FIRST VICTIM IS COLVJLLE Qarilloa of Hit Responsibility for Undlcj DiMtlcr Waa lawtltsted Last Sam sMraas" He Was Retaliates Refuse to Resljo. LONDON. Dec. 27. The war office baa begun Ita promised reform of the army In a sensational manner. It has demanded the resignation of Major General Sir Henry Colvllle, command ing the Infantry brigade at Gibraltar and recently commanding the Ninth division of the South African field force. Colvllle refuses to resign and la now on his way to England. . The news Is all the more startling as the question of General Colvllle'a responsibility for the yeomanry dls' aster at Lindley last May was fully Investigated by the authorities when Colvllle waa reinstated In his command at Gibraltar. The attitude of the war office Indi cates that a new regime In Pan Mall will reverse the decisions of Lord Lans downe and Lord Wolseley in regard to some of the recent commanders in South Africa. General Colvllle. like General Methuen. has always been a great social personage In London, and a prominent clubman. He has had a most distinguished military career; has been repeatedly mentioned In dis patches, and Is familiarly known as "bdgers." He is also known as an author, and on the occasion of his marriage created a sensation by going on his honeymoon In a balloon. of Osgood, Tnd. Levi waa also a victim of the mob. The men killed were Rob ert Andrews. Heine Schuter, William Jenklna, a 17-year-old boy and Lixlt Levi, an aged soldier. There was a fight In which shot wens fired at a deputy sheriff. Jeiikin with the others was arrested and then taken to tail at Versailles, Ind. Mrs. Jenkins suspected that mb violence waa brew. Ing. walked from Osgood to Versailles at night and pxced the streets till dawn, armed with a revolver. For several hours she waited under the win dow of her husband'a cell, ready to challenge any who came to do him harm. Her fears being finally allayed, Mrs. Jenkins started for home. No sooner she out of sight than the mob gathered. Drajrping; out the five men, the members of the mob killed them In succession by beating them over the head with a musket stock. Mrs. Jenkins was compelled to flee to save her own life, coming to Chi cago. Here she brought suit for 13000 damages against Sheriff Bushing's bondsmen before Judge Baker In the I'nlted States circuit court. The eult dragged along for three years and fin ally the bondsmen decided to settle out side of court. Mrs. Jenkins, when compelled several montha ago to go to Ripley county to attend the trial of the case, was pro tected by a bodyguard of government detectives. She will go to Versailles next week to get the 14000. RUSSIA AFTER COREA. Secures Special Privileges From Corean Government the KSCAPED FROM THE ASYLUM. Millionaire Patient Gets Safely Away and Is In Hiding. NEW YORK. Dec, ST. The Times says: There Is every reason to believe that John Armstrong Chanler, the million aire who escaped from Bloomlngdale asylum at White Plains on November 28 last, never Intends to return to that institution. Samuel B. Lyons, superin tendent of the Bloomlngdale asylum, said last night that he firmly believes that Chanler has gone for good. "I believe." said he. "that Mr. Chan ler is waiting for a month to expire so he will be a free man and that he Is hiding with friends. At the expiration of a month after the time a patient leaves an asylum, under the state lun acy law. he cannot be brought back." It was learned last night that Mr. Chanler always believed his relatives were his enemies and for that reason the general opinion is that he has gone to West Virginia, where he owns a large stock farm. He often talked of going there and living a quiet life. DETECTIVES HARD AT WORK. Searching for More Clues In the Cud ahy Kidnapping Case. OMAHA. Dec. 27.
