several ladies. Mr.. Hef1in says he
demonstrated with Lumby and asked
him to stop drinking, saying:
Don't take that drink; there are
ladies here, and it is not right. 1t
is against the law for you to do this
thing in a street car, and I hope you
will put that bottle away" The 9th

to take the bottle away from his

Lumby became offended at Mr.. Hef-

Then the colored man, it is said,
attacked the Congressman.
AS the car reached Sixth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue Hefin and
Lumby were engaged in desperate
struggle. Mr.. Hefiin, who is large,
powerful man, succeeded in throwing
Lumby off the car as 1t came. to a
stop. Most of the occupants of the
car hastily alighted, including MT.

whereupon Mr.. Helm fired at him
through the car window, missing him
and hitting Thomas McCreary, who
was about 20 feet from the car.
Mr.. Heflin fired once or twice
again, one of the shots striking
Lumby in the head above the

and fell. An ambulance was called
and he was taken to the Emergency

disappeared, and officer George N.

Mexico City. Mex. Especially The
damage caused by the earthquake
shocks were greater than was indi-
Gated in the early reports. The first
shock was fair warning to many
persons, whose experience in earth
tremblings knew that something
worse was liable to occur later. This
fact, however, did not prevent the
theatres and the principal places of
amusement from drawing their usual
crowds. At these places were many
/ American tourists, who felt the tinge
of excitement given them by the
shock of the early afternoon. When
the buildings began to rock and the
cry of earthquake was raised there
was rush for the doors, and the
throngs of pleasure-seekers soon
gained access to the street.
1t was in the midst of an act at
the principal theater when the Sc
verest shock occurred about 900 p.
M. The performers continued their
parts, but the audience fed to the
street. 1t was in the poorer quarters
of the city that the worst, damage
was done. The insecure walls of
buildings, which were damaged by
the earthquake of April IA, 1907,
fell, but the number of injured peo-
pie is comparatively small. Tele-

perhaps, some casualties in some of
the mountain towns.

Dorville dropped dead.

Dog Convicted Of Felony, Hanged
Diamond in Chickens Crop.

Dog, Convicted OF Felony, Hanged.
Leiperville, Pa.-Like convicted
felon, adjudged guilty after a fair
| trial, Jack, the big Newfoundland
dog belonging to Hugh Mclaughlin,
was hanged by the neck until dead.
The dog, which had suddenly de-
veloped vicious disposition a few
days ago, sprang upon five-year-old
Thelma Berger. a pretty little girl,
living nearby. Knocking her down.
Jack sank his fangs into her flesh
and probably would have killed her
but for the fact that the child's
screams attracted help and the big
brute was driven of.
Then, according to an old custom
on the coast of Labrador, where dogs
are hanged when it has been proven
that they have the blood lust of a
human being, Mclaughlin tied the
dog up in his yard.
The little victim, still suffering
from her wounds, was the prosecutor
and chief witness.
The case against Jack was made
out. In the owners mind there was
no question that his dog was guilty.
A moose was slipped around the
dogs neck and he was hoisted from
the ground. All day his body hung
suspended, as a warning to other
CANNES, and then it was cut down.
Jack had expiated his crime. JUS
tice was satisfied.
Missing Diamond In Chickens Crop.

broken by the laborers, who were

During visit on board the Ohio
their bear was discovered in a shelter
ed corner. He was lying on his back
with his eyes closed, and neither prod
ding nor coaxing could induce him to
open them. Beside him lay a Jackie,
also fast asleep, doubtless worn out by
watching the invalid Another lad sat
near him ready to minister to the cub s
wants should he express any, but he
was not really sympathetic.
Yes, ma am, - he said to a lady
visitor, she s a mighty sick bear, all
right; but he's mean, anyhow -
Tt was found that the Ohio g cub
had captured bottle of 1inament, fiery
stuff, with eapsicum, ammonia and other
ingredients never prescribed in large
doses. The poor little beast finished
the bottle, which, apparently, had fin
ished him, although the surgeon had
done the best he could for him, also.
At 3 p. m. on Tuesday last the hopes
of his recovery were small. 1t is more
than probable that he, too, has been
committed to the deep.
In taking OF the bears with one of
the sailors, he was asked what they
were fed.

and vegetables-things like that. Then
we go to the canteen and get candy

condensed milk. We punched a hole
in the TOP and bottom of the can, then
he'd take it in his paws, turn the can
up and drain out every drop of the
milk and whine for more.
One animal proved so obstreperous
! and untamable that he was left behind
in Seattle, having clawed an officer
across the face when he came too close
to him.
Life on shipboard in long cruises

Nevertheless, to those who love ami
