MIN 10 Live In Exile

FALL RIVER, April 24.-Tbomas 8. Bor-
den, agent and treasurer Of the Metacomet
and Anawan mills, has fed from the
city. He is short In his accounts to the
sxtent Of s6ol3 and warrants for his ar
Fost have been issued. He Is son OF
Philip ID. Borden, agent and treasurer OF
the American linen mills, and has been
in charge OF the mills named for number
OF years.
The news Of the shortage became known
20 the directors Monday morning and at
noon they placed tho matter In the hands
Of Lawyer Wood Complaints were drawn
nm. but when they were made resdy for
&fyics at 4 O'clock, Borden had skipped

went to Boston

and he has since been paying it off. 1t is
said that he had cleared up the old debt
and the new one amounting to the sum
stated is an additional loan taken from
the mills funds.
; 1t is reported that Borden himself made
the shortage known at the directors
was determined upon some hours before
that time. The loss was made good to
stockholders by note said to have been
drawn by his father and other friends.
Since his first trouble he has been
watched very closely. His salary has
never been very large, as the mills are old
and employ only about 400 hands, the
weekly payroll being less than $1,000.
1t is believed the affair will not extend
beyond the city
In Its Financial Effects.
The mills are owned almost wholly by the
Braytop interests and the banking was
carried on In local Institutions.
Borden was o bachelor, and short time
ago his engagement to q Maine lady was
announced. 1t is said among his inti-
mates that he was we'll known to many
women, but he lived modestly here and
was not considered an extravagant fellow.
A very prevalent opinion is that he will
be allowed to remain in exile from the
city with three others. who. like him,
stand charged with tampering with Fall
River mill books.

PEGS ran screaming into the street,
covered with blood. She pre- ented
teri bic appearance, and a crowd of
excited people quickly gathered.
Rocker made an attempt to escape
and stepped to the front door with the
bloody razor in his hand. Seeing that
it would be impossible to do so on
account of the crowd of excited men
who had gathered about the door. he
made some remark about killing the
first man who attcmptcdNto lay hands
on him and then cut his own throat.
The act was witnessed by a number
Of people. The blood spurted from
! the wound and the man after stagger-
ing around for a few minutes, fell.
The crowd started after him bat he
arose and held them bay with The
razor. He then left the houee and u

reached he jumped on street car
where he was captured by Patr l.u

coRBETT NOT TRAINING.

Does Not Think the Fight VIII Come on
and Is Running Down at the Heel
New YORK. Sept 1O.-A morning pa
per prints a report that Champion Cor
bets friends 10 not believe the fight
with Fitzsilnmons will come off, and
that consequently he is not training.
An interview is given with Parson
Davies, who says: 81 saw Corbett
about week ago and did not like his
looks He did not appear to have the
life and energy which he formerly
pOss essed, and his eyes were dull and
listless. l attributed this to the fact
that ne had been knocking about the
country a great deal, playing ball, at
tending theatrical performances, keep
ing late hours and other designations.
Corbett is d wonderful man, though.
and Il great fighter If he trains and
enters the ring in fit condition there
is no doubt but he will whip F'itz-
simmons Bob, however, is IN great
condition right at this time, and will
put up an awful fight If Jim is not
right up to the mark he may suffer
defeat. ! don't attach much impOr-
lance to what [ hear of the condition
of the two men, for l don't believe
they viii meet, at least not in Texas.
When governor of a state announces
he will stop a prize fight he usually
mean what he SAYS, and in this in
stance I think Governor Culberson
is ia earnest.
