Appendicitis.

Henry NJ. Bayless, undersheriff, took
seriously. sick this morning with what
is believed to be appendicitis, and it is
feared an operation may be necessary
to save his life. Bay1ess refused to

the adage, ut never rains but it
pours." For months last winter and
spring it was thought almost any day
might be the last for Mrs. BayleSS.
Several times her friends and attend

recovery. For several months now
she has been improving steadily, and is
now able to be around. Now her hus-

OPENS FOR DEFENSE.
Lawyer Appel Begins His Argument
in tho DarrOw Case.

Los Angeles. Aug. 13.-Opening
arguments for the defense today in the
trial of Clarence S. Darrow, charged
with jury bribery in the Mcnamara
dynamite case, Attorney Horace H.
Appel declared that the U. S. prose
cutting officials in Los Angeles assist
ed the county district attorney to in
troduce Bert H. Franklin the confess
ed briber, as a spy in the camp of the
defense. Tears. epithets, objurgations
and bitter excavations punctuated the
impassioned address of Appel to the
jury and at one climax he shook his
fist in the face of Assistant District
Attorney Joseph Ford who opened for
the state yesterday and shouted liar"
and base falsifier.''
Appel asserted that the states
case against barrow rested the
word of Franklin who was not only
a detective but confessed criminal.
"And the uncorrobCrated testimony
of detectives and criminals, you know
is worthless he added. Appers attack
or Ford was occasioned by the latters
statement yesterday that not only
were criminal tactics employed in the
Mcnamara defense, but that the pres
emit case was reeking with corruption.
Appel told the jury that Franklin
was introduced to Darrow by a letter
from United States District Attorney
a. Mccormick and that thereafter, as
q spy, a trapper, he drew money from
barrow and deliberately began the at
tempt to bride jurors, not as a servant
of the McNamaraS or their chief at
torney now on trial, but in the inter-
est of the county district attorney. APP
pei said he expected to conclude his
address this afternoon and that Earl
Rogers. Darrow's chief counsel would
follow him.

CONDEMN STATION 1.
North Topeka May Get New Fire Sta
ton and Steamer.

Fire station No. I, North Topeka,
may be condemned and a practically
new building will likely be erected in
the near future. When completed a
steamer, the Ahrens engine, now at
headquarters, will be installed.
This is according to the decision at
a meeting of a city commissioners
this morning. 1t is the result of an
inspection made by committee from
the city building through the efforts
of the North Topeka Civic club. The
building was found liable to fall. 1t
has been standing since the early
sos
The plan is to make the station
modern. The tower on the southwest
corner will be removed and the build
ing extended on the north about 20
feet. Necessary extra equipment for
the steamer will be added.
This has been provided for in the
budget issued by the fire marshal
each year. for the last two years. How
ever. if the building is condemned, the
expense of the improvement can be
taken out of the emergency fund with
little delay. So all that awaits start
ing work on the remodeling is the
condemning of the building.

KILL MANY
Slaughter All the Passengers
and Guards on Train.
Total Number of Slain Is More
Than Fifty.

Mexico City, Aug. 13.-Thirty-six
soldiers and more than twenty passen-
gers were slaughtered by Zapatistas IN
a canyon, one lkilometer north of Ticu-
man. no miles southeast of, Mexico City
when a passenger train south bound
from this city, was attacked from am
bush. So far as known only a part of
the train crew escaped.
After the murderous rifle fire had
ceased the rebels Swarmed down the
hillside and set fire to the three cars
composing the train. A few of the
wounded had crawled out to the right
oT-way, thus escaping the fate of those
unable to leave the cars who were
burned. According to reports the leader
OF the rebels made absolutely no effort
to restrain his men from acts of brutal
1ty greater than any that has yet
marked the campaign in the south. The
wounded, pleading for their lives, were
struck down without pity and even
lootfng was held in allegiance until the
slaughter was complete.
Not satisfied with robbing their vic
TINS in an ordinary manner, the fingers
or men and women were chopped off
with machetes, that rings they wore
might be more quickly obtained. Orna-
en- and their bodies were otherwise
mutilated
Newspaper Men Killed.
Among the passengers were two
newspaper men, and they We're among
those killed. They were on their way
to interview Emilano Zapata, the chief
OF the rebels. One of these, H. L.
Strauss, a native of Uruguay and con-
sui agent of his country in this city,
was employed at one time on the New
York Herald. The other correspondent
was Ignacio Herraras of Ell Pals.
Most of the passengers belonged to
the farmer and lower classes. The SOL
diers who had been detailed to act as
a guard were from The Eleventh bat
talon, commanded by Lieutenant Rey-
nOZa.
BY costly experience the troops had
learned to be on the alert, but from
the time they left the national capital
not the least hostility had been en-
countered until the train ran into the
canyon. Here a rail had Deen loosen
ed and as the locomotive left the track
a Voliey of rifle shots was poured into
the train with deadly effect. 1t was
conferred on the coach in which most
of the soldiers were riding, but soon
became general, the rebels apparently
not caring whether they distinguished
passengers from federal soldiers.
Lieutenant Reynoza's orders to re-
Fly to the fire was carried out by the
entrapped soldiers, Notwithstanding
the advantage which the hillsides gave
the rebels. Pluckily every man of the
guar d fought until silenced. A few of
the passengers, selling guns from the
fallen soldiers, assisted in the defense,
but the unequal battle lasted only
short time.

Fortunate Little Wait.

A romantic history attaches to a
pretty little founding at present be-
ing cared for in the West Ham and
Eastern General hospital, London, Eng
land. A Stratford resident going home
late n recent night heard a cry, the
wall of a newly born child. He jump
ed over into a field situated in Knox
road, struck a match, and discovered
a bonny baby boy. The man con
veyed the child to the police, who in
turn took it to the West Ham hospital.
I'VE could not think of sending him
to the workhouse." the kindly ward
sister stated. "and ne is now the lit
tile duke of the ward He is daily
gaining strength to fight the world.
and we should like to find a coed
home for baby very soon. We called
him Peter to bring the little fellow
good luck. and the cabbage patch is
where he was found" This little
founding, who is quite alone in the
world, has big blue eyes and pretty
fair hair. He sleeps all day in a
coy hammock cradle in one of the
5children's wards, and fs beloved by
nurses and patients alike.
