CT His Assailant-Other o.
ficers Assist Wounded
Policeman.

Dallas, Texas, July 2O.-Patrol-
man Louis Spencer has a seven-inch
knife-cut under the left arm and
straight down the shoulder muscles,
which may have gone to the pleural
cavity, and K. G.. Roach, white man
about twenty-five years of age, has
three bullet wounds through his
body as the result of fight which
occurred between Spencer and Roach
and a brother of Roach in a negro
house at Young and Poydras streets
soon after O'Clock yesterday after
noon. y. d. Roach, brother of the
wounded man, is under arrest.
Both the wounded men were i'm
mediately taken to the emergency
hospital
Neither Roach nor his brother
would make any statement as to the
affair except that f. G. Roach said
he had been wrongfully accused.
Patrolman Spencer was not allow
ed to make any statement by the
surgeons.
Roach is shot through the left
arm at the elbow. the bullet entering
from the front; again just below the
left knee, and a third time through
the body just below the floating
ribs, the bullet entering at the right
side. Spencer fired all three shots,
according to those who saw the
shooting, which took place outside
the house
Patrolman Roberts and Deputy
Constable Wells arrived on the
scene within a few minutes after the
shooting took place. According to
what Officer Roberts learned, a ne
gro woman made complaint that
one of the men had stolen a comb
from her Spencer located the men,
and went into the house where they
were. Accused of the theft. the cut
ting occurred and the men broke
for cover, with Spencer behind them,
despite the gaping wound in his
shoulder.
As he reached the door he com
menced firing, and evidently every
one of his bullets took effect.
Officer Roberts captured one of
the men, while Constable Wells Sc
cured the wounded man, and a call
was Immediately sent for the ambu-
lance, in which the wounded officer
and his prisoner were taken to the
emergency hospital, while the other
party was garfield to the city hail

"PINAFoRE" PRODUCED BY
oxNARO DRAMATIC CLUB

II. NJ. s. Pinafore," Gilbert ant
Sullivan's delightful comic opera, was
prettily staged in Oxnard, ventura
county. by the Amateur Dramatic club
of that city last week under the direc-
tion of Mrs. G.. p Austin. The Dig
gest crowd ever seen in the local play
house vociferously proved by their ap-
plause that comic opera is not dead.
The features of the evening were the
acting of the principals. The cos
tunes and scenery left nothing to be
desired. and the staging was admir-
able. The sailors hornpipe was
danced i'm the first act by Mrs. I. b.
Blackburn. Between acts an old-time
court minuet was given by four
couples in seventeenth century cos
tunes, and made a pronounced hit.
The presentation was under the au-
spices of the board of trade, and near
ly $1,000 was realized for new play
grounds This is the first thing of the
sort to be given in this little city, and
the success is due to Mrs. Austin, who
has, with Prof. Bensel as accompanist
and musical director, been responsible
for the whole of the training. Re-
hearsals will be commenced with the
new year for something else to be put
on at Easter.

PREDICTS RETURN OF
WORLD TO BARBARISM

ROME. Dec 1S.-Great attention is
being attracted by the seances of Mile,
Tonica Markovich, one of the most
prominent of the many spiritualistic
mediums who have arisen in Rome
since the late Professor Lombroso set
the fashion.
Mile. Markovitch claims to write at
the dictation of the disembodied spirit
of a young man named Dusok, who
died ten years ago at Agram. Her
1 method is to hold in her right hand a
4 pencil, stretching her arm across a
small table, the pencil remaining mo-
/ onless while "the writings of the
spirit" are recorded by the movement
OF the table.
lsSome serious prophecies have been
recorded through the medium of Mile.
Markovich, the "spirit" being very
pessimistic about the future of Eu-
rope. The spirit declares that human
ity is now satiated with civilization,
and has teached limit impossible to
pass. Indeed, the development of the
human race shortly will be arrested,
and the world will relapse into barbar-
ism.
The spirit proceeds to explain that
up to the present men have continued
to increase in numbers. That increase
now win stop, and then will begin
gradual diminution, coincident with
which will be a series of events which
will tend to the degeneration of man
kind.
Mile. Markovichs spirit states that
aviation will be largely responsible for
the decadence Of civilization, for the
science when perfected will result in
the destruction of all law and order.
The wiclledness of mankind will find
its triumph in the flying machine. The
great cities-London, New York. Paris,
Chicago, Berlin and Rome-will be the
first to decay and will gradually be-
ocme depopulated.
Mile. Markovitch's reputation is in
creasing daily, and there are many
who place implicit credence in her dem

for by the fact that the purchaser of the certificate has neve caused ne
