! ARRAY AT ROANOKE

Roanoke, Va, Aug, ga shooting
ARRAY, attended by rather unusual cir
cumstances occurred at the Ntrfolk
and Western station soon after noon
today when train No. was leaving

borne colored, a railroad lahorer, who
comes from Columbus on his way to
Waverly to work for the Norfolk and
Western. and whose home Is in At
lanta. Ga Is at local hospital with
two bullet wounds In his neck and
one5in his left arm, one OF which may
prove serious
According to Osborne's statement,
he boarded the train here and entered
the colored peoples compartment As
the train began to pull out of the sta
tlon. SO Osborne says, strange colored
man came to the seat, told the occu~
pant that 1t was his and al the same
time drew a revolver and began fir
ing.
The first shot. according to Osborne.
sent a bullet piougbing under his scalp
from the left ear to the nape Of his
.reck and as he stumbled and fell from
the shock a second bullet entered the
right side of his neck and came out
about the center, at the top of the
breastbone AS he arose in an effort
TO get out Of the car, a third bullet en-
tered the muscles of the left arm be-
low the elbow.
Osborne then made his way TO the
platform and leaped from the train
as il was pulling out, He says his
assaisant did not follow him off the
train and says ne watched to see If
the gtInuan unloaded on either side.
An effort 10 flag the train failed and
X pulled ous. leaving the victim and
carrying the assailant, the latter hav-

Advices received by the Norfolk and
Western are TO the effect that the
negro who shot Osborne was taken in
charge on the train and turned over
TO the authorities at Bedford He

1t is a wonder Osborne was not kill

would have resulted.

SAM WINTERS INJURED
Right Arm Crushed Under Great
Boulder. ,

While making a trip around the
lake wherein he has a good many
pet trout and other curiosities, Sam
Winters was badly hurt yesterday
morning. The lake is located near
American Falls, and is considerably
below the elevation of the surround
ing country.
In some manner he dislodged a
great boulder of several tons weight,
and was pinned to the earth by the
rock catching his right arm. which
was badly crushed from the elbow
down. Mr.. Winters was brought to
Pocatello, where he rs under the
care of DIR. Wright, who states that
it may be possible to save the in
jured arm, though it is in pretty
bad condition. Sam is getting along
all right at this tine and will doubt
less pull through in fine shape as
he is receiving the best of stten-

THE ROAD BONDS
FAILED TO CARRY
RETURNS FROM FIVE OF THE
EIGHT PRECINCTS SHOW THAT
A MAJORITY OF VOTES WERE
AGAINST BONDS.
Light Vote in all Precincts-Rock-
land Strongest Against Bonds
and American Falls was Carried
by Only Thirteen Votes.

The result of the bond election
held in the various precincts of
Power county Tuesday was a hope
Less defeat of the question of bond
ing the county for the purpose of
building a system of good roads.
Returns from five of the eight
precincts of the county shows that
the bonds failed to get eve a ma-
iority OF the votes cast, much less
the necessary two-thirds majority
required by law, therefore there will
be no great amount of Improvement
on the country roads.
Just what action will be taken
looking to securing funds for the
state highway has not yet been
determined, but it is probable that
an attempt will be made to create
a highway district taking in the
territory through which the state
highway passes. and, Of course if
that lis done, some of the other
roads Within the district that are
badly in need of improvement, win
be taken car of.
The vote in the precincts heard
from isl given as follows:
Rockland. 46 for, 124 against.
Fairview, 81 for, 4 against.
Prosperity. 3 for, 10 against
Little Greek precinct, IA for. IA
against.
Pleasant Valley, % for, 3 against
American Falls. 173 for, 16e
against.
Landing, Arbon and Crystal are
the three precincts yet to be heard
from. but if they cast their entire
voting strength solidly in favor OF
the bonds there would not be
enough to change the final result.
The vote was light in all pre-
precincts, and here in American
Falls there was but little interest
shown by anyone.

will leave this evening or tomorrow
for New York City, where he goes
on business in connection with the
Rockland railroad proposition, which
has seemingly been at a standstlll
fof over a year..
There are many rumors afloat in
connection with this much desired
improvement, and all of them are
to the effect that there will be
something doing in the actual build
ing line in the early spring
No authoritative information was
obtainable except that there was
every promise of securing a rail-
way between American Falls and
Rockland. though nothing of a de-
finite nature can yet be made pub
lie.

VIRGINIA BROOKS
Author of Little Lostsister."

Perhaps there is no girl in the
country today who has had such a
severe battle with vice as Virginia
Brooks, and no one is more able to
graphically describe the inner
workings of "The System" Her
life reads more like fiction than
reality.
She wrote Little Lost Sister," a
serial fact story, soon to be pub
lished in book form. Then Edward
e. Rose, realizing what a great
play the story of the Little Lost
Sister would make, was engaged
to dramatize it.
There have been many persons
who doubted the sincerity of Vir-
ginia's motives and method, parti-
cularly the transgressors she sought
TO rout. but even they were forced
to admit sooner or later that If she
was trying to rout the devil as a
pastime. she was pastiming with a
| vengeance. The story of Little
Lost Sister" dealing with the 'Sys-
tenn" and pitfalls into which the
STRAY girl from the country is forced
is vfvidIy portrayed in the play ana
brings to light the transgressors
with which this young girl mas
| struggled. Little Lost Sister
will be presented at the Auditorium
saturday. Jan IL, by a strong
Metropolitan company OF actors.
