and ran away. The surry was over

and Miss Mills were caught under
meath. Mr.. and Mrs. Mills werethrown
clear OF the tangle, and Mr.. Mills seized
the reins.
After the surry had been dragged
a hundred yards with its pinioned cap
tivss, Mills partly checked the run
away team. Just then Mr.. Parker and
Delaney Nico1l, of New York, whirled
up the road in an automobile. AL
most before the machine was stopped,
Mr.. Parker leaped from the tonnsau
and seized the horses bits. The ami
mails were brought to q s%tandst1ll and
the three bruised occupants Of the
surry were liberated. All we're put in
Mr.. Parker's automobile and taken

woMAN's BODY in RIVER.
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Has Sensation SINH.
lar to the Case of Madlyn Clayton.

~ Il - q
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Jan. 27.-Slain by
an unknown degenerate and her body
thrown from the high bridge into the
torrents of Rock river is believed to
have been the fate of Miss Josephine
Malone of this city. Her body was
found floating in the waters at the
identical spot where the body of Mad.
Ign Clayton, the unfortunate Chicago
show girl, was found six weeks ago.
Chief of Police Appleby is now
working on double murder mystery.
The similarity of the crimes presents
battling situation and opens anew in
terest in the Clayton case.
Two theories only are tenable. One,
that degenerate is roaming in this
part Of Wisconsin, possessed of
mania for Staying comedy women. This
is the one on which Chief of Police
Appleby is working.
The other is that some enemy at
tackled her on her way home, and re-
Numbering the long time which
elapsed between the killing of Madlyn
Clayton and the finding of her body,
chose that as the spot in which to con-
ceal the evidence of his crime Miss
Malone is said to have had no enemies,
therefore the authorities regard both
crimes as the work of one man.

PITCHER SAVES LIFE OF GIRL.
Bullet Fired by Accident Warded or

Oakland, GAIA granite iron choco-
late pot probably saved the life Of
Agnes Snow, chocolate dipper enr
ployed at candy factory. The uten-
Sill acted as foil between her and a
bullet accidentally fred from the office
of an electrical company.
Miss Snow was at work in the fac
tory when a steel-capped bullet sud
denly thudded against the pot of choc-
olate which she was carrying in front
of her. Immediately there was
sound of three other shots, a panic be-
ing created among the employees of the
factory, many of whom are girls.
A telephone call was sent to Police
headquarters. Detectives investigated
the case and traced the course of the
bullets from the electrical concerns
place Of business. Nobody there would
shed any light on the subject Then
the detectives recovered one of the
bullets, and little investigation fur
nished the information that a revolver
using such projectiles had been sold
by the proprietor of the electrical
concern. Then the detectives found
that Houston had been examining the
weapon, when an employee volunteered
to show him how to work it, with the
result that four shots were accidental
~ fired. No arrests were made

NAB LONG SOUGHT BANDITS
SICILY YIELDS UP MuRDERERs
AND ROBBERS.
Band Of italians Accused of Killing
Driver and Looting Paymas-
te's Funds.

Messina, Sicily, Jan. 24.-The hold.
ing-up at Portage, Pa, several years
ago of a paymaster named Campbell
by band of Italians when a driver
named Hay was killed and Campbell
was wounded found an echo here in
the arrest of three men who are de-
clared to have been accomplices in
the crime. The mems names are Car
melo Cavalli, Rosario Degrazio and
Giuseppe Felormo. Search for these
men had been going on for many
months. In spite of the fact that they
went disguised and by this means
constantly changed their appearance,
they were finally located by the police
and Swallowed. All three gathered to-
gether in a house near here. The po-
lice then came down on them, and
the house was surrounded by cara
bineers. After all precautions had
been taken six policemen forced their
way into the room where the men
were. There was desperate fight,
but the men were outnumbered and
were quickly forced to surrender,
There were no casualties. Another ac-
complete in the hold-up named Fran
cesco Imbesi was arrested here sew
eral months ago.
Philadelphia, Jan. 24.-Arrests in
the case of the hold-up Of a paymaster
at Portage, Pa, several years ago, in
which one man was killed and another
wounded, have been expected to be
made for more than six months. The
robbery occurred on July 80, 1904,
while Patrick Campbell of Portage,
Pa, paymaster Of the Puritan Coal
Company, and his driver. Charles
Hays, were driving in a buggy with
about $4,000 in gold and greenbacks
intended for the payment of the min
ers at the Puritan mines.

there are nearly 200 persons by the
name of Yoder, all thrifty farmers Of

inhabit that section of the county that
those of the same Christian name
have to have some other appellation
to distinguish one from the other.
For instance, there are numerous
Johns, and in order to specify one
from the other, three have been given
nicknames Of colors of the rainbow
that correspond to the hue Of their
whiskers-"R Red John" BLACK john

cry from the San Julia
Prison.

London, Jan. Pa dispatch has
been received here from Lisbon saying
that DR.. Farmano Lopez, who was con-
blow up Premier Franco with a bomb,
made daring escape Friday from the
San Julia prison, a strong fortress
at the mouth of the Tagus river. Be
cause of the high social position of
Dr.. Lopez permission was given a par
ty of his friends to visit him in pris-
on. This party went to the fortress
in motor car. As the automobile
drew up in front of the prison ter
rife explosion was heard. The COM
mander of the prison, after brief in
vestigation, ordered that the party be
detained, and guards were placed
around the fortress. A further ex-
animation was then made, but no ex-
PLANTATION of the explosion could be
found. The visitors were then allowed
to depart in their motor car. 1t was
learned later that during the confus-
ion following the explosion some one
had tossed keys to DIR. Lopez through
the grating of the window in his cell.
With these he unlocked the door and
joined his friends. He is supposed to
have gone away in the motor car dis
guised with heavy-rimmed motor
glasses and big coat. The entire
staff of the fortress including the com
mander has been arrested on suspi-
cion of accepting bride to permit the
escape of the prisoner. and a reward
has been offered for the rearrest Of DR..
Lopez.
The transmission of the following
dispatch was permitted by the author
tiles after due censorship: Lisbon
was filled Friday with disturbing ru-
mors. but there were no new develop
ments in the abortive attempt of two
nights ago to overthrow the monarchy
and proclaim Portugal republic. The
police have visited all the newspaper
offices in Lisbon and forbidden the
publication of anything concerning the
men arrested. The prisoners were In

son of New York, but which have
fallen into the hands of man pur.
porting to be his representative. In
letter to George Hollamby bruce
Miss Paterson said she had several
letters written by T. G. bruce to her
mother in which bruce referred to
himself as the duke of Portland.
George Hollamby bruce sent Miss
Paterson money to come to England,
but according to her later letters q
man representing himself as an agent
of George Hollamby Druce's solicitor
called on her and got the letters. The
solicitor is anxious now to find the
letters, as he says they are necessary
in the defense of Miss Robinson.
Miss Mary Robinson, said to be an
American woman, the daughter of a
southern planter, testified during the
progress of the bruce case that she
knew bruce as the duke of Portland,
that Charles Dickens told her that
bruce was the duke of Portland and
that bruce himself afterward con.
irmed the statement. Miss Robinson
was arrested January IL on warrant
charging her with perjury.
