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.

APPEAL IS DENiED
ANOTHER WHITE MAN IX STATU
PRISON FOR LIFE.
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

that Johnson had said his reason
was that he heard Ussery was ttoiag
to kill Kennedy.
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.

"A Farmer" Think.-, legislature Did
Well to Kill the Bill.
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.
