FIERCE HAND TO HAND
FIGHT WITH BOLOMEN
Detachment of Company E
Attacked In Samar.
FOUGHT WITH CLUBBED GUNS
Seven of the Americans Were Killed
and Eighteen Wounded—Bolomen
Were Finally Repulsed, Leaving
Many of Their Number Dead.
Victoria. B. C., Feb. 5.—Manila pa
pers received by the steamship Em
press of China have particulars of the
recent attack by bolomen on a com
pany of the Ninth infantry in Samar,
which resulted in the death of seven of
the 18 attacked, wounding eight others,
five seriously.
The detachment from company E
was struggling through a thicket near
Dapdad Pueblo when a large mand of
bolomen rushed upon them. A bloody
hand to hand combat ensued. The de
tachment clubbed their rifles and
standing back to back they Bwung
them at the heads of the enemy. Sev
eral eventually managed to bring their
rifles into play and the bolomen grad
ually fell away, leaving the small
force of Americans with hut three of
them unwounded. The bolomen lost
heavily.
A detachment of native soldiers, at
tracted by the sound of the tiring, hur
ried to the scene, hut arrived too late
to take part in the eombat. It is be
lieved the unexpected arrival of these
reinforcements caused the bolomen to
retreat, thereby saving the detachment
from annihilation.

It was fate for him to meet this end.”
But if we went l>ehind the ’’weak ” heart
we should find a ’’weak ” stomach, prob

When the stomach is diseased the
organs depending on the stomach for
nutrition are starved. Starvation means
weakness of the body and its organs.

Thirty Living Men Taken from Hondo
Mine.
Eagle Pass, Tex., Feb. 5.—Thirty
live men and 35 bodies have been re
covered from the Hondo mine. Of the
80 few’ will recover, as all are badly
mangled. The Mexican authorities
have taken up the matter and are now
engaged in an Investigation.
The cause of the explosion Is ex
plained as follows:
The day shift left the mine at 5:30
p. in. and the gas inspectors found no
cause for comment on its condition at
7 p. rn., when the night shift went
down. These men and the mules were
all found dead in their working places,
generally in the extreme parts of the
mine, showing that as the night shift
commenced W'ork there was no danger
ous accumulation of gas. The infer
ence is that the night men in going to
their work at 7 p. m. somew’here left
a ventilating door open preventing an
adequate current of fresh air, and there
being an accumulation of gas in a
part of the mine the cutting olT of
ventilation resulted quickly in an ex
plosion of gas. Everything possible
is being done to alleviate the suffer
ing and distress.
Barges From Newport Go Down In
Great Gale.
New York, Feb. 5.—There is every
reason to believe that three barges,
coal lauen from Newport News for
Boston, have been loRt at sea as a re
sult of the storm on Sunday night and
that 13 people comprising the crews
have perished.
The barges were the Antelope, Belle
of Oregon and Mystic Belle. They
were in tow of the tug Richmond and
the finding of a piece of wreckage
bearing the letters, “O. P. E.,” lends
'confirmation to other information at
hand.
During the height of the blow, the
Richmond’s heavy towing hawser
snapped and the barges w’ent adrift
off Fire island. The tug Richmond
belongs to the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad company. Agent WHlet. of
that company, says that Sunday after
noon the Richmond, in command of
Captain McConnell, left New York
hay with three barges In tow, coal la
den. Each barge had on hoard three
men. Besides these three there were
Captain Miller and his wife, who act
ed as cook on the barge Antelope;
Captain Harding, of the Belle of Ore
gon. and Captain Rodgers on the Mys
tic Belle, a total of 13 persons. Agent
Willett was in telephone communica
tion yesterday afternoon with Cap
tain McConnell, who had reached New
port, R. I. The barges, he said, were
well out to sea at G o’clock Sunday
night off the i^ong Island coast. The
roiM* from the forward barge parted
and the barges were blown away from
the tug.
Captuin McConnell said he did not
give up the hope of rescuing the men
on the barges until it became too dark
for him to distinguish them. The tug
then made for Newport. Captain Mc
Connell thinks the barges and those
aboard of them have been lost.
body found on the Long Island
beach yesterday has been identified as
that of Captain C. L. Miller, of the
Antelope. On one arm of the body the
initials of “C. I.. M.” were tattooed.
The third barge is believed to he still
afloat.
ROBBERS tic i »o,uw.
Loot Bank In Arkansas and Kill Sher*
iff In Fight
Fort Smith. Ark.. Feb. 5.—Robbers
early today at Clarksville, Ark., blew
up the safe of the Bank of Clarks*
ville with dynamite, secured a sum
estimated at $6,000, killed John Pow
ers, sheriff of Johnson county, who
attempted to capture them, and es
caped before the citizens were aware,
of their presence.
There appears to have been from
four to six men in the gang. They
tied their horses on the outskirts of
the town and made their way unob-*
served to the bank, which Is situated in
the north side of the public square.
After gaining an entrance they de
stroyed the safe with dynamite, se
cured what, money not destroyed and
made their way to the street. There
they were confronted by Sheriff Pow
ers. who opened fire upon them. The
robbers returned the fire, using both'
revolvers and Winchesters.
Powers stood his ground and emjv
tied two revolvers before he w f as kill*
ed. although it is believed he was mor
tally wounded by the first volley from
the robbers. When citizens arrived on
the scene a little Jater Powers was
dead, and there was no trace of tho
robbers except a trail of blood that
indicated that the sheriff had wounda&M*
one or more of nls assailants.
Powers roomed on the second floor
of nn adjoining building and had been
awakened by the explosion.
The hank officials today were un
able to give the exact amount of plun
der secured, but stated that the hank
w f as insured against loss. As late as
11 o'clock today no attempt nad been
made to capture the robbers, except
to wire all adjoining towns to he on
the lookout for them.
Powers had been sheriff of Johnson
county for 12 years and was known tfr
be a fearless man and a crack shot.
COOK COUNTY DEMOCRACY
PENSACOLA’S CARNIVAL WEEK
The
Tho Duke of Marlborough is believed
to be the possessor of the costliest
painting In the world, which was at
one time the property of the first Duke
of Marlborough. The picture Is known
ns the “Blenheim Madonna,” painted
by Raphael in 1307 and now valued at
no less than £70,000. It Is eight feet
high and represents the Madonna and
Child seated on a throne, with a figure
of St. John the Baptist on the left and
that of St. Nicholas of Bari on the
right. Its almost fabulous value Is
due to the fact t lint it is one of the
best preserved of the artist’s works in
existence.
More peopie spend their time in won
dering why they are not loved than In
trying to make themselves lovable.—
