each lady is entitled to bring one guest.
This was thought to be the bes ar

SETTLED THE QUESTION
Judge Campbell has rendered his
opinion in the injunction suit this
morning, by which the real merits of
the controversy between the news
papers and the city trustees is disposed
of, and the opinion of the court up
holds the trustees, and settles the ques-
tion of the city printing for the present
year.
E. N. Buck of the Saturday Review
asked for an injunction restraining the
city trustees for letting the contract
for city printing to FL. @. Warner of
the Free Press. Two points had been
made in the affidavits which had been
filed. One WAS that the Free Press was
not a newspaper, and the other that
under the law, the paper must be es-
tablished six months before it is en-
titled to bid.
The second point WAS considered
strong one, bat it would not pass mus
ter with Judge Campbell.
On the question of the Free Press
being a newspaper, the court cited
numerous cases and his conclusion WAS
that the term newspaper" was so
broad that it must include even the
Free Press.
The Injunction was therefore dis
solved, and the much vexed question
is probably settled until next year.

Mrs. Rinehart Has Made Ten In
Ten Successive Days.
Great Record of a Woman Who
Began Riding I'm September.
RIDES FROM DENVER
Her Best 100 Miles Made In 10
Hours and 10 Minutes.
Wears Divided Skirts Riding a
~ Inch Gear.

Denver. July 13.-Ten centuries in ten
successive days-good big centuries, too,
aggregating ,O52 1-3 miles. This is the
latest performance of Mrs. A. Z. Rine-
hart, the sturdy and daring wheelwo-
man who lately made a fast century in
company with Mr.. w R. Marshall OF
the Denver Athletic club. and who
thinks no more of Keeling off a century
in 10, II or u hours than many women
think of riding out to City park and
return. Mrs. Rinehart- has ridden 80
centuries now and has done it so rap
idly that she has not yet been able to
get One-half of the engraved gold bars
that are to be suspended from her cen
fury badge as the official certihcat1onS
of what she has done.
Mrs. Rinehart says she rides CEN
turtles for the fun of it. She takes
hearty pleasure in wheeling and has
found the little jaunts about town and
to the suburban resorts quite too tame.
She has been riding a bicycle only since
last September, bnt she is a veteran al
ready Her wheel is a diamond frame,
72-inch gear. When she rides alone she
wears a short divided skirt of blue
wooden goods and sweater of blue and
yellow to match, with a little cap
pinned to her luXuriant coils of hair
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Rinehart
finished her tenth century. She has
ridden them upon no regular plan, but
with the main idea to make them as
varied as possible. She would ride
to Palmer lake and return one day;
the next go to Evans and back; again
she would ride out to LuptOn and return,
a total of "a miles, in a morning, get
lunch in Denver and ride fifty miles
again in the afternoon. Every cen
fury has been a large and generous one.
MrsS Rinehart'S best time was 10 hours
and 10 minutes; in this series, though,
she has made a century in sos. Her
time Saturday was 10 hours Is minutes.
All her centuries have been made with
VII n7-rrr0 i'm = h 4
limit Mrs. Rinehart says she can loaf
and make a century run in "A hours.

Sometime This Month.

London, July 13.-Advices have been
received from Tromsoe, Norway, that
Arnold Pixies steamer, Victoria, has ar
rived there after visiting the Swedish
aeronaut, Herr Andre at Danesvandt.
The erection of a balloon house had be-
gun and Herr Andre expected to be
ready to start on his aerial voyage to-
wards the north pole early in July.
Before starting, however, it was the
intention of the aerOnaut to test his
balloon thoroughly by sending it up

the steamer Vigro, which vessel con-
Veyed Herr Andre and his companions
and their output to Spitzbergen.

WHO ARTHUR SEWELL rs.
One of the Largest Owners of Mer-
chant Ships in the Country

Bath. Ne, July 11.-SteadiIy for over
20 years has the Sewell private signal,
a white IS" on a blue ground, f1uttered
from the main spar from some of the
staunchest, finest, swiftest vessels in
the merchant marine, carrying the
stars and stripes into every foreign
port.
From the days of the first chubby lit
tie Diana" built in 1923 to the great
steel "'Diriga" launched in 1894, this
house has led the country in designs
for merchant vessels. Beginning I'M
der William D. Sewen in 1923, the
house has been continuous and today
owns the largest sailing merchantmen
afioat under our flag.
J. D. Sewell was succeeded by his
sons, under the name of E. and E. A
Sewell, which firm has become Arthur
Sewel and Company, with Arthur
Sewen, Maine member of the national
Democratic committee and Democratic
nominee for president of the United
States at It's head, and his nephew,
Samuel S. Sewel1 and his son William
D. SeweH, associated with him.
The Sewells are of an old and illus
trious family on both sides of the
water The first American SewelI came
here in 1884, and Dummies Sewen, the
grand father of the first ship builder,
came to Bath from York, which was
also in the district of Maine, in 1852,
when he purchased the tract of land
on which today stands the Sewell yard
and houses of the Sewen family. In
the II years that the SewelIs have been
building ships they have owned So
ships.
Arthur Seweu, the present head of
the firm, is about so years of age. He
grew up among the scenes of the ship
yard and seashOre, acquiring a famil-
iarity with business life, which has
served him well, not only in that par
ticular branch, but in many other lines
of commercial life.
There is hardly a corporation in Sag
idahOe county of which he is not a di-
rector. He is prominent in railroad cir
cles as we'll as in politics, having been
president of the Maine Central and 9TH
ell important roads, and now being a di-
rector in many. He is a bank presi-
dent and one of the principal business
men of this city. A striking fact in ac-
cOrdance with Mr.. SewelPs nomination
is that his son Harold is a Republican,
having changed from the Democracy as
a result of what he considered the par
tvs failure in administration. Young
Sewen was one of the leaders of the
Reed delegation at st. Louis and is
one of the leaders of the young Repub-
hcan movement in Maine.

A NUDE WILD MAN.
Travels the Woods Near Pittsburg
With a Big Club in His Hand.

Pittsburg, July 13.-In the vicinity
of what is known as the Chris Beck
coal bank. about a mile and a half from
the city, a wild, or rather a half-witted
man has been seen.
Lately some boys who were out in
the timber along the banks Of Cow
creek roaming around yesterday after
noon saw the fellow. They were near
the bank of the creek when he passed
by them a short distance away. To say
they We're frightened would put it mild
~. One of them became so badly rat
tied that he fell into the creek.
Others have seen him, among whom
We're some women who were out berry
picking a day or two ago. He is des-
cribed as an average sized man with a
low flowing black beard and long hair.
He wears a broad brimmed hat of eth
er straw or soft felt, and wears no
clothes. but carries a bundle of some
sort under one arm, while in the other
hand he carries a big club. Every time
he has been seen he walks with his
head hanging down and does not notice
or modest anyone.

FELL FROM HIS BERTH.
Ex-Register of St LOUIS Dies on a
Train-Wom Take His Money.

Washington, July 13-Harry J. Po-
cock, ex-city register of st. Louis, died
suddenly on a Baltimore & Ohio train
near Parkersburg, W. Va, Saturday
night His death is surrounded by
circumstances both suspicious and SEN
sationaI
Deputy Commissioner of Pensions
Bell was a passenger in the same car
with POcOck. At IL o'clock Mr.. Bell
heard an agOnizing shrek from the
upper berth of No. 6, the berth of his
evening companion The shrek was
followed with a grOan and shriu ex-
PLANTATION, I'm dying, help! let me
Quit" Mr.. Bell sprang into the aisle
and had scarcely got upon his feet
when POcock in agony tumbled from
his bed, striking his head against the
floor. All the passengers were sound
asleep except Mr.. Bell and two women
in the lower part of No. s.
The fallen man gasped, stiffened his
limbs opened his eyes wide, his muscles
relaxed and he was dead.
The conductor telegraphed forward to
Parkersburg for the coroner and under
taker to meet the train, then went to
Mr.. Pocock's berth to arrange his eff
fects AS they stopped at the berth
they heard one of the two women say,
little above a whisper: It's 500; stick
it in your stocking"
Mr. Bell looked in and there they
were going through the dead mans
pockets at lightning speed. One was
apparently thirty years old and the
other about twenty. Mr.. Bell asked
what they were doing. The elder
woman replied that she was THE
mans wife" not speaking Mr.. POcock's
name Mr.. Pocock had told Mr.. Bell
that he was unmarried.
Mr.. Bell and the conductor induced
the women to surrender $3.50 secreted in
the stocking of the elder and S58 in a
pocket of the younger. The women
finally confessed that they were not
relatives to Mr.. POcOck, so when the
train pulled up to the ParkerSburg de-
pot the women were handed over to
be detained as witnesses.

BROOM CORN CROP.
The Acreage Only a Third as Large as
Last Year

place the amount of old broom corn
brush on hand in this district at Is to
20 cars. This is contrary to all predic-
tons last fall when it was learned how
large the crop was. There have been
nearly AIS cars shipped from this dis
trict, the largest export ever made in
the history of the district, at the low
est prices ever offered.
H. K. Lindsey, of the firm of Find
lay & Co, thinks there is not over a
third of the acreage out this year that
there was last. He said the grasshop-
pers have done considera Bile damage to
the crop in Stafford county. South of
the river some farmers had to plant
three times before they got a good
stand.
