This illness has no connection VIII
the injury Mrs Roosevelt received
two months ago, when she was thrown

this village. 1t will be remembered
that Col. Roosevelt, who was riding
with her at that time, sprans from his
horse and rescued her. 1t was said
that she was injured by the horse S

DIR. G.. W. Faller of oyster Bay is

Father on This Side.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Following
Orozco, ST., had been captured by
American troops and will be held as
hostage for the safety of Americans on
the other side of the border, the war
department today received word that
General Orozco, Jr., probably will be
taken by American troops within q
short time, as he is reported to be about
to cross the border into Arizona.
Orozco, defeated and all but starved
into submission, is reported to be al
most desperate and has determined to
surrender to the United States forces
rather than trust himself to the sum-
mary justice of the Mexican federal
troops
Large numbers of the rebels, un-
armed, are drifting across the line and
Orozco himself is reported to be pre-
pairing to cross some time today
In the event of the rebel leader taxi
ing this step he will be arrested the
moment he sets foot on American soil
and held prisoner by department of
justice officials charged with violation
OF the neutrality laws and completely

American shot by the rebels last win

Brigadier General Steever also re-
ported to the war department today
that the rebels had captured Ell Tigre.
As he made no mention of the fate of
the 50 American miners there it is be-
lieVed here that they are safe.
One American, Gilbert Mcneil was
wounded in the foot during the attack.
OJinaga, captured by the rebels on
the night of September II, had been

seventeen prisoners.

z OTHER DEATHS
ARE LINKED WITH
GIBSON s NAME
End of Count Szabo and Man
Countess Kept House for
Now Being Probed.

NEW YORK. Sept. 16.-An impor-
tant witness has been discovered by
the officials in charge of the prosecu-
ton of Burton w. Gibson, the lawyer
in jail at Goshen, n. Y, charged with
the murder of Countess Rosa Menschik
Szabo.
An investigation was started today
of two more deaths which have at
tached themselves to an overhauling of
the career of Gibson.
The first is that of Count Szabo hus.
band of the countess, who died in 1904,
and the second is that of William
Schumenn. for whom the countess was
housekeeper following the death of her
husband. Both deaths were supposedly
from pneumonia.
The new witness is Tom Garrison,
a guide, who brought the body of
Countess SZabo to the surface of
Greenwood lake and turned it over to
the coroner. Much of what he knows
has been put in affidavit form by De-
tective Moore, of Orange county, but
| there is still more that he refuses to
divulge, except upon the witness stand
or to District Attorney Rogers
Sensation Promised in Evidence.
SO carefully is he guarding this evil
dence that he will not even intimate its
nature, except to say that 1t will take
! Gibson by surprise and is sensational.
Garrison was willing to talk of what
he had seen on a previous trip which
| Gibson and the countess paid to Green
wood lake. The guide said that he and
another man were fishing near the
shore of an island when the boat con-
| tanning the accused lawyer and his
companion approached. When about
! 100 feet away Gibson arose in the
boat, not seeing the fishermen. At the
same time the woman stood up. AS
he started to step forward. Gibson
lurched and fell over the gunwale,
knocking the woman into the bottom.
Garrison said his companion called
to Gibson and rebuked him for endan-
gering the Womans life.
Gibson did not reply, but picking up
the oars rowed silently away.
Garrison did not see the woman again
until he fished her body out of the lake

There were many conflicting reports

One statement was that a gambler

police where the two fugitives and their

But there was another story to the
effect that the police had for some time
