A faithful dog, seeming to take in the situation, attempted to tackle both men, but they eluded him and made off. The inmates heard the noise and ran out, the two sons having guns, which they fired at the retreating forms without ap- parent effect.
 Deputy Sheriff Roebuck was called up and went out to the place with his dogs, but they failed to locate the would-b be aSSailantS of the young woman.

 Colorado Miners. SOURCES OF SUPPLY CUT Terrific Windstorms in Pennsylvania and Ohio. High Water Also-Rain in Torrents
 at Dubuque.

Denver, Col, July 27-As a sequence to the series of cloudDursts, there is a new and serious trouble confronting the people. It will take a month or even more for the railroads reaching several of the most important mining camps to make sufficient repairs to enable the run ming of trains. All of these camps de- pend on Denver for their daily supply of provisions, and the local merchants keep no reserve stocks. General depopu- lation of the towns and a suspension of mining operations until such time as the railroads are able to care for the re- quirements of the residents is not im- probable.

 Boston Evening Transcript
 MT. Luther Whiting Mason, the we'll known music teacher. died at Buckfield Me-, Tuesday, at the home of his son-in- law MT. Horace A. Irish. The illness that resulted in his death began with a severe cold contracted last December from which he did not fully recover. Last spring, while on visit to Boston, he fell from a street car striking on his head and receiving severe cOncussion and sev- eral bad bruises. Soon after this his wife died and the mental shock still further enfeebled him. Other complica- tions followed, and a journey to Boston a month ago hastened his end.
 MT. Mason was born in Turner, Me-, in 1928 He studied to become mission- ary, but being prevented from that, he turned his attention to music. His rela- tive. pr. Lowell Mason, took that part of his education in charge and his pupil more than justified his belief in his

Terrific windstorms in Pennylvania.

Pittsburg, July 27.-A cyclonic storm burst upon this city at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon and within few minutes had caused the death of two persons, the fa- tai injury of another and monetary loss of probably $100,000 throughout AL legheny county. Several churches in the hill districts were partially unroofed and one was struck by lightning. A number of smaller houses were also unroofed, the streets were flooded, sewers discharged their overflow into houses and some of the street cars were compelled to sus pend for periods ranging from half an hour to an hour and half. Hundreds of trees were uprooted and many lawns laid waste. Chimneys and windows were demolished in all directions.
 At Sugar Camp Grove, a picnic ground on the West Pennsylvania branch of the Pennsylvania railroad near ASpinwall, where the Eighth Ward Fishing and Hunting club of Allegheny were encamp- ed, limb of a sycamore tree fell upon the compulsory tents, in which a num- ber of the members of the club had taken refuge from the storm. John Figus of No. Il Pine street, Allegheny, was in- stantly killed; George Miller of 226 Main street, Allegheny, bad his back broken MT. O'Connell were badly hurt.
 In Pittsburg John Auflader, a teamster for the Williams Brick company, was struck by falling sign board, and died within five minutes.
 The storm seized the steeple of the Century Methodist Episcopal church. Kirkpatrick street and Wiley avenue, over 25 feet high, took the big bell along and dropped all into a neighbor- ing yard. A 100 foot stack at the brick yards of Booth 6 Finn was blown down. The temperature which has risen before the storm to 93 degrees, fell in few min utes Fl degrees. The fury of the tornado was spent in less than ten minutes. Dur ing the. eight hours ending at midnight 1.43 inches of rain fell
