WOMAN HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Had 1t not been for the quick action
of an unidentified man, Mrs. c. HI.
Jarvis of 1860 East Twenty-second
street would have been ground to
death between car and wagon from
the sanitary Dairy company at Tenth
and Main streets last night.
AS it was her back was badly
wrenched and her foot slightly injured.
She was alighting from the car when
the wagon came by at a swift pace and
before she was able to get out OF the
way the wagon wheel had caught
her and thrown her against the
car. The man caught her as she fell
but the driver of the wagon drove on
hurriedly without waiting to inquire
how badly she was hurt. She was able
to go home unassisted.

BUTTE, Mont, May 1.-THE two
bandits who this morning held up the
North Coast Limited at Welch's spur,
numbering Engineer Frank Glow and
wounding Fireman Thomas Sullivan
managed to elude about fifteen officers
securing the mountains in the vicinity
of the holdup today.
Officers returning tonight from the
spur state that the trail was lost by
the prison dogs on road leading to
Butte, where the bandits had sprinkled
a quantity of red pepper, The Off
GERS have a number of spare dogs in
reserve and early tomorrow morning
the scent will be sought.
1t is the impression that the bandits
are making their way to Butte, If they
are not already in the city limits All

the outlaws are supposed to be hiding,

being added bv the announcement this
afternoon of a reward of $4,000 being Of

of officers are on the alert and the be-

make a dash into Butte.
Crawford the tramp, was brought to
Butte tonight and lodged in Jail, pend

GERS are not satisfied that he is telling
the truth. He is held on suspicion that
he was one of the bandits and became
frightened when the shooting began,
remaining with the train instead of
flying with the other two desperadoes.
The officers made an arrest near
Woodville this afternoon, but the sus-
pect was later released, as he failed
to correspond with the description of

WIlIowbrook Man Shoots Himself with
Rifle and Lives Two Days.
coroner's Inquest to Be
Held Today

Despondent on account Of Ill health
and fearing that he would ne yer re-
gain his former strengt,, Joh,l Ender-
son, living at Willowbrook, about one
mile from Compton, Sunday formed a
suicide compact with his wife and an
hour later placed the muzzle of a 22-
caliber rifle against his forehead and
fired bullet into his brain. His body
was found in the bath room of his res
idence by his wife who had heard the
shot fired.
Mrs. Anderson is said to have ad-
rnitted that she had promised to kill
herself also, but said she did not have
the nerve to do SO.
Anderson was unconscious when
found and lived until yesterday morn
ing when he died at his residence. The
body was taken to Garrett's undertake
ing establishment in this city and a
coroner's inquest will be held there
today.
Anderson has lived at Willowbrook
for several years. He has always been
strong and hearty. About three months
ago he became i'll and it was necessary
for him to come to the county hos
pital for treatment. At the hospital
an operation to remove a tumor was
performed, but Anderson did not re-
gain his strength and after returning
to his home found it was necessary
to again return to the hospital. Last
Friday he left the county hospital and
went to his home.
Makes Suicide Pact
He then told his wife that he did
not believe that he would ever be
strong again. Mrs. Anderson has also
been ill for some time and he pro-
posed that both end their lives so that
they would not be separated Mrs.
Anderson is said to have pleaded with
him not to kill himself, but to have
at last said that if he died she would
have nothing further to live for and
would die also.
Sunday morning Mrs. Anderson was
in the yard talking to a neighbor. She
heard a shot and something fall The
two women rushed into the house and
found Anderson lying on the floor with
bullet wound in his head.
The man had placed the butt OF the
small rifle against the wall OF the bath
room, placed the muzzle against his
head and pressed the trigger. Ander-
son was a carpenter.
The couple had no children and
owned the small ranch on which they
| lived.

CATSEYE

knowingly, and the big black tail seemed
to wag as If in sympathy with the gala
scene in which the feline was taking so
stood out almost two feet, and his back
was arched ten feet above the beautiful
maidens, who rode at his feet. Around
the cats neck was tied a. monster bow.
The great arched back the legs, the face
and the big bushy tail; which stood
straight out, were marked with line of
little electric lights.
The base of the float, with it's fair
cargo of sweet maidenhood, was even
more attractive and beautiful, Great
masses of yellow roses were piled with
reckless profusion here, there and every
where. Pearly circles and ovals of the
same beautiful color ,ornamented the
sides and extremities of the wonderful
creation of the artist. Electric lights. of
yellow and white lit up the entire tloat
with the beauty and splendor of noon

Polytechnic Boys outriders
Preceding and following their precious
cargo of beauty were four manly felloWs
from the Polytechnic high school Rid
of yellow and blue thrown over their
shoulders, the boys looked the part of
medieval knights guarding the splendid
equippage Of some lady fair, ohorr,

paws of the big cat sat the captain OF the
float, Miss Emily Bendel. Smiling. and
bowling graciously to the swarming thou
sands whose applause rent the air. she
formed a fitting figure to lead TINS novel
and beautiful float.
Seated by the hind legs of the animal
and f1anked on either side by a great

with innumerable yellow lights. formed
the resting place of the rest o fthe maid

The introducer has been studying
this Hydrangea carefully for three
seasons and is convinced that it is an
ornamental plant of the greatest value.
1t is unquestionab1y sport from our

thriftily, and the stock on the market

Those who have had it longest in
cultivation call it ''Everblooming," to
distinguish it from Hydrangea pani-

the same locality; and "American
EverblOOming' would be exceedingly
appropriate, as we'll as eminently de-
scriptive.
The profusion of bloom of this new
Hydrangea is very unusual There
have been counted 100 good trusses
on one plant -trusses 7 I-2 inches in

when cut, keep in good condition
long time. This feature will make the
plants especially useful to florists.

AMERICAN "EVERBLOOMIN
HYDRANGEA.
Hydrangea Arborescens Sterilis.

Mr.. Joseph Meehan, in his regular
weekly notes for the Florists Ex-
change, furnishes a description of this
plant If it should prove to be able
to stand our summer climate, it would
be a valuable addition to our list Of
towering shrubs:
Description which follows is by the
introducers, the E. Y. Teas Co., Gen.
terville, Ind.
This new American Hydrangea is
believed to be the most beautiful
hardy Towering shrub introduced dur
ing the last twenty years. 1t was
found growing wild in the rocky hills
Of Western Pennsylvania several
years ago, and finally was introduced
into Central Ohio by Mrs Mary Kel-
ley when she removed from Pittsburg
many years ago. From this introduce
ton numerous plants have been grown
and planted in that locality, so that
many plants are now growing three
to eight years old, and blooming pro-
fusely from early June till toward All
tu1nn frosts. At this writing, the
old and popular Hydrangea paniculata
grandiflora, which up to now has been
one of the most popular Towering
shrubs, has not opened a single PAN
icle of bloom, while the new form has
been in magnificent bloom for more
than two months.
The plant, which attains height OF
five or six feet, with near the same
breadth, is Of a far more graceful
habit than the old form; with large
trussess of beautifully formed flowers
of dazzling whiteness, rendering this

Phoenix Palms.

In your issue of September 4th, is

The Date Palm grows we'll enough III
Florida, it is ornamental but useless
for fruit. In Ormond are lew trees
from date stones. Raised III this way
three or four will prove male to one
female tree There is no trouble about
the towering and fruit setting, but we
have never succeeded in r1penlng the
oates satisfactorily. After setting, the
frult gradually rots and falls off. The
trouble seems to be that Florida sum-
mers are too cool and damp. The
Date Palm will withstand a quite low
temperature in winter, being rather
haroler than the orange, but to bear
good fruit it requires an arid hot
summer, climates where the maximum
mercury will for weeks register 10
degrees to I2o degrees in the shade.
For this reason it is success in Ar1-
zona but on the Atlantic slope rarely
bears good fruit. Even in the West
Indies it is said to be failure as a
fruit tree. In Ormond for ornament
we prefer Phoenix sylvestrls, T. tenu1s
and P. CanariensiS. These do not

are much more ornamental than 2.

for this variability, they have to OBJ

and those seed are understood to be
collected largely from trees grown in
the South Of Europe and North Africa,
where they have intermixed with other
species. One enterprising Florida
nurseryman informed me he sent to
India for the genuine seed, but for
some reason the resultant trees were
spurious suckering and somewhat ten

being of more open habit than Cana
riensis and of grayer green.
P. Canariensis.-This has been SO
frequently described in your columns
that it seems useless to give further
details, suffice it to say it is one of the
fastest growers of any of the hardy
Palms adapted to Central Florida. It
is distinguished from sylvestris by it's
more massive trunk, broader fronds
and is live1ier, deeper green.
