as Calvin and Joe Cox, aged IL and 10

their home, half mile west OF town,
a man leaped into the road from clump
of bushes near The rock crnsher at The
edge OF town and commanded them to

grabbing the horses bride. Calvin had
a .22-calibre revolver in his pocket, and,
although badly frightened. drew this and

KING BoYcoTrED, WILL QUIT
Carlos Of Portugal 10 in Bad Favor With
Leading Men OF the Nation.

LISBON, oct. 7.--Boycotted by practi.
cally all the leading families I'M his
realm, King Carlos has weakened under
the pressure brought upon him BY the
allied party leaders and will probably
abdicate within q few days in favor Of
the crown prince.
Against political attacks the king
seemed impervious. The social campaign
now being waged against him Is proving
too much for him, however, and he Is
said already TO have signifed that he
prefers surrender to continuation OF
the persecution. to which he has lately
been subjected.
The boycott, deliberately engineered
by Luciano DeCastro, the liberal leader,
eliminated today with the refusal Of all
members Of the former ministry, OF the
parties and Of the council OF
state TO attend the triple celebration In
honor OF the double birthdays Of the
king and the crown princes return from
his African tour.
With the refusal to take part in to-
days reception an intimation was given
to the king that the same policy would
be pursued with all royal functions dur
ing the continuation Of the dictatorship.
Admitting that palace reception ,un-
attended by the principal men OF the
kingdom would be farce, Carlos aban-
doned the time. .honored method Of obser-
wing his own and his queens anniyer-
saries and announced that they would
receive their friends congratulations on
the arsenal wharf when they went to
greet the crown prince-a plan by which
the monarch hopes to Offset by turn
out OF the common people at least the
absence OF the aristocracy.
Such fear was felt, however, OF a
popular outbreak that extraordinary
military precautions were taken to main
tain order. Four lines Of troops sur
rounded the docks and guarded the
streets. Numerous detectives are shad.
owing suspects.
