oCnNEE MAN SHOT.
James E. Adds, 75 Years Qua,
Wounded by j.. l.. SurTatt

WalhaIlu, Oct. 29. - James e.
Adds, aged 75 years, was shot and
seriously wounded here by j. l..
Surratt, who is about 40 years old,
yesterday. There are various re-
ports as to the origin of the diff
Guilty, the parties to the trouble
having made statements that are
widely apart.
Officers were summoned shortly
after the affray, but Surratt was
not locked up until this morning
about 8 O'Clock when he was ar
rested by Sheriff Kay and Deputy
Reid between Walhalla and Seneca
as he was walking along by
road leading into the main high
way.
His house was watched all last
night, but Surratt did not appear,
When arrested, however, he stated
that he was on his way to give up;
that his first impulse was to leave
but that he later decided to give
himself over to the authorities.
What Wounded Man Says.
Adds states that he and his son
were driving to their home and had
passed Surratt yesterday, but that
later Surratt overlook them and
asked If he wished to pass. The
iNPiy, hSSOiuLilS W <AlulS WAS ina
he did not want to pass, but that
he, Surratt, had it in for young Ad
dis; whereupon the old man says
he got out of his buggy and began
to reason with Surrat, who pulled 9
pistol and fired. The shot took eff
feet in Adds stomach and the re,
suit is indefinite. Doctors, so far
have been unable to locate the
bullet.
SurPatt's Version.
On being arrested Surratt gave
his version of the affair, saying
that in the quarrel he was hem
med in between his own vehicle
and the wheels of Adds buggy and
was forced to defend himself. He
showed several places where his
clothes had been cut. There were
no witnesses except the three in.
terested ones.
There has been bad blood be-
tween the two families for some
time.

Mansard's Rascally Son.
London Globe.

London Globe.
The great hall OF the Hotel de
Vile of Aries, designed by Man
sard, is the wonder and admiration
of every one who has seen it on &C
count of the grained roof.
In regard to this neighboring
cafetier tells a somewhat grim
story. King Louis XIV happened
to be passing through the city just
at the time Mansard was superin-
tending the completion of his crea-
ton. The roof was supported by a
powerful pillar. The monarch ad-
the architect on his design. At
that moment the architect was pass
ing through great domestic tribula-
ton. He had a son under sentence
of death, so he thought it would
be a good opportunity to intercede
on behalf of the lad
Mansard threw himself at the
feet of the King and said: Your
Majesty sees in the centre that
massive column? II you will spare
the life of my son 1 will remove
the unsightly pillar and the roof
shall stand without support -
'-Mansard," replied the King, "if
you accomplish that miracle / will
pardon your son, but IL you fail 1
will hang you with him.
The architect removed the pillar
without great difficulty and with
the result desired. The cafetier is
a philosopher and he concludes his
story with the reflection that had
not Mansards son been a scamp the
han at Aries would be just like any
other hall.

Despondent Woman Tries Suicide
By Throwing Herself Among
Beasts.

Lima, Ohio, Oct. %. - Miss An
ma Harter, 38 years old, while de-
spondent leaped into a bear pit at
the City Park early this morning
in an attempt to end her life. The
enclosure contained two large black
bears.
The woman was found by Lee
Stuckey, an attache of the park.
The bears attacked him when he
went to the womans' rescue and he
was driven from the pit. Returning
with a hose he subdued the bears
with stream of water anddragged
the woman from the enclosure. She
was numbed with cold and could
not stand, but had not been injured
by the animals
When rescued the woman said she
had thought that the animals would
devour her. She said she did not
know what had prompted her to
commit suicide in this manner. Miss
Harter recently lost $500 and this
Is believed to have preyed upon her

HER "BABY" BARKED.
Women Resort to Many Ingenious
Schemes to Smuggle In Their Pet
Dogs.

London, Oct. 2S. - The days
when bold, bad smugglers ran their
6oatloads of rum and brandy and
tobacco into secret covers and caves
on the seashore are gone. The
smugglers ot to-day are women. and
their cargo Is often dogs.
The devices which they are now
adopting to evade the custom Off
GERS and the quarantine law of the
land are as ingenious as they are
amazing.
Twice within the last fortnight
women have been charged at Dover
with attempting to smuggle dogs in
by coneealing them in pockets In
their underclothing. They would
have succeeded in their Intentions,
too, but for the dogs having yelped
and betrayed their mistresses.
But popular and successful as
Is the hidden-pocket dodge, IL is
commonplace beside some of the
methods of dog smuggling which

Dover.

Whereas religious persecution has been

by calling an International conference,

SNAG IN BIDDING FOR GOLFERS
Two of New Ones Must Be Built
Under Eight.Hou Law.

Considerable interest attaches 10 the
proposals for the construction OF four
naval GOLFERS, two OF which were author
lied in 1910 and two at the recent seq
sion Of Congress. The GOLFERS are TO be
of identical design as far as the depart
ment plans and specifications provide. but
bidders have the opportunity of submit
ting their own designs
Under the law, two of the Golfers must
be built in accordance with the eight
hour restriction. This may compiicate
the situation and lead TO a preference on
the part OF bidders for the construction OF
the two vessels that may be built re-
CARELESS of the eight-hour limitation. IL
is contended that the Golfers that are
built in accordance with the eight-hour
law cannot be constructed on the depart
mental design within the limit Of cost OF
81 600 600 each. The holders may over
come that difficulty by submitting their
own designs and so bringing the work
within the amount available.
The naval authorities entertain the hope
that there will be some way of obtaining
all of these Golfers.
