SHOT AS HE 'PHONED BRIDE
Wife Heard Shrek and Sound
Made by Corpse Falling.

William B. Rucker was shot dead as
he stood at a telephone in Louisville,
KY, talking to his wife. He had called
up his wife at her home, about ten
squares from his Office. AS the shot
rang out she heard his shrek and
then the sound of his body as it fell to
the floor, overturning a chair.
Mrs. Rucker, running at full speed
through the streets in the busy part of
the day, reached the little office where
in lay her dead usband almost as
soon as did the occupants of other of

fees being on the first floor and next

How the Great CandorS Are Caught.

Anyone who has ever watched a
heavy bird rise from the ground has
doubtless noticed thai it runs along
the ground for few feet before it
rises. The bird must acquire some
momentum before its wings can lift its
heavy body into the air. The natives
in certain parts of the Andes under
stand this fact very well and by means
of it catch the great Andean vultures,
the cOndors. A small space is shut in
with high fence aud loft open at the
top. Then lamb or q piece of car
rion is placed on the ground inside.
Presently a vultue sees the bait and
swoops down upon it, but when once
be finds he has alighted on the ground
inside he cannot get out, for he has no
running space in which to acquire the
momentum that is necessary before
his wings can lift him.

A HUNT FOR WHITE PAGERS
Concerted Plan of Utah Ranch
men to Capture Horses.

The strangest of all equine bands
the white PAGERS" of the southern
range. are doomed to captivity or ex-
termination, according to Salt Lake
dispatch. The ranchmen of southern
Utah, western Nevada and a strip OF
Arizona have passed sentence on TINS
remarkable aggregation Of hundred
wild horses that for seven years have
Knocked every effort at capture
The stockmen of the border country
engaged a few weeks ago in a wild
horse hunt, a raid on the wild mus
tangs that have become a pest of the
range. Many animals were killed, but
the white PAGERS" were not met. Even
if the opportunity had presented itself
no attempt to kill them would have
been made.
The rancLmen have for years cher
lshed the hope of some day capturing
some of the beautiful animals, and so
none have ever been shot Individual
attempts to take them, however, have
always failed, and now an organized
and determined effort is in project
Plans have been made with full
knowledge of the habits of the quarry
and the nature Of the country and IL
is hoped that a dozen or more Of the
coveted equines will be taken. If nee
essary, several Of the horses will be
killed to make the work of capturing
the others easier.
The much desired animals are OF
magnificent build. They are all white
and have long names and tails OF the
same color. In speed they easily out
strip the ranch horses. a strange fea-
t1lre is that the animals are all PAGERS.
Very seldom have they been known to
break into a run and then only for
short distance, soon relapsing into the
long, swift stride that appears to be
their natural gait The ranchmen be-
l!eve that some Of these animals can
be trained to become great race horses.
A great stallion, of splendid proper
lions, is the leader of this equine fam
lily. At the head of the band this stall
lion has led his followers in wild dash
es over hills when pursued by the
ranchers, and the pace was so rapid
that the hunters were soon compelled
to desist. These horses are reported to
be ranging along the Colorado river.
In the summer they come up into
Utah.
1t is planned to effect their capture
by having several parties act in con
cert and drive the horses into a trap,
probably into a box canyon.

T. w. Hunt, the white man who has

here were notified that Hunt was
wanted at Leesburg upon the charge
Of cheating and swindling, and war

STARTLING FIGURES
OF BATTLE LOSSES
GRINNELL LIGHT,
But IS HOPEFUL
Plucky Iowa Team Hopes to Hold
Down the Score
Today.

Minnesota expects to run up a
large score against the Grinnell eleven
at Northrop field this afternoon, altho
the field is somewhat slow from the wet
weather of the week. Grinnell has
fast eleven and it is said to be a nervy
bunch, but Nebraska scored 46 against
the brave Iowans and Minnesota should
do better in view of their Wanted SUI
periority over the cornhuskers. e.
The presence of Thorpe and Burdick
should help the gophers in accommodating
a big score, as both men are consistent
ground gamers. Grinnell naturally ex-
poets a beating and will be completely
satisfied if it can hold the score below
the record of last year, which was 46
to @.
Said G. E. Fisher, coach and manager
Of the Grinnell team, at the Brunswick
