CRAZY MAN
CAUSES TROUBLE AT ALI.
ANCE HOSPITAL,
TOOK FIVE MEN TO HOLD
Spooner While He Was
In ParoxysmS.

Alliance, O., Aug. 15.-(Staff Special.)
Several officers Of the local police
force were called to the City hospital
Sunday evening 10 assist the nurses in
caring for a young man who had sud
denly become violent. 1t required five
men to hold the fellow at times as he
was totally out of his head caused by
the excessive use of liquor.
His name was given at Lysle Spoon
er and he stated that he had a wife re-
siding at 912 South Market street, Can
ton: but this statement as we'll as sew
eral others given by him were not veri-
fed, as an investigation revealed no
such number.
On last Thursday Spooner came to
the Office of Dr. c. l.. Morgan and stat
ed that he had been drinking excessive
ly and feared that he would collapse
DR.. Morgan noticed that he was in a
weakened condition and made arrange
ments to have him taken to the hos
pital. After being taken to that insti-
tuition he became worse and finally
went into delirium tremens. An effort
was made to give him chloroform, but
it was without avail. During some OF
his hysterical spells he would cry out
that someone was trying to kill him
with bricks made of currency. The
case was reported to Col. Stanton
Weaver, a township trustee, and In
firmary Director heese and these men
are taking up the case.
Today Spooner was somewhat better
and stated that his father resides al
204 Euclid avenue, Cleveland, but he
did not want his folks to learn of his
condition as they were highly respect,
ed citizens.
Further investigation is being made
by the officials and it is likely that he
will be removed in the near future tC
another location.

Japanese Legation.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 15.-The

ing from Toxic this afternoon:
Admiral Kamimura reports that at
dawn on the 14th the squadron under
his command discovered the three
vessels of the Vlad!vostok squadron
off Ulsan on the southeastern coast
of Korea. The Russian vessels were
steaming southwark at the time, and
on sighting the Japanese squadron
attempted to escape northward, which
the latter prevented, and fighting be-
gan at 5:23 a. N.

suffered heavily, especially the Rurik.
Eventually the enemy fed at full
speed, northward, leaving the Rurik
behind, which afterwards sunk.
Thereupon the whole Japanese squad.
ron started to the rescue of the drown

Up State DOG Story.

A pleasant little story about one Of
the canine residents of the town. It
seems that certain gentleman In the
town has a beautiful and intelligent
dog, who, in some way, missed his
master, and after making the rounds
of places in which he might be found,
finally went to the house where his
master was most likely to stop on
his way out to his home.
In the meantime the gentleman had
reached home, and missing his dog
telephoned back to the house where
the dog was patiently awaiting him.
On being informed that the dog was
there, he requested that the receiver
be placed to the dogs ear. This was
accordingly done, and when the ami
NAL recognized the familiar whistle,
he at first started and looked all
around, and then as the call was re-
peated he darted for the door, and
unhindered, made his way to his
home in the country.-Cazenovia IN,

RUSSIANS
DO MOT REALIZE THAT THEY
ARE LICKED.
WILL NEVER give UP
Even # They Sustain
More Reverses.

London, Aug 16.-Uondon Times.)
The Paris correspondent Of tho
Times states that according to auth
entic information that reached Paris
yesterday the continued discontinue
10 the Russian arms has not modified
The resolute determination In respon-
bible quarters to pursue the war to the
bitter end.
He continues: 'It has been said
that the Japanese might be prepared
10 consider such conditions of peace
rs would not involve the danger Of a
renewal of the war within compar-
Atively short time. There is good rea-
son to believe, however, that in St.
Petersburg there is less inclination
Than ever to entertain any idea Of a
termination of hostilities until Rus
sian prestige has been thoroughly re-
trieved.
There is still an immutable con-
viction in responsible Russian quar-
lers that in the end Russian arms
must be victorious, even should the
eventual fall of Port Arthur be follow
sd by other reverses. The opinion in
Russian government circles is that
the resources Of the empire for the
purposes Of war is practically mex
baustible, that Russia will find all the
money she requires to carry on hos
tilities for several years to come.
"The idea of mediation, which
might conceivably have been under
taken by France or Germany has
throughout the war been secuted BY
both belligerents. At the present mo
ment the chances of its being taker
into consideration by Russia are mucl
more remote than ever.

MINUTES
WAS ALL THAT A JURY RE.
QUlRED
TO FIND CATO GUILTY
Of the Murder of the
Hodges Family.

Savannah, Ca, Aug. 15.-After s
minutes deliberation jury at States
boro this evening pronounced Will
Cato, a negro, guilty of the murder OF
the Hodges family, six miles from that
place on July q last. To add to the
horror of the crime, the farm house
was fired following the murders and the
bodies Of Henry r. Hodges, his wife
and their ten-year-old daughter were
burned and two younger children per-
ished in the flames.
The entire countryside was frenzied
by the crimes, and race war of ex-
termination against the blacks was i'm
minent, threats of lynching being made
against dozens of negroes suspected of
knowledge Of the murders. Cato was
arrested, prima facie case against him
he wing been established, and two COM
panies of militia were detailed TO
guard the Bullock county jail.
Additional troops were sent to
StateStorO from here today under Gov
ornor Terrel's orders, TO assist In pre-
servig order during the trial.
While Cato was not sentenced to-
night, Statesboro is quiet and no lynch
ing is probable while the soldiers arc
present. Another negro, also accused
Of the crime, is to be tried tomorrow.

COAL OPERATORS
Say They Have Done All
They Can.

Scranton, Pa, Aug 15.-William l..
Connell, chairman of the conciliation
board, today made the following state
ment on behalf of the operators:
The operators representatives on
the board of conciliation did all in their
power to settle the check weighmen
controversy and have nothing more to
offer. We have submitted our last
proposition. At Wilkesbarre last Fri
day we went farther than we ought to
have done to restore harmony If pos
sible.
THE usefulness of the board depends
on the outcome of the check weighman
dispute. We cannot make any fur
ther concessions if we maintain the
dignity of the board. The board must
have some dignity and standing and
it's rules must be observed. We cannot
afford to give out the impression that
the board was created to satisfy the
every whim of its members"
