New York-A thrilling story of
how a frantic sutton. armed. with

~Stanhope, N. j., to go with him from
Ocean Grove to Asbury Park to be
married under threat of murder, has
been revealed by the girls father, Rev.

The heroism of a brother clergyman
In the middle of the marriage cere-
mony saved the minister's daughter
from harm.
The man in the case, who was driv-
en- almost to insanity through his love
for the beautiful 2~2-year.old girl, Is
Percy c. Bissell Of Stanhope. For
years the man wooed the young wom-
an, but she evinced no inclination to
regard him as more than a friend.
The first time he asked her to marry
him she courteously declined.
In desperation, Rev. Grouse took his
family a short time ago to an Ocean
Grove hotel, where he felt sure they
would be unnolested by Bissell, as he

Loeb Still Denies on Behalf of Roose

Oyster Bay, N. Y.-Because of
the widespread publicity given the
statement of Bishop Berry of De-
troit that either President Roose-
welt or Secretary Loeb, and not Mr..
Fairbanks, was responsible for the
cocktails served at the luncheon ten
Indianapolis, Secretary Loeb issued
this formal statement:

HEDEMOCRATSW|N
HASKELL ELECTED GOVERNOR
OF OKLAHOMA.
PROHIBITION STRONGLY ENDORSED
Result Gives state Two Democratic
Senators and Three Out Of
Five congressman.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Although re-
turns from the election are not
all in, the election of Charles N.
Haskell, democratic candidate for gov
ernor, is assured by a majority OF
from 5000 to 10000. While Frantz,
the present territorial governor and
candidate on the republican ticket,
ran ahead OF his ticket in the larger
cities, the great lead secured by Has
kell in the rural districts and smaller
cities and towns could not be over
come. The election of Haskell insures
the victory of the entire state demo-
cratic ticket.
The constitution of the new state is
ratified by a vote estimated at 3 to l.
Statewide prohibition seems to have
carried. Practically all of the smaller
towns voted for prohibition.
Two Democratic Senators.
The election of a democratic legis-
lature is assured. This will give Ok
lahoma two democratic United States
senators through the ratification of
the nomination of T. p. Gore, the
blind orator, and Robert l.. Owen by
the primary which selected the state
ticket.
In the congressional districts, the
republicans have apparently elected
two out of five congressman. Bird s.
MCGUIRE, republican, is elected in the
First district, and Frank Hubbard, re-
publican, in the Second. The demo
cratic congressman chosen are E. l..
Fulton, Third district; c. D. Carter,
Fourth district, and Scott Ferris,
Fifth.

KING OF SEA TURTLES CAUGHT,
Landed After a Desperate Two-Hours
Fight Near New York.

New York-City islanders have
something new to talk about. 1t
is a sea turtle, the largest that the
oldest inhabitant ever saw, and 1t was
not landed until after two hours fight.
The turtle measures four feet six
inches long, three feet wide, is a FOOT
thick and weighs 269 pounds. Fisher.
men estimate 1t to be at least 200
years old.
Percy Pell of City Island caught the
turtle while fishing for blackfsh

be issued early in October, and that it
will supply material from which Demo-
cratic calculations and maneuvers will
be constructed throughout the period
ending with the national convention
that is to name the presidential ticket.
Mr.. Bryan, it is stated upon high au-
thority, will tell the members of his
party that he would rather not again
be a candidate for the presidency; but
that in view Of the fact that there
seems to be a widespread demand that
he be the democratic standard bearer,
he will accept the nomination If it be
deemed best to give it to him on the
terms he lays down.
There is no positive information at
hand as to the important principles or
policies which MI. Bryan will put
forth SIS his platform. II is assumed
that he will make reference to the
initiative and referendum, but wheth-
err the reference will be in the nature
of demanding the full contamination
of that idea at the present time must
remain a matter of conjecture until
the Nebraskan has spoken.
{. Undoubtedly reference also will be
made to the question Of government
ownership, but from information avail
able it is safe to say that no demand
in favor of the immediate absorption
of public service corporations (prima.
rily the railroads) will be exploited,
The Bryan belief that government
ownership eventually will prove the
only solution of the railroad problem
may ne enunciated with the qualifca
ton that the time for the change has
not yet arrived. In other words, II
may be sought to have it appear that
government ownership is not to be an
issue next year.
Tariff revision, federal versus state
control. the Capitalization Of power
and various other matters that have
occupied the attention of Mr.. Bryan
recently, and which are familiar tc
those who follow hts teachings, will re
ceive special treatment.
