BURGLAR TRAP

l.. D. Goddard, bookkeeper with
the International Improvement Co.,
was the victim ola serious mistake
in which a man named Seekers,
who hold him up about 10 O'Clock
last night at the point of a gun
while he was walking home with a
lady on Fifth aV. near Browne st.
Goddard stepped onto lot
upon which Seekers barn stood
and ran into a string which Seek.
ers had stretched from the barn
door to his home as burglar
alarm because someone few
nights ago entered his barn and
stole a robe. When Goddard's
head struck the string, the alarm
in Seekers house went ting-a-ling.
Seekers then dashed out and con-
fronted Goddard with a revolver.
He kept him there until the po-
lice arrived, and then went away.
Goddard explained as best he could
to the police and a messenger boy
was sent to find Seekers, but could
not. On account OF this Goddard
was kept in the station all night.

edged that he had been hasty and

SHEDS BLOOD
At THE ALTAR
ANARCHIST MURDERS FATHER
HEiNRiCliS AT SACRAMENT
CEREMONY AND BOASTS
THAT HE HOPED TO KILL
THREE OTHER PRIESTS.

DENVER. Feb. 24.-In the act
of administering the sacrament at
St. Elizabeth's church (Catholic)
yesterday, Father Leo Heinrichs
fell, MORALLY wounded by a bullet
fired by Giuseppe Guarnaccio,
The assassin is undoubtedly de-
mented. He knelt between two
women at the altar rail and press
ed the revolver against the priests
side when he fired. The bullet
penetrated the heart and the MUIR
dered man died where he fell with
the exclamation, MY God"
In the confusion the murderer
ran screaming out of the church,
brandishing his revolver. He was
Overtaken by Officer Daniel Crefin
and captured after a struggle in
which he tried to kill the police
man.
In Jail the assassin said that he
was an anarchist and had killed
Father Heinrichs because of his
hatred for all priests. He did not
even know the man he murdered.
He said he had started out in the
morning determined to kill four
priests He claimed that he was
benefiting the workingmen by this
course. 1t was learned that Guar
naccio came from Paterson, n. j.,
the hotbed of anarchy in this
country.
The church was Immediately
closed after the tragedy. Father
Heinrichs was one of the best be-
loved priests in this country. He
had lived in Denver since 1880 and
was ordained in 1901. He had also
lived in Paterson, but his assassin
says he did not know him there.
Guaranaccio was taken from the
Denver Jail to Littleton in an auto
mobile, and thence to Colorado
Springs, to avoid any possibility of
lynching.

1t became necessary to pile out ana

And 1t was HARD work. The

Then it was on again. The dizzy
pace made the icy blasts cut
through clothing like steel knives,

everyone.
Roberts pulled the big Thomas

the De Dion, having gained an hour
on the run. The Brixia-Zust had

EQUAL RIGHTS
CAMPAIGN ON

The woman suffrage campaign
in Spokane was formally launched
Saturday night, and tonight it will
be formally lunched at Mrs. j. G.
Cunningham's home on Riverside
av. Organization of the Spokane
Equal Suffrage association was per-
fected by Mrs. Emma Smith De
Voc, state president of the Wash
ington Equal Rights association
and national organizer for the
equal suffrage movement. The
meeting was held at the chamber
of commerce and was largely en-
dorsed by woman's club members
of the city generally. Speakers of
the evening were Mrs. De Voc and
Mrs. Arkwright Hutton, of this
city. She was formerly a resident
of Idaho, where women vote, and
encouraged the campaign here by
telling of the freedom conferred by
the right to vote. The local branch
starts with the following officers:
President, Mrs. Mary Arkwright
Hutton; first vice president, Mrs.
H. w. Allen; second vice presi-
dent, Mrs. e. Phyllis Carlton; Sec
rotary, Mrs. Nellie COlburn; treas
urer, Mrs. Jessie S. Emery; musi-
cal superintendent, Mrs. j. e. Gun
bingham.
A program of regular meetings
will be arranged and systematic
effort made to increase member
ship and interest in woman's right
to the ballot.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-C. Arthur

bought the London Times, has not

the property. Recently some free
traders, with the idea of getting
the Times to take their side Of
politics, bought some minority

Pearson is a protectionist, and, of
course, aims to make the Times an

is that the free trade leaders are

She Carried a Parcel,

The laugh is on one Of the attend
ants at the Congressional library at
Washington. One Of the rules is that
no one shall be allowed to carry par
eel of any kind into the building. One
day tall young woman appeared at
the door, and when the attendant saw
that she had a parcel under her arm
he told her that it was against the
rules for her to take it with her. She
demurred and pronounced the rule
absurd There were certain parcels
that people should be allowed to carry
with them, and so forth, and so forth.
But the man insisted that he must en-
force the rule and that she would have
to leave the parcel with him until she
came out. That settled it. The young
woman deliberately opened the parcel,
took from it three pairs of black stock
ings that she evidently had just
bought, and, hanging them over her
arm, she gave the attendant the paper

a Pet Bear.


Bears unless hungry or abused are
good natured animals and make anus
ing pets. "When I was in the revenue
service at Alaska said a lieutenant
1--WE had pet bear on the boat, and
we called him Wineska. He used tc
climb to the crosstrees, going up hand
over hand by the ratlines. One day he
ventured out on the yardarm, and
there he stayed We had to get a rope
and haul him down. Once he vaulted
over the head Of our Chinese cook and
went into the lockers, where he helped
himself to sugar and butter. We had 8
tackling made for him, much the same
as harness Of a pet pug, and we
would drop him overheard, with rope
attached, to take his bath. Once he
landed in a native boat and nearly
frightened the occupants out Of thei1
wits. He was as playful as q kitten,
and, although he sometimes disobeyed
he was never treacherous or unkind
When he was lost or hid himself, as he
often did, we would look in the dark
till we saw two little balls of fire.
These were his eyes and gave him

Japanese NemYear Cakes.

An annual event in Japan is the
making of the New Years cake, which
every family must have If good luck
is to follow it during the ensuing year.
This cake is made Of peculiar variety
of rice, boiled and pounded in a great
wooden mortar until it is Of the con-
sistency Of dough. Although the pure
white dough is often colored yellow
or pink, the shape of the cake is al
ways the same-that of the sacred mir
ror, one Of the three sacred symbols Of
the Shinto faith. A piece Of this cake
is offered to the Shinto deities because
it is Of the shape of the sacred mirror
which wooed the sun goddess to come
out of the cave where she had hidden
herself in wrath and thus saved the
land from total darkness. Each mem
Der of the family takes hand in the
manufacture of the New Years cake.
Even the baby is carried out and his
baby hand guided in lifting the heavy
wooden mallet for good luck' blow.
Enough is made to last nearly the
whole year through, and 1t occupies
an important place in the daily MENU

When the Nose RIeeds.

When the nose is bleeding never hold
it over basin or hold the head down
in any way. This only causes further
rush of blood to the broken tissues in
the nose. The head should be held up
and back, the flow being caught in
handkerchiefs or cloths. One Of the
most effective and simple means Of
checking a nosebleed is to press on
the upper lip. Near the undersurface
of the lip runs the artery that supplies
the Interior. nasal passages where the
ruptures occur. If this is pressed, the
flow Of blood is mechanically checked,
thus allowing the blood around the
broken tissues to CONCEAL and seal up
the opening. If merely pressing with
the finger does not succeed, place a
wad of paper under the lip and fold
the lip over it, holding it down tight.
Again, il this does not succeed and a
drug store is near get some adrenalin,
saturate a piece of cotton with it and
apply to the interior of the nose from
where the blood flows.

CROSSING THE BARI &,
Dying Words of Some of the Worlds
Famous Men,


Nothnagel, who died alone in his
room, noted his own symptoms to the
last. A letter to his assistant is said
to have ended as follows: 'Written
late on the evening of July 6 just aft

died Of Qualification Of the arteries"
Traube also made observations on him
self to the very end. Locock expressed
wish to be present at the postmor-
tenn examination on himself, and among
Cuviers last recorded words is a re-
mark, as his fingers twitched involun-
tarily: Charles Bell is right: 'Ce sont

Aberdeen, died Immediately after say
ing to his class, speaking of the next
meeting, which was never to take
place, -Four o'clock on Monday, gen

Several doctors have taken their
leave with a blessing to those around
them. Ashley Cooper's last recorded
words are, God bless you, and goodby
to you allp' He had previously said to
his physicians, Bright and Chambers,
Goods will be done; God bless you
both!' adding, "You must excuse me,
but I shall take no more medicine

"After all, God is very good" The
saddest Of all recorded last words are
probably those of Oliver Goldsmith,
who, when asked by his physician il

passed away with one hand in his

Lastly are mentioned the last words of
Mirabeau, which are said to have been
addressed to a doctor. He wrote on a
slip of paper, which he gave to his
physician, the philosopher Cabanis, the
single word, "Dormir." Another ac-

the doctor: "Were you not my physi-
