k,oNap RAncHER's DAUGHTER
Cantor Uses Her as Shield When
Overhauled.

Fresno. Cal, July Using the
body of the girl he had kidnapped from
her fathers house as shield tor his
own body. Cleve Rogers held the
nosse that had run him down at bay
for half an hour yesterday before
finally surrendering himself and the
girl The girl, Edna Domengine. 16
Years old daughter of wealthy stock
man and oil man of Coalinga, was re-
turned to her parents. She recently
graduated from the Holy Cross Col
lege, in Santa Cruz.
Walked from sound sleep by 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 rifles held in the
hands of pair of desperadoes. Her
father and mother had preceded her
and they stood with hands up lhe
whole scene was lighted by the glare
of burning barn which the bandits
had fired.
Clad only in her nightdress, the
young girl stood terrified, staring at
the grotesque scene that 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 Loveall, one Of the hold-up
men, demanded $1,000 from Domen-
CINE. Domengine declared there was
no money in the house. Rogers there
upon forced the young girl to guide
him through her home, pointing out
the places where the family kept their
plate and other valuables. In vain the
child pleaded that there was only 10
cents in her bureau drawer.
When the search revealed nothing.
the ruffians took her out, harnessed
one of the teams belonging to Domen-
CINE, bundled the girl into it and
drove off Then Domengine, who had
been released, after promising to pro
duce $4,000 ransom, made his way to
Coalinga and spread the alarm. I'm

Tricked His Enemies.

London. July A special dispatch
to the Times from Teheran, June l6,
supplies a long history of the events
that led to the recent coup 'etat Ac-
cording to this announcement certain
old discarded courtiers demanded the
dismissal from the palace of a clique of
conspirators. A delegation also called
upon the Shah to expel certain court
favorites, including Amir Bahadur and
Chapsal Khan, two of the Shah's most
trusted councillors. The Shah eraftily
feigned compliance and quietly pre-
pared to escape from the capital. On
June everything was ready and Ba-
hadur s wild horsemen galloped through
the main thoroughfares brandishing
swords and rifles, causing a wild STAN
pede. Suddenly a whole regiment of
Cossacks with guns ready for attack,
followed by the tribal cavalry with wild
cries of "Long live the Shahv and
Down with the traitors,'' halted be-
fore the palace.
The bazaars were all closed up and
the people ran in fear of their lives.
The Shah s carriage, driven by six bay
horses, was seen issuing from the gun
square surrounded by the six courtiers
who 1t was supposed had been dismissed,
escorted by every horseman the Shah
could muster, each with his rifle ready
to shoot anybody who might dare to
impede the Shah s passage.
All this happened within ten minutes
and within another ten minutes his ma
Jesty was breathing the fresh air of
Bagshah, the royal garden outside the
western gate. Later in the dav the
queen and the crown prince went to the
royal garden with an escort of 400
horsemen. This soon became the center
or the royalist activities and the sur
rounding gardens were appropriated and
regular camp formed which continu.
any increased its forces. The people
were taken completely by surprise at
nrst, thinking the whole thing a joke,
but they soon discovered their mistake
