Fatal Duel is Fought in French
Tramcar.

An Italian named Vivani and
Spaniard named Loqueta fought a
duel in an electric tram car in Mar
settles last week, and Viviani was
killed
The two men were alone in the gar,
which was running to Marseilles
from an outlying suburb. They were
discussing bull fighting, when the
Italian expressed his opinion in
strong language of the brutality of
the national Spanish sport.
Loqueta, who was furious, struck
him in the face, and the Italian chal
lenged him to fight. Certainly, but
it must be here and now" answered
Loqueta 1--WE can not both of us
be living when the car arrives at
Marseilles"
The two men stripped to the waist,
and drew daggers. The conductor at
tempted to proven the duel, but vi
viani threw him bodily off the car,
which was travelling at full speed. Lo-
quota and Viviani then fought des-
perately until Viviani fell stabbed TO
the heart.
1t was not until the driver noticed
blood at his feet, and saw that it
was running from beneath the door
of the car that he was aware of what
had happened
He then attempted to return to
pick up the conductor, but Loquetta
threatened him with the dagger, and
compelled him to drive on into Mar

When they entered the town the

Places for Alien Millions.

In spite of the fact that immi-
grants are coming into this country
at the rate of about 100000 year,
there are places for millions more.
This is shown by the first report of
Terence w. Powderly chief of the d.
vision of information of the bureau of
migration, established two months
ago. Already information has been
furnished that places can be provided
for 256,00O men, women and children

$3.50 day. Three states alone re-

Harry Ault Escapes from Tuscola
Tail

The recent jail delivery at Tuscola,
ILL.,, has strange story. Harry Ault,
the chief mover in the delivery, was
held for murder, and his trial was set
for the October term of court. He
had been a prisoner for year, hav-
ing been transferred from the Lans-
ing (Kas.) prison on his written con-
fession that he was the murderer OF
Edward Stillions, a railroad agent, at
Gallon, Illinois, in 1902
A few weeks ago Ault succeeded in
working the combinat ton lock on his
cell door. He worked night after
night, being unable to see the disc,
and few weeks ago his efforts were
rewarded with success. Something
interviewed at the time of his discov
cry of the combination of the lock to
prevent escape, and he called the at
tention of the sheriff TO what he
termed the turkeys carelessness in
failing to lock the door, saying it
was the second or third time the
turnkey had failed to lock him in,
but. although the opportunity for
him to escape was readily at hand, it
was his desire to be tried, and he
wished the sheriff to note his behav-
ior as a prisoner He so impressed
the sheriff that the turnkey was dis
charged
A prisoner reports that Ault work
ed for months before he was able to
solve the combination, and that he
was deferred from telling the sheriff
through fear Of death at Aults hands.
Ault also made a rope from the bed
BLANKETS, which he busted at frequent
intervals with pepper, which he also
used as a preventive against pursuit
by bloodhounds, which began TO
sneeze as soon as they caught the
trail.
In addition to the combination lock
the door Of each cell is locked near
the center with a heavy key. Ault
constructed duplicate of wood, and
then, by melting the solder from tin
cups by means of small gasoline
stove, he used this solder in con-
structing metal key; melting it by
an electric globe, and using the cleo
tricity in providing the necessary
heat for melting the solder. This
key gave him the freedom of the cor
ridor, and when a sufficient number
of bricks were removed from the
wall TO permit the passage of his
body, the ground could be reached
by means of the improvised rope.
In order to carry out his plan OF
escape, Ault obtained quarters for a
time on the first floor, and later he
was transferred to the second, on
his plea that he was afraid the other
prisoners would assault him, and he
had incurred their displeasure. All
this time the other prisoners report
that Ault was in possession of a re-
voIver, with which he assured them
the first man betraying him would
be killed.
The murder of Stillions has always
been shrouded in mystery, and the
story of Auit is believed by only a
few persons. 1t is now thought that
he will never be recaptured, and that
the crime will go down in history

Henry A. Barker, the English
bloodIess SUI geon, who demonstra: d
his methods in New York, has gone
to Paris, with the intention of plac,
ing his services gratuitously at the
disposal of the poor during the final
week of his honeymoon.
He said that the French struck him
as physically inferior to the Ameri-
cans, judging by the appearance of
the inhabitants of Paris and New
York. He added that he had noticed
a remarkable large proportion OF
fatfooted persons among the Paris
ians and many cripple and cases Of

manipulation instead of surgical OPP
erations.
Mr.. Barker is uncertain whether he
will continue to use his method in
Paris, even without charging fees,
as he does not possess French d.

announced that he is a candidate for
the nomination for governor on the

number of other leading politicians

a solid delegation from Marion coun-
ty. II is also claimed that TAYLOR
will have the support of the labor
organizations of the state. He de-
clares that state institutions for the
cure OF cancer, tuberculosis and other
diseases can be built and state taxes
reduced. Economy an, form will
be the watchwords of n mpaign
for the nomination, and il is sppar-
ent that he will be formidable can

and Charles w. Miller pitted against
him. Fremont Goodwine and Lieu
tenant Gov. Hugh Tn. Miller are ex-
pected to enter the race and there
will perhaps be others. In the con-
vention' it will be the field against
Charley Miller of Goshen. If his
nomination can be prevented on the
first or second ballot his opponents
believe that combinations can be
made that will give the nomination
to some other candidate, perhaps a
