Frank Thompson, the Leailer Puts , Up a Game Firht But It Didn't Count. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 12. Fourteen of the 26 convict fugitives have been retaken. Frank Thompson, the negro leader ot the mutiny, was captured eight miles north of Council Grove last evening by a posse under command of Deputy United States Marshal E. A. Prescott. Thompson would not surrender, but -was taken after a hard fight with the officers, in -which he was shot in the head, but iot severely Injured. No member of the posse was hurt. Deputy Marshal Prescott had been in Council Grove ever since Saturday morning on the watch for escaped prisoners. There are a number of them in this vicinity and several depredations on property have resulted from their presence. Yesterday Deputy Prescott heard of the presence of a negro convict a few miles north of town and set out to make the capture, assisted by Sheriff Michael and some other officers. The officers had just merged from a wooded tract when they saw Thompson running across the open, he was ordered to halt but answered by wheeling around and doing some rapid firing with a 44-caI-Iber revolver. The officers then fired and Thompson dropped. He was stunned and was easily secured. Thompson was taken back to the pen-, itf ntiary today. Another of the escaped convicts, Lawrence Lewis, was mortally wounded yesterday near Quenemo, Kan., while making a dash through a cordon of armed deputies. Now there are but 12 prisoners at large. Lewis is a white boy, 20 years of age, who was sent up in October, 1900, y "undergo a five-years' sentence for larceny. He was trakea to a wooded place near Quenemo by tbe city marshal of that place and a dozen men bearing rifles. An order to surrender was met with defiance and Lewis, unarmed, and although practically surrounded, darted for the nearest opening. He had gone scarcely 100 yards when a bullet from a Winchester in th hands of one of his pursuers pierced his lung from behind and brought him to the ground. Bleeding and fatally wounded, Lewis was taken to the marshal's office and cared for, while Warden McClaughrey was notified. J Bulgaria Still Interferes. Sofia. Bulgaria, Nov. 12. From another letter that has been received fiom Miss F.llen M. Stone, the abducted American missionary, it appears that she is enduring the trials of her hard experience with fortitude, torgetting herself in her anxiety for her companion. Mme. Tsilka. Miss Stone does not dare to complain of the treatment to which they are subjected, but she finds the confinement Irksome and the weather extremely tiying. The tone of the latest letter received from her is hopeful. The brigands, by dating the letters at places in Macedonia and delaying their delivery, seek to create the appearance of being far distant. The Bulgarian government continues to Interfere in the negotiations with the object of forcing a transference of them across the frontier. I Devery and JeromeNew York, Nov. 12. The application of Deputy Police Commissioner William S. Devery to make absolute a temporary writ of prohibition restraining Justice William Travers Jerome from trying charges of neglect of duty preferred against him, was yesterday denied by Justice Ogorman in the supreme court, the justice holding that the magistrate has jurisdiction to entertain the complaint.

THE NIMRODS. What They Found in the Way of Sport About the Country Yesterday. There was a good deal of bunting doDe yesterday, and although the wind was high there was a good deal of game brought to town. All agree that there was much hard work about it. Game was plenty, more so than for years, but does not seem to be in the fields so much as former years; it is in the woods and . corn fields. One man says that out of 35 rabbits seen by his party yesterday only one was in the stubble, and it was a good deal the same with the quail. Game seemed to be pleDty in every direction and reasonably easy of approach. William Snelle and a party were in Boston township and did not see any quail. They got plenty of rabbit. ' Ed Morgan, X B. Morgan and A. D Oler were up toward Greecfefork. Trey found game plenty and returned with 16 rabbit and 8 quaii. They did not get near all they saw. W. M. Huddleston was up about Fountain City and brought back three rabbit and four quail. He saw lots of quail. The most successful party have heard from included Lou Mutb, Alf Collet and Charley Burden of Muccie. They bafreed twenty rabbits and fifteen quaii. They are out again today. The rain of last night will be a help but the high wind will still be an objection. If this weather holds up the hunting will probably be good all through the season as pot hunters can not work to advantage. All agree to one thing, too, and that is that there is going' to be trouble getting to hunt if a mas is not a personal friend of the farmer whose farm he wishes to hunt over. The farmers do not seem to object to the hunting, but do not want to sign written permits. Thy were on numerous farms, and in every case almost the farmer would say: "J don't object to the hunting, now you have asked me. Go ahead and hunt all you want to, but I won't sign anything." Their blank pe mits were practically worthless to them for the reason that while consent was readily given the farmers would not even read the permits, let alone signing them. The farmer boys are hunting a good deal this year. Fire in Boston. Boston, Mass., Nov. 12. A fire burned out the interior of the big granite block at Broad and Franklin streets this morning and caused a loss of from a hundred to a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The property is owned by Thomas N. Hart. Sent Back to Wayne. The case of Hannah Murray vs. Robert Murray which was sent to Winchester from this court on change of venue has been certified back to this court. It is a rather peculiar case. Robert Murray was a widower of advanced age with a family of nine children. He married. The wife, Hannah, lived with him for some 12 years and then left him, going to Cincinnati to live. He sued for divorce and it was granted, and then he died. Now comes Hannah and sues for a share in the estate which he left consisting of an 80 acre piece of ground near Greensfork and perhaps $2,500 in money. The other heirs contest her rights because of the divorce. She claims there was a flaw in the proceedings in that the suit was rot properly advertised, she being a non-resident at the time cf the suit. Conner, Bond and Abbott are the attorneys representing the three contestants. -'

Still Another Bank Robbery-. Hopkinsviilf, Ky., Nov. 12. Burglars blew open the safe of the Bank of Trenton at Trenton, Ky., and got three hundred dollars of postoffice deposit. They failed to force under the doors. The thieves left on a hand car. While the bank officials were examining the damaged vault they exploded a charge of nitroglycerine, badly injuring Phil Dickerson and T. W. Hewlett and knocking down four others.

Topics. At the meeting of the Ministerial association yesterday the topics for future meetings wet e assigned as follows: Nov. 18 -'Observance of Thanksgiving Day. Religious services. Home gathering." Rev. Baker. Nov. 25 "The Normal class in the Sunday school. Relations to the family. " Rev. Chamness. Dec. 2 "The religion of the family. Recent explorations of Bible lands." Rev. C. Huber. Dec. 9 Analysis of the Gospel of Mark. Rev. Stanley Hughes. Dec. 23 "The policy of anti-saloon legislation as a solution of the temperance problem." Rev. Allen Jay NE1WP0T. It is to Have More Floor Space Than the One Now Standing Has. There has been considerable talk about the city with regard to the new Panhandle station and the impression has been formed that the new one will be smaller than the old one, which is a mistake. It is to be shorter than the old one, but it is to be much wider, and will have more room by several hundred feet of floor space. The building will be different from the present one in the way of train sheds. The present building has depot and train sheds all in one. In the new one the depot will be by itself and the train sheds will be of iron, by themselves, connected by a promenade covered with glass. The old building has 4,400 feet of floor space, the new one will have 4.700 feet of floor space, a gain of 300 feet in size. The express room is to be larger, the baggage room a great deal larger, the ticket office much smaller; the telegraph office will be in a room to itself. The ladies' waiting room has between 200 and 300 feet of floor space and the gents room is of about the same size. The general waiting room will have 2,100 feet of 11 xr space, and the space now taken up by the lunch counter will not be thus encumbered, the lunch counter being in a room by itself. There will not be any dining room as there is now, that will be given to public use. We lose the dining room, which is never of use to local travel and of very little use to the general public, and gain in the way of general waiting room and gents' room. CENTERVILLE. The Friends church is now without a pastor. On last Sunday the meetings were conducted by Anna Votaw and Lida Mendenhall of Richmond. Both ladies are earnest speakers and those who attended - the meetings were deeply interested.Anna Votaw. though advanced in years, is still active in Christian work, and has the love aud esteem of all who know her. Mrs. Mendenhall is a bright and pleasing speaker and it is expected that she will conduct meetings here again. Mrs. Votaw expect to pass the winter with her son, who is a professor at the Friends'- school at West Town, Pa. '---

It A Cow Disputes the Right of Way With the Usual Result In Such Disputes. The first wreck on the Panhaxdle for some months occurred last evening west of the city. The work train was at Hagerstown and the engine and one car started to Richmond for the night with such of the men as belong here. The engine was in charge of Frank Critchett. Frank is a good man and fired for a long time for Bert Smyser. He was promoted inside the last two weeks and Brooks was his fireman. They were backing down.
