people of the District share in the senti-

whole country and take loyal note of
everything affecting the national well

in the election OF the President and

no good reason why they should be
charged with any expense on account
of any Of the preliminary steps to such

But as neither the national conven.

Jackson, July 20-Driven from

creating disturbance, and with the
police hot on their trail Vincent Mes
sina and George Boone, two Jackson
youths, took refuge on top of the mail
car of No 2, north bound Illinois Cen
trail limited standing at the union sta
ton early Thursday morning, and
were occupying this perilous perch
when the train plunged into washout
near Winona three hours later.
Advices received here from Winona
by Messinas father state that the boy
lost one leg and one arm in the accident
and is in a serious condition. Boone's
injuries were not SO serious, but he
is also in the hospital. AS both were
trespassers, the Illinois Central Off
cials declined to stand for medical
treatment. The father of Messina
telegraphed to the physicians at
Winona to give his son every possible
attention. The lad had been indus
triously engaged in sowing a crop Of
wild cats for several months.

Injunction issued by Chancellor Hicks

passengers, also to the Traction com

general public that the act of the

had been in Hardness company for
several days, 1t is alleged. Harkness
declared that the killing was accident
al, occurring while Mrs. Hopp was ex-
amining an automatic revolver he had
recently purchased.
The police learned of the shooting
when Harkeness walked calmly up to
a patrolman few blocks from the no
tel and said, without emotion:
"Tve just accidentally shot my wife.
