continues to grow in bitterness as the

today, to extend through tomorrow,
Party men here today declare that

to vindication of his course in Wash

SENSATIONS
Are Thrice Sprung in the
Gould Divorce C0nspir.
aCy Case

~ ~ 6
New York, N. Y, July 24.--With
Frank Jay Gould, the millionaire, in
court, the hearing of the alleged con-
spiracy to manufacture divorce evil
dence against him, was begun this
afternoon. There were three SEN
sational developments in the case.
The first came when lawyer Carpo,
who is defending Miss J. Fleming,
announced that his client had made
confession. The second came when
the lawyers for the defense said that
they intended to show that Miss
Mable McCauslan the milliner's ap-
prentice, who accuses the prisoners
of having bartered with her to sign
an affidavit against Mr. Gould, had
gone to Mrs. Ben Teal with the story
that she had evidence against Mr..
Gould which she wanted to tell to
Mrs. Gould's lawyer and she thought
Mrs. Teal could tell her who to go
to-. The other sensation was the an
nouncement that Miss Fleming, who
is still prisoner in the Tombs, is
to be married tomorrow. The case
was adjourned until Tuesday.

ting Them.

Mapleton, N. D., July 24.-The
store OF H. H. Otis was burglarized
Thursday morning about 2 o'clock by
Two robbers. Shortly after gaining an
entrance from the wareroom to the
main building the men. were noticed
by Night Marshal Langley, who imme-
diately opened fire on them from a
side window of the building. This
had the effect of making them beat a
hasty exit, which they did by smash
ing plate glass window in the front
of the store. While breaking through
this the marshal followed up with a
second attempt to shoot but his gun
failed him and they got away.
Deputy Sheriff Ross and the chief
of police at Casselton were phoned
for and were soon on the scene. A
posse was formed and search insti-
tuted, but up to a late hour today
no definite clue has been obtained.
Besides the taking OF some wearing
apparel, some loose change from the
cash drawer and the breaking OF the
plate window, no other damage was
done.

THE WISE POLITICIAN

Grafton Record: There are certain
politicians who remind one strongly
of the weather prophet. Nothing ever
happens in weather, but what the
weather prophet can prove to you that
he predicted it. As he predicts some
thing or other for every second or
third day of the year, he can't miss it
very far. And the politician who
talks great deal and covers i lot Of
territory, whenever anything political
happens, can always show that he said
It would happen, or that it ought to
happen. Like the weather prophet.
he claims credit for his hits and says
nothing about HIS misses.

tically delirious. The officials ran
out and expostulated with him, but
apparently he was afraid that they
were trying to deceive him, and he
fought to go to the left. At length
he turned about and started on the
right path along the track.
Then followed an exhibition never
to be forgotten by anyone who wit
messed it. He staggered along the
cinder path like a man in a dream,
his gait being neither walk or a
run, but simply a founder, with arms
shaking and legs tottering. s< -,
Dorando staggered on towards the
turn and dropped to the ground,
Immediately a crowd Of track Of
ficials and followers swarmed about
him, and it was evident that the man,
with undaunted courage, had run
himself to the very limit of human
endurance. } None expected to see
him rise, for haggard and drawn,
he had fallen like good soldier,
when the last degree of vitality was
exhausted. According to the rules of
the race physicians should have TAX
en- him away, but the track officials,
lost in their sympathy for the man,
and for such an effort, lifted him to
his feet, and with their hands at his
back gave him support. Four times
Dorando fell in the three hundred
yards that separated him from the
finish, and for three times after the
doctors had given him stimulants,
he dragged himself to his feet and
was finally pushed across the line
with one man at his back and one
holding him up. His part in the
race for all practical purposes, was
ended when he entered the stadium,
for unless he had had assistance
he could not have finished.
While this pathetic scene was be-
ing enacted the American, Hayes,
entered the stadium comparatively
fresh and trotted around. He came
in less than a minute behind Doran-
do, but in the excitement of the
moment failed to get even from his
own country the reception he de-
served.
1t is a question whether public
opinion will ever support another
Marathon race here. Dorando's con-
ditaon when he finished, and the
condition of many Of the contestants
in the event leads people to think it
is even worse than a prize fight or a
bull fight.
Happiness returned to the American
camp tonight, and officials, athletes,
and everyone in any way connected
with the team are celebrating the
great victory won by Hayes in the
Marathon. They have forgotten all
the troubles of the past two weeks
in this moment Of triumph.
Is Department Store Clerk.
New York, N. T., July 24.-Hayes,
the winner of the Marathon race to-
day, is 81 years old and is employed
in a New York department store.
He is a member of the Irish Anaeri-
can Athletic club.
