missing certain personages whom It

RESSEs, France, Aug. 10 The doc
tors consider NJ. Labori out OF dan.
ger. lie lies on his back, unable to
move, but life Is returning to the leg
which was thought to be paralyzcd.
He has no fever aud continues to dis
cuss the trial. His wife has remained
mt his bedside practically eve since
he was wounded. The doctors are
still unable to sound for tho bullet.
Not only were Laborl's pockets
robbed, but an attempt vas made TO
steal the wallet in which were impor-
ant papers referring to the court
martial. including his notes for the
REORGANIZATION Of General Mercier.
NJ. Labori has himself related the In
cident He had just fallen and Jaw
one OF two mon run to his side. One
of these said:
Ellis coat must be taken off; he
will be too hot"
The speaker then took the wounded
advocates coat off and another man
seized the wallet. NJ. Labori. how
ever. retained his presence Of mind
and refused to allow the wallet to be
taken out of his hands. putting IL
under his head for a pillow and hold
ing IL with one hand. The coat was
shortly afterwards put On again.
On arriving at his home Labori
asked his wife to look into his peck.
cts and see II their contents were
safe. Madame Labori found the pock-
cts emptied. Luckily, when the law.
yer was shot, no papers Of import
ance were In the pockets, which only
contained personal letters, including
menacing letters received on the pre-.
vious day. The rifipg of the law
yer's pockets OF the papers and the
attempt to steal his wallet, while no
effort was made to appropriate his
watch or money, are regarded as clear
evidence OF a plot in which several
men were implicated.
There have been several reports that
the assailant OF Labori was captured,
but all are unfounded. Detachments
Of troops and gendarmes are beating
the woods and securing the country.
Many saw the murderer fleeing, but
no was either too far distant from
them or else cowed them by threats
TO use his revolver. A gendarme
named Dclahaye got near enough to
the man to clutch him by the shout
der. but he shook himself free and,
turning to his pursuer, exclaimed:
'Begone, or l will kill you. l still
have Ave shots left In my revolver and
they will be for you" Delahsye was
unsrmed and permitted the man to
escape.
PARIS, Aug. 18.-The anarchist or

in retaliation for the outrage upon M.
Labori the anarchists will hold Gen.

GUAYMAs, Mexico, Aug. .l6.-Mili.
tary operations in the Yaqui valley
eliminated Friday in q series Of
engagements and the final rout
and dispersal Of the Indians. The
Yaquis In rebellion had concen-
trated their forces at vicam on
the south bank. General Torres
began offensive operations on
Thursday, After a sharp engage
ment, the Indians fed, leaving thirty
dead on the field. The Mexican loss
was ten killed and twenty-five wound
ed. General Torres returned to Grin
for the night and the next morning
he began the march to Vicam. The
troops d~islodged the Yaquis and killed
four. Five Of the Twelfth battalion
and one nan of the national guard
were wounded.
Following the enemy closely, Torres
found another force o. Indians in
trenched behind the BAN, Of the irri-
CATION canal, where the road crosses.
After half an hour Of fighting the
Yaquis were driven from this position
with q loss Of six killed. One Mexi-
can sergeant and three soldiers were
wounded.
The Yaquis are now scattered in
small parties, and it is improbable
that they will concentrate again. The
rest Of the campaign will probably
consist Of hunting out the renegades
from their hiding places.

ATTEMPTED "HOLD-UP."
Edward Ferger, OF the Bates House
Pharmacy, the Victim.

A colored highwayman pushed two re-
volvers in the face Of Edward Ferger of the
Bates House pharmacy, last evening and,
failing to make him stop, fired four shots
after Ferger's fleeing form. This happened
near the corner of Illinois and St. Clair
streets at o'clock, at a time when the
streets in that vicinity are seldom unfre-
quented, and the audacity of the 'hold-up"
astonshed the police. Two bicycle patrol
men, Schroeder and Houser, were dispatched
to The scene as soon as Ferger could tele-
phone in the particulars of his adventure,
but they found no trace of the cOlored man.
According to Ferger' account Of the affair
the highwayman stepped from a dark spot
just north of Johnstons drugstore at the
northeast corner of the intersection of St.
Clair and Illinois streets. He attempted to
stop Ferger, who pushed by him his way
down town, thinking the man only beggar.
He turned when addressed to find himself
covered by two revolvers and, without heed
lag the negros command to yield up his
pocketbook ran into Johnstons drugstore.
Before he reached the door the four shots
were fired. lie telephoned from the drugstore
for the police but did not venture to look
out to see in which direction his aSsailant
disappeared. None of the shots struck
Ferger and considering the close range at
which they were fired, it is believed that
they were fired in the air or were blank
cartridges
