BOSTON BANDITS
 MAY HAVE FLED
Leader Dies by Police Bullets,
 but Others Are Missing.

Boston, July 24.-while one of the desperadoes who terrorized the Ja- maica Plain and West Roxbury dis tricts of the city for two nights and day, killing two men and wounding eleven other persons, lies dead in the city morgue. riddled by the bullets of a hundred policemen in Forest Hills cemetery, the police are confronted to- day with the possibility that the dead bandits two companions are still at large. The dead man, killed after mak- ing a determined fight, has not been identified.
 The police hold in custody two men who were thought to be two of the desperate characters. One, believed to be Giuseppi di Vicio, was arrested at the South station Several persons have come forward with the asser- tion that Di Vicio is a resident of Somerville and that they can prove a full alibi for him. The second man was seized in Forest Hills cemetery during the police roundup He is former elevated road employee named Hugh McDougall, and his statement that he was merely one of hundreds of citizens who had joined in the hunt for the desperadoes is substantiated by his friends,

The headaches and dizzy feelings that trouble so many persons, are often but symptoms of kidney com plaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacher- ours. They come on silently, gain ground rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths that could have been pre- vented by treatment in the beginning.
 Nature gives early warnings of every disease. if you would but note and heed them. Backaches. twinges of pain when stopping or lifting. headaches, faint spells and urinary disorders are among the first warn- ings of kidney trouble.
 If these signals are unheeded. there comes a steady, dull, heavy aching in the back and lolns. a noticeable weakness and loss of flesh, rheumatic attacks, weakening of the sight, IT, regular heart action, languor, attacks of gravel. irregular passages of the Kidney secretions. sediment, painful scalding sensation, dropsical bloating, etc.
 But there is no need to suffer long. Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney troubles. This remedy has made q reputation for quick relief and lasting

POLICEMAN IN
 SHOOTING CASE.
Brooklyn Patro|man Suspected Of Killing Woman.

New York, July 24.-Barbara Rieg was the young woman found with bull let pierced head in the shelter house of Irving Square park, Brooklyn.
 The man with her when the fatal shot was fired was Policeman David E. Shellard of the Hamburg avenue station. He was arrested as climax to a day of sensational developments, charged with having killed the wo- man.
 Shellard and a fellow policeman named Rudolph Koehler were the men who discovered the woman's dead body in the toolroom of the little shel- ter house. From that moment until the time when the pressure of accumu- lating evidence overpowered him Shel- lard insisted that he had never seen or spoken to Barbara Rieg. He is a married man and has one child.
 When the body was identified by the dead woman's mother Shellard looked on with pretense of indifference, as II tHe pout OI luC hothihe to him. It was only when an Easter post card was found among Barbara Rieg's effects, signed Dave" in the undisguised handwriting of Shellard, that he broke down and made what he called "a clean breast of it.''
 Shellard's story is that the woman. madly in love with him, caused him to give her a rendezvous in the shelter house, wept bitterly when he repulsed her pleadings and finally shot herself with his revolver.
 Shellard was one of the first police men to be called to the spot when 1t was learned that young woman had been shot in the shelter house. Lacer he was ordered to don civilian clothes and search for the murderer. Instead of telling what he knew about the case. Shellard now says that he went to a saloon and carefully cleaned and reloaded his revolver so that it would not show that a shot had been fired from it.

LIGHTNING HITS
 MILITIA CAMP.
Three Pennsylvania Sol-
 dierS Killed.
MANY OTHERS INJURED.

Field Hospital Crowded With Victims
 of Storm That Broke Suddenly Over
 Encampment-one Mans Body Cut
 In Two by Bolt-Governor Stuart's
 Tent Blown Down, but State Execu-
 tive and His Guests Escape Serious
 Injury.
 Gettysburg, Pa. July 24-As a re- suit of a severe electrical storm which passed over the camp of the national guard of Pennsylvania three troopers were killed and twenty-six seriously injured.
 Lieutenant Colonel Lewis E. Beitler of Philadelphia, member of the staff of Governor Stuart, came to this place from the camp today and made the official announcement. Those killed, it is announced, were as follows:
 Private Burt Barber, Tenth regi- ment.
 Milton Carver, Tenth regiment.
 Private Morrison, Sixteenth regi- ment.
 The body of Carver was severed in twain as though by sword.
 The greatest confusion prevailed, and the visitors to the camp, as well as many of the troopers, were panic stricken.
 The field hospital was crowded with injured, and the colonel of the Tenth regiment gave up his quarters to,those who were in immediate need of med ical assistance.
 Governors Tent Blown Down.
 When the storm came up Governor Stuart was entertaining a few friends fin his tent. The storm broke with such suddenness and fury that the oc- cupants of the tent found themselves entangled in the canvas and ropes in an instant, but all escaped serious in jury.
 There were nearly fifty men in the regimental guard tent of the Tenth regiment when the storm broke, and not one is believed to have escaped in jury.
 The men of the Second brigade, whose tents were pitched in the low land. were forced to swim to safety. Their cots floated about the camp, and not tent of this brigade remained in- tact.
 When the storm swept down upon the camp there were hundreds of vis- itors present. Scores of men and wo- men sought shelter in the Y. NJ. c. A. tent. This immense sheet of canvas was tossed like toy balloon in a gale of wind. but, strangely enough, not one person is said to have been injured.
 The greatest excitement prevailed. and many troopers who were injured could be located only by their cries for assistance. all the lights In the camp having been extinguished by the ter rife wind.

A Eox's Stratsaem-

A fox is bound to be a thief when- ever he has half chance to steal, says London Answers. He can no more help taking a goose than badly train- cd cat can help taking a chop from the larder. There was a tame fox that was chained in a yard to keep him out of mischief. but he soon hit upon q plan for seizing a stray duck or fowl At the very farthest point to which his chain would reach he used to place a portion of his food and then hide him. self in his kennel. In due course a silly chicken was sure to spy the bait and begin pecking at 1t. Before 1t had had time to enjoy its meal. however. the fox would pounce upon it and the stock of poultry be reduced by one.

ANOTHER TRIAL FOR
 STANDARD OIL.
Administration Will Not Let the
 Matter Drop.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 24.-Presi- dent Roosevelt announced in unmis- takable terms the determination of the administration to proceed with the prosecution of the Standard Oil case despite the decision adverse to the government handed down by the Unit ed States circuit court of appeals in Chicago. This decision, the president thinks. in no way affects the merits of the case. and he makes known his de- cision to cause the action to be brought again before the courts in such shape. if possible. as to prevent technicalities interfering with a de cision based upon the actual issues in- volved. The statement in the matter, made public by Secretary Loeb, fol- lows:
 The president has directed the at- torney general to immediately take steps for the retrial of the Standard Oil case. The reversal of the deci- sion of the lower court does not in any shape or way touch the merits of the case. excepting so far as the size of the fine is concerned. There is ab- solutely no question of the guilt of the defendant or of the exceptionally grave character of the offense. The president would regard it as a gross miscarriage of justice if through any technicalities of any kind the defend ant escaped the punishment which would have unqnestionably been met ed out to any weaker defendant who had been guilty of such offense.
 The president will do everything in his power to avert or prevent such miscarriage of justice With this pur- pose in view the president has directed the attorney general to bring into con- sultation NIT. Frank R. Kellogg in the matter and to do everything possible to bring the offenders to justice"
