BOY FIGHTS OFF BURGLARS.
Brave Canadian Youth Exchanges
Shots with Bank Robbers.


For twenty minutes Ralph G. Young,
Is years old, exchanged shots with eight
bank robbers who tried to break into the
Traders bank of Bridgeburg, village
on the Canadian side of the Niagara
river, opposite Buffalo. The men tried
to break down the front door of the
bank and scores of shots were fired be-
fore the would-be robbers were fright
ened away. Before beginning the at
tack on the bank the robbers fastened
all the doors of nearby houses. Then
they secured a heavy timber and pro-
ceeded to batter in the front door of
the bank building. Young was the only
person in the bank when the robbers
opened their attack. Armed with a re-
volver, he went to an upper window and
opened fire upon the thieves. They re-
piled with reyolvers and shotguns, some
of the gang meantime continuing the
work with the gathering ram. With his
face streaming with blood from shatter
ed glass and spinters of wood caused
by the fusilladc from the street, Young
kept. up the fight.

Secretary Root Sharply RebuL1es the
American AnnexatiOnists.
The administration has dashed the
hopes of the little band of American col
Onists on the Isle Of Pines who have
been working toward the separation of
the island from Cuba and it's inclusion
in the United States. Secretary Root,
after consultation with the President,
made public the text of a letter which
he had addressed to Charles Raynard,
president Of the American Club of the
Isle of Pines, defining the attitude of the
United States government toward the
proposed formation of a territorial gov
eminent in the island as a part of the
United States. The Secretary was most
pointed in the statements in his letter,
saying; There is no procedure by which
you and your associates can lawfully
establish a territorial government in that
island. The island is lawfully subject
TO the control and government of the
republic of Cuba, and you and your asso-
ciates are bound to render obedience to
the laws of that country so long as you
remain in the island.'
