MODOC SHERIFF
GETS AzPARREN
SHERIFF LAMB GOES AFTER
MAN WHO Is WANTED
FOR MURDER.

Martin Azparren, the Basque
sheepherder who is wanted for the
alleged killing of George Dufferena,
a camp tender, near DEMO on the
18th of last month, is in custody
at Alturas, Cal. Yesterday after
noon Sheriff Lamb received a tele-
gram from Sheriff Smith of Modoc
county notifying him that Azpar-
rem was in custody, that requisition
papers were needed and asking the
Humboldt official to come at once
for the prisoner. Sheriff Lamb
left last night for Alturas, taking
with him Con Kennedy, the lat
ter to be placed in the state in
sane asylum at Reno. The sheriff
will go north from Reno to AL
turas over the MOO. railroad
and the trip there and back will
require three or rour days.
Azparren was located through
description sent out by the sheriff S
Office as soon as the killing became
known here, but this was not until
nearly two weeks after the sup
posed murder, giving him plenty of
time to get out of the country. The
case against him will be purely cir
! cumstantial, as the killing was
done in a lonely sheep camp in the
mountains. AZparren and Duffer-
ena were the only persons in the
camp at the time and the former
is the only living person who
knows exactly what happened. Pre-
sumably he will claim that the kill.
ing was done in self-defense, but
a strong circumstance to disprove
wounds indicate that he was shot
in the back and that rifle was the
weapon used
Dufferena's brothers have offered
a reward of $500 for the arres
and conviction of the murderer
Sheriff Smith, who captured Azpar
rem, was the leader of the Califor
MIA posse who followed Indial
Mikes band of murderers from
Eagleville, Cal, to Glover valley, Il
this county, last February, an
took part in the battle in whic
eight of the Indians were killed.

NEGRO BOXER HELD
UP AS A SUSPECT

A negro who is training for a
boxing bout soon to take place in
Carson City, was held up by the
police of that place yesterday
morning as he was doing some
road work on the outskirts of
town. For a time it was thought
he was the man wanted across the
mountains as an escaped prisoner.
The pugilist did some tall talking
for while, according to the News,
and was then allowed to go his
way. He will carry identification
papers with him hereafter.

PICTURE TAKEN BY
INSANE ADMIRED?
EXPLANATION SUGGESTED FOR
DISAPPEARANCE OF "MoNA
LISA" FROM LOUVRE.

Paris, Aug. 24.-Louis Lepine, the
project of police. frankly admits COM
plete mystifcation in regard to the
disappearance from the Louvre Of
Leonardo da vincfs most famous work
known generally as Mona Lisa" but
popularity called by the French la
Joconde." Up to late today not a
trace OF the picture or the thief had
been found.
1t is generally conceded that anyone
would have perceived the impossibility
OF selling a work so well known and
accordingly other explanations OF the
strange case are sought.
The attendants at the Salon Care,
where the painting had had the place
of honor for Ave years, now tell Of
having wondered at the rapt and
longing regard given the portrait by
a young man who. during recent
weeks, frequently visited the Louvre.
His appearance suggested that he was
of a northen race. He was blonde and
had blue eyes. He would gaze
strangely at the dark Italian beauty

smile" A new theory presented to
M. Hamard, head of the French Sc
cret service, is that this man was In
sane and has abducted the Mona
Lisa"
Descriptions of the stranger are be-
ing distributed.
The Louvre was again closed today
and a search of the building was ore
dered. Paris is aroused to anger
against the authorities for loose ana
negligent care" OF the treasures OF the
gallery
The official belief Is that the por-
trait was taken by person who, dis
guised as workman. entered the mu-
scum with the workmen late yester-
day. According to one OF the first
stories told, two nasons were passing
through the saloon ait Z so a. m, when
one Of them, pointing to Mona Lisa, !,
said to the other. THAT is the finest
picture In the Louvre
An hour later an attendant missed
the picture from its accustomed place.

moved to permit Of Its being photo

upward and saw the shaft in flames.
They at once boarded the cage and
started for the surface but encount-
cred flames at the 1900 foot level
and stopped. Five men left the cage
and started to walk through the L.
200 foot level to the old Alpha shaft,
200 feet away, through which they
hoped to climb out OF the mine
The five men remaining In the cage
gave the signal to hoist. and were
pulled through the blazing shaft. One
was dead when the top was reached,
and the other four were taken to a
hospital.
The work Of rescuing the five men
remaining in the mine was then at
tempted through the Alpha shaft At

Atwood, the American aviator, made
an unexpected landing on farm two
miles back Of here this morning while
making the last lap of HIS long dis
lance aeroplane flight from ST. Louis

there.

daring feat as he passed PoughlSeepsie
by gliding down toward the river sur
face and passing under the towering
Poughkeepsie bridge when he arose
again and flew along his course to
West Point. Scores of people lined
the river banks and cheered Atwood.

IS Merry
Unconcerned When He Sees
Bloodstained Auto
TRIAL is ON In EARNEST
JURY IS COMPLETE AND THE
BATTLE FOR THE LIFE OF THE
VIRGINIAN CHARGED WITH
MURDER OF HIS WIFE is BE-
ING WAGED.

Chesterfield, va. Aug. 24.--The
blooodstained automobile in which
Louise owen Beattie met her death
was driven into the yard of the Ches-
terrified courthouse early today just
before the trial of Henry Clay Beattie,
tr., indicted for wife murder was re-
sumed. The prisoner was on the lawn
when the machine arrived and calmly
inspected 1t. His father raised the
cushion Of the front seat, revealing
a mass Of coagulated blood on the
woodwork.
Court convened at lO:s0 o'clock and
the prisoner took his seat promptly.
Today was the first anniversary of his
marriage to the woman he is accused
OF numbering.
For the first time since his arrest
Beattie slept away from Richmond
last night Held for weeks in the
Henri county Jail he was brought here
yesterday and placed in the little red
brick lookup fifty yards from the old
courthouse.
The first witness to be called for
the commonwealth was Thomas
Owen, an uncle OF the murdered younA
wife, summoned to testify how Beattie
brought the body to the owen home
with his story Of man in the road
way firing into his automobile and
killing Mrs. Beattie.
More than sixty witnesses sub
poenaed by the commonwealth were
called from the lawn, sworn in and
instructed to remain outside near the
courtroom, but not near enough to
hear the testimony, through the win
dow.
Thomas Owen, uncle Of Mrs. Beat
tie to whose home the prisoner
brought the body after the tragedy
took the witness stand while the
prisoner gazed f1xedly at him. Beat
tie drove UP to the house the night Of
the murder, took his young wife into
the car and returned later with the
dead body beside him.
Owen told how the body was lifted
from the car. He said he had not
examined the, body at that time.
When 1t was prepared for burial, how
ever, he saw a wound in the left
cheek, which he described as being
'sbig as a half dollar"
Beattie's blood soaked clothes were
unrolled before the jury and witnesses
identified them. A single barreled
shotgun, with which the common
wealth says the fatal shot was fred,
was then exhibited.

GUN BATTLE
AT ROGER
N. D. Town Had Lively Ex-
periencc Last Night
BANK BANDITS DRIVEN OUT
ROBBERS ATTEMPTED TO BLOW
VAULT, BUT TELEPHONE OPP
orator AROUSED THE TOWN
AND CITIZENS FIRED ON THE
GANG DRIVING THEM AWAY.

Roger, N. d., Aug 24.-Bank rob-
bers, made a desperate attempt to
loot the First State bank of Roger at
l o'clock this morning. Citizens were
aroused by a brave young lady tele-
phone operator and fired into the bank
driving the bandits away before they
could get into the inner vault.
The telephone operator noticed that
something was wrong and went out
to make an examination. She saw a
man NJ telephone pole near the bank
cutting the wires and Immediately
aroused the town.
Ward Ticket, son of the local butch
or, was one OF the first to respond. He
brought a rifle, and taking position
across from the bank, where figures
could be seen moving about with
light, he fired into the bank. Several
shots were exchanged, other citizens
of the town coming up and taking part
in the shooting.
In few minutes there was a rush
from the bank and the robbers came
out and escaped. 1t was an inky black
night, because of clouds that obscured
even the stars. Some of the citizens
thought they heard an auto a few min
utes after the robbers made their run
and believe that they escaped in car.
An examination of the bank showed
that an attempt had been made to
enter the vault but the robbers had
only been able to blow the outer
doors. The cash drawer, containing
$12 in silver. was placed Just inside
the outer doors and this was all that
the robbers secured.
There had been three explosions,
which shattered the outer doors and
the robbers had stopped up the cracks
in the inner doors with soap and were
about to blow them when driven away.
Posses are securing the country in
this vicinity but so far no trace of
the robbers has been secured.
