TWO MEN ABE DEAD.
Fatal Accident to Threshing Machine
and Its Crew. ~

and It's Crew. ~
Somerset, Sept. 1s.-A thresher
engine went through the Stub creek
bridge near here, killing one man.,
and possibly two, and breaking the
hip Of another. The thresher engine
belonged to Chris Troub, who lives
one mile north of Indianola. When
the engine went down Troub was
caught under it and was SO badly
crushed and scalded he died within
three hours after being taken out.
A man by the name of Dickinson, a
helper, was also fatally injured, and
is probably dead. John Runcunin,
mananother victim, had his hip
broken. The bridge is about fifty
feet long and where the engine fell
was twenty to twenty-five feet high.
Another threshing outfit passed over
this bridge safely the night before:
The bridge was in bad condition and
it is likely claim will be made be-
fore the county supervisors for dam
ages for the loss of the lives.

GERMANY TAKES STAND
Demands That lnstlgators Of Out
RACES be Surrendered.

Berlin Sept. 19.-The foreign Office
has sent telegraphic note to the Ger
man embassies at Washington, Lon
don, Paris, St. Petersburg, Rome, vi
emma and Toxic. The text of the tele.
graphic note is as follows:
'"The government OF the emperor
holds as preliminary to entering upon
diplomatic relations with the Chinese
government that those persons must
be delivered up who have been proved
to be the original and real instigators
of the outrages against international
law, which have occurred at Picking.
The number of those who were really
instruments in carrying out the out
RACES is too great. Wholesale execu-
tions would be contrary to the civil
lied conscience and the circumstances
of such group of leaders cannot be
completely ascertained. But few
whose guilt is notorious should be de-
livered up and punished. The repre-
sentatives of the powers at Peking are
in a position to give or bring forward
convincing evidence. Less Importance
attaches to the number punished than
to their character as chief lnstigators
as leaders. g.. r.a
''The government believes it can
count on the unani1nity of all the cab
inets in regard to this point, in so
much as Indifference to the idea of
just atonement would be equivalent to
Indifference to repetition of the
crime. The government proposes,
therefore, that the cabinets concerned
should instruct their representatives
at Picking, to indicate the leading Chi
nese personages from whose guilt in
instigating or perpetrating outrages
all doubt is excluded. (Signed)
"Von Buelow"
Berlin, Sept. 1e,-The publication of
Count Won Buelow's circular note,
which was made through the Nord
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, was de-
cided upon because it was deemed best
to let the world see that Germany had
nothing to hide regarding her real
aims in China. The diplomatic corps
here so interprets it. The note shows
also that Count Won Buelow's sober
and moderate views regarding the Chi
nese muddle and it's solution have
now triumphed over Emperor Will
liam's more expansive plans. Tomor-
row the leading German papers viii
approve the note. u p

London, Sept. 21.-Roberts cables
from Nelspruit as follows:
: 'Of the three thousand Beers who
retreated from Komaupoort before
the British advance from Machado-
dorp, seven hundred entered Portu-
guese territory, others deserted in
various directions, the balance are
reported to have crossed the Komati
river, and to be occupying spurs of
'Lobombo mountain, south of the rail-
way. General tumult seems to have
occurred when they recognized the
'hopelessness of their cause. Their
Long Toms and field guns were de-
.stroyed, and nothing is left of the
Boer army but few marauding
bands. Kelly-Kenny is dealing with
one of these, which occupies posi-
ton at Doornberg."
