FACED DEATH.
G. THIBERT HUNG IN MOUTH OF
PENSTOCK AT NIAGARA.
Small Rope That Sustained Ifim Wae
Fouled, and Rushing Watera Threat-
ened- to Carry Him Down at Any
Minute --Rescued, But Badly Hurt.
A Niagara Falls despatch: For a long
half-hour today Godfrey Thibert hung
by a thin rope in the mouth of one of
the great penstocks of the Electrical De-
velopment Company's power house while
thousands of tons of water tore at his
swaying body to carry him to desiruc•

this. morning Thibert donned a. diver's
outfit and went down into the forebay
to do some work. The current running
through the head gate of penstock No,
3 caught him and larked him into the
mouth of the pipe. The rope prevented
hies from going down, but when the mut
above tried to pull him out it was found
that the rope was fouled by an ao bar,
and the diver could not be raised.
It was impossible to shut down the
head gate and stop the rush of water,
for Thibert was hanging right under
the gate, and it would hart eat him in
two. The men on the line ecoid at
their posts, straining every nerve to lift
their imperilled mate, yet fearing each
minute that the life line would part from
the strain or be worn through where it
was foul of the ironwork, and Thibert be
snatched down one hundred and fifty
feet into the turbine wheel. The pump
tenders worked like machines, sending
an uninterrupted supply of life-sustain-
ing air down .through the hose to Thi•

Every possible scheme was brought
into play to release the fouled rope, but
it was half au hour before a prdetioable
way was found. When the rope was at
last free and the men pulled it in they
did not know whether it was a living

When the ambulance surgeon was ex.

hie senses and started to tear up two
letters which he pulled from a pocket.
Before Policeman Elwood, of the Adams

MURDER IN CANADIAN WATERS
IS UNPUNISHED,
The Terrible Act of Whaling Captain-.
Arrested at San Francisco and Tried
—No Question of Jurisdiction Will
Arise.
An Ottawa despatch: The question of
Canadian or United States jurisdiction
in the Arctic seas will not arise in
connection with the arrest of Capt.
Klengeuberg, of the United States
steam whaler Olga, for murder. Two
winters ago the Olga was icebound
off Point Barrow in the Canadian
Arctic, Klelgeuberg, emu all ac-
counts, was a veritable msu'tinet,- nod
had his crew simply terrorized. IIe
had a falling-out with - his chief ' en-
gineer, J. D. Paul, and one day step-
ped to the engine room and shot Paul
dead. •+
As noon' as the, news reached Otta-
wa the `Canadian authorities issued
a warrant for the arrest of Klengen•
berg, but his vessel did not touch a1:'
any Canadian port, and when the
Olga reached; San Francisco the cap-
tain was .arrested there. The trial
lastcd''for, some time, and when the
ease WEI "omitted to the jury last
week they returned a ,verdict, after
six hours' deliberation, of not guilty.
Word to, this effect was received
by tic `Gos•ernnient to -cloy, It ap-
pears that the decleion of the joy
was influenced by the fact that sev-
eral of the witnesses" who testified
strongly against Klengenberg at the
San Francisco trial had previously
made affidavits exculpating the esp-
tain entirely, and declaring that he
slot Paul in self-defence.
They further said that the affidavits
were exbo'ted from them by threats of
personal violence from Klengenberg,
Ifowever, the jury' gave the prisoner the
benefit of the doubt, and he has been
liberated.
