Partners in some of the largest Amer

There is a good supply of goli here

exchange rates are still too high for
it to pay to send gold there.
Regarding the general trade ball

more than enough to absorb all the

TRAGEDY IN OCALA.
WrOnEed Husband Takes Vengeance
Into His Own Hands and Stays His
Wife's Paramount.


Ocala, Fla, Sept. 24.-About daylight
the quiet of the central part of this
town was shattered by a rapid fusil-
lade, the groans and curses of men
locked in a death grapple and the
shrieks of a woman wild with terror.
w. I. Frierson is young man who
has lived here for years and won the
havior and constant industry. He has
a wife and one son.
Moses Brown. a young grocery clerk,
has been paying attention to the lady
for some time. 1t is hardly possible
that Frierson did not know of it
months ago, but he semes to have kept
quiet for the sake of his child, and
also because, despite her faults, he
was devoted to his wife. His trouble
at last became unbearable. His work
sometimes kept him away from home
at night.
Last night he learned, while at work,
that Brown was with Mrs. Frierson::
He welt home and found himself
locked out. He sat down and waited.
Soon Brown tried to slip out, barefoot,
his shoes in one hand, a pistol in the
other. Fierson met him and told him
the matter had gone on long enough;
it had to be settled. Brown at once
opened fire. He shot Frierson through
the mouth, through the shoulder and
through the thigh. For some reason
Friersons pistol would not work. 1t
was a big "A, and using it as a club,
he closed with Browny~nd beat him to
the earth.
He is a smaller man than Brown,
and his wounds would have taken the
fight out of most men, but Brown
seems to have had no chance after
Frierson grappled him. After beating
one side of Browns head to a pulp,
Frierson fired three bullets into the
other. He then finished the work by
sending a bullet into Browns stom-
ach.
Meantime, Mrs. Frierson, upstairs,
had gone into screaming commissions.
Although sorely wounded, Frierson
made his way up the street till he met
a neighbour whom he sent for doc
tor He then staggered back TO the
house and fell on the porch When
the doctor arrived Frierson sent him
to see if his wife needed at
tention, and not until he was as
sured she was in no danger would he
allow his own wounds to be attended
to. Some of the people who were
thronging the premises proposed to get
doctor for Brown, but Frierson said:
HE doesn't need any doctor; if 1
thought he did l would be beating on
him yet" He spoke the truth. for had
a freight train run over Browns head,
it couldn't have killed him any more
dead than he was.
Mr.. Frierson will probably get well.
Everybody here SympathiZeS with him.

issued a statement on the Presidents
condition as follows:
THE Presidents physicians report
that he stood the trip home very well.
and it is believed that the local in
flammatory symptoms will subside in
week or ten days if the leg is kept
absolutely at rest"
1t was stated that no further oper-
alton on the wound had been per-
formed. So satisfactory is his condi-
ton that it was not deemed necessary
to have even the services of a trained
nurse during the night.
''Not as Bad AS 1 Look"
II do not feel as bad as 1 look" was
the assuring remark of President
Roosevelt to his friends and fellow cit
liens, who assembled at the Pennsyl-
wanna Railroad station. tonight to
welcome him back to the Capital City.
1t was a pathetic ending to President
Roosevelts carefully planned crusade
to the Northwest, with the intention of
preaching his gospel of tariff revision.

vigorous, athletic young President.

in an invalid's chair, and from his
carriage to his bedroom in the tenn
porary White House. by four stalwart
policemen. 1t was the look of sympa-
thy and anxiety upon the faces of those
who witnessed the Presidents sad
home coming, which induced him to
lat IT,. l..
that he felt better than he looked.
Mrs. Roosevelt. who returned to
Washington early this afternoon, made
everything comfortable at the temoor-
airy White House in Jefferson Square,
which is to be the home of the PreSi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt until the re-
pairs on the White House are complet-
ed. The Presidents apartment is To-
Gated upon the second floor of the tenn
porary residence. the first and third
floors being occupied by the executive
force.
Secretary Cortelyou said the Presi-
dent had passed a restful and COM
paratively easy day on the homeward
journey. The wound is healing nicely
and there is an absence of fever, which
was threatened just prior to the oDer-
alton. There will be no further bulle-
tins issued, for the surgeons in charge
state that what the President most
needs is to rest the injured limb for at
least a week or ten days. The Presi-
dent will be required to remain in bed
or rest on couch during that period
so that every opportunity may be af-
forded for a thorough healing of the
wound.

were chased by a crowd of strikers.
mostly foreigners. The fugitives fired
several shots and this brought the
whole neighborhood to the scene. I'm
mediately a general hunt was organ
lied by the strikers and their sympa-
thizers, with non-union men coming
from the adjacent colleries, as their
quarry.
Half dozen different groups of nom
union men were chased by as many
different crowds in as many different
directions. Shots were freely exchang-
ed. While the neighborhood was still
in an uproar a couple of companies
from the camp four miles away, ar
rived and the huntsmen proceeded to
seek cover.
Col. Watres had patrols out in all
directions at night looking for disturb
ers, and keeps two trains on two diff
ferent railroads constantly under steam

it's towns except the ridge are along
the line of one or the other of the

New York, Sept. "a The unexpected
news that President Roosevelt was
compelled to abandon his trip and sub
NIT to surgical treatment, proved an
additional burden upon the stock mar
ket this morning. Opening prices
showed threatening breaks of from

The reassuring bulletins of the Presi-

1t was at that time that loans began
to be made. and the fact was disclosed
that the banks were continuing their
policy of calling loans. The result
was another violent slump, which car

TROOPS FOR LUzERNE.
Governor Answers Appeal From
Sheriff by Sending Regiment.

sheriff by Sending Regiment.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 24.-In COM
pliance with the request of Sheriff
Jacobs and numerous citizens OF Luz
zerne county, Gov. Stone issued an
order at noon to-day directing the
Ninth Regiment National Guard OF
Pennsylvania to mobilize at Wilkes
barre. The regiment has it's headquar-
tiers here and three hours after the or
der had been received. Col. G. b.
Dougherty, the commanding officer,
had the regiment, with the exception
of the Hazleton companies. ready for
the field. The regiment consists of
twelve companies and has a member
ship of about $50. There are quite
number of mine workers in the reg1-
ment, but all responded readily to the
call. Col. Dougherty says he does not
apprehend any serious trouble.
President Mitchell refused to make
any comment on Sheriff Jacobs action
in asking the Governor for troops for
the Wyoming region. He said the pres
ence of the militia would not interfere
with any of his plans. which were to
push the strike to a successful issue.
Some of the Mitchell lieutenants think
the sheriff acted rather hastily and
that the bringing of troops here was
for the purpose of enabling the mine
owners to operate their collieries, but
they would be disappointed as the
strikers are as determined as ever.
Sheriff Jacob in a statement issued
to the public explains at length why
he called on the Governor for troops.
He says the outbreaks were becoming
too numerous, and with the limited
number of men at his command he
could not cope with the unlawful as
sembies that gathered in various
places throughout the county.

mine siding at Warrior Run last night,

SHAW'S PLAN.

Treasury Secretary May Increase
Deposits to Market Value of Bonds.
Washington, Sept. 24.-While Secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw has made
no announcement of his intention to
employ means further to relieve the
stringency in the money market, it is
known that he has under consid grafton
the ACCESSIBILITY of increasing the
amounts of government funds on de-
post at national bank repositories to
the full market value of the bonds on
deposit with the government. At
present government funds TO the
amount of the par value of the bonds
on deposit are placed in the hanks. If
the proposed scheme should he adopted

materially the amounts of public non
ey on deposit with the banks, thus re-

amount.
