HE IS HARD TO SUIT.
LaFonette Will Not Vote for Any
Presidential Candidate.

La Crosse, Wis, Oct. 23.-United
States Senator LaFo1lette in a speech
here tonight declared that he would
vote for neither Roosevelt, Taft nor
Wilson. He compared the suppression
of competition through the growth of
trusts to huge cancer, the treatment
of which requires great skill.
''It is no job for a Bull Moose" said
Senator LaFollette, land judging by
what has happened in the last four
years, it does not seem to be a job for
an amiable, easy going man. A fellow
over in New Jersey has been running a
hospital with pretty good success, but
he has not treated cancer

course. I will not vote for any of these

formerly Of Cranberry, Md, commit
ted suicide last Saturday night at
Glenville, Pa, by sending a bullet
from rife into his brain.
The young man had been suffering
from melancholia since the death Of
his employer, E. D. Cooper, of Glen
vile, who was recently kicked in the
head by a horse

became melancholy.

to 90 to the house, and being missed
for more than an hour, Mrs. Cooper
made search for him. Upon going
to his sleeping apartment on the sec
ond floor of the home, she found the
body of the young man lying on the
floor with a rifle beside him. Mrs.
Cooper was frightened and called for
aid. Fred Baublitz and Cornelius
Smith, neighbors, hurriedly came to
her assistance.
A large hole in the middle OF his
forehead showed where the bullet
had entered. He lay upon his back
with his head in pool OF blood 1t
was evident to those who found the
body that Gggard had placed the
rifle, which was broken in several
parts, to his forehead, and holding
the parts together with one hand had
pulled the trigger with the other.
Giggard had always been sober and
industrious, and displayed extraordi-
nary loyalty toward his employer
He had been showing signs OF men
tai disorder recently and became very
careless about his duties. His par

a. CHASE FOR a. HORSE.
Young Man Drives Away With Wilson
Livery Horse and Trades Him of
at TaneytOWn.


1T required a considerable amount
of hustling on the part of William I.
Wilson, senior proprietor of the Will
son Livery, this city, and States At
torney E. o. Weant before they could
locate a horse which was stolen from
the livery stable on last Friday af-
ternoOn.
The facts in the case are these: a
young man calling himself Joe Dona-
hoe, of Wilmington, Del, appeared at
the Wilson Livery on Friday and hired
horse and runabout for the after
noon. He drove away and did not
return or send any message. On
Saturday morning Mr.. Wilson, be-
coming uneasy about his team, tele-
phoned about the county trying to
locate it, but not succeeding in this,
he took up the matter with States
Attorney E. 0. Weant. The first clue
they could get hold OF was that the
father of Halbert Pool, horse dealer
in Taneytown, had been seen driving
horse answering the description OF
the missing animal through Union
Bridge.
The States Attorney called up Hal
bert Poole, who first denied any
knowledge of the missing horse and
runabout, but afterward admitted that
man had appeared on Friday even
ing in Taneytown and traded horses.
States Attorney Weant and Livery
man Wilson went to Taneytown to
question Poole further, but he misled
them and sent them on a wild goose
chase for the team to Littlestown.
From there they went to Fairfield,
Liberty, townsville, Union Bridge and
number of other places, returning
finally to Taneytown to follow up
their first clue which led them to the
stable Of Marsh Poole near Union
vile, Frederick county, where they
found the missing team
Donahoe has been locatedat Gettys-
burg, Pa where he was held up and
put in jail on the charge Of carrying
