gives the following version Of q sensa'
tional incident which has been told In
several forms:
Recently, two elegantly dressed men,
carrying u heavy satchel, appeared at
the office Of the Italian general stan
In Rome and demanded an audience
with the chief Of the intelligence de-
pnrtment. When they were received
by this official they made sensational
disclosures and delivered all the doc
uments of the Austro-H hungarian es-
pionage bureau in Zurich.
The men were two notorious Italian
burglars, who were known and feared
from one end Of the kingdom to the
other. When the war broke out they
were called to the cOlOrs and detailed
to the same regiment. Life In the
trenches did not suit them and they
decided to desert. They escaped to
Switzerland and settled In Zurich,
where they piled their old trade with
considerable success.

Regrctting their desertiOn, the bur

an adventurous life In many countries
had entered the service of Austria as

Ready for Wild West Show.

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash,
Nov. 5.-Plans were practically com
plete today for the wild west show
which men from Montana, eastern
Oregon, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming
will stage Sunday afternoon, No
vember II.
An event styled the drunken ride on
the program will be one of the fea-
lures of the affair. Among the con-
testants will be Enoch Kinnard, late
of Buffalo Bill's wild west show; Will
ford Killham, who claims to be anna
teur riding champion of the world; I;
John F'utzchue and James Thompson,
circus exhibition roper, and J. w Nc
Neil of Billings and Miles City, Mont.
Although built to accommodate
only 5000 horses, 5000 animals are
now crowded into the remount stati-
on. Only hundred thirty three of
these horses suffered from their trip
to the camp.
Ernest Waeman, of Fullerton, Cal,
was the first man sent to the camp to
be granted exemption later on indus
trial grounds. He will drill oil wells
near his home city.
