TOO MUCH POWDER

PARKERSBUR. w. Va, Sept. 25.-
Fourteen hundred dollars in gold and
silver coin lay scattered over THE floor
of the irst National Bank of Friendly
at i clock this morning when Presi-
dtnt Hugh Thofne fought his way into
the bank, firing as he went and driv-
ing 1ou1 bank robbers before him.
Besides the coin, about $4,000 in paper
lay scattered over the floor, most of 1t
blown to shreds and beyond all SEM
blance of money.
The men had been at work for an
hour and had reached the place where
the money was kept, but they put too
heavy a charge in the iron cash box,
and scattered the coin and mutilated
the currency. The arrival of Presi-
dent Thorne prevented them from get
ting any of the money, and they made
quick run for their lives
A neighbor was awakened about 3
o'clock and watched their operations
for an hour before he gave the alarm.
They entered the bank through a
window, blew open the outer and in
ner doors of the vault and got into the
safe in which the iron cash box was
kept. Then they went at the cash
box. For part of their work they
used a heavy iron crowbar, which
they got from neighboring shop.
Why the neighbor failed to give the
alarm is not known. but he finally got
word to President Thorne, who seized
his revolver and started in his night
clothes for the bank. The man on
guard outside saw him coming and
fired on him. Mr. Thorne fired back
and the fellow ran A running fire
was kept UP for several minutes, and
by the time Mr.. Thorne reached the
bank the men inside were thoroughly
alarmed by the firing and beat hasty
retreat through the windows All
four escaped in a skiff to Ohio They
carried pocket maps of West Virginia
Ohio. Pennsylvania and New York,
and are thought to be professionals.
The bank was fully insured against
burglaries, and will lose nothing.
The plate glass windows were broken
by the explosions.

OLD CRIMINAL 4 WhNDERER
Chinese Desperate is Said to be Hdunt6d bu
bu Evil D66dS

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Sept. 25.-
Woe Thue, once famous and blood
thirsty desperate in China, leader of a
rebel clan and wholesale murderer, is
dragging out the end of his days in a
miserable hoyel in the Chinese quarter
of this city, in poverty.
Woo Thue was noted all through
southern China as wrestler. In the
civil war between the See Yup and
Arc Kar clans, Woo Thue led the See
Yups into some of the widest fights,
where men died like ants.
The old rebel was taken to the SUI
perior court to be examined for in
sanity. He was pitiable object He
was almost blind. His shoes had fallen
off and he had walked through the dirt
in his white stockings His hat was
nothing more than an old patch of felt,
with the brim gone,
The old man kept his head ducked
down against his shoulder and gnawed
at his thin old queue. When he lifted
his face it was horrible to see. The
lines of his face were hard and cruel.
The eyes had the expression of a de-
mon.
For months old Woo Thue has been in
Chinatown, begging and bullying pit
tances from the See Yup clansmen to
get money enough to buy opium. They
wanted to send him back to China, but
he would not go.
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-25

The police found him wandering
around the streets, armed with big
club. He was chewing up bits Of
paper. He fought fercely when thsy
took him in custody, and the police
found that the old fire and the steel
muscles that once made him q great
athlete are not yet to be despised.
When they got him into court old
Woo Thue showed no sign of insanity.
He was as sullen as an old watchdog.
When they asked him where he was
sick he snarled that he was not sick.
They asked him how old he was.
He said he didn't know. He said he
had been born two or three times, and
so had lost track. Further, he vouch-
safed the information that one Of his
deaths had been the dreadful cling
ehee," where man is cut to pieces bit
by bit.
Finally they asked him point blank
If he wasn't crazy. He answered phil
osophically: 'Tt is hard to tell IL
man is crazy, or to tell anything else
about him. Sometimes O. man eats
and sometimes not. Sometimes ne has
money an dsometimes his friends give
him money"
In Chinatown they say that old Woo
Thue has tortured conscience. They
say he is haunted by the memory of
the many men he has slaughtered. To
forget. he keeps himself far away in
the opium dreams.

THREE YERRS OLD

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-Its mem
bers angered by mutual accusations o1
treachery and by the unjust fines i'm
posed upon the victims of stool
pigeon" orders, the big electrical sup
ply trust, a secret organization which
only last May was charged with being
subject to prosecution under the Sher-
man law. went to pieces yesterday,
when its subscribers, after a stormy
meeting, resolved to disorganize and
repudiate the agreements which have
bounG them together for three years.
This end of a powerful combination,
which is charged with having driven
more than 5000 dealers and manufac-
turers out OF business, caused rejoicing
or dismay, as the case might be, in
all tn electrical supply houses in the
city yesterday.
Supply dealers from this city, Bos-
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and in
fact all the big eastern cities, were
present, and all of them were angry.
They charged one another with hav-
ing violated faith and decided that the
trust no longer had any reason for ex-
istence.
There were 131 members in the Elec-
trical Supply Dealers association, the
combined capital of the firms COM
prising 1t being placed at $50,000,000.
1t is charged, and it was openly ad-
mitted by the supply dealers today,
that their association was allied with
the Electrical Manufacturers associ-
alton, whose price Schedules they
were forced to accept.
Agreements of the Electrical Manu-
facturers' association, according to the
supply dealers, have been disorganized
by the collapse of the Supply Dealers
association. The Manufacturers asso-
citation is credited with controlling
capital to the amount of 100000, 900,
and thus electrical supply trade inter-
ests estimated at $150,000,000 were af-
fected by yesterdays meeting.

There were seven charges pending
against him, but his wife remained

just three months after his arrest, he
was sentenced to serve ten years in
San Quentin.

SAN francisco, Calf, Sept. 25.-
Edmund Edminster, the one-time
aristocratic burglar, but now an hum
BILE inmate of the State prison at San

prisoner before the bar of justice,

wife. Now she seeks separation be-
cause he is convicted felon-convict-
ed on seven burglary counts. and each
crime committed in order to fulfill an
ambition to shine socially.
Edminster was married on October
Ia, 1900, when he was a cobbler. He
conducted small shop, and apparent
~ was devoted to his young wife, df-
viding his time between the shop and
the fat upstairs in which he lived But
the cobbler was ambitious; he longed
for social predominence among his
coterie of friends, and sought to reward
his wife's love by gifts of rare jewels
and other finery which a limited in
come could not pychase.
SO the cobbler schemed, studiously
endeavoring to hit upon the easy high
way to wealth and plenty. Although
of unusual resources, administers plans
led him into evil paths. He turned
thief. dividing his time equally between
playing the gentleman and entertaining
numerous friends at informal affairs
at his home, pillaging the residences
of his neighbors, and earning an honest
dollar as a cobbler. His depredations
were of the spectacular order, usually
committed in broad daylight and ex-
ecuted as coollly as if he were leading
