BIG HIATUS IN HIS LIFE
Doctor Missing for Twenty Eight
Years Returns, Knowing MOI hing
OF What lie Has Been Doing.

Ladoga, Ind, March 13. = Dr. John
Mahoney, young physician, disap
peared from Ladoga in 1873 and a
search for years by friends failed to
find any trace of him. Saturday he
got off MOnon train at Ladoga. No
one recognized him and he looked
about as if bewildered. He inquired
for DR.. J. c. Mahoney and was taken
to the latter's office, but there was no
sign of recognition between the two
men. DR.. Mahoney finally recognized
the stranger as lis long missing broth
er, but the latter seemed unable to
place him and called for his little son.
The child was years old when his
father went away and is now man Of
81. DR.. MahOney has no idea of the
lapse Of time nor where he has been
during his twenty-eight years absence.
His wife got a divorce five years aft
er his desertiOn and remarked in Kan
sas, where she is now living. DIR.
MahOney has the air Of man who is
completely mystifed by his SUR ound-
ings and cannot account for the many
changes that have taken place, as he
has no knowledge of being absent.

AMBUsHED BY OUTLAWS
Three U. S. Deputy Marshals Killed
and Two Others Still Battling
for Their Lives.

Vineta, l. T., March 13.-Heavily
armed officers are hurrying from all
parts Of the territory to the scene
twenty-five miles southeast of I-ineta,
in the Cherokee nation, where the
Wicklil1e outlaws killed three deputy
marshals on Sunday night, and at last
reports were still battling with the two
remaining officials. I. L. GiIstrap, Of
Kansas; Otis Tuttle, of Vinett and
Richard Carey, of Tahlequeh, l. T., are
the deputies who were killed. Accord
ing to the report received here the full
blood Indians are going to the support
Of the Wickliffes, who are Cherokee
Indians. The ambush laid by the
Wickliffes for the six deputies ON Sun
day night was cleverly planned. The
officers were led into it unsuspecting-
~, and were fired upon without warn
ing. The deputies fought desperately
and TO- time escape for any OF them
seemed impossible. There were six
deputies altogether at first, but one Of
them was started off for help as soon
as possible.

Washington, March Is. = Statehood
legislation formed one of the topics of
discussion at the White House. 1t de
velOped from the calls on the president
Of Speaker Cannon and Representa-
tive Watson, of Indiana, the Republic
an whip Of the house, that the mem
bers Of the house are incensed at the
action of the senate not only on the
statehood bill but on other measures
passed by the house which have been
received with disapprovaI by the sen
ate. When Speaker Cannon was asked
If, in his opinion, there would be state
hood legislation by this congress he
said vehemently: go ask Aldrich,
Burrow and Company. They seem to
want to be running things. So far as
l am cOncerned-so far as my vote
goes-the legislation will proceed along
the usual lines. The bill will be sent
to a conference between the two
branches. Do they think the house was
born in the wood to be scared by an
owI?"
Will Not Stand for Such Treatment.
Watson was positive thehouse would
not concur in the senate amendments
to the statehood bill. 1.-The house will
stand pat" he declared. "The senate
has kicked out our Philippine bill, has
tried to emasculate the rate bill and
has cut the life out of the statehood
n iTIy Ie4o, u
such treatment? 1t will not, and you
may depend upon it." There is some

learned nothing definite has been de
termined

message in which he roasted congress
fer adopting a resolution that was in
his opinion not properly wOrded to
accomplish the proposed purpose - the
joint resolution for an investigation of
alleged determinations by railways on
coal and oil-Were not as peppery as
might have been expected. He depre-
Gated "the necessity of criticising this
most extraordinary document. Fate
has enlisted me as an ally of the presi-
dent in getting an adequate railway
rate bill, and l regret very much to
have anything come up which would
occasion any disruption of the AMIGA
bic relations that now exist or appear
to exist between u.s.
Words Were ''AImost Insulting"
He added: "There can be no good
reason for the president to scold us in
a manner that is almost insulting by
charging US with insincerity, pretense
and ignorance. The only reason l can
see is that he must have been miser-
ably advised" Lodge, Spooner and
Foraker defended the president.
