tuated by the appearance of two Of
ficers, but the offender against the
ordinance prohibiting the firing of
weapons within the city limits had
fled, leaving behind him mute testi-
money Of his deed in the form of a
hole in the wall through which the
bullet had passed. AS far as the
police have been able to discover no
one was seriously injured besides the
man who was slashed with the knife
on his arm.
Police Make Arrest.
A description of the man who fired
the revolver was obtained by the po-
to the description arrested. 1t was
learned, however, that he was not the
guilty party and he was released tlss
morning. The man whom the police
are searching for is said to be rather
stockily built and to be possessed OF
handsome long mustache.
| An information was filed in the SUI
perior court today by Barba charg,
| ing Seledonia with the crime of as
sault with intent to do great bodily
injury. He was arraigned early this
afternoon before Judge Mcnamara.
Seledonia was bound over to await
the action of the grand Jury under
bond OF $500, which he was unable to
give. He will be incarcerated in the
county Jail until his case Is brought
up.
The two boys who yesterday con
fessed to the police to having entered
the Buck-Reiner wholesale house and
stolen some candy and canned goods
today were arraigned in the superior
court on the charge OF larceny with
two other boys who later we're learned
to have been with them. The boys
entered pleas Of guilty and were sen
fenced to thirty days each in the
county Jail. This sentence was sus
! pended on the good behavior of the
boys after County Attorney McManus
had reprimanded them and explained
that If they were again brought into
court for any irregularity in conduct
that they would be sent to the Ana:
mosa reformatory.

that he did not believe the National
association would change its ruling in
til, case made last winter The ques-
ton came up last winter when Rock
Island made application to the Cen

c. A. refused 70 consider the applica.

feared an adverse ruling In the case
might be made. However, at the meet

Marshalltown was admitted instead Of
Rock Island, telegram was receiv
ed from Farrell, stating that Rocl
Island was open territory to thi.
league. The telegram came too late
however, as Marshaltown already hac
been promised the franchise.

After an all~night search for the
body, conducted by the friends of
the drowned man. it failed to appear.
Coroner Korschgen who went to the
scene Of the drowning this morning,
found that the search had been te

however, that the body will be found
before the daysis over. For one thing
the hot weather will have tendency
to bring it to the surface, and should
1t remain under the surface much
longer, dynamite may be used in the
attempt to dislodge it.

AS the day broke that April morning
over the heights of Montenotte the SOL
diers of the Austrian right opened their
eyes upon the blue coats Of France be-
fore them in overwhelming force. The
clash Of battle reverberating among the
mountains reached the ears of Beauileu,
miles away, where he was leading the
left wing Of his army toward Napoleons
pretended point of attack. He awakened
too late to the humiliating fact that the
he put forth every effort to unite his
forces, Join his ally and present a solid
front to the French.
MY nobility dates from Montenotte,"
Napoleon boasted in all the after years.
Like an agile boxer sparring with two
antagonists at once. he fell upon the
Sardinians the very next day. and drove
them back. His army now stood like a
wedge between the two allies and strong
er than either alone. In strict accord
ance with the schedule he drew up at
his desk in Paris, he had separated the
Austrians and the Sardinians.
Hannibal crossed the Alps" Napoleon
reminded his troops. 1--WE have turned
them"
After another thrust at the Austrians
and another at the Sardinians, he had
the allies in full retreat by roads which
carried them farther apart with every
mile they marched. The Austrians of
fell back toward their base
at Milan and the Sardinians toward
Turin, their capital. In three or four
days they had been pushed toward the
parting Of their ways and divided for all
time.
