he had been badly bitten.
Mr.. Thatcher was walking along the

When few feet In front of him, the

BURGLARS ANDTRY
TO COMMIT
MURDER
Postoffice at Stowe Broken In
to and Safe Looted
ESCAPED WITH THEIR BOOTY
n. Z. Shaw, Who Discovered Thorn
ut Work Hailed Them aid Was
Answered BY eullsts.

Stowe, March 31.--Four burglars
early today rifed the postofilce safe
here, securing between five and six
hundred dollars In money and stamps.
The people living near the Memorial
building were startled by loud ex-
plosion at 2:15 o'clock this morning
and Mrs. j. c. Morgan who lives only
a few feet from the building, saw q
light In the p0stoffice and saw men at
work In the Office and one man on
guard outside. Mrs. Morgan did not
dare to use the telephone as It was
on the same line as the postofiice, and
as she was alone In the house, could
give no alarm. She saw the men
leave the building by the front win
dow as they had entered 1t. after a
second explosion.
II. E. Shaw who lives opposite the
building saw the men and raised his
window and asked what the trouble
was and was answered by a volley of
four pistol shots, after which the men
took to their heels and escaped. Bull
let holes were found In the front of the
building and one ball passed through
the sash about four inches above Mr..
Shaw's head and was embedded in the
piano. but he was not injured. The
robbers we're also seen by Charles
Simmons. Both Mr.. Shaw and Mr..
Simmons conduct stores near the post
office and live over their respective
stores
II is thought that the burglars were
on foot They were traced toward the
south as far as the lower village. in
the direction Of Waterbury. but there
the trail was lost. A party searched
for them this forenoon. aided by Wat
erbury officers, but no further trace
was found. No persons answering
to the description of the robbers has
been seen in Waterbury. 1t is thought
by some people that the robbers may
be in hiding near here and a party is
out this afternoon securing allthe sur.
rounding country.
An investigation at the postofiice
by A. H. Cheney, the postmaster,
shows that the front of the safe was
blown on and while the exact loss is
not yet determined, it is probably not
far from $500. of which about 5000 was
In stamps.
Officers in the surrounding towns
have been notified to look out for the
robbers and the postal officials have
been informed Of the burglary.

ATTELL-NELSoN DRAW
AtteII Stood His Punishment For Flf-
teen Rounds.

San Francisco, March 31.--With
disadvantage Of at least eight pounds
against him. Abe Attell. champion feat
her weight of America, tonight
fought Battling Nelson of Chicago to
q flfteen-round draw. At the end OF
the contest both men were fairly del.
uged with blood. Nelson's face in
particular presenting the worst sight.
Attell had the advantage of all the
earlier rounds. He matched his SUI
perior skill against the rugged and
sturdier man, and by outgeneraling
his opponent In this manner babe fair
to earn clear cut decision. Nelson,
however forced the pace throughout
all the while seeking to force Attell
into close quarters. Attell,' however,
was as elusive an an eel, and all the
time was shooting lightning left and
right jolts to Nelson's disfgured face.
The turning point came, however, In
the ninth round. Nelson, who had been
taking his punishment without a
whimper, finally succeeded in getting
past Attells heretofore inpregnable
guard. and once having paved the yay.
he worried his man. The battler land
ed some powerful body punches In the
succeeding rounds, and changing his
tactics, played for Attell's face, un.
til he had the blood squirting In
streams from his opponents nostrils.
The men then battled at a furious
pace exchanging punch for a
punch. Nelson having the greater
power behind his blows. In the four.
teenth round 1t looked as IL Nelson
would score knockout as Attell was
apparently In distress. But the won.
derful cleverness and knowledge OF
ring trickery stood Attell well in
stead and he stalled and smothered
the round out. He came up fresh
kand determined in the last round. and
then fought battle royal. The men
hayed each other with might and
MAN,. Attell landing four blows to
Nelson's one.
Both of the men were dissatisfied
with the decision.
Nelson was down to 131 and Attel
weighed about 124 pounds.
Betting on the result favored Mel
son, odds Of 10 to having been Of

SOFT COAL MEN OUT
Quarter Of Million Men Quit Work This

coal miners of the United States this
evening, not to be used again until
wage settlement has been reached and
a scale adopted between the members
Of the United Mine Workers Of Ameri.

Gus fields.
The situation. however, does not in.
dictate a prolonged strike. An open
winter and industrial depression have
left large stock of coal on hand and
the differences between miners and
operators are very slight. It is practi-
cally agreed that the present wage
scale will be confined. but some poll

night in the officers of the miners or.
ganization, and local differences be-
tween operators and miners have re-
