JAILED FOR FORGING CHECKS
Young Brideeroom's Elopement Ends
When Paper Reaches Bank.

Butler, Pa, Aug. 2l.-Torn from his
bride of few days on their wedding
trip at Mercer, Pa, and jailed on a
charge of forgery, George Bester, aged
Is, faces trouble. Bester left Butler
with Anna Bergman, daughter Of John
Bergman of Freeport, not yet II, and
they were married at Alliance, o., last
week. At New Castle, en- route &c
Mercer to visit Bester's grandmother
they sent message to Butler an.
nouncing their marriage,
Another message came from a New
Castle bank in the form of check on
the Butler Savings and Trust compa'
n.y. with the name of S. S. Gill, But
Ter contractor signed to it, 1t was
pronounced forgery. The check, II
is said, had been cashed to pay hotel
bill. At Mercer another check was
cashed. Gill at once telephoned the
Mercer bank to cause the arrest of
the young man.
Yesterday Bester appeared at the
teller's window with another check
and was arrested. The girl-wfe plead
ed vainly for his release. Information
was also made against Bester before
Butler justice, one of the alleged bo-
gus checks having been cashed here
before the marriage. The Mercer au.
thorities held the accused bridegroom
for trial,
Bester met the pretty Freeport girl
few weeks ago at the home of her
sister here and was very attentive.
Her father objected to Bester and he
Is alleged to have threatened to shoot
the sultor. Bester swore out a surety
of the peace warrant against Bergman,
who was placed under bond to keep
the peace. Determined to take his
daughter away Bergman ordered her
to go home. Instead she met Bester
and they went to Alliance.

Thrilling Escape Of the Twenty-Five
PASSENGERS,

The steamer Fred Swain, Captain
Verne Swain, of the Peoria and La
Sale Packet company, with 20 passen.
gers and Is sailors aboard, burned tc
water after the flaming craft had been
piloted to the bank of the Illinois riv.
er, up which the steamer was bound
when 1t caught fire.
No lives were lost, but Joseph Gas.
rider, the engineer, was burned about
the face and body and Charles Reiche.
berger of Peoria suffered broken
arm.
The loss is $4,000 Several of the
passengers lost their belongings.
The escape of the burning vessel
and passengers, most of whom were
women and children, was exciting and
at one time when flames were discov.
cred Issuing from a stateroom on the
second deck panic reigned. The gang
plank was lowered to the waters edge
when the steamer had been beached.
After two boats had loaded and
started for shore the gang plank
caught fire and fell away from the
steamer, letting fifteen persons, in,
cluding several women and children,
into the water.
Thomas Powers of Peoria and f. A.
Caron of Worcester. Mass, who were
on the plank when it fell, each saved
the lives of two children. half carrying
and half swimming with the tots on
their backs and shoulders to old tree
stumps to await the arrival of res.
cuers.
Engineer Casrider after attending
to the boilers to guard against an ex.
plosion went to the pumps, remaining
there until the flames licked his face.
Severely burned and almost blind he
turned to escape only to find that a
rowboat which had been left for him
had caught fire. He got into the boat,
however, and beating the flames from
him and rowing hard reached shore.
He was taken to a hospital.

md broke without warming.
Shortly before $3.50 a mob of strik-
ers and sympathizers gathered in front
# swinging gates of the stockade and
jegan concerted attack. The state
roopers resisted and in the melee
Larry Exler, a deputy sheriff, so years
old, was shot and killed by supposed
strike sympathizer.
In an effort to arrest man picked
out Of the crowd as the one who did
the shooting, State Trooper Smith was
fatally wounded by a revolver bullet
Two other troopers on foot were also
shot and wounded, falling into the
arms of thair. comrades
The state troopers then opened fire
on the mob in a volley for the first
time since the inception Of the strike
Six strikers fell to the ground at the
first round, three of them reported fa-
tally wounded.
Members of the mob then opened
fire with rifles in return. Several troop
ers are supposed to have been wound
ed. An ambulance which was carry
ing the wounded troopers to hospit-
al was later attacked and the driver
was forced to flee. The frightened
horses plunged through the crowd,
knocking down several persons. A de-
tachment of troopers drove the ambu-
lance to the hospital.
The following partial list of dead
and injured was made up from reports
received at the morgue, hospitals and
several physicians Offices
The dead: John l.. Williams, state
trooper; Harry EXler, deputy sheriff;
three foreigners.

state trooper; Lucelian Jones, state
trooper; seven foreigners.
George Kitch and John O'Donnell,
state troopers. were seriously injured
and one woman was shot in the neck
Over score of persons received more
or less serious injuries.
The riot scene was practically inde-
scribable. Mounted troopers galloped
indiscriminately through the streets
with riot maces drawn, cracking the
heads of all persons lettering in the
vicinity of the mill. Deputy sheriffs
and troopers broke in the doors OF
houses. suspected of being the retreat
of strikers, and wholesale arrests were
made.
During the early stages Of the riot.
ing women were conspicuous Some
of them were armed, others effectively
used clubs and stones. These women,
all foreigners, insane with rage, were
mainly responsible for melting the
men to extreme measures. At mid
night quiet reigned in the strike zone.

TO STOP EGG ADULTERATION
Government Will Prosecute Violators
of Pure Food Law

Eggs, whether they are dessicated,
liquid dried or in any form other
than inclosed in the covering given by
nature will be construed by the gov
ernment to be in vocation Of the pure
food laws.
The crusade which was started in
Chicago and Washington will be pros
ecuted in all sections. with the hope
that the government will find itself
strong enough to compel the sale Of
eggs as they come from the hens of
the country.
The pure food experts insist that the
egg is an article that must not be
adulterated; that any adulterstion
adds impurities to it.
