vate James Peters, Of the One Hundred

lery, at that post, under surveillance un-
til further orders. Peters is suspected of
being a spy for the Austro-Hungarian

Capt. Watson said he had come in pos
session of important papers, which,
backed up by affidavits, tended to prove
that Peters is serving a period of three
years enlistment in the United States
army. in disguise, for the purpose of OBJ
tanning important military secrets. This
IS the conclusion, apparently, that was
reported, as placed in the hands Of Capt.
Warren yesterday by Miss Clara Dyer.
a young Kentucky woman. who is said
to have been engaged to marry Peters;
also to have aroused suspicion by her
manner in which she endeavored to gain
the assistance of Capt. Watson in pur-
chasing the discharge of the soldier.
Miss Dyer is said to have confessed
that Peters had told her he was an Aus
trian count, and had come to the United
States for the purpose of learning the
secret composite of a powerful explosive,
The case of Private Peters is the first
to be laid before the War Department
under the new law providing punishment
as spies for persons who attempt to
gain any military information improper
1y. The punishment for such an offense
is $1,000 fine or imprisonment for one
years, or both. Because of this the case
IS given some Importance in the War De-
partment: A thorough investigation will
be made of Peters record Immediately

NEW YORK BOY COMPLETES

make his way to Washington unassisted.
except by his own labors.
About Z o'clock last night Alfred
hoped nimbly from a Baltimore and
Washington electric train at Fifteenth
and H streets northeast, with SO cents
in his pocket. and walked to the home of
a cousin, w. j. Slater. 40 New Jersey
avenue southeast. having made good his
boast and put to rout the fncredulity of
his father, who told him he couldn't get
past Newark, N. j.
Alfred was not a runaway. He was
merely a self-sure young New Yorker
who did not believe that such slight OBJ
stacles as financial stringency should
keep Young America from travelling. His
trip was made with the consent of his
father, a New York merchant. who kept
in touch with him throughout the trip.
Young Ferguson travelled in style

walk more than twenty miles of the en-
tire distance between here and New
York. He rode most of the way with
friendly automoblists, but to vary the
monotony he tried practically every
other means of conveyance, except the
aeroplane. He rode on the rear of motor
cycles, in wagons and carriages, in boats.
and even on the back of a kindly red
cow that was being led between Bound
brook and Harrington, N. J.
When he returns to New York soon,
Alfred will go on a train, but not from
choice. He would gladly return by the
same methods he came. except that his
father believes one trip a summer is
enough for any lad his age and size.
But Alfred doesn't advise the same sort
OF vacation jaunt for every boy.
No. he replied In answer to a ques-
ton, every fellow my age couldn't have
gotten along. I know several fellows at
school who would have fallen down, be-
cause they would be afraid to get their
hands dirty. Some fellows who run down
stairs to wash their hands every time
they have sharpened a pencil would have
hard time with the different work I did
to earn my board and lodgings. But it's
good fun. II a fellow has enough nerve to
ask for what he wants. and is not afraid
to work for what he gets"

MINER FOUGHT WITH WILDCAT

1t is an interesting experience
for man to come out of his cab in
at night and be assaultc d by a wild
cat, says the Tonopah Bonanza.
THIS is what happened to j. w.
Lasson, who is in charge of t. e
Elftman holdings at Golden Arrow,
the other night, according to sto-
ry told by George L. Bailey. who
is in towr from there.
LlSSJI heard commotion out
side his cabin, in which, his pet cat
seemed to be mixed up. He went
out to investigate and discovered
that some animal had his cat down
and was giving it all the worst of it.
The momert Mr.. Lasson showed
up, however. the animal sprang
for him and got claw into ca Oh
souIder, ripping and tearing the
cloth into shreds. Mr., ~Easson
managed to get a half Nelson on
the maddened animal and threw il
70 the ground, momentarily
stunning it, and before il revived
sufficiently to attack him again he
got out his knife and cut its
throat. 1t proved to be a wildcat
of very respectable dimensions.
Mr.. Bailey says the G olden
Arrow country abounGs in foxes of
the silver gray variety, the pelts Of
which would be worth over 500
apiece. The other day, while
driving across country he saw a
coyote making in his Direction as

which were separated by con-
siderable distance, but running at
