SEVERE SUFFERING
Experienced Yesterday by the Fast
Bike Riders.

Experienced Yesterday by the Fast
Bike Riders.
NEW YORK, December 16.-The six
day bicycle racers were to-day suffer-
ing severely from the effects of their
hard riding. So severe has been the
test upon their systems, particularly
their nerves, that sleep was almost an
impossibility for some of them last
night after the conclusion of the race.
Most of them repaired to a Turkish
bath, where they remained until to-
day. In comparison with the six day
race of last year, the racers of the past
week came out of the trial easily.
Mcfarland is in much worse condi-
ton than the others owing to his fall
Saturday afternoon when he severely
injured his right knee. 1t was~giving
him considerable trouble to-day, and
he spent the most of the day in his
hotel.
Elkes' manager stated that his
man was in far the best condition of
the lot and that he had slept we'll ali
night until II o'clock this morning,
when he arose and partook of hearty
breakfast. He accounted for Elk,es'
condition by saying that Elkes had not
been given any drugs or stimulants of
any kind. Turville and Aronson, who
were taken to the hospital on account
of injuries received, are doing as we'll
as could be expected and will probably
be out in a few days.

day, when they were capsized by a
squall while sailing from the inland
to the mainland. Lucien Morden. of
Montague, Mich, was also an occupant
of the boat when it capsized and was
drowned before he could be dashed to
the overturned craft.
The two rescued men are badly frozen
and it is thought they may have to suffer
amputation of their lower limbs. They
were taken to the hospital, where the
following story of the terrible experience
was told by Mr.. Shields:
Upon receiving orders to close tho
light house for the season. We prepared
to leave the island together with our

Mrs. Shields and Mrs. Mary Davis, my
wife's niece. We left the island on FRI

between the government troops and
the insurgents at Tumaco, the rebel
stronghold, which began December 4th,
and lasted three days, the insurgents
then evacuating the town, say that the
Withdrawing insurgent forces were not

entertained at Colon that this body of
rebels will effect a junction with the
force operating around Buenaven-
tura.
Telegraph communication with the
interior has been suspended by govern
ment orders, and fighting is proceeding
at various points, although without i'm
portant results Both sides lost heav-
lily in the battle at Tumaco, when the
government forces destroyed the rebel

who was in command of the government
troops, left for Bogota after Che eYacua-

HORRIBLE WOUNDS
Inflicted Upon an Attendant by an
Insane Hospital Inmate
With an Old Penlknife He Scared
the Victims Face in a Terrible
Manner, end He VIII Bear the
Marks for Life.

OGDENSBURG, n. Y, Dec. ia
patient named Smith, at the St. Law
renee State hospital, who was not con-
sidered at all vicious yesterday, made
an assault with knife on an attend
ant named Cummings. Smith was in
his room at the hospital pacing the
floor and muttering 'Ill do it; I'll do
it. The Lord sent me here to punish
those that won't mind Him, and I'll do
it,
In the course of his duties attendant
Cummings passed through the CORR
dor, and saw Smith pacing the floor Of
his room and passed on.
Seeing Cummings pass and stop at
a closet for some desired articles,
Smith stole up behind him, and, jump
ing upon his back, drew his head back
wards and, with an old pocket knife,
stabbed him in the face. The blade
entered the left side of the nose and
swung toward the eye, laying the cheek
open. 1t was slanting blow, and the
point of the knife striking the bone,
snapped off the blade Still holding his
victim, the insane man again struck
the broken blade into the attendants
face and completely encircled his head,
laying open both cheeks, taking off the
lower part Of one ear, severing the
muscles and cords leading to the head
and laying bare the base Of the skull
The cash fortunately was too high
upon the head to reach the jugular
vein
In spite Of his injuries, Cummings
overpowered the patient and turned
him over to other attendants who came
to his assistance. Over a hundred
stitches were necessary to close Cum
mings' wounds. though very weak
from the loss Of blood he will re-
cover but will Hereafter have a badly
