PEELED the bandits and then charged
them, the bandits fleeing to the hills
an to three neighboring villages.

demanded the surrender of the ban
dts. The surrender was at first re-
fused, but fearing that the Russians
would destroy their homes, the villa
gers finally revealed the hiding places
Of the fugitives. The bandits fought
with the desperation of entrapped rats.
Fifty Of them were speared and killed

It Descends to Grandson of Ford,
Who QueiIed Baltimore Riot

ATLANTA, Ga, June 5.-John Nc
Kenna, of Atlanta, on his twenty
first birthday yesterday was present
ed by the attorney of his deceased
mother with medal that was given
to her by Abraham Lincoln when she
was a child.
Before her marriage Mrs. Sarah Nc
kenna was known as Katie Ford, and
her father was Captain Ford, of the
United States Army. in 1861 he was
called to quell a riot in Baltimore,
and as result of his method on that
occasion he was widely criticised. In
orer to explain his action, Captain
Ford called on President Lincoln,
taking with him his little daughter
Kate OF the child's conversation
with Lincoln this much is recalled
by the attorney, as he heard it from
the lips of Mrs. McKenna:
The President had listened to the
explanation of my father and prac-
tically indorsed his conduct during
the riot, stating, however, that he
could not officially indorse it on ac-
count of the state of the public mind
was indignant that my father
should be criticised and restraining
myself no longer broke in with this
remark:
81 only wish that l was a soldier
and l would shoot everybody who
said that what my father did was
wrong
''The President leaned over and
stroked my hair, smiling at me with
smile that was almost maternal in
its tenderness. He asked me to sit
on his lap This l did, because I
remember l was not in the least
afraid of him. He said he would like
to have an army of just such soldiers.
Two weeks later, messenger from
the White House brought to my home
the medal which was inscribed:
Ito Katie Ford, from Abraham
Lincoln"

PARKER AND FRANCIS, MAYBE.
Sheehan and Mack Confer With
Worlds Fair President.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-Will it be
Parker and Francis? William F.
Sheehan and Norman z. Mack, Of
New York. David R. Francis and the
Mayor Of st. Louis, Rolla Wells, held
a conference at a dinner in the New
York building yesterday and it was
reported that politics of national i'm
portance were discussed in an ami
mated way.
When Mr.. Sheehan left New York
two days ago it was publicly report
ed that he had started for ST. Louis on
political mission representing
Judge Parker. One rumor was that
he would sound Joseph w. Folk as to
his willingness TO serve as Vice
Presidential candidate with Judge
Parker.
Since the meeting the story is being
circulated in political circles that the
Worlds Fair president is the object
of Mr.. Sheehan's political solicitude
and that he is satisfied that the Mis-
souri, Democrat whose marvellous en-
ecutive ability Overcanae seemingly in
surmountable difficulties in bringing
TO perfection the greatest Worlds
Fair ever held, would be eminenty
satisfactory to the New York Democ-
racy.
