Masked Man Gags
Mother While Her
Daughter Sleeps

Nathan Turner, hostler for the
Southern railroad, left his house at
1890 o'clock Sunday night to go to
work with the satisfaction of know
ing that he had in a little tin box
at home, $3.50 with which he was
going to make the first payment on
a small farm. When he returned at
Z o'clock Monday morning he found
that his house had been entered, his
little tin box smashed and $50 Of the
$3.50 missing. . -
The entire $3.50, which Mr.. and
Mrs Turner had laid aside for that
little farm they've been thinking
about, was taken from the. box, but
S1OO was dropped in the hall as the
burglars made their getaway.
, Mr.. and Mrs. Turner live at 314
Cooper street. Mr.. Turner's hours
Of work are from II o'clock in the
evening until o'clock in the morn
ing. Just after he left his home
Sunday night, Mrs. Turner, sleep
ing with her seven-yea daugh-
ter, Jessie Mae, was awakened by
a knock on the door of her room.
IT'S a telegram for Mr.. Turner"
said a voice on the outside.
Mrs. Turner went to the door and
opened it, and drew back when a
pistol was pointed in her face. I'll
blow your brains out if you speak"
said negro, who, accompanied by
white man, entered the "oom.
The negro took a sheet from the
bed and bound Mrs. Turner fast to
a chair and stuffed a gag in her
mouth. while the white man went
into the front room, priced open
cedar chest which contained the lit
tie tin box, and smashed the box.
The $3.50 was in envelopes. After
getting the money the white man
returned to the room where the ne
gro was guarding Mrs. Turner, and
the two left the house by the rear.
No words were spoken and the whole
job was completed in about five
minutes.

LENOX, Mass, Aug. 11.-Andrew
Carnegie, steel magnate and philan-
thropist, died at his LenoX summer
home, Shadow Brook" at 7:10 this
morning after an illness of less than
three days with bronchial pneumonia.
So sudden was his death that his
daughter, Mrs. Roswell Miller, was
unable to get to her fathers bedside
before he died. His wife and private
secretary were with him at the end.
Mr. Carnegie had spent most of
the summer at Lenox, coming here
late in May and up to few weeks
ago enjoyed himself in almost daily
fishing trips on Lake Mahkeenac,
which borders his big Shadow
Brook" estate, and in riding about
his grounds.
He was taken i'll Friday and grew
steadily worse. His advanced age
and lessened powers of resistance
fastened the end.
Mr. Carnegie came to Lenox to
make his home in May, 1917, and had
spent the last three summers here.
He intended to spend his declining
days at his country home here and
when he bought it announcement was
made that Mr.. Carnegie would spend
all of the spring and summer months
there. He came up from New York
late in May this year.
Mr.. Carnegie leaves his widow, who
was Miss Louise Whitefield. of New
York, and his daughter, Margaret,
who married last April Ensign Ros-
well Miller, Of New York.
Mrs. Miller was at her home in
Mill Bank, N. Y, when word came
of her fathers approaching death.
She hurried to Lenox, but did not
arrive until a few minutes after
her fathers death.
Although Mr.. Carnegie was taken
sick Friday, it was not until early
today that his condition took a
critical turn. On Saturday. it was
said that he was suffering from a
severe cold, but 1t was not differ
ent, apparently, from other attacks
he had endured, and no fear was
entertained that it would prove ia
tai. 1t had been announced that he
was remaining indoors under the
care of the nurses, who had been

commissioners at Paris in negotia-

erroneous in mass that it would be
impossible for me to supply them
without bringing from Paris the
whole file of papers of the commits
sion itself, and would include many
memoranda which, it was agreed on
grounds of public policy, it would be
unwise to make use of outside the
conference"
