SUICIDE AT SEA.
Quartermaster Larrabee of the Ransom
3. Fuller Jumps Overheard.

Rockland, Me-, Sept. &c. w. Lar
steamer Ransom b. Fuller, running
between Bath and Boston, took passage
on the City of Bangor, Friday night, at
Boston bound for his home which is
in the vicinity of Bangor.
When the steamer was off the
Graves, about S45 p. M, Larrabee
rushed from the afterdeck and leaped
into the sea. John Lothrop of Port
land, who knew Larrabee, and was
standing with him, tried his best to
restrain him, but Lothrop's efforts
proved useless. The steamer was stop
ped as soon as possible and small boats
searched for an hour for some sign
of Larrabee, without success. The
steamer reached this port an hour late,
in consequence.
Bath, Me, Sept. 20.-Inquiry at the
Eastern Steamboat Company's Office in
this city failed to confirm the above
Dispatch Mr. Larrahee had been
quHrtermaster of the Ransom b. Fuller
all summer. This steamer made her
last "Trip, fflday, ana Is now tled up III
Boston. Whether or not Larrabee was
laid off at the time the steamer Went
off duty, is not known here. The conf
pany's officers here speak in highest
terms of Larrabee. HE was a young
man of great promise said one of the
officials at the Bath Office, land the
last man I should pick out for such 4
fate. 1 can't believe it. It's too bad.
l only hope the report is not true

SIX MASKED men
Hold Up Rock Island at Nc
Far|and.
BEAT TWO RAILROADERS
Rifle the Lunch Counter Draw
er and the Depot.

Mcfarland. Kan, Aug. 2S.-At 10 o'clock
this morning six masked men heavily
darme appeared at the Rock Island depot
and started to enter the office door. Con-
ductor Monnehan of freight train No.
As. which had just pulled in, and Night
Baggageman Charles Toler, saw them
and hurriedly attempted to block the door
but the robbers forced an entrance and
after taking their money and watches
beat the railroad men into insensibility.
They then riied the depot of it's con-
tents and going hurriedly TO the eating
house held up and took all the valuabIes
from a half dozen men on the platform
employed at the Round House and part
of the train crew. Passengers at the
lunch counter scurried up stairs and
blocked the entrance effectively. The
bandits then looted the eating house cash
register and silver ware, doing their work
in a. cool and collected fashion after the
manner of veterans. Then apparently as
a joke they marched and carried six of
the Rock Island employees including the
night hostler and bagga geman Toler and
locked them in a refrigerator car and
disappeared in an easterly direction.
During the thirty minutes of their pres
ence not q shot was red and only Nome
han and Toler injured.
Two hours after the robbers disappeared
Sheriff Frey had organized a posse, re-
leased the prisoners from the refrigerator
car and galloped in pursuit. The bandits
were headed towards Topeka.
The bandits secured eight watches and
probably $50 in money. They lefa Nc
Farland on foot. The night agent at
Paxico, four miles east of Mcfarland saw
them pass by along the tracks on foot at
2:30 o'clock.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon the report
comes from Paxico that Sheriff Frey
and Chief Custy of the Rock Island de-
tective force, aided by four county depu-
ties have the robbers located in a patch
of timber near Paxico.
Advices from Paxico at 2:3o this after
noon show the bandits eluded the posse
in pursuit and passed On through the
thick brush territory towards the Maple
Hill bridge where they evidently hope
to cross the Kaw river to the south side
and scatter.
The officers do not seem so anxious to
come up with the desperaGoes as they
might. At this hour they have returned
to the hotel at Paxico and are holding
a conference on the veranda. The officers
were on horseback and the bandits on
foot

CHAMPION AT TENNIS.
Doherty of England Adds Laureis to
Previous Honors.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 2S.-H. L. Doherty
of England today defeated w. A. Larned
of New Jersey. and to his title of cham
pion of England added that of champion
of the United States. The score was 60,
3d. 1913 in favor of Doherty and although
in the last set the American player made
a heroic stand he was worn out by the
Britisher and failed to hold him on the
18th game. BY defeating Darned today
Doherty completed the series which he
and his brother have made this season.
Between them they hold both singles and
the doubles championships of the United
States and England, as well as having
won the Davis international trophy with
out the assistance of any other player.
The two brothers hold unique posi-
ton in the history of the game, a position
that no others have ever approached.
Doherty won in straight sets, which is
a great deal of a surprise, though he had
been considered dangerous opponent for
Larned because of his two previous VIC
tories over the American champion His
style today had all the qualities that have
characterized him before. He was out
pointed by the American by the margin OF
Is in the total. but kept quietly at work,
reaching apparently impossible balls and
pulling himself out OF hard places.

CALLS 1T FORGERY.
j. w. Forney Declares He Never Sign
ed the Note.

Wellington, Kan, Aug. 2S-J. W. For
ney, one Of the defendants in the suit of
the Central National bank of Topeka,
to collect $1,000 from the Sumner-Shesr-
man Cattle company on a note signed by
Wilson as president. and alleged 70 have
been endorsed by Colonel Forney with
Wilson. filed a separate answer in dis
trict court today.
In the answer Colonel Forney declares
that he never wrote his name as endorser
on the note in question, and declares that
If his name appears on the note. it was
not written there by himself. or by his
authority, knowledge or consent He de-
clares il is a forgery.
The answer, to which alsdavit is made
as 70 its truthfulness. virtually charges
his son-in-law, Emera F. Wilson. with
forgery. There is no question that VII
son executed the note and received the
money for it, The note bears Wilson s
endorsement, and what is alleged to be
the signature Of Colonel Foruey If Col
onel Forney's declaration that his name
was forged to the note is sustained. there
is very little doubt that criminal pro
ceedings will be commenced against VIII
son.

GOOD SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
Teachers Would Have Kansas Educa-
tlonal Display Second to None.

tional Display Second to None.
Topeka. Aug. 2S.-The Kansas commits
sion to the st. Louis worlds fair will be
asked to make an appropriation of $780,
600 for an educational exhibit. The work
of collecting the exhibit will be under
taken by the Kansas State Teachers as
ISOLATION and it is desired to make the
display second to none at the exposition.
On Thursday Of next week the world
fair committee of the Teachers associa-
ton will hold meeting here to arrange
for a conference the following day with
the Kansas commission regarding the
exhibit
Kansas ought to have a good educa-
tional exhibit at the fair yesterday said
]. L. Dayhoff, State Superintendent Of
Public instruction, land this can not be
done with an appropriation of less than
$200 600. Arkansas. Illinois. Indiana, Ne
braska, Iowa and Missouri will all have
big exhibits at the fair and Kansas teach
ers feel that this state should not fall be-
hind.
1T is the sentiment of the association
that II enough money can not be secured
to make a good display II will be better
to make none at ALL We hope the Kan
sas commissioners will view the matter
as we do and make as liberal an appro-
priation as they are able to out of the
funds under their control"
