Seriously " ounds His Rival.

AloRRIsTowE. n. j.. juno 2s.-Philip
Casscse or Garcia. as he sometimes calls
himself. was in a bad humor last night.
His sweetheart had been out walking with
Ralph Gudege and this angered Philip.
He sw ore that he would kill the man who,
he thought, was winning the affections Of
his girl and he started out to find him
with six shooter and an extra supply Of
bullets in his trousers pocket.
Gudege is now in All Souls Hospital
here with bullet wound in his back near
tho shoulder blade and 6ill probably die.
and Antonio Mercendante, who tried
TO prevent murder, is dead in his home in
North street with a bullet through his
heart. Both were shot by Philip.

man Ryan of the Madison force heard
several shots in the neighborhood OF
North street. Madison. Ryan found the
street lined with excited Italians. Mer-
cendante lay dead on tho pavement two
doors from his home. A hundred yards
away Ryan found Gudege lying wounded.
He said that Philip had shot him.
For some time, the friends Of Philip
say, he has been jealous Of his sweetheart,
and when he learned that Gudege was
king headway in the girls affections
he became ugly Early in the evening he
was talking about the & ri and said he
would settle matters with Gudege when
they met. Shortly before 10 O'clock a
crowd gathered in the street to listen to
Philips story OF his love affairs. While
this was going on Gudege came along and
pushed his way into the crowd. In an
[nRtant Philip grabbed Gudege by the
hand. shot'was heard and the crowd
scattered. women screaming and men
calling to their women. The shot had
been aimed at Gudege. but it missed, and
the man succeeded in relea sing himself
from the tight grasp OF his fellow country
men. Up North street he went, and then
another shot was fired. 1t too went wild.
A third shot found its way into GudeSe's
back and the Italian fell upon his face on
the ground. Philip then emptied his re-
volver in the air and reloaded It.
All this time Mercendante had been
trying TO calm his friend Philip, but the
excited man only became more ugly
Fearing that some OF the children would
be hit by a stray shot from the revolver
Mercendante laid restraining hand upon
Philip. Philip uttered an oath. 80 the
neighbors say. and fred at Mercendante
maker fell dead. More shots were fired
into the air and then Philip ran up North
street into Fark avenue and beat his way
In the darkness toward Miilburn, where
he was caught early this morning.
Mercendante worked hard to support
his wife and six children He was friend
OF Philip and when shot down he had gone
out to see II he couldn't persuade the half
cra9ed loveeiCk man TO cease his shooting.

EIyIRA BALL TOWED TO PORT.
Abandoned Schooner Taken Ont Of the
way Of Shipping After Many Months.


BOSTON. June 2S.--Word was received
to-day that the waterlogged schooner
Elvira Ball. which has been drifting about
since February IS. when she WAS aban-
doned while on passage from Jackson
vile to this port. had been picked up and
towed into Fayal the Azores! Since
abandonment OF the craft by her crew
she had drifted thousands OF miles. driven
by winds and currents out OF the steam
ship lanes. reported first in one place and
then from 100 to 800 miles away.
Steamship captains had come to dread
this waK OF the sea. On two different
occasions big liners have been stopped
and boats sent to the wreck TO set her on
fire, but she defied all attempts TO destroy
her. and continued TO sail a crazy course
over the seas.
The wreck destroyer Seneca made sew
erAl Intellectual efforts to locate her. and
tugs which were sent by the owners OF the
vessel at New London to tow her In had
no better luck. But the Ball continued
to sail her course until a steamer finally
discovrrered her on the Azores and took
her into Fayal. II will be a handsome
prize. for the lumber and hull are said to
be worth at least $4,000.

Loses "Roll" Through
Misplaced Confidence

On the complaint of Henry
Wood, a laborer, Andrew Murphy
and James O'Farrell were arrest
ed by the police last night and
locked up at the city Jail on the
charge of hold-up and robbery. 1t
was the saem old story of mis-
placed confidence. Wood came
from Auburn Saturday with a
quantity of money, and succeeded
In spending nearly all of his roll
by last night. He fell in with
the other men, and the trio de-
cided to go to the freight yards
and board a freight train for Cen
tralia, where they intended to get
employment.
When the three men reached
East l. and Puyallup avenue, &C
cording to Wood, his new-found
companions held him up, took all
his money, and even ripped open
his blanket roll to see If he had
any other possessions. The men
were arrested on descriptions fur
hished the police by Wood, and
will be tried in police court this
afternoon.

The wheat CORNER and the
FARmER---hIS SIDE OF IT

RICHMOND, Va.y May 18.-"It
isn't the farmer who gains by the
wheat corner prices, it's the specu-
lator. The farmer gets little good,
and much harm, by erratic boost
ing of the price,"
So Chas. s. Barrett of Georgia,
national president of the Farmers
Union of America, threw back a
hot denial at the Patten defenders
while in the city here today.
It has been a favorite argument
of those who defend the Patten
corner that the high prices were a
benefit to the producer, and that a
good corner encouraged more
farmers to raise wheat. Barrett
laughed when this was put up to
him.
TITS rubbish" he said.
'Th6y used to say the same
thing about cotton manipula-
tion," he said. But the grower
had always parted with his cot
ton too soon. Next year he would
exert himself to raise big crop,
and would hold it--witli the re-
cult that prices were down to
nothing the next year."
"This arbitrary and spasmodic
price raising only unsettles the
farmer. Very few of the wheat
faisers are getting any benefit
from Patterns corner. They've
disposed OF the wheat already.

cigaret law says: EVERY person
who shall manufacture, sell, give

wrappers shall be guilty of a mis-

This not only hits the dealer
but the smoker. He may not have
the diabolical smelling things in
his possession. II he is caught
with the cigaret wrappers in his
pockets he will be arrested. and
fined. The enforcement OF the
law will mean that cigaret smok-
ing will have to be done, II at all,
Just like opium smoking, in secret.

BIC WHEAT CROP
IN WASHINGTON
THIS SEASON

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SPOKANE, May 1S.-With the
fertile wheat fields of the Inland
Empire soaked six inches from
the surface of precipitation during
the last two days, ground at
greater depth dampened by SHOWS,
the weather turning warmer and
growing grain well started, jubil-
ant ranchmen throughout the dis
trict predict the greatest wheat
yield in years. Telegraphic re-
ports gathered today from sixty
towns in Eastern and Central
Washington, Northern Idaho and
Oregon tell Of heavy warm rain
in the past three days, giving
fields sufficient moisture to last
until fall seasons bring cooler
weather.
Crops of fruit have been aided,
and with warm weather, pruns,
cherries, apples, pears and april
cots will be harvested in abund-
ance.

AT THE PANTAGEs.

A Seattle girl, barely out Of
high school and scarcely more
than a child in appearance, who
appeared at the Pantages some
time ago in the notorious Salome
dance, has returned to that thea
ter this week In a series Of dances
that are every whit as sensational
and a great deal more undigni-
fed than their predecessor. The
dances are supposed to depict the
death of Cleopatra. Why such a
disagreeable subject should ever
be arranged in dance form to be
presented before respected aud
fences Is an unsolved problem.
The dance is stepped in a NOR
bid atmosphere. 1t is presented
gracefully--h one delights in
looking upon the sleek, sipuous
movements of treacherous
snake. The dance opens with the
bringing of good tidmgs to Cleo
patra, the news that her Antony
is coming back from battle. A
dance of Joy is interrupted with
the news that Antony has been
killed, whereupon the death dance
commences. As climax, the
young person falls fiat on a fight
of stairs, a most unbecoming pos
ture, and lays there stark and
stiff while the curtain slowly de-
sends. Manager Timmons took
the advice of his patrons last week
and ordered the Apache dance
modified. He would do well to
have the Cleopatra dance entire
ly revised.
Two acts at the Pantages that
deserve special mention are The
Under Dog" by Walter Montague
and company, and the double mon
ologue of Scott and Whaley, col
ored comedians.
