Denver. April 1l.-Maj. Gen. Sir
Richard c. Stewart of the British army
is in Denver to investigate the condi-
tions surrounding the purchase of
horses and mules for South Africa. The
arrival of the general is the result of
charges that the British government
has been swindled out of
many hundred thousand pounds ster-
ling by agents for the purchase
OF horses for the army. General Stew
art said there was no camp of the Brit
ish army at Chalmette, La, whence
Governor Heard says the British are
sending men, horses and mules to South
Africa in violation of the neutrality
laws. "The shipping of mules and
horses Is being done in a manner meet
ing all legal requirements" said the
general. Il do not think the United
States government will consider re-
ceiving and shipping poifit for horses
and mules for the British army few

camp in any sense"

the ingenuity of it struck Mrs. Strong
so that she went into the bedroom,

produced the wound neither did Mr.

Just when the deed was committed no
one can tell, but it was not long before
it was discovered. Prof. Strong has
complained recently of not feeling well,
and the most probable supposition is
that he became discouraged and des-

this means of ending his trouble.
That the deed was uncussessful is a
sincere cause of congratulation and 1T
is hoped that Improvement will con-
'tinue until he regains his usual good
health.

BATTLE IN SALOON.
Eight Men Hold Up saIoonkeeper
Who Makes Desperate Resistance
With Heavy Bottle as His Weapon
Two Arrests.

Chicago. April lin a desperate
| eight drunken marauders early today
| two men were shot and two others re-
ceiyed wounds from a bottle which
| later led to their arrest. Others were
hurt, but escaped The affair occurred
| in Michael Adonowicz's saloon, in a
lonely spot on the south side. The sa-
loonkeeper was about to close his doors
when eight men, carrying revolvers, en-
tered. Two of them covered Adono-
wicz with a pistol, while another pair
started to open the cash register. Other
members of the gang helped themselves
to whisky and cigars. Adonowicz, un-
daunted by the pistols leveled at him,
seized heavy bottle from the bar and
assailed his captors with vigor SO
sudden that both were stretched out in
a trice. Then Adonowicz snatched a
revolver from the third robber and
opened fire. Michael Beasley, one of
the intruders, fell with bullets in his
hip and abdomen. Beasleys compan-
ions Immediately returned the fire. The
scene became one of general riot.
Chairs We're hurled thru the windows
and the bar was wrenched from it's
fastenings. The bullets flew wild, but
one of the robbers knocked Adonowicz
senseless with blow on the head.
Charles Ashmus, living over the saloon,
attracted by the noise, rushed into the
street just in time to meet two of the
lhighwaymen who were leaving the
place. One of the men promptly shot at
him. The bullet inflicted scalp
wound and knocked Ashmus senseless.
The men took 81 from him and de-
parted. When the police arrived the
marauders still remained riotously en-
joying themselves. AT sight of the blue
coats they fed thru the back door and
escaped. Herman Bodehl and Joseph
Pola-czynski, supposed to have been
the men who held up Ashmus, were ar
rested later. Both men were cut and
bruised from the blows of Adonowicz's s
bottle. Beasley, suffering from his
wound, was unconscious and was taken
to the county hospital. Adonowicz and
Ashmus were also unconscious, but
were easily revived. The saloon is a
complete wreck.
