Mexico City, June S.-The earth
quake yesterday brought death to at
least $50 persons according to most
authentic counts tonight The area
of the earth shocks destruction Is a
rectangle with its northern border less
than fifty miles from the capital. and
southern line cutting across the
lower part of Guerrero. The death
toll grows with tabulation.
The number of casualties, as COM
piled by the police in Mexico City is
sixty-three. Fifty-nine corpses nave
been taken out Of the ruins OF Ocot-
Ian, Jalisco, 1t will never be known
how many perished in villages in re-
mote parts of the quake zone.
Catastrophes in these parts are
taken as q matter of course. For in
stance. Tenala, in Jalisco state, was
completely wiped cut, to all outward
appearances but the toll Of deaths
here cannot be accurately obtained,
Not many persons were killed in
Colima. but a considerable amount Of
damage was done. The cathedral is so
badly damaged that a very slight
shock might cause It's collapse and
the tower OF another church was top
pied on to the roof.
The volcano Colima has displayed
considerable more activity in the last
forty-eight hours, but the chief me-
teorological observatory at the capi-
tai is authority for the statement that
this had nothing TO do with the earth
quake.

San Francisco, June SC. Fred
erick Kohl prominent Presby-
terian and capitalist. was shot and
probably fatally wounded today by
Adele Verge. a French maid, until
recently in his wife's employ. The
shooting occurred in the corridor of
the Grant building, in which the
superior courts are housed. and of
which Mr.. Kohl had gone as a Wit
ness in suit recently brought by Miss
Verge against him and Frank A. Mil.
Ter, hotel manager of Riverside, for
malicious persecution.
The suit which led to today's
tragedy, was an outgrowth of an in
Cident at the hotel in Riverside where
Miss Verge quarreled with chauf-
feur and was discharged from Mrs.
Kohrs service as a result. Miss Verge
alleged in her complaint that Kohl
and Mr.. Miller had prevented her
from obtaining employment. The
case against Kohl was nonsuited
! yesterday and today he went to the
superior court as a witness in the
case against Mr.. Miller.
Miss Verge was also present After
the court proceedings she descended
to the main entrance and when
Kohl emerged from the elevator drew
a heavy double barreled Derringer of
foreign make which she had held con-
cealcd in the folds of her skirt, and
fired one shot. The bullet entered
Just below the heart and the surgeons
at the Central Emergency hospital
where the wounded man was taken,
said that his condition was critical.
A hy-stander seized Miss Verge and
turned her over TO the police. She
was in a highly hysterical condition
and unable to make a coherent state
ment.
Mr.. Kohl is one of the richest men
in San Francisco, and he and his wife
are socially very prominent. He is a
member of the New York Yacht club,
the Metropolitan club of Washington,
ID. c., the Richmond County Town
and Country club of Philadelphia, and
other prominent clubs on the Pacific
coast. He is son of Mrs. William
C, Kohl. herself very wealthy wo-
man ana his wife was Miss Elizabeth
Cooley, OF Washington, d. C.
The elder Mrs. Kohl is now in At
lantic City, where she went from New
York after attep ling the Gould-Gra
ham wedding.
ON the operating table, Mr.. Kohl
retained consciousness and said he
freely forgave the woman for her act.
SHE is crazy, poor thing" he said,
"and feared she might do something
desperate
During the hearing of the woman's s
complaint against Mr.. Kohl and Mil
Ter. Judge Gesford who heard the
case. expressed himself az satisfied
that Miss Verge was suffering from
q form of mania which made her be-
lieve that everyone she met was talk
ing about her and dismissed the suit
so far as Mr.. Kohl was concerned. one
of the charges against Miller, that of
illegal arrest, was ordered tried and
the jury reported a disagreement on
this case just before the shooting.
Miller said on the stand that he had
been led TO seek the arrest of Miss
Verge through protests of other guests
at the hotel, as she had given indlca-
tons of an unsound mind.

N. P. CLOSE TO STANTON.
North Of Mandan Is Pushed,
Despite Snow and Cold.

Mandan. - Fighting against snow,
cold winds and generally unfavorable
weather conditions, construction crews
working on the north extension of the
Northern Pacific out of Mandan are
making steady progress toward their
goal-Stanton in Mercer county.
The tie laying gang is at Deapolis,
which is six miles from Stanton. The
probabilities are that the work will
be abandoned at Deapolis for this sea-
son; trains will be operated to that
point as early as possible. Once be-
fore this eason it was necessary for
the railroad to give up construction
work, but it was resumed when more
favorable conditions prevailed.
The construction presents several
engineering difficulties, one of the
most interesting Of which is on the
famous Zimmerman ranch, thirteen
miles north Of Mandan. Three large
wing dams are being constructed
there. being used for the purpose of
preventing the waters of the Missouri
river washing away the banks.
There is every indication that the
line will have a heavy traffic when it
is opened. The rails have been laid to
Fort Clark, the crews going out of
that place.

NEW STATE LAW EMPHASIZED.
N. D. City Elections and Presidential
Primaries Slated for Same Day.

Fargo.-Deputy Secretary of State
John Andrews called attention to
the new March primary law, where
in there is a clause which provides
that city elections every presidential
year shall be held on the same day as
the presidential primaries of the third
Tuesday in March.
The clause in the primary law
reads: In every fourth year when a
presidential election is held the time
of all city elections shall take place
on the third Tuesday in March so as
to conform to the provisions of this
act (the primary law and in such an
event, the city officers elected to Office
shall have until the second Tuesday
in April in which to qualify for such
offices. This change as stated by the
advocates of the primary law on the
floor of the house at the last session
of the state legislature, was adopted
to save the cities the expense of a
double election.

Deposits by the North Dakota banks
In this bank Aug. 10 were $1,205, 900,
while the same banks were owing the
Minneapolis correspondent $1,288, 900.
On Nov. 10 the deposits had grown to
$3.575, O00, while during the same per-
iod the loans had decreased to $685.
600. In the First National and Secur-
ity banks figures were not available,
but officers said that in a general way
the situation was the same and a
comparison of deposits and loans
would show much the same percentage
results.
Good crops over practically the en-.
tire state and high prices realized for
what was raised, bankers say, have
been responsible for the marked
change in the situation and bankers
in Chicago and elsewhere, who have
had access to figures, are quoted as
saying that the showing is one of
the most impressive they have ever
seen.
