PENDANT after considering for more
than eleven hours the question of
placing all the costs of the action on

having been libeled, is entitled to no
damages.
After the announcement of the YER
dict attorneys for Mr.. Barnes objected
to its receipt. The objection was over
ruled, the jury was thanked by Jus
tice Andrews for it's services and 1t
then filed out into the jury room.
Colonel Roosevelt broke off shaking
hands with his counsel and several
newspaper men whom he has known
for several years and hurried to the
jury room.

SENDS POISON


Deadwood, May 24.-The story of
a lost love suit which ended in the
attempt of a spurned lover to poison
the brother of his sweetheart for
fancied interference in the match by
sending him a package of poisoned
chocolates through the mails was re-
vealed in the indictment of Rudolph
Frederieks, 26 years old, a millman
in the employ of the Homestake Min
ing company, by the federal grand
jury.
Stories were told the grand jury
that Fredericks not only designed to
kill Henry Clarke, IT years old, OF
Aladdin, Wyo., brother of Mable
Clark of Whitewood, but sent letters
to neighbors of the Clarks endeavor-
ing to have them place %strychnine in
the well at the Clark home. Fred
ericks is said to have made a con-
fession.
Fredericks paid court to the Clark
girl, but she spurned his love and
married another man, 1t is said. Then
Frederieks sought TO regain jewelry
he had given her. The girls brother
declined TO give it up. Fredericks
blamed young Clark for the failure
of the love suit.
The boxes of poisoned candy, in
geniously marked with a false White
wood date stamp and p~urporting to
come from Clark's sister, began to
arrive in Aladdin several weeks ago.
Clark ate several bonbons from the
first box and became deathly i'll. He
destroyed a second box and notified
the police.
Neighbors then told Of receiving
packages of strychnine from Dead
wood with requests from Fredericks
that they be placed in the Clark well.

 ENGINEER WARREN, NOW IN PANA- MA, IS ENGAGED IN SELECTING FROM THE MACHINERY USED IN THE CON SEDUCTION OF THE CANAL MATERIALS FOR USE IN THE CONSTRUCTION WORK IN ALASKA, AND IT WILL BE SHIPPED TO THE NORTH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
 IT IS BELIEVED PROBABLE THAT THE FIRST WORK ON THE GOVERNMENT RAILROAD IN THE NORTH WILL COM MENCE AT SHEEP CREEK, AND THE ROAD RUSHED THROUGH FROM THIS POINT TO THE MATANUSKA COAL FIELDS.
 IT IS ALSO CONSIDERED QUITE PROBABLE THAT IF THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD ACQUIRE THE COPPER RIVER 6 NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY, WORK ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BRANCH LINE FROM THAT ROAD TO THE KATALIA COAL FIELDS MAY BE COMMENCED THIS SUMMER.

STROUD, Okla, March 27-Two banks in this city were robbed today by band of eleven bandits, who se- cured the sum of $5OOO. One of the bandits, who is believed to be Henry Star, the notorious outlaw, was shot and captured by a 15-year-old boy, who joined in the chase after the robbers.
 Another one of the gang, Bill Estes, was also shot and captured near the outskirts of the town.
 So quickly was the pursuit organ. ized that the bandits were compelled to seek refuge in a gully, not far from the town, where they are surrounded by a large posse, and with little chance of escape.
 Jerry Turner, farmer. was in the First National bank when the robbers entered, and was shot and fatally wounded because he refused to throw up his hands when commanded to do so. T d

ATROCITIES OF
TURKISH SOLDIERS
Account by Eye Witness of the
TOrtures Endured by the
Armenians

London, Oct. 25.-A long account
by eye witness of Armenian atrocities
is telegraphed by the Reuter- CORES
pondent with the Dardanelles fleet.
The statement is from an official
source, the correspondent explaining
that it was given to the British staff
by an Armenian serving in the Turk
ish army. who was taken prisoner.
This account begins at Erzerum
the principal city of Turkish Armenia
last March. 1t covers travels about
various parts of Armenia and gives
details of various atrocities along ia
miliar lines-how the Bishop of ST.
vas was shod with shoes of red hct
iron by village blacksmith at the
order Of the Turks; how men of To-
kat were tied together in groups of
four and taken out one hundred at n
time to the marshy districts for
massacre, and how the declaration of
martial law at Zile included the con-
fiscation of all Armenian property.
The account describes how women
were tied to the tails of oxcarts and
exposed to hunger and rough weather
until they accepted conversion to Is
lam or death. how mothers were bay
onetted before the eyes of their chill
dren, how Armenian girls were dis
tributed as chattels among civil and
military officials.
The prisoner says that as soldier
he himself was compelled to assis.
in many massacres, being On one &C.
casion member of a party OF 40
soldiers which superintended the
death of 500 Armenians. His account
closes as follows:
There is reason 70 believe that
German advisers Of the Turks have
urged upon them the undesirability
of allowing an alien and presumably
unfriendly population to inhabit ports
which lie upon the Russian attack i"
