the saloon keeper from Palmer
Lake, shot his stepdaughter, Min
ME Stimley, Siehl had been drink
ing TO excess and there had been
some trouble around the saloon
which enraged him. He procured
his revolver and shot several times
at the young wonlan. Two shots
took effect, one in each arm;
neither are liable to prove serious.
Sheriff Stott arrested him and he
will have his preliminary examina-

Siehl admits the shooting, but
claims he was out of his mind from
liquor, and that others had been
threatening his life until he was
terrified and thought he was acting

CALHAN GLEANINGS.

Mr.. Pavey, living nine miles
east of Calhan, had two valuable
work horses stolen on the night of
the LIST, and Joe Weinlich also had
good saddle stolen the same
night. Will Simpson and Hugh
Maben, two young men who have
been working in that neighbor-
hood for a short time, are strongly
suspected of the theft, as they dis
appeared the same night taking a
bride from Albert Olson for whom
Simpson had been working. An
effort is being made to capture the
thieves, but thus far without re-
suits.

GENERAL GARCIA.

reinforcements and cutting off the re-
treat of the Spanish soldiery. When
the city fell his duty there was at an
end. But II appears the attack on Man
zanillO was then planned, and 1t is
probable that Shafter detailed Garcia's
command to cut off reinfOrcements
there. Holguin lies near this city, and
was gaTrisoned by a considerable force,
as the American general must have
known. 1t is not unlikely that Garcia
and his men came into conflict with a
body of Spanish soldiery bound from
Holguin, and hat there Garcia met his
death"
Calixto Garcia was in his Goth year
and was regarded by the Cuban in
surgents as one of their most intrepid
soldiers. In the ten years war his skill,
bravery and energies won him con-
tinued promotion until he received a
generals star, In an action in 1874
Garcia was surrounded by Spanish
troops. Rather than surrender he shot
himself through the chin with suicidal
intent. He recovered, n was sent to
Spain. He was released in 1877, when
the peace of ZenjOn was declared.
Garcia at once set out for New York
and organized an expedition to Cuba.
He landed in Santiago de Cuba, but
was taken a prisoner a second time. He
eluded the vigilance of the prison
guards in Spain one night after a 10
years Imprisonment, and fled to Eng
land.
Garcia was the promoter of the Haw-
kins expedition, which left this city in
January, 1896, with 300 men and a large
quantity Of supplies and ammunition.
The vessel sunk. He next fitted out The
Bermuda, which was seized upon the
eve of her departure, in February, 1896,
by a United States marshal and his
deputies. Garcia was arrested and re-
leased in $500 bail. He at once made
another start and landed in Cuba sew
eral days before the day set for his
trial in this city. For the last two years
he had been engaged in conducting the
campaign of the Cubans against Spain
in the province of Santiago de Cuba.

SUICIDAL
ATTEMPTS.
A First Ward Pole Wanted to Kill
Himself
BUT The ROPE BROKE TWICE
The Second Time it Parted the would-be
Suicide Crashed Through the Floor
and Ceiling to the Apartment
Below-Is Now Missing

A Pole named Anthony Bunasawicz and
residing in Robbins row, near limerick
street, made two Unsuccessful attempts to
commit suicide at his boarding house this
morning and has since disappeared.
The method the man retorted to in the at
tempts to end his existence was by hanging,
but he displayed poor Judgment in selecting
the rope and its breaking saved his life. but
caused considerable damage to the building
This part added a rather humorous color to
the affair.
Bunasawicz selected an hour when the
second story Of the house was deserted and
made arrangements for the suicide in one Of
the bedrooms. lie tied one end of the rope
around his neck and then stood on a trunk
and tied the other end of the rope to a
rafter Of the roof. When he satifed himself
that everything was ready he jumped from
the trunk, but instead of swaying in the air
his body fell in a heap on the floor. The
rope had parted.
The man was evidently determined to die
and he again got upon the trunk and tied
together the ends of the parted rope and
then made another spring for eternity. The
would-be suicide received d double surprise,
as the rope not only parted a second time, but
Bunasawicz shot like a rocket through the
floor and ceiling to the first floor. There he
met with a warm reception. The boarding
mistress was at first shocked by the noise and
falling plaster and wood. accompanied by the
would-be suicides body with the
piece Of rope dangling from his
neck. The woman flew into a rage
when She recovered from the shock and
assailed Bunasawicz for wrecking the house.
The latter r~egained his feet and darted out
of the house like a wild man. He was last
seen running in the direction Of Locust
Mountain and the opinion is generally ex-
pressed that some day berry pickers will find
the mans body suspended from a limb of a
tree on the mountain.
The unfortunate man is believed to have
been rendered insane by a letter he received
from his wife, who is in the old country. 1t
is said that when Bunasawicz came to this
country a few weeks ago he transferred some
property he owned to his wife, so that her
hands would be free to sell the property
when he would send for her to join him
here. 1t is claimed that in the letter
referred to the wife stated that she had sold
the property and did not propose to rejoin
her husband.

General Shafter RetaIiateS and the Cubans
Will be Given no More Arms
or Ammunition.
WATSON WILL NOT GO TO SPAIN
Special to EvsNISG HERALD.


Washington, July 2I.-The re-
port that General Calixto Garcia
has been shot and killed is without
foundation. But the report that
he has withdrawn from the Ameri-
can lines is confirmed. He was
piqued because General Skater did
not turn over the government of
Santiago to the Cubans. The
Cuban General was so confident
that this would be done he had
selected one of his staff to serve as
Governor of the place.
General Garcia has written to
General Shatter, announcing his
intention of withdrawing his troops
from our army and fight the
Spaniards independently.
Upon recommendation of Cen
eral Shafter, and in view of the
stand General Garcia has taken,
the Cubans will be given no more
arms, or ammunition.
If any trouble is ~occassioned by
the Cubans the arms and ammuni-
ton now in their possession will
be taken from them.
