SLAUGHTER
 AT B|SBEE Two Linotype Men of the Re-
 view Murdered BY WILLIAM PFANKUKC Victims, Asa T. Hoy and William Bockholt, Shot in Back as They Sat at Ma chimes Murderer Under Guard at Tombstone.
BY WILLIAM PFANKUKC

Bisbee. Ariz. Aug. l3.-(SpeciaD- Asa T Hoy. former business manager of the Bisbee Review, and William Bockholt. linotype operator, were murdered at ? o'clock this morning Iu the machine room of the Review by William Pfankuck d printer from Douglas. The tragedy is the continuation of strike Of three weeks ago by the members of the local union against the Review.
 The strike had its origin in a change by which Hoy surrendered the posi- tion of business manager and took a place at one of the machines. It was afterward decided that as a part own CT of the paper he had that right under the rules of the union.
 Pfankuck entered the machine room unobserved and took d position behind BockhOlt and Hoy, who were seated side by side at the machines. He first shot Bockholt in the back and before Hoy could defend himself he. too, was shot in the back, falling from his chair dead Bockholt sprang from his chair and. running to the business office, fell dead.
 There were two other occupants of the room. Miguel Arabelo. the make up, and a boy, Lee Hamilton, em ployed in setting heads. The murder CT fired at Arabelo, who ran. Plan kuck took a shot at the boy and then started in pursuit oI AfabelJ, who escaped by sliding down an elevator cable though fired at as he was descending.
 The firing attracted the attention of Officer Wilmoth, who, when he ap- peared. received a shot in the arm. This emptied the revolver. and Pfan- lluck surrendered to Officer Henry Hall. who by this time appeared on the scene.
 The manner of Pfankuck was cool; he betrayed no excitement He as- sured the officer that he was not crazy. saving, This is not a Harry Thaw case" He said he had killed Hoy and two or three others; he had shot at everything he could see. Plan kuck was hurried across the country to the county jail at Tombstone.
 Hoy came to Bisbee about six years ago and had been connected with the Review ever since. He was a gun man himself; had killed man in Texas. but had been acquitted on the grounds of self-defense
 B0ckholt lived at CovingtOn, Ky, and had been in Bisbee only three days. Not a great deal is definitely known of the murderer. He had been employed in the newspaper offices here. but after the trouble at the Review office he went to Douglas, where he had since worked.
 IL is reported that some years ago he killed a man at Fort Riley, Kas, was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. but not long after was released by pardon. It was the opinion of those who talked with him after the killing this morning that he was in sane.

IA SWEEPING CHANCE
 IN CHINESE LEGATION
Everybody Will Go Out With Wu Ting Fang.

Washington. Aug. 13.-That there will be q complete change in the Chin ese legation here was made evident to- day by a cablegram recalling pr. Yen Wei Ching. second secretary to Pe- kin. Dr. Yen is a graduate of the University of Virginia and came here with MT. Wu. His acquaintance with American affairs made him a, prom inent factor in Mir. Wu's regime.
 Dr. Yen's sympathy for reforms in China was one of his distinguishing traits. Chang Yin Ling. who will be- come minister here is regarded as in perfect accord with Mir. Wu in his general views of the development of China While Chang Yin Ling was educated at home and speaks little English. he is said to be in sympathy with the policy of adopting western ideas.

AN ATTEMPT IN 4 BANK Bandits Two Eighteen Year
 Old Bogs MADE 4 GOOD START
Chauffeur With a Revolver at His Head, by a Pretended Accident, Kills" Engine and Con tributes to a Capture.

San Jose. Cal, Aug. 12-Two youths. neither of whom appears to be more than IS, and both of whom refuse to disclose their true names or where they live, are in the county Jall after daring but vain attempt to get away with S7,315 taken from the santa Clara Valley bank of Santa Clara shortly after it opened for business this morning. The boys en- tered the band. ordered two women. the only patrons then in the building to step outside, and then while one Of them forced the four employees of the bank to one side of the room and held them ehere at the point of a re- Volvcr, the other leaned through the paying teller's window and emptied all the gold in sight into a strong sack which he carried. He then rushed from the building to an auto mobile which was waiting outside and jumped in, his partner backing out of the bank and keeping the officials covered with his gun all the time
 When in the machine, which they secured at the San Jose garage, and which was driven by Ray Brown. they pointed reVOlvers at his head and ordered him to drive out on the San Francisco road toward Lawrence at full speed. As they started off F. A. Birge, cashier Of the bank, fired a shot after them. but it went wild. serving only to give the alarm. Be sides Birge. the men in the bank were Vice President A. Harris. Paving
  Johnson, a bOObkeeper. With two re- yolvers pointing at his head all the way. Brown drove the robbers toward Lawrence as directed, as far as the Block packing house, which is about a mile out of Santa Clara. Here he he purposely allowed the machine to skid into a tree with such force that his engine was killed. Then he fixed the throttle so that no gasoline was released and pretended to crank the engine.
 The boys finally despaired of con- tinuing their way in the machine and started off across the country, carry ing the money with them. In the meantime. Sheriff Langford had been notified and, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Stamper. started in pursuit in an automobile. They soon met Brown. who had started back to Santa Clara, and following his directions overlook the boys. who submitted without a fight. The robbers are now at the county jail and have been closely questioned by Sheriff LangfOrd and District Attorney Free, but they re fuse to tell anything of their past life or make known their true names.

Station Is Being Tried on very
Serious! Charge i{. g
ALLEGED GRIMES WERE e3 81
COMMITTED SOME TIME AGO
Hinkle Was Arrested In the West
This Spring After Long Search &
by Railroad Detectives Fl

The Circuit Court Is trying the case
OF the state Of West Virginia vs.. Ed
ward Hinkle for stealing q piano and
for obtaining goods by false pretense.
There ara two counts in the indlct-
ment. I'D t,s5
Hinkle during the years OF 1906 and
F1907 was assistant chief clerk at the
local station. Late Il, the year 1907 he
resigned his position. Following his
resignation several things were dis
closed that excited suspicion. This
suspicion became intensified as other
developments progressed and the po-
lies department Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company was brought
into requisition to ad In ferreting out
many discrepancies that were patent
on the records or were latent by the
absence Of records. i
The on:' thing that most excited
the railroad officials to action was a
claim presented to the company by
S, L. Ford OF West Union for $500
for the payment Of piano that was
lost by the company In transporting
from Utica. New York.
The case that the state hopes to
prove was worked up by 4. c. Karnss
who was then a detective for the Bal.
timore and Ohio Railroad Company.
He arrested Hinkle on May I. 1908 at
Buckhannon and brought him to this
city where he gave bond In the sum
OF $1,000 for his appearance at court.
Hinkle left. S:veral weeks ago De-
tective J. NJ. Powell Of the Baltimore
and Ohio. Railroad Company found
him at Assumption. III. He brought
the prisoner hers. The grand jury
found an Indictment against him and
the case Is now in progress.
The State hopes to prove that Hlnk.
lie stole the piano that was bought by
s. L. Ford Of West Union through
W. F. Randolph, OF Lost Creek, agent
for the Bnmbach Piano Company,
of Utica, N. Y. The number Of the
piano is 15,175 and was properly BILL
ed to S. L. Ford. The State alleges
that when the plano reached here
Hinkle tagged It to himself, without
record to Adrian station on the Coal
and Coke railroad. The State further
alleges that Hlnkle had tha plano
shipped back to Fairmont, In the
name Of C. E. Hartman.
There was no man In this city by
the name OF C. g. Hartman conse-
dn"ntly the piano was not called for.
Hinkle had It placed in storage at
the Smith Race Grocery Company's
storage room. Mr.. Hartman was no
titled through the United States mail
by the Smith Race Grocery Company
that n piano had been placed In It's
care. :Ela
The letter was never returned, nei-
ther was the piano ever called for. It
stayed in storage about nine months.
