SERIOUS INJURY ESCAPED.
Colonel Not Scared BY Previous
Brushes With Fate.

Washington, D. C.-Probably the
most serious accident in which Colonel
Roosevelt figured was in 1902, when his
carriage was struck by trolley car
near Pittsfield, Mass, and secret
service man was killed. Colonel
Roosevelt was thrown heavily-to the
ground.
In October, 1905, the colonel was
journeying down the Mississippi river
on the lighthouse tender Magnolia
when the vessel was run down by the
steamer Esporta near New Orleans
and several great holes cut in her hull.
Only last summer the train on
which Mr.. Roosevelt was going to
Chicago ran into boulder that had
rolled onto the track.

Early Varieties Being Gathered BY
orchardists Of Palouse District.
Pennington Apple harvest has be-
gun at Pennington and the biggest
and best crop ever harvested is now
being picked. The early varieties are
being gathered now and the late win
ter varieties will be harvested IN ten
days or two weeks.
The varieties now being gathered
are the Rhode Island Greetings, the
Blue Pearmains, Gravensteins, Kings,
Wealthies. Pippins and Jeffries. All
of these varieties are exceptionally
good and the yield is better than ever
known in this section. While the
price of the early varieties is low,
growers and dealers are hoping for
better prices for the winter varieties.
Hundreds of tons Of the earliest APP
pies and windfalls and culls are being
hauled to the cider mill, and vinegar
factory, which is working day and
night. These apples bring but S. q
ton, or Is cents per hundred pounds
but the yield is SO great and buyers
are so particular about getting only
the best for packing that there will be
hundreds of tons of "cider stock. =
Buyers refuse to pack apples Of less
than four tiers and are rejecting
prime apples of smaller sizes that sold
for from $50 to $50 q ton last year.
The standard varieties of winter
apples here are the Rome Beauty,
Jonathan and Wagner. The Jona-
thans are highly colored and of larger
size than usual this year. B. C. Cam
eron, who has an orchard of 80 acres
adjoining town and is an extensive
packer and shipper, says that these
three varieties are the best this year
he as ever seen grown in this section.

Ell Paso, Tex.-stAll revolutionary

ating to the one end the downfall of
Madero and his government, declared
Attorney Gomez Robelo. personal rep.
resentative of the revolution of Pas
cual Orozco in the north OF Mexico,
when seen in his hiding place in FL
Paso. Released from Jail here and
exonerated from political charges pre-
ferred by the Mexican government
representatives, Robelo is avoiding
fearrest, but is keeping in touch with
developments, not only along the Dor
der, but at the national capital.
81 have evidence here" said he,,
producing letters to prove his asser-
ton, sthat the revolutions begun by
General Felix piaz and General Agui-
lar, in the state of Vera Cruz, is in
conjunction with Orozco's movement
in the north. The Federals will not
fight against the rebels. How, then,
will they fight against their brothers,
the Federals, who have revolted in
Vera Cruz? That so far no man has
been championed for president of the
republic is proof that the new move
ment will be popular. Always, be-
fore, has Mexico been cursed with
revolutions prompted by some partic-
ular man. This revolution in the
north, of the military in the south and
so on of all the. people, merely is the
outcry against national shame"
Robelo produced letters to show
that the plot for the revolt of the
troops in Vera Cruz, was made in con-
junction with a general plan, part of
which has not transpired.
He showed copy of the "plan" of
Vera Cruz, mailed from Mexico City
two weeks ago and containing predic-
lions of the Diaz uprising. Robelo
says General Orozco continues toward
the south in the state of Coahuila, and
sooD will be working in conjunction
with the Federal troops, which it is
predicted will turn in the north.
All remains quiet in Juarez, with all
communication cut with the south, no
movement has been made either from
Juarez or Casas Grandes to prevent
the destruction of the Mexican North

Rabbit Drive at Neppel.

Neppel-In the Moses Lake rabbit
drive recently an army Of men and q
goodly number of women in three di-
visions under the command Of lieuten-
ants and captains swept across the
Moses Lake district and drove the
jacks from their native haunts by
hundreds. Forming in crescent
shaped lines the forces moved forward,
uniting at the lake shore, where a
high wire corral had been erected.
At the enclosure big jacks rushed
wildly about seeking an avenue of es-
cape or threw themselves madly
against the wire netting, falling back
stunned. The excitement became i'm
tense as the chase neared the end. but
it was not until the crowd rushed into
the pen to dispatch the captives with
clubs that the real excitement began.
Mr.. Hudson, of the Universal Film
company, secured moving pictures Of
the chase and the slaughter of the
rabbits.

DOVER, ENG, Oct. 4.--The British
submarine BIZ was run down by the
Hamburg American Liner Amerika
here today. It sank at once. -FOUR
teen members of the crew were drown
ed. The second officer in command
was rescued.
The disaster in which B2 was sunk
occurred while the third patrol flotilla
Of submarines, consisting OF six YES
sells, was maneuverlng off the south
foreland of the coast of Kent. The
Liner Amerika appears to have cut
the submarine in halves.
Lieutenant |. Pulleyne, second off,
GER in command, was found floating
in the sea too exhausted to say more
when he was rescued than, "the sub
marine is cut in two went down q
mile"
The liner Amerika stood by after
the collision and threw life buoys ov.
erboard while number of torpedo
boats, after being informed Of the ac.
cident by wireless, searched the sea
for hours. None of the other membtH
of the crew, however, were found and
no signs of the wreckage was discov.
cred.
This is the sixth disaster to British
submarines, each of them involving a
loss Of from eleven to fifteen lives.
