In New York Charles +. Jones, the
valet-secretary of William Marsh Rlce'
whom Jones said he had killed by ad-
ministering chloroform, made two at
tempts to commit suicide. Jones hrst
tried to cut himself in the throat with
the jagged neck of large bottle Which
he had shattered for the purpose. Later
he fastened his head between the up
rights OF his iron bedstead and tried to
throw his body off the bed and thus break
his neck. Both these attempts were frus-
trated by the police watching him. Since
the hearing some months ago in the case
Of Lawyer Albert Patrick, in the course
of which Jones made the statement that
he had killed Rice at the instance of rat
rick in order to obtain possession OF the
aged millionaire's property, he has been
confined at a private sanitarium and
carefully watched by police day ana
night. Jones has been feeling badly for
several days and was subject to hts OF

Crew of Fedora Narrowly Escapes,
with Boat n Total Loss.
The wooden steamer Fedora, without
cargo, bound from Duluth to Ashland,
Wis, to load iron ore. caught fire when
off Bass Island and became a total loss.
Her crew of seventeen men escaped, al
though they lost all of their clothing and
effects. The fire originated i'll the engine
room from an exploding lamp. The flames
spread over the entire ship so fast that
the crew were unable to do anything with
the fire pumps, as the engine room was
a mass of flames. The steamer was head
ed for the shore in a race to get to the
beach. Land was finally reached five
miles north of Bayfield, and the crew eS-
capped from the burning wreck in the
clothing they had on. Captain +. A.
Flick commanded the steamer and he lost
ii collection of bric-a-brac valued at sew
eral thousand dollars. After the Fedora
struck the beach she was burned to the
waters edge.

Webster Ballinger the engineer, and in
iured eighteen employees of the railway.
AS the train crossed the crest for the
plunge down the spiral descending into

Six Desperadoes Captured After Long
Battle in Streets.

Altoona, Pa, was terrorized the other
day by six desperadoes, who fought
fierce battle with the police, one of the
bandits being shot in the face by Chief
of Understanding. The trouble started
in the Franklin Hotel, where one of the
party of six grabbed a roll of bills from
w. Il. Dunn, restaurant keeper. Dunn
snatched his money from the man, who
started out to buy revOlvers for himself
and friends. When he returned the ban
dts wanted to search the hotel for Dunn,
but were prevented. The police were
called and the men fed. A posse of Off
GERS and citizens followed them. A run
ming fire was kept up for two miles, in
the streets and through alleys. The men
were caught and will be given a hearing
at once and held for trial. The man who
was shot gave his name as Bill Nye. He
is not seriously hurt. 1t was only by
hard work that lynching was prevented.

To scrub the boards that long ago
Gave our good town renown.

And the magic all lies in SAPOLIO.
