MAKES MURDER CONF ESSlON
Short Note and Revolver Cartridge
Found Together in Bottle in
Chippewa River.

Eau CIaire.-An old bottle, a short
pehciled note and a 80 caIiber re
volver cartridge constitute the basis
of the second Eau Claire bottle mys-
terry in a month The bottle was
found in the Chippewa river. The
note says:
Because I murdered sheriff of
Owen my body you will never find"
Under the word sheriff was a word
which looked like Korn or Knox.
On the other side of the paper was
written:
'"To Whom It May Concern-I
committed suicide at the Chippewa
Dam on Aug. s."
The signature was blurred and
barely legibIe 1t looks like Tony
Jackson or Tony Jacobson, and after
the name was written: Stevens
Point
On Aug. 1 Constable Griffin, Owen,
Wis, was shot and fatally wounded
by trio whom he sought to arrest.
The three escaped. Later two, sup
posed to be of the trio, were seen at
Eau Claire.
About a month ago another bottle
was found in the river. A note bore
the name of Elmer K. Strong, Stew
ems Point, who said he had escaped
from the Waukesha industrial school.

MADER0 SPARES DIAZ:

Rebel Leader Is Removed From Mill
tary Jurisdiction by Writ
Granted by Court.

Mexico City, Oct. 2s.-The federal
judge Of the First district court has
granted writ removing Gen. Felix
Diaz, the defeated rebel leader, from
the Jurisdiction of the military court,
and he was thereby given a new lease
of life.
The action was taken on the plea Of
Lieutenant Colonel Munoz, a cousin of
Felix Diaz.
The full court viii decide whether
Diaz is to be returned to the jurisdic-
ton of the military court or tried be
fore a civil tribunal
Government officials insist that Diaz
is amenable TO military Jurisdiction
under the constitutional provision re-
lating to civilians who incite the
army to revolt
Vera Cruz, Mex, Oct. 27.-Two of
the captured officers of the staff or
Felix Diaz were shot by the federal
troops, after being sentenced to death
by summary cOurt-martial on Thurs
day. The execution was carried out
with absolute secrecy. Those shot

Col Diaz Ordaz, the federal officer
who joined Felix Diaz with his troops,
has not yet been captured. Hundreds
of arrests have been made.
When Diaz was captured he was
barely saved from Iynching by the in
furiated populace.
Following a night session Of the SEN
ate during which the leaders of the
opposition bitterly arraigned Presi-
dent Madero a resolution was adopted
cOndemning the court-martiaI of Gen.
Felix Diaz who was captured by fed
erals when Vera Cruz was taken by
Gen. Beltran's government army.
Senior De La Barrra, who was
named by Diaz as minister of foreign
affairs in his provisional cabinet,
made speech in which he demanded
to know why the court-martial of Diaz
had proceeded after a court order
staying the proceedings had been
granted.
Z am speaking in behalf Of justice,
not in behalf Of revolution" declared

RIOTS MAY BRING ?
j. S. INTERVENTION
Washington Anxious Over Situa-
ton in Cuba.
FORTY WOUNDED IN BATTLE
BIoodshed Feared Over Island Be-
cause of Intense Rivalry Between
Political Parties-Troops Are
In Readiness.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Great anxiety
for the stability of the Cuban repub-
lie has been aroused here, following
a battle between Liberals and Con
servatives in Havana on Thursday at
a political rally, during which forty
persons were wounded, including two
women.
The battle, il which several hun
bred shots were fired, broke out in
Central park at the close of a meet
ing Of supporters of Vice-President
Alfredo Zayas, one Of the presiden-
tial candidates. The rioters were dis
persed by cavalry and police.
The serious situation in Cuba, as
demonstrated by the riot, is exciting
the grave solicitude Of the United
States government Reports indicate
that there are good grounds for the
apprehension that has existed for
some time among officials here that
the approaching election period in
Cuba would be a most critical test OF
the stability of the island republic.
Between now and next Friday, cleo
ton day, many political meetings are
to be held throughout the island, with
every indication that there will be
stormy clashes between the two great
parties, like the one 1t Havana. Even
if the Gomez government is able to
handle these prediction riots, Off
Gals fear that the defeated party will
not abide by the results, but viii
break out in open revolution.
Now it has available a working pro
ject for the dispatch to Cuba of a sui
ficient force-probably about $4,000
men-to take charge of the island if
conditions should arise cores onding
to those prevailing when the Palma
administration collapsed, making it
necessary for the United States to
carry out its treaty obligations
The Cuban situation probably will
have the immediate attention of Presi-
dent Taft when he returns to Wash
ington.

their countries to pay for foreign
made goods.
1t is thus easy to understand how
Democratic tariff legislation will up
set prosperity The matter is one Of
vital interest to the farmer because
/ in the Democratic tariff bills passed
by the house and vetoed by the presi-
dent cereals were placed on the free
/ list. This means that all the grain
producing countries in the world, and
especially our neighbor upon the
northern border. would send in wheat
and corn and deprive the American
farmer Of his market.
In 1892. when there was prosperity
under a Republican administration a
majority of the people voted in favor
Of a change and elected Grover Cleve-
I! land president. What happened then
will happen again. There will come
anxiety and distress. with many
thousands Of factories closed. mil
lions of workingmen out of employ
ment and the farmer suffering under
low prices and decreased value of his
farm lands.
The way to avoid this result is to
vote for Taft and Sherman and the
entire Republican ticket.

II Billy makes a frantic dive into his

SIX INDICTED FOR TARRING.
Prominent Citizens of Ohio Must
Stand Trial for Attack on Girl.

Prominent Citizens of Ohio Must
Stand Trial for Attack on Girl.
Norwalk O., Oct 25.-The grand
jury, which has been investigating
the tarring of pretty eighteen-year-old
Minnie Lavalley of West CIarkfeld on
August 80 last. supposedly by wom-
en- OF the village who, it was said at
the time, were opposed to her alleged
action, returned indictments against
six prominent Clarkfeld township
men, charging them with riotous con-
spiracy. The indictments are kept
secret pending the arrest of the men.
The testimony adduced in the grand
jury room showed that residents of
the community had become aroused
by reports concerning the girls con-
duct and had ordered her to leave the
hamlet. When she did not go a gang
stoned the home Of her parents where
she and her two sisters were living.
Finally the girls enemies organized a
party to seize her and gave her a coat
of tar and feathers.

IN THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
Prosperity Reported at High Water
Mark by Merchants and
Bankers.

Prosperity is at high water mark
in the Mississippi valley. The St.
Louis Star has been interviewing
merchants and bankers and they all
tell the same story of abnormal bust
ness.
An army of 5000 statesmen radiat-
ing from St Louis have reported to
the Sales Managers Association, ac
cording to Secretary Robert E. Lee,
that already there is enough business
in sight to test the capacity of all
the manufactures.
'All business men are jubilant. The
head of a large hardware company
has reports from 500 sales agents IN
every section of the country, showing
largely increased orders. Tt is sim.
ply great the way business is advan
cling he says"
Walker Hill, president Of the Me
chanics-Amorican National bank, says
that trade is phenOmeEally large and
that he hopes nothing will happen to
destroy prosperity.
William F. Saunders, secretary Of
the Business Mems League, is also
enthusiastic over business conditions

Boom in shIpbuIIdIna.

The shtpyards of the United States
during the current fiscal year will be
busy, according to returns filed with
the bureau of navigation.
On July I, 100 steel vessels, aggre-
eating 254 900 gross tons, were under
construction or under contract TO be
built, against barely 100000 gross
tons Ut the same time a year ago. The
Influence of the approaching opening
of the Panama canal Is manifest, as
upwards Of $4,000 tons are building
for US through the canal. Since con.
gress in the Panama canal act insured
free tolls to American cOastwise and
duty free materials and equipment
for ships in the Coastwise trade a
further stimulus to shipbuilding has
been given, the effect which is ex-
pected to develop az the provisions of
the law become more generally known.
Preparations for the use Of oil in
stead of coal are found in most ship
building returns. Fifteen tank steam
ers ranging from 1900 tons to $500
tons will use oil for fuel
Tonnage building on the great lakes
shows a falling off Of about 10000
tons compared with a year ago. And

BIGAMlST LOSES TWO WIVES
Sparta Woman in Seeking Missing
Spouse in Madison Finds He
Has Another 4elpmase.

Madison.-Judge Ray Stevens of
the circuit court has granted divorce
to two wives of F. H. Hancock, a
commercial traveller, and if he has
any more in Wisconsin they can get
similar relief by applying to the same
court.
The duplicity of Hancock was re-
veaIed when Mrs. Agnes Hancock of
Sparta came here to find her miss
ing husband and found instead an
other wife of Hancock. The two
women compared photographs of
their husbands and discovered that
they we're married to the same man.
Hancock married the Madison
woman several years ago. A few
weeks ago he went through a mar
riage ceremony with the Sparta
woman and deserted her four days
later. When last heard from Han
cock was in Milwaukee.
