BARRICADE A HOUSE LIKE FORT
Member of Galy, Using Wife and

Big Revolvers, Holds Off a Mob of a
Thousand Men — Detective English
Kills Thomas Manning.
Pittsburg, Pa. (Special) .—In a
desperate battle between county de-
tectives and members of a gang of
robbers who have been committing
depredations in the vicinity of Mec-
Keesport for several months past,
Thomas Manning, one of the robbers,
was shot by the county detectives and
received injuries from which he died,
while County Detective John 8. Eng-
lert, who was in charge of the case,
and who fired the shots which killed
Manning, was twice wounded and is
in a serious condition.
Wilmer Patterson, another member
of the gang, in whose house the rob-
bers took refuge and barricaded
themselves, stood off a mob of 1,000
men for two hours after the shoot-
ing of Englert and while other mem-
bers of the county detective force
were hurrying to the scene. With his
wife and little son as a shield, and
leveling two big revolvers at them,
Patterson defied the mob. It was not
until 20 members of the county de-
tective force arrived and surrounded
the house that Patterson was arrest-
ed. Later in the day his father, Jo-
seph Patterson, and his brother, John
Patterson, were placed under arrest
as members of the gang.
For a number of weeks past the
residents of the Youghiogheny Valley
have been terrorized by a gang of
burglars who have been robbing
stores, residences and railroad sta-
tions, the climax being capped sever-
al weeks ago when a street car on
the West Pennsylvania Electric Line
was held up in true Western style and
everyone aboard robbed. Suspicion
led to the Pattersons and early this
week County Detective Englert start-
ed to weave a net about them. Sat-
urday he had his case well in hand,
and, after watching the residence of
Wilmer Patterson for several days, he
was rewarded by seeing Patterson
and Manning enter. Although he]
knew that the men were desperate,
Englert did not anticipate that they
would put up a battle When he
knocked at the door and demanded
that they surrender he found himself
looking into four revolvers, two in|
the hands of each man. i
Without waiting to argue Englert |
pulled his own weapon and the battle!
commenced. Manning dropped at the
opening of the battle, two shots hav-|
ing entered his head. Patterson then
started to fire at the detective and
endeavored to drag the unconscious
Manning back in the house. Englert, |
in spite of the fact that he was twice
shot, drove Patterson inside and kept
Manning. Scores of people had been
attracted by the shots and within half
an hour the mob had been increased
to 1,000. Meantime a physician had
taken Manning to a hospital and
dressed the wounds of Englert on the
spot, he refusing to leave. He had
hurriedy dispatched a messenger to
the office of Chief of County Detec-
tives George H. Waggoner, who, with
20 of his best men, hurried to the
scene. Patterson still refused to sur.
render when Waggoner commanded
him to do so, and it was not until
he was told he would be smoked out
that he finally surrendered. Later,
when the house was searched, much
of the stolen plunder was found.
ROOSEVELT'S AFRICAN TRIP.
President Acknowledges That He Is
Going After Big Game,
Washington, D. C. (Special). —
Acknowledgment was made tha‘
President Roosevelf would start in
April, 1909, for an extended hunt-
ing trip in British East Africa. While
it has been known for sometime past
that the President has been econtem-
plating such a trip, no confirmation
of the report was given until today.
It is planned that early in April
President Roosevelt will sail, accom-
panied by his second son, Kermit,
and go direct to Africa. The Presi-
dent expects to spend one year on the
expedition and already a good deal
of correspondence has takeg, place
preparatory to the arrangements for
the hunt, such as guides, transporta-
tion and subsistence supplies.
The President will carry with him
a full equipment of the modern weap
ons for killing large game and he
expects to bring home with him one
specimen of each of the #pecies
abounding In that region. He in-
tends to devote much time to the
study of African wild animals and
will study the habits of the beasts
in their homes,

Parkersburg, WwW. Va.e (Special).
As a result of charges being pre

tremendous sensation in local poli-
tical circles. © The accused man's
friends say that it is a plot instigated
by bis political enemies, and that
when the hearing comes up counter
charges will be made that will cause
a still greater gensaiion.

OVER ARKANSAS
Twenty-One Lives Lost in Nebraska
and Kansas,
-e
Omaha, Neb. (Special).—A torna-
do which passed over Southern Ne-
braska and portions of Northern
Kansas Friday evening was the most
destructive and covered the most ter-
ritory of any similar storm which
has visited that region in many years.
At least 21 persons were killed, 5
were fatally injured and a score of
others hurt. In addition, reports to-
night say that several persons were
killed at Byron, Neb, and Phillips-
burg and Courtland, Kan., which
towns have been cut off from com-
munication. ,
The storm was general throughout
Fillmore, Webster, Franklin and
Thayer Counties, Neb., and reached
over into Kansas, from where reports
are coming slowly of great destruc-
tion. The towns of Carleton, Fair-
fleld, Deshler, Shickley, Geneva,
Franklin, Ong and Riverton, Neb.,
are among those visited by the storm,
and in no one of them did the ele-
ments spare life or property.
At Carleton five residences and
two churches were destroyed, while
a new school building and 30 houses
were partly wrecked. The home of
Lester Carter was demolished and
his wife and baby were killed, while
Carter himself and another child suf-
fered severe injuries.
At Geneva the storm wrought
great destruction; and in the ad-
Jacent county claimed several vie-
tims, dead or injured.
At Fairfield more than 40 build-
ings were partly wrecked or de-
molished. The loss there will exceed
$100,000. Vague reports from other
points cannot be confirmed because
of broken wires.
Trains in all directions are aban-
doned because of washouts and de-
stroyed roadbeds.

San Pedro, Cal. (Special).—A ter-
rible accident occurred en board the
United States armored cruiser Ten-
nessee while the ship was steaming
at 19 knots on a speed trial off Point
Huenene, Cal, a steampipe In the
starboard engine-room bursting un-
der 235 pounds pressure, killing six
men and injuring elght others, all
the men in the compartment at the
time.
The explosion, the cause of which
is unknown, occurred only a few
minutes after Admiral Uriel Sebree,
Capt. W. H. Ward and Chief Engi-
neer Robertson had left the engine
room on a tour of inspection. Four
of the men were killed instantly and
two moré died at San Pedro after
the arrival of the Tennessee.
There were 14 men in the fireroom
when the tube, which is 4 inches in
diameter and inclosed with water in-
side the boiler, blew out, driving a
torrent of scalding steam, coal dust,
cinders and hot ashes through the
ash pit and showered the half-naked
men.
A blast of white steam from the
ventilators told those on deck of the
accident, and Lieutenant Command-
er 8. 8. Robinson, the navigator, in-
stantly sounded a general alarm and

particular element of tragedy was
glven to the affair by the facet that
the woman and two of the men were
evidently on their way to attend the
June ball at the Naval Acadamy, and
they presented, lying dead on the
track dressed in the attire of the
ballroom, a sad suggestion of the
light and dark in human life, one in-
stant full of happy anticipation of
an evening of dancing and Jjoyous-
ness, the next brought face to face
with eternity, their pitiful bodies and
bloodstained faces to be gazed at with
compassion or idle curiosity, accord-
ing to the nature of those who com-
posed the crowd which quickly as-
sembled.
The responsibility for the accident
has not been definitely determined,
but there was, it was stated, a con-
fusion in the orders as to where the
cars should pass. The cars were both
specials, the down car from Balti-
more and the other from Annapolis,
which left at 7.45. The accident oc-~
