was a marked man from the time he
arrived here last August It is be-
lieved the plot to kill him was laid
even before he left Paterson, New

of Police Michael Delaney 1t is hoped
that at least thirty anarchists in va
rious parts of the country will be
placed under arrest within few
days. Chief Delaney said today:
I'VE have traced Alio and his band
from the stone quarries Of southern
Italy and located most of them In the
towns where they now live. After
going to Spain and South America
they came to this country and first OF
all of them lived at Paterson, after
wards scattering. We have located
four who were detailed to work in
Colorado. Alio was one of them.'

Meantime Alio who is kept in Jail
at Colorado Springs in order to pre-
vent a lynching, vehemently de-
MES he belongs to any anarchist

The body of the murdered priest was

diplomatic activity in European cap,
itals and cable news announcing the
calling of a conference of the great
viceroys and provincial governors in
Manchuria, all bearing upon the rela-
tions between China and Japan, and
China and Russia have led the state

on the subject soon after his arrival

the American textile manufacturers
and exporters against the blow deliv-
cred their trade by the Japanese adj
ministration OF railroads in Manchu-

brought to its attention it is probable
that the state department will take

ance of equal trade opportunities in

Wibaux

Pioneer, July 16.-The band boys met
at the hall on Wednesday evening and
practiced for several hours under the in
structions of Mr.. Seeley. Several new
pieces have been added to the list during
the past week and we now have good
band started.
Ole Olson, who is herding sheep for
Thos. Hamre, at Hodges, sustained severe
injury to his left leg while swimming in a
dam near the Beaver Hill side track and
was brought to this city for medical aid
today Mr.. Olson was about to mount the
stone wall of the dam, and placing his
hands upon it, made leap out of the
water, and in so doing his left knee came
in contact with some sharp object in the
water. Judging from the shape of the
wound and the manner in which it was in
ficted, it is thought that the sharp object
must have been a broken bottle-however
cash about four inches long was cut to
the bone, penetrating the knee cap, and
letting out the synovial fluid of the joint.
Sid Hamilton, new conner and home
steader, living twenty miles south of here
near the Frank Smith ranch met with
what was nearly serious if not fatal ac-
cident on Saturday last, as he was on his
| return home from Wibaux with load of
lumber: when about ten miles out from
town he stood up on the load to whip up
his horses when a wheel struct a
stone in the road and threw him under
one of the wheels of a heavy loaded wagon,
the wheel grazing the side of his head
with sufficient force to make several severe
wounds upon the side of his head and ear,
but Fortunately he escaped with a commin-
uted fracture of the collar bone. Had
the wheel passed little farther to the
right it would have crushed the skull and
probably have caused instant death. The
doctor was called by phone and was hurr-
led to the scene of the accident in Wolfe's
auto. At this writing the patient is doing
nicely.
