Burglary at South Paris.
Large Haul from the Store of r. A.
Shurtleff & Co.
ALSO ATTEMPTED THE STORE OF j. H.
BROOKS, BUT FOUND THE PROPRIETOR
IN, AND GOT AWAY SPEEDILY.

Apparently the gang of ore-breakers
which has been operating to the north
of US reached South Paris Wednesday
night. At any rate, that or some other
gang visited US, and made big raid on
the drug store of F. A. Shurtleff 6 Co.,
besides attempting the drug store of j.
Fl. Brooks, from which they were scared
awav.
Mr.. Brooks has for some time slept in
cabinet bed in the back room of his
store in Odd Fellows Block. At about
GAS Thursday morning Mr.. Brooks
heard some one attempting to tear off
the screen on the window, which was
the full size of the window and was
nailed on the outside. On this side of
the building the basement is entirely
above ground, so that this window is
ten or twelve feet from the ground.
Mr.. Brooks spoke but the man did not
hear. Mr.. Brooks then jumped out of
bed and went to the window, where he
faced the head and shoulders of the man,
who was standing on ladder and work
ing on the screen. Throwing the win
dow up Mr.. Brooks exclaimed, "Get out
of this or I'll blow your head off," The
man jumped to the ground, and another
man, who had been standing on the
ground near the building, came out into
view, and both ran out on to High Street,
one of them saying as they ran, Don't
shoot too quick"' Although it was rain
ing at the time, the moon being nearly
full it was so light that the men could
be distinctly seen.
Mr. Brooks Immediately went to the
telephone and called up Jailer Farrar,
getting him at once, and told him what
was up. Mr.. Farrar came down as soon
as possible. Meanwhile Mr.. Brooks
kept watch of the square, but saw no
one.
Two freight trains were at the station,
and Farrar and Brooks went and made
thorough search of them. In box car
in one of them were found five tramps,
but on being lined up they were found,
to be dry as to both clothes and shoes,
and as it was raining and muddy, it was
evident that they were not the men
wanted.
On going back to Brooks store they
found the ladder (which was the ice
ladder belonging to Shnrtleff 4 Coz
standing under the window, and on the
ground chisel and hat which the
men had dropped. MIR. Brooks had al
ready described the two men to Mr..
Farrar as being rather short and stout
and wearing SLOUGH hats, and the hat
which was found bore out the descrip-
ton fully. The hat is a small sized
black felt, and bears the name of dealer
in Covington, Ky.

sberiffs and detectives are working

Sheriffs and detectives are working
upon the case, and reward of 500 has
been advertised for the apprehension OF
the burglars and the recovery of the
goods. 1t must be admitted that clues
are exceedingly vague. Two men who
were about the village on Wednesday
were spotted by several people as sus-
picious looking characters, and they
answer the description which Mr..
Brooks gives of the men he saw behind
the block. Some time Wednesday one
of the men boughta can of beans at w.
A. Porter's, and the other bought two
loaves of bread at W. L. Farrar's, both
paying for their purchases eutirelv in
coppers. Late in the afternoon they
were seen near A. E. Shurtleff's grain
mill, and Mr.. Shurtleff and R. N. Hall
discussed them as not likely to benefit
the place by their presence. Some OF the
people who saw these men are confident
they should recognize them, but further
than that there seems to be little to
work on,

Grand Rapids, Mich, July 7.-Sheriff

holding $50 Italian railroad laborers
prisoners in seven box cars in which
they have been living on q siding Of
the Grand Trunk railway at Saddle

The Italians swarmed out Of their
ears and attacked the officers, who
fred several yolleys into the air from

THE RUSSIAN REVOLT
IS RAPIDLY SPREADING
NEWS FROM THE cRIMEAN PEN.
lNSULA OF AN EXTREMELY
r+' ALARMING NATURE.
TROOPS ARE UNABLE TO COPE
WITH THE REBELS IN THE
" &c.,. CAUCASUS.

1t. Petersburg, July 7.-Such news
as came from the Black sea and eau
casus during the day was extremely
alarming. The whole Crimean PENN
sula is on the verge of revolt and an
archy reigns in the mountains of the
Caucasus from Batoum to Baku. Only
brief details are available on account
of the rigid censorship established by
Admiral Chouknin, commander of the
Black sea fleet. Even foreign embas-
sies having consu2S at Theodosia, Cri-
mea, have not received any word. At
Theodosia the workmen are backing
the mutineers, the crews of several
ships in the harbor have joined the
mutineers and the wellsto-do class of
the population has fled in, panic. The
guns Of the Kniaz Potemkine are
trained on the city, presumably be-
cause the authorities could not or
would not furnish the Kniaz Potem-
kline with coal, and bombardment is
momentarify expected.
Only six hours away on the other
side of the peninsula Admiral Chouk-
Minis fleet, which includes six war
ships, not counting Rear Admiral Kru-
gers squadron, lies at anchor under
the menace Of the guns Of the fortress.
Chouknin evidently Is afraid to test
the loyalty of his crews by setting
them the task of capturing the mu-
tineers' ship.
According to reports current in St..
Petersburg four torpedo boats with
volunteer crews on board have sailed
for Theodosia to sink the Kniaz Po-
tsmkine, but the reports lack confirma-
tion and must be accepted with re-
serve.
kilograms from the Caucasus,
where a state bordering on anarchy
has existed for month, say the news
Of the mutiny on board the Kniaz Po-
temkine made an electric impression
and was the signal for general move
ment, with which troops and police
are absolutely powerless to cope. Rail-
road traffic in all directions has ceased
and the people are fleeing on horse
back and all kinds of vehicles over the
mountain roads and trains.
Almost CONSERVATION prevails in
official circles here.

POOR EYEsIoHT AND HEARING
Sixty Thousand Minnesota School Chill
dren Defective.

Sixty Thousand Minnesota School Chill.
dren Defective.
st. Paul. July Fully 10000 pupils
Of the Minnesota public schools are
suffering from defective eyesight and
not less than 10000 are afflicted with
defective hearing. This Is considered
a conservative estimate, based on the
record Of the first years inspection of
the eyes and ears of the school chill
dren which has been carried on by the
state board of health, assisted by the
state superintendent of public instruc.
ton and the school authorities
throughout the state.
What is still more significant the
parents of very few of these pupils
are taking any apparent precautions
against greater defects and possibly
loss of eyesight. OF 3,141 reported as
having defective eyesight only 319,
about 10 per cent, are wearing glasses.
When it is considered that poor eye
sight and hearing frequently lead to
more serious disease of various kinds
the situation may be said to be serious.

MANY DEAD AND INJURED
OBSTRUCTIVE TORNADO SWEEPS
OVER MONTAGUE COUNTY,
IN NORTHERN TEXAS.

Fort Worth, Tex, July THE lat
est reports from Montague county,
which was partially swept by a tor
nado, give the number of dead as
thirty-hve. The tornado started four
miles west of Nocona and moved in a
southeasterly direction through a
thickly settled farming community.
The distance traversed was about if
teen miles. The only town directly in
the path of the storm was Montague.
Among the buildings destroyed in Mon
tague was the Methodist, Catholic
and Christian churches and the court
house. No one was killed or injured
In Montague so far as known. Heavy
rain and hail accompanied the storm.
The list Of injured is being largely
augmented by later reports. The prop
erty loss is estimated at more than
100000.
Fourteen Dead at Nocona.
Dallas. Tex, July 7.-Advices from
Montague county, in the northern part
Of the state, indicate that the tornado
which swept over that section late
Wednesday was very destructive. The
larger towns apparently escaped the
violence Of the storm, but country res
licences and farmhouses suffered Sc
verely. :
A dispatch from Nocona says four
teen persons we're killed and many
injured in that town and vicinity. A
revised list of the dead follows:
Mrs. c. G. Shackleford. Miss Tinnie
Shackleford, Mrs. S. L. Tnmleson,
three children Of Mrs. Tumleson. Mrs.
Mary Lester, four children Of Mrs. Les

American BIuejackets March Through
Streets of Paris.

Paris, July THE unusual sight of
q detachment of United States sailors
and marines swinging through the CEN
trail thoroughfares Of Paris aroused
great interest and brought out an en-
thusiastic ovation from the crowds
along the line of march. The Amer
lean naval contingent, which numbered
500 men with 25 officers. left Cher
bourg in two special trains at a. NJ,
arriving at the Invalides railroad sta
ton at II: 40 a m. A company Of
French infantry was drawn up 'front.'
ing the station to receive the Amer
leans. The latter formed in battalion
and unfurled the American Tag and
naval ensign. At the same moment
the French troops came to the salute.
the French standard was dipped, the
French band struck up the Star
Spangled Banner" and the great
crowds which had surged across the
Alexander bridge shouted "Vive les
Americans" give la France" the en-
tire multitude uncovering respectfully
while the American anthem was
played. Another outburst of enthu-
siasm greeted the "Marseillaise," and
then the French escort took up the
line of march across the Esplanade Of
the Invalides to the Avenue PiQuet
and thence to the military school. All
along the route the streets were lined
with dense crowds eager to see the
Americans. They were received at
the military school by battalion Of
French troops drawn up in the great
court. Again the national anthems
were played and salutes were ex-
changed. The Americans were then
taken within the military school,
