THREE FOUND DEAD,

Barbed Wire, Charged by Elec.
tricity, Fatal Snare for ~
Workmen.

Rushville, Ind, Sept: 11.-Three men
were killed today by coming in contact
with a barbed wire fence that had
been charged with electricity from the
plant of the Indianapolis s Cincinnati
Traction company. The dead are:
Oliver Glcre, aged IS; William Petit
ford, colored, aged As; Reuben Bolt
right, colored, aged 43. ..-..
The accident occurred near the pow
er house of the traction company. Pet
tiford and Boltright were walking
along railroad track to a gravel pit
where they had been working. Bolt
right started across lots thru a barbed
wire fence. AS he touched the wire he
screamed and hung helpless. Petit
ford received a shock in trying to
rescue him, and came in contact with
tho wire. Before the current could be
shut off his body was badly burned and
both men were dead.
James Glore was in the crowd that
gathered about the two bodies. He re-
called the fact that his brother in go
ing to his work used a path near the
fence. Investigation found the body
Of Oliver Glore hanging to the fence
600 yards away. A bolt of lightning
had burned an insulator, which allowed
a guy wire, leading 10 the fence to be-
come charged.

O'Connell, who fell upon the pavement,
breaking his right hip, bone.

fore a justice and pleaded guilty to
simple assault, and later paying the
small fine imposed, left the city, and it
is not thought he will be apprehended.

20O houses, located in different parts Of
Warsaw, were. ransacked by troops.
ABOUT 1000 arrests were made and most
OF the prisoners are Jews. Many chill

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Because an Ital-

without proper Identification yesterday
at the Pullman Loan and Savings bank,
he spread the rep4t that the bank
suit was run late yesterday. after

ADAMS WILL BE NOMINATED
Former Governor of Colorado Again
Choice Of Democrats.

Denver, COL, Sept. 11-The demo-
cratic state convention met in Coliseum
hall today to nominate full state
ticket and two justices Of the supreme
court. When the convention opened,
there seemed no doubt that former Gov
ernor Alva Adams of Pueblo would be
nominated for another term as gov
ernor, altho County Judge Ben B. Lind
sey Of Denver was still mentioned.
Judge Lindsey has always been a
firm supporter of Adams, and was not
IN any sense contesting with him for
the honor. Lindsey's friends were anx-
ious that Adams should accept the in
dorsement Of the convention for the
position of United States senator to
succeed Thomas M. Patterson, whose
term expires next March, and pass up
the governorship to Lindsey.
Senator Patterson, whose fight
against the local democratic organiza-
ton dominated by Mayor Robert w.
Speer has won him warm support from
outside counties, insists that Adams
take the gubernatorial nomination in
vlndication of his claim that he was
elected governor two years ago and was
robbed Of the office.

the only noise from the streets was the

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE result
of the election in this state yesterday,
when the republican plurality for gov
ernor, which usually approximates 25,-
900, was reduced to about 5000, while
at the same time the total vote was
greatly increased over the figures Of
four years ago, is attributed by leaders
parties to popular feeling over the -Oper-
alton of the prohibitory liquor laws and
not to the opposition of Samuel Com
pers and his labor party.
Attic the republicans reelected Gov
ernor William II. Cobb, and all the four
congressman Of the state, and will have
working control of the state legisla-
ture, the pluralities were so generally
reduced as to occasion surprise in many
quarters.
Both Governor Cobb and Congress
man Littlefeld, in whose district the
most vigorous battle of the campaign
was waged, are Of the opinion that the
Sturgis law, providing for the enforce
ment Of the existing prohibitory law by
state liquor deputies, was the leading
factor in the result.
Democrats Win in Cities.
The democrats made resubmission Of
the liquor prohibitory amendment to
the people part of their platform,
while the republicans stood squarely
for Endorsement of the prohibitory plan
and its strict enforcement. The re-
suit was especially evident in the cities,
the democrats carrying all Of the TWEEN
ty-one municipalities of the state, with
the exception of four.
