Situation at the Death of
Rudolph Is Repeated
at This Time
AGED EMPEROR MUST
ASSUME BIG BURDEN
Can Either Do That or Give
1t to One Who Is
inexperienced

Vienna, June 29.-The tragedy at
Sarajevo yesterday is bound to have
a momentous political effect on the
dual monarchy. The situation produc-
ed by the equally tragic death of Arch
duke Rudolph repeats itself today.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand when
he became heir presumptive was as
comparatively unknown as is Archduke
Karl today but with this important diff.
ference that Emperor Francis Joseph
then had prospects of many years to
reign. Now the empire must in COM
paratively short time be governed by
an inexperienced prince instead of q
ruler with twenty years experience.
The death of Francis Ferdinand will
throw all burdens of government Upon
the aged emperor and at the moment
it Is next to impossible to predict
what political results will follow yes
terday's tragic events. The late arch
duke had tremendously strong per-
sonality and wielead an enormous in
tluence in every department of poll
tical military and naval affairs. He
certainly was anxious to increase
Austrian influence in the Balkans and
worked energetically with that aim in
view which is held as explaining Ser
Wan antagonism toward him.
Little is known Of Archduke Karl
Fra,cis Joseph's political leanings but
it is supposed that with the disappear
anc. of such strong personality Aus
tria may soon enter upon period OF
greater quietude than she would have
experienced under Archduke Ferdi-
nand. ID - b 4. II III s,,s4s II segs4
Burden on Emperor. s.
The opinion has gained ground In
authoritative circles here that the fu-
ture of Austria-Hungary, now more
than ever depends upon the health of
the venerable Emperor Francis Joseph.
1t was pointed out in high political
circles that If the emperor is permit
ted to reign only a few years more
everything may continue as usual and
Archduke Francis Ferdinand's death
will have little lasting material effect
upon the foreign or domestic affairs
of the dual monarchy. 1t was argued
that should youthful and inexperienc-
ed ruler like the Archduke Charles
Francis Joseph, son of the late Arch
duke Otto, suddenly be called on to
take the reigns of government period
of anxiety might supervene.
The young archduke and his wife
who wass Princess Zita of Parma, are
both extremely popular among all
classes of society and everybody from

All Orer World

Vienna. June 29.-From all
parts of the dual monarchy. as
we'll as from most foreign
countries, messages poured In
today testifying to the pro-
foundly painful impression pro-
duced throughout the world by
the assassination of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, heir to the
Austro-H Hungarian throne, and
his consort, the Duchess of Ho
henberg. The newspapers pay
the warmest tribute to the late
archdulte and his wife and re-
fleet the sorrow and sympathy
evoked among all classes by
their death.
When the old emperor, ar
rived at the suburban station
from Ischl at II o'clock this
morning he was greeted with
cheers by large crowds. His
majesty appeared to be in the
best Of health.
Although today was a 'holi-
day. the newspapers appeared
and devoted their columns ex-
clusively to yesterdays tragic
event. All Of them dwelt on
the devotion to duty of the late
archduke and to the important
services he rendered to the
army and navy, while touching
reference was made to the
family relations Of the arch
duke and his consort, which
had been marked undisturbed
happiness.
General expression was given
by the press to the conviction
that the people of the dual
monarchy would rally around
the venerable emperor.

The relations of the northern zone
commander with General Carranza, in
the opinion of agents here today, un-
questionably caused the abandonment
of the campaign. The much discussed
Carranza-Villa estrangement has
reached breaking point, they assert.
ed, in that the constitutionalist com.
mander-in-chief has declined to allow.
ed Villa to import cartridges for his
men and shells for his artillery

clare is still In Monterey.

when started
Middleton pitched over a roll of about
$1,000 and told him to go back home
and learn to play.
At Sidney one day a crowd Of SOL
diers decided to clean up Middleton,
One picked a ow~with him and the
others jumped in to help. Middleton
pulled a gun and started shooting. His
antagonist was killed at the first shot.
Then Middleton mortally or seriously
wounded everyone who had taken part
in the fight. He himself got three or
four bullets in hisl side.
Middleton never served but eight
months in prison in all his life. This
was for killing the man who cut away
his thumb. Rather early in his career
Middleton was in saloon in Custer.
S. D., during the early days Of the gold
rush to the Black Hills. That country
was full of dad men,"
Without warning a man attacked
Middleton with a. huge knife. At the
first slash Midd1eton's right thumb was
cut away. In the next two or three
minutes Doc received a dozen danger
Gus cuts and slabs. Then he got his
lefthanded gun into action and killed
the desperado. -
1.-THE loss of that thumb prevented
me from making fifty notches on my
gun" mournfully said the old rustler
one day.
Middleton did not look like. a two
gun fighter He was small spare,
slightly stopped. man. DOCS eyes
were black and piercing, but he was
mild hammered and soft spoken-un-
less somebody rubbed up against him.
After the cattle rustler days Doc
spent his time in the Black Hills and
in western Nebraska and Wyoming. In
Deadwood, in Custer. in Chadron. in
Sheridan, he operated saloons and
gambling dens. Finally he started
'bootlegging. Two weeks ago he was
arrested in Douglas for that offense.
He still had his famous old "six-gun'
with the twenty seven notches. but he
no longer attempted to use it. He
knew the day of the gun In Wyoming
was gone. So he submitted to arrest
and was placed in Jail, where he re-
NAMED two weeks.
