WATTERSON SWALLOWS PILL

Louisville Henry Watterson, whose activities both in behalf of and against Woodrow Wilson in the preconvention campaign received considerable atten tion, in the Courier-J ournal, says: "ln a contest between three tickets headed respectively by Taft Roosevelt and he devil, the Courier-Journal, being a daily newspaper and unable to take to the woods, perforce will be obliged to support his satanic majesty, The way the result of the Democratic conVen- tion has been reached puts in doubt an outlook which a week ago was straight ahead and as sure for Democrats as any future event could be. The play of the Roosevelt progressves will be to carry states enough to throw the election into the house. This is a menace and many prove a handicap. However, let all good Democrats pray for the best. The Courier-Journal ap- proves at least the platform and will support the ticket"

They have two outfits of about F men each working on the ground which has an average depth of about 15 feet and is partly frozen.
 The ground is said to run about Sl to the foot, but as the laymen are working in very economical manner, dispuns- ing with the use of expensive machin- cry, they are doing very well. Next year, says MT. Michie, much larger force will be employed, as the lay ex- pires in the fall of 1913.

BOASTS OF HUNDREDS OF GRIMES

Calgary, Alta, August 21.-Pursued for four months through the wilds of Northern Canada by members of the Northwest mounted police, Will Ropp, said by the police to be the most notorious horse rustler and cattle thief in the Western country, has been appre- hended and is in the barracks here awaiting trial. The chase covered nearly 2000 miles.
 Ropp, tired of being hunted, finally gave up and confessed to list of foffenses which was a revelation even to the officers.
 His confession tells in detail of several hundred crimes, and Ropp adds the statement that he probably com mitted as many more, details of which he has forgotten.
