" Agonizing: Fate.
Brockton, Mains., March SO.— A bolln
exploded In the R. V. Grover shoe fac-1
tory hers this morning. i
At 10:30 o’clock the Are was virtual-!
!y under control, but owing to the great
heat a search of the ruins at that tlm<
Was Impossible. The number of persons
then missing was estimated at fifty
One hour later search for the dead ant
Wounded was Instituted and twenty-flvf
bodies were soon recovered. Many ol
them were so badly mutilated and
burned as to make identification dlltl-
eult and In some cases Impossible.
The entire Grove.r plant was destroy-
ed by fire, which spread to adjoining
business structures and private resi-
dences. The boiler which exploded waj
located on the ground floor h, the ol
part of the four-story wooden factory
(When the explosion occurred that pari
of the factory directly above collapsed
A moment after the explosion fire broke
out In the wreckage.
The financial loss Is estimated at
$200,000.
The boiler which exploded was lo-
cated on the ground floor of the el!
which extended from the main building
In three stories of the ell were work
rooms. Persons living near h -ard a
•(Bull roar and saw a cloud of smoke ris-
ing and the ell of the factory falling tc
the ground. Flames burst front th<
trains, spreading quickly to the main
letructure, which In a few minutes war
a roaring furnace. Most of the employ*
dn the main part of the plant succeed'*'*
jin escaping, although In the terrlblf
(panic which followed the explosior
guite a number were Injured.
The Grover factory Is situated at th?
corner of Main and Cahnar streets ir
’the Campbell district, about a mile
(south of the city hall. The district Is
Iwlthin the city limits of Rrockton. A
jteries of alarms summoned all the ap-
paratus In the city and aid also wa;
*ent from near-by places. Th“ heat ol
[the fire was so Intense that the work
•of the firemen and police was carries
on under great difficulties. Their at-
tention was chiefly given to the Grovel
building, especially to that part whlct
’was nearest th-.- holler house, and It
the early stages of the fire a numhet
of employes were extricated from th<
'ruins. The Games, however, soon stop-
ped rescue work. Tons of water wers
.poured on the ell. but the fire from ths
main structure heenma too hot for ef-
fective work and the entire plant, with
Those who failed to escape, had to be
abandoned. Meanwhile news of the nc-
'cld -nt reached the homes of the oper-
atives and through the crowds already
near the burning factory men and
women were struggling wildly toward
the center to get news of relatives, tb«
cries of which were heard above the
roaring flames Women were frantic pi
they learned there was little hope for
any one caught In the ell of the build-
ing
When the flames reached DnhlburgT
block even the firemen were obliged tc
retreat temporarily, and It was feared
a large section of the district would h»
obl't -rated. The occupants of all thest
buildings had little time to save theli
effects. Some barely escaped themselves
Reinforced by the arrival of other ap-
paratus, how -ver, the department mad'
a fresh attack and after a hard struggK
succeeded In checking the flames.
At o’clock Monday afternoon lire chlei
estimated death list at fifty.
In so-. o cases nothing but framework
of bones of corpses have been found.
After fifty-five bodies were gotoul
further search was abandoned.
DREADFUL DEATH.

heart Jilted Him.
Houston. March 22.—Recause he was
jilted by his sweetheart. Dock A. Me-
E-oan of Baileyvllle, came to Houston tc
commit suicide. He succeeded In doing
It In a sensational way.
When his sweetheart refused him he
told her he would kill himself. "If you
do. send me your body.” she replied. He
came to Houston and remained three
days. Jumped In the bayou to drown
himself, but remembered that he had
failed to write Instructions that 111?
body be sent to the girl, so swam
ashore. He then went to the police sta-
tion. where he was locked up. There he
wrote directions for sending his body to
the woman, then broke a glass vessel
sent him with his evening meal, and
with fragments of the glass tore his
throat open from car to ear. The Jugu-
lar ve'n was torn In two. In Ids death
etruggles he besmeared the entire cell
frightfully with blood.

IN TEXAS’ FAVOR.
Lands Granted For School Purposes
Belong to Lone Star State.
Washington. March 20—In an opinion
by Justice Holmes the supreme court
of the United States decides In fnvoj
of the state of Texas In the controversy
between Greer county, Oklahoma, and
Texas over lands granted by that state
to the county for school purposes wher
that county was part of Texas. The
decision Is based on the ground that
Greer county, Oklahoma, Is not thi
same person that Greer county, Texas
was, and that It, therefore, has no claim
upon the Texas school funds.
HOW IT ORIGINATED.
Case Was Appealed From the Court ol
Civil Appeals.
Washing'., ”, March 21.--The contro-
versy relative to the school land mat-
te- of Greer county which the supreme
court Monday, In an opinion handed
down by Justice Holmes, decided Ir
favor of Texas, arose out of the fact
that the territory Included In Greei
county formerly was considered a?
within the territorial limits of Texas
and while the county was thus counted
four leagues of land lying In Hockley
and Cochran counties, Texas, were pat-
ented to the county under the laws ol
Texas for school purposes.
When the supreme court decided ir
1 SO6 that Greer co; nty was no part ol
Texas, and the county became a part
of Oklahoma, Texas Instituted proceed-
ings in t,he courts of that state to re-
cover that land, and the decisions were
favorable to the state. The case enrm
to the supreme court from the court ol
civil appeals from the district court d
th,. state, and that court's decision was
affirmed.
