SEES DANGER; CALLS POLICE
Jurist's Library Wrecked and In

Opens Mailed Package.

New York.-Judge Otto A. Rosalsky
of the court of general session came
within hairs breath Of being killed
here by bomb received through the
mail.
1t was only defect-said to be a
small accumulation of dirt-in the
mechanism of the Internal machine,
which the Justice had unsuspectingly
opened, that saved him from probable
death or certain injury.
The bomb later exploded while be-
Ing examined by Inspector Owen Egan
Of the bureau of combustibles, seri-
ously injuring the official about the
face and hands. The library Of the
apartment was wrecked
The Intended victim of the explosion
has been given great deal Of pub
licity lately in connection with the
Brandt case. 1t was Judge Rosalsky
who sentenced Brandt to a 3O-year
term for burglary at Mortimer L..
Schiffs home in 1907, and who recent
ly reversed his action.
The attack upon the jurist is the
first case of such violence attempted
against judge here within memory,
and it set the whole machinery Of the
police department speedily at work
upon the mystery.

THE NAME OF THE YEAR.

When John reaches his twelfth birth
day we say of him that he is IL years
old, and we keep on saying the same
thing until he reaches his thirteenth
birthday. Then we make sudden
sally forward and declare that he Is
10. At no time between the twelfth
and thirteenth birthdays have we stat
ed his age correctly, though some of
us come little nearer to it by saying
that ''he is IL. growing on 3D." Com
mon conversation requires rough-and-
ready way of indicating a persons age
with reasonable accuracy, but it has
no need of scientific eXactnesS. We

ed and the second year began. says
the Portland Oregonian. But. with
colloquial inaccuracy, the time was
spoken of as "the year one" until the
second year was finished, just as we
say John is one year old until his
second year on earth is completed.
Then We say he is two years old until
he is three. The first century OF the
Christian era comprised the time be-
tween the birth Of Christ and the year
100, the second century ran from the
year 100 to the year 200, and so on.
Each year as it passes has a name, but
the name is not the same as its mum.

One of the arguments used by op-
poEents Of cremation is that when peo-

cremation removes the possibility OF
proving the crime by the evidence of
poison in the stomach. But in a pros

THIRD FELoN IS CAPTURED

alias Shorty" Gray, two of the con-
victs who escaped last Thursday from
the state penitentiary at Lincoln, and
Roy Blunt, an innocent victim OF their
murderous attempt to gain liberty, are
dead.
Taylor was slain by a posse.
1t is believed Dowd also was
killed by the posse, but his surviving
companion says he committed suicide.
Charles Morley, the third of the trio,
saved his life by surrendering to the
officers, with whom he had fought a
running battle for two and a half
miles over country roads with horses
on the gallon.
Armed with shotguns and revolvers,
while their pursuers had repeating
rifles, the convicts were within few
miles of Omaha, where they expected
to find friends who would shield them,
when the fatal battle took place.
early in the day the telephone op-
orator at Gretna, Is miles south OF
this city, gave the alarm of the pres
ence in that vicinity of the desperate
men. Six posses soon were ready to
attempt the capture. These included
a band of Omaha detectives and pa
trolmen, Sheriff McShane of this coun-
ty and his deputies and Sheriff Hyers
and his deputies from Lincoln. Sher-
if Chase of Sarpy county, with his
deputies, are also within striking dis
lance. South Omaha sent two posses
under Chief of Police Briggs and the
Gretna company of the National Guard
was on the scene.
Chief Briggs of South Omaha and
his deputy, John C. Trouton, were lead
ers in the party which overlook and
vanquished the three convicts and
shot Blunt, the innocent victim. Briggs
left this city on an early special train
with several Omaha police officers.
All left the train at Springfield and
there learned Of the movements Of
the convicts.
Eight miles from Omaha the officers
caught up with the vehicle carrying
the convicts, near Mowinkle school.
Young Blunt was forced to lash his
horses into run, but the officers kept
up the chase.
When they were within hundred
yards of the pursued men Briggs and
Trouton opened fire with their rifles,
The convicts replied.
There was a halt when young Blunt
toppled back into the wagon, the vic
tim of bullet. Chief Briggs jumped
from his buggy and fired at the men
In the wagon. Other members of the
posse joined in the fusillade. John
Dowd was the next to fall. Taylor
fell the next instant.
Chief Briggs shouted to Morley:

head off"

dropped the weapon and Briggs or
dered him to come forward with
hands up. This Morley did, when
Briggs took a second revolver from
one Of his pockets. Briggs demanded
that Morley surrender the other men
