AN AUTO WRECK.
Frank Moss Machine Piloted Against
Street Car by Charles Guibor.

In a tournament between an auto
mobile and a street car last night, the
street car won by a straight lead for
the spokes.
While pleasant time was being
had" between Ninth and Tenth on
Kansas avenue, incident to the shoot
ing of a negro by a negro policeman,
a. large touring car rolled southwark
on the avenue, keeping the west side
of the street, according to law. About
half way between Ninth and Tenth, the
car went crazy" one side of the steer
ing gear slipping its moorings, and the
car swerved suddenly to the left, made
a complete circle, and was headed west
across the street when it met a south
bound Washburn car, which had been
content to follow in the wake of the
auto. The car struck the auto a blow
on the nose, and partially capsized it,
breaking all the spokes out of the right
front wheel. The occupants of the
car were uninjured, except in feelings,
but the car was still resting blows
down. on the pavement this morning.
The passengers in the car were Miss
Ethel Estberg, Miss Floyd Robenson,
Jerry tombstone and Charles Guibor,
who officiated at the wheel. The ma
chine belongs to Frank Moss of St.
Marys, who made the mistake of go
Ing out of town and leaving the buzz
wagon at home. Mr.. Guibor hated to
see the machine wasting it's time in a
barn, and took it out for exercise.

THEY HAD TO SHOOT HIM
A Book Agent Stands Off Police and
Firemen With a Gun.

Montreal. Que, April For five
hours John Smith, book agent kept
a large posse of the Montreal police
force and a detachment of the fire
brigade at bay, killing one constable,
wounding another and Chief Detective
Carpenter before he was finally shot.
Constables Foucoult and Shea were
sent to house in Nance street with
a warrant for the arrest of Smith.
Smith opened fire with rifle, wound
ing Foucoult and killing Shea. Assist
ance was summoned.
Streams of water were turned on
both the front and the rear of the
house. but Smith once more appeared
at window and fired at those stand
ing in front Carpenter was shot
through the hand and hip. Urged on
by the crowd, the police disregarded
the order to take Smith alive and so
men began firing. They then rushed
the place. Smith was found lying on
his bed wounded in three places, but
none of the wounds appeared to be
mortal. 1t is believed that Smith
comes from the southern states and
that Smith is not his right name.
The warrant for his arrest was sworn
out by Mrs. Pritchard, his landlady,
who alleges Smith threatened to kill
her.
