formerly a conductor on the Seaboard
Air Line and resided at Monroe. He

years ago and his right arm fractur-
ed and also dislocated. Dr. Love

admitting in the answer that the arm
of plaintiff was out of joint The de-
fense contended that Holmes would
not submit to being placed under an
anaesthetic and therefore thorough
diagnosis could not be made. Holmes

In the Republican primary elections
in Kansas, Tuesday, the insurgent
wing of the party, led by Congressman
Murdoch, captured six out of the eight
congressional nominations. The battl'
cry of the insurgents was 'anti-Can-
nonism" In Iowa at the state conven-
ton on Wednesday. Senator Cummins,
insurgent, and his friends controlled
the convention, and in his address said
the Republican party had failed in its

interrupted by the "standpatters.
The Endorsement of President Taft in
the party platform, was scarcely more
than an act of courtesy. In Missouri,
the insurgents made slight gains over
the Cannon wing of the Republican
party, and more than half of the DEM

Clark. were nominated without oppo-
sition. Three regular Republicans were

- Niagara Falls, n. Y, August 8:
While at work on the new pipe line of
the Ontario Power Company. at Mag
ara Falls, Ont, at five o'clock this
evening, Frederick w. Bruce, George
Collett and William Mclaughlin were
killed by contact with metal plates
charged with electricity. The men
were engaged in placing a portion of
the lining inside the eighteen foot
flume, when the plates they were
handling came in touch with the
wires used to light the tube. Their
hands on the steel sheeting and their
feet resting on the steel floor of the
tube formed a perfect circuit and all
three were killed as they stood.
Workmen in the tube, noticing the pc
culiar attitude of the men, hurried to
their assistance and found all three
dead, their hands still upon the steel
plate they had been pushing into
place The current was quickly cut
off, and by the light of candles the
bodies were extricated and laid in a
row on the bottom of the tube. Drs.
Logan, McGarry and Thompson were
summoned and worked over the
bodies of the three men. After half
hour the physicians pronounced the
men dead.
DIR. Hawley H. Crippen, the Lon
don dentist, arrested at Father Point,
Quebec, Sunday, with Ethel Leneve,
will go back to London without a
the
charge of numbering his wife, Belle
Elmore. Since his arrest, Crippen has
maintained silence and has said moth
ing that could be construed as an ad-
mission of any connection with the
murder He at first intended to fight
against extradition but on the promise
of legal aid by friends in London, he
has decided to voluntarily return to
face the charge. Inspector Dew is
hoping that the Leneve girl will be in
duced to tell all she knows and if he
is successful in his efforts it is believ-
ed that damaging evidence against the
accused will be brought out. In Que
bee the pair have been kept apart and
the doctor will have no further oppor-
tunity to exercise any influence over
the girl. The English relatives of Miss
Leneve are urging her to tell the Of
ficials all she knows about the dentist
and it is not unlikely that she will
finally weaken and turn loose all the
information she has on Crippen and
his past life. The accused man is
highly pleased over the proffer of le-
gal aid by London friends. He is bas-
ing his hopes of escape on the difficult
ty of the London police in positively
identifying the corpse found in the
cellar of the London house as that of
Belle Elmore. The identification will
be especially difficult because of the
advanced stage of the decomposition
of the corpse.
