ATTEMPT TO ENTER
STURGES'S SHOP
Second Effort Made Last Night Il
Force Door of Main Street Barber
Shop, Without Success

An attempt at burglary was made
at W. L. Sturges's S barber shop on
Main street last night and was discov-
cred this morning when Mr.. Sturges
went to open his shop. A similar at
tempt was made few months ago
when someone also tried to get into
the shoe repair shop directly across the
hallway from the barber shop.
Last night jimmy was forced
through in several places between the
edge of the door and the door jamb
but attempts to pry the door open were
not successful, although the Yale lock
was so bent that it would not operate
this morning. The work apparently
was that of an amateur.

BELLOWS FALLS, June %
Between 700 and 500 persons turned
out to the Babbitt ratification rally
last evening, the keynote of.which was
the towns pride in the gubernatorial
candidacy of Frederick H. Babbitt. To
all appearances it was a spontaneous
outburst of community enthusiasm and
could not have helped being extremely
pleasing to the man in whose honor it
took place.
Previous to the meeting in the opera
house Babbitt banner was swung
across the square and there was music
by the band. In addition to number
of short speeches including one by NJ. T.
Maurice of Brattleboro a feature OF
he program was the singing of a Bah,

W. A. Graham to the tune of the Long
Long Trail.

BANTRY, County Cork, Ireland, June
25.-An apparently concerted series of
outrages against Sim Feiners here last
night resulted in one death and the burn
ing of several homes and shops. A man
was shot dead in bed by number of
masked men who later set fire to the
shop and dwellings of local merchant.
Both men in question were reputed to be
prominent in Sim Fein circles.
Three other houses were broken into
and threats of shooting made against
the occupants. One of these houses was
destroyed and the other two were dam
aged by fire.
An attempt was made to burn stores
where the employees are all Sim Feiners.
The residence of the recently elected
chairman of the guardians of the Sim
Fein also was destroyed by fire.

REMAINS OF M SHELTER
Intensely Interesting Discovery Said
to Have Been Made in the
North Of England.

A lady member Of the Cumberland
and Westmoreland Antiquarian So
ciety of England has had the good for
tune TO discover what is believed to be
a Roman blooinery. or ancient smelt-
ing furnace. Her attention was drawn
TO the place by the work of moles,
which recently exposed some Of the
remains. and again later by the burn
ing OF the whins formerly ~concealing
the hearth and other features of the
bloomery, near Forest How.
BY ZONE exploration with a spade,
she traced the foundations of a large
hearth. twelve yards In diameter. and
a number of heaps of cinders. Stag
and ore and she also turned up spec
linens of Roman tiles. with pottery,
Stag and hematite. The size of the
hearth of the Forest How bloomery
marks II as quite different from the
ordinary ~north-country medieval iron
furnaces. which run from seven TO
nine or ten feet In diameter, for the
one just found is twelve yards across.
This appears to be worth further ex-
ploration and probably money for that
purpose will be found.

RAIN WAS GENERAL
IN NORTH NEVADA

Every county in Nevada was bene-
fitted by the rain Monday, according
to reports received by the weather
bureau at Reno. says the Gazette.
The precipitation was wisely dis
tributed, too. according to the same
reports. the drier portions of the state
receiving the greater portion of the
rain.
The heaviest precipitation was re-
ported in a line running across the
northern portion of the state from
Reno to Boise, Idaho, with Winnie
mucea reporting four tenths of an
inch. The rain became lighter as the
clouds travelled eastward, as Reno
received 1.6S inches during the
twenty-four hours.
The southern portion of the state
received less with only four hun
dredths of an inch reported at Tono-
pah. However, every county in the
state received showers 1T some time
during the day.
Washoe, Humboldt, Chul chill. Lam
der, Elko, P%ershing and O,msby coun-
ties received the most g,I,cIous sup
ply. Ranges in those counties were
well drenched and feed over the
ranges received much neeoed mois-
ture. The new alfalfa crop vas
also greatly benefited and it is be-
lieved the crop will be given a start
that will carry it through the month
without additional rains.

GIROUX FREED on CHARGE
OF KILLING HIS son

j. L. Giroux, millionaire mine OPP
orator, was exonerated by a coroner's
Jury at Nina for the killing of his
son, George, Sunday at Marietta. Mr..
Giroux was released after the hearing
held before l.. +. Cornelius. justice of
the peace at Nina. according to the
Gazette.
The testimony introduced tended to
show that George Giroux had become
temporarily insane and threatened to
kill the entire family. He had drawn
a pistol, cooked it and pointed it at
his father, when a sister persuaded
him to return the weapon to his
pocket. He again pulled the weapon
from his pocket, and evidence was in
troduced to show that the o rushed
for a gun that lay on the table near
his father.
Giroux, senior. grabbed the gun on
the table as the younger man reached
for it. The weapon was discharged

head.

FIND STEAMER LONG BURIED
Dredging Operations In the Mersey
Disclose Remains Of Vessel That
Had Been Forgotten.

For some time past the Mersey
docks and harbor board has been con-
Quoting dredging operations in the
neighborhood Of the Burbo bank. one
of the huge accumulations Of sand
which impede the navigation of the
Mersey entrance, and these have re-
suited in a find" of remarkable In
terest.
II Is the remains OF a steamer which
have evidently been embedded for
generations. Her date is long ante
rior to that Of iron shipbuilding. or
and framing. to which circumstances
doubtless Is due the fact that they
still retain cohesion and shape. and
have so wonderfully resisted the forces
of decay as to supply an abundant
quantity Of material for the souvenir
of fact. are described as being as
f'hard as iron"
The machinery has practically per-
ished, but the engine bed-plates and
the funnel remain. and relics Of pot
terry and other articles are plentiful.
The vessel, cleared of superabundant
sand. is not only visible, but accessible
at low water, and has been visited and
examined by many interested people.
The prevailing opinion is that she
is the William Huskisson. a paddle
steamer belonging to the City Of Dub
lin company, and trading between Liv-
erpool and the Irish capital. which on
the 18th Of January. 1910, was wreck
ed on her passage to the Mersey. She
had 120 passengers on board, Of whom
% were rescued by the ship Hudders-

PROHIBITION LAWS

In connection with the reported in

at San Francisco to vote for amend
ment of the prohibition enforcement
act, kilograms are being sent to in

ford, they are mistaken"
Among other kilograms sent this
morning, was the following from Mr..
Bedford to Senator C. B. Henderson:
Prohibition carried Nevada by an
overwhelming majority. 1t carried
every county, but one. Nevada dele
cation has no mandate to defy ex-
pressed will of the people of this
state.
IF it does this it will split the
party wide opel
while you are not responsible for
the Nevada delegation, let me urge
you very earnestly to employ your in
iuence against a step that car only
seriously affect the solidarity of your
supporters this fall"
