MIGHTY N|MROD HUNTS
IN TRULY REGAL STYLE
ACCOMPANIED BY THREE PRO-
FESSIONALS, PRESIDENT
SEEKS BEARS.

STAMBOUL, La, Oct. S.-The
president spent the day quietly in
his camp on Tensas Bayou with the
intention of beginning his hunt early
tomorrow This report is not official,
but comes through natives who are
keeping a close eye on the movements
of the chief executive as the cour-
tesies will permit.
There is quite a canvas village
where the camp is pitched. 1t con-
sists of seven tents, most of which are
occupied as living apartments by the
president and his party. The presi-
dents own tent is a walled structure
about fifteen feet square and there
is large mess tent and a cooking
tent, floored. The president has been
supplied with a big bay horse but will
not use him when on the hunt, train
ed ponies being supplied for this pur-
pose. The people hereabouts express
confidence that some of the bears
will be bagged and there are more
assurances on the subject of veni-
son. They say the woods are full OF
Virginia deer There will be three
professional hunters in the crowd

BANK ROBBERS SECURE
HALF MILLION DOLLARS
Murder Sheriff who Would Capture
Them and Escape on
HandCar.

SEDDON, Ala, Oct. S.-Four
masked robbers last night looted the
First National bank of $575,526 and
murdered Sheriff John Williams of
this county, who was endeayoring to
stop them and escaped with their
booty.
A little after 10 o'clock last night
a man on his way home noticed a
ray of light coming from the window
of the bank, the curtains of which
were down. He peered through the
narrow crack between the curtain
and the wall and saw four masked
men gathered about the open vault,
while the floor was covered with coin
and piles of paper money.
One man held -four sack and the
others thrust the money into it.
The robbers, hearing his cries, put
out their lights. Just as the sheriff
arrived, the robbers threw open the
door and dashed out, one man carry
ing the bag, and all holding revolvers
"Stop!" shouted the sheriff, and
called on the crowd to help in the
capture. The reply of the robbers
was volley of pistol shots, and Sher-
iff Williams fell dead, his body pierc-
ed by two balls.
The men dashed down the alley
at the corner of which the bank
stood, firing as they ran. A score ol
men, most of them armed, pursued
The robbers ran to the yards of the
Southern railway, where a hand cai
was standing on the track prepared
for their escape.
Firing a last volley in the direc'
tion of their pursuers, the bandits
jumped on the hand car. A hundred
shots were fired after them but none
seemed to take effect.
Mounted posses were soon formed
and dispatched along either side OF
the railroad track, while news of the
robbery was flashed to the next sta
ton. This morning the handcar was
found thrown to one side of the track
few miles from town, but no trace
of the robbers has been found.

FOUR WORKMEN MEET
MOST AWFUL DEATH

BUTLER, Pa, Oct. S.-An explo-
sion caused by the upsetting of the
metal pot in the cupola of the Stan
dard Steel company today, caused the
death of four men, fatally injured
twenty and seriously hurt twenty 9th
ers Nearly all of the men were for
eigners.
The large wheel plant was demol-
ished, causing a loss estimated al
100000.
The condition of the men injured
is pitiable. Although still alive, the
features of the majority are mutilat
ed beyond recognition. The hot meta
was showered over them, causing
horrible injuries. Arms, fingers and
ears we're torn off and a number ol
men had their eyes burned out. Sew.
eral men are in the hospital will
their legs burned to crisp.

ROLLS ARE IN
BAD CONDITION
State Auditor Rolf Finds Assessors
Records Tangled In Cor
dian Knot.
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LOST
Incomplete and Inaccurate Lists;
Many Abuses Discovered
Must BE Rectificd.

State Auditor N. W. Rolf, who has
been exporting the books of the coun-
ty officers since Monday morning, re-
ports everything in the offices of the
recorder and treasurer in fine con-
dition and that the work of those Of
fees is in competent hands.
In the assessors Office he did not
find matters at all satisfactory and
says the county and state will lose
hundreds of dollars in revenue that
should be paid in. For instance, the
law says that every game of chance
shall pay license of 800 the first
month Instead of paying 800. they
have paid but $75. In many in
stances, too, when n faro license for
example, was taken out, If faro did
not prove winner game of twen-
ty-one or stud had been opened on
the faro license.
Mr.. Rolf states that every gambling
game in the county has been illegal
ly conducted and much revenue has
been lost from that source.
He finds that the various mining
companies in the county have not
been properly assessed. In fact, Mr..
Rolf says that he cannot find
scratch of pen from any mining
company in the county in the shape
of report. when the law reads
plainly that every mining company
shall make a report of its condition.
The law requires every company to
make a report of the number of tons
of ore extracted, the number of tons
shipped and the cost of production.
No such report has been made and
there is no record of any kind in evil
dence that any mining company is
operating in White Pine county. Very
little of the mining machinery in the
county has been assessed at all.
But $50 has been collected for
sheep licenses where from that source
alone Mr.. Rolf says the income
should be at least $500. So it goes
all down the list of assessable prop
erty in the county.
State Auditor Rolf appeared before
the board of county commissioners
Monday and laid the matter before
that body and recommended to the
board that it straighten out the tan
gle as best it could this year and here
after adopt a plat book for cities
and towns for the guidance of future
assessments.
He said that with all of White
Pines boasting of rich mines that the
records in the assessors Office do not
show one. Auditor Rolf will report
the conditions he has found to the
state officers and some action will
most likely be taken.

MANUFACTURERS DEFRAUD
GOVERNMENT OF BIG SUM

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Postmas-
ter General Meyer has suspended the
payment of moneys due from his de-
partment to the Hartford Manufac-
turing company of Hartford, Conn,
and has submitted the matter to the
attorney general for such further ac-
ton as may be deemed proper. The
Hartford Manufacturing company, up
to July last, supplied the stamped en-
velopes and newspaper wrappers sold
at postoffices. Chemical analysis of
samples has disclosed the fact that
the composition of the envelope paper
has been below the requirements of
the contract and. according to the
computations of the experts of the
postoffice department the company
has in the last four years wrOngfully
benefited to the extent of about $425,-

BIG WATER FLOW
FOUND IN G|R0Ux
MINES IN ALPHA SHAFT TAP UN-
DERGROUND STREAM GRAT-
flying TO MANAGEMENT.

The anticipation of the Giroux
Consolidated Copper company, that
they would find good flow of water
in the Alpha shaft, increasing in vol
ume as depth was attained, has been
realized in measure, during the last
few days, that was beyond the hopes
of the owners to attain in so short
time.
The new strike of water was open
ed up Monday by the capacity crew
that is driving the Alpha shaft down.
ward at all possible speed. The flow
is heavy and steady and the company
believes that it will be able to start
it's new mill within another month.
When the mill is once started, it
will be kept in operation "a hours
every day in the year. The forces
employed in the mine will be largely
increased and thousands of dollars
will be added to the aggregate of the
payrolls of the camp every month.
The Giroux company will employ no
fewer than from 500 to o00 i.ic''
when the mill is given it's preliminary
run. IT is believed that the water
supply developed from the mine will
be adequate for all purposes within
the next thirty or sixty days at the
latest.

STRIKING TELEGRAPHERS
WOULD RETURN TO WORK
Cleveland Union Men Ask Permission
to Go Back to Old PO-
SitiOnS.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. S.-The
Cleveland News says: Upon what
may be accepted as indisputable au-
thority, the News is enabled to say
that the telegraphers' strike will
probably end, in Cleveland, at least,
Thursday morning. A request was
sent to J. r. Mattern, local leader of
the strike, for permission to return
to work on Thursday. 1t is said by
persons interested that if the per-
mission is not given by the strike
leaders the men will go back of their
own accord"
Officials of both the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies stat
ed today that any proposition look
ing to reinstatement of all the strik-
ing operators would not be consid-
cred. The officials declared that their
forces had gradually been increasing
during the past few days and that
practically all of the men employed
to take the place of strikers would be
retained. 1t was added that as re-
suit probably not more than third
of the strikers would be reinstated.
