BRACE BANDITS
LEAVE RED TRAIL
The Streets Of Boston Suburb
Are Strewn With Dead
and Dying.
REFUGE IN A CEMETERY
After Shooting Eleven Persons Des-
peradoes Are Surrounded and
Driven to Bay in Graveyard.
Looked Like Italians.

Boston, July 23.-Eleyen persons
were shot last night, one of them
dying later, and two being fatally
wounded by two desperadoes, who
on being pursued by policemen and
a crowd of citizens, fled two miles
through thickly settled district of
Jamaica Plains, firing madly right
and left and disappearing in the
woods near Franklin park. The men
are believed to have been two of
the gang of three who robbed a sa-
loon in Jamaica Plains Tuesday
night after shooting and killing one
man and wounding two others. The
dead man is Herbert E. Knox, night
watchman at the Forest Hill ceme-
terry
Mrs. Della Fallon is one of the
most seriously injured Of last nights
/ victims. She was standing in front
! of her home with her baby in her
arms when the two men, pursued by
a crowd, came down the street. AS
/ they passed her, one of them fired
ard the bullet entered her head be-
hind her right ear She was removed
to the city hospital in a critical con
dition.
Edward Mcmahon, a Dorchester
patrolman, received bullet in the
stomach and both ne and Mrs. Fal
1 Ion are expected to fi,e.
| 1t is believed that the deperadoes
lay concealed in Cavalry GENE
terry yesterday while the police were
hunting them on account of Tuesday
nights holdup and robbery. Being
driven from their hiding place by
| hunger and fearing that they would
be surrounded by the police, who
were searching the neighborhood, the
two men appeared on Charles street
in Jamaica Plains at about dusk and
/ proceeded to shoot up the town.
! They looked like Italians and were
/ roughly dressed.
/ Some citizens who had been as
sisting in the hunt for the robbers
/ saw the men and tried to intercept
them, whereupon the two began run
ming and with revolver in each
hand, fled along Charles, South, Lee
and Keyes streets, FIR ng at every
person In their path. Mrs. Fallon was
the first mark of the murderous
weapons. Officer Ihsslls was shot
next and then Messis Moore, Flynn,
McGinn, Nolan and Fleming and on
Ger Cox we're sho-. during the fight
OF the men to Franklin park.
At ] 1 o'clock the chase had pass
ID beyond the pa k scuthwa, d. A re-
port was received that the party had
been seen near the corner of Nor
ton and Canterbury streets and a
squad of police was hurried there in
automobiles.
| The police surrounded Forest Hill
cemetery after learning that the fu-
gitivss had escaped from Franklin
park. Three hundred officers under
the direction of Superintendent
Pearce were strlng around the out
side of the cemetery while a hundred
more aided by calcium searchlights
furnished by the FIRE department. ex.
plored the interior. The officers were
confident that they had the men sur
| rounded there.

an ideal retreat for desperadoes and

an ideal retreat for desperadoes and
cattle thieves.
Deputy Sheriff Guerra, who cap
tured Cabrera, the slayer of Judge
Stanley Welch, accidentally ran
onto the thieves Sunday morning and
got close enough to recognize who
the men are. They are all well known
Mexican desperadoes. The thieves
had Deputy Guerra covered before
he knew it and to save his life he
had to beat hasty retreat. Two ran
gers from Captain Ross company
and three or four deputies are now
in pursuit Of the, thieves and if they
are overtaken there will no doubt be
big fight, as the thieves are known
to be desperate men.

THE LONGEST BALLOT EVER USED
Interesting Facts About the Ballot for
Primary Election Saturday.

The longest ballot ever used in
or final, and very probably the long
est ever used in any election in the
world, is that which will be handed
out to the democratic voters of Texas
at the primary election of next Sat
urday. July 25, at the close of cam
paign which has several unique fea-
lures, and in which must interest
has been manifested.
There are at the present time 506,-
Isl qualified voters in Texas, figur-
ed upon the basis of poll tax pay
ments, and it is probable that about
1926, 900 of these will vote in the
democratic primary election. 1t seems
likely that the counting of the vote
will proceed slowly. 1t may be Mon
day or Tuesday before the result in
some of the contests for state offices
is known. Returns from the county
VIII be received at this office Satur-
day, but on account Of the length of
is completed in the larger boxes be-
fore Monday.
In this primary election four of the
candidates for state off1ces-treasur-
er, commissioner of agriculture, one
of the judges of the court of GRIMM
al appeals and a Judge of the su-
preme court--are without oposition
For the other eight state offices to be
filled by popular vote there are nine
teen candidates, five of them stand
! ing for single office, that of con-
troller. Eleven judges of the courts
of civil appeals are to be elected. and
for these places there are fourteen
candidates.; the only contests are for
! one place in the sixth district, for
which there are two candidates.
| Also upon the state ticket portion
| of the ballot there are the PROPOSE
tions for and against the submission
OF constitutional amendment for
statewide prohibition, and the prop
ositions for and aSainsta aaaaaI option.
In eight OF the congressional dfstricts
the presnt encumbents are Sheppard,
Russell, Hardy Gregg, Burgess. Bur-
leson, Stephens and Slayden without
opposition. In the other eight dis
tricts, Cooper, Randell. Beall. Moore,
Henry, Garner and Smith each have
an opponent, and Gillespie has two
opponents.
For the 149 legislative places to
be hlled this year there are about
800 candidates.
Interest in the campaign centers
chiefly In the contests for governor.
for attorney general. and on the pro-
hibition propositions. and also in
some OF the legislative contests, prin-
cipally because of these propositions.
| The total vote to be cast for COVER
nor in the approaching primary, as
already indicated in the foreKoing.
probably will be considerably larger
| than that of 1906, at which time
2S4, ,106 votes were cast for the four
candidates for governor, divided as
follows: Campbell, 90.345; Bell, S.
16S; Colquitt, 6S.529; Brooks, TO-
064.

High School Notes.

The political debate between the SEN
ior and junior boys on last Monday af-
ternoon was one of the best in the his
tory Of our school
The con estants certainly showed ex
eellent preparation, they delivered
their addresses with admirable dignity
and their arguments were strong and
to the point. 1t was close debate and
the seniors won by only three
points of l400 total. The judges were
Messrs. Brkins, RegenDitter and Rev.
Father McCabe. An appreciative au
dience was in attendance.

was almost unanimous. The election of

of the other members OF the staff will
be made in few days. An active sub
scription and advertising campaign ~ill
be made next week and it is hoped that
the citizens of Idaho Springs viii attest
their loyalty to the High School, by
their liberal patronage.

a victory for our team. We were han

ramous Man Moves West

r. A. Booster has come to Denver to
make his home, Booster is probably
one of the most interesting men Of the
age and it was a fortunate day for
Colorado when he travelled west.
In appearance Mr.. Booster is built on
the large plan, reminding one a little OF
Taft. He has loud cheerful laugh,
cordial handshake and fairly radiates
enthusiasm. When Booster is for
thing-his opponent might as well give
up. That is the reason why he has met
with such remarkable success. His
enemies call him ''hot air merchant
but his kind of hot air runs steam
engine.
Booster has settled himself on what
was once hotel on 18th street. Al
though the place still retains the name
1.-The Albany"-it is now Boosters
own home. Booster is q regular hu-
man ''Welcome" and anybody who is q
