the town were broken. Isaac
Zehner, who owns the mill at that
point, is perhaps the heaviest los

stack on the mill was blown down
and some damage to the machin-

loss will not be over one.hundred
dollars.
All summed up, the storm was

SCORES OF PERSONS HURT
Illinois Students and Police in Fierce
Combat,

Urbana, H., Oct. 5.-During hand
to hand fight between students of the
state university and authorities of the
city, who were trying to arrest the
students, Mayor Blaine of Champaign
fired his revolver at student who
had resisted arrest by hitting the
mayor between the eyes.
The student was not injured, but
the firing of the revolver precipitated
the fiercest riot between the students
and the police that has occurred here
for years.
Five students were arrested and
fined on a charge of disorderly con-
duct. Half the city policemen were
bruised and battered from fights with
the students and the number of black
eyes, bruises and other marks carried
by the students indicate that the col
lege boys did not have much the bet
ter of the contest.
1t Is probable that the college au-
thorities will take some action follow
Ing the riots and there may be large

Federal Court Justifes Action
Of Sheriff Lane.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 5.-Judge Archi.
bald, in the United States court, de-
cided that Sheriff Charles Lane of
Westchester county, N. Y, was not in
contempt in not having delivered
Harry n. Tnaw into the keeping OF a
United States marshal to be taken to
Pittsburg to answer in bankruptcy pro
ceedings.
The reason for this was that Thaw
was now cited in habeas corpus pro-
ceedings as to his sanity before JUS
tice Mills at White Plains, N. Y, and
was therefore in the jurisdiction of
that court and not properly within
the custody of the sheriff. After the
habeas corpus proceedings are over
Judge Archibald will take further ac-
tion.

would take Thaw outside of New York

SUITS BROUGHT IN 1907
Writer Contradicts Statement of Gov.

and Declares That the Defendants
Are Making Every Possible Move to

Washington, Oct. S. - President
Roosevelt has given out for publica.

which the writer declares that Gov

attorneys of record that they file an

announced several times In open

for an immediate hearing in any and

was an editorial criticising in vigor-
Gus language an extract from a sup
posed speech of Mr.. Bryan's on the

of in the editorial were: I'm all tariff

In regard to this the Bee stated edi-
