FOR TWO MURDERS

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1.-The

ed with having murdered Frank Fox
all and Philip Lepper, white bartend-

fair grounds on the evening of Oc-
tober last. The victims met death
after having spent the day in the COM

names and hit him with a stone be-
fore he began shooting at them. He

HEALTH OF EMPEROR
FRANCIS JOSEPH

VIENNA, Dec. 1.-THE extraordi-
nary mental freshness displayed by
the Emperor Francis Joseph dur
ing the recent critical period in inter
national politics has amazed even
those most familiar with his marvel
Gus energy. The venerable emperor,
who is now in his eighty third year,
has thorough knowledge of the en-
tire course of the Balkan war and is
acquainted with the names of all the
military leaders and of all the import
ant engagements. An exact account
of the events has been laid on the
emperor's table in the study since the
first outbreak of hostilities, with a
large map of the seat of war, upon
which the emperor has indicated the
position of the various armies daily
by means of colored flags.

Western Press
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11.-After
being knocked down twice in the six
teenth round, Jim Flynn was in such
a helpless state that Referee Eyton
stepped between the fireman and fur
ther punishment and decided in favor
of Luther Mccarthy last night
This leaves the white hope in pos
session of the field. Flynn, who has
been the stumbling block to would-be
champions for years, thus is wiped
from the heavyweight situation. Now
Al Palzer and Luther McCarty must
decide who is best entitled to head the
topnotch class in pugilism.
When coming out of clinch in the
ninth round, Flynn left his jaw un-
covered and McCarty nailed him on
the chin with right. Flynn went to
the floor, but arose after few Sec
onds. The effects of the blow nearly
ended the contest for afterwards the
Pueblo man wobbled but was game,
getting many knock down until the
end when too dazed and broken to
stand.

American minister to Great Britain

Mr.. Taft is considering this of

the belief that he will accept the Yale
