{ SHOT ! BURGLAR
5.UNsUccEssFuL ATTEMPT AT
ROBBERY AT PEEL TREE,
BARBOUR COUNTY.

CLARKSBURG, Nov. S.-The home
of John Rogers, of Peel Tree. was the
scene Wednesday night Of a most dar.
Ing attempt Of robbery. Mr.. Rogers Is
"a cattle dealer Of note, and during the
sfall has shipped many thousand head
( to eastern markets. 1t is believed that
the burglar, who planned the work anil
came so near carrying 1t to success.
Sful execution, had reasons to believe
that Mr.. Rogers had snug sum at
home.
The attempt was carefully planned.
First the telephone system was put
out OF commission and aided by dark
lantern the burgar effected entrance
through a front door on the first floor
Mr.. Rogers was absent from home.
Near midnight Mrs. Rogers heard a
noise up stairs and at once began an
Investigation. Accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. Paugh, she ascended the
stairway. When the second floor was
j reached they were met by a burly fel.
low who defled them to approach
nearer. This failed to daunt Mrs.
Rogers who seized a revolver and
fired four shots at the burglar. He
leaped through window and made
his escape.
81 Mrs. Rogers at once sounded the
ALARM, but as the phone system was
not wording she failed to arouse the
sneighbors. An investigation showed
that no money was taken, although
the search for 1t had been diligently
made This attempt has aroused the
nelshbors to a high pitch as several
wealthy cattle dealers live near there
and they fear they may fall victims
TO some daring culprit's work.

Postal Question

AL COMPLICATIONS.

PEKIN, Nov. S.-The postal question
threatens general international com.
plications. Russia denies China's right
to receive European mails on account
of the fact that she does not belong to
the Postal Union. The Russians re-
ceive malls at Kuan Cheng Tzu, Man.
churia, 73 miles from Kirln. from all
the nations in the union, and delivers
all incoming malls to the cooperating
Japanese. who ignore china's postal
service.
China yesterday repeated on the
Newchwang Railway the same coercIve
exclusion Of Japanese mail carriers as
she recently applied on the main line
of the Imperial Railways. The ex.
clusion Of the Japanese there, after
Japan had admitted China's right in
October, shows, Il Is claimed here, the
degree Of pettiness which the conten.
tions have reached.

WHITNEY HORSES RETIRE.
Leave Renning Track For Winter
Quarters in New York.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The with
drawaI of Harry Payne WhitneyS
horses to New York has completely
changed the complexion of the stake
events for the next II days. Their
presence assured some sort Of a con
test as they were horses of high class
But their absence leaves the Grand
Consolation stakes, the $4,000 2-year-
ola feature. a onchorSe affair. with
Falcada the probable winner.
Had the Whitney horses been per-
mitted to remain the race for the
Grand Consolation would have been a
keen contest Royal Tourist. the best
of the Whitney youngsters, was here
to do battle for the stakes, and as he
and Falcada are well matched for
seven furlongS the race would have
repaid the club for its value. AS it is
it is now merely a gift of winter sta
bic money to X. Il. Wilson. Jr.. the
owner of Falcada.
Several other stakes will suffer from
the failure Of the Whitney horses to
take part in the meeting. Only the
poor horse owners, the men who have
one or two good horses with which
they earn Il livelihood, are happy that
the Whitney horses have retired 10
winter quarters.
