SPARROWS DYED YELLOW
AND SOLD As CANARIES

Indiana, Pa, July 6.-Persons
who bought canaries at bargain
prices from stranger here recently
are now trying to avoid the ridicule
of friends. following the discovery
that the canaries are English spar
rows dyed yellow.
The stranger, who had a smooth
line of talk and seemingly limit
less supply of birds, assured pros
pective purchasers that he had
come direct from the Canary Is
lands
Some of his songsters We're from
there, he said, and some We're Hartz
mountain warblers. The fact that
the birds were exceedingly quiet did
not seem to interfere with the bunko
man getting rid of them in large
numbers at $3.50 each. Within a
few days the color began to come off
and the fraud was disclosed.

FINALLY SUMMONED
TO LAST GREAT COURT
George Watson Succumbed To
Heart Failure Just As
Case Came Up.

Hawesville, KY, July 6.-Circuit
Eourt was convened here this morn
ing by Judge Birkhead for the last
term before late fall. The session
will not be long one. There have
been but two actions brought to the
Court since the last term adjourned
and one of them has been settled.
At the last term of the Court the
grand jury was in session but two
days, and It Is not thought by the
court officials that that period will
There are no serious prosecutions
awaiting the attention of a grand
jury, and except the law requires
such body to be empaneled at stat
ed intervals, there would be no occa-
sion for one at present.
George Watson. nearly 80 years
of age, who was under indictment in
the Hancock Circuit Court, charged
with the murder of John Van Lair,
and whose case was set for trial be-
fore Judge Birkhead to-day, was
found dead in bed Sunday morning,
death being due to heart failure.
The killing of Van Lair took
place over year ago, at which time
Watson was the town marshal of
Lewisport. Van Lair was tenant
on Watsons farm and 1t was while
the murdered man was hauling a
load of corn along the county road
that he was shot by Watson.
After Watson was indicted for
murder, he was allowed by Judge
Birkhead, to give bond upon the af-
fidavits of prominent physicians of
Hancock county who stated that on
account of the state Of health or
Watson, it would be unwise to have
him confined i'm Jail.
The case has been called twice for
trial, but both times it was contin-
ned on account of the condition OF
the defendant, who was too i'll to
undergo trial. AT the last court
Judge Birkhead sent two physicians
to the home of Watson to examine
into his condition, and both report
ed that it was such that he was un-
able to go into a trial.
Before coming to Hawesville,
Judge Birkhead had been Informed
that Watson was making every ef-
fort to prepare for trial, although
he was still sick man. 1t is thought
that Watson had been suffering WIN
tubercular trouble for some time.
There is now pending in the court
here a $4,000 damage case against
Watson, growing out of the killing
OF Van Lair, which was brought by
Mrs. Van Lair.

A RECESS IS NOW TAKEN
BY MEXICAN MtOIAT0Rs
Diplomatic Colony Leaves Mag.
ara FaIIs-WiII Prob.
ably Meet Again.

Niagara Falls, Ont, July q
With the departure tonight of Am
bassador Cana of Brazil, Minister
Naou of Argentina and the Ameri-
can delegates consisting of Justice
Lamar, Frederick w. Lehman and
II. Perceval Dodge, diplomatic sec
rotary, the Pan-American mediation
conference, convened to find solu-
ton of the Mexican problem, for
mally ended its sessions here.
Minister Suarez of Chile and the
Huerta delegates will leave to-mor-
row. When and where the next
meeting will be held depends for
the present upon Gen. Carranza, the
Constitutionalist chief, who is now
consulting his subordinate chiefs
about sending delegates to confer
ence with the Huerta delegates for
the selection of new provisional
President.
In the meantime mediation has
been declared by indefinite recess.
Formal notification of the invitation
to Carranza to send Delegates and
his reply was conveyed by the me-
diators to the American and Huerta
commissioners i'm an identical note
to-day. It sets forth that there is
no further need of sessions until the
Constitutionalist delegates are APP
pointed The note declares the in
ternatiOnal conflict settled and re-
marks:
''All that is left to be done is to
establish and organize a provisional
government in Mexico, u patriotic
work reserved exclusively to the two
Mexican delegates"
The Huerta delegates replied to
this communication in separate
notes, one depressing appreciation
of the efforts of the three
mediators in bringing about settle
ment pf the international conflict
and the other addressed indirectly
| to the Constitutionalists, declaring
in polite terms sincere desire to dis
cuss internal affairs with them
This opens the way for direct com
munication between the Constitu
| tionalists and Huerta delegates.
With few handshakes and good
byes, the exchange of cards and the
remark 'Well be together agar
SOON" the mediatOrs separated after
six weeks of incessant parley.

ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
STIRS ALL PELzER
Negro Grabbed Woman and Was
Frightened by Her Screams.
Community Aroused.

Tho thriving town Of Pclzer was
stirred and excited Monday afternoon
as Ii seldom had been when the word
spread like wildfre throughout the
place that an unknown negro brute
had attempted 10 assault a well known
white woman OF the place Five min
uteS after the word went over the
place the streets OF Pelzr were lined
with determined men. a message
was sent to Anderson apprising the
officials here of the outrage and
sheriff Joe VI. II. Ashley, accompan-
led by two of the deputy sherins, left
at once for the scene, taking with
them the county 'blocd-hounds
1t was very difficult last night to
obtain details and these were but
meagre at best 1t seems that the
lady, who is about q years OF age
and the wife of a well known me
chanic. was going through some
woods near the back of her premi-
ses in West PelZer or Frankville, at
about 4:30 o'clock, when she heard
steps behind her and turning she
confronted the negro. He at once
seized her and made an effort to pre-
vent an outcry, but in this he was
unsuccessful and when she screamed
he became frightened and ran. When
released the woman ran to her
house, almost crazed with fear, and
screaming for aid. The alarm spread
like wildGre.
When the sheriff arrived on the
scene between 200 and 300 men were
making u determined search. bur
with the vague description of her as
sailart furnished by the woman, they
saw but little hope OF finding the
right negro. She had said that he
was tall mulatto, who appeared 10
be about 20 years of age and that he
wore n pair Of yellow trousers.
Suspect Released.
Suspicion pointed to a negro nam
ed Austin, who was captured by the
posse and he was rushed before the
woman for Identification, but the
minute she saw him she was posi-
tive ID her declaration that they had
the wrong man. He was therefore
released and the search continued.
From the very time Of the happen
ing until about 10 O'clock last night.
the posse, together with the sheriff.
kept up determined search for the
'SNo, baS CT litfI tilc
OF the posse lost heart and gave up
the chase. The sheriff, together with
his deputies, receiveI information
that tie negro had headed in the
direction Of Piedmont and when last
heard OF at late hour the search
was being continued in that direc-
ton by the officials.
There has never been happening
more to excite the inhabitants of the
place and while there were no outs
spoken threats 1t is generally under
stood that the negro, If caught and
identified, would have ret with
speedy punishment at the hands OF
tile people.
At late hour last night informa-
sion from Pelzer was to the effect
that everything was quiet and that
nothing further had been heard OF
theSsherifr or the chase.
