A summary of the days events In
cluded the following incidents:
James B. Mcnamara pleaded guilty
to having placed a dynamite bomb
under the Los Angeles Times build
ing in October, 1910. the wrecking OF
which caused the death of 81 persons
John j. Mcnamara, secretary treas
urer of the International Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, brother of
James B., did not enter a plea to the
indictment, similarly entered against
him for the Times explosion. but when
he is arraigned, next Tuesday, It Is
virtually certain proceedings against
him for this charge Will be dismissed,
because the state admits it has no evil
dence directly connecting John J. with
this particular disaster.
John J.. Mcnamara pleaded guilty,
however to the charge of having
caused the explosion of the Lleweilyn
Iron Works, in which no fatalities &C.
Cured.
District Attorney John F'rederieks
will recommend life Imprisonment for
James b., and 14-year sentence for
John j., but Judge Walter Bordwell
alone can fix the sentence.
Ortie e. McManigal, who confessed
to having actually blown UP the
Ilewellyn Iron Works here in Deem
Der, 1910, at the direction of john J.
Mcnamara, will be brought to trial,
but II is expected the state will recofn-
mend light sentence because he turn
ed states evidence.
Charges of bribery of talesmen
against Bert H. FRANKLIN, a detective
employed by the McNamaras defence,
will probably be dropped, as irrelevant
to the main issue.

Runaway Causes Excitement.

An exciting runaway on lower Main street Wednesday morning was wit messed by several hundred people who were awaiting the passing of the Wild West parade A pair of heavy, gray draft horses hitched to one of Fred B. Eaton's ice supply wagons, was being driven by Andrew Lindstrom. As the runaway was passing along be- tween the railroad crossing and the spool shop, a wire strap, leading from the wagon pole to the nigh horses collar broke. loosening a part of the harness so that it dropped upon the horses legs. This was enough tc ir- ritate the horse, so that he immedi- ately started in to run. and run he did, taking his mate along with him. The pair turned the corner on to Main street at fast clip and caused drivers of all kinds of vehicles to pull up quickly and get out of the way and people at the sides of the street to seek a more secura place Mir. Lindstrom held firm grip upon the reins, but could no nothing to control the excited animals and they continued their mad dash. Just be- ward wheel collided with a telephone pole, throwing the horses to the ground and hurling their driver d dis tance of fifteen feet or more to the ground. He was not injure l. except for a few minor bruises al.d scratches. Some fifteen cakes of ice, about a ton. were dumped into the street as a re- suit of the collision. All who saw the r-catastrophe expected to see and the horses badly done up, but no injury was sustained by either man or beast and no damage done to the wagon.

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Tafts recent message sug- gesting m amendment to the pure food and drugs law in it's relation to pre- pared medicines does not refer to such standard medicines as Foleys Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills. both of which are true medi- c1nes carefully compounded of ingredi- ents whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical profession itself as the best known remedial agents for the diseases they are in tended to counteract. For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound has been a standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for children and for grown persons and it retains today it's pre-eminence above all other preparations of it's kind. Foley Kidney Pills are equally effective and merito- rious. Lee & Osgood Co.

SHEEP OWNERS RIGHTS
Involved in Questions Raised in Filing ton AppeaI-To Be Tried at Superior Courts October Term = Judge Greene's Rulings.

Sheen owners in Connecticut will be interested in what the supreme court will do at it's October term in the ac- ton of the state against Perry G.. Tripp. a sheep owner. of Ellington. MT. Tripp was convicted in the su- perior court in Holland county for kill ing two high bred dogs which were in a pasture where his sheep were. He was fined s25 and costs under each of two counts and the action which comes before the supreme court is his appeal from that penalty. The ap- peal raises the question of the extent to which a man may go in the protec- ton of sheep and lambs, and every sheep raiser in the state will be in- tereSted to know.
 Fred C. Field and Archie Cooley of Somers have a kennel, and are the breeders of high class American fox hounds. At 6 o'clock on the morning of Oct. 31. 1910, MT. Field took four of the hounds from the kennel and, It it is alleged, put collars on the necks of the dogs and the metal tags which the law requires. The dogs were led by MT. Field two or three miles from his place of residence and then they were started in a fox hunt. The dogs start ed fox and, after they had been out of sight and sound for some time, MT. Field started for his home, arriving there about o'clock in the afternoon. The next MT. Field saw of any of the hounds was at o'clock that afternoon. when two of them returned to his home. On that same day, between 12 and 1 o'clock, MT. Trips sheep were feeding on land owned by Henry Pin ney, adjoining land owned by MT. Tripp. When MT. Pinneys son got home to dinner that day he saw the sheep on his fathers land. He called the TriDp house by telephone and ask ed that the sheep be removed from the land. and immediately afterwards the four dogs that MT. Field had released earlier in the day approached the Pinney lot where the sheep were graz ing.
 Ran in Same Direction.
 The dogs were running and baying with their noses to the ground, and upon leaping the fence to the pasture where the sheep were, the sheep start ed and ran across the lot diagonally, in western direction, and crowded close to the south side of a tobacco shed that MT. Pinney had in the lot. The dogs ran in the same direction as
