BATTLE WITH ROBBERS.
Three Old Men Kill Two of the Out
 laws and Are Wounded.

Cleveland, O., October 15.-In a seclud- ed farm house on a country road two miles from the village of Rochester, in Lorraine county, battle was fought last night between three aged men named Meach and six robbers. As the result of the battle two of the robbers were shot to death, one probably fatally wounded and two of the Meach brothers were badly beaten.
 There are three of the Meach brothers Loren, aged nearly 80; John, aged about 70, and Jarvis, aged 65 The old men are said to be rich.
 While John was in the barn tonight he was surrounded by three robbers and bound. Going to the house they knocked Jarvis Meach into insensibility by blows on the head. John Meaeh worked himself loose from his bonds, however and se- curing a shotgun, cautiously stole upon the three burglars, who were working on the safe He shot two of them to death and fatally wounded the third man. The three companions of the men who were watching outside immediately got away. The third of the brothers, Loren. is bed ridden, and was not molested.

ONWARD SILVER BREAKS RECORD
Horse Goes Two Miles In 4:29R at
 Lexington-A Great Feat.

Lexington, Ky, October 15. Onward Silver, the great chestnut son of Onward and Silvan Maid, went two miles over the Kentucky Breeders association track today in 4:291a, breaking the American two-mile record of 4.32, made by Green lander in 1893. Hudson was in the sulky and Onward Silver had running mate. When the first mile was reeled off in 2:14 flat hum of exclamations swept over the great crowd in attendance. When he began the last quarter with only three minutes and ffty-five seconds consumed excitement became intense. He had scarcely passed under the wire before the record time was posted, and round after round of cheers followed. T. L. Pruen of Bardstown. Ky, owns the horse
 The card included two stakes. Tn the west the stake record of 2:11A was re- duced to 2:O714, Chase being pressed hard.
 w. Foote, who has two Transylvanias to his credit, drove the winner in the Walnut Hall Farm cup and the record for the event was equaled in the third heat.
 After Prince of Orange. the big favor ite had won the first and second heats Nut Bearer came from the bunch at the round by a length. His next two heats were smartly contested, but he was never in danger near the wire.
 Exceptional time was made in the 2:0S pace. which was taken in impressive style by Sir Albert s. In the first heat the time by quarters was 0:31, 1:01, 132 2:03%.
 The track was fast and the weather pleasant.

Her story, The Last Word has for its heroine young Texas writer, Darlington West who goes from her home in the Southwest to New York; and there makes a great success in journalism.
 So decided was Miss McGowan's prejudices against seeing her heroine represented by pictures made from Eastern models however handsome and striking the type, that she persuaded her publishers permit her to select young Southern beauty to pose for the illustrations Those who see these pictures will certainly admit that her udg- nen was good The high-bred elegance of this exquisite young Creature is familiar to all admirers of Southern Wo- men, in her big cowboy hat she is flashing without being oqd in evening dress she figure familiar to Southern bathrooms and from the ronspece there looks the very soul of the ideal Southern woman.

HARVARD MAKES
 GREAT SHOWING
Wesleyan, However, Was Able
 to Score in Second Half.
CRIMSAYS PLAY WASCLEAN
There Was a Notable Lack of Fun. bling, and In Using an End Be- hind the Line New Play
 Was Introduced.

Cambridge, Mass, October 15.-Har- yards Varsity football team got together in the first half of the Wesleyan game today and scored s5 points in twenty minutes. The showing was the best of any that Harvard has made this year.
 In the second half Harvard put an en- tirely new team on the field, except Still man, who was moved from fullbaek to left half Wesleyan scored in this half after using several trick plays, delayed pass leading to a touchdown.
 With the exception of Graindon at full back and Knowlton in one of the tackle positions. the Harvard team as it started the game was the strongest the coaches could put on the field. Herman was back at left half and Andrew Marshall, once of Dartmouth, played left guard. For the first time Harvard departed from straight rushing game by her backs. and tried several formations. Williams was taken back from tackle and used to ad- vance the ball and Jones was brought from the end for the same purpose.
 In using an end a new play was brought into use by Harvard, for 1t has been customary to bring in the other tackle to alternate the advance. Harvard still had a tendency to be off side in both halves, but there was an absence of furnbling. In the first half the backs circled Wesleyans end almost at will for long gains. and had no trouble in break ing through the opposing line at any point. All of Harvard's scoring was done in this half Marshal, the quarterback, dropped goal from the field from Wes- leyans 2S yard line. He also made an eighty yard run from the kickoff.
 In the second half Wesleyan used its trick plays successfully, Forbes, who had the ball. after delayed pass. making run from the center of the field to liar yards ten yard line, where he was tack led by Daly. Espy from here tried drop kick for goal but was blocked. van Surdon got the ball and ran to Harvard's one yard line and from here Forbes SCOT ed through center. Wesleyan failed to kick a goal.
