NEW YORK, N. Y, July al.
Pierpont Morgan, Jr., one of the
wealthiest men in America and head
of the great Morgan banking interests,
was shot and seriously wounded at his
country home III Glen Cove, Long
Island, this morning, by a German.
The German gave as a reason for his
attempt on Mr.. Morgans life, the fact
that Morgan had been shipping NUM-
lions of war to the allies in Europe
The wounds received by Mr.. Nor
gan are quite serious, having received
several shots from a large calibre
pistol being fired at him. However,
only one of the shots took effect, the
others going wild. Mr.. Morgan was
at his country home for the week
end, having left his New York Office
yesterday afternoon. Just how the
German got into the grounds and
close to Mr.. Morgan is not known
Before the German fired the shots
he upbraided Morgan for having
shipped war supplies and munitions

EXPECTED Of NEW

GEORGE TOLLEY is THE NAME
OF THE GELDING OF
PROMISE.
A COMING 2:O5 PERFORMER
Was Driven in Buggy All Winter, and
Sixty Days After Being Put in

w. M. Tolley, of Tolley Stock Farm,
I has horse of which he is justly
proud and which he expects great
things of before very long. The
horse is called George Tolley after
one of Mr.. Tolley's sons who used to
drive him to school and is roam
gelding, four years old Mr. Tolley
and all the trainers at South Side
Park agree that this colt will develop
into at least a 2:05 PAGER He is sired
by Fred S. Wilkes and his dam is the
buggy horse of the Tolley family.
Not much pacing could very well be
expected from cross in which there
is not a single drop OF pacing blood,
but this horse is different, according
to Mr.. Tolley, and is phenomenon be-
cause he has the pacing speed. Mr..
Tolley says that everything is not in
blood although the exceptions to the
rule that blood will tell are few and
far between when it comes to race
horses.
This horse was born pacing. The
day that he was foaled he was obsery-
ed following his mother across the
lot and his pacing stride was perfect.
With not drop of pacing blood in
his family he was born pacing.
George Tolley drove him to school all
winter, last, and not much was
thought of him except that he did the
distance to the Military Academy in
god time. Negroes riding him after
cows told his owner that he vas
"some pacin' boss but Mr.. Tolley did
not pay much attention to them.
The way in which he came to Mr..
Tolleys attention was also remark
able His auto was in the shop and
he had to get to South Side Park, so
the colt was hitched up. On arriving
at that historic spot Mr.. Tolley ne.
cided to pace him around the track

FINER WEATHER.
ONLY Two REAL WARM DAYS
But Four Times Did the Mercury Run
Above the Ninety Mark While In
June Of Last Year II Was Twenty.
Four Times Above That Point.

June, unexpectedly speaking,
was one of the most delightful in the
memory of the people of Maury coun-
ty. There were only two oppressive
ly hot days during the month and
they were Saturday and Sunday 10Th
and goth, when the mercury reached
"a degrees. Only four times did the
indicator in the little tube mark above
ninety degrees.
There was a plenty of rain well
distributed, so that IT interfered very
little with the harvest or hay cutting.
The most of the wheat was threshcd
during the month. 1t was fine, com.
Portable, growing weather. It was
just such month as must have caus.
ed the poet to remark, what is so,
rare as day in June?"
The lowest temperature of the
month. according to the report of
Mrs. ]. w. Fleming, the official obsery.
er for the county, was AZ on the 9TH.
The mean temperature was only IA
degrees. The rainfall was three and
one-tenth inches. There were six
days upon which it rained and six
clear days, nineteen partly cloudy
days and five cloudy days. The wind
was from the south.
This June was in marked contrast
to the June of 1913 when the TEN.
perature went to 102 and was above
80 degrees on sixteen days and had
a rainfall of less than an inch. Ii

was also very light. On no less than
six days the temperature registered

ing for the return of a negro woman
under sentence at the work house for
larceny. This woman, Eliza Jones'
had been permitted, so it is said, to
come to town to visit her mother, who

training and after two weeks he
paced half mile in 1:13A. In go
days he paced a mile in 1922, a half
1:09%, nd a quarter in 80 sec. 1t
is believed that he can at the pre-
sent minute negotiate tse mile in 2;10,
which is going for a green PAGER.
1t is said by those that know that
he looks to be the best green PAGER
that has appeared in this county
within the last twenty years. They
will enter this wonder horse" at The
state fair this year for a trial. In
tend to mark him this time, but next
year he will be entered in all the
races and his owner expects him to
break records coming and going. Mr..
Tolley says that he is good headed,
gated, and that above all things that
he hates to break. He predicts very
great future for him.
Institute Girl is also a conner in the
opinion of her owners, Mr. Tolley and
DIR. Walter Woodbridge, and many other
horsemen of the county give her full
credit for the wonderful performance
that she has made. She has paced a
half mile in 1864, and is said to be a
coming 2:1O PAGER. In the language
of one of her owners she has paced
great guns" on bad tracks and when
she has been pushed out of position
by other horses.

their invasion of northeast Monte
negro and along the western border
of Serbia and the Bulgarians in the
south are cutting their way west of

hrusheVo, KicheVO and Brodi, unof-

are to the effect that the Italians

With some one hundred miles of
rough country to cross without the
aid of railroad or even good wagon
roads, it must be days, even az
forced marches before the Italians
can come in contact with their
Balkan allies, however
MOnastir was still in the hands of
the Serbs Wednesday. While no Of
fetal reports have been received as to
whether the Bulgarians are operating
against it, unofficial advices say that
they are attempting a thanking move
ment against the city with the OBJ
ject of cutting the road Of retreat Of
the Serbians into Greece, which
would force them to fall back into
Albania through the OChrida and
Cicero lake regions.
The BulgaTians are bOmbarding the
French positions at Kriyolak and
Vousan and the French along the
Cerna river are exchanging artillery
shells with them. Elsewhere the stu
alton in the south Is quiet.
In France and Belgium the artillery
duelS and mining operations that have
been going on for some time are still
in progress.
On the Russian front, except for the
breaking up with artillery fire of 4
German camp with the loss of a hun
dred Germans killed or wounded, and
the driving back Of the Germans on
the Styr river, there have been no
operations of importance on the Rus
