WITH GIRL FOR SHIELD
HOLDS CROWD AT BAY.
Baked In Demand for $4,000,
California Desperate Carries
or Stoekman's Daughter.

Fresno, Cal, July 1.-Uslng the
body of the girl he had kidnapped from
her fathers house as shield for his
own body, Cleveland Rogers, held the
posse that had run him down, at bay
for half an hour yesterday, before
finally surrendering himself and the
girl. The GIRL Eana Domengine, l6
years old, daughter Of wealthy
stockman Of Coalinga, has been re-
turned to her parents.
Walked from sound sleep by the
sound OF the firing Of a dozen rifle
shots In the yard Of her ranch home
in the foothills Of the coast range,
she stumbled out into the night to
find herself staring into the muzzles
Of two threatening rifles held by
pair Of desperados.
Her father and mother had preced-
ed her, and they stood with hands up.
The whole scene was lighted by the
glare Of a burning barn, which the
bandits had fired.
Glad only in her night dress, the
young girl stood terrified, staring at
the grotesque scene which met her
eyes. AS she watched, before she had
time to realize what was happening,
two Of her fathers ranch hands came
running to the spot. Instantly one OF
the bandits ordered them to throw up
their hands.
Tony L0veall, the leader Of the
pair, broke in on the gaze Of the party.
In the name OF his pal and himself
this man demanded $1,000 from Do
mengine, who declared there was no
money in the house. Rogers there
uyon forced the young girl to guide
him through her home, pointing out
the places where the family kept
their plate and other valuables.
When the search revealed nothing,
the rufiians dragged her into the yard
once more, and, harnessing one Of the
rigs belonging to Domenglne, bundled
Edna into the buggy and drove off
into the night.
Domengine made bis way to Coal
inga and spread the alarm. Immed-
lately several posses started and at
4:30 yesterday afternoon Rogers was
overtaken at Jacks Springs. He fired
two shots, but seeing the armed oil
men and officers swarming in, he gave
up. He and the girl were brought to
town in an automobile. A big crowd
gathered and would have lynched
Rogers had not Sheriff Chiltenden
pleaded with them not to take the
law into their own hands. Loveall
managed to escape, Kiss Domengine
said the men offered no afrront to
her.

AUTOMOBILE GUSTS HACK
Old Boone County Stage Makes
Last Trip over Route.

Columbia, Mo-, July 2,-Jack Quinn's
overland hack from Ashland to Col
umbia, line which has operated con-
tinuously for thirty-five years, made
its last trip last night, the new auto
mobile line established by the Mid
Missouri Transportation Company hav-
ing taken all the profit out Of the busl-
ness.
The Ashland hack carried the Unit
ed States mail until the mail roate
was superseded by the rural routes
two or three years ago. The loss Of
the mail route cut off much Of the
profit in the business, but the over
land hack still made its daily trips,
taking daily papers to farmers along
the line who paid for the service, de-
liverlng packages and doing shopping
for the housewives Of the countryside,
carrying an occasional passenger and
keeping the villages Of Ashland, Deer
Park and Pierpont In touch with the
outside world.l

Nearly Everything is in Readiness
For the Quest OF the North
Pole.

New York, July a. Commander
Robert E. Peary, arctic explorer, will
make another attempt to find the
north pole. The steamer Roosevelt,
built for him by the Peary Arctic
Club, which carried him and his party
to the far north on the latest expedi-
tion, will cast Of its moorings at the
foot OF east Iwenty-fourth street
Monday and begin its northward voy.
age.
Commander Peary will not leave
New York with the ship, but will 60
by rail to join bis party at Sydney,
Cape Breton, where the Roosevelt
will stop to coal.
Everything is arranged for the
trip" said Mr. Peary today, Except.
ing that about s5, 900 is needed to com.
plete the fund for equipment. 1 am
hopeful the amount will be raised be-
fore leave"
Mr.. Peary's plan, aside from his ex'
pectation of placing the Stars and
Stripes at the north pole, include re-
searches into the north coasts Of
Grantland and Greenland. He will
follow practically the same route he
did on his previous trip, but his tao
tics will be different and he will utll-
ize the drift method" so the moving
ice will not carry him beyond the line
OF his goal.
Eskimos and dogs will be taken
aboard IN the Whale Sound region as
before, and Commander Peary will
endeavor to force the Roosevelt to the
same or similar winter quarters on
the north side Of Grantland as In the
winter OF 1905.06.

REFERRING to the race for United
States Senatorship In Missouri the
Jefferson City Democrat edltorially
says: Every day but adds to Folks
majority in the senatorial primary.
Folk is going all over the state, push.
ing Democratic principles to che front
and standing upon the record Of things
done by him In the service of his par.
ty and his state. He makes q singing
Democratic speech wherever he goes,
and breaches the democracy OF service;
he gives a reason for the faith that Is
in him, and proves his faith by his
works. Religious faith without
works is dead" as the Bible tells us;
and Democratic faith without works
is a fraud and false pretense as we all
know. That Folk has made good,
everybody knows; and 1t is now for the
Democratic party to endorse or repu-
diate the record he has made. The
Democratic party will endorse the
record. 1t cannot logically and con-
slstently do otherwise.
