Roanoke, Va. Nov. 4.-The man hunt
in Franklin county for William Hale. who
fred shot gun into political meeting

direction from which the gun fish came.
Saunders was wounded and captured, but
Hale got away in the darkness. None OF

says Hale has a double barreled, breech-
loading shot gun and plenty of shells and
will not be taken alive.

TO MAKE A NEW RECORD.
The Deutschland Trying to Cross in
Less Than Five Days.

NEW YORK. June H.-Before the Ham
burg-Americau liner Deutschland left her
pier at HobOken yesterday afternoon Capt
AIbers said that he expected the bis ocean
greyhound to beat her best previous rec
course. He said he would not be sur
priscd if he made the trip in less than
five days. The flyers best run eastward
is five days. seven hours and twenty-seyen
minutes, which IS the record The cap
tain believes he can log all the way across
the sea a daily average equal to his best
days run to the. eastward or maybe bet
ter Thus it would be possible to make
the trip in less than five days.
Il have always claimed the captain
said, that the Deutschland can make the
trip under five days She can make a
knots an hour. and if she maintains such
speed on this trip We will lower the
record by from eight to twelve hours
DAYS, and such q record may not be
beaten by any vessel for many years. in
fact there is not d vessel in the express
steamship service OF any being built which
can make tweHty-four knots an hour eX-
cept the Deutschland. and that is why
1 say she is the only vessel that can be
expected to make the voyage III less than
FIVE days"
While the Deutschland was moored at
her pier in H0bOkcu she had her machin-
cry overhaUled, her bunkers filed with
an extra supply Of coal, and her force Of
stGkers increased to give her every chance
to Jreak her best previous record for an
eastward trip.

Colony, the TrausvaaI. and parts Of Cape
