neT. Albert Ferris was shot through the
LETT arm, the bullet lodging in his lung.
He is in a serious condition. He was
serving sentence for burglary.

At daybreak this morning the posse,
which mad continued the struggle last
night until long after midnight, took up
the search for the fugitives. The men
had not moved any considerable distance
in the night before daylight and wers
soon found making their way Up stream
and carrying Duncan on a stretcher.
The posse began shooting at the gang
hitting almost at the first fire. When the
posse closed in on the fugtives Carter
was dead and the other two were too
badly Injured to make any further re-
sistance.
After the mel had been captured it was
ascertained that Duncan was wounded by
of shots at Buena Vista last night. when
also shot Carter in the wrist during this
fight. All during last night the posse
was unaware that any Of the gang was
hurt.

posse headed by Sheriff II. ?. Mimic OF
Marion county, turned its attention to two
other fugitives VINO separated from thu
major part IF the gang Friday night or
Saturday. Mimic and his party early in
the day struck q trail which they believe
is that Of the COnvicts and they are now
following il through the undeTbIush.
This part of the gang is composed OF
Mike NiChOlich, sentenced for larceny.
and Albert Murray serving a sentence for
arson.

Washington, Oct. H.-News of Mr.. Blu
chanan's death came as a great shock
to official Washington. Since President
Cleveland's administration Mr.. Buchanan
had, excepting short intervals, been con-
nected with the department of state in
important diplomatic work and his sue
cess caused him to be regarded as a fore
most American diplomat
He was remarkably successful in Latin
American activities, not only because Of
his mastery of the Spanish language, but
also because of his ability TO enter into
the peculiar mental processes Of the South
and Central American people.
Mr. Buchanan was born in Covington,
Ohio, Sept. 10, 1853. He was appointed
United States minister to the Argentine
republic by President Cleveland in 1894.
He devoted himself to extending and i'm
proving American trade with South Amer
lea and with the Argentine republic es-
Decially. incidentally he negotiated a
reciprocity treaty between Argentine and
America that gave promise of benefit
to the business interests of the two coun-
tries, but this failed of ratification by
the United States senate.

An Important Achievement.

One of his important achievements.
while in BuenOs Ayres, was his settlement
of boundary dispute between Argentina
and Chile, which threatened to involve the
two countries in war.
Mr.. Buchanan, as director general, sue
ccsSfuHy managed the Buffalo Pan-Amer
lean exposition. Scarcely had he finished
his service as a delegate to the Pan-Amer-
lean conference in NJ aXicO City in 1902
before he was again drafted into the
diplomatic service to become the first
United States minister to Panama, where,
owing 10 his tact, he was able to adjust
many difficult issues.
Voluntarily relinquishing that post
when his work was done, Mr.. Buchanan
went later TO EuropA as repr sentative
of large business concerns. But soon
another call came from the state depart
ment and he went first to the Rio con-
ference and then to Venezuela.
American concessions and diplomatic
business generally were in bad shape in
this country and Mr.. Buchanan succeeded
in arranging for q private settlement of
four Of the five great American claims
against Venezuela, ana for the reference
to The Hague tribunal of the fifth. He
mad been named as an agent for America
in the presentation Of this case-that Of
the Oriaoco Steamship company-to The
Hague tribunal. WREN he left New York
for London recently, and was in confer
ence with the state department almost to
the day Of his death in regard to that
business.

AIdrich Defends Tariff Bill,

WASHINGTON, July II. - Senator
Aldrich reiterates his statement tina,
the senate tariff bill does not impose
additional burdens upon the con
sumers.
"Isolated cases of increases of rates
are taken and the entire bill con-
demned because of them," said Mr..
Aldrich. ut is usually the case tina,
if the section of the country which has
found fault with one schedule would
consider the transfers to the free list
in comparison with the reductions
that have been made, that section
would see it had been made a benef-
ciary."
General T. S. Sharret, the veteran
tariff expert, who has been a member
OF the board of general appraisers in
New York for many years, declares
the senate bill will show q 2 per cen,
reduction on the Dingley law and ma
terial reduction from the house rates.

Clumsy looking as the great brute is,
Gordon Cumming, the daring big game
hunter, says "a horse and rider can
rarely manage to overtake it." An
other famous African adventurer
writes, "He is not often pursued on
horseback and chiefly because his
speed and endurance are such that it
Is very difficult to come up with him,
to say nothing Of the danger attendant
upon such a course"
Probably every n knows Of the
singular attendant which the rhinoce-
ros has. 1t Is a little bird called by
ornithologists Buphaga africana and
known to hunters as the rhinoceros
bird, or the indicator bird" This lit
tie fellow clings to the animals hide
hy means of its long claws and elastic
tail, feeding on the insects that infest
the leathery skin. In doing this it rem
ders great service to the huge brute,
but a trifing one as compared to it's
other duty. 1t acts as sentinel to warn
its movable feeding place of approach
ing danger. While 1t Is eating it is
ever on the alert. and at the earliest
sign of the hunter it flies in the air,
uttering it's warning note, which is
ever quickly needed, the %rhinoceros
starting off at ono In the direction
taken by its watchful friend. Mr..
Cumming states that when the rhi-

the approach of the hunter, fails to
awaken him by it's voice it will arouse
him by picking the delicate inside of
his ear.
The thick hide and the small brain
Of the rhinoceros render him difficult
to kill with a rifle. Some Of these ami
mails when slain are found to have
from two to seven or eight heavy bull
let's under their skins, which they may
have carried for years. The small
brain is very difficult to reach with a
bullet because Of a thick, bony forma
ton that surrounds it, so the wise
marksman usually aims at the chest
SO as to penetrate the lungs, or at thu
back Of the neck to sever the verte
