Strange Man With Gun

Woman Screams and
He Then Drops

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
NEW YORK, July s.
Fear that a fanatic journeyed
to Norwich, Conn.,, last Tues
day to make an attempt on
the life OF President Taft, is
causing no little worry in po-
lice circles here. The sudden
scream of a woman, who saw
man with a revolver con-
cealed beneath his coat, ap-
proach the president, is ac-
cepted by many as the means
of Taft's salvation.
According to James P. Ward, a
detective sergeant who was order
ed to Norwich to aid the police OF
that city in handling the crowds
that attended the 250th anniver-
sary of its founding, he rushed 70
the side of the woman when she
screamed. The woman tainted
but when she was revived, told
Ward OF the man with the gun.

said, "and were within ten feet of

Robbery was evidently the sole
motive for the crime, for the 5000
which the Bronzos had saved Is
missing. 1t is believed that un-
der some pretext the stranger
|either induced the woman to take
the money with her when he en-
ticed her to take the midnight trip
to Black Diamond, or that he re-
turned to the home after the crime
and found the money for himself.
Husband Finds Body.
The body of the murdered wom-
an was discovered at. 9 o'clock this
morning by Mr., Bronze, who start
ed a search as soon as he returned
from work in the mine at 4
o'clock. Neighbors told Bronco
that his wife had left hurriediy
for Black Diamond at midnight
with stranger, but when the nus
band found that their savings
were missing he became suspicious
and began to investigate.
Head Battered In.
The body with the head terri
bly, battered was lying near the
Northern Pacific tracks and, sur
rounding 1t, were several bloody
cobble stones spattered with blood,
showing plainly that the fiend had
stoned his victim TO death.
No One Saw Stranger.
Mrs. Bronco was greatly excited,
according to the neighbors. when
told by the unknown man that her
brother had been killed In mine
at Black Diamond and she did not
hesitate to walk the six miles with
him to reach her brothers side.
Neighbors did not see the stranger
and the officers have no descrip-
ton OF him nor any clue which
might lead to his arrest.
That the slayer was intimately
acquainted with the affairs OF the
Bronco family and that he knew
they had money Is evident, ana
the theory is that he is, or mas
been an employe or the mine
there.
Inquest Being Held.
Word of the tragedy was sent
to Coroner Shaver and to Sheriff
Morris early this morning and
the former, accompanied by Dep
uty Doten. left for the scene OF
the crime. An inquest Is being
held there this afternoon.
Deputy Sheriff Doten will prob
ably stay in Wilkeson for severaf
days in an endeavor to find some
clue to the fiendish slayer OF Mrs.
Bronco, and 1t Is probable that
other officers may be sent there.

years OF age and had lived In

Big Factory on Tideflats

This Morning Will

Fire which broke out in the
employees bath room about 6
o'clock last night, totally destroy
ed the plant of the Peterman Man
ufacturing company. East o street
and Puyallup avenue. The saw
mill, sash and door factory and
other buildings of the plant were
all razed to the ground. The
flames ragged all night and the
ruins were still burning this morn
ing.
The loss Is estimated at be.
tween 100000 and $4,000, part
ly covered by insurance. More
than ~ 900 feet of rough lum-
ber and about 1000 finished doors
were destroyed, as was also the
B0dye machinery of the com
t.nn 80 .sile plant covered about
two acres of ground.
Firemen Handicapped.

mains In that section, 1t was neces-

Horses in Slough.
While attempting to cross mar
row bridge near the burning build
ings three of the big horses hitch
ed to a fire engine we're crowded
on into a slough of mud and
water. The horses were pulled
out with considerable difficulty
and one of them was badly cut.
The bridge over which the team
ster attempted to drive the three
horses was scarcely wide enough
for two and when one horse was
crowded off he pulled the other
two In with him.
Cottage Burned.
A small cottage to the west of
the factory, owned by Mrs. Lund,
was burned, hut the woman was
assisted by neighbors In getting
her most valuable furniture out
before the flames reached the
house. She had no insurance.
Seventy-five Out Of Work.
The blaze has put about 75 men
out Of employment. This is the
busiest season of the year with the
company and several large orders
we're being filled.
Second Loss.
This Is the second time within
two years that this company has
suffered the loss OF its plant by
fire. The first plant. which was
located on Cedar street, was razed
about two years ago.
1t is probable that, as in the
first instance, the plant viii be
rebuilt.

Rescue parties sent to the relief
of the passengers of the wrecked
Santa Fe passenger train No. g.,
which yesterday afternoon plung-
ed over an embankment into the
Marais de Cynge river near Po-
mona, Kas., fifty miles southwest
of this city, are stalled near the
scene of the wreck, and are in
grave danger.
Messages that reached this city
today reported that the relief
train had approached within a
few miles of the scene of the
wreck, but the rapidly rising wa
ters have cut off immediate ad-
vance, and rendered a return trip
extremely hazardous.
Four Cars in River.
Detailed news from the wreck
is lacking. The report that the
four-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Carrie Robes was killed was con-
firmed today. Two women are
known to have been hurt serious
ly. Four cars are lying In the
rushing waters of the river, while
a great gap in the track marks
the place from which they
plunged.
The flood sitaution throughout
Kansas is serious. The water in
all Kaw river tributaries is ris-
ing, and the Kaw is swollen far
beyond it's banks. and is rising
rapidly at Topeka.
