liee OF Lynn, Mass.

and believed to be that of an Arme-
nian, was found packed in a trunk
in lodging house at No. 14S Liberty
street. The head was mutilated and
there was a bullet wound over the
heart.
In a pocket bank book was found
bearing the name of Minas K Mori-
jian. The room was rented eight
weeks ago by Frank Jones, a shoe
factory workman, who, it is said, had
not occupied it for several days.

keeper, and her husband, who had
found a stream of blood trickling
from the bottom of the trunk. The
police were notified and search was
begun for Jones. On May 80 a new
trunk was brought to the house for
Jones. In the bank book was a note

Argentina and Bolivia on the Brink
of HostiIties.
Buenos Ayres-The Argentine gov
ernment has sent its passports to
the Bolivian minister here, ordering
him to leave Buenos Ayres within "a
hours.
The government has also tele'-
graphed Senior Fonseca, Argentine
minister to Bolivia, to leave La Paz
Immediately
The action of the Argentine gov
ernment follows the refusal of Bo-
livia to accept the decision of Argen-
tina in the matter Of the boundary
dispute between Bolivia and Peru.
The Bolivian minister advised the Ar
gentine government that Bolivia had
decided to submit to parliament for
consideration the arbitral award rem
dered by President Alcorta, which, in
itself. was considered sufficient rea-
son for breaking off relations. In ad-
dition, however, the Argentine repub-
lie has taken offense at the action OF
the president of Bolivia, who, it is
asserted has sent circulars to the
projects throughout the country, cast
ing reflections on tse Argentine gov
ernment.

TRAIN GOES INTO RIVER.
Several Fatalities Occur In Wreck on
Wabash Road.


Wabash Road.
Kansas City Mo.-SiX lives lost.
three people probably fatally hurt, is
the result of the wreck of Wabash
passenger train No. when it
plunged into the Missouri river, 80
miles east of here.
At the scene of the wreck the river
makes a bend and the railroad fol-
lows it. For days the flood waters
have been undermining the roadbed,
making it too weak to hold up the
heavy trains. Fifty feet of the road
bed suddenly collapsed and the en-
gine and cars piled one on the other
in the water.
The train was running fourteen
miles an hour, but the telescoping Of
the forward cars allowed the three
rear cars to stop so gradually that
their occupants were hardly shaken.
Eight mail clerks were saved only
by the fact that the roof of their car
was torn off and allowed them to get
out on top of the car and swim fo1
the shore. None escaped injury.

from Sourabaya, Java, of disastrous
earthquake on the west coast of Su-
matra, the second largest island in

the Tricolor, 800 lives were lost.
The earthquake followed an erup-
tion of Mount Korintji, a volcanic
peak, 12,400 feet high and inland so
miles from Indrapura. Mount Ko-
rintji has long been supposed to be
an extinct volcano, its crater having
been filled with large lake.

CASHIER ABSCONDS
Anderson, S. C., Bank Looted Of
Large Sum.
is PLACED AT $35, 900
Speculation Proves the Downfall of
J. 7. HolIeman, a Trusted En-
ployee-PersonaI Property Left to
Bank.

Anderson, s. Cit has developed
that Cashier J. T. Holleman, of the
Bank of Anderson, who suddenly left
for parts unknown Sunday morning,
embezzled approximately $4,000 of
the funds of the bank. A letter left
by Holleman, addressed to the presi-
dent Of the bank, states that he lost
the money in speculating in cotton
futures.
The shortage was discovered when
Assistant Cashier Sharpe attempted
to balance the cash. The letter to
President Mauldin was found in the
cash box. 1t recited that Holleman
began speculating one year ago with
$500, which he had saved. After los
ing this he borrowed $1,000 from the
bank, but his losses continued, and
then, he admits, he began using the
banks money freely.
Holleman directed that all his real
and personal property be turned over
to the bank officials, which is small
compared with his shortage.
The directors have issued a state
ment in which it was announced that
Holleman's defalcation would not be
over $4,000, and that the bank would
not be impaired. The banks surplus
is s225,OOO.
State Bank Examiner Wilson is
making an examination of the banks
books.
Holleman is so years of age, and
has a wife and several children. He
has resided here for twenty years,
and enjoyed the confidence of not
only the bank officials, but of the
citizens of the town generally.

and at home is hourly growing worse.
A dispatch from Barcelona says that
a battalion of troops about to, be en-

turned their weapons against their

other troops quartered near by, but
it is feared that their example will
be followed by other regiments, which
are expecting to be dispatched
against the tribesmen.
