Two Dead and Three Wounded In At.
tempt to Arrest Woman.
Gilman, Ills, Aug. 2S.-Two men
killed, three wounded-two of them
perhaps fatally-one woman wounded
and her residence burned are the re-
suits of an all night battle between
a mob and Mrs. Dr. G. w. Wright, who
was accused of the murder of bessie
Salter, the 16-year-old daughter of a
citizen of Gilman.
John Myers, laborer employed by
Mrs. Wright, and Michael Ryan, a
deputy, are dead Lawrence Ryan.
George Willoughby and Peter Hover,
citizens. and Mrs. DR.. Wright are
wounded.
The inquest over the body of bessie
Salter was completed last evening.
The jury held Mrs. Wright to the
grand jury without bail. The removal
of Mrs. Wright to the Watseka Jail
seems to have stopped all mob talk
and the law will probably be allowed
to take it's course. The condition of
Peter Wifioughby and Hover, the two
wounded deputies, is very discourag-
ing and the coroner will probably have
two more inQuests to look after short
ly. ItSwas reported at first that three
of Mrs. Wright's girl patients had
perished in the fire, but this is thought
to have been mistake.

Planned to Attack Manila.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The war de-
partment has made public letters
found among the papers of General
Ricart, recently arrested by the police
near Manila. Among them is an un-
signed letter in regard to an attack on
Manila in January, 1900. 1t states
that the reason for not carrying out
the proposed attack was because of
the small number of resolute persons
stationed at the gates, and because
General Otis had gone aboard ship
in Manila bay. Another attack was
planned, but not carried out because
the enemy" made Il careful search of
the city as result of disturbances the
previous day. The letter advises an
other attack

WALcoT7 LAYS DOWN.
Looks Like winaer Over West, but De-
liberately Quits In Eleventh Round.


New York. Aug. 2S.-The fight be-
tween Tommy West and Joe Waicott,
which was the main attraction at the
Twentieth Century club, in Madison
Square Garden, ended in most pc
culiar manner last night. The bout
had gone IL rounds, very much in Wal
colts favor, as he had punished West
very badly about the body and had
him in a very weakened condition.
When the bell rang for the 18th round,
to the surprise of everybody, Walcott
refused to go on, claiming that he had
injured his left arm. Referee Charley
White, suspecting crookedness, in
sisted on Walcott's continuing, but the
negro refused to do so. This left
White no alternative other than to de-
clare West the winner. There was
quite a large sum of money wagered,
with West the favorite, and the ref
cree was outspoken with reference to
Walcott's peculiar action. White said:
"Walcott was not injured, he quit de-
liberately, and it is my candid, con-
firmed opinion that he was actuated
in quitting by some dishonest motive.
I believe Walcott was encouraged to
act as he did by some person closely
connected with him. That he should
act thus is no surprise to me, as he es-
tablished precedent for similar work
in San Francisco not so very long
ago.

Match With Jeffries.
New York. Aug. 2S.-Robert Fitz-
simmons last night announced his re-
tirement from the pugilistic ring. He
made an Intellectual attempt to get on
a match for the heavyweight cham
pionship with James J. Jeffries, to take
place before the Horton law expires
at midnight next Friday, and then is
sued the following statement:
II am through with fighting. 1 will
retire from the ring and will not
claim the championship from Jeffries.
I am ready and on edge to meet him
next Friday night, as his manager sug-
gested ten days ago, but as he claims
he is in no condition to fight on that
night, am through with him and the
ring. Henceforth there will be one
man less in the heavyweight division,
for Twill so out with the Horton law.

Coroner,s jury Causes Comment.

Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug. %. "A most re-
markable verdict was returned here
yesterday by coroner's jury. The
sudden and suspicious death of a la
boring man, named John G. Anquist.
caused the coroner. Dr. II. Rose, to
hold an inquest over the remains The
jury returned verdict that the man
had died from blood poisoning caused
by a scratch on his foot, received five
years ago. The claim was that the
blood poisoning was chronic. The ver-
dict and it's acceptance by the coroner
is the subject of much comment here
among physicians and others.

STEVENSON is NAMED.
Populist National Committee Accepts
Towne's Declination-

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-At meeting of
the Peoples Party national committee
yesterday the declination of Charles A.
Towne as the vice presidential nomi-
nee of the party was accepted and
the name of Adlai e. Stevenson was
put in his place. This result was OBJ
tanned after a long debate, beginning
at 2 p. m. and ending about 6:3e p. m.
In the beginning there were three
courses advocated by different mem
bers of the committee:
To nominate a Populist, to leave the
place blank. or, lastly, to endorse Mr.
Stevenson.
Senator Marion Butler, chairman Of
the committee. in warm speech of
some length, advocated leaving the
place blank, contending that Bryan
and Stevenson would receive more
Populist votes than if a candidate for
vice president was named. But one
test vote was taken. A motion was
made to endorse Mr.. Stevenson. For
this motion Mr.. Washburn of Massa-
chusetts moved, as Il substitute, that
a Populist be placed upon the ticket.
The substitute was lost on call of
the roll by vote of "a yeas to II nays.
The original motion was then adopted
by viva voce vote. There were 124
members of the committee present or
represented by proxy.

WORD FROM coNGER.
Latest Dispatches Told of Satisfactory
State of AHairs In PulSing.

L
Washington, Aug. 2S.-After sew
eral days intermission iny Chinese adj
vices the government yesterday re-
ceived two dispatches. which presum-
ably bring it's advicas UP to the most
recent date There are indications
that the principal delays in the lines
of communication are encountered be-
tween Tien Tsin and Peking, fact
explainable by the newspaper adyices
that small bands Of Boxers are oper-
ating on the line of communication of
the Pcking campaign forces. The
fact that more than a week was cov-
cred by the last interruption gives rise
to the belief here that these attacks
upon the lines Of communication by
Boxers are more Formidable than was
supposed to be possible after the heavy
losses inflicted upon them by the in
ternational force in its advance.
The important dispatch of the day
was one from Minister Conger, rela-
tive to the military situation in Pc
king. Unfortunately it lacked date,
but as it was certainly later than any
official emanation from the Chinese
capital the message was allowed pub
licity for what it was worth. Con-
ver's dispatch is as follows:
"From Taku, Aug. 27.-Secretary of
State, Washington: No important

representations from well informed

with the representations of the bust

proper to send gunboat to Annoy, not
because of any particular appreben-
