COOKING MAIN
In Which Canton Men Made Fine
Winnings and Brought
Money Home.

East Liverpool Crisis: A cooking main
OF large dimensions was held on Line
island Wednesday. The fights contin-
ued all day. and 1t is said that the
sports from this city came out losers.
Between 300 and 400 sports from Wheel
ing, Pittsburg, Beaver Falls, Rochester,
Canton and other towns were in at
tendance with their birds. 1t is estima-
ted that In the 70 odd fights that took
place $4,000 changed hands. Wallace, Of
Canton, Is reported to have come out
away ahead Of the game, as did also a
Pittsburg man. This city and Wheel
ing and the other bird fanciers were
out. The fighting was not up to the
standard. 1t is claimed this was due
to the fact that the birds are not feath-
cred well this year. The parties in this
city who have a large number of fight
ing stock claim their birds were "dop-
ed a few nights ago. For this reason
East Liverpool did not have her full
quota of birds out. The money was lost
for the most part on outside fights.

Eclipse Had Bad Effect.

A Merietta. Ga, correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: Observations of
the solar eclipse at Marietta were in
terrupted by the sensational suicide Of
G. M. Crosby, a druggist.
He looked at the eclipse with his
wife and family for an hour. Immedi-
ately after the period Of totality had
ended he walked from his house to his
store. Taking a pistol from the desk
he placed 1t against his head. pulled the
trigger and sent bullet into his brain.
Whether the eclipse had any effect on
the mind OF the druggist Is unknown,
but his friends think It had.

from Kheis was received yesterday. 1t
seems that Colonel Adje surprised the
Beers at Kheis by wide turning move
ment and crossed the lower Orange
river despite strenuous opposition.
Many casualties were inflicted on the
rebels and twenty of them were cap
tured, besides arms, ammunition and
fiocks. The British loss was seven kill
ed and eighteen wounded.
MORE DETAILS.
Capetown, June 2.-Further details
concerning the ambush of the British
police troops in Griqualand West, show
that General Warren, with 700 men, was
surrounded by 1000 rebels. 1t occur
red on Tuesday at Fober Spruit. The
rebels were finally repulsed, leaving a
number Of dead on the field. The Brit
ish loss, according to the latest reports,
was fifteen killed and thirty wounded.
VELDT CAUGHT FIRE.
Winburg, May 30.-CDelayed TO-
day the Beers under white flag re-
quested medical attendance for COM
mandant De Villiers, who was seriously
hurt in yesterdays engagement. Gen.
Rumble acquiesced, but ordered the
wounded Beers removed to the British
hospital, promising to allow them to
return when recovered. The5Boers ad-
mitted that the British artillery in
flicted so casualties. During the action
the veldt caught fire and the khaki of
the British formed distinct target
against the black ashes. Many brave
rescues of wounded from the burning
grass were made. Rumble moves for
ward Immediately.
ALMOST BAGGED.
London, June 2.-The following dis
patch from Winburg, under date of May
81, clears up a good deal that was mys-
terious about Rundles costly operations
in the eastern Free State and shows
that at the eleventh hour of the war
the Beers came near making another
bag of British troops. The dispatch
reads:
"Rundle's operations about Lindley
were due to a message received from
Colonel Sprague on May 29, saying that
500 troops of the Duke of Cambridges
own" were surrounded and required
succor"
A dispatch from Winburg, received
yesterday, said that Rundle's opera
tions had relieved Sprague, but the
reference was not understood. The dis
patch explaining the situation adds that
all of the remaining Free State COM
mandoes are believed to be facing
Rundle.
THE CASUALTIES.
London. June 2-The war office an
nounces that Rundle's casualties at
Senekal, Tuesday, were fourteen killed,
1923 wounded and II missing.

at the court house Saturday at 1 o'clock
and took action concerning the death
of their co-laborer Attorney Strong, Of
Alliance. Resolutions were adopted
after which the bar left for the depot
to take the train for Alliance to attend
the funeral. The resolutions call atten-
tion to the many good qualities of the
deceased. His excellent work for the
city OF Alliance as city solicitor was
commended and his jealous work for his
clients was considered something that
might well be emulated by the profess
sion generally. The committee on res
olutions was composed Of c. c. Bow,
John w. Craine and Atlee Pomerene.

Evan Wallace Is back again in a cell
in the county Jail after thirty hours Of
freedom Frank Moore stole horse and
got out of the county; John Flynn is
still unaccounted for.
From the developments of Friday
night it appears that the prisoners who
escaped from the Jail Thursday night
spent the day Friday in hiding in this
city. No trace of them was found until
this time Deputy Sheriff Harvey Zaiser
and Constable Henry were down on
Collins street in the neighborhood of
the residence of Wallace's father at 20S
Collins. Zaiser went in the back Of the
Wallace lot and Henry remained in
front Of the house. While standing
there in the darkness Zaiser noticed
man come out of the back door of the
Wallace place and start around the
block. 1t was too dark to recognize
him so the officer stood still. Very soon
the chap came back and came up
through the rear end of the lot along the
fence. When he got part way up to
the house he struck across the lot and
went into an outbuilding used as a
closet.
The deputy sheriff still watched.
Henry came around and they talked
over the case at the back door of the
Wallace house. Mrs. Wallace, wife Of
the fugitive, came out and they asked
her If she knew anything about her hus-
band. She said she did not, that she
had not seen him and did not know of
the escape until noon Friday. AS the
fellow inside of the little building made
NO progress toward getting out zaiser
walked down. He tried to push the
door open but it would not go. Then
he asked who was inside.
Pete Smith," came the answer.
Where are you from?" asked the
officer.
Cleveland" responded the chap in
side.
well, Pete Smith from Cleveland,
come out" commanded the deputy. The
fellow said he would not do it. Zaiser
pushed the door in a few inches and
struck match. The fellow knocked 1t
from his hand but in the momentary
glare he saw that the fellow inside was
Wallace. He grabbed him by the wrist |
and gave him yank that landed the |
fugitive out in the open. Mrs. Wallace

had come down by this time and she
saw the whole proceeding.
Don't be so rough" she said to the
deputy.
why, do you know him?" asked
Zaiser.
mo, don't know him" said the wifi.
They stood there talking, the prisoner
was searched and some letters found
from his wife, and the woman still pro-
tested that she did not know the chap.
They walked UP toward Brown avenue
and the deputy sheriff went back to see
who else was in the kitchen, leaving the
prisoner with Constable Henry. When
he returned the wife and prisoner had
wilted and were locked in each Others
arms.
Wallace was taken to the Jail and
locked IN
STOLE A HORSE.
In the meantime word had come from
Waco that Frank Moore had been along
that way. About o'clock a fellow an
swering his description in every detail
got into the pasture field of farmer
named Brownwell who lives Just this
side Of John w. Gibbs on the Waco
road, and had stolen one of his horses.
The chap mounted the beast and start
ed down the road toward Waynesburg.
A neighbor Of Brownwell met him and
recognized the horse. He at once noti-
fled Brownwell, who was at the time
peacefully soaking his feet in a bucket
OF water, and Brownwell got his other
horse and started in pursuit. At Waco
he telephoned to the officers at Waynes-
burg telling the marshal of the theft
and asking him to stop the thief. Then
he went on after the fugitive. He met
man In buggy and tried to stop him
to inquire but the fellow thought he
was highwayman and whipped his
horse toward town. Brownwell gave
chase and finally made the fellow un-
derstand that he only wanted to know
whether he had seen the thief. He had.
Further on down the road another
man had seen the horse and rider.
Brownwell came back and came to Can
ton when the marshal at Waynesburg
was again telephoned to. This time he
said that the man had just gone through
town on the horse taking a course to-
ward Magnolia. He gave no reason for
not arresting the chap.
Nothing has been heard of Flynn.

"INFERNAL MACHINE"
That Almost Caused Secretary
Dick to Throw a
Fit.

(Wash. Spl. Philadelphia N. American.)
A mechanical gavel found it's way in
to the rooms of the national Republic
can committee today, and while being
handled by Secretary Dick exploded"
almost frightening that gentleman out
of the belief that Mckinley would be
the nominee.
The gavel Is most ingenious affair
1t was fitted with cap at one end of
the knob, which was intended to ex-
plode when brought into violent col
lision with solid. Then simultaneous
ly the upper part of the knob opens like
"jack-in-thebox," and out flies a tiny
American flag, inscribed Mckinley"
The little internal machine" was
received from New York, Saturday, and
was not unpacked until today. 1t was
handed to Secretary Dick by one OF the
attaches of the quarters, and the former
While carrying on an animated con-
versation with caller, happened to
bring the capped end down on the
desk in front Of him. There was a
sharp report as a little silken American
banner shot into view.
For the moment Mr.. Dick thought
that he had been made the victim Of an
Anarchistic demonstration, but it de-
veloped that the gavel was not only
harmless, but was a splendid piece of
mechanism.
A note was afterward found in the
package in which the gavel had come,
explaining the manner in which 1t
should be handled TO produce the
effect described, and requesting that 1t
be used during the sitting of the
national convention. Unless another

The Democratic platform adopted In
Ohio this year should reaffirm the ma
tional platform of 1896 and favor the
rem ,mination of William J. Bryan for
president. 1t should unalterably oppose
trusts and monopolies created for the
purpose of arbitrarily controlling pro-
duction and prices of materials, man
ufaotured products and the wages Of
employees. 1t should reassert the prin-
ciples Of the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence and should clearly indicate that
the constitution and the flag must under
all circumstances stand together as en-
blems Of our freedom and independence,
for liberty and equal rights to all and
special privileges to none. 1t should ex-
press sympathy for the Beers, whose
struggle for freedom and independence
is the same that our fathers made
against Great Britain over a century
ago. JOHN c. WELTY.
