Phony Man Gets Beat by Barber,

Muncie Ind. Nov. 16.-Arthur Stout
cleverly beat a swindler at the latter's
own game and as a result of his feat
now has a $50 diamond that cost him
only SIS. A strange man pretending
to be hard pressed for money offered
to sell Stone a diamond for So and
said he would wait until Stone took
the stone to a jeweler to obtain the
latter's opinion of it.
A jeweler who was consulted told
Stout the diamond was worth $50 and
Stout agreed to buy it. The stranger
tried to Substitute a ''phony" diamond
for it but Stout detected the trick and
took both the real and the false dia-
monds. When caught the stranger
confessed that he made his living by
the graft and offered to buy back the
diamond for $40, but Stout refused.

to give three free lectures on the
temperance question. Mrs. Richards
services as a lecturer are in great
demand, having filled eighty Chau-

past summer. The enthusiasm
with which she is always received

GREEKS WANT ANARCHISTS
Secret Police Are Guarding the King
and Queen on a Visit TO
Rome.

Rome, Nov. 16.-Several members
of the Greek secret police have arrived
here to assist in protecting the king
and queen of Greece who are to ar
rive Nov. % on visit of four days to
King Victor Emmanuel. 1t is stated
that the Greek authorities havereceived
information that anarchists intend to
make an attempt on the life of Kin
George during his. visit to Italy, and
there is a disposition to connect the
bomb explosion outside the Cafe Arag-
no here Wednesday with anarchist ac-
tivity in this connection.
All the efforts of the police to dis
cover the identity of the man VINO eX-
plOded the bomb have been futile. 1t
appears that he dined at a restaurant
near the Cafe ArgnO, spoke with a
southern accent, was dressed in the
style of the emigrants who return
from the United States, paid his bill
witha J0-lire bank note, which had the
mark of Il Naples money changer on it,
and let it he seen that he had in his
pocketbook other 50-lire notes.
This leads to the suspicion that he
was an anarchist, that possibly he be-
longed to the same group which car.
rid out theassassination Of King Hum
bert, and that he came from the Unit
ed States to commit an outrage.

DEATH LIST LARGE.
Many Persons Killed Since Opening
of limiting Season.

Twenty dead and twenty-five in
jured is the record of casualties
since the general hunting season
opened in Wisconsin September LIST.
All these accidents are the result
directly or indirectly of the hunting
season. The season opened Sunday
and during the remainder of the
month it is feared that the death
list will greatly increase. Deer are
plentiful in the northern woods and
hunters more numerous than ever
before.
During 1905, beginning with Sep
tember 1st and closing with the end
of the deer season November 10th,
there were twenty six persons killed
and fifty-one injured in Wisconsin
and Upper Michigan. A movement
is afoot which may result in an
extension of the deer hunting sea-
son, but one of the strongest argu-
ments against the law is the
casualty list, as it is thought an
extension of the season would re-
suit in many more lives being
sacrificed.

NEW YORK CENTRAL CONVICTED
Declared Guilty of Giving Rebates to
the Sugar Trust.

the Sugar Trust.
River Railroad company has been con-
victed in the United States circuit
court of granting a rebate of $4,000
to the American Sugar Refining com
pany, and the trial of the latter COM
pany for having accepted that sum as
rebates began today in the same court.
The jury was out about two hours,
and Immediately upon the announce
nent of its verdict of guilty coun-
sci for the defendant company moved
to set aside the verdict, which Judge
Holt promptly denied.
When court met Joseph III. Choate,
counsel for the defendant company,
moved to dismiss the Indictment, and
upon its denial by Judge Holt entered
upon a long argument for the defense
He maintained that contracts made by
the defendant under the old interstate
commerce law. granting lower rates
than the regular schedule, and car
ried out subsequent to the passage of
the Elkins act, did not constitute 4
violation of that act; that the practice
of Relating. or granting lower rates,
was not looked upon as a criminal Of
Tense at that time. ChOate maintained
that there is no authority for 'cOn-
tinuing a criminal law as retroactive.
The law is void as an eXpost factO en-
actment."
In denying the motion Judge Holt
said he thought the Elkins act suff1-
GENTLY binding upon the accused, and
that there was sufficient evidence to
send the case to the jury. The words
'shall he'' in the law, Judge Holt held
did not relate to future transportation
alone. but to DETERMINATIONS that might
be or had been attempted to bring
about shipments at less than the tariff
or published schedule. Judge Holt
fixed Nov. 20 rs the date for argument
on motion to arrest judgment.
