STORY OF MADAME Ts1LKA
It Is To Be Told by herself at Blooming
ton, Where She VIII Visit This
Summer.

bloomington, ILL.,, June 1T.-An the
world was interested in the story Of
Mime. TSilka and Mrs. Ellen Stone,
who were captured by the brigands in
Armenia and held prisoners until the
ransom money for their release was
contributed by the charitable people
of the United States. Nine. Tsilka is
coming here this summer. She recent
ly landed in the United States with her
babe, which was born while the two
women were in captivity.
Nine Tsilka is a native of Armenia,
but was educated in the United States
to become a missionary and speaks the
English language f1uently. She had
been assigned to the field with Mrs.
Stone when made prisoner. The story
of the birth of her babe with no one
but the rough brigands in the vicinity
excepting her fellow prisoner excited
the attention of the entire English
speaking race.

approach went down under the weight
of between $50 or 200 people. Six
persons were seriously. probably fatal
Iy, injured. Twenty-Five o. thirty 9th
ers were less Sc iously injured. The
names of the victims have not been
learned. The accident occurred dur
ing an illumination of the street car
nival booths along the main streets
of the city. Hundreds of people had
gone to the bridge to watch the illUm-
ination from this vantage point. Sud
denly a section of approach forty feet
in length sank.
The illumination was ended at cnce,
and every aid the city could give was
extended to the suffering. The sec
tion of the bridge which collapsed had
dropped its 200 sightseers twenty-five
feet into a bank of sand and debris,
on the river bank. For a half hour
the bank was a confused heap of wom-
en-. children and men. Some were
moaning with their arms or legs frac-
tured, or suffering with the pain or
serious or possibly fatal injuries. Those
who were less seriously injured and
those who were so fortunate as to es-
cape injury helped the police carry
away their unlucky friends.

st. Paul. June 17.-Gov. s. Il. Van
SAINT has added newspaper man to

press, he says, to give tone to the
group that dazzled Prince Henry. NJ.
j. Donnelly, sporting editor of lead
ing evening newspaper, is the new APP
pointee and because he is a graduate
of Annapolis the governor has decided
that nothing less than the rank of
brigadier general will do for him.
Mr.. Donnelly served in the navy six
years and for many fears past has
been well-known member of the
Twin City coteric.
In making the apHointment Gov.
Van SAINT said: In hll my expert

returned by the grand jury. Some eN-
pressed the opinion that the murder
cases will close in the same way, and
Jett and White will also be released.
And what might follow is the ques-
ton. 1t is evident that all in Breathitt
county are considering the question
most seriously, although few will open
ly discuss it.
1t is stated by those who will talk
even secretly on the matter that the
grand jury was composed of residents
of Breathitt county, drawn by those
who are identified with the dominant
faction, and all were connected with
it and that no indictments for any
thing were expected from jury drawn
in this county, but that the jurors in
the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas
White are from another county, and
for that reason 4 verdict of conviction
may be possible.
The defense has closed its case, one
of its strongest alibi witnesses being
County Judge Hargis, who is Jett's
uncle. Today the state will rebut.
