POSS[Ik|L[S
DESPERATE
Private Soldiers Murders
Comrades and is Ki|I-
ed By Posse

CHEYENNE, Wyp., May 2O.-Pri-
vate John Lepp offthe Eleventh in
fantry, wanted for crushing the skull
of Private Burgess and mortally
shooting Private Coyle, was shot to
death at 6 o'clock gthis morning by
IA posse headed by Sheriff Hughes.
The tragedy occurred on Pole creek,
ten miles north of Cheyenne, where
Leep had taken refuge in a hay stack,
At the time of his death two soldiers,
from Fort Russell, who were hunting
for him, were osleep in the stack and
the fact that they escaped the bullets
of the posse is remarkable.
Lepp, VINO had been at large since
Wednesday morning., when his crimes
were committed, and who had been
constantly dogged by the troops and
civil officers, was last night traced
to ranch three miles from the point
where he was later killed. At s o'clock
this morning Sheriff Hughes and u
posse took up the trail in an automo-
bile and traced him to the hay stack
The officers who were keeping at u
respectful distance because of the
known desperate character of the fu-
gitive, commanded him to emerge and
at that Lepp slipped from his hiding
place on the side Of the stack and
ran around to the side opposite to
the officers. The four then surround
Cd the stack but could see nothing Of
Lepp. Several times Sheriff Hughes
commanded him to emerge and sur
render, and when he did not respond
the officers began firing into the stack,
sending probably twenty bullets into
it. These failing to bring results, the
sheriff and aides were approaching
the stack. when thef ssos snensss-s--'-
from the top of it. Keeping them
covered the officers approached and
were astonished to recognize them as
soldiers who were out hunting for
Lepp. The soldiers bitterly upbtaid-
ed the sheriff for the reckless shoot
ing until silenced by the information
that the man whom they were hunting
was concealed somewhere in the stack
in which they had spent the night.
The stack was then gingerly search
ed until Lepp's gun was located. The
weapon was jerked forth and the fugi-
tive again commended to surrender.
There was no response except spas
modic movements under the hay. The
officers then dug into the stack, know
ing that Lepp was no longer armei,
and uncovered his body. He had been
shot in the back of the head by one
Of the bullets fired by the posse and
was in the final throes OF death.

JUAREZ, May 2O.-Peace will not
be declared as being in effect in Max
leo, nor will the general armistice be
terminated till the coment Senior
Francisco Leon De La Barra becomes
tho provisional president In succession
to President Diaz.
Francisco I. Madero jr. will not Wis.
1t Mexico City until Senior De La Bar
ra is installed in power. He viii
then go to the capital to assist In
tranquilizing the country. II the rsb-
els in Lower California or other bands
hitherto fighting independently do not
lay down their arms Madero's tnsur.
recto army will be turned against
them.
No pence agreement will be GRnsd
but the interim between now and the
time Senior De La Barra becomes
president will be utilized In securing
laws covering most Of the points
which 1t was previously believed
should be contained in peace agree
ment
This is the explanation which the
most prominent of insurrecto lead
ers give of the status Of peace nego-
tiations, Madero's visit to Mexico City
and other complications which pre-
sented tangle to the representatives

FEAR CHINESE REVOLT TODAY

HONGKONG, China, May l9.-
There are alarming rumors of re-
volutionary uprising at Canton and
the surrounding districts planned for
tomorrow. Europeans in Shamien,
the foreign district Of Canton, are
prepared to leave, The restlessness is
widespread and tens of thousands of
persons are fleeing from the disturb
ed section TO this city
The revolt is said to be led by rela-
tives of high Chinese officials who
have been aducated in Japan. More
than $1,000000 is said to be available
to the rebels. The leaders of the rev.
olution in Formosa and AMMAN de-
clare that they have enough dyna-
mite to blow up the City of Canton.
Decapitations of rebels and sus-
poets occur daily in Canton. The rel
atives of those executed do not dare
remove the bodies from the streets,
and as a result there is horrible sit
uation.
Two British gunboats, one French,
one German one American and one
Italian are now off Canton. Another
German gunboat is going to the city.
The political unrest is general
throughout South China, and tomor-
row is looked forward to with appre-
hension.

metallic or jewelled buckles, but these
while often extremely expensive are
hardly so good looking for present
belt purposes as the more severe de-
signs.
The popularity of white and black
combinations has brought about par
ticularly large showing OF white leath
er belts trimmed in black patent leath-
Ell, and one finds also white moire
trimmed in the black patent leather.
Then there are wide, soft belts of fine
dull finish leather or suede in all Of
the modish colorings. Those at their
best have the big, flat, plain buckles
covered with the leather, but occa-
sionally good arrangement Of straps
is used and some attractive effects
are obtained with fine steel embroid,
cry.
The bead embroidery prevalent this
year finds a place among the belts,
sometimes forming entire buckles,
sometimes merely bordering narrow
ly the belt and buckle edges. Certain
girdles in imitation semi-precious
stones are very handsome in their
way, but must be knowingly worn
with just the right frock.
New evening corsets that fit and in
close the figure like an armor are
said to be extremely comfortable.
Made Of silk-woven jersey cloth as
pliable as glove, and as strong as sat
in, they are cut very low above the
belt Aside from the front steel and
the support for the back lacing, they
are practically boneless; only one bone
is placed at each side, over the hips.
The corset lengthens to the knees,
shaping into leg. open on the inside;
an elastic strap set halfway between
thigh and knee holds it about the leg;
the lacing bones reach to the lower
edge, curving with the body. This
corset aims to preserve the slender
silhoutte, nothing being worn over
ii except the trifle of lace and ribbon
that serves for a cache corset. In.
stead Of the usual narrow colored rib
bons used for service and in the adorn7
ment Of this garment, wide ribbons
are worn, banding it and drawing it
into the scheme of decoration of the
soft, transparent corsage.

Manager Doom of the Quakers cop
ped a real regular pitcher when he
signed Alexander the great.
If the Cubs want to dispose OF
Reulbach there are several clubs will
ing to grab the wild HEAVIER.
Maddox and O'Connor, the former
Pirate battery, are working for the
Kansas City club of the American
Association.
Mike Donlin may join the Boston
Rustlers. Mike has ben out of the
game two years, but claims that he Is
still there as a pitcher.
Major league scouts are sizing up
George Allen Davie, jr., the Williams

er of the Champions, says that the
Athletics will repeat this season and
put Detroit down with the tunnel
diggers.
Pitcher Frank Smith will now have
a chance to show his wares to Mana
ger Griffith of the Cincinnati Reds.
Frank was star with the White Sox
for several years.
Accident insurance amounting to
800, 900 has been taken out on the
Cleveland players. If this is true,
Bill Dahlen should be able to take
out 5000 on the Brooklyn Dodgers.
II rule were passed prohibiting
n city having two good ball teams at
the same time, st. Louis fans wouldn't
care and Philadelphia fans would
kick their heads off. Funny, how un-
reasonable some people are.
In the recent Boston, Cincinnati SER
les the pitchers got all that was COM
ing to them. Ten home runs were hit
during the series and the sooners had
lard work to keep count of the sin
gies, doubles and triplets.
Jesse Burkett is on the job again,
playing right field for his Worcester
team. Jesse had decided not to play
ball this season, but when the New
England League battle opened, the
!. old soldier couldn't stand the rifle.
Charley Dryden says that Ping
Fodie Of the White Sox Is as fresh as
a crate Of new cucumbers. In a re-
cent game Ping became peeved at .
decision of Umpire Bill Dincen, and
started to do a bush league jig.
Leave It to Bill to crab that kind Of
stunt. He grabbed Ping and shook
him like Lizxis shakes . dust cloth.

SAM WILL BORROW
$4,000, 900 FOR PANAMA

WASHINGTON, May l9.-Seventy
seven mail bags filled with invitations
to the public to bid for Uncle Sans
bonds left Washington today. Every
one of $4,000 national banks, state
banks and trust companies of which
the treasury has record will receive
one of the official circulars and bid
ding slips. The man who wants to
lend 800, $500, 81 1000 or more to the
government at per cent interest can
learn all the particulars by dropping
around to see his banker.
To make the new $4,000, 900 loan
as popular as possible, the treasury
will accept ordinary checks, payable
through clearing house cities, and
postal orders in payment. The small
bidders will receive first attention,
which will make it possible for the in
dividual investor to deal directly
with the government instead of with
a bond dealer.
1t probably will be six weeks be-
fore the successful bidders are announ-
ced. The price they will pay for the
new securities is conjecture, but
the estimates put it somewhere be-
tween par and 103.
By this issue of 50,000,00O Uncle
Sam will owe his people about $685.
0C0, 900, upon which various rates Of
interest are paid. The money from
the new issue will be used partly to
reimburse the treasury for money it
has advanced to the Panama canal.
