Af- ter the asssult on Moyer, Roderick was released from -custody on $1,000 bonds, fur- nished by Ragmus Campbell, & relative, and his attorney;! Emmet Tinley. Yester- day Mr, Campbelf declined to continue fur- ther as bondsman for. Roderick and until he secures a new bond he will be com- mitted to the county jail. Late Wednesday night Roderick got into trouble ‘and was: arrested at the Kansas City hotel on South Main street on & charge of being drunk and disturbing the peace. He is alleged to have resisted the officer and bad to be subdued with a club. In police court yesterday morning Judge Scott sentenced him to twenty days on bread and water. { One of the conditions on which Mr. Camp- bell signed Roderick’'s bond was that the latter should abstaln from liquor. When he violated this provision Mr. Campbell at once decided to turn Roderick over to the ‘authorities. ’ Mrs. Roderick called upon County At- torney Killpack yesterday and sought to bhave the saloon in the Kansas City house closed, alleging that the proprietor had sold Roderick liquor when she had notified him not to do so.

The grand military dem ration and sham battle, heralded as the big spectacular feature of the reunion of the National Boclety, Army of the Philippines, attracted & crowd conservatively estimated at 36,000 people to Lake Manawa yesterday even- iny Soldlers in uniform ve and will probably always prove & strong drawing card, but soldlers in battle array, with cannon and the other accountrements of warfare, mimic though it might be, proved the strongest kind of an attraction, as evidenced by the masses of people—men, women and chilren, who crowded the forty acrea selected for the military display and by their numbérs prevented the carry- ing out of the program as originally ar- ranged. At least the fallure to carry out the published program was ascribed by those in charge to the immense throngs which crowded the flel d made the pre- arranged evolutions of the troops Impossi- ble. From early morning the people began gathering at the lake, this being especially true of the country folk who drove there in wagohs and in almost every conceivable kind of vehicle. These took their dinner and supper with them a it at the resort, with the intention of belng early on the fleld and securing & vantage point from which to view the battle, Others waited until they had seen the parade in the city, then they hastened to board the cars to the lake and from shortly after noon until 9 o'clock at night every train bound to Manawa was laden to its ca- pacity. The crowd was the biggest in the history of the lake resort. This was generally con- ceded and many estimated the number of people there at 8 o'clock, the time an- nounced for the commencement of tte mili- tary spectacle at 30,000 Soldiers Seated Free. The soldiers wes taken to the lake shortly after 5 o'clock and given dinner there. The grandstand had been transferred from the base ball fleld to ome corner of the forty-acre tract and this was speedily filled, despite the fact that 50 cents was exacted for each seat. This charge nearly caused the whole display to be called off. Lieutenant Macrae i d that Manager Grifith permit the soldlers attending the reunion to occupy the grandstand free of charge. The management demurred and Lieutenant Macras, as president of the Jowa soclety, threatened to declare the sham battle off and order the soldlers back to the city. The privilegs to th siting soldiers was finally conceded and announce- ment made that the program would be carried out. Bight o'clock came but no suww, Hall L 2 4 _and et no sign of anything doing. The crowd, however, was good natured and amused itself by cheering the different companies as they marched Into the fleld, stacked arms and waited for orders which came not. By this time nearly the entire fleld was covered by the crowd and Lieutenant Gray, “grand military demonstration and sham battle” had been assigned, was kept busy using the soldiers on the fleld in trylng tu drive the crowd back. + At 9 o'clock the Dodge Light Guards gave the ‘shooy-fly” drill, but this was only to a portich of the crowd in the sign of the ::: had been scheduled for the might and had evidently been relied upon by the man- agement to make i{s appearance. Incandes- cent lights had been strung part way around the fleld, but they y served to make the darkness the more apparent. A search'ight located In one corner of the fleld was thrown across the arm of the lake and suc- ceeded in dimly outlining the blockhouse and revealing the forms of the white-clad cadets, repres g the Filipinos, as they crossed the pontoon bridge and disappeared from sight among the weeds of the island. They crossed this bridge at 8 o'clock and walted patiently in the weeds for over an bour, while the masquitoes fed off them, to bo attacked or be given the opportunity to attack something, even it it was only a ham sandwich or & sack of cracker-jack. Orders Come Late. around on the grass waiting for the orders for the sham battle until nearly 9:30 o'clock when orders were given to the Twenty-sec- ond infantry to deploy across the far they could. Then things began to move & bit and the crowd was on the tiptoe of tion. From afar off there was & volley, but who fired it was only knowa to those in the immediate viclaity. After an interval of about five minutes there was another volley and then silence again reigned supreme except for the good- natured cheering of the crowd. But at last the battle, If it could by any stretch of the most fervid imagination be called such, began. The regulars were thrown in an open order across the fleld and fired -volley after volley. Th ling guns were drawn inte action and used up soe ~ .peir ammunition, The militia boys had sevénty rounds of blank ammu- nition each and they were itching to ex- pend them on the midnight alr. An orderly dashed up to Lieutenant Gray and eals “Lieutenant, we have of ammuntion.

Night Watchman Jones dis- covered the fire at 4:15 a. m. and at once sounded the alarm. The alarm rang down town and the Ames fire company and a large crowd were soon on the ground. The fire originated in the rear of the bullding and rushed up the freight elevator shaft. In an hour the entire bullding was in flames and efforts were directed towards saving the heating plant located in the rear of the bullding. The water tank was dry, having been drained yesterday to be painted, so water could not be obtained until the pump ‘whp started. The bullding was quickly con- sumed and this afternoon the walls were loveled to the ground. The bullding, Wa$ inhabited by nine stu- dents, who escaped safely with all their be- longings, and the office and laboratories of the botanical department, where everyihing was safely removed, the loss being confined to the bullding alone. The total cost of the bullding, the erection of which was com- ed in the fall of 1868, including repairs and additions, was $228,400. The north wing was destroyed by fire December 8, 1000, dur- ing the college term, and the damaged por- tlon remaining was worth less that $8,000. Plans were already drawn up for a new cen- tral bullding, so the fire only does away with the task of tearing down the old main bullding, which had been condemned.
