TAKES RIDE AMONG CLOUDS.
California Farmer Caught Up From
Earth by Balloon.

San Jose, Cal, Sept. S.-A balloon
ascension at Alum Rock Park, Sun
day afternoon, came near ending ia
tally for Fred Biaggi, prune ranch
or living near Alviso 1t seems that
Biaggi had boosted to a number OF
women friends that he was not afraid
to go up in the balloon, so, as the
balloon was cut loose, he rushed to
the spot and proceeded to get himself
tangled up in the ropes. The aero
naut yelled to him to keep clear, the
women screamed and there was a
general panic AS the balloon shot
upward Biaggi struggled to free him
self, but not until he was 80 far up
in the air that 1t was impossible for
him to drop and he was forced to
hang on for dear life.
At an altitude of some $500 feet
the professional balloonist cut loose
in his parachute and descended safe
ly, but Biaggi was carried up and
out of sight Then a wind caught
the balloon and carried IT far over
the hills. 1t WAS nearly an hour be-
fore a rescuing party found the
rancher. Miraculously he was un-
injured. He had held onto the ropes
until the balloon let him reach the
ground without a scratch.

FARMER IS KILLED;
HIS HOME BURNED
MURDERER TRIES TO CONCEAL
CRIME BY BURNING BODY
OF VICTIM.
Woman Says lamp Which Husband
Carried Exploded, but Fails to
Explain Wound in Head.

Lewiston, Idaho, Sept. S.-That J.
M. Bachus was foully murdered on
his own doorstep and his home fired
to cover the crime, Is now absolutely
certain as an examination of the
charred and almost unacceptable
body shows that the young Clifford
farmer was shot, probably with a
rife, the bullet entering the back of
the neck and ranging upward
through the neck, finally ploughing
its way through the skull over the
eye of the murdered victim.
Mystery still surrounds the case,
and no light has been shed on 1t by
officials who remain reticent.
Coroner Clyde Vassar returned
from the scene of the murder Sun
day, but declined to give any de-
tailed account of the inquest further
than to state that Bachus was I'M
doubtedly murdered No arrests have
been made.
That Mrs. Bachus, the 22-year-old
wife of the murdered man, will yet
reveal something which officials be-
lieve is untold. is expected. She
steadfastly declares that Bachus was
carrying a lamp which exploded, but
gives no explanation of the presence
OF bullet in her husbands brain.
The extreme reticence of all con-
nected with the case shows that more
evidence is being sought.

ASKS LARGER ARMY.
Roosevelt's Final Annual Message
VIII Make Appeal.

Warrington, Sept s.-President
Roosevelt, in his final annual mes
sage to Congress. probably will rec
ommend an increase in the numerii
cal strength of the army to at least
100000 men. At present the army
is on a footing of $4,000 men, the
number provided for in time of peace.
To the general stan 1t has become
evident, in the last two years, that
$4,000 men are too few properly to
garrison the posts at which 1t Is nee
essary to maintain an army force.
These posts include the garrisons In
the insular possessions of America.
The law provides that the army
may be Increased to 100, 900 men In
time of need. This provision In the
opinion of military experts is likely
to prove a serious handicap to the
army IL absolute necessity should
arise for larger force.
1t is expected that the President
will recommend In his message an In
crease of the army by the addition OF
at least ten regiments of infantry.
Ave regiments of cavalry and several
companies of coast artillery.

Neither Upper Nor Lower River Cam
ners Satisfied With LEGISLATION.

Portland, Or. Sept. S.-Endless
complications. resulting in expensive
litigation. are certain to follow the
announced intention of H. c. Nc
Allister, Oregons Master Fish War
den, strictly to enforce the provisions
of the two initiative bills enacted by
the voters of his state last June.
Fishermen along the river have de-
clared that they will not observe the
laws, Notwithstanding the fact that
scores of warning notices have been
posted at available points on the
river by the Master Fish Warden. If
arretsed, they threaten to carry the
laws into the courts for legal opin
ion as to the constitutionality of
these statutes.
By the terms of the bill proposed
by the Lower River fishermen, all
fishing in the Columbia River above
the mouth of the Sandy is prohibited
except by hook and line, after Sep
TENDER 10. This bill virtually puts
the wheelmen, operating on the Up
per Columbia, out of business, as 1t
was INTENDED TO 90. ne measure
proposed by the Up-River wheelmen
and enacted by the people of the state
places serious limitations on the OPP
erations of the gillnetters on the
Lower River. Formerly the closed
season prevailed from August q to
September 10, and after the latter
date fishing was allowed as long as
any were caught up TO March Is,
when there was closed spring sea-
son of 80 days. But under the new
law, fishing on the Lower River is
allowed only from September 10 to
October l, when the closed season is
to be enforced for the ensuing three
months, or until December 81. Sal
mon may then be taken until March
IS, when the spring closed season
begins and continues until April Is.
Wheelmen and gillnetters alike
will resist the enforcement of the two
laws enacted by the people last June.
Both classes OF fishermen hold state
licenses, which do not expire until
March 81, next.

BAD LOAN MAKES HIM WEALTHY
Chicago Mans Mortgage Covers
Quicksilver Mine.

Chicago, Sept. 8.-H. e. Perry, of
United States, for he saw bad debt
grow into 100000. Several years
ago Mr.. Perry was forced to take
two sections of land near Terlingua,
Texas, on a mortgage. Situated 100
miles from the nearest railroad, in
a region mountainous and barren of
vegetation, it was hardly fit for goat
grazing. One day, some time after
the first discovery of quicksilver in
the Terlingua district, a Mexican
goatherder accidentally came across
an outcropping of the cinnabar ore
land. The ore, when tested, proved
to be rich in quicksilver, running as
high as 40 per cent.
One day Mr.. Perry was agreeably
surprised to receive a letter at his
office in Chicago offering him $50, 900
cash for his 1880 acres. He had con-
sidered the land worth not to exceed
$1,000 and the letter was mystery
to him. The writer did not say what
had caused the enormous increase in
value, so Perry investigated and
learned that he had one of the most
valuable quicksilver mines in the
world. He is now working it and 1t
Is valued at upward of 100000.
During the time that II has been
operated quicksilver to the value OF
about $4,000 a month has been ex-
tracted with a ten-ton furnace.
