LONDON. July 27.-The Austro- Hungarian government declared war against servia by manifesto, one of history's briefest momentous docu- ments.
 Germany explained that her ally could not be expected to submit her acts to a European council as though she were one of the Balkan states
 This preceded the declaration of war by only two hours. showing the harmonious working of the partner ship between the two nations. which seood firmly together through the Bosnian crisis of 1910,

 tents of Home With SIedge Hammer. Much Excitement
He Threw His Wife From House and SpOuCe shoots. Day Is
 Landed in Jail After a Hard Fight With Officers. Not Hurt

Wild rumor coursing about Bisbee last evening, early would indicate that at least two people had been ser iously wounded in Johnson Addition as the result of a family shooting scrape. The facts adduced are that Mike Day is laying in the branch county jail at Lowell, after having at- tempted to break up everything in his house last evening including his wife.
 Day had been drinking and returned 10 his home about nine o'clock His home is perched high in Johnson Ad- dition and quite a distance north of Naco Road.
 Upon entering the house Day de- cided that he didn't like the looks of anything therein. He carried a sledge hammer with him and proceed ed to demolish the furniture. glass ware and everything. except the house itself
 His wife interceded in vain and finally Day decided that she also was in his way He grabed her and pushed her. violently, down the front steps. Mrs. Day secured small revolver and snapped it at her husband The bullet went wild.
 In the meantime Harvey Day. brother of Mike Day, appeared on the scene and took the gun away from Mrs. Day. Shortly after ward Deputy Sherin William Brake field and companion arrived on the scene and after hard fight ar- rested Day and took him to the Lowell jail
 Days hands were covered with blood. as were also his clothes and face, due probably to the breaking of glass. It is not thought that he was hurt seriously, however.

TWO-Year Old Child May Die- Father Severely Wounded, AL
 so EIeven-Year Old Girl, Four
 Year Old Child Said Fired Gun

w. s. Bradford, of Lowell, return ing last evening from a business visit toPirueville, brought the news of a shooting in which the elements of mystery are not lacking and in which one child was probably fatally wound ed. another severely wounded and the father. named Price, severely wounded with shot in the back and shoulders.
 The shooting occurred on the Price ranch about three miles this side of Pirtleyille in the Sulphur Springs val Hey. Price came staggering into Pir- tlevllle from the ranch, weak from the loss of blood and pain of his wounds. He said two of his children were lying badly wounded at his home. Dr. Yan- herman was summoned from Douglas and with Bradford went to the ranch. after sending price to the hospital At the ranch a two year old girl was found with several shot wounds thro' the head. One of these is believed to have injured the brain and fatal out come is feared An eleven year old girl was found with one arm badly torn by shot The mother of the chill dren was caring for them and seemed lin great distress.
 The mother said that her four year old son had found a shot gun in a clo- set got it down and started dragging it through the house. At the entrance to the living room the trigger of the gun caught on the sill and discharged the weapon. The two little girls and the father, she said. were in line of part of the shot and received these from both barrels of the gun.
 While the manner in which the sto- ry was told indicated that it was ruthfully given. an examination of the room raised such doubts as to the possibility of shot coming in the walls of the room in the way alleged, that report was made to police authorities and an investigation commenced.
 The child said to have accidently fired the gun, could not have had it in such position as to account for shot in the wall which appear to have been fired from the hip and are driven straight into the wood work and not at an angle. as would have been the case had the gun been discharged while being dragged across the floor as claimed, or at least such construc- tion was put on the affair when the house was examined

The next news expected is the oc- cupation of Belgrade. which may now be an accomplished fact. Reports of Iman encounters are permitted to pass the censors, but military ex- perts believe that mobilization is al- ready effected and a thoroughly plan ned campaign well under way.
 There is absolutely no enthusiasm in England for war sHd no desire for this particular war which confronts Great Britain. yet the general belief is that her obligations to her partners in the triple entente. as well as her interests as a great European power will force her to support France and Russia In any step they take.
