COCKFIGHTERS ON THE RUN.
Mayor Bliss Holds Four of Them Under
a Heavy Bond.
THEY TOOK TO THE FIELDS
And the Constable and Marshal Were
Obliged to be Content with the
Capture of Only Four Names
of Others Taken by the
Officers.

Omcers.
FourCanton cockfghters know where
they are at today, ,and in that they have
the advantage Of about four hundred
more. 1t is not, however, an advantage
that they would not trade off for an
old hat or any old thing. The advant-
age lies In the fact that they have al
ready been arrested while the four
hundred are on the anxious seat, wond-
ering when the constable will loom
up over the eastern horizon.
The sports gathered on the Lutz
farm, about two miles east Of Osna-
burg, Decoration day, and had been in
session many hours when the authori-
ties arrived. The pittings began early
in the morning and the sport was fast
and furious at o'clock in the after
noon. A pair of birds were battling and
their handlers were in the pit when
the marshal of Osnaburg and con-
stable from that place arrived and en-
deavered to arrest the parties to the
crime of cockfghting. There was a
general scatterment. Sports took to
the fields and only few were left for
the constables to tackle. Four Can
ton men were arrested and taken to
Osnaburg, where they remained over
night. They were taken before Mayor
Bliss and were held under bond in the
sum OF 81 900, for the four. One of the
men furnished the bond. Mayor Bliss,
who is deputy county clerk, said this
morning that others would be arrested,
but he did not care to mention any
names.
LAW OF THE CASE.
Section 6952, of the Revised Statutes,
reads as follows, being the section un-
der which the arrests were made:
Whoever engages in or is employed
at cockfighting or re-
ceives money for the admission of any
person to any place kept for any such
purposes or uses, shall be
fined not more than $3.50 nor less than
$5, or imprisoned not more than thirty
nor less shan ten days. And any one
who knowingly purchases ticket Of
admission to any place mentioned In
this section or is present thereat, or
witnesses such spectacle, shall be
deemed an alder and abettor.

the insular commission appointed to in
vestigate Porto Rico affairs was made
public today. The people are loyal to
the United States. There Is much
wealth there, but also much poverty in
the rural districts. The report recon-

prove the island. The report
recommends the selling of franchises
to the highest bidders. recommends
that Spanish bank bills be redeemed
but the banks be no longer permitted
to issue that currency and the U. S.
money to supplant the Spanish. At
tempts are being made to establish

thirds of the delegates are instructed
for him. His friends claim that the
delegates for Colonel stone and Judge
Pratt cannot affect the vote for Taylor
by any combination between them
selves or even with candidates for the
minor places. Colonel Stone and Judge
Pratt are expected here tomorrow, and
their friends promise some surprises,
but the present indications are that
the Taylor men will organize the con-
vention and be able to carry through
what is known as the Taylor slate"
Taylor is called the national admins
tratfon man, while Governor Bradley
and other state administration men are
considered as favoring some other man.
If the results of the county conven-
lions are ratified the convention here
this week will be as brief as the re-
cent convention at Louisville was pro-
longed. Since both Stone and Pratt
were distanced in the race before the
county conventions there have been eff
forts to concentrate on Hon, John w.
Yerkes,. or some other dark horse, but
so far these movements have collapsed.

ALLIANCE DENOUNCED.
The Polish- Americans Have No Love for
England.

Enkianu.
Chicago, July !9.-The Polish residents of
Chicago, at a meeting here tonight de-
nounced an ANGLO american alliance. The
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we, Poish-American
citizens, can see no reason for an alliance
between this government, for which es-
Enlistment Kosciusco fought and Pulas-
Xxi died, and that of England. or any other
monarchial power; that neither the trad-
tions. the instincts nor the necessities of
the American nation call for such an al
lance, and that We. as Polish-American
citizens, protest against it and pledge our
selves to vote and work against any polit-
icai candidate or any party which may ad-
vocate it."
In opposition to the promoters of the
meeting and in favor of the Anglo-Ameri-
can alliance. John M. Sienlaiwicz made a
bitter speech, in which he pleaded with
those present to stand by America and
Poland first before protesting against al
lances with the English people, who have
always been in sympathy with Poland and
her. cause
He also said that though the Poles are
a liberty-loving people and will always
stand ready to help the Irish people, yet
he claimed that they must first stand by
Poland and her cause, which, in a way,
would be furthered by indorsing and IA
voring Americas alliance with England.
He urged that the reason for the alliance
was the near struggle of England with
Russia, in which event the Poles would
have chance for liberty, for England and
America Joined together would annihilate
Russian power The Irish people, he said,
would in that event side with Russia.
Poland's enemy, because Russia's victory
over England would mean freedom to
Ireland
The result of his speech was that when
the resolutions were offered opposing the
alliance of America with England those
present were about equally divided on the
vote.
AS result of to-night's work mass
meetings for and against the alliance
were organized all over the city among
the Poles and resolutions of protest and
of Endorsement will be sent to Washington
by the Poles. ~,

LAW FOR HALL AOAll.
The Big Turk Is Threatened With Liti-
cation.

CATION.
Chicago, July 81 NJ. Houseman Of
this city said to-day that he will on Mon
dap apply for an injunction before the
United States court to restrain the APP
pearance of Hall Adal, the Turkish
wrestler champion, under the manage
ment of parties other than himself. Mr..
Houseman claims to have a two-years'
contract with the Turk at a stated sal
airy. The restraining order, If issued, will
be directed against Butte parties, who
have offered Hall more money than he
is getting under his existing contract
An order of arrest for obtaining money
under false pretenses, Mr.. Houseman says,
will also be prayed for. Houseman al
leges that Hall asked for and received his
July salary in advance, accepting it after
having written letter declaring his in
tention to forthwith return to Turkey.
Butte. July Sit is known here that
Hall Adali has had a misunderstanding
with his present manager. l.. NJ. House
man of Chicago, but to what extent the
differences have grown or whether he has
a definite intention Of leaving Houseman' s
management could not be ascertained this
evening, as Ali Bark. the Turks travelling
companion, was reticent and would say
but little when seen tonight He admit
ted that Hall Adali is dissatisfied with
Houseman's treatment of him and that
he wrote Houseman some days ago stat
ing his grievances. Ali Bark, however,
professed ignorance of the contents of
the letter and said he did not know
whether or not Hall had informed House
man of an intention to leave Immediately
for Turkey. He said that as far as he
knew the Turk had no such intention.
When asked If the Turk had accepted a
better offer from local parties, Al Bark
said he had not, and added that lali
Adali expected to wrestle under House.
mans management at Anaconda Tues
day. 1t was admitted. however, that me
Turk has received offers from local par
ties. but who they are the Turks spokes-
man declined to state. 1t is known that
one offer was made by Joe Deyotte. but
Mr.. Deyotte stated tonight that he now
has no intention of undertaking the man
agement of the big wrestler
Ali Bark, when asked if 1t was true
that Hall Adal had received his salary
for July, said he was not aware of the
fact, but that he had no fear of his
countryman being subjected to arrest, as,
If such were the case, Hall Adalf would
ontinue under Housemans management,
at least during July .,rEs. ....
The chief trouble between Adali and
Houseman, it appears, is the character
of accommodations Houseman furnishes
the Turk. vt Is said that Houseman's
manager. Mark G. Lewis, requires the
Turk to travel second class while he trav-
els first class, and that he puts the Turk
up at cheap hotels while he stops at first
class hotels. Hall ,Adali objects to this
mainly, as his representative states. for
the reason that he is a big feeder and he
is unable to get the kind of food he likes
at cheap hotels. This. 1t was stated, is
the cause of the differences that have
arisen.

Superintendent.

Omaha, Neb, July "a Bee special
from Plankington, S. D., says: The
recent change in the management of
the state reform school here, whereby
T. II. Hopkins, populist, was put in
charge instead of a republican, was
made the occasion for a mutinous out
break on the part of the inmates. The
trouble occurred on Saturday and has
caused the management a good deal of
uneasiness. The boys were out on the
campus playing ball when the order
was given ITO fall in line and march
back to the building. The youngsters
refused pointblank and took to their
heels, the shouting of the superintend-
ent having no effect on them. The
guards were at once called and the
sheriff called and all joined in the pur-
suit. Twenty-seven boys got away
from the grounds and after long and
heated chase. extending into the night,
all We're caught and brought back ex-
cept two, a Norwegian and big In
dian, who are still at large. On their
way back the boys made slurring re-
marks about the new pop" superin-
tendent and averred that they had
planned to make the break for liberty
with the change of management. The
ringleader is a big fellow named John
Williams.

SHOT BY A MASKED THUG
Attempted to Rob Men. Stealing
Ride.
A BULLET IN HIS HEAD
Martin Failed to Obey the Injunction to
Throw Up His Hands and
Death Was the
Penalty.

Spokane. WASH. July s.-while stealing
ride In a box car on the Great Northern
Sunday morning, g. r. Martin, who says
he formerly kept restaurant at Chico,
Cal, was mortally wounded by a masked
thug. The purpose was robbery, for there
were Is or 20 other men in the car, and all
were relieved of their money.
The thug and his pal came into the car
with bunch Of oil-soaked cotton waste
and set 1t on fire for torch. Several Of
the sleepy men sat up and two or three
started to climb down to escape thinking
was Martin, who, as he sat up, found
himself looking into the face of q SS-cali-
Der Smith & Wesson revolver held by a
man whose face was concealed by blue
handkerchief
Throw up your hands or I'll blow your
d head off!' shouted the man in the
mask.
By the light of the torch Martin could
see the man few feet away from him on
his knees on top of one of the tobacco
casks. A companion named Deturk says
Martin replied contemporary:
Go ahead and shoot, you black -
YoI haven't sand enough to Shoot" and
Martins hands stayed down.
The words were not more than out of
his mouth when there was flash and the
other occupants of the car tumbed one
after another in a wild effort to escape.
Martin rolled off the top of the cask to the
floor several feet below. The bullet struck
the left side of the head, passed out at the
back of the head and lodged in the
car. Martin was brought to Spokane and
at times is conscious, but he is in dying
condition. The thugs escaped.
