UP TO HIS NECK IN WATER Pennsylvania Man Steals Ride in Loco- motive Tank. ‘Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 29.—Having ridden from Buffalo to this city, 250 miles, in the tank of a Lehigh Valley railroad passenger locomotive, consid- ered an impossible feat in ride steal- ing, Willlam Bahmiller of Mauchunk ‘was arrested here. Being a machinist by trade and hav- ing worked on locomotive tanks he knew enough about their steel bracicg to risk hanging on and crawled in at Buffalo. He was in water up to his neck most of the time and when the locomotive dashed around curves he had hard work to save himself from drowning, as the water dashed all over him. He was also in danger each time the tank was filled, but escaped until it was being filled here, when the fire- man allowed it to run over and Bah- miller had to pop, his head out to get air and was discovered. After hearing his story Mayor Knif- fen fined him only $1. Ridicule Johnson Claims. Denver, June 29.—Such supporters of Governor Johnson for the presiden- tial nomination as are on the ground expressed themselves as being greatly cheered by dispatches from the East to the effect that Bryan would not be able (o control votes from there.

Detroit, Mich., June 29.—The troit police believe they are on the trail of Mrs. Bella Gunness of La- porte, Ind., who is suspected of whole- sale murder on her farm near that city.

El Paso, Tex., June 29.—In an en- counter between revolutionists and troops of the Mexican government at the town of Las Vacos, in Coahuila, Mex., near the border across from Del Rio, Tex., between forty and fifty men were killed and the commandant of the Mexican troops was badly injured, according to advices received here. The story of the battle as received ere is as follows: The quarters of the Mexican officers and barracks were fired upon by the attacking band and the assault cen- tered upon the federal customs house. Forty troops were finally assembled. In the disorder following the initial attack upon the barracks and the dis- covery that the quarters of the sol- diers were burning the revolutionists ¢aptured about sixty horses belonging to the Mexican cavalry. At the customs house the troops made a determined stand and the fighting lasted all morning without in- termission. It is said that 5,000 shots were exchanged. The revolutionists cut all telephone and telegraph wires leading to Las Vagos and thus prevented the be- sieged town from semding for rein- foreements. After heavy firing for six hours the attacking party was repulsed and com- munioation was established out of Las Vacos. The sherift of Valverde county, this state, telegraphed Governor Campbell of Texas that the revolutionists had been repulsed and that a number of them were fleeing to the United States. CALL IT WORK OF BANDITS. Mexioan Authorities Attach No Im. portance to Attack. San Antonio, Tex., June 29.—Ac- oording to a dispatch to the Express from Del Rio two attacks were made on the town of Las YVacos, Mex., across the border from Del Rio, by bandits, but, anticipating such an at- tack, the troops were in readiness and the raiders were repulsed. Desultory firing continued all day, however, and several hundred shots were fired across the river at persons on the American side. One man, Nester Lo- oz of Del Rio, is known to have been" Hled and Captain Herras, in com. mand of the Mexican troops, and Bas- sile Ramirez, a United States citizen, ‘wounded. As to ' further casualties nothing can be ascertained. Rein- forcements have been dispatched from the military base for that section of the republic, which is less than a day’s journey from Las Vacos. The authorities do not anticipate a recurrence of the outbreak. They at- tach no political significance to the at- tack and regard the matter as wholly the work of bandits. Las Vacos is a small town in the state of Coahuila a few miles up the Rio Grande river from Jiminez, the scene of the principal events of the revolt of September, 1906, Matter Discussed at Washington. ‘Washington, June 29.—During a call at the state department Senor Godoy, who, in the absence of Ambassador Creel, is representing the Mexican government at Washington, discussed with Acting Secretary Adee the sit- uation growing out of the revolution- ary movements in Mexico. The Mex- ican government has requested that the ‘United States assist in preventing violations of the neutrality laws. CALMLY AWAITING DEATH Cleveland Rabbi the Victim of a Rabid Dog. Cleveland, June 29.—Waiting ealmly for the fate that his physicians say threatens him Rabbi L. Friedman is at his home the victim of a rabid dog. “If God desires to call me at this time I am ready to go,” the rabbi said. “I do not feel any pain yet and I trust the treatment will prove successful. But the doctor seems to be discour- aged.” Rabbi Friedman is sixty-four years old and has retired as an active pas- tor. While walking in East Thirty- fifth street several days ago he was attacked and bitten upon the left hand by a dog. > Injections of serum have been given him regularly in the hope that rabies and lockjaw could be prevented. ALONG RUSSTAN FRONTIER Government and Opponents at War In Many- Persian Cities. Tiflis, June 29.—Fighting is going on between the followers of the shah end the factions opposed to him at Ardabil, Kasvin, Resht and other Per- sian cities along the Russian frontier. The ‘partisans of o> shah are gaid to have gained the !per hand. It is reported that in several cases revolu- tionary leaders who were - captured Wwere subjected to severe torture. The shah has caused to be posted throughout the provineial cities copies of a decree ordering the people to sur- render their arms to the government arsenals under pain of drastic punish- ment, According to speclal dispatches re- ceived here from Teheran the shah recelved several deputations, includ- ing a group of members of parliament. He said he had no desire to punish parliament for the recent disorders, the responsibility “for which rested upon those persons who had first at- tacked the tropps. Rigorous measures against the press of Teheran have been adopted. All printing offices in the capiial are kept closed. The shah has sent the members of his family to his summer residence outside the city, while he himself re- mains at the military camp. The commander of the Cossack regi- ment has ordered that all soldiers guilty of attempting to pillage the houses of Europeans be tried by court- martial, TUCKER CASE UNDECIDED Taft Will Leave War Departmet Without Taking Action. Washington, June 29.—Secretary Taft will go out of office without talk- ing any action in the case of Lieuten- ant Colonel William F. Tucker, hus- band of Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, daughter of General John A. Logan. Mrs. Tucker and her mother went pergonally to the war department more than a year ago and complained of the relations of Colonel Tucker with ‘women in this country and the Philip- MARY LOGAN TUCKER. pines. An investigation was made, the report of which has beéen in the hands of Mr. Taft since last August. Major Galbraith and Major West were assigned to investigate, one in Chicago, where Colonel Tucker is sta- tioned, and the other on the Pacific coast. Majors Galbraith and West report- ed exonerating Colonel Tucker. This much became known, but the text of their report was not given out either to Mrs. Tucker or her husband. It never became known what was re- ported from the Philippines from time to time. UNIQUE LEGISLATIVE TRIP Action of Georgia Lawmakers Causes Much Discussion. Atlanta, Ga., June 29.—Much discus- sion has been caused all over the state by the decision of the Georgia legisla- ture to visit Chattanooga, Tenn., as a body next Friday and Saturday, travel- ing on a privaie train furnished free by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway, ~This railway is the lessee of the Western and Atlantic railroad, which is state property and which the legislature will inspect. The trip is unique, not only in the fact that the legislature has decided it 18 not violating the state railroad pass law and the interstate commerce law, because it is traveling over its own property, but in that for the first time in the history of Georgia the house and senate, from page boy up and as a body, will leave the confines of the state. Chattancoga, it is understood, wishes to lease part of the property of the Western and Atlantic for street purposes and for this reason Georgia will send its legislature to that city. VIEW CLEVELAND'S GRAVE Hundreds of People Visit Princeton Cemetery. Princeton, N. J.,, June 29.—Hun- dreds of people visited the grave of Grover Cleveland in Princeton ceme- tery. Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied by little Richard and Professor John Grier Hibben, went to the cemetery before 7 a. m., where Mrs. Cleveland stood for some time beside the flower strewn graves of her husband and her daughter Ruth. A member of the lo- cal militia stood guard at the grave throughout the night and was relieved in the morning by another guardsman. The men were not in uniform in obe- dience to Mrs. Cleveland’s desire to avoid anything of a military character. The plot will be guarded for several days. Messages and letters of con- dolence continue to come in by the score. Plan Monument to Cleveland. Newark, N. J, June 29.—A move- ment has been started in this county, where Grover Cleveland was born, to raise a fund for a national monument to his memory.

Y., June 29.—The Syracuse crew won the varsity four- oared race on the Hudson. Pennsyl- vania was second and Columbia third.

Norfolk, Neb., June 29.—The death list in the Northwestern freight wreck near Chadron has reached ten—three trainmen and seven tramps. Two train- men and three tramps were injured. The right leg of one engineer was torn off between the thigh and hip.. The two dead enginemen were pinned un- der the wreckage and scalded to death, their flesh falling off when taken out. THAN'S LATESTHOIE SEEKS NEW TRIAL BY JURY Believes He Can Convince Twelve Men of His Present Sanity and Thus Avoid Being Returned to the Mat- teawan Asylum. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. June 29.— Harry Thaw has pbtained a new writ of habeas corpus returnable before Su- preme Court Justice Mills at White Plains, when counsel for Thaw will endeavor to secure a jury trial to pass upon his mental condition. The writ was served on Under Sher- iff Townsend in anticipation of Judge Morschauser’s signing an order re- committing Thaw to Matteawan. The writ has the effect of holding Thaw here until the sheriff will be required to produce him before Judge Mills at ‘White Plains. The petition on which Judge Mills granted the new writ is made by A. Russell Peabody as attorney and next friend of Thaw. It recites that Thaw is restrained of his liberty by Sheriff Robert W. Chanler of Dutchess coun- ty and that he is not detained by vir- tue of any mandate issued by a court or judge of the United States, nor by a final judgment or decree of a com- petent tribunal of civil or criminal Jjurisdiction. The petition attacks the validity of Thaw’s commitment to the custody of the sheriff of Dutchess county, as well as the commitment to Matteawan after the second trial, when the jury rendered a verdict of acquit- tal on account of insanity. The peti- tion holds that Thaw, after his ac- quittal, could not be lawfully re- strained of his liberty as an insane person without an inquisition in lunacy, in which he would be entitled to have the issue of his sanity deter- mined by a jury. The anticipation by Thaw and his counsel that Justice Morschauser would recommit the slayer of Stanford White to Matteawan proved correct. District Attorney Mack presented to the judge the formal order of recom- mitment to Matteawan, which Justice Morschauser promptly signed. It would have had the effect of re- turning Thaw to Matteawan at once, but just before the order was signed Under Sheriff Townsend, who has been the custodian of Thaw ever since the first habeas corpus proceedings were begun, was served with the new writ of habeas corpus, which com- mands the sheriff to produce Thaw in the supreme court at White Plains. REASON FOR NEW TRIAL. Misconduct of Jury Alleged in Land Fraud Case. ‘Washington, June 29.—Misconduct of the jury atter the case was submit- ted to it, amounting to a barter of the liberty of Frederick A. Hyde and Joost H. Schneider of San Francisco to effect an agreement upon a verdict, Is alleged by Hyde and Schneider, re- cently convicted of conspiracy to de- fraud the government of public lands In an additional assignment of reasons for a new trial. This supplemental reason charges that the verdict was the result of an agreement among the Jurors that if some of their number who held a different view would agree to convict the two men other jurors would vote to acquit Benson and Di- mond. NO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE Hull and Prouty to Go on Ticket as Independents. Des Moines, June 29.—It now seems certain that there will be no regularly nominated Republican candidate for congress in the Seventh Iowa district and both Captain Hull and Judge Prouty may go on the ballot as inde- pendents. It is more than probable that the Dallas county contest will be carried to the state supreme court and there Is but slight chance of it being decid- ed before the November election. In that event there will be no Repub- lican candidate and if either Judge Prouty or Captain Hull wish to make the race for congress they must get on the ballot by petition as independ- ents. First Conviction of Night Rider. Paducah, Ky., June 29.—The first night rider convicted in the state was secured when the jury returned a ver- dict of one year in the penitentiary In the case of Dr. E. Champion at Benton. Dr. Champion, who is a prominent young physician of Lynn county, was accused of participating in the raid on Birmingham, Marshall county, last April, when John Cruggs, an aged negro, and his five-months-old granddaughter were shot and killed end several negroes whipped. German Car in the Lead. Berlin, June 29.—A local newspaper prints a dispatch from Tomsk, Si- beria, dated June 26, saying that the German car in the New York to Paris automobile race has come in there and expects to reach Moscow in a fort- night and Berlin in twenty days. This car has made 572 miles in the seventy- pight hours previous to its arrival at Tomsk. It is assumed that the Amer- Jean car is some distance behind its Herman competitor. Athletes Sail for Europe. New York, June 29.—When the Ateamer Philadelphia sailed for Eu- rope it carried practically all of the American team of athletes who are to oompete in the Olympic games at London. In many quarters it is re- garded as the strongest and most rep- resentgtive body of athletes ever sent from America to compete with Hu- rope’s pick. Thousands of enthusiasts orowded the pler long before the steamer was seheduled to sail and sqveral brass bands enlivened the oc- Moderate alume Baking Powder $1,000.00 will bo given for any substance injurionsto ‘healthfound in Calumet.
