him and few seconds later paid for
the deed with his life. Hugh Rogner,
a deputy sheriff, shot and killed him.
Leaving their dead comrade, the
convicts made dash for the hills
south of town. A party of peniten-

and before the bewildered citizens had
had time to form passe, pursuers
and fugatives had disappeared among
the hills.

WILSON IN OHIO.
Develops Argument Against Third
Party.

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 14.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson, in developing his
argument that "the thought of the
leading men of the United States
Steel corporation is behind the third
party program with regard to the reg
ulation of trusts" drew attention to
what he termed "a very significant
fact" that George w. Perkins sis him
self back Of the program"
In speaking of the third party. Mr..
Wilson said in part:
II am not interested in where Mr..
Roosevelt's money comes from, but
where his ideas come from. I see
multiplying signs that his ideas come
from those who have set up monopoly
and who naturally wish to maintain 1t,
though they are willing to be pitiful
to US and considerate, and to conduct
themselves like gentlemen.

New York, Oct. 15.-Ensign Andes
HALEY Butler, u. s. NJ, was drowned
in the Hudson river while returning
with three fellow officers to his post
on the battleship Rhode Island in the
line Of the great Atlantic armada at
anchor here for presidential review.
In another accident on the river six
sailors from the battleship Maine res.
cued IL persons from drowning.
Ensign Butler and his party had
spent the night in the city and were
on the way back to the ship in a
small private launch. When 50 feet
from the battleship young Butler was
seen to step out from beneath the can.
opy and went into the water.
1t is believed he thought mistakenly
that the launch had a sort of running
board outside the canopy as naval
launches have and that he intended
to step on this to make preparations
for the landing.
The strong tide carried him down
and under the battleship.
One Of his companions dived for him
but was unable to reach him and was
rescued with difficulty. Buffers body
had not been recovered at a late hour
last night.
The rescue in which the sailors from
the battleship Maine figured as heroes,
occurred when small launch in which
Bernard Bauer and his family and
friends were visiting the ship, was
cut squarely in two by the sharp bow
of the bigger steam launch Vieden
and the occupants of the small craft
including seven men and four women,
were thrown into the river. The lit
tie launch foundered almost immedi-
ately.
Six sailors from the Maine were in
the Vieden and they were the first to
plunge over the side to the rescue of
the women. All hands were taken
aboard safely.

Harry F. Cochems, one of the Wis

Roosevelt Felt No Pain.
The colonel felt no pain at the time
the shot was fired and was not aware
that he was shot until he was on the
way to the Auditorium. His attention
was then called to hole in his over
coat. and he found that his shirt was
soaked with blood. He insisted that
he was not hurt badly. A superficial
examination of the wound was made
when he reached the Auditorium, and
three physicians agreed that he was
in no immediate grave danger.
The wound was regarded as super.
fetal and the colonel went on to the
hall and began his speech after he had
seen the assassin arrested and taken
to the police station.
Henry F. Cochems seized the would
