Milton, Ind, January l0.--The
mystery surrounding the death of
Joseph Lucy seems TO be no nearer
a solution than when he was found
several weeks ago lying in his own
blood and interest in the ease has
lessened. The theory of accidental
death has not been accepted by the
residents in this vicinity though there
may be few who give credit to such
supposition. Most people believe
that a murder was committed with
view to robbery and although all
clues prove fruitless the authorities
are still Of that opinion.
Crowds of the curious have visited
his late home, building theories con-
cerning where different parts of the
tragedy were enacted.
A man in Salt Lake City. Utah,
by the name of Lucy has written to
the Milton authorities asking for
particulars of the tragedy and of the
man. He thinks lie is a nephew Of
the deceased.

STEER STaMPEDEs
RUNS AMUCK ONTO G. C. 81 L.
RAILROAD BRIDGE.
Entire Herd Follows Suit But Only
The Big Fellow Gets in Trouble
Exciting Time.
Exciting Time.

A herd Of cattle belonging TO a far
mer named Gilbert, living northwest
Of this city tried to escape the butch
er's hands Monday by stampeding
across the c. c. e. L. railroad bridge
below the Gaar, Scott g. Co. factory.
The steers were driven In from the
Gilbert fafrm Monday morning and
after crossing the old covered bridge
over the Whitewater, opposite the
Nixon Paper Co. Mills, the herd went
"loco' and charged up the steep
embankment to the c. c. & L. tracks,
where they turned north and started
for the railroad bridge.
All the animals came to stop af-
ter going out a few feet on the
bridge with the exception of one big
steer who picked his way across the
treacherous ties with the agility of
mountain goat until he reached the
middle of the bridge when he made
misstep and both of his fore legs
went through the space between two
ties. A large number of railroad
men armed with boards, ropes and
such had strenuous half hours
work before the frightened steer was
rescued from his dilemma.

FREIGHT SYSTEM
INAUGURA1TED I
TRACTION LINES OF INDIANA
AND OHIO AGREE TO IN
TERcHANGE FREIGHT.
A DECIDED INNOVATION
Tariff Guide to Be Issued Within
Week -1100 Miles of Road In
Agreement.
A DECIDED INNOVATION

c. O. Baker, general freight and
claim agent of the Dayton & West
ern while in Richmond yesterday an
nounced that the interchangeable
freight system to be inaugurated on
most of the traction lines of Indiana
and Ohio will soon be put into effect.
The tariff guide is now in the hands
of the printers and will be issued
within week.
This system which was originated
by the Dayton & Western is a deeid-
ed innovation and marks another
step in the advance which the inter-
urban roads are making. At present
the tariff will be operative on 100
miles of road. 1t will enable the
shippers of Richmond to reach nearly
every county in Indiana and many
parts of Ohio.
West out of Richmond goods can
be shipped over the following lines:
The Richmond Street and Interur-
ban Railway, Indianapolis and East
ern, Indianapolis and Northwestern,
Union Traction Company, Indianapo-
lis and Plainfeld and Indianapolis
and Martinsville. East from Rich
mond the lines already in on the
system are the Dayton and Western,
Dayton and Troy, Covington and
Pipns Western Ohio. and the Colum-
bus, London and Springfield. Tn a
short time Mr.. Baker said that lines
would be finished leading out of Lii
ma, Ohio, which would enable Rich
mond shippers to send their goods by
interurban to Detroit, Toledo, Kala-
mazoo Cleveland and other Northern
points.
The tariff guide will show that the
rates to be charged by the interur-
bans are the same as those charged
by the railroads and according. to the
statement Of Mr. Baker the traction
lines will give express service. AS an
example OF This lie said that Il piece
Of freight could leave here of
morning and reach point as far dis
tant rs Lafayette the same evening
while he claimed that the railroad
companies would not handle the same
article in less than three days. He
said that in towns where the council
would permit it the traction ears
would stop in front Of the business
houses which they passed and unload
the freight at the front doors.
II is the intention Mr.. Baker said
to run freight trains on the inter
changeable traction system as soon
as the business demanded it. At
present a system of transferring the
freight from the ears of one road to
those of another will be used but la
ter the cars will run through without
changing the load.

MEXICO TELLS OF OUTBREAK.
Denies That Bloody Conflict occurres
at Cananea.

Mexico City. June 4.-The govern.
ment has advices from Cananea, state
OF Sonora, to the effect that the strike
of Mexican employees against the min
ing companies was at first perfectly
pacific. The protest was that the Mex
ican employees were unfairly treated
and that preference in pay and employ
ment was given to Americans. The
Mexican miners, 1t is claimed, were
roughly repulsed, and this action gave
rise to anger and the strikers set fire
to deposits of wood. The reports Of
armed conflicts between Americans
and Mexicans, in which IA men were
killed and wounded. were unfounded.
The government has given orders to
General Luis Terres. commander Of
the military zone, and Governor Ysa-
bel, who are now probably on the scene
OF the conflict, to concentrate the
forces and stamp out the rioting.
Word has been sent to arrest and duly
punish the guilty parties. and the gov
ernment will proceed with the utmost
vigOr.

Moyer, Pettibone and Haywood Back
to Jail.
The attorneys for the state in the
cases against Meyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone, accused OF the murder Of Frank
Steunenberg, have filed motion for
continuance. 1t is based on the federal
statute which, as construed by the su-
preme court. prohibits state from
taking further proceedings in case Of
this kind when an appeal from Unit
ed States circuit court in habeas cor
pus proceedings resting on claim that
a defendant Is restrained of his liberty
in violation of his constitutional rights,
is still pending in the United States
supreme court. The motion was grant.
ed and proceedings are stayed.
1t was definitely decided by the at
torneys for the defense in the Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone case that they
will take no further steps. This an.
nouncement has been made by c. s.
Darrow. The cases will not come to
trial before the end Of the year.

SEVEN PERSONS KILLED and OVER
TWENTY INJURED.
Party Of ,oung Folks Were Returning
to Providence, r. l., From Crescent
Park-Motorman Did Not Know the
Track and Allowed Car to Strike a
Curve at Full Speed.

Providence. r. l.. June A large
vate party and returning to this city
from Crescent park, left the rails on a
sharp curve in East Providence and
was overturned. Seven persons were
killed and 20 injured.
1t is believed two of the injured will
die. A revised list of the dead fol-

John Schneider 10 years.
Ethel Whitley. 19 years.
The motorman in charge Of the car,
w. ]. Laughcher, was unfamiliar with
the road over which he was travelling
The car, an open one, was Of heavy
build.
Fog prevented clear view of the
road ahead and the mOtorman, una
ware OF the sharp curve below, allowed
the car to coast rapidly down the hill.
Suddenly he felt the car swing into the
curve and, realizing the peril, reversed
the current and applied the brakes.
Seven of the passengers were pin
ioned beneath the car and instantly
killed.
Those who were able began the work
of rescue. A large ioist was utilized
as a lever, pile Of stones forming a
fulcrum and the car was raised from
the ground Just enough to permit the
escape of its imprisoned passengers.
Two persons had succeeded in escap-
ing when the joist broke under the
weight of the car and the heavy We
hicle fell back, killing two Of the in
jured.
The rescuers again raised the car
from the ground and by building a pile
of heavy stone kept it in position while
the dead and injured were removed.
Two of those taken out, John Gavin
and George Atkinson, both Of whom
had sustained fractured skulls, died
within an hour.

how he views the future:
Yes, fortunately it was unsuccess-
full, but it will come again. 1t may be
any time-perhaps tomorrow, perhaps
within a month, perhaps within a year;
but it will come"
The face Of the king wore a look of
calm resignation as he gave this fore
cast of the future. Although he bore
himself splendidly throughout the ter
rible experience, the courtiers who
witnessed the trying scene as King
Alfonso and Queen Victoria hurried
within the castle after the attempt was
made to assassinate them, say that for
moment AlfonsO's nerves were COM
pietely unstrung, and, turning to
Queen Victoria, whose dress was srat-
tered with blood, exclaimed: "Why did
bring you to this country? 1t was
wrong. You should never have come
here"

the infantas calmed the overwrought
nerves of the king and the bridal cou
