r'v' . A TRAIN BURIED By An Avalanche of Snow Several Miles From Seattle, Wash. REPORTS ARE MEAGRE But it is Believed that Twenty-three Persons Have Been Ixist in the Snow Slides on the Groat Northern Railroad by the Destruction of the Train. A Seattle, Wash., dispatch says re* ports from Wellington say that 23 lives are believed to have been lost in the avalanche that overwhelmed the Great Northern's Spokane express Tuesday morning. Two passenger trains, sewn locomotives and Superintendent O'Neill's private car were buried. O'Neill escaped injury. The Great Northern Spokane train, that has been stalled on the summit of the Cascade Mountains since last'Thursday, was buried by a elide early Tuesday. It is believed there must *.ave been loss of life. A relief triin has gone from Everett, b?it it will not be able to get within ten miles of the train. The stalled train was about two miles west of the west portal of the Cascade tunnel and the track was open to the tunnel. At the Great Northern headquarters the number of persons on the train is given as thirty. Two passengers, who came out and walked over tho ten miles which is blockaded, gave the number of persons on the train as more than lxty, of which flfty-oue were pasBongeis. Among them were several women and children. News of the burying of the train came in a telephone message from Scenic Hot Springs, but connection was lost before any particulars could be ctained. A dispatch from St.. Paul snys the Groat Northern officials have received word that train No. 25, which riniH between Seattle and Spokane, Wash., was swept ofT the tract and buried by a snow slide at Wellington. Wash., at 5:30 o'clock Tuesday mo rn 1 n g. Information is meagre and it is not known whether there are any fatalities. I.ocal officials don't think that any of the fifty-one were klled as the train had been stalled at Wellington for three days, and they were of the opinion that the passengers were at hotels in the city.

Chester Kennedy, Implicated in the Assassination of \V. I*. V'ssery, Must Serve Sentence. A life time sentence in the State Penitentiary is J. Chester Kennedy's fate, the Sprueme Court Saturday aUlrming the judgment of the Circuit Court in the famous Barnwell assassination case. For being accessory to the murder of \V. Perry I'ssery, who was shot to death ou the night of November 28, 1D0S, in the town of Barnwell, Kennedy was givon a term of years in prison that so many men spells worso than the death penalty. The whole story of how Perry Ussery met his terrible death will perhaps never be kngwn to the world, but enough of this crime came out at the trials in Barnwell, enough was discovered by a Plnkerton detective to centre the killing about three persons; one of them, a negro, was a tool, in the hands of the other conspirators, so it appeared. A part of the alleged confession of th e negro, Quitman Johnson, if that confession is true, tells more than does all the testimony in the case of the nature of the crime for which Kennedy is to spend the rest of his days in prison. "Mr. Holland was standing at the place where they struck something and rang a bell, talking to the women," said Johnson in this confession. after he had been convicted of murder. "Grublts told me that was Holland, and that Chester would give me $100, and that Chester said the woman In Augusta would give mo $100 if we killed him. 1 told him "if we get in trouble them Kennedy's are not going to help us.' He said, 'Yes the would and that the woman in Augusta would h"lp us." He left me and went off and come back through the alley and come to me. /He got mo and showed mo where ho had put the gun. When he was showing mo Mr. Holland aud the other man walked up. and he showed me Mr. Holland while he was walking up. Aid they ooine and stood up there and drinked whiskey. I took up the gun and made ono or two attempts to shoot, but my heart failed me a while and then i Hiioi aim run, as stated by witnessen. Crossed the 'bridge and met Boise Green and Parsons, as stated, and Grubhs met me where Parsons says 1 was on the hill. Me and Grubhs goes home. We went on ?o Hurg ss Kennedy's and told him about it." On the stand during his own trial, Johnson had made a different statement, placing Grubhs, tile old man. in his place whenever he referred to the plot or to the shooting. It wag also pointed out at the tim > of Johnson's confession that he had said that Kennedy told him to bring the gun to him. Before he could deliver the gun he was arrested. lluring the trial of Chester Kennedy, Quitman Johnson said in regard to the shooting: "These men wero standing there talking to a white man. 11? went off and got the gun and brought it down through the little lane. (This refers to Grubbs.) I picked Mr. Holland with another man and he went and showed me where the gun was and where he put the overcoat. Mr. Holland was walkinfi up there with this man, and he shewed tne Mr. Holland and I shot, and shot the wrong man." This is the storv In l?H?f ?< killing. It is for the hiring of Quitman Johnson and Ferdinand Gnihbs to kill Marvin Holland, according to the testimony and the resultant killing of Perry T'ssery that Chester Kennedy is guilty of murder. Summed up in one sentence hy the Supreme Court's decision is the story, as far as it is known of the killing of Perry I'ssery: "There was testimony to show that tliovi was conspiracy to kill Harvin Uollai d, and that Ussery was hot by mistake for Holland." Marvin Holland, on th? stand, to'1 of the feeling between himself and Kennedy. Holland said that Ken had told hiri: "I ha j confided a few things to you, tha: f you cv.-r meetion 1 will blow you.* - rains o.r " Shortly after this sta'c-meot i enn and Iio 'ada ! 11 r V?! !*? shooting affair."

There was nnieh of the "inside history" of this case that could not be brought out on the witness stand. Gossip in the neighborhood had it that the "woman in the case" played a rnoro important role than was brought out at the trial. Base Ball Pays.

Vance, Feb. 2S?Special: Will you allow 1110 apace in your paper for a few lines referring; to '-ho hunters license bill which was killeJ by iho house. Now, Mr. Ethr?.-, 1 saw In j v.... . mi? oiiiie euuorini says the farmers Ignored. 1 think the legislature did wise in killing the gun or hunters license. I thluu we have law enough if we would eiforce it. Tl?e only way to do this is for the farmers to forbid hunting on their lands. This would be more effective than the Audubon Society. They don't seem to get very far away from town anyway. The gun tax would make everybody pay that kept a guu whether ho kept It for hunting or not. If tho land owners would post their lands against hunting and keep sj>ortsman off, and all others, there would soon be plenty of birds to do some good. Fifty cents per gun would give the Audubon society money enough to sport proper, and the poor farmer would have tho bill to pay. A Farmer. MADK M < KY lOSCAl'E.
