Masked Robber Killed.

Tacoma, Wash, May 24.-A single
robber late this afternoon held up and
attempted to rob an incoming car on
the Steilacoom electric line. About AZ
miles out of the city a tall man, rough
ly dressed, hailed the car, which stop
ped, and he boarded it. AS he got on
the platform he pulled blue dotted
calico mask, having holes cut through
for eyes, down over his face, produced
a revolver and ordered Superintendent
Dame, of the motor line, and Motorman
Wellman to the rear end of the car.
They complied slowly, and he fol-
lowed, ordering the men and the pas
sengers to hold up their hands and the
ladies to sit still. Dame and Wellman
had entered rear compartment used
for carrying baggage and freight. The
robber evidently thought them safely
disposed of, for he paid no more at
tention to them, but commenced reliev-
ing George B. Evans, contractor, of
his valuables. This done, he COM
manded William E. Hacker. broker,
to stand up and be searched. In the
meantime, Superintendent Dame had
taken out his revolver and came in be-
hind Hacker, where he awaited an op-
portunity to shoot. A moment later
he placed his arm on Hackers shoulder
and fired into the robber, who returned
the fire. Dame fired two shots and
the robber three. Two minutes later
the robber was lying beside the car,
dead, while Dame had been shot in the
arm and Jewett Smith, passenger,

FOUR GHOULS IN JAIL.
The Ladd Grave Conspiracy Laid Bare
and the Body Found.

Portland, Or, May 24.-The body
of William S. Ladd, which was taken
from it's resting place in Riverview
cemetery Monday night, was recovered
yesterday by Chief Burns, of Oregon
City, and Detectives Welsh and Sim
mons, of Portland. D. Magone,
Charles Montgomery, Ed Long and
William Rictor, all of Oregon City, are
lodged in the city Jail, charged with
the crime of its removal. Montgomery
has made confession, duplicating Ma
gone and the other men.
The body was buried at Magone's
Park, a well-known landmark on the
Willamette river, a mile and half
below Oregon City. Its hiding place
was cleverly concealed by moss and
leaves, and it would never have been
discovered had not Montgomery weak
ened and led the officers to it.
The remains of Mr.. Ladd were hid
den in the ground about 30 yards from
the river. The spot was wild and for
bidding, so that there was but little
chance of any one ever happening
acorss it. A grave about three feet
deep had been excavated, into which
the body, wrapped in burlap, had been
placed and covered over. No effort had
been made to provide coffin or other
like protection, and the covering of
dirt was very thin to keep from detec-
tion the body beneath. When seen,
the body was in remarkable state of
preservation, considering the time it
had been inferred.

HAS WORLDS RECORD.
Great Performance of Lucretia BorGia
at Oakland Track.

San Francisco, May 24.-Lucretia
Borgia, brown tilly, years old, by
imp. Brutus, out of Ledette, bred and
owned by William Boots & Son, of San
Jose, now holds the worlds record for
four miles. After Lucretia Borgia's
splendid showing, with a poor rider
up, in the Ingleside stakes at four
miles, three weeks ago, the owner de-
termined to send his horse for the rec
ord, believing that with a good rider
she could lower the coast, and perhaps
the worlds record. The result of to-
days trial exceeded his expectations.
Splendidly ridden by Jockey Claw
son, clever lightweight pilot, and
paced by Peter IL over the third mile,
and by Installator over the fourth,
both OF the latter horses owned by the
Boots, Lucretia Borgia covered the
distance in the wonderful time of I'll,
and that, too, in the face of strong
wind blowing down the back stretch.
The record for four miles against
time has stood at 7:l594 for 21 years,
having been made by Tenbroeck, the
celebrated distance horse, September
27, 1876, at Louisville. The competi-
tion record for the same distance has
stood for 23 years at 7:l91a, made by
fellowcratt, at Saratoga, on August 20,
1874

Greeks Ignored Flag of Truce.

Berlin, May PA telegram re.
ceived from Constantinople this after.
noon says the effort OF the Turkish
commander in Epirus to treat with the
Greeks for an armistice resulted in a
failure, owing to the Greeks having
ignored the flag of truce and having at.
tempted yesterday, with two battalions
of troops to make fresh incursion into
Turkish territory. The Greeks, it is
further stated, also shelled the Turkish
position.
In conclusion, the Constantinople
dispatch says the Turkish government
disclaims all responsibility for what
may follow.

Athens, May 24.-M. Ralli, the pre-
mier, in the course of an interview to-
day, said:
"The indemnity which Greece will
pay to Turkey will be in proportion to
the resources of Greece and her finan-
cial position. The cession of territory
is out of the question. Greece cannot
accept modification of the strategic
frontier which would render easy raid
ing of Greek territory by armed bands,
and which would compel Greece to
maintain numerous army in order to
prevent incursions."

Insurance, was arraigned in the police

The charge was based upon the re-

woman was typhoid fever as the cause.
The cursory proceedings, as adopted by

company, but has positively denied that
he was in any way responsible for the
deaths of his four wives and the other
persons whose insurance he obtained.
Zanoli was held without bail, on the

ined on Saturday night. Throughout
