and a director of the defunct Ohio
Trust company, was indicted on seven
counts charging embezzlement, was
Jointly indicted with James P. Gibbs,
president of the closed bank, in two
Indictments in which obtaining money
by false pretenses are alleged, and

F. w. Christian, secretary and treas

sERvIAN PRINCE INVOLVED
Sensational Evidence at Trial of Mon

Sensational Evidence at Trial of Mon
tenegrin Rebels.
Cettinje, Montenegro, June 5.-Sen-
sational testimony involving Crown
Prince George of Servia in conspir-
acy against Montenegro has been
given at the trial, which is now pro-
ceeding here, of thirty-two prisoners
charged with revolutionary activity in
connection with the discovery of a
store of bombs in Cettinje last year.
Two of the witnesses declared that
the bombs in question had been man
ufactured by Servian artillery officers
on the direct order of Prince George,
the intention being to use them
against the Montenegro government
with the object of overthroWing the
existing regime.
This sworn testimony has aroused
the greatest excitement here and the
rupture of diplomatic relations be-
tween Montenegro and Servia is ex-
|pected as result. The Servian min
lister here admits that in view of these
alleged revelations his further stay in
Cettinje is impossible.
The crown prince of Servia is an
irresponsible and wild young man,
whose escapades and misbehavior
have attracted much unfavorable COM
ment in Southeastern Europe.

A scene of indescribable confusion
followed and many women present
shrieked and tainted. The crowd
surged forward, but quickly broke and
scattered when the members of the
republican guard, who lined the tran.
septs, rushed up. The assailant of the
| major was struck down. A fierce
knot Of soldiers and civilians were
struggling over Major Dreyfus and his
fallen assailant. Major Dreyfus, his
hawklike features pale as death, but
manifesting complete composure, was
holding up his hand, from which blood
was streaming, while the soldiers
could with difficulty prevent the en-
ragged crowd from beating and kick
ing the man on the floor.
Upon the sharp command of Pre-
feet Of Police Lepine, who was imme-
diately on the scene, the assailant of
Dreyfus was dragged to his feet. He
presented pitiable spectacle From
blood smeared face his wild eyes
looked around appealingly as if for
sympathy, but they met only the
angry crowd and his ears heard only
imprecations upon his foul deed
The mans clothing was in shreds
and his coat and vest had been liter.
ally torn from his body.
Major Dreyfus, accompanied by his
brother Matthew, who was the first to
strike the assailant after he fired, DR..
PozZi and several other friends, was
led away to the mayors Office oppo-
site the Pantheon, where his wound
was dressed. The doctors found that
the bullet had entered his wrist.
Gregori's act undoubtedly was in
spired by the campaign which the re-
dictionary press has been conducting
against zola as ttan insulter of the
army and "a traducer of his coun-
try" furthermore, the Catholic Faith,
a paper to which Gregori was at
tached, was a supporter of General
Boulanger and violently opposed to
Dreyfus.
A total of 230 arrests have been
made by the authorities in connection
with the attempt upon the life Of
Major Dreyfus.

PER ANNUM
SLIGHTLY SARCASTIC.

Cass Lake Times: Everybody is
immensely pleased that the caribou
are coming from His Majesty's
dominion and seeking homes in our
own state. The north country
papers report great droves of the
American reindeer on the tramp
from the shores of Lake of the
Woods, and 'tis said that this
returning is due to the magnani,
nous acts of the states game war
dens in giving them protection.
1t will be remembered that not
long ago DOC" Rutledge, game
warden at Bemidji, represented the
situation of the caribou in his baili-
wik and asked the Indian commits
sioner at Washington for an order
forbidding the killing of these inno-
cent creatures by any of the Indian
tribes. The order was made and
promulgated, but it is a surprise to
all how quickly the ukese was waited
to the herds of western Ontario and
how unanimously they determined to
return.
It behooves us all to speak of the
gentle three-horned monarch with
respect, for his hearing is acute and
his sense of ridicule seems to surpass
that of all other animals.

Escaping Injury.
Washington, June 4.-President
Roosevelt had an exceedingly narrow
escape from a serious accident while
horseback riding in Rock Creek park.
The president, who was accom-.
panied by Mrs. Roosevelt, was riding
new horse, a young animal. The
party rode down through cut in a
bank, forded creek and were ascend
ing the bank on the other side. The
presidents horse reared, the president
leaned forward in the saddle and
threw the reins down in loops so as
to avoid pulling the horse backwards
Again on reaching the top of the bank
the horse reared second time and
the president leaned forward again,
but the animal stood up straight on
its hind legs and then went over back.
ward into the creek with the presi-
dent. Feeling that he was going back
ward the president slipped from the
saddle and as luck would have it fell
into the creek close behind the horse,
which landed on it's back. The horse
fell on the down stream side of the
president, who, realizing that he would
be in danger from the animals feet
should the horse turn towards him,
got out of the way as rapidly as pos
sible. The horse, however, turned
over from the president and got up.
He was captured at once, the presi-
dent remounted and rode for an hour
and half before returning to the
White House. The fall from the horses
back to the stream bed was dis
tance of more than ten feet. The
stream was about two feet deep, with
an exceedingly rocky bed. Neither
the president nor the horse received
the slightest injury.

IN VIOLENT LANGUAGE
British Socialists and LabOrites Op.
pose Kings Visit to Russia.
CAR CALLED A HANGMAN
Declare It Shame and Disgrace to
Great Britain for Her Ruler to Fra
ternize With the Head of the Mus
covite Empire.

London, July 5.-violent protests
were made by the Socialists and La.
Dor members in the house of COM
mons against King Edwards ap-
preaching visit to Russia in language
the offensiveness of which no attempt
was made to veil. The speakers drew
lurid pictures of the alleged condi-
tions in the Muscovite empire, declar-
ing that while they had no objection
to King Edward privately visiting his
relative, Emperor Nicholas, they had
the greatest abhorrence of the idea of
state visit to Russia, with its hor-
rors, tortures and prosecutions. Era
ternizing with the hangmen of liberty
in Russia" they declared to be a
shame and disgrace to Great Brit
ain, which "could not avoid contain
ination if she mixed in evil company"
Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey,
on behalf of the government, depre-
Gated the tone and temper of this at
tack. He declared the evidence re-
ported clearly that the system of gov
ernment in Russia had markedly bet
tered during the last two years and
said an attempt to exert pressure as
suggested would hinder this constitu-
tional progress instead of helping it.
James Keir Hardie, Socialist, ex-
celled himself in violence of language
against Emperor Nicholas and the
Russian government. He was called
to order by the speaker, who threat
ened to stop the debate unless he
withdrew certain Objectionable
phrases. This Mr.. Hardie finally did.
The Labor-Socialist motion con-
demning his majesty's visit to Russia
was defeated, 225 votes to SO.
