DESPERATE BANDIT
KILLS HIMSELF
DRIVEN TO EARTH GEORGE BAL :
LEW SENDS LAST BULLET
THROUGH BRAIN.

Lajunia. Colo. Aug. 4.-Battling
desperately every inch of ground he
gave before a posse led by five dep
uty shcriffs. wounded almost to death.
George Ballew. gun man. retreated be-
hind haystack three miles south
west Of here. at II o'clock today and
fired a bullet through his brain.
Ballew, after shooting four persons,
two of whom are in a critical condi-
ton. and setting fire Friday night
to summer resort hotel mt South
Platte. fled to the hills and has been
hunted by dozen posses since then.
Steals Buggy.
Early today Balew started on foot
from Colorado Springs. where he had
spent tho night. toward Lajnnta. Sew
eral miles out he stole horse and
buggy from n farmer named George
Governor. The latter soon discovered
his loss and telephoned to Lajunta.
Thinking that Ballew was merely a
horsethief, Deputy Sheriff Jack Devine
left here to intercept him. He had
passed the village of Ormega when
he saw u man ahead of him try to flag
a passing freight train But the train
did not stop and the man dropped into
the tall grass beside the track. Farther
down the track was the horse and
buggy that Ballow had stolen.
Osvine Driven Back.
Devine hurried forward aid the next
instant Ballew opened fire. They cx-
changed many shots, the deputy Civ
ing way until he had retreated for
nearly II mile toward Lajunta.
Deyinc at last reached house
where there was telephone and
| telephoned for assistance.
| In the meantime Ballcw met Wesley
| Wilson, IA negro, in buggy and forced
him to turn the vehicle over to him.
Iashing the horse, he started toward
Lajunta.
| AS he drove away. Wilson drew "A
revolver from his pocket and emptied
1t at the fugitive, one bullet striking
him in the thigh. BalleW had not gone
| far when he met four deputies COM
ing to the assistance of Devine. He
jumped out Of the buggy and. dodg-
ing behind "a tree. opened fire. De-
vine came up and the shooting became
battle. Ballew was shot again in
the right thigh, but dragged himself
across the fields, keeping his pur-
suers at bay At length, his ammuni-
tion nearly gone, he reached the farm
house of John Higgins. where he de-
mandcd horse and buggy. Higgins
lodged into his house and secured a
rifle and fire at the fugitive. BaIlew
did not return the fire, but retreated
behind haystack.
The Last CARTRIDGE
Then one shot was heard. When
the posse closed In they found him
dead with bullet through his head
It was the last cartridge he had. Tive
revolvers lay by him. None of tht
|pursuers was injured. 1t Is thought
BalleW tried to flag the train In order
to 20 to Las Cruces. N. NJ, and com.
plete his avowed vengeance by killinf
his girl-Wife, who recently deserted
him. 1t was because of her desertioE
and because he thought a number o
persons at South Platte had turnes
her against him that Ballcw RAJ
lamilck Friday. II aa
Ballew was n stage driver. He cam
!to Colorado about two years ago.

CASE OF RAILROADS.
Now Being Presented to Arbitrators at
Manhattan Beach.

New York, July 23.-The arbitration
committee appointed by the chief JUS
tice of the United States supreme court
to settle the controversy between the
50 railroads each of Chicago and the To-
connective engineers over the demands Of
the men for increased pay, resumed SEES
sions at Manhattan Beach to-day.
With the engineers side of the case
complete, the railroads began the pro-
duction Of evidence in support of their
claim that the wages and working con-
ditions OF the engineers are all that the
present business OF the railroads will
warrant.
b. A. Worthington, president of the
Chicago & Alton railway, who is in
charge of the case for the railroads, ax.

SPORTING NOTES.

For the past few weeks, Red Dooin's
Philadelphia bunch have been playing
wonderful ball They have come from a
poor fifth place up to within few
points of the Cincinnati club, which has
held strong grip on that position for
some time. Before the week is over,
Dooin's gang will be in place No. 4. The
Slow Town boys, who have been crippled
to some extent for the past two years,
are now travelling at the pace they set
for the league at the opening of the
pennant race in 1911.
ed" Donnelly, the big Boston pitcher.
who is said to hail from Vermont, is q
hard luck pitcher. He has been twirling
remarkably good ball for the past few
weeks, but seldom wins. The Brave
might make good with some other Ma
tional team that sticks near the top OF
the race.
One of the primary rules in the book
Of how to hit is that the batter should
hit EN- where they amt. Ty Cobb is
one that crosses this rule and hits 'em
where they are. Cobb then outlegs the
infielders throw to first.
Harry Krause, the old Philadelphia
pitcher, who was recently signed by Har-
~ Davis from the Kansas City club,
after winning eight games straight, got
poor second start yesterday. At Bos-
ton he lost to to the league leaders.
He was touched for II hits.
Perhaps the poor showing of the CT
ants may have been due to the absence
of Doyle A sudden change for the good
came over the team when Doyle again
took his place at second base.
AT Carlyle Pa. there has already been
appointed a committee to make prepara-
tions fer the homecoming of James
Thorpe, the worlds greatest all-around
athlete Thorpe's work at Stockholm
won him praise from every corner of the
globe and this celebration by his home
townsmen is very fitting. The city board
of trade intends to make it an event.
Ty Cobb is making rapid strides to
eclipse all other marks made in batting
in organized baseball. Cobb is demon
strating his superiority over all other
claimants for batting honors in either
league. He now heads the league with
an average of AIS. Speaker of the Bos
ton club is next with 1906 Jackson OF
Cleveland is third. In the old league,
Zimmerman of the Cubs maintains a
comfortable lead over second place Zim
has fallen off few points, but is still
hitting for 1893. Doyle of the Giants isl
second with .377 and Meyers of the same
team is ranking third with 1866.

NEWSPAPER AID SAVES TWO SOULS.

Notes Of the Game.

Yesterday was BARRIERS day. There
was a worthy gathering Of representa-
tives of the tonsorial artists.
Mute is certainly playing a wonderful
game. He seems to eat up all the ground
between second and third bases and has
an accurate and powerful right arm. At
the bat Mute has a propensity TO hit
when runs are needed,
Sing Hung thought the game was over
in the last inning when r. Johnston hit
to right field for two bases. w. John
ston had crossed home plate, but was
ordered back to third on account Of the
ground rules. When play was resumed,
the Chinese captain could not find his
center fielder. The garden man had hit
the pike for home and Mon Yin, the
human pea, was detailed to the deserted
position.
r. Johnston is not as strong with his
throwing arm as in former years. The
big left fielder had an excellent oppor-
tunity to catch man at the plate yes
terday but was unable to make the
speedy peg

SUGAR BILL
MAY PASS
Some Tariff Surprises Are Due
in the Senate
VOTES DUE THIS WEEK
Amended Wool Bill May Yet Get Through
and the Sugar Bill to Pass
Excise Tax Likely
to Win.
VOTES DUE THIS WEEK

Washington July 23.-~Talk in Senate
circles yesterday is that there will be
some surprises when the wool bill, the
excise bill and the sugar bill are voted
on by the Senate the latter part of this
week.
The bill to extend the excise or cor
poration tax bill is likely to pass. 1t
has been generally supposed il would
be beaten, but inquiry to-day discloses
that the Democrats. plus number Of
progressive Republicans, will probably
put it through.
The situation is embarrassing for some
of the Senate Democrats who do not
really want it to pass, and who intended
to have II voted on after the sugar bill
They expected the sugar bin to be beat
en--when it could be said that, with tie
sugar bill defeated. there is no need Of
the additional revenue. The excise bill,
if it becomes law. will add s25 100000 or
thereab bouts to the revenue.
The indications are the wool bill will
be beaten, but this it not a certainty.
Negotiations have been reopened between
some of the Democrats and the progress
sive Republicans. As result either Sen
ator Cummins or Senator La Toilette
will press the progressive wool bill. And
there is still possibility of the Demo
Gratis and progressives getting together
on wool bin CARRYING moderate duties.
The high tariff leaders are not expected
to try TO get a wool bill through.
The indications favor passage of sug
ar bill 1t will not be for free sugar, but
it will probably strike out the differ
entail and the Dutch standard and reduce
the duty to about sl.6s or Sl.70. SEN
ator Smoot is one OF the high tariff Re
publicans who wants the duty slight
~ reduced.
As for the Dutch standard, which in
the days of Aldrich was upheld so stout
ly and which proved so profitable to the
sugar trust, il no longer has any friends
in the Senate.

BATTLESHIP DEADLOCK
STILL CONTINUES
Neither House Nor Senate Will Give
Way-The Former is Firm Against
Any Appropriation.

Washington, july 23.-No agreement
over the battleship programme for this
year was reached when the House and
Senate conferees on the naval appropria-
ton bill held another meeting today. All
other points of difference on the bill have
been reconciled.
The Senate refuses to recede from its
demand for two battleships, while the
House demands that none shall be pro-
vided. Another meeting of the confer
ees is to be held tomorrow. The Sen
ate conferees believe they can force the
House into an agreement for one ship.
Senator Tillman, who had insisted on u
$500 1000 improvement at Charleston Ma
Wy yard, was today forced to give way.
The Senate yielded to the House on the
disputed appropriations for Charleston,
Portsmouth and Philadelphia and all will
be dropped from the bill.

Testimony as to RooseveIt's
1904 Campaign
GIVEN BY FORMER SEN. SCOTT
George Perkins, He Says, Gave the Sum
of SIS ,ooo-He Himself Was the
Largest Contributor, With
$4,000.

Washington, July 23.-Former Sena
tor Nathan Scott of West Virginia yes.
terday told the Senate committee inves
tigating campaign funds OF 1904 and
1908 that no contributions were made
to Colonel Roosevelts campaign by cor
porations, by Henry Havemeyer, the su.
gar king, or any representative of the
International Harvester company, SO fai
as he knew.
Scott testified that the largest contri.
button of which he had knowledge made
to the national committee in this cam.
psign was his own, amounting to $4,000
or $4,000 George w. Perkins, he said
had given $4,000, bnt not to the ma
tional committee. Both contributions
were used in the West Virginia state
campaign.
In October. 1904, Mr.. Scott said,
"Mr. Perkins asked me the situation in
West Virginia, and | told him we had a
very hard fight on for governor and that
it was doubtful whether we could elect
William O. Dawson. MIR. Perkins said,
as friend of President Roosevelt, he
would be very sorry to see the state
go Democratic and made the contribu.
ton"
'Was Mr.. Perkins at that time a mem
Der of j. P. Morgan s company r. asked
Senator Jones. Mr.. Scott did not know.
Asked about any activities OF the
American Protective Tariff league in the
campaign, he said the league had fur
nished some campaign material, but it
had been paid in cash for its work and
had never contributed directly or indi-
reetly to the campaign.
George r. Sheldon, treasurer of the ma
tional committee in 1908, is to testify on
Thursday. 1t is expected the books of
the Republican committee for that cam
paign will be submitted to the COM
mittee this week.

And Thorpe Evidently Cared Less About
Kings.

New York, July 23.-An amusing in
cident of the Olympic games is being told

that shortly before the Finland was to
leave Stockholm man in uniform came
aboard and demanded an enterview with
Thorpe, whose record at the stadium
gave him the honor of being the best
all round athlete of the games.
