Can We Pull Anythinq?

Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent Eng
lish scientist, said in a lecture that
there Is no such thing as pulling. To
speak Of a horse pulling a cart was, he
said, Incorrect. The horse did not pull
the cart. 1t pushed against it's collar
and thereby produced motion In the
cart. Similarly the oarsman pushed
the water, and the man drawing a
handcart had to clasp the handle, and
the driving force was caused by the
part which clasped the handle and was
therefore behind it. Even if the cart
was fastened to the mans coat tail he
did not pull Il, He pushed against his

ROBBER USED BADLY.
Intended Victim Takes Hat, Gun and
Piece of Finger,

Spokane Wn., June 24.-"Stick 'em
up and be quick about it,"
Leo Schwab has ideas of his own
about hold-up. When a lone high
wayman stopped him early this morn
ing on the Washington street bridge
the thug ran across a surprise he will
never forget
Not only did Schwab take away the
| holdup's revolver and his hat but in
the melee he bit off about a half inch
of the highwayman's finger which he
saved as a token of the encounter
Breathless and covered with dust
Schwab ran to the police station i'm
mediately after the battle. That he
| had been in a fight was evidenced
| from his appearance. In a few words
he told of his experience and the Of
ficers were hurried out to look for the
holdup who is minus a portion of
one of his fingers.
Schwab was shown the photographs
in the rogue's gallery and after look
ing them over picked out the photo
graph of Kid Webber as resembling
the man who held him up. An Off
Ger was sent to Webbers home but
the man was found to have all of his
fingers and gave a clear record of his
actions for the night.
The man who wouldn't be held up is
laborer and lives at the Big Island
lodging house. When the robber stop
ped him he capitulated for the time
until he saw an opening, Then he
grabbed the revolver in the thugs
hand.
a rough and tumble fight followed,
the robber struggling with might
and main to free himself. Schwab
kept hold of his man and hoped to
hold him until assistance arrived but
the man finally freed himself and
broke into run.
At some time in the fight the hold
up got one of his fingers in Schwab's
mouth and had 1t bitten Off Schwab
stated to the police that he did not
know this until after the robber had
broken away and he started to give
chase. He then found the piece of
finger in his mouth.
For some reason, probably due to
the excitement, Schwab did not fire on
the fleeing robber, although he had
the revolver used by the man. This
pistol and the hat Of the robber are
now at the police station.

SHOOTING AT HIGHLAND.
Jim Elliot Wounded by J. f. Williams
I'm Quarrel.

Baker City, Ore, June 24.-Word
comes from Richland of shooting In
which ]. E. Williams shot and seri-
ously injured Jim Elliot, both resi-
dents Of that place. 1t seems that the
men had been drinking quite freely
and started out with rifles to go hunt
ing. When a short way from town
they began shooting at mark to
see which was the best marksman.
Williams shot at post and bantered
Elliot to shoot, which the latter refus-
ed to do. Argument Immediately be-
gan and Williams told Elliot If he did
not shoot he would shoot his best eye
out. Elliot laughed and swore at him
answering that he wasn't the man to
do it, or something to that effect. This
enraged Williams and drawing his gun
he shot Elliot. Williams was arrested
and has his preliminary hearing to-
night at Richland before Justice Jas.
Clarke. Elliot has a wife and one
child which are very respectable peo-
pie. Williams is well known in Rich
land.

London. June 24.-Advices from
Teheran today state the conditions in
the Persian capital are worse than
they were yesterday Pillaging, fight
ing and looting by the shah's troops
continue.
Some of the streets are completely
blocked with dead, houses wrecked
and a large portion of the city is in
ruins. Drunk with the deeds of yes
terday, the sultans troops are in COM
plete control. al
over a thousand men, women and
children were killed by the soldiers.
HouSes are surrounded by Cossacks
who dynamited the houses when the
occupants refuse to come out and be
shot down.
Women and children were dragged
from their beds early this morning by
drunken soldiers, who tortured them
for amusement until they begged to
be killed. No one is on the streets
today but CossaCks.
So far the subjects of foreign ma
tions have not been threatened. 1t
is understood the shah has given
strict orders that no foreigner be kill
ed.
Dispatches from the frontier say the
czar is mobilizing his troops to be in
readiness to move on Persia at any
moment.
The British and Russian consuls
have demanded that the shah release
all political prisoners and restore or
der as soon as possible.

of the death of Cleveland caused a
great shock here.
He came here in March and lived
at the Lakewood hotel. A tremen-
dous sensation was caused when Ma
than Strauss, of New York, a close
friend of the eX-president and owner
of the hotel, gave arbitrary orders
that the hotel would be closed at
once. All the guests left except the
Clevelands who were occupying apart
ments on the second floor. The hotel
management denied that the season
was cut short in order that Cleveland
would not be disturbed, but the evi.
dence pointed to that conclusion.
II was given out that Mr.. Cleveland
was slightly indisposed and suffering
from stomach trouble. This was not
generally believed. Mrs. Cleveland
continually gave out statements say
ing her husband was improving.
Guards were kept about the hotel
and no one was admitted. Mr.. Cleve-
land was as much isolated as If on a
ship. Two physicians came from New
York, each spending twenty hours
with the patient.
All prescriptions were taken to New
York to be filled so local druggists
would not know what was in them.
Frequent reports that he was dying
We're circulated
When II was announced that he
was well enough to return home, John
Hays Hammond appeared at the
Lakewood hotel with a big touring
car and took Cleveland across the
country to a station. Here the train
for Princeton was met

gagged upon an answer to the DsW
complaint and says he will be ready
to file the same tomorrow after
which the case will then be at Issue
According to Mr. Phelps he WID
answer the complaint upon its merItH
denying all of the allegations madc
by the saloonmen. In addition NJ
will also have a demurrer prepares
should he desire to use the saroe

see the case go to trial at once upon
the merits of the case so it is poe
sible he may not file a demurrer 10
