ADDS TO THE MYSTERY.
Wounded Man Anxious to Have His
ASsaiIaut Freed.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, March 11.-John
Gonon, who shot Frank Taylor Satur-
day evening, was captured while try
ing to leave town on one of the night
trains. He will not tell his reasons
for shooting Taylor. Taylor will re-
cover unless blood poisoning sets In.
The bullet penetrated only a short dis
lance, bu carried a piece of cloth into
the wound. A singular thing about the
ease is hat Taylor seems anxious to
have the boy freed Immediately, and
says he will not appear against him.

lowed to the Azores.
Horta, Azores. March 1.-THE Etru-
ria entered this harbor in tow last
evening. All on board are we'll.
She had a comparatively uneventful
passage, except for the breakdown.
which occurred during the dinner hour
of Feb. 20. When this occurred the
Etruria had only just finished speak
Ing by wireless telegraphy with the
Cunard line steamship Umbria. AFTER
the accident was discovered the Etru-
ria called the Umbria wirelessly for N
hour, but without success.
Upon examination IL was found that
the ships propeller had broken Off out
side the tube and that the rudder had
been carried away by the propeller.
The Etruria then sent up rockets
which were seen by the British steamer
William Cliff. The latter r down
and was alongside in fifty minutes al
ter the accident. She stood by until
daylight when, after several attempts,
she succeeded in passing a hawser
aboard the Etruria. The tank steamer

at this time. The William Cliff then

Ottawa attempted TO steer her. The
Hawser. however, snapped. The OF
tawa stood by for two days and then
left for Fayal, bearing the second Of
fcer of the Etruria, to report the dis
aster and obtain assistance.
In the meanwhile the crew OF the
Etruria had made every effort to rig
a jury rudder. The first such rudder
was carried away Immediately an at
tempt was made to use 1t. After FUR
Their efforts, lasting for two days, a
second jury rudder vas successfully
adjusted and is still IN position.
The passengers OF the Etruria were
satisfied they were In no danger, and
they praise the conduct of the captain
and crew of the vessel. After the acci-
dent the passengers amused them
selves with the usual deck sports, and
concerts were held in the first and sec
ond cabins. Only those who were
anxious concerning business matters
chafed at the unavoidable delay. The
Etruria reports having sighted the
Italian mall steamer Sardegna. from
Naples Feb. 26 for New York, last
Wednesday, March s. The Sardegna
stood by, but finding she could be OF
no assistance.
Proceeded on Her Course.
The Etruria was hoping to communi-
cate with the North German Lloyd
steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm by wire
less telegraphy, but her mast wire
broke In several places and she was
unable to repair it until h weather
had improved, when 1t was too late.
After the accident the passage of the
Cunard steamer was entirely unevent-
full, and there occurred nothing of In
terest beyond the daily runs. of the yes
sci, which ranged from go to 100 knots.
The Etruria will wait here for the
arrival of the royal mail steamer Elbe,
which left Southampton for Horta
Saturday. The Elbe will carry the
Etruria's passengers to England. The
Etruria viii then be towed horne by
two tugs which are now on theiT way
out from Liverpool for this purpose.

When the relief train left the scene

would have been folly. The death list

Relatives or Friends.
FL Paso Is filed with the wreck VIC

the hospitals have all they can care

cal condition, but nearly all are ex-
pected to recover.
-Four thousand people awaited the
coming OF the relief train at the sta
ton. The Pullman cars were crowded
with the totally disabled and the day
coaches contained those who were
slightly injured. There was hardly a
complies suit Of clothes in the entire
crowd. Nearly all had lost their hats
and the majority of those able TO walk
had only blankets wrapped about them.
Scarcely a man appeared but wore
bandages. Women were still hysterical
and several injured babes we're TO be
seen. A dozen or more persons had
to be carried from the train on litters.
Nothing additional has beer learned as
to the cause OF the wreck. Passengers
think the engineer lest control of his
engine.

PEACE PROBABLY NEAR.
Seems at an End-A Few lrrec0ncil-

London, May 24.-The Associated
press has every reason to believe
that peace in South Africa is practi-
cally secured. How soon it will be
announced depends, apparently, more
upon the convenience of the Boer
leaders than upon the inclination Of
the British government. The pri-
vate and official advces received last
night in London from South Africa
all point to the same conclusion. The
delay is technical, and to end the
long war seems to be the desire OF
both British and Boer leaders. The
latter, however, are unable to con-
vince all their followers Of the wis
dom of acquiescing to the terms of
peace. The most pessimistic forecast
heard last night only admits that a
few isolated bands of irreconcilables
may be left In the field

back strong and finished the round
fresh AT no time was there any
time lost, both men being willing to
lead and force the fighting whenever
necessary. Corbett showed superior
ity in the first, second, third and
fourth rounds. Broad had a shade
the better of the fifth and seventh
and had Corbctt groggy in the ninth.
Broad seemed much stronger in the
tenth, but on points the referee de-
cidcd Corbett had won the battle,
The crowd was divided as to the JUS
tice of the decision, many holding
that Broad was entitled to draw.
The contest was for half the gross
receipts, IS per cent. of which goes
to the winner and 25 per cent. to the
loser and the featherweight cham
pionship of the world. They weighed
in at 1876 pounds.
