Fourteen Natives Are Killed
And Two Soldiers Are
Wounded.
TROOPS PURSUE
FLEEING LEADER

Manila, July 14.-Advices received
here today state that Lieutenants
Burr and Whitney, commanding a
detachment of the constabulary,
stormed the village of Gotta on the
island of Mindanao, which was occu-
pied by the outlaw Uyan and a strong
force of his followers, Friday last. A
bloody battle ensued and the outlaws
were finally driven from the village
and pursued for some distantce in the
interior.
Fourteen outlaws we're killed and
two guns captured. one of the con-
stabulary privates was seriously
wounded and Lieutenant Burr was
slightly wounded, bat none of the
constabulary was killed.
Uyan escaped with his followers
and the constabulary is again in pur-
suit but it is doubtful If the outlaw
will be captured, as he is we'll ac-
quainted with the country and is go
ing deeper into the mountainous
country where it will be harder to
follow. Uyan escaped after murder
ing a school teahcer and an engineer
for whom ne was acting as guide.

LOSES LIFE IN EARLY
MORNING FIRE.
FATHER BADLY INJURED
Fire That Originated From Some
Unknown Cause Destroys the
McLain Home at 615
May Street.

| Fort Worth, Texas, April 3-Vic-
tor McLain, 6-year-old son of Will
liam McLain, railroad man, was
burned to death at the home of his
parents, els May street, at o'clock
, this morning.
His father was badly burned in
escaping tom the burning house,
which was almost destroyed
A little after o'clock this morn
ing, DR.. c. II. Howell of Conan
che, okla, who, with his wife, were
guests of MIR. and Mrs. McLain,
smelled smoke in the house Howell
and his wife were asleep in the front
room and McLain and his son We're
sleeping in the rear room. Mrs. Me
Lain was sleeping next door, where
she was taking care of the children
of some neighbors, who are in Min
eral Wells.
DT. Howell Investigated and found
the rear of the house to be on fire
! He gave the alarm as soon as he
could by pounding on the door where
McLain and his son were sleeping,
they not having been awakened by
the smoke
What happened after this is not
clearly known as the stories of the
affair are conflicting on account of
the excitement in the neighborhood
just as the fire was burning itself
out and after it had been ascertained
that the child had burned to death.
At 3:15 O'Clock this morning the
father of the child told half con-
nected story of the tragedy. He says
that when he was awakened by Dr.
Howell the room was in flames He
CROPPED his way to the door calling
to his son to stay where he was un-
til he could get the door open. The
child answered and McLain fought
his way to an opening which he
made by battering the door in. He
then met DR.. Howell and the two
started back for the boy. The flames
in the meantime had cut off all ap-
proach to the room where the boy
slept and he could not be reached.
While endeavoring to get to his
son, McLain was fearfully burned
about the face, chest and arms His
hands are mass of burns made as
he tried to get back into the burn
ing room. McLain himself is in a
critical condition.
After the fire the body of the child
was found lying face up in the mid
Idle of the bed, indicating that the
little fellow had never left the bed.
The flesh was burned entirely from
the body

Weatherford, Texas, April s.
District Judge Patterson yesterday
morning sentenced j. b. Cason
charged with the murder of l.. f.
McLemore, six miles south of this
city, in the Fd6leman pasture in
February, 19eg, to be hanged by the
neck until dead Cr Friday, May %.
When Cason was brought before the
court for sentence he was visibly af-
feCted, ana when asked if there was
anything he desired to say before
sentence was passed upon him, re-
piled: Nothing, except I am inno-
cent, and would be glad for the
court to give me all the time possi-
Bile
Judge Patterson assured him his
guilt had been established to the
satisfaction of the jury, who tried
him in April, 1907, and the higher
court, which had affirmed the verdict
of murder in the first degree, car
rying with it the death penalty. He
was advised to adjust his affairs so
far as this world and the next is
concerned, and ordered back to the
county Jail.
Cason was carried back to the
county Jail and placed in the con-
demned cell, where watch will be
kept upon him night and day until

TO PREVENT SURPRISE ROB-
BERS BUILT BARRICADE
ABOUT BUILDING.
GET AWAY WITH LOOT
Five Charges of Nitroglycerin Neces-
Sary to Crack Safe in Mounds,
Oklahoma, Financial
Institution.

Tulsa, Okla, April 3.-Robbers
entered the Bank of Mounds, at
Mounds, Okla, fifteen miles south
of this city, early yesterday morn
ing, opened the safe by means of nj
troglycerin secured S5,400 and
made their escape. According to one
man, j. F. Walker, who was on the
street at the time, there were three
men in the gang. When the robbers
perceived Walker, they opened fire
on him, but he fled and escaped in
jury.
The noise of the explosion in
opening the safe aroused everybody
in the neighborhood and the rob-
bers had scarcely shaken the dust
of the village from their feet before
numerous posses We're on their
trail. @
An organized search was institut-
ed. One pack of bloodhounds has
been put on the trail and another
pack will be given the scent. The
Mounds robbery, following closely
others in this part of the country,
leads to the belief that it is the work
of the same gang.

self by stepping into 2 hole on a
sidewalk. Mayor Callahan has is
sued instructions to the street COM
missioner to begin repairing all
downtown streets and plazas. He
announces his purpose of putting
all the payemeuts in first class con-
dition. The Business Mems Club,
and the Women's Club will join the
mayor in this work of civic improve
ment, and a campaign for good
streets and sidewalks will be in
augurated.
San Antonio has two difficulties
to contend with in the making of
streets and sidewalks, the first is
the size of the city. it covers thirty
six square miles in extent, by reason
of having such large lawns about
the houses. This is an area equal to
that of the city of Boston with eight
times the population. The second
difficulty is the homestead law,
which makes it impossible to enforce
lien against a homestead for city
improvement. Nevertheless despite
these difficulties San Antonio intends
to be the best paved city in the
Southwest, and has set out to ac-
complish this by appealing to the
patriotism and civic pride rather
than the Big Stick of the law.

In the report of the comptroller

CAREFUL AND CAUTIOUS MAN.

The next mayor must be a cautious
and careful man. He must be suffi.
GENTLY the master of his own time in
order that he can exercise caution an
care in the supervision of the city's
business. He must be able to inspect
the work on the streets. He must be
able to attend all city meetings. He
must be able to look after the thous.
and and one different things which
requires chief executives attention
and,this term especially is this careful
supervision necessary. Caution must
be used by the next mayor or useless
and wasteful expenditures will con-
tinue to eat into the city's revenue.
Expenses must be kept down, and Geo,
w. Davis, the Republican candidate
for mayor is both cautious and careful
and will serve the people in just the
manner necessary. Don't be blinded
by immaterial arguments, but inves.
tigate records and ascertain facts.

payer, but has no interest which
would cause him to be unfair or
partial He knows his duty, in what
every station he is placed, and he has
never yet been accused of neglect of
duty. On the other hand the testi-
mony of every member Of the county
board is to the effect that Mr.. Davis
is painstaking, attentive, capable
officer, and in assuming the duties of
mayor, should be elected by the voters
OF Grand Rapids, he will bring to
those duties the same thorough sys-
tenn and understanding which has
characterized his official and business
life. The city is now in debt over
100000 and has no money with which
to run for the year. The overdraft
on which interest had to be paid at
the beginning of the year was s22, 108.

is that they get firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles,
dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease
follow in meriless succession. Don't
neglect you kidneys. Cure the Kid
neys with the certain and safe remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pil-@, which has cured
people right here in Grand Rapids.
