CATTLE MEN ARE ROBBED AND
 INSULTED
Cowboys of Cananea Cattle Company Robbed By MexicanS and Were Threatened With Death Before Released.

HEREFORD Nov 27.-CspeciaD - C. E. Wiswal, Of the Cananea Cattle Ccmpany. was here for a short time today on business connected with that company Mir Wiswar is al present trying 10 restock his ranch with sad de horses to take the place of those that have been taken by the various Mexican armies during the past few years and especially during the past few weeks He has several buyers out at present in Cochise county and one in Texas He has but a few head oi horses left with which to round up hi cattle which he intends to ship in the near future
 One of the most sensational seiz- ures Of his horses was made a few days since by a small band of Mexi- cans supposed 10 belong 10 Beltran at Cananea. Foreman Tom Turner and three others were on their way from the San Pedro ranch on the San Pe- dro 10 CRnanea when they accidantly run into the soldiers, they were com pclled 10 dismount and the bandits then proceeded Co help themselves to everything that Turner and his asso- ciates had They took an the horses bedding and provisions. as well as the saddles, and then compelled Turner and his friends 10 march a distance of about ten miles with them
 Several times the bandits lined them up and informed them they were going 10 be executed at the same time heaving all kinds of abuse on them The order was not given to shoot but they were kept prisoners at the place for nearly twelve hours they were then told 10 move on that they were go- ing to take them on further and then shoot them
 Turner refused to move and said. "lf you are going to shoot me you will kill me here as ! will not go on or stand up again to be shot" and he refused 10 get up He was called all sorts of names but no move was made 10 shoot any of the party
 They were held captive and a lone some tortilla was placed down in front of the four, but guards armed watched close by and none of the four al- though suffering for the want of food and drink, dared to reach for the tempting morsel Early the next morning they were released and were compelled to walk about ten miles into the camp at San Pedro.
 Turner is well known throughout the southwest and was at ane time Sheriff of SantaCruz county and his friends who know him can imagine what his feelings were while he was
 in the hands of the bandits He was asked if be had any more bedding or horses to give up after he had crossed the line and he said "yes. but want them to come across the line to get them
 This is not the first experience Turner ha srad with Mexican ban .dits, he was down in Lower Californ- it few years ago with cattle and was compelled to get out of there on ac- count of their depredations.

When shooting flames and great

Hudson near Spuyten Duyvil Greek
yesterday afternoon, crowds, evidently
fearing a repetition of the Slocum
disaster, rushed down to the shore.
Canoes and row boats put out from
the camps on the Jersey side, while
reserves on bicycles were sent over
from the West Nth Street station.
At the same time the fire boat James
Duane, commanded by Captain Mustard,
started from the foot of Thirty-fifth
Street.
Before any of the rescuing craft
reached the burning barge panic struck
its passengers. Screaming men and
women rushed to the rail and flung
themselves into the river. Burning
brands dropped by their heads in the
water. Life boats were lowered. AS
the fighting men and women tried to
climb into one it capsized.
Those who had raced to the rescue
in motor boats were puzzled and
seemed almost hurt when asked TO get

Thieves, Careful Not to Steal,
Visit Home of Mayors Mother
Ransack House and Upset Linen Closets but Com
missioner Woods and All His Men Can't
Find Anything Missing.

Accompanied by Miss Josephine Pur-
roy, the Mayors aunt, Mrs. Mitchell ar
rived in an automobile at 4:30 p. m.
She was met at the entrance by Com
missoned Woods and Tax Commits
sioner George V. Mullan. former law
partner of the Mayors.
Everything was in order on the first
floor. Furniture appearing ghostly
white in summer coverings and the
baby grand piano had not been dis
turbed. Mounting to the second floor,
Mrs. Mitchell found disorder wherever
she glanced Drawers from bureaus
and linen chests had been emptled out
on bedroom floors, silverware was
strewn around with remnants of cakes
and cookies; bed clothes had been
turned down as though the intruders
had searched for valuables under the
pillows. The Mayors mother removed
hef hat, tossed her jacket on chair,
and took charge of the situation.
An hour later Commissioner Woods
came downstairs. He was smiling "As
far as Mrs. Mitchell can find, nothing
of value has been taken, and there has
been no damage to the property" ne
said. This job was evidently the work
of young boys, who turned things up
side down for no reason whatever.

SINKING SHELL TRAPS
SHEA, OLD OARSMAN
Negro Boy browns In Jerse"
Clay Pit While White Men
Indifferently Look On.

Two men and two women leaped
from their drifting motor boat almost
at the brink of the Passaic Falls, at
Paterson, n. j., yesterday, and were
dragged to safety by a policeman and
two other men in power boats. who
risked their own lives TO make the
rescue. The crippled craft plunged
over the falls and was dashed TO
pieces eighty feet below John Kelly,
the policeman, leaped into the water
to make his rescue. His motor boat
followed the other.
Several hundred persons lined the
banks OF the Passaic above the falls
and witnessed action that would have
been worth millions to movie COM
pany. Down the stream swept launch,
with its engine dead. Over it, working
with white, set face, bent Tony Claco,
Of 159 Twelfth Avenue, Paterson.
With him, staring in terror at the
nearing line where the river ended,
were his wife, Miss Josephine Dermico
and Vincent Julanno. In spite of
Claco's frantic efforts, while the roar
Of the falls sounded louder and louder
in his ears and the boat slipped along
faster in the quickening current, the
engine refused to work. Julianno
picked up a paddle and tried desper-
ately to turn the head of the craft
toward shore. The paddle snapped in
half after a few strokes.
Then down the river came two other
motor boats. their engines roaring
along at full speed. They gained on
the drifting craft, which was now close
to the edge of the falls. It's four oc-
cupants, gripped by panic, rose from
their places suddenly and threw them
selves into the water. BY the time
they had come to the surface Patrol
man John Kelly had Owed from his
craft He grasped Mrs Claco and
struck out for shore. 1t was hard
struggle, but he made it and drew his
fainting charge up on the bank as his
and Claco's boats dipped over the falls
and plunged eighty feet into the spray
and rocks below.
John SiccO and James Arnot, of Pat
erson, in a more powerful craft, were
able to pick up the other three and
fight their way back upstream.
While men were risking their lives in
the Passaic River a crowd of white
bathers stood indiferently about at
Claypit Creek, near Atlantic High
lands, and watched Harold Young a
nineteen-year-old negro, drown with
out making any effort to aid him. Two
other negroes, fully dressed, plunged
into the water, but were unable to
reach the boy in time.
His feet strapped to the bottom OF
his laundering racing shell, William
Shea, an old professional oarsman,
nearly drowned a short distance Off
Manhattan Beach yesterday afternoon.
Shea's craft hit a submerged rock, and
Immediately began to sink. He called
for help, and John Rogan, his friend,

drove his craft alongside and managed
to hold Sheas head above water until

TEARS HERSELF FREE
TO TAKE DEATH DIVE

to Save Her on Roof
Ton.

Wrenching free from the grasp of a
man who tried to save her, Anna Bocki,
eighteen years old. plunged from he
roof of 113 East Third Street to the
basement last night and was killed in
stantly.
Anna came from Poland a year ago,
obtaining a position in a restaurant.
The proprietor withheld her salary,
and in desperation she went last week
to a friend, Stanislaus Blatzky, and
told of her trouble.
He advised her TO be patient, but she
returned to her furnished room at 1872
East Fourth Street and slashed her
throat. She was discharged from the
hospital yesterday.
Last night she again visited Blatzvk
at his Third Street home. Again she
complained, but was advised to visit
her employer. Blatzky heard her ascend
to the roof and followed. She knelt
in prayer, and let her body sway until
/le toppled over the edge, just as
Blatzky grabbed her by the ankles.
The man hung cI desperately. shout
ing 10 the neighbors, but as the weight
of the girl dragged him over the edge
he let go. Neighbors burst through the
door just as the girl plunged down 10
instant death Blatzky was dragged out

HARRY THAW LAUDS
NEW YORK JURIES
They Help Poor Men as They Did
Me, He Says, but Are
Misunderstood.

The Tribune last night received the
following unsolicited telegram from
Harry K Thaw, in Omaha, on his way
to the Panama Pacific Exposition:
Omaha, Aug. 1l.-"Now that We are
in Omaha, the gateway to the West, |
would like to make plain that every
New York jury was on our side. Many
people during this trip have said that
had they been on the jury they would
have freed me. Evidently they did not
realize that | was acquitted and con-
fined after my acquittal by judges
alone, and that the judges acted con-
trary to the intentions of the juries.
People may be interested to know that
the juries in New York did exactly
what would have been done by jury
men out here.
Were it not for the jury system a
poor man would have little chance in
a place like New York. When my first
lawyer, Lew Delafeld, instead of stand
ing up for jury trial, schemed to
hush things up two days after my
arrest, was left in the position of a
poor man, so | know. However, while
in New York there seems to be one
law for the rich and another for the
poor, yet not even the District Attor-
ney's office under Jerome attempted to
corrupt any jury.
MANY people have gained the i'm
preston from the frauds practised
after my acquitta that New York
juries were subservient to vicious in
fuences. SO far as my experience goes,
and it goes a long way, New York
juries are all right, and | want to do
my part toward correcting any mis-
taken impression which may have been
obtained by people elsewhere"

PREACHER KILLED
BY SODIUM NITRATE
Rev. Abijah Alexander, of Pitts.
burgh, Takes Overdose at
Brothers Home Here.

The Rev. Abijah Alexander, sixty five
years old, until recently rector of the
Protestant Episcopal Church Of the
Good Shepherd. Pittsburgh, died at the
home of his brother, 43S West 10th
Street, last night from the effects of
an overdose of nitrate of sodium.
For many years he was sufferer
from bronchitis, and his physician pre-
scribed lotion composed largely of
sodium. Yesterday he took too large
quantity, and the effect on his heart,
superinduced by the heat, caused his
death.
Mr.. Alexander was born in London
and came to this country in his youth.
For the last twelve years he was rector
of the Pittsburgh church, but in June
relinquished his charge because of fail
ing health. He had intended to make
his permanent home with his brother
in this city.
