Rats Fight Girls.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 29.-Several
prominent society girls of Pittsburg
and vicinity, camping at Oakmont,
had a narrowing experience with a
swarm of unusually large muskrats
while out canoeing in the Allegheny
river this afternoon.
During the desperate battle with
the vicious rodents two canoes were
capsized and three of the young wo-
men were nearly drowned. Two of
them were bitten by the rats and are
now under care of physicians.
Miss Heter Maitland, of Verona,
was the leader of the party of young
women. She led them on a canoe
paddle up the Allegheny river at 3
this afternoon.
Near Hutton station the young wo-
men were making for the shore for
luncheon when about fifty muskrats
made a vicious attack upon them.
With their paddles the young women
fought desperately for a quarter Of
an hour.
Several of the big rodents got in
the canoe occupied by Misses Rosa
and Carolina Weller and Miss Matt
land. Miss Carolina Weller and Miss
Maitland were bitten on the legs and
arms.
All the canoeists became panic
stricken and two of the canoes were
capsized, throwing Martha Heck,
aged 20, Elizabeth Laverty, aged H.,
and the formers cousin, Marjorie
Phillips, aged 20, into the river. The
girls could not swim and when in the
water the rats again attacked them.
Henry Miller, of Espinwall, and
several companions rowing down
stream saw the young women battling
in the water for their lives while
their companions were crying for
help. Miller and his friends rescued
the girls with considerable difficulty.
Several canoeists have been drown
ed in a mysterious manner near the
same spot recently, and it is bellev-
ed now that they met their death
while battling with muskrats.

ter, by securing Charles for a witness
and paying Charles's expenses while
living here.

late hour, going over the voucher
matter, receiving the report of the

interesting matter from this report.

New Express Co.

July Slst the Pacific Express
Company, which has been doing
business on all Missouri Pacific
lines, goes off the scene and will
be succeeded by the wells-Fargo
Company.
The significance OF this can only
be realized when Il Is considered
the Wells Fargo & Company Ex-
press Is controlled, according to
common information, by the Har-
riman and Rockefeller interests.
The Missouri Pacific, II IL un-
derstood holds 40 per cent OF the
Pacific express stock and the
Wabash 20 per cent, making 90
per cent Of these two Gould lines.
The remaining 40 per cent OF the
stock Is owned by tho Union Pa
cific- The Gould and Hartman
lines own the Pacific Express
control resting with the Gould
railroads.
The announcement that the
Wells Fargo a Co. Express would
in July supersede the Pacific, the
Iron Mountain, the Wabash. and
the Texas a Pacific, caused the ut
most surprise In railroad circles.
Although It was surmlssd that
the Wells Fargo 4 Company Ex-
press had acquired control Of the
Pscific Express, the explanation

Henry Remains Dry

Persons on both sides OF the
liquor question are discussing
the recent local option election
In Henry County, Missouri, as
one Of the odd things which
show how people regard evil
close TO them or further away.
Henry County outside of Clin-
ton voted "dry" on local option
IN 1907. The "dry" majority at
that time was SOS. Last fall when
the question was statewide prohi-
bltion the same precincts gave n
"wet" majority of 2eS. Only one
precinct In the entire county voted
"dry" on the statewide Issue.
The saloon men concluded that
Henry County had experienced
n change OF heart, so as loon ms
the four years since the last To-
cal option vote had ended they
circulated petitions and called
another election. Then Henry
County reversed itself again
and the county outside OF Clin-
ton voted "dry" by a majority OF
1882 out OF a total OF 1871 votes.
Only one precinct In the county
voted "wetn. II cannot be said
that the vote was a light one,
fort he vote In the county Last
fall was only i,2ia.-Kansas City
