ONeil of Kalispell wrestled with Hall

The Turk stripped to 255 pounds, ac-

nearer the 300 mark, his prodigious cocoa
colored bulk making the form OF his an

two of them-ONeil and Tom Whalen-

of the men stood the crowd up in a row
the other coolly walked over to the faro,
crap and roulette games and appropriated
the money.
The smaller of the two men then said
to Davis, who runs the faro game:
Davis, empty out your pockets" :
Davis complied, but dropped his pocket
book on the floor in doing So upon which
the man stopped down and picked it up.
The cash register behind the bar was not
molested.
Both men then walked out of the door
by which they came in and made their
escape.
Neither man was recognized.

NEW CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
FIVE MORE NEW REGIMENTS.
To be Organized at once-President So
Orders-He Asks For Ofhcers-Rscom-

Root Gets in Rush.

New York, Aug ia special from
Washington says:
Orders are expected within few days
directing the organization OF five new vol
unteer regiments for the Philippines.
While final decision on the matter of
enlisting still more troops has not yet
been made, the fact that Secretary Root
is already considering the question OF Of
icers for the regiments, indicates the
strong probability that they will be or
gained. The secretary is extremely anN-
ious to get good o. GERS and as he can
not examine each individuals record, he
has decided to place the responsibility on
the governors of the states.
Political influence and personal or social
pull will cut no figure i'll the distribution
of the commissions in these new regiments
Secretary Root made that point anmistak-
ably clear to Senator Clay of Georgia.
when the latter called at the war depart
ment to urge the appointment of several
young Georgians, who are ambitious to
enter the army as commissioned officers
1--WE have heretofore had so much
trouble over civilian appointments" said
Secretary Root, that we propose to make
the new appointments without the aid OF
political or personal influence"
TO End the Insurrectlon.
Secretary Root is determined that the
fall campaign shall end the Instruction
and that General Otis may have no eX-
cuse for failure to bring it to close. He
purposes giving him as large an army as
conditions may show to be necessary.
The proposed new regiments may be
sent Immediately after the ten volunteer
regiments already enlisted should the ne
cessity for them be demonstrated. Should
it be apparent, when these commands have
been recruited, that Otis force is still
insu. .cient to control the situation, re-
cruiting will continue until all the volun-
teers authorized by congress have been
enlisted.
The recruiting for the ten new regiments
continues although they have their com
plement of men and the overflow may
serve as nucleus for the new regiments.
1t is the expectation of the department
that enough men for Is volunteer regi-
ments will be obtained by the middle OF
September.
