KNIGHT
MISS MARIE WARE
WANTED
: BY LAW
Omaha Criminal Is
; Believed to Be
in Portland.
Charged With Having Killed His
. ' Wife. Is oa His Way
- Jo the Orient. .
Th 'Portland police arc on the look
out for Prank K. Knight, who la b
'. ' v levee to have poisoned hla wife, aa-
1 : cretly burying bar and afterward fleeing
; from Omaha. It la believed that Knight
i 1 either headm? for thla city, or that
, he has bmn here and gone, hi" object
being to tak ship for a port beyond th
MM, where ha might obtain freedom
. from tha avenging hand of Justice.
Earl In April. Mrs. Knight dlsap-
peeredand friends, aided by tha police.
et about to aolve the myiittt. But
notwithstanding the continued efforta of
v the officials of Omaha and many other
el t lea, neither the missing woman nor
her much-wanted husband have been
'found. - .
-On April 13. Mra. Luey Stiles and her
. non, Malvin Pusenberry. were placed
tinder arrest In connection with tha mys
terlcrua case. On that data the detec
tives had traced Knight aa far West aa
- North Platte. At that time It waa
thought- that ha waa making bis way to
- Cheyenne, Wyo., where lives Jennie Du
en berry, with whom he waa alleged to
have had clandestine correapondence,
Subsequent Investigation developed tha
fact that on April 14 he wrote the foU
Jewing letter from Cheyenne to Mrs.
Stiles in Omaha, which the police Inter-
rented:
"I took your advice, and I think X
deluded the police all right. It waa Melt's
Mai vine. Pusenberry) giving me away
ty saying 1 waa going to atore the trunk
that did the bueinesa. . I send you a let
ter to put lit the box tor me. to cause
the authorities to think. I. am stilt in
. Omaha. Mrs. Knight intended the dose
tor me, tut I caught on and. changed
, the cups, and you know ..the rest," '
ttory 'of Mystery.
The, disappearance of . Mrs. . Knight
" ranks among the moat mysterioua on
record.- She' was known ton large cote-
ria of friends, and was idolised by all
with whom he came In contact. Knight
was employed in a large packing house
In South Omaha, and when asked for
Information regarding hie wife said she
had moved to a new home close to his
claAeoof temolovmest ' ' H '
Further investigation proved that Mrs.
Knight had not removed to South Omaha,'
. - To add to the mystery, the police learn
d from reliable sources that Knight
had borrowed a team and wagon from
.' Pusenberry one night which he used
to convey something from his home in
Omaha. The officials are of the opinion
that it ; waa the -lifeless form of his
wife that he hauled from the acene .of
the crime, concealing the corpse in
lonely and obscure place.
The letter published above is thought
to' be a sure Indication that Knight
ctosoned his wue. as he rtfert to "the
deee". and "changing the cups." When
the Investigation got too ho for Knight,
he skipped out without conaumlng aufll
ient time in which to draw his wages
t the South Omaha packing house.
The Portland police believe that
Xnlght fully intended coming to the far
'' 'West,, to escape from the minions of
the Jaw by taking passage en a deep.
:' sea vessel for a foreign clime. There
fore; detectives are keeping a strict
watch along the water front in the hope
tpf picking him up should he sppear.

Manager W, .A, Dodderly was. just con
gratulating himself and his partners on
their good fortune when hla Assurance
turned to alarm, for the flames were rap
idly approaching:-hla building, driven
by the now strong'-creasa, - Then the
flames began eating their way into the
heds and stables, and before, an hour
had passed "the stockyards were a
smouldering mass of ruins. Manager
Dodderly estimated his loss at $10,000,
covered in part by insurance. - "It was
most fortunate." said he, "to have time
In which to get the livestock from the
premises. Had tw1 wind . been blowing
from the east all would have been'burned
and the Ions would' have- been far
greater." '
'The large brick ' warehonee belonging
to the y. F. Fuller Paint Company, at
the foot of Sixteenth street, was hi great
danger for over half an hour. There
was a large pile of lumber in front of the
building, and it burned fiercely, the wind
blowing the hot blasts of flame directly
against tha warehouse. Luckily, how
ever, the fuel supply waa exhausted be
fore the heat was sufficiently intense to
ignite the inflammable material inside,
and the building with its contents was
saved.
Tlie Star Sand Company's plant, valued
at $76,000, was thought to be doomed
when the flames were leaping fiercely
about not more than a block distant to
the north, but a large sand spit Inter
vened to save 'it. from destruction.
A group of small , dwelling houses
near the Fuller warehouse were scorched,
but a small stream of water sufficed to
save them from destruction. '; '

I have more pride than ever In them. A
more gallant and determined set of men
never served a city, and to their per
sistent efforta and irrlm determination, t
attribute the fact that far greater loss
of property was averted.
"We had a miserable water supply, and
it was enough to make one cry to see
the men, frantic to suudue the flames,
unable to mnke headway on aqcount of
feeble streams, with but little force in

Whose beat the fire .occurred, guarded
the north approach-to the mill, and it is
believed that he saved the life of a boy
whose curiosity lured him too close to
the flames. HemswortH saw the childish
figure in thn hazy smoke and ran after

eould not give his name, but soon scam
pered off for his home. His hair was

Letter written at the site of the burn

The department did all in their power,
with the lack of equipment and shortage

Campbell seemed to be everywhere at
once, ana covered every available point
The main on Front street was so small
that the new engine stationed there
pumped all the available water, leaving
the Front-street main almost dry.
"John Toung and other assistants put
forth heroic efforts, and took chances
with their lives, some of 'them being
hurt and scorched. By main-force and
determination, the warehouse of the Ore
