TRIED TO STRANGLE HIM.
Biron MilIhand Makes a Startling Ac-
cusation Against Companion.

Grand Rapids.-Did Michael Stanko-
vich attempt to strangle his compan-
ion, Stanfslaf Zdunek, on lonely road,
and then rob him? 1t was on this
charge that Stankovich was held for
trial. The men, who are employed in
the mill at Biron, three miles north,
cashed their pay checks and started to
walk to this city. On the way Stanko-
vich proposed to Zdunek that they go
into the nearby woods and rest them
selves. Zdunek refused, saying he
was not tired and kept on walking,
with StankOvich Immediately behind
him. Zdunek says he was suddenly
startled when rope was thrown over
his head and around his neck from be-
hind, Stankovich twisting the rope I'M
til he nearly rendered Zdunek uncon-
scious. Zdunek struggled desperately
with his assailant, and in the mix-up
caught Stankovich's finger between
his teeth, biting him hard enough to
make Stankovich release the strangle-
hold he had on the rope. Zdunek, then
nearly exhausted, succeeded in releas-
ing himself and ran here for assist
ance. Sheriff WEIGH arrested StankO-
vich. Zdunek says he believes Stan
kovich intended to rob him of the $110
which he had in his pocket at the time
of the assault.

Davidson at Nature Session.

Gov. Davidson and the other Wis
consin delegates to the national con-
ference called by the president in
Washington for the discussion of ways
and means to conserve national re-
sources of the country, attended the
session. The capital was crowded
with visitors and delegates and house
accommodations were at a premium.
Gov. Davidson was especially we'll pro-
vided with accommodations during his
stay in Washington as he was assigned
rooms at the Cosmos club. This club,
whose membership includes leading
scientists of the country, is one of
Washington's most exclusive clubs. 1t
is only short distance from the
White House, where the sessions OF

It WILL NOT BE
JUDGE PURDY
SENATOR NELSON WINS AND
PURDY'S NAME WILL NOT
BE CONFIRMED.
1t is Up to President Roosevelt to Make
Further Nominations to Succeed
Judge Lochren as Federal Judge
in Minnesota.

Washington, May 19.-The nomi-
apolis to be judge of the United
States district court to succeed Judge
Lochren resigned, will not be con-
firmed by the senate during the pres
ent session. The judiciary commit
tee held its last meeting yesterday,
unless the session shall be prolonged
beyond Saturday and the nomination
was not reported yesterday.
No opportunity will be given for the
committee to act in the few remain
ing days. 1t is the intention of Sen
ator Nelson to allow the nomination
to fail for want of confirmation.
After the judiciary committee meet
ing to-day Senator Nelson said:
"The appointment of Mr.. Purdy will
fail for want of confirmation. was
advised by a majority of the COM
mittee that if / desired an adverse
report it would be made. Assurances
have also been given me that ma
jority of the senate would vote to
reject the nomination it desired a.
vote to that effect.
81 choose to adopt milder course
and allow the appointment to fail
for want of confirmation, leaving the
situation free for President Roose-
welt to act as he chooses in the mat
ter"
The nomination of Mr.. Purdy hav-'
ing failed in the present session, the
next question to be presented is as to
what action President Roosevelt will
now take. He may choose to name
Mr.. Purdy as a recess appointments,
but in the light of the result thus far
obtained it is uncertain that he will
do this, or that Mr.. Purdy will be
willing to accept an appointm emit
coming to him in that way. Mr.
Purdy would face the probability that
the senate would again fail to con-
firm the appointment, and he might
serve as judge in Minnesota until
December next with no chance of re-
ceiving compensation therefor or any
assurance that the sending of his
name to the senate by President
Roosevelt next December would
have the effect to bring from the sem
ate confirm alton.

LAWLE SSNESS
Strike at Cleveland Cause of MANY At
tacks of Non-Union Men.

Cleveland, o., May. 19.-Many acts
of lawlessness were committed in
connection with the street car strike
between midnight and dawn. Trolley
wires were cut, crews were driven
from their cars, and in some instances
non union men were attacked by
strike sympathizers.
Trolley wires in Lakewood, a West
ern suburb, were cut in several places,
with the result that the Municipal
Traction Company announced that
no further attempt would be made to
operate cars in that section until the
Lakewood authorities guaranteed pro-
lection for it's men and cars. Because
of alleged discrimination against
Lakewood by the Municipal Traction
Company is the matter of fare, it is
claimed that the authorities of the
town make no effort to suppress law
less acts committed by strike sympa-
thiZerS.

PERISH IN FIRE.
Two Men Lose Their Livss in a Fire
that Destroys Mill.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, May 49,
Two lives were lost in a fire that de-
stroyed the paper mill and power
house of the Lake Superior corpora
ton at the Canadian 500. The dead
are Albert E. Walsh and Edward
Gray.
Walsh was the superintendent of
the dynamo room where the fire
started, evidently from short cir
cult. 1t is supposed Walsh climbed
upon the machinery to put out the
blaze and received a fatal electric
shock. Gray was his assistant and
evidently lost his life in an effort to
save his chief.

consin geological survey advises the
farmers of Wisconsin contemplate
ing road and bridge improvement to

cation, inspect roads which are difficult
to maintain and tell how to remedy
existing conditions as quickly and
cheaply as possible; make practical
suggestions for relocation, grading
or drainage; examine old bridges and
estimate carefully the cost of new
ones; in short, insure the farmers of
Wisconsin the best possible results at
the least possible expense. This com
petent advice, practical assistance,
and whenever possible Tin the case of
stone or gravel roads,, outfits of road
machinery are offered by the highway
division upon application entirely free
