SHAH IN HANDS
Of TRIBESMEN
Wild Men Summoned to Pro-
tect the Thrope Now a
Serious Menace.

st. Petersburg Aug. Especial dis
patches received here from Teheran give
a tragic-comic description of the position
of the shah OF Persia. who is virtually a
prisoner in the hands of wild tribesmen
summoned to Teheran TO protect the
throne against the revolutionists. but who
have become a greater menace to the
monarch than his other foes. The tribes
men are extravagant in their demands
for money which the shah is unable to
grant, and they threaten to destroy the
palace and pillage Teheran. The S25o,009
secured from the Russian bank recently
as a loan on the crown jewels of Persia
already is exhausted. General Liakhoff's
cossacks are unable to make any head
way against the tribesmen. who have re-
fused to permit the shah to leave the
camp at Babe Shakh for Saltanabad.

Famine is reported to be imminent in
southern Persia and this promises to
bring about a crisis in political affairs

Gently arrived cavalry of the shah par
ticipated continued Sunday and that the
revolutionists sustained eeavy losses in
men and some guns.

ence the authorities in deciding to pro-
vide for the isolation of the couple
Mrs. Wardwell has a brother serving
a ten-year sentence in the Yuma pen
itentiary for murder, and Governor
Kibbey has been petitioned to grant him
a pardon under condition that he take
care of his sister.
Woman's Mind Affected.
In addition 20 being a leper, Mrs.
Wardwell's mind is affected. and she is
kept chained TO her bed TO prevent a
recurrence of her escape of some days
age.
Mr.. Wardwell, who is Sc years of
age. is suffering from a cancer. This
adds TO the pathos of the case.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Wardwell was
a patient at the county hospital in
Los Angeles, while her husband was
an inmate of the soldiers home near
that city.
In order to thwart an attempt to
separate them and that he might care
for his wife. the old veteran had her
stealthily removed to this place, her
former home.
The county authorities at once took
charge of the couple and have been
puzzled since to find a way to care for
them.
The title of general was won by Mr..
Wardwell while serving in the Mexican
war against Macmillan.

the committee; Colonel Moses C. Wet

Neither Governor Haskell nor Col

plan for raising a campaign fund, al
though both are confident that the COM
mittee will not lack funds to meet all
legitimate expenses of a lively presi-
Dental fight. While the suggestion has
been made that a fund of half a mil

HUSBAND AFFLICTED WITH CANCER,
WIFE HAS LEPROSY AND IS INSANE
Struggle OF General D. K. WardWe Veteran of Two Wars to
Remain by Side of Suffering Hepmeet.

Tombstone, AriZ., Aug. 9.-The pa
thetic case of General d. X wardwell,
a veteran of the Mexican and civil
wars, and his wife. who is leper. is
in fair way of being disposed of by
the territorial officials. and il is pos
sible that the devotion of the husband
will prevail and he be permitted to
remain by his afflicted wife.
1t is proposed to isolate the couple
near this place and keep them under
the care and treatment of the county
officials. The fact that the form of
leprosy from which the woman is suf-
fering is not communicated by ordi-
nary contact makes this solution of the
problem possible.
Could Not Be Deported.
The federal government was appeal
ed to by the local officials, but il has
replied to the board of supervisors that
there is no law under which the de-
portation of Mrs. Wardwell to the le-
per colony of Molokai can be effect
ed. thus leaving the territorial govern
ment to its own resources.
Governor Kibbey has wired the coun-
ty officials that the territorial super
intendent of health has been ordered
to Tombstone to investigate the case.
