is NOW KING
Norway Now Has Full Pledged King
and Queen.

Throndhjem.-With a noble cere-
mony. King Haakon VII. and Queen
Maud formerly Prince Charles and
Princess Maud of Denmark) last Fri
day were invested with the crowns of
Norway. The time, the circumstances
and memories gave the occasion a
peculiar solemnity that produced an
impressive monotone throughout the
proceedings.
The Norwegian-American delegates
to the coronation of King Haakon held
meeting Saturday in the garden of
the old archbishop's palace, under the
shadow of the cathedral, and invited
William J. Bryan to address them.
When Mr.. Bryan appeared he was
presented with American and Nor
wegian flags and the crowd cheered
him. Mr.. Bryan said that, judging Nor
way by her sons who came to America,
he wanted to offer her his congratula'
tons. He declared that Norway had
achieved high civilization without los
ing any of her early strength, thing
nations rarely achieved. He hoped
the country's prosperity would be as
long as her days were now.

Big Relay Race.

Indians and white men are again
invited to compete in the big relay
race at the Spokane Interstate Fair,
which is to held this year, September
"a to October 6. Manager Robert H
Cosgrove announces that $500 has
been set aside as purses for this con-
test which will last ten days this
year instead of six as last year.
1t is belived this handsome Of
fer will bring many horsemen.
The conditions are the same as
last year. Each man must have
at least four horses and will ride
two miles a day, changing horses and
saddles at the end of each half mile.
It is presumed each rider will want
one or two extra horses in case of
accident. He will be permitted one
man to assist him in holding his
horse when he makes the change. He,
however, must change saddles him.
self.
This race is one of the most exciting
contests ever seen. People go wild
as they watch their favorites, es-
pecially when the men spring on and
off their horses and change saddles.
If man makes quick change there
is wild cheering. If his fingers slip
or tumble there are mingled groans
and agonizing cries of encouragement
and Disappointment.

HARRY THAW
COMMITS MURDER

New York, June Stanford White.
the eminent architect of the firm of
McKim, Mead & White, was shot Mon
day night and almost instantly killed
by Harry Thaw,a member of the prom.
inent Pittsburg family, during the per.
Torrance of the musical extravaganza
"Mamselle Champagne on the roof Of
the Madison Square Garden. Mr..
White died before an ambulance could
be summoned, and Thaw was arrested
Immediately after the shooting. The
garden was crowded with fashionable
audience.
Instantly after the shot the great
audience was thrown into a panic and
wild stampede occurred, during which
chairs and tables were overturned and
men and women fought with despera.
ton to escape from the roof. The first
intimation of trouble came when, walk
ing in front of his seated victim, the
man exclaimed: you've deserved
this. You've ruined my home," and
drawing an automatic pistol fired three
shots. The first two took effect, but as
the third was discharged the pistol was
struck up by fireman on duty in the
theater and the bullet went skyward.
The woman who had been sitting with
Mr.. White sprang to her feet and rush.
ed up to his assailant, who was strug-
CLING with the fireman, threw her arms
about his neck, exclaiming: 'I'll stand
by you.' Fireman Burden took the
revolver away from Thaw and hand
him over to the police. Thaw handed
the policeman $40 and asked him to
notify Andrew Carnegie, that be was
in trouble. Thaw, it is alleged, said
to the fireman, "He deserves what he
got. He ruined my life and deserted
the girl" While Thaw was being
held by the policeman the young
woman, who is described as short, slen
der, dark and very pretty, again put
her arms about his neck.
Thaw told her to keep quiet and not
get excited, as all would come out all
right.
Thaw had been present during the
entire performance. With woman.
said to be Mrs. Thaw, he had taken
seats at a rear table.
He was in evening dress and his over
coat was thrown over the back OF his
chair. He got up every few minutes
and walked about and the spectators
later recalled that he had acted very
nervously.
Six women of the stage had begun
their sorg when Thaw left his wife,
and, walking rapidly down the aisle.
stood for few minutes right behind
Mr.. White, looking at him hard.
White was apparently ignorant OF
his peril. When Thaw quickly pulled
a pistol and fired. Mr.. White, wlthout
a sound, slipped down to the floor, the
chair and table falling on top OF ham.
The charge against Thaw is murder.
Mystery still surrounds the cause OF
the tragedy, but its solution may Do
found in the words attributed to Thsw
Immediately after the shooting:
"Well, ne ruined my wife and ees
him."
1t is known that for years bitter en-.
nifty had existed between White ana
Thaw on account of the formers atten'
tions to Mrs. Thaw, which had begun
prior to her marriage. Mrs. Inaw,
said to be q member of the or1ginsl
Floradora sextet, disappeared in the e
element while her husband was being
taken to the station.
