few feet above the ground, by older children, who kept telling the child It was going to fall. The child was seized of convulslone, caused by Intense fright, and fell over on the roof and died. Would-Be Bride is Spanked. Bedford, Ind., Oct 17. David Pedro. 22 years old. and Pearl Leman, 14, eloped from Linton, with the expectation of being married here, and ♦bey were arrested in this city.

THEY SLAMMED THE DOOR Church Organist Plays His Own Wedding March and Made the Congregation Sit Up. Shelbyville, Ind., Oct 16. After the congregation had assembled for the morning service at the First Presbyterian church Albert CbenbaH, the organist, rendered the wedding march from “Lohengrin” as a voluntary. When it came time for the collection to be taken, Instead of the choir sing ing an anthem, Chenhall rendered “Oh, Promise Me.” By this time the congregation was in an expectant state. Rev. L. O. Richmond, pastor of the church, took for his subject: “The Wedding Feast” When he had con dnded Chenhall and Miss Catherine Hartmaker, a member of the choir, stepped from the choir loft and made their way to the front of the pulpit, where Richmond pronounced the words which them husband nnd wife. After the ceremony they again took their places In the choir, and assisted In Singing the closing hymn. The beneIctlon was then pronounced. Chenhall then played Mendelssohn’s wedding march as the congregation was leaving.

Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 16. After nine days of violent insanity, which defied treatment and which caused him to be considered eligible for the Central Indiana Insane hospital at Indianapolis, Tobias Gaddis, who shot and killed Jesse Robinson in the late “whitecapping” affair, suddenly re gained his normal condition. Gaddis had been slowly improving for two days, and it was noticed that be did not rave nor cringe for fear of i“whitecaps,” to such an extent as formerly. Nine Days Only • Dream.

About midnight he became perfectly sane while some of the prisoners In the county jail were talking to him. Gaddis sayp the last nine days seem like a dream to him. His mind is perfectly void as to the investigation of the committee, and the decision to have him placed In the insane hospital. He says he does not wish to go to the hospital, as he is not crazy. His physical condition shows the effect of the strain he has heen. under. He is very feeble and has the appearance of having had a spell of sickness. He wants to fight the charges that have already been preferred against him. He denies vigorously all the reports to the effect that he may not bo entirely guiltless in the “whitecapping” episode.

Some Suspicion of Shamming. One of the first things he did after regaining his mind was to express a desire to see his lawyer. As to whether Gaddis has been shamming there seems to be no way of telling at present. nnd this will probably have no bearing on the case now that his mind Is normal, and be expects to fight the charges of theft against him. The commission found tils mental condition to be unsound when they exnmined him a week ago. and decided to have him transferred to the institution at Indi anapolis. Yesterday Gaddis wrote let ters in answer to those from his girl wife and to liis sister at Muncie. He read the letters which came several days ago for the first time Monday. Honor to Whom It Is Due. Terre Haute, Ind.. Oct. 16. Some one lias found in the tiles of the old Terre Haute Express a story of the origin of the expression commonly attributed to Horace Greeley ■— “Go West, young man,go West" —and finds that it was written by John L. Soule, editor of Tile Express, in an editorial which was the result of a bet with Colonel Richard W.Thompson that an editorial could be written in the Greeley style which would pass for one of his own productions.

Seniors Pntting on Air. Greencastle. Ind., Oct. 1(5. —Wishing to distinguish themselves th»> “general run 6f college men,” the genl ors in DeFauw will soon bloom out in novel wearing apparel. The character of the “taboo” has not been decided upon as yet, but it will either come in the nature of lint bands, caps or sweater vests. x Baby Roasted to Death._ ■- Muncie, Ind., Oct. 16. — Mrs. William McKinley, of Cammack, this county, crossed the street to call on a neigh her. and during her absence her 18-months-old child fell out of a rockingchair into a hot oven and was virtually roasted to death.

William Adams, a striking telegraph operator, had both legs crushed at the knee by falling under the wheels of a Monon passenger train. iujthe Monon yards. He will probably die. Why, Indeed! Arthur, six years old, gave to the little maiden of his choice a candy on which was printed in pink letters, “Why do you keep me in suspense?” “I gave Millicent a candy with reading on it,” he said shyly to his mother. “What did the reading say?” asked his mother.“Wby do you keep me in suspenders?” repeated Arthur proudly.

BLAST OF DEATH

Wipes Out Fontanet, Ind., and Deals Most Frightful Havoc. TWENTY-FIVE TO FIFTY KILLED Six Hundred or More Are Wound* ed. Some of Them Fatally. THREE POWDER MILLS EXPLODE Followed by a Magazine Containing 40,000 Kega of Powder. f Concussion Is Felt Miles Away—Not a Building in Fontanet Is Left Standing or Uninjured. Fontanet, Ind., Oct. 17. Thirtyeight lives snuffed out, 600 injured, of which number fifty were seriously / hurt, and a property loss of approximately $760,000 Is the latest estimate of the destruction wrought by the explosion at the Dupont powder mills

Fontanet. Ind., Oct 16.—Fontanet has been practically destroyed by the explosion of the plant of the Dupont Powder company. The dead number from twenty to fifty. Over 600 persons were injured, and every building in the town was wholly or partly leveled with the ground. Where stood a thriving and busy town of 1,000 people there is ruin and scattered wreck age. The dead and more seriously in jured have been taken away. Five hundred Inhabitants, all more or less wounded, remain to gather their scattered household goods and sleep under tents and on cots, guarded by soldiers of the state under command of Gov ernor Hanly in person.

Blast 0f*40,000 Kegs of Powder. The powder mills, seven in number blew up at 9:15 a. a. They employed 200 men. and of these seventy-flye were at work when the first explosion occurred in the press mill. In quick succession the glazing mill, the two coning mills and the powder magazine blew up, followed by the cap mill. Tn the magazine, situated several hundred yards from the mills, were stored 40.000 kegs of powder. The concussion when It blew up was felt nearly 200 miles away. Every house in this town was destroyed. Farm hoqses two miles away and school houses equally distant were torn to pieces and their occupants Injured. A passenger train on the Rig Four railroad four miles away had every coach window broken, and several passengers were Injured by flying glass List ut tbc Idemifl-id Dead. Following is a list of the identfied dead: A. B. Monahan, general superintendent; Mrs A. B. Monahan, Mrs Monahan's sister, George Justice, Johz Bobo, George Bobo. William Sherrill. Henry Harrington.

Additions to the list of dead are: Mrs. Ethel Taylor, sister of Mrs. Monahan; Frank Cockerell, Mrs Anna Heins (aged 19), Fred Ousley. Ousley (child of Mrs. dusley). An unidentified body, supposed to be that of August Girard, employe, was taken from tbe ruins of the plant. From a workman empHoyed in tbe gazing mill It was learned that a “hot box." which was caused by too much friction on the shafting causing sparks to be transmitted to some loose powder, was In all probability the cause of the terrible catastrophe.

The isovernor arrived in the evening about the time the soldier; reached here. He brought with him 700 tents and cots for the use of the homeless. ,

THERE WERE FOUR EXPLOSIONS Last One the Worst, Killing and Injuring Some Rescuers. The mills went up with three tinct explosions, followed ninety mluutes later by a fourth even more serious thaft-the others, when the magazine went up. Immediately following the explosions the wreckage took fire and the Inhabitants of the town, who rushed to the rescue of the mill employes. found themselves powerless to aid those burning In the ruins. They worked frantically. In constant danger from possible succeeding explosions, unmindful of their ruined homes. Dead and dying were picked up and carried away. Eighteen bodies horribly burned nnd mangled were carted to a protected spot to await Identification, while the badly injured, numbering upward of fifty, were put on a special train and taken to Terre Haute for hospital accommodations. The mills were located one mile south of the town. With the first explosion the employes ran for safety, but most of them were killed or wounded by the quick-following explosions In the other mills. When the heat from the building mills exploded the giant powder magazine, ninety minutes later, destroying the town by the concussion, many of those engaged In rescue work were badly injured and several killed. Superintendent Monahan, of the plant was killed while sit ting in his office, and bls wife nnd sis tcr-in-law were killed in their home some distance away. That the death list is not far greater Is due to the fact that the people of the town had left their bouses at the first explosion and were not In their, when the explosion of the 40,000 kegs of powder in the magazine broke their homes to pieces and scattered their household goods in heaps of debris. Among the buildings totally destroyed in the town were the Methodist and Christian churches, two school build Ings, the railway station, all business blocks. IncivdiDg a large biock just completed, a large warehouse and 500 homes. In many of them the fronts were blown" away, while in others the roofs were hurled into space. The sides, blown out or they were left a confused mass of collapsed wreckage A Big Four railroad freight train on the switch leading to the mills was partly destroyed by the explosion, and the wreckage caught fire. Engineer Chas Wells was badly burned and his right leg fractured

WRECK OF A SCHOOL HOUSE Teacher Is Killed and Nearly All the Pupil* Are Injured. Three school buildings were destroyed at Fontanet and Coal Blujf. two miles away. All were filled with school children, and every one of these was more or less injured by the collapse of the buildings The fore* of the explosion destroyed a!) telephone communication w.th euts'de towns, and It war with great difficulty that aid was summoned Terre Haute and Braaii sent physicians and nurses with supplies in cars and automobile? across country while special trains were made up and run on the Big Four railroad for the care of the injured The country school near Fontane* with an attendance of fifty country children had just been called to or der when the explosion occurrec The walls of the building and roof collapsed. but none of the children was seriously Injured The teacher. Miss Susan Bishop, of Terre Haute. Ind.. was struck by a fallen beam and is now in a hospital at her home town Conflicting stories are told by the pu plls Concerning the crash that followed the explosion. It is understood, however, that a class had just been called. One of the pupils is said to have raised her hand in response to a question propounded by the teacher, when the terrific explosion shook the earth. Faces of lit-' tie ones paled and almost instantly the four walls fell outward and the roof crashed down od the crowded room Two boys wriggled out of the debris Both went for help. Everybody in tye community w-ho had not been injured by the explosion rushed toward the powder mill. No one gave heed to the wild exclamations of the little fellows who sought In vain to attract attention to the wrecked school building. In the meantlmesevera) others strug gled out of the debris, covered by dust, and finally the public began to realize that possibly a greater tragedy than that at the mill had occurred. A few turned in theirmad flight and hastened’ to the wrecked building. The scene was awful. The cries of the little ones could scarcely be heard above the confusion caused by tbs explosion, but strong men were soon lifting timbers off the imprisoned bodies and carrying the injured away. It is believed, that not more than half a dozsn out of the fifty in school escaped injury.
