Stand an Investigation.

New York, Aug. 14-Private George
Petr, the United States artilleryman,

since Miss Anita Dyer of Indianapolis

by Austria and has told his story.
Petr admits that he is an Austrian,
but denies he is a spy. He declared
he is not afraid of the investigation
undertaken by the war department on
the strength of Miss Dyers affidavit.
.I am, perhaps. guilty of an in
discretion" Petr is quoted as saying
today. "WheniI told Miss Dyer was
Prince Windisch- Graetz. which means
Prince Windy Bags 1 did so as a
joke"

How Walker Was Captured.
Among the angriest people in the
community are some of those who cap
tured Walker yesterday afternoon in a
tree in the woods near here. He had
two revolvers and when he was sur
rounded by the posse he threatened
them Several of the man hunters
fired at him and wounded him slightly.
Evidently believing that he was about
to be shot to death Walker tried sui
cide sending a bullet into his head.
He fell to the ground and was quickly
captured by the crowd. With no
thought of lynching but with the de-
termination of having him tried quick
ly for the murder of Rice, the posse
laid him across three shotguns and
carried him to a waiting automobile
hospital.
Had Drank Too Much Gin.
When brought to the hospital Walk
er confessed his crime to Chief of Po-
lice, Umstead and District Attorney
Gawthrop. Walker declared that when
he went out near the work mills he
had been drinking too much gin and
shot Rice when the latter tried to ar
rest him for firing his revolver.
Masked Man Agitated Lynehing.
News of the murder of Rice. who
was very popular among the people
here, spread rapidly. There had been
other crimes committed in this neigh
borhood that had been blamed on
negroes and talk of lynching fell upon
willing ears. The main street of
Coatesville- is usually filled with people
from the surrounding towns Sunday
nights and a crowd soon gathered at
the hospital. AS the crowd increased
the talk of lynching spread and finally
a masked man mounted the steps of
the hospital and shouted:
Men of Coatesville. viii lyou let a
drunken niger do up such a white
man as Rice%' The orderly crowd was
instantly transformed into riotous
mob. The attack on the hospital was
then made. AL the leaders in the
crowd wore masks made of handker-
chiefs tied around their faces up to
the eyes.
"Got What He Deserved" Says Widow
Mrs. Annie Rice, widow of the mur-
dered policeman, today declared that
Walker had got just what he deserved
Her only regret seemed to be that she
had not been permitted to light the
pile on which the colored man met his
death.
Would Have Set Him On Fire.
Il knew nothing of the lynching"
said Mrs. Rice, until I heard the
crowd pass my house. I heard the
noise as the crowd took him from the
hospital. was willing to set him on
fire. 1 would have done anything to
have got near him, but they wouldn't
let me. After it was all over they
told me about it and then I was salts
fled that the death of my husband
had been avenged"

An. Able Connecticut Woodchuek.

John ZodiicI a farm hand of Sails
bury, Conn.,, while hoeing in a potato
field heard the farm dog barking loud
ly at a. stone wall adjoining the field,
and the sharp whistle of woodchuck
that had secreted itself in the wall.
Zodlick began removing stones from
the wall to permit the dog getting
hold of the chuck. While he was at
work the dog began drawing the
chuck from it's hiding place AS the
chuck left the wall it seized Zodlick
by the calf of the left leg with a
grip as tenacious as that of the dog.
The dog pulled one way and Zodlick
the other way All this time the
chuclls teeth were fastened in Zod-
liciz's leg. Finally he choked the chuck
off for an instant. which then fls-
tened on the dog. Zodlick seized a club
and made pass at the chuck, missed,
stumbled over the rock and landed in
the midst of the melee As he struck
the ground the chuck seized him near
the seat of the trousers and held on
for dear life. Then the dog fastened
on to the chucks nindquarters and be-
gan to pull.
All this time Zodlick was yelling
for help. Another farmland came to
the rescue, and between the two men
and the dog the chuck was killed. Zod-
lick was saved, but he was badly bit

KEPT TWO FAMILIES APAKT

IoWan's Fifty-Year Double Role May
Cause Contest Over
Estate.

Chicago, April 20.-Two men who
met at the inquest over Michael II.
Ahern, former real estate dealer of
Creston, Iowa, each claiming to be
son of the dead man, learned that
Ahern for SO years had been the ia
Their of two large families, neither of
which knew of the existence of the
other.
At the inquest each of the two men
stepped forward and identified the
body as that of his father and gazed
in establishment at the claims of the
other. A series of questions and
conversation between the two con-
vinced each that the other was right
Ahern, who was SO years old, died
suddenly at downtown hotel He
had been visited frequently by man
SO years old and once by man of
about 40 years. From the story told
by William Ahern, the older man, who
lives here, and by Matthew Ahern of
Creston, Iowa, the fathers history
was learned
William Ahern declared his father
had left his wife with four small chill
dren in Ireland SO years ago and had
come to America The younger man.
taking up the story, said his father
had married in Galesburg, Ill.,, in 1866
and seven children had been born,
all but one of the number still living
in Illinois and Iowa. His mother, he
said, had been dead for nine years.
The. elder man then told of coming
to America with his mother, after the
four children had become of age, and
finding the father in Chicago.
William Ahern applied for letters of
administration to his fathers estate
in the interest of himself and a broth
err, John, living in Seattle. The aged
first wife of the dead man is now in
Chicago, according to her son. but
was too feeble to attend the inquest.
The dead man left property valued
at several thousand dollars and the
claims of the Chicago family may be
contested by those living in Iowa.
