THREE MASKED MEN
ATTEMPT TO ROB BANK AT
STRONGViLLE, drumming
FIGHT FOLLOWS.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 8.-Three
masked men late last night attempted
to rob the Merchants Bank at Strong
vile, suburb. They were discov.
cred as a result Of the ringing OF
burglar alarm. Citizens armed with
shotguns opened fire on the cracks
ment and a running fight followed, in
which two of the latter were wounded.
All three, however, fed into the woods
nearby. Their supposed hiding place
is now completely surrounded by
farmers armed with shotguns.

sued them and relieved Of the burden
of wounded comrade, two of the
three robbers are believed to have
escaped. The third man, abandoned
by his companions, was found uncon-

WALSH MUST
AZ co TO PRISON
MAN CONVICTED OF BALLOT BOX
sTuFFINo RETURNS AND
sURRENDERS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 9.-James
T. Walsh, convicted of ballot steals
in local municipal elections, returned
to this city today after an absence of
several months and surrendered to
Sheriff Monteverde. 1t is stated on
authority of the criminal court judge
that he will be forced to serve a sen
tence in the county workhouse, COM
mencing in a day or two. Walsh left
Memphis several weeks ago for Hot
Springs, Ark, in search of his health,
it was stated. Efforts to bring him
back failed, although requisition was
asked OF Gov. Pindall of Arkansas.
From Hot Springs Walsh is supposed
to have gone to Indiana, and his re-
turn was a surprise to many who
thought he had left never to return.
Walsh was convicted of fraudulent
election methods twenty months ago,
when his cousin, John T. Walsh, pres
ent vice-mayor and fire and police
commissioner, was elected to Office.
Walsh is popularity supposed to be in
wretched health, and for this reason
it is thought he may be granted a
pardon by Gov. Patterson.

OFFICIALS MUCH DISAPPOINTED
AT NOT DISCOVERING ANY
THING WRONG WITH 1T.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Oficials
of the department of agriculture are
disappointed in not being able to
learn the cause of the recent milk
poisoning in Middle Tennessee. DR..
Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal
industry, says that when his men ar
rived in the district, where the recent
deaths were caused by cows milk, to
make an investigation, absolutely all
signs of poisonous substances in the
milk had disappeared. Scientists sta

MRS. RUSSELL BREAKS
ENGAGEMENT
THE BARON GETS A LEMON, AND
A BIG ONE, THIS TIME.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Mrs. Marcus
Dennison Russell, the wealthy and
beautiful New York widow, formerly
Miss McGavock, of Nashville, Tenn.
whose engagement to Baron Christian
Won Motz, of the German army, was
recently announced, and whose wed
ding was scheduled for the near flu.
ture, has broken the engagement.
The exact cause is not known, but
it appears that since the engagement
became a fact some weeks ago there
has been more or less friction between
the two, and this eliminated this az
ternoon in a violent quarrel in the
cafe of the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria.
Mrs. Russell left the hotel greatly
,agitated, and soon after it was known
among her friends that the engage
ment was at an end. This was con-
firmed by Mrs Russell herself, who, in
answer to an inquiry, sent the follow
ing note:
Mrs. Marcus Dennison Russell de-
sires to deny her reported engagement
to Baron Christian Won Motz, of the
German army. No such engagement
either exists or is contemplated.

N|ECES INSIST
that QUANTRELL
Is DEAD AND BURIED AT LOUIS
VILE, AND CITE ExHUMlNG
OF BODY BY HIS MOTHER.

CINCINNATI, O., Aug. ia Canal
Dover, o., special to the Enquirer
says: The report that William Clark
Ouantrell, the famous guerrilla, is
alive and well on Vancouver Island
is unquestionably mistake.
In 1888 w. w. Scott, editor of the
Iron Valley Reporter, went with the
mother Of Quantrell to Louisville, KY,
and exhumed the body, which was
positively identified by Mrs. Quantrell
as that of her son. The investigation
was made because of similar rumor
which gained circulation about that
time.
The body was again buried, after
two skin bones and lock of hair were
removed. These were presented In
1888 to the Kansas Historical Society,
and are still to be found in it's collec-
ton in Topeka.
The two nieces of Quantrell live
here, and they are positive that Mrs.
Quantrell made no mistake when she
said 1t was the remains of her son
which lay in the Catholic Cemetery at
Louisville.
Quantrell was born here in 1887, and
at the age of 16 became a teacher in
the Canal Dover public schools.
The building in which he taught 10
now the City Public Library. He left
here in 1851, going to Kansas, where
he engaged for time in teaching.
Later he went to Santa Fee, where he
drove a large stage coach until the
war broke out His mother lived here
until her means were exhausted, when
she was taken to the Odd Fellows
Home at Dayton, where she died.

DECLARED
COMPLETE,
STATEMENT REGARDING JAMES
TOWN EXPOSITION ISSUED
BY DIRECTOR GENERAL.

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 8.-The
jamestown Exposition is declared to
be complete in statement issued to-
day by Director General James M
Barr, who also asks for the project
the support of the country at large.
Mr. Barr says:
THE jamestown Ter-Centennial
Exposition, barring minor details,
which will be finished within ten days,
is completed. 1t fittingly commend
rates the great historical event which
it was designed to celebrate, and it
reflects credit on the State of Vir-
ginia, the South and the Nation.
"In the character of its buildings,
the excellence of it's exhibits and the
beauty of location on historical Hamp-
ton Roads, 1t compares favorably with
any exposition held in this country,
and is fully justifies it's management
in asking the united support of the
people of the country"

POOL TO
BOOST WHEAT
ST. LOUIS CAPITALISTS ORGANIZE
ONE WITH $2,5oo,0oo TO oPER-
ATE IN THE MARKETS.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1O.-St. Louis cap
italists have formed a pool Of $2,5OO,-
600 with which to boost December
wheat above the dollar mark in the
st. Louis and Chicago markets.
The money is on deposit with one Of
the big local trust companies, and the
campaign will be launched in the next
few days, it is said
Those whose names are mentioned
in connection with the projected deal
will not discuss it at this time, but
they freely predict that wheat
will go much higher, simply on
the basis of supply and demand, even
if there is no manipulation. The big
gest plunger in wheat on the local ex-
change Just now is David Coon. An
other who is mentioned as having
an interest in the pool is Thomas Ad-
kin. Despite his repeated statement
that he is out of the market, those
who follow the speculative game close
Iy say that luISISSlS uSISIOlOlO dIlAOu
with John T. Milliken will also be
found on the buying side when the
big upward movement commences.
Quiet but persistent buying by opera
tors long known as the Spencer
crowd" has caused a large advance
in the price of the December |
wheat option in the last few weeks.
Prices are away above those which
prevailed in the market at this time
last year.
The prediction of higher prices, and
the effort to work a speculative "cor-
ner" are based on reports of crop
shortage and the probability that this
will cause big drain on the surplus
of wheat from last years crop.

Jackson, Miss, May 24.-The
game between Jackson and Gulf

looked as if Umpire Mckenzie
was going to be chawed in two" "
Immediately after the game
had been concluded, and Jackson
had lost out by a score of five to
four, the crowd surged down
from the grand stand and de-
manded blood or it's equivalent.
Fortunately for Mckenzie the
police were there in force and
surrounded the umpire, after
wards escorting him to his room
at the hotel.
However, it seems that Nc
Kenzie was charged with un-
fairness by both sides, 'Red
Murch" having "cussed" him
out during the game, for which
he was benched.

VOTE QUESTIONED
Says Governor Has No Right to
Vote In Trustees Meeting.

Mr.. Firman Smith, a former
Mississippian, now of Nashville,
has written a letter to the Jack
son evening News, and which is
also printed in circular form. in
which he claims that a mere
cursory examination of the law
shows conclusively that the gov
ernor of Mississippi has no right
to vote in meetings of the trus.
tees of the University of Missis-
sippi. The point he made has
aroused considerable interest and
was brought out last March by
the election of Mr.. Holmes as a
professor of law, for whom the
governor voted. Mr.. Smith holds
that the governor is in fact not
a trustee but only a presiding
officer of the board, and quotes
extensively from the law, which
seems to be very plain in uphold
ing his contention.
