AFTER A RUNNING FIGHT.
Two Burglars Captured and Their
Comrades Surrounded.

Comrades Surrounded.
Norridgewock, Me-, Oct. 15.-After
a running fight through the woods Of
several towns in this vicinity be-
tween four men who raided N%orridge-
wock's business section Wednesday
and a posse Of 200 officers and citi-
zens, two of the fugitives were cap
tured and the others are surrounded in
the woods skirting the Carrabassett
river neal North Arson. The two
men now in custody were arrested
only after one of them had been dis
abled by a bullet wound in the ankle
and the other hopeless1y cornered.
The other two were driven into a mar
row strip of woods, surrounded on
three sides by Doggy swamps. The
posse believed that the escape of the
men was impossible and a %peremptory
demand was made to surrender.
The only reply was a fusilade OF
shots from the thicket and then the
fugitives quietly slipped across the
apparently impossible bog with quite
a lead over their pursuers.
The chase continued through the vii
lage OF Madison and into the woods be-
yond Arson village, where the hunt
was stopped by darkness. Both banks
of the river are now strongly guarded
by deputy sheriffs.
The men captured gave their names
as Charles p. Smith of Pittsburg, N.
Fl, and John Morrison of New York,
and said their companions were John
and Fred Burns of Canada.
Although several stores were enter
ed and safes blown bv the burglars,
the proceeds of the raid were small.

New York, Oct. 15.-All other fea
lures of the political campaign were
over-shadowed in interest Wednesday
by the almost positive assurance that
the factional Democratic fight in

peace between the Mclaughlin faction

TO FIGHT THE COMBINE.
crucibIe Steel Company Will Build
FINISHING Mills,

Pittsburg. Oct. 15.-Since the Unit
ed States Steel corporation has de-
clined to take over a half interest in
the Clarion Steel company, now
owned by the Crucible Steel company
and after a contract had been made to
do so, the officers of the Crucible com
pany have announced that they will
60 ahead with the original plans to
make this great property a powerful
competitor of the combine, and will
themselves raise the necessary funds
to do SC. The fact that the company
owns its ore lands. coking plants and
coal mines, it's off cers say, puts it in
an independent position for raw ma
terial. All it has to do now is to build
finishing mills to it's already enormous
works at Charlton to have one of the
newest and most modern steel plants

Lexington, s. c., Oct. 15.-The clos
ing arguments in the case of j.. H.
Tillman were made Wednesday, and at
LAP p. m. Judge Gary gave the case
to the jury.
The arguments consumed two and q
half days. Senator Tillman. uncle OF
the defendant, was present. Colonel
Croft made the closing address for the
defendant and final appeal for his &C
quittal. In summing up the defend

of witnesses for the defense relative
to the position of Gonzales hands as
he approached Tillman. He also
pressed the point that the defendant
was to be judged in the light of cir
cumstances as they appeared to him.
Colonel Croft was followed by General
G. D. Bellinger, who closed for the

the trial. General Bellinger made a

Counsel having concluded, Judge
Gary Immediately proceeded to charge
the jury. Having defined homicide,
the court instructed the jury that the
defendant set lip a plea of self-defense,
and that to sustain that plea he must
satisfy the jury by a preponderance
Of evidence, not beyond reasonable
doubt, Of four things:
That he was without fault in bring
ing on the difficulty; that he believed
at the time it was necessary to take
the life Of his adversary to save his
own life. Or to save himself from sc
rious bodily harm: that a man of or

age in a like situation would have
come to the same conclusion; and that
he had no probable means Of escape.
Continuing, the court charged: TT
Is necessary for the state to establish
its case to your satisfaction beyond

Concluding, the court said: Gentle

laid out in little plots, to be planted by
her pupils.
With due impressiveness the school
was organized under the title of the
junior school of horticulture, and the
rules, few and strictly necessary, were
laid down to the enrolled students.
Then each boy, provided with his own
brand new hoe and other implements
which the league supplied, went forth
and took possession OF his lot.
Then began the work set out before
Miss Stevens of directing the super
abundance of physical energy Of which
boys are possessed into profitable edu-
cation, at the same time TO prove that
a garden of this kind could be main
tanned on an open tract Of land in the

that they might dispose as they pleased

set to work with a viii
They came in classes Of about 90, from
eight to ten O'Clock in the morning.
Each morning before they began work
Miss Stevens gave them Instructions for
the day either in planting. transplanting
or cultivating
The ground was first plouged and har-
rowed. and then the boys laid out gar
dens, 1lx165 feet, which they subdiyided
into smaller plots, most of them IMP
feet.
They got the soil well pulverized and
in condition FOR planting their crops, and
were kept busy all summer In cultivating
and wedding.
The youthful farmers and gardeners
made enough money from their crops to
pay them handsomely for their pains.
At the same time they were given prac-
teal lesson in agriculture which will be
valuable to them all their lives.
Instead of being idle they we're at
work-instead of being engaged in mis-
chief they were exercising their muscles
In the cultivation of their farms.
Never did boys take more interest In
any work. Miss Stevens had not the
slightest trouble with them. The young
teacher. by taking an early start next
year, hopes 20 get much better results.
