COL. CRoFTON, OF THE FIJI
TENTH, ESCAPES DEATH.
a Lieutenant Fires Three Shots ut
Him on the Parade GrOund-De-
mentia the Cause.

CHICAGO. Oct. 3.-Colonel R. L. Croft
ton, commander of the Fifteenth infant
~ at Fort Sheridan, narrowly escaped
death. or at least a severe wound at the
hands of Lieutenant S. S. Pague, of COM
pany F, Fifteenth infantry, this after
noon. The lieutenant fired three shots
at the commander. One passed through
the fold Of his overeoat, just over the
right groin and the second and third
passed close to Nle body.
PaSue, a, few moments before, had es-
capped from the hospital, where he had
been undergoing treatment for mental
trouble occasioned it is said, by over in
diligence in liquor. At the fort, tonight,
1t was said that the Lieutenant was not
responsible for his act. and that his
meeting with Crofton was a chance meet
ing.
The shooting occasioned great excite
ment at the fort, both because of the
universal good favor in which Pague is
held by his comrades, who regret exceed
ingly his mental trouble, and because it
was the second time that an officer of
the Fifteenth infantry who was suffering
from dementia has attacked Colonel
Croftom
Pague. some time ago, spent several
weeks at a. Equor cure esta blishment
The treatment had been greatly benefi-
cilal to HIM. A few weeks ago, however,
his comrades and superior officers no.
ticed that his actions were strange and
not those of a man mentally responsible.
1t was then concluded that the, treat
ment had affected his brain. During the
visit of General Merritt to the fort re-
Gently, Pague's actions were so bad that
he was ordered sent to the post hospital
for treatment. This afternoon while the
attendants were busy in another part Of
the hospital, Lieutenant Pague escaped
from his room. He went Immediately to
his home in a. distant part of the post
grounds and secured a revolver walked
out on the parade ground and fired the
shots at Colonel Crofton as told above.
The shots brought several officers to the
spot, and before he fired again he was
seized and disarmed. According to tile
officers who took him in custody he did
not seem to realize what he had done,
and a few moments after he did not
seem to remember that he had fired any
shots at all.
Lieutenant Pague is about 30 years Old
He graduated from West Point about
1870. and has seen active service iD the
west. He is considered an able officer.

Nothing Has Been Left UndOne in
the Way of Preparations.

the Way of Preparations.
NEW YORK. Oct. 3-Nothing remains
undone in the way of preparations for
the great YaIe-Cambridge dual athletic
meet of Saturday. which will take
place on Manhattan field. That it will
be a merobala meet is without question,
and that Yale will get revenge for her
defeat last year by Oxford in London
no one doubts. The visiting athletes
have experienced difficulty in getting
acclimated but they are enjoying
health good enough to render the
meeting highly interesting. Alexander
Jordan, who acted as a starter for the
New YOry-London games, has been in
vited to act in the same capacity on
Saturday Mr.. Jordan has accepted
the position and if he acquits him
self as we'll as he did two weeks ago
everyone will be satisfied. The track
and field are in fine shape
All the Yale men are in fine condi-
ton. thanks to Mike Murphy, Yale's
able trainer. Even with Sanford out
the Yale boys are confident of a glOr-
ious victory.
Many prominent persons VIII attend
the games, including Mayor Strong,
William c. Whitney. Chauncey II.
Depew, Cornelius Vanderbilt. John ia
cob AstOr. Sir Julian Pauncefote, and
probably the young Duke Of Marlbor-
ough. From the social point of view
the meet will eclipse anything of the
kind ever seen in this country.
Captain Riordan has decided upon
his first and second strings as follows
in the order of events as they will be
run:
The 1OO-yard run-Lewin and Wild
ing.
The 12O-yard hurdle race over cylin-
der-FIetcher and Pilkington.
High Jump-Johnson and Jennings.
The 300-yard run-Fitzherbert and

BOISE, Idaho. Oct. S.-Governor Nc
Connell today issued a proclamat ton
offering a reward OF 57.500 Tor the cap
ture of P. P. Lawson and the men who
liberated him from the HALEY Jail a
short time ago. Lawson was a, mem
Der Of the legislature three years ago
and shot and killed George Watson,
formerly of Denver, over a woman.
The murder was the most brutal and
cold blooded in the history of the state.
Lawson was convicted and sentenced
to hang. and was placed in the HALEY
jail for safe keeping; pending an ap-
peal to the supreme court. He was
there but a short time when three men
overpowered and threw the sheriff into
his cell.
Lawson and his Hberators made good
their escape.
The sheriff has been accused Of
Eaxity in the matter, and the governor
decided to issue the reward.
Mining Matters.
Suit was commenced today against
D. 3. Levan- asking for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the Judas gold
mine. If the petition is granted, this
will be the second mine of Levan's in
the hands of a receiver. The Judas is
considered one of the best mines in
this part of the state. 1t has a good
sized streak of ore that goes into the
thousands. Rock from the streak
crushed in a mortar yielded 81 a pound.
Cox Brothers ask for a receiver, claim
ing they were partners Of Levan, and
he is attempting to defraud them. No
attention was paid TO the mine by Cox
Brothers until news of it's wonderful
richness came out through the local
papers.
Board of PardOns.
The state board of pardons held an
important meeting yesterday. The
board decided to commute the sentence
of ]. c. Jennings to six months Jen-
nings was sent to the pen from Ada
county ia 1891 for eight years for the
killing Of Ross Hutchins. His term
under the Communication will expire

jected: B. Williams. Ada county. bur
glary; A. Summers. Bingham county.

county. assault; --arvey Comstock,
Bannock county. grand larceny. In
the case of Smith, the Logan county
stock rustler. who was parlcned on
condition that he leave the state, the
board decided unless ne left a. Cnce he
would be reincarcera+el in the pen.
Smith is now at Pocatalio.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-Governor
Caleb w. West has submitted his last
annual report to the secretary of the
interior
Before another report can be made,
the territory will become a state.
The report is devoted almost wholly
to statistics, showing the resources and
conditions of the territory. The popu-
lation is, according to the census of
1895, 1924; property valuation, SOY
942,151,
Referring to the prospective admis-
sion and enclosing a copy of the con-
stitution that has been framed, the
governor says that it is a source of
satisfaction that after much strife. be-
ginning in 1886, Utah is about to enter
the Union as a great and prosperous
state with a homogeneous, thriving.
contented, peaceful and happy people
The governor says that he expects
that the constitution will be adopted.
and that favorable action will be ia
ken by the president.
AS the people will choose their rep
resentatives and officers for the state,
he refrains from making any recon-
mendations as to legislation, saving
that such officials will be in position
to do what is best for the state.
