FIGHT ON The BOND
GAYNOR'S SURETY is NOT YIELD
ING CHEERFULLY.
KIRK APPEALS TO COURT
TO HAVE EXECUTION ISSUED
HERE SET ASIDE.

Levy, Under the Execution from
Judge Speer, Was Made Monday
in Syracuse on the Property of
KirL-He Was BOndsman for Gay
nor in the Sum of $4O,OOO-U. $.
District Attorney in New York
VIII Oppose an Order to Set
Aside the Execution.
Syracuse, N. Y, April 9.-Judge Ray,
in the United States Court to-day, is
sued an order on United States Mar
shall MacDougall to show cause why
an execution issued in the United
States Court in Savannah on the prop
erty of William K. Kirk in this city
should not be set aside.
The levy was made Monday and is
on account of a $4,000 bond signed by
Mr.. Kirk for John F. Gaynor, which
the latter forfeited by going to Que
bee just before trial of the criminal
proceedings against him and Benjamin
Greene and others for conspiring with
Oberlin NJ Carter to defraud the
United States in Savannah harbor
work.
The order will be opposed at Nor
witch, April 49, by United States Dis
trict Attorney Curtis of Binghamton.
The formal order estreating the bonds
of both Greene and Gaynor was taken
at the January term of the court in
Savannah. The order was somewhat
in the form of a rule absolute, predi-
Gated on the order of the court on
March II, 1902, the day on which the
two defendants failed to appear before
the court. No cause having been
shown in the meanwhile why the order
taken on that day should not be made
| final, the judgment of the court was
passed on Jan 10, 1903, nearly one year
after the flight of the defendants.
At that time the court ordered that
executions be issued against John f.
Gaynor as principal on the bond for
$4,000 and William b. Kirk, his sure
ty, and likewise against Benjamin ID.
Greene and his surety, James ID.
Leary; the executions being directed
to the marshal of the United States for
the Southern district of Georgia, the
marshal of the United States for the
Northern district of New York, and to
all other marshals of the United States.
1t wis upon the execution directed to
the marshal for the Northern district
of New York that the levy was made,
to which exceptions are now taken.
At that time there was a rumor cur
rent to the effect that the principals
on the bonds had protected their sure
ties by depositing with them the
amounts of their forfeitures. This ru-
NOR was nailed as false by dispatch
to the Morning News, in which Kirk
was quoted as saying that he knew of
no plan to pay the amount of the for
FIXTURES into the registry of the courts.
That he had no idea of so doing, with
out being forced to it by the authori-
ties, is now plainly evident.

SHOT HIM WHILE
HE LAY ASLEEP.
Jealousy Prompted the Woman to
Commit the Crime.

Kansas City, April 9.--Mrs. Amanda
Williams, who came here recently
from Texas. shot and fatally wounded
Carroll Mix of Fayetteville, Ark, while
the latter was asleep in his room here,
early to-day. At the police station
later she refused to talk.
Mrs. Williams and Mix were former
serted by her husband some time ago
in Texas town and until recently
had been in Fayetteville.
AS Mix lay asleep Mrs. Williams en-
tered his room at $50 o'clock, unknown
to any other occupant of the house,
and began firing at him. The first
shot struck him on the nose, the second
in the cheek. the third in the groin
and the fourth graZed his left arm.
The fifth bullet, the last in the revolver,
went wild. Mrs. Williams submitted
to arrest quietly.
Mix, who was taken to the hospital
in a dying condition, said he came
to Kansas City few days ago to get
away from the woman. and said that
he did not know she was in the city.
Mrs. Williams is 80 years Old and
Mix is 20. Mrs. Williams said she had
left Fayetteville on Monday last to
meet Mix, who had preceded her the
day previous. She met him here two
days ago, she asserted, but he had
evaded her. Mrs. Williams admitted
frankly that the shooting was prompt
ed by jealousy. She said she had been
deserted by her husband in Texas a
year ago, and that the acquaintance
with Mix, whom she had known for
years, was renewed. Mix was a far
mer.
Mrs. Williams, in a statement to the
prosecutor admitted that she had
purchased the revolver a month ago
and that she had planned the shooting
deliberately. She was cool and collect
ed when arrested but later in her cell
became hysterical and expressed sor-
row for her deed.

CLASH OF STRIKERS
AND NON-UNI0N MEN.
One Man Was Shot Through the
Neck in the Melee.


Detroit, April 9.-Michael Sullivan,
of Walkerville, Ont. was shot through
the neck and number of other men
We're slightly injured in a fight which
took place at the foot of Joseph Cam
pau avenue here tonight in a collision
between strikers and non-union work
men of the Canadian Bridge Companys
works, located in Walkerville, across
the river from Detroit.
The police arrested four men, all
of whom were non-union workmen of
Detroit, who had been filling the
strikers places at Walkerville and
were just returning home from their
days work.
1t is alleged that the strikers and
their sympathizers followed the nom
union men from the works at the close
of the day with the deliberate inten-
ton of making trouble as soon as they
reached the American shore. There
were probably 200 men, including both
factions, and the fight began as soon
as they had left the ferry at the De-
troit wharf.
The prisoners registered as George
E. Kennedy. Fred Metzner, Gustave
Adams and Julis Stalter of Detroit. 1t
is alleged that Kennedy fired the first
shot, and that it was he who shot
Sullivan. During the fight most of
the Canadians were driven back to
the ferry and across the river.
Steve Laduc, also of Walkerville,
was struck over the head with an
iron bar, and both he and Sullivan
were taken to local hospitals. Neither
Sullivan or Laduc is dangerously in
jured. however.

New York, April 9.-The Union

BEAT SHAMROCK
OVER II MINUTES.
ReaHtifuI Sailing of the New Cup
Challenger.

ReantifuI Sailing of the New Cup
Challenger.
Weymouth, England. April 9.-Over
thirty-mile course, fifteen miles to
leeward and fifteen to windward, the
Shamrock III to-day beat the Sham
rock by II minutes and 26 seconds.
Hitherto the challenger has shown
weakness down the wind. but to-day
she proved as good on this point of
sailing as on any other, and better on
all points than she had heretofore
shown herself. oven ten minutes of
the run out from the turning point at
Lulworth Cove and over seven minutes
on the beat home were the challen-
gers sensational gains over the older
boat.
The Shamrock 1 was hopelessly
beaten from start to finish and was
wholly unable to match the pace set
by the challenger Yachtsmen consider
this to be a notable victory and as
showing the Shamrock III to be a
much more formidable challenger for
the Americas cup than ever her ad-
mirers had heretofore suggested.

Three pieces of the exploded gun, each
weighing over a ton, passed downward
through the spar deck, falling upon
the men at mess, instantly killing the
three named. All of the men were
horribly mutilated.
The heavy missiles, after passing
through the gun deck continued down
to the third deck, where they came
in contact with the armored deck, the
heavy steel bringing them to a stop,
thus saving the engineers and fire.
men, who were at work below.
Although the upper decks were
crowded with men, no one there was
seriously injured.
The explosion occurred just as the
mess call had been sounded. Firing
was to have ceased after the shot for
the dinner hour The range had been
set, and the Iowa was steaming along
at a speed of twelve knots an hour,
when Lieut. Reed, in charge of the for
ward Pinch turrent, gave orders to
load and fire. The time fuse was cut
for the range, the piece charged, breech
closed and the word given to fire.
Following the report of the gun there
was a smothered report, as the shell
exploded midway in the gun, and pieces
of the burst gun and shell were scat
tered broadcast. Three great holes
were torn through the deck.
Those who were below began coming
up on deck, some bloody and mutilat-
ed, while lying on the floor, crushed al
most beyond recognition, were the
three unfortunate men.
The Massachusetts,, six miles distant,
was signalled for aid, and one of the
cutters put off with the surgeon and
assistants. The wounded men were
taken to the hospital and their injuries
dressed. The dead were brought to
Pensacola.
Some claim the explosion was caused
by a defective shell, and others think
that the frequent firing of the pieces
at Culebra during the winter, added
to the work done here during the past
ten days, so strained the piece that the
force of the charge burst the gun.
