' Frtntleally defiant, even while the shadows of death closed around him, and volley After Tolley from the new Springfield rifles of two State militia companies mhde a salve of the walls of bis humble home. W. H. Boatwick, a white deeperado at IrwInvtUg, Ga., who observed his Isat Sunday on eartn by the murder of two officers of the law and the serious wounding of three others, paid the penalty of death shortly after 5 o’clock Mon day morning. He succumbed to ma ny wounds reoeived from the volleys fired Into the buildiBg early dur ing the night by a mob of infur iated citltens or from those of the military, which began an attack af ter fonr o'clock Monday morning Almost at the same moment Sher iff J. P. Mclnia of Irwin County, who was wounded Sunday, while making a desperate attempt to remove a wounded fellow officer from the deadly fire of Qostwick. expired. Jas. Oill, another officer, was add ed to the list of wounded during the early fusllade Monday morning, but it Is beleived he will recover. Bnrrounded by his six little ehltdren. whom he held prisoners almost to the end of the eeige, Boel- wlck, who had declared his inten tion of dying rather than submit to arrest on the charge of attempt ing to murder his brother-in-law. fought the battle to the last ditch. Knowing that death was near, the desperate man finally allowed the fear stricken children to leave the house. However, after they were under the protection of the mili tary officers, they refused to talk of the events of the night. Capt. Cbaa. A. Delang. command ing the (Fitzgerald Guards, de scribed the uneven . battle of one desperate man against an e<iuallv determined host in a vivid manner. Oapt. Delang’s original Instruc tions from Adjt. Gen. Scott were to await the arrival of the Albany Guards before taking any steps to capture Bostwlck. Upon arriving at Bostwlck’s home, however, he found the mob In such a temper that he deemed Immediate action Absolutely neces sary. He first called upon Boatwlcn to surrender, offering him protection from the mob, but the demand was stoutly refused, even though accom panied by a threat to take the be sieged man dead or alive. The offi cer then demanded that the children be allowed to leave the hous£ but Bostwlck also refused this demand. The litle ones had spent the entire night huddled close to the floor fearing at any moment that they would be the victim of bullets from the guns of the enraged people. Capt. Delang ordered his men to fire a volley into the roof of the house, following which another de mand for surrender and release of the children was msde upon Bost wlck. who replied with a shot from one of the three weapons, with which he was armed. Then came anothei volley from the soldiery, whioh caus ed Boetwlck to ask that the lives of the children be not endangered. The six children were then per mitted to leave the bouse, and were taken In charge by the soldiers. They would answer no questions. The oldest daughter. Jennie, who ha spent the long night attempting t< shield the younger children, crier because one of the younger boy* hs< been forced to leave the bouae with out bla trouaers, and the oldest boy waa 111. The children being taken to t place of safety, Capt. Delang agalr demanded that Bostwlck surrender but the only reply was a shot from the beseiged man. Then the soldiers fired a volley into the lower portion cff the hougb. .. A moment later offl- eera observed that a shingle hvl been removed from, the roof, this probably being done by Bostwlck in order to fire te better advantage. A hail of lead was thrown into tbe roof, followed by a thud, tfhlclt Indi cated that Boatwick hkd fallen to the floor. Obeerven then called at teatlen to the Act Hit aa object waa aeen moving through a hole in tha floor, and a volley waa fired In that direetioo. A rush of the troopa waa than directed, the belthf be ing that Boatwick (tad been Injured, bat this was stopped by a shot from tbe building, which struck James Gill, who was carsd tor by a physi cian. Detent's men then fired Into the building several times. Several men then attempted to enter the buQding, bet were greeted by a final shot from BMt1%k. .The Albany company then BntvodipB the acend and « rtish upon tbe balldtnr wee made from ell directions. The doors ware broken open and Boatwick was found upon. 81X BODIES RECOVERED AND MORE ARK EXPECTED. Twenty-81* Hones* Along the Lick ing River Are Swept Away anil Great Damage Waa Done. A dispatch from Salyersrllle, Ky., says six bodies were taken fiom the swollen waters of the Licking river and fearing that great damage has been done and that more lives have been k>st as a result of a cloudburst near tbe headwaters of tbe stream, rescuing parties have left there for the mountain regions to the east. The dead are: Mrs. John Sheppard. William Conley. Unidentified dead. A w.hite man, aged about GO. A white boy. Telephone connection with tbe scene of the cloud burst baa been cut off. |It is known that twenty-alx houses were washed away. Eastern Kentucky has been delug ed with heavy rainfalls for practical ly a week and the storm, which is understood to have been a cloud burst. has put the waters of the al ready swollen Licking entirely out of its banks. The wreckage was ob served floating past Salyersvlfle at daylight and tbe work of roping houses and rescuing live stock wa« begun. This resulted in a short time in the finding of four bodies. There are no citie* or towns of any size above Salyenville on tbe Licking, but there are several moun tain villages and the country la fair ly well populated. The region is difficult of access and although there are no railroads, wire communica tion is carried on whew conditions are normal. Six bodies have been recovered. They include Mr. and Mrs. Gayheart and child. John Conley and John Weinerman, farmers, are among those reported missing. INJURING FOURTEEN OR MORE PASSENGERS. MANY LIVES ARE LOST RAN WTO CAR HAS HARD LUCK WASTS OF CRIME , HUS HER BABE thoughts, the expression-on his fea tures was one of death defying de termination. He had fought the battle of life and death and lost, but if his superhuman nerve failed him once there was no indication of tbe fact. . Death claimed the desperado shortly after the final .rush of the troops. Tbe Sabbath day tragedies and the final battle scene occurred four miles west of Irwlpville. In the crowd that gathered around the beseiged home were the most prominent wo men of the community. These did not remain at the scene for the pur pose of witnessing bloodshed, but their hearts went out to the children who were forcibly confined in the home. There were stern, determin ed faces in that crowd of fully five hundred mothers, many of whom would have defied the deadly fire of the Springfield's before they would have allowed one of the children to be injured. The attitude of the women re sulted from a misunderstanding of orders issued by Adjt. Gen. Scott, who instructed the two companies not to fire from a distance and en danger the children This misun derstanding of the orders caused (Governor Joseph M. Brown to be the recipient of many telegrams of protest during the day. • Immediately following Boetwlck's death a coroner’s Jury waa empanel led to investigate tbe tragedy. Tbe verdict was that Boatwick killed himself in order to prevent being captured. Whether he died from aelf-infUcted wounds, received the w'ounds during the fight with citizens or succumbed to the fire of the Sprlngflelds may never be known. The children doubtless know wheth er the father was wounded before •he arrival of the soldiery, but they would make no statement. Many acts of heroism were record ed during the bloody seige, most notable among these being that of Sheriff Mclnnls. Seeing his deputy, r. C. Haas, fall, and thinking he was mortally wounded, Sheriff Mclnnls -ushed from cover and took Bass to a place of safety, and in so doing ,‘eceived the wound which caused his death. He then proceeded to a neighbor ing telephone and attempted to com municate with Adjt. Gen. Scott, at Atlanta. He was unable to talk, however, and in- Whisper* dictated the message which caused the Ad jutant General to order out the troops. Boatwick literally died with his “boots on,” and not until his am- munition, which he had retrenched by forcing one ef hie children to (ace the fire of the mob and take a pis tol and csrtridgee from the body of one of the dead soldiers, was ex hausted, did he cease firing. Al most in his last breath, he sent one final shot In the direction of the in- vaders. Georgia, Southern and Florida En gine Ran Into Passenger Train, Overturning Conch Near Valdosta.

One man Is dead, one is dying and eeven other persons are in hos pitals with more or less serious wounds as the result of a duel fought on one of the most crowded fbour- oughfares of .Cleveland, O. The trouble started in a quarel between Frank Vlena and Antoine Mercuric over the alleged ill-treatment of hia wife by Mercuric. The two men were standing in front of a soloon when they drew revolvers and began firing at each other. A number of persons rushed forward to seperate them, but before the shooting could be stopped Viena was dead, Mercuric fatally wounded, and seven stray bullets had found billets In as many of the bystanders. BEAKS CHARMED LIFE. Bullet Paawes Through HI* Body Without Fatal Result. Robert Roberts, of Oak Grove, La., believes that he bears a charmed life.

When the host fired a Win chester rifle the chicken's neck was severed and at the same time his guess w-as perforated by the bullet on the rebound. The bullet passed entirely through Roberts’ body, but In spite of this he ate the chicken dinner and the doctors aay he will get well. ELEPHANTS ON RAMPAGE.

All the Passenger* Lowered to Safety. - w A dispatch from Duaseldorf, 0“.*., says Count Zeppelin's passenger air ship Deutschland, the highest de veloped of all the aeronaut s models, lie* on top of the Teutobourgaln forests, pierced with pine tree ■tern, a mass of deflated silk and twisted aluminum. The 33 persona aboard, after a wild contest with a storm, escaped uninjured, climbing down a rope ladder from the wreck on the pine tops. Herr Colesman, general manager of the new airship company. Chief engineer Durr of the Zeppelin com pany and Capt Kannenburg, who per sonally had charge of the crew of ten and twenty newspaper men hail ed from Duaseldorf at 8.30 o'clock Tuesday morning for a three hours' excursion. The objeeti v e point was Dortmund, about 35 miles from Dus- seldorf, but a high head wind pre vailed and an effort was made to reach Munster, a garrison town, so that a landing might be made ou the parade ground. It wa* dangerous to attempt a landing in an open field, because of the storm, as the metal was likely to pound to pieces. One of the motors refused to work and the other two were not powerful enough to make any progress in the gale. The air ship drifted, swaying in the violent gusts and sometimes leaning to an angle of iO degreee. and all the while the enginemen were at work repairing tbe disabled motor. When this wa* done all four screw* were driven under full power, with which under normal condition*, the ship wa* able to make 40 milee an hour. But the helmsman was unable to keep his course, as the great craft was swung about at the mercy of the winds. Colesmann did not dare to turn the ship around for fear of overturn ing, and he decided to drift in the gale which was now blowing ai the rate of fifty miles an hour toward Osnabruck, which is also a garrison town. If he missed that he would continue on to Senie. Suddenly he perceived a whirlwind coming and ascended to a height of nearly 4,000 feet to avoid the worst of it. With the whirlwind came an avalanche of rain. After an hour the Deutchland came down to permit of observation ami it was seen that the Teutobourgian forest lay below. The forward motor again stopped and Colesmann sent five of the cor respondents to the aft gondola to balance the vessel. The ship sank rapidly, having lost much gas in the high altitude and dragged along the top of the dense forest. A heavy branch of a tree broke through the floor of the cabin amidships, throw ing two of the gueats to the floor. Other branches ripped thropgh the gas compartments and the whole great structure settled down 30 or 40 feet from the ground. "* “It is not the fault of the Zeppe lin system,’’ declared Herr Cole- mann; “that Is all right. It is our own fault and our benzine ran out. The airship for which Herr Coles- mann’s company had just paid $137,- G00 looked like a wreck. The frames were broken but the motors were not damaged. The silk was ripped and had fallen in a torn mass on the tops of the trees. A rope ladder waa swung down and everyone waa mustered below unin jured except for a bruise or two. Two natives identified the spot as near to Wellendorf, east of Osna bruck. Many persons of the countryiide must have seen the descent and re sultant disaster. Reports of death were widely spread. A company of infantry waa sent from Osnabruck, and picketed the wreckage. YOUTHFUL BURGLAR8 CAUGHT HKD-HANDED. THEN MOTHER DRINKS DEADLY POISON HERSELF. Boys Are 17 and 18 Year* OM mm4 Vom* of Respectable Families.— Had Kit Fall of Tool*. Two well dressed young men. 17 and 18 years old, were caught before dawn Thursday, leaving one of the prominent apartments in Washing ton. which tkey admitted they en tered for purposes of robbery. They were Ely B, Runyon, who says he is the son of Mra. Emily E. C. Runyon, a physician of Richmond, Va., and Julian D. Wychard, son of a former newspaper publisher in North Carolina. Each of the youthful burglars was armed with revolvers and they had a complete burglar's kit, including a dark lantern. The flashing of the dark lantern waa aaen by a police man who made the arresta. A re cent robbery of the home of Edward A. Moseley, secretary of the Inter state commission, has been traced to the boys. When captured the boys had en tered the office of a physician, and finding nothing they wanted, depart ed to discover a more lucrative field for their efforts when the policeman saw their lantern. The two boys aald they came to Washington Tuesday night and reg istered at a hotel. Went out short ly after midnight to operate in a fashionable section of the city. Run yon boasts of exploits In various cities of the West, saying he had been trained as a burglar by an adept who is now serving time. Wy chard claims that he recently met Runyon in Atlanta, where he had lived, and traveled with him with out knowing hia occupation until the two came to Waahington. The boys will be given a hearing in a few days. HIGHWAYMEN CONVICTED. Four Negroes to Pay Death Penalty for Crime. The four negroes Charles Walker. Jim Black. Charles Julian and EJ Weaver, charged with the murder of Motorman Brown, in the Druid Hills street car hold-up at Atlanta several weeks ago, were convicted of hrst degree murder and was sentenced to hang. Although Walker and Weaver had made written confes sions of their guilt and implicated the two other negroes, they swore on the stand in the trial court that the confession was untrue. There is no doubt of the guilt of all the men that have been convicted.

Effort* Bring Made to Recover . Wa of Toaag Woaaaa and Midshipmen.——La*t Meea te Oaft, which W Later Drifting on Water. More than a score of mlddioe are searching the waters of the Sevens River, near Annapolis. Md., for the bodies of Mrs. Nellie E. Bowyer. wid ow of Joseph Bowyer, and daughter- in-law of Superintendent John M. Bowyer, of the Naval Academy, and Midshipmen Xlrisble Thomas, of Ln-. Ion Point. Ga., and Sherman M. No- son, of Newport, R. I. The three left the Naval Academy about 11 o’clock Tuesday morning, in a sail boat, and this boat was found drifting tbat afternoon. In It were portions of the clothing that had been worn by the members of the party. It is believed that the midship men took Mrs. Bowyer to the bath ing shore used by the Naval Acad emy people, and attempted to teach her to swim and, that she. getting beyond her depth, all three were drowned. All efforts to recovar tbe bodies had been fruLUees up to a late hour. Mrs. Bowyer and her midshipmen missed the regular launch that goes to the bathing beach across the river from the Naval Academy, and took a half-rater sail boat instead. here they donned bathing suits and again taking to their boat, went to a beach nearer the mouth of the river, but within sight of the Naval Academy. While this beach la good, it has treacherous spots, where the depth of water increases suddenly. There were no witnesses to what occur red, but the discovery of the boat in which they bad been and the fact tbat no trace of any of the party baa been found leads to the conviction that all three were drowned. a m /•wo 1 wr* * '*■ *--* H1UDK8 ONLY FEW HO UR IV Married Two Prisoner* That Had He* * . i ■ >4 reived Death 8eatearm. ~Z* Z " ~ ’ Two brides were made widows a * f .r‘“- few hours after the wedding cere monies were performed In the pen- * itenttary at Valladolid.
