 It is a great pity that the trolley |, s~. T<5 win street matter, even to the extent of consenting to lay it's tracks few hundred feet south of Washington street, so that the macadamizihg of that street could be continued as far as the appropriation holds out. There is money enough to do the job to a point about opposite MT Horanss grocery store, but the city will not go beyond Washington street unless the body can blame the officials for this. It would be folly to go to the expense of surface hardening the street now and having 1t ripped to pieces next spring. Why don't the trolley exten- sion committee take hold of this snarl and strafghten 1t out? They claim the company always meant to be fair. If this is so the city must be in error now as well as on all other occasions.

KIDNAPPED.
Five Deported Miners Who Re-
turned to Victor
Taken from Sheriff's Deputies
by Masked Men.
BEING REMOVED.
Had Started to Es-
cOrt Them Out of Town.
Searching Parties Have Failed
to Ascertain Their Fate.

Victor. Col, July 7.-Considerable
anxiety is felt here for the safety of
five men who We're deported from this
district by the military but have re-
turned within the last week. The men
were placed under arrest by the civil
authorities as soon as it was learned
that they had def1ed the order given
them at the time of their deportation.
They were kept under guard at a hotel
until last night when two deputies
started presumably to escort them out
of the camp. At a point west of the
city near the Santa Rita mine the dep
uties were suddenly confronted by half
a dozen masked men who We're heavily
armed. The prisoners were taken from
the deputies, as also were their guns,
and they We're ordered to return to
town. This order they obeyed. A short
distance from the point where the
masked men first appeared the depu-
ties saw a large band of masked men,
numbering they estimate at least so.
Immediately upon returning to the city
the deputies told the sheriff's office and
the military headquarters of their ex-
perience. Details of troops were sent
out to search for the mob and the kid
naped men. and Sheriff Edward Bell al
so led a posse in pursuit. All pursuing
parties returned to the city after sew
eral hours fruitless search.
The hunt was resumed at daylight b.
the military.

PARKER IN ASTORM.
Probable Democrat Nominee Has an
Exciting Experience.

New York, July Near his farm
at Esopus, N. Y, Judge Alton B. Par
ker, who, it is expected, will be nomt-
mated for president by the Democratic
convention, has had an exciting horse
back ride in the thick of a thunder
storm. He had gone for his daily
jaunt and was some miles from home
in the heart of a dense woods when
the storm broke. Lightning played
about among the big trees and the
wind blew gale, tearing off many
dead limbs. Finally the rain fell in
torrents, but the judge could find no
shelter land was compelled to spur
on through the storm to his home,
where he arrived drenched to the skin.
To complete the job he donned a
bathing suit after the storm passed
and took a swim in the Hudson.

trude Dick 1925 Tyler street, had it not
been for the presence of mind of Ben
Johnson, employee of the state treas
urer's office, occurred at the corner of
Tenth and Topeka avenues Tuesday night
at about o'clock.
Miss Dick had just returned to Topeka
on the night train and there being no cars
in service she decided to walk home. On
reaching Tenth and Topeka avenues she
was stopped by a miniature lake. The
sewer on that corner had become stopped
up and the heavy rain which fell short
time before had caused a body of water
to form around Rosser's drug store to
the depth of about four feet Instead OF
taking another route. however. Miss Dick
at empted to wade through On account
of the water covering the pavement and
even the parking she was unable to see
where she was going and slipped Off the
culvert into the deep water. In doing so
she sprained her ankle and was the
point of fainting when she was discovered
by Ben Johnson, who at that moment
stepped out of the drug store on his way
home.
After some difficulty he succeeded in
getting her on to dry ground and she was
then carried into the drug store and re-
suscitated.
Miss Dick is a teacher in the manual
training school. She is now at her home
at 1125 Tyler street and beyond the injury
to her foot. nothing serious has resulted
from her experience. Her escape, how
ever, was narrow one.

ing to keep Mr.. Parker from getting a
two-thirds vote, but this statement was
received with some credulity by the

dence that Tammany will keep very quiet
and make no move either to support by
word, as they must support by vote, the
ator Hill is so confident of victory that
he is talking over the second man on the
ticket. Senator Smith of New Jersey. is
quoted as saying that he had received
telegram from Mr.. Cleveland declining
positively to have his name presenter and
that Parker was therefore their second
choice. No positive confirmation, howev-
err was to be had of the receipt of such
a message. 1t is said, and interviews will

tested at length, the convention may pro

why we should not go on and nominate.

JUST A FAMILY ROW.
Lux and Adair Troubles Aired in
Police Court.

Because the children Of the Lux, and
Chandler Streets, had the playful habit of
throwing water and slop at each other
over the back yard fence. the parents
started a feud of words and hauled each
other before the police court. Mrs. Adair
took care of her share of the dispute,
while the LUX end was looked after by
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Lux and daughter
Jane. The parties in the back yard trou-
BILE managed to get away with a number
of words between them and the conversa-
ton of slurs and inuendoes was repeated
for the edifica ton of the hangers-on at
the police station this morning.
Lux and Mrs. Adair called up for dis
turbing the peace on the 9th of june,
when most of the heavy cannonading was
heard in that neighborhood Mrs. Adair
was accused by Lux of having called his
daughter a naughty name, while Mrs
Adair stated that Jane LUX had said to
her that she had never ridden down to
the police station in a patrol wagon, as
some other people.
The said remark was supposedly aimed
as a reflection upon Mrs. Adair. There
was not much to choose from in the evil
dence and Judge Hamilton dismissed the
case without assessing anything against
Mrs. Adair, who was named in the COM
Dlaint
