Shooting ARRAY at
Bloomfield.

About 10 o'clock Thursday night,
March 81, Charles Lyons was shot aud
killed at Bloomfield. Ii is said the
shooting is the result of feud that has
existed for long time. The men cot
cerned in the ARRAY had been at work
in the woods all winter, and came out
that day. The story told by FRANK
Lyons, brother of the murdered man.
is to the effect that he aud his brother
we're in their home when their attention
was attracted by the noise of what aP-
peared to be a quarrel in the road
They went outside Immediately and two
men whom they declared to Ice the
Bronson brothers, opened fire upon
them, one with rifle, the other with a
shotgun. After several shots had been
fired, Charles Lyons fell mortally
wounded and quickly died. On the
other hand the Bronson boys say they
were in their own house when they were
disturbed by the shooting of a man in
the road. They went to the door aud
Charles Lyons challenged them to come
out and fight. Then he opened fire
with revolver and one of the bullets
passed close by Edison Bronson's head
Then Reuben Bronson stepped back into
the house, took down his shot gun and
fired one charge into the darkness. The
brothers claim they did not know any
one had been hit by their fire.
Soon after the shooting, the two
brothers, Reuben and Edison Bronson,
were arrested charged with the crime
A hearing was held before Justice j. II,
Beattie Friday and Saturday, III. w
Lund, states attorney, appearing Tor the
state, and Harry b. Amey of Island
Pond for the respondents. Friday when
: charged with the crime the respondents
! acting on the advice of their counsel, re.
J fused to plead, and plea of not guilty
} was entered. Several witnesses were ex
amined, including DR.. Evans, undertaken
Hutchins, Moses King, the camp boss
after which the hearing was adjourned
until Saturday. Upon resuming the
case Saturday morning the brother o.
the man killed gave his evidence, assert
: ing that Reuben raised and levelled hi
gun and fired directly at Charles, anC
: "my brother fell dead across my feet,
said the witness. This concluded tn,
e case for the state, and court adjourne,
t for dinner. In the afternoon the de
e fence put in its testimony. Seyera
a witnesses were examined, their test
mony indicating self defence, and upor
0 conclusion there being no evidence t.
i implicate Edison Bronson he was dis
e charged. The other brother, Reuben
was held for the grand jury, and com
a mitted to the Jail at Guildhall.
: The stories of the killing as told b,
= his brother and by the Bronson brothers
$ accused of his Staying, are so widely di
y vergent that nothing short of the mos
S searching inquiry will reveal the truth.
e According to the contention of tn
II state, foreshadowed in the hearing
Lyons was killed while defenceless b.
II one or both of the Bronsons. Tn
d defence proposes to show that the Bror
y sons were the parties attacked, and tina
/ they fired but one shot, that admitted
IS a fatal one, in response to fusilade O
= bullets fired by the man now dead.

The "War with the Martians" few
years ago was of much more interes,
than that now being played in the fal
East. Seemingly one is afraid and the
other s"das'ent'. But the correspond
ents are not bashful about keeping the
people of all climes well keyed up to a
high pitch of expectancy. If the Japs
would just blow up the Siberian Rail
road, or the Russians waylay and destroy
the japanese fleet it would break the
monotony of the occasion.

.FLAVORS ARE IMPURE
Many AduIterated Extracts
-ctI1 70
Said to Be On Market.

The state dairy and food department
Is preparing to undertake q crusade
against adulterated havoring extracts.
with which the market Is said to be
crowded. AS soon as Commissioner
Mcconnell returns from ST. Louis he
will issue instructions to the inspectors
to bring in samples of extracts for
analysis. ~
The commissioners have been so
busy attending to 5spurious products of
other kinds that they have been I'M
able to direct their attention towards
fiavoring extracts, They declare that
because they have not had time to en-
force, as far as extracts were con-
cerned, the pure food law that went
into effect last July, manufacturers
and dealers have thought themselves
exempt and have been continuing to
put out the same quality of goods that
they did before the law became opera
tive.
There is a large amount of adul-
terated flavoring matter upon the mar
ket at present. said one of the COM
missioners yesterday. "and we will
have to use the. same methods with
regard to extracts as we have with
other products We viii insist that all
adulterated extracts shall be labeled as
required by law. There are a great
many substitutes used by manufacture
ers which are not harmful and are not
prohibited by law. but where they are
used in favoEing preparations they
m4st be specified in the labels"

M|NNESOTAN is
MADE SECRETAR
Methodist General Conference
Elects Rev. j. 3. HinaIey
On Third Ballot.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 4.-The
absence of many delegates at the open
Ing session of the thirty-first general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church due to belated trains disturbed
the programme and the first days
work ended with nothing accomplished
except the selection of a conference
secretary This homer fell to Rev.
James B. Hingley, of the Minnesota
conference, and it required three bal
lots to make a choice.
Tonight at s o'clock the reception of
the general conference by the citizens
and churchmen of Los Angeles was
held at the auditorium. Addresses OF
welcome by representatives of the
state, city and church in Southern Call
ifornia, and responses by prominent
leaders in Methodism, made up the
programme.
Business lnaugurated.
Bishop Merrill called the conference
to order at the morning session, and in
troduced Bishop J. c. Hartzen, Of At
RIGA, who delivered the opening prayer.
He was followed by Bishop w. D. War
rem and Rev. DR.. D. VIC. Hewington,
D. D., of Nebraska university, who also
delivered a prayer. An hour was then
given over to musical service.
There was some little annoyance
and delay experienced in securing hotel
quarters for a part of the colored dele
cation. Two of the prominent hotels
refused to admit them and at another
hostelry they were assigned to a sep
arate dining room. This was distaste-
full to the colored churchmen and they
sought other, quarters. All, however,
were eventually comfortably housed.
Among the delegates were % women,
70 colored men and native Chinese,
the latter being LO Chi Ming and Ding
Miang Ing. The former of these two
Orientals is the first delegate ever sent
to the conference from North China
Bishop Edward G. Andrews presided
at the afternoon session, and the Sec
rotary of the general conference, DR..
G. Y. Munroe, of the Central Pennsyl-
vania conference, called the roll Of del
egates and asked that his successor be
chosen.
BaIloting for Secretary.
The following names were put before
the conference:
DR.. James B. Hingley, Minnesota;
DR.. Stephen E. Benton, of the New
England conference; E. c. Mills, DR.. c..
Townsend, of the Northern New York
conference, and DR.. E. w. Lane.
Three ballots were taken before DR..
Hingley was selected, the first ballot
giving him LAG, the second 245 and the
third 541 votes.
The subject Of the conference work,
which was brought before the confer
ence on a motion by Rev. J. H. Brush
ingham, of the Rock River conference,
stirred up lively debate. Rev. Brush
ingham's motion was for a committee
on deaconesses' work, composed of fifty
members, one-half ministers and one
half laymen, three to be appointed by
each of the fourteen district confer
ences and the remainder by the bish-
ops. This was amended by Rev. DR..
Hughes, of st. Louis, so as to give the
bishops power to appoint the entire
membership on the committee. The
Hughes substitute was carried and
the committee will be appointed by
the bishops M rs

GEN. KASHTALINSKY
DESCRIBES HIS DEFEAT
Official Report on "the Grievous Vet
Glorious Battle" of May 1.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 4.-The
emperor today received a dispatch from
Gen. Kuropatl1in giving the report of
Gen. KaShtalinsky Of the battle of May
], which the latter calls "the grievous
yet glorious battle fought by the troops
under my command with the superior
forces of the Japanese" He says:
Early on the morning of April 80 the
Japanese began to Cypress our left flank,
having on the previous evening occupied
the Khussan heights after an attack in
consequence of which l ordered the
Twenty second regiment, which had oc-
cupfed Khussan, to retire across the All
river to our position at Potietinsky On
the morning Of the same day an extraor-
dinarily prolonged and violent lombard
ment of our whole position at Kiu Lien
Cheng commenced from Wi-ju. / foresaw
that the Japanese after the bombardment
In which over 1900 projectiles were dis
charged, would take the offensive.
| received orders from Lieut. Gen. Zas-
Salitch to accept battle and to retain my
position at the forts of Potietinsky Ny
t re ma IahK was defended by two battalions
OF the Th1rty-second regiment and the
Third battery of the Sixth brigade The
japanese took the offensive at O'Clock
In the morning, dispatching at least one
division OF infantry, which, advancing in
column, sustained enormous losses but
crossed the ford and attacked our position
which was exposed to the fire of thirty
six field guns and siege batteries
The Japanese advanced and occllpied the
position. Toward noon 1 ascertained that
the Japanese had routed the battalion of
tne twenty second regiment posted at
Chin Cow and were turning my left flank
AT o'clock in the afternoon my left flank
was reinforced by two battalions Of the
Eleventh regiment and a battery com
manded by Lieut.. Col. Moravsky, which
We're sent from the reserve by Gen Zas-
salitch with orders to hold their ground
until the departure of the Ninth and Tenth
regiments from Sakhodza. 1 ordered the
Eleventh regiment to occunv q conn1a13
ing position in the rear from which thew
gould hre on the enemy from two sides
neld Lieut.. Col. Moravsky's battery in
reserve and ordered the Twelfth regiment
tne Third battery and the quick firing
guns TO retire under cover of the Eleventh
regiment. My chief of staff led the rear
guard to it's position 4oSA
AT l o'clock the Japanese anproa cbad
SO close to the position held by the Flev-
enth regiment that the Third hatterv
could not pass along under the crossfire.

CLAIM THAT ANES
WAS BANBOOzLFD
Genial Doctors Lawyers De.
clare That He Was Made
Drunk While Mayor.

Was former Mayor Ames the victim Of
gang Of mendacious conspirators com
poSeo OF men whom he had installed in
ohclal positions and who shamelessIv
violated the confidence reposed in them bv
making him drunk when occasion offered.
and at times going to the length of drug
glng him in order that his presence about
the city hall would not interfere with
their graft operations?
More specifically, did Irwin A. Gardiner,
Thomas Z. Brown and one or two more
trusted men exhaust their ingenuity in
schemes to keep the mayor away from
his office, to induce him to drink LIQUOR
and TO bamboozle him when under the
influence of whisky or drugs that they
which was being played?
however relevant the grounds for such
behef, 1t is what the defense in the
trial of DR.. A A. Ames will attempt to
establish beyond question. With the effect
OF Such conspiracy proven, the defend
ant attorneys say they will be able to ex-
pam every Irregular action on the part
OF the genial doctor during his incum-
bency of the mayors office.
Ihere are any number of persons ready
70 testify that DR.. Ames was not him
sen during his fourth term; that his
memory utterly failed him upon vital
things OF which man in his right senses
must have had knowledge, and that he
Stumbled through the routine duties of
AAlS OAlSC with llO cI6dr comprehension OF
what he was doing. Many of his best
friends will assert that the Dr. Ames of
old, was never in the mayors office, but
instead. worn out, weak old man, sur
rounded by rapacious gang that work
ed him in every possible way
1t is generally believed, among the
knowing, that the famous list of police
department appointments, which had the
mayors approval, was switched for an
other containing the names of irrespon-
sible nobodies whom the mayor never
heard of, but who secured their places
through working understanding" with
the gang.
The insanity plea which figured in a
Watery way in the last trial will not be
put forward in this. The doctors quar-
tette of lawyers say they are in pos
session of new evidence, ;" but it is more
than likely they wsll confine themselves
to the conspiracy charge and to attacking
the character of the states witnesses.
The selection of jurors without regard
to their expressed bias went meTrilv
declared that he would certainly do an
injustice to one side because of his strong
prejudice in the case was compelled to
take his seat In the jury box. Nine iu-
rors have thus far been secured.

FULLERTON WINS FROM

Logs Are Held TIL the Collection of Pike
Spawn Is Finished.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, May 4.-Executive
Agent Sam Fullerton, of the state game
and fish commission, has won his point in
his fight with the Tower Lumber COM
pany to prevent that concern from in
terfering with the collection of pike spawn
from the Pike river. After the dismissal
of an order for an injunction, the big jam
was broken and four million feet of pine
logs are on their way out of Vermilion
lake and down the river to the mills
Mr.. Fullerton formerly had an agree
ment with the company that it would
not begin forwarding logs until he had
collected the desired amount of eggs, but
when he went to the scene he found that
preparations were already under way to
break the jam. He induced the foreman
of the gang to wait for twenty-four hours
ana during that time the game warden
secured restraining order from Judge
Dibell. This was. made returnable on
Tuesday and in the meantime the COL
lection Of spawn was pushed with all
possible speed. When it had been COM
pleted the order was dismissed.
Employees of the state game and fish
commission will be employed in this@lo-
caIity for the next ten days in collecting
spawn which will be used to stock up
the various hatcheries and eventually
transferred to the lakes in Minnesota.
