The Business at Baltimore.

The Sioux City Journal, standpat
Republican, says: 1T is a satisfac-
ton to Mr.. Bryan to believe that he
transacted business in Baltimore in
such a way as to block the plan OF
Colonel Roosevelt to make off with
anything like large asset from the
Democratic party. The most the
colonel can do is to contribute to
the success of Governor Wilson, and
that the colonel is left to this occu-
patton broadens the smile of Mr.
Bryan"
But all genuine Democrats are
smiling. They appear to believe thae

transacted in good order in spite ot

CARRIE CRAWFORD KILLED.
Fun Down by an Automobile with
Arthur Mcknight Ckauffeur-ss
Held for Homicide On a $3.50 Bond

Carrie Crawford, aged about five
years, was killed yesterday morning
at about 9:3O by being run over by
an automobile, with Arthur Nc
Knight, white man, as the chauf-
feur for Mr.. Whited.
The victim was the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Crawford, whose
home is at the corner of Louisiana
and Egan streets. Mr.. Crawford is a
brick mason by trade and is a good
citizen.
A Caucasian representative tried
to interview Arthur Mcknight. but
he declined, explaining that he was
tired of talking and the Caucasian
man must wait until the case had
been heard by Judge Bell and Dis
trict Attorney Foster. However, a
little while thereafter the chauffeur
was heard to give three versions OF
the accident:
Chauffeur Mcknight was propell-
ing his car, as said, at a moderate
rate Of speed. He saw two girls on
the street. In trying to dodge one he
ran into the other, or, as said the
girl ran into the auto and was
1crushed. The girl when pulled from
under the auto was unconscious.
The car was dragged about fifteen
feet.
The chauffeur is charged with
manslaughter and was released an a
bond fixed at $3.50.
The girl died on the way to the
Schumpert Memorial.
How distressing is this accident
How deplorable We may sympa-
thiZe with the parents, but who can
feel their grief?
1t is surprising that fatal acci-
dents are so very rare of occurrence
considering the speed at which
autos are propelled through the
streets, especially where children
are many and have little conception
of the danger.

Confronted by Two Men

Miss GARNER was sitting at her
desk when she heard soft footsteps
behind her. Just as shd TUNED she
heard some one cry out: 'StOpr' To
her horror, she was confronted by
two tall men, one rather stout. Both
were rather tall. Each had a pistol
in his hand.She remembers nothing
else. From her statement it is be-
lieved that she tainted for she can
not recall if they struck her or not
The young woman shows a slight
bruise on the right side of her fore
head, but it is believed that she re-
ceived a knock in falling against
something when she tainted.
She can give no connected state
ment as to how they were dressed.
The only thing she remembers is
that they were large white men, for
she noticed their hands and the
lower portion of their faces, and
that they wore caps pulled down.
When Miss GARNER was found by
one copnected with the show she
was tied in a sack and was bound
and gagged. .>
The police have no clue, but be-
lieve that the men, frightened away
after sacking the young lady, were
seeking to obtain $1,000 which they
thought Miss GARNER had il her
possession.

Had Received "Black Hand" Letter.

It will be recalled that Miss Gar
nier was the recipient of black
hand letter demanding that $4,000 be
placed at her gate, under penalty of
death. At the time the incident was
reported exclusively in the States.
Miss GARNER received the letter last
Tuesday week ago and the demand
was made that she deposit the
money on the following Monday
this week. Miss GARNER placed this
matter in the hands of the authOri-
ties, anG she was much exercised
over the occurrence, as her picture
show is located in the midst of the
Italian and colored residences. The
young woman will never forget the
terrible sequence to the demand
made upon her for money. That the
work of the two masked men Thurs
day morning was a sequel to the
writing of the black hand letter, the
DOliee do not doubt

REAL MADAME "SANS-GENE"
Story of Adventurous Career OF Marie
Therese Ffgueur in the French
Army.

Everyone knows the washerwoman
who was so familiar with Napoleon
in Victorien Sardou's play, Madame
Sans-Gene," but the real "Sans-Gene"
who lived at that time was a dragon
in one of the great Corsican's armies
and spent twenty years in camps and
barracks, in campaigns and battles
over Europe. In the Musee de LAT
NEE in Paris a special case has just
been installed inside which stands
her equestrian statue.
Her real name was Marie Therese
Figueur and she was born in Bur-
gundy in 1774. When nineteen, at the
end of the reign Of terror, she en-
rolled in cavalry regiment command
ed by one of her uncles and soon &C
quired the nickname of "Sans-Gene."
Nine. SansGene fought in Germany
with the French and Batavian armies,
charged at Hohenlinden, took part
in the siege of Toulon, was in the Ital-
ian, Spanish and Austrian campaigns
and fought at Austerlitz and in Rus
STA. During the Hundred Days the
emperor conferred the Legion Of Hon
or upon her and she charged at Wa
terloo for the last time.
With the Restoration she left the
army to get married. S"e was then
thirty-nine. In the course of her mar
tial career Sans-Gene had five horses
shot under her and was wounded
eight times in different engagements.
She died in hospital in 1861.
