II CANE At LAST.

Two weeks ago attention was called
through the columns Of this paper to
the careless running Of automobiles on
the streets OF Milford, by failure to
blow horns or giving proper signals
OF approaching corners Of the streets,
also failure to, carry lighIs after Sun
down. Last Sunday night about eleven
O'Clock, a collision occurred between
an automobile driven by William
Robinson and team driven by Goldey
Isaacs in which was John Truitt.
They came out Of the alley OF the livery
stable owned by Isaacs and turned to-
wards Walnut Street, and apparently,
without looking towards the corner
they were approaching, just as the an
tomobile with lights blazing was turn.
ing the corner at slow rate OF speed
The whole fault appears to have been
that no signal was given, or If given,
it was not sufficiently loud TO warn the
driver Of the carriage, and they met in
a bead.on collision directly in the
middle Of the street opposite the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Mary E Lohand. The
crash was heard in the stiffness Of Sun.
day night for a square distant, and
soon the citizens were out assisting.
The horse was cut badly in the breast
and in several places about the legs
but not fatally injured, and with the
men thrown from their seats, and the
front wheel OF the carriage and a shaft
were destroyed, but no further injury
was done to that end Of the collision
The auto suffered the smashing OF Its
windshield, and the utter destruction
of one Of its reflector gas lamps, while
the radiator was bent backwards over
the engine, causing damage to the ex
tent Of fifty dollars. Had the law been
observed by blowing the horn, possibly
the accident would not hsve happened
but there was also an apparent lack OF
carefulness on the part Of the team
driver. who must have failed to look
towards the corner, or there would
have been ample time to have gotten
the carriage over into the gutter away
from the automobile but, the prime
fact. is the automobile failed to give
warning as the law directs. of its ap-
proaeh to the corner, as it was running
slowly, and would have then been free
from all blame. Mr.. Robinson had
Just returned with q party from Lewes,
and was on his way to the garage, rum

DELAWARE CAMP AIGN
OPENS SATURDAY.

The first voting OF the campaign Of
1910, in this State, will open tomorrow,
Saturday, when the Republicans will
hold their fret primaries throughout
the State TO elect delegates to attend
the state Convention which will be
held at Dover Oh next Wednesday, at
which time the State officers will place
In nomination to be voted for at the
ensuing election in November.
The Republicans are the first to start
the ball rolling this year, and the In
dications are that the coming conven'
tiOn will be one Of harmony among the
party, and that when the State ticket
is nominated, that it will be supported
by the entire Republican strength Of
the State.
The candidates for the various State
officers have not made much meRtion
Of their candidacy, and there is con-
siderable speculation rs to who will be
the choice Of the convention for these
places; it is safe, however, to say, that
the convention will endeavor to nOmi.
nate its strongest and best men and
thus enter into the fight under the most
favorable conditions.

LONE BANK ROBbER
KILLS HIMSELF
SURROUNDED BY POSSE PRE-
FsRS SUICIDE TO ARREST
STOLEN MONEY RECOVERED.

Saina, Kan, Dec. l5.-Earl Ward.
80 years OLD, who this morning
robbed the Bank of Paradise at
Paradise, Kan, securing $4,000,
killed himself when surrounded by
posse of farmers fourteen miles
north of that place late today.
Wards suicide cal,,c as a climax
to one of the most sensational rob.
berries in central western Kansas
in recent years. He had made a
hard ride for liberty, but as the
farmers over the entire section had
been notified by telephone, the
posse easily picked up his trail.
For five hours he succeeded in
eluding his pursuers, but about sun
down he was surrounded fourteen
miles north of Paradise. At first
he seemed to be seeking a route
to liberty through the lines of the
determined farmers, but failing to
find this, he turned his gun upon
himself and sent a bullet into his
brain.
When the members of the posse
reached his side they found $500
that Ward had stolen from the bank.
Bank officials say all the stolen
money was recovered.
Ward, who lived twelve miles
northeast of Luray, Kan, went 20
Paradise last night. He told people
there he was riding across the
state on wager and he attracted
on,y casual notice.
This morning he went to a hard
ward store and purchased a re-
rope. He then went to the DanK
where he covered Cashier Ber
O'Brien and four other men with
the weapon. After the safe had
been opened by the cashier al
Wards direction, the five men were
marched into back room and
forced to lie on the floor The lone
bandit then tied the men and gagg
ed them with a gunny sack.
After looJing the vault, Ward
walked over to the hardware store
and purchased a rifle and large
number of cartridges, and, mount
ing his horse ro.e rapidly away
In a short time the men in the
bank We're discovered by patrons
and were released and a posse was
formed.
