ROGERS FOUGHT THE SHERIFF.
wealthy Man OF Bald Mountain Reslsts
with Knife Service OF Warrant.

GLENs FALLS, N. Y, Aug. 2s.-Sheriff
Bert Austin Of Washington county was
wounded and had a narrow escape from
serious if not fatal injuries yesterday
while attempting to arrest James P. Rogers,
wealthy resident Of Bald Mountain. When
two lawyers and policeman attempted to
levy on Rogers's property on Wednesday
he stirred up a hive Of bees which made
an attack upon the three men and caused
them to beat a hasty retreat. They ap-
pealed to the Sheriff, and yesterday after
noon. accompanied by County Judge
Tisrney Of Troy and Policeman Quacken-
bush, he went to Bald Mountein.
Rogers saw the officers approaching and
prepared for a struggle. Sheriff Austin
went to the house. and. following Rogers
In, attempted to. serve the warrant.
Rogers made q slash at the Sheriff with a
pocketknife. which penetrated his coat
and vest, passed through a visiting card
and a cigar case Allied with cigars. and
entered the 6esh in the neighborhood Of the
heart. Had 1t not been for the cigar case
OF had the blade been little longer, there
is no doubt that Austin would have been
killed.
After hard struggle the Sheriff worsted
Rogers by holding his head In a pail Of
water for a few seconds, and then placed
pair OF twisters upon his wrists. Even
then Rogers fought hard. and Austin was
forced to break his thumb in order to se-
cure the knife. Rogers is a powerfully
built man about so years Of age and
landed his prisoner in the county jail.
Rogers is rated as being worth about
$50 900. The knife blade was three inches
In length and very sharp.

OFF TO Talk WfTH WOoDRUrF
Corey Says Low Can mum Again. but He's
Rich and May Not.

The members Of the executive committee
OF the Republican County Committee Of
Brooklyn started for the Adirondacks at
7:9O O'Clock last evening They are to be
the guests Of former Lieut. Gov. Timothy l..
Woodruff to-day and Sunday. Col Michael
j. Dady was not with the party, as he failed
to return from Havana in time. In case
he gets home to-day he will Immediately
join the party. The question of nomina-
tions to be made this fall will be thoroughly
discussed before the executive commit ee-
men return to Brooklyn.
Former Senator Michael j. Coifey, who
visited President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
on Thursday. in discussing the political
situation yesterday said;
Mayor Low Is a strong candidate, and
is entitled to a denomination IL he desires
1t, He is dangerous at any stage Of the
game, and nobody knows it better than
Tammany Hall and Willoughby Street.
Everything is being done by them to have
some other candidate selected. Some
how. am inclined TO the belief that Mayor
Low il not a candidate. He has had all
the honor there is in the place, and has
worked hard during his term Of office.
Another term would bring him no additional
honor As a man Of means, should think
he would be glad to get respite from
official life and take a vacation. As far
az can learn, all the fusion leaders are in
favor of his denomination, and it rests
with him whether or not he will be the candi-
date again. The taxpayers realize what
has been accomplished and recognize that
every dollar has been honestly expended.
Personally, I think Mayor Low can win
again. even by bigger majority than
before
