DISCOVER OUTLAWS
PURSUE FUGlTlVES IN AUTOS,
MOTOR BOATS, AND ON
FOOT.
SECOND DEATH HAS RESULTED
Guard, Wounded in Attack on Pay
Wagon, Dies-Bloodhounds Are
Still Out on Trail OF the
Desperadoes.

La Sale, ILL.,, June 2.-Twenty-five

Mischke and the police of La Sale,
Peru and Portland, travelled IS miles
in automobiles, motor boats, and on
foot in an effort to run down the four
bandits who attacked the pay crew
of the Illinois Zinc company, south
of here.
BIoodhounds Get Scent.
Bloodhounds arrived from Spring
field. The hunt was pursued through
the surrounding country all day. The
dogs caught scent from the clothing
found in the fields at the scene OF
the holdup and pursued course di-
rectly north to the bank of flooded
bottom lands. The trail, which led
down steep hills and broken brush
and loose earth, showed where the
fleeing bandits had slid over a 15-foot
ledge.
The dogs came to halt at the edge
of the water where the four men had
chased William Morris, fisherman,
from a boat Thursday afternoon.
boats to the Illinois and Michigan
canal 1t led the posse into Utica, five
miles east Reports from the Kind
er farm, three miles northeast of La
Sale, were to the effect that men tai
lying with the descriptions of two OF
the bandits had passed through there
on foot.
The robbers shed their clothing as
they fed to a pasture and a pair OF
hunting trousers we're found in add,
ton to two coats, two derby hats, a
shotgun and a revolver and pair OF
pliers found earlier.
Second Death Results.
The second death as the result OF
the bandits attack came when Elmer
West of Peru died at st. Mary's hospi-
tai in La Sale. West was in the rig
which carried the money and the first
yolley of shot fired by the robbers
struck him in the head, face and chest
West was we'll known in northern
Illinois as a semi-professional ball
player and the games of the Peru
Stars, with whom he played, are can
celled for a week. Hundreds OF peo-
pie lined the bluff at the edge of the
city to watch the posse at work along
the river and canal.
Bloodhounds picked up the trail OF
the Illinois Zinc company bandits,
along the Vermillion river, last night
and followed the scent for three miles,
finally losing it on a switch track OF
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad.
The trail was found near Cavein
Rock. 1t led through a house in
Jonesville, to the mouth of the La
Sale county carbon coal shaft, then
out through Deer Park road and along
the tracks.

The success of the anti-typhoid in
oculation in the United States army
has been such that the authorities have
decided to extend its protection to the
families of soldiers. Colonel Surgeon
l. Mervin Maus, chief medical officer
for the department of the east, who
has been stationed at Governors Is
land for a year. has obtained typhoid
anti-toxin from the army laboratory
at Washington. All women under
forty-five and all children over ten
years of age are to be made immune
to the fever Undoubtedly the conf
dence of the army in this prophylac-
tic will influence the extension of it's
employment in civil life. Among the
first to resort to it as class might
be expected to be the travelling men,
who continually take fresh risks with
strange drinking water.

Some remarkable qualities are
claimed for steelite, a new metal
which is composed of rs per cent. of
cobalt and the remainder of chro-
MUM. 1t may be cast and ground to
a fine edge, is impervious to rust and
the action of acids and highly flexible.
AS a lathe tool it will cut steel at the
rate of 200 feet a minute, speed at
which steel would ordinarily burn.
Certain notifications of this alloy will
cut glass and even quartz crystals.
Steelite is said to be particularly suit
able for watch fittings.

Parliamentary suspension.

Sir Henry Lacy drops hint from
the Gross Benches" in the Observer
as to the Suspension" of members of
the house-and the vagueness of the
penalty. Can it be true that members
get themselves named and suspended
on purpose to achieve compulsory
holiday? Eight pounds a week will
make for modest comfort at Brighton
or Eastbourne. The member of par
lament is paid whether he is in the
house or at Margate or in the Clock
Tower. Budapest has a more drastic
way. If the member is suspended he
is fined 16 shi2lings a day. That
teaches him to behave. Now that we
pay our representatives we might
make payment conditional on their
representing us in the proper place.
