was attacked by two footpads last night
while driving in the outskirts of the city.
The men sprang from the roadside and de-
manded money, but Mr.. Frantz whipped
up his horse and was rapidly distancing
his pursuers when one of them fired at
him, the shot taking effect in the left arm,
inhicting a painful wound.
WnKEsBARRE, Pa, April 16.-Domin-

so badly that both may die. The robbers,
who are thought to be Hungarians, took

ST. PAUL, MINI, April 16.-The strike
on the Great Northern railway is gradu-
ally working east, having taken in Grand
Forks, n. d., and If not settled soon will
probably reach this end of the line in
about two or three days. 1t is developing
a peculiar state of affairs The strike was
ordered by the American Railway union,
and is now being more actively antag-
onized by the railroad employees brother
hoods than by the railroad company itself.
There can be no doubt that the individ-
uals of the various brotherhoods are pri-
vately somewhat dissatisfied, but they re-
Gently accepted the revised schedules and
are standing by their agreement with the
company. The whole system is now tied
up from Minot to Seattle and from Seat
tie to New Westminster. Hardly a wheel
is turning or telegraph instrument tick
ing over two thousand miles of line.
