Charles Thiery of Moffett's Corner

the body received when he was at
tackled by an enraged bull last week at
his ranch. Thiery, who was repairing
a fence, had his dogs, Ring, collie,
and Buddy, a nondescript bull terrier,
with him when a vicious bull attacked
him from behind.
Thiery was knocked into the barbed
wire of the fence by the force of the
animals charge and did not have time
to run when he saw the animal about
to gore him.
But for the interference of Ring, the
collie, who grabbed the animal by the
throat and held on, and Buddy, who
seized the animals flank in his teeth,
Thiery might have been killed. Thiery
was able, because of the intervention
of the dogs, to get up and out of the
way of the bull.
The rancher suffered a 10-inch lac
Grafton in his back. The dogs were

Ring was formerly owned by Mr.. and

yeart some time ago. The rancher be-
lieves that he owes his life to the

OF U. S.
MARSHAL in COLORADO
BOTHERS POLITICIANS

DENVER, Nov 17.-(P)-With con-
gress scheduled to convent within the
next month and with both of Colo
radios United States senators republi-
can, politicians of the state of the re-
publican brand now are turning their
attention toward the selection of a
successor to the late w. A. Dollison as
United States marshal for Colorado.
Harry Mcintyre, chief deputy under
Marshal Dollison, has been acting
marshal since Collisions death. Fred

in behalf of Charles w. Waterman,
successful candidate for the senator
ship, and Secretary of State Carl s..
Milliken, who relinquishes office on
January II, next, are declared to be
the leading contenders for the place.
Milliken, shortly after the republi-
can state assembly, according to re-
ports, was approached and offered the
place as United States marshal if he
would retire at that time from the pri-
mary campaign for the gubernatorial
nomination. At that time Milliken de-
clined the offer and continued on
through the primary, being defeated
along with John f. Vivian by former
Governor Oliver II. Shoup.

BY ELECTRIC METHOD

PORT ORCHARD, Wash, Nov 17(P)
Mrs Herbert j. Kennison told Il
Jury here today in the trial of w. g.
walker, on a charge of attempting
to murder her husband, that Walker
promised to shoot Kennison if
strong electric current run through
an electric plate did not kill him.

man here, opened yesterday. Kenni-
son is painted in the Puget sound
navy yard at Bremerton, nearby

told her she could sue the Puget
Sound Light and Power company for

cause he would remove all traces OF
it. Kennison was to have stood on
the plate when he came home from
lodge August and turned on
light at his home. The wife admit

such entertainments and became in
innate with him. Mrs. Kennlson

atus which she said Walker, reputed
to be a graduate of technical schools
in Germany, had constructed. She

NO HOPE is BEING HELD
OUT FOR SIX ENTOMBED
PENNSYLVANIA MINERS

HAZLETON, Pa, Nov. IT, up No
hope was held out tonight by mine
workers that the six me ntrapped in
the lower level of the Tomhicken mine
by a rush of water are alive. Black
creek, swollen by heavy rain, was re-
turned to it's channel today and the
rushing water of the stream again
flows down the mountainsde to the
Susquehanna river at Nescopeck.
The creek broke from it's channel
yesterday and rushed into the lower
level of Tomhicken before the men
working there could be warned to set
out Two hundred men worked all of
last night and part of today to stop
the rush of water into the mine. Tim
ber, loads of hay, great quantities of
earth and trees cut down from the
mountainside were thrown into the
path of the runaway water.
After engineers had made sure the
creek would not again break away all
effort was directed to pumping from
the mine. AS most of the pumps in
the mine are under water, spare pumps
from other mines were transported to
Tomhicken an9 placed in operation.
some are operated py Slean, otherS
by electricity.
Engineers had hoped to clear the
workings sufficiently in three days to
a week to make a search. Company
officials declare there is still hope
that the men may have escaped to a
chamber in a high level, but the four
men who narrowly escaped from the
lower level say they do not think the
six had q chance.

LIVING In
SQUALOR WHEN GIVING
AWAY "A cool MILLION

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-P)-Jackson
Barnett, wealthy Creek Indian of Okla
homa was living III squalor at the time
he signed away more than $1,009,000,
according to testimony today in a suit
to set aside d gift of $550.000 which
Barnett made to the American Baptist
Home Mission $ CT e y. The United
States government, as intervening pc
titioner in the suit, withdrew today
its allegations of fraud against Albert
B. Fall, former secretary of the in
terror; F. NJ Goodwin, Falls assist
ant, and Charles II. Burke, commits
sioner of Indian affairs.
The governments position, now is
that while the three officials did not
commit the fraud, the secretary of the
interior exceeded his legal power in
approving the gift, and that the gift
was improperly made, The suit was
brought by Edwin Bailey, Barnett's
guardian, on the grounds that the so
year -old Indian is incompetent and
that the department of the interior had
no right to allow the gift, it's duty be-
ing merely to administer Barnett's af-
fairs for Barnett's own benefit
Barnett, who is illiterate and signs
all papers with his thumb print, shows
no interest in the hearing. 1t was tes-
titled today that when the gift was
made he was living in a squalid
four room house that had no fireplace,
sharing the house with four negroes"
Barnett's wealth came when oil WAS
discovered on his land, though it is
said that Barnett did not know at the
time that he owned the land.
Charles b. Rogers, attorney for the
Baptist society, declared that the coun-
~ court which made Bailey Barnett's
guardian, had no right in the matter.
He said that Bailey never was Bar
nett's guardian, because Barnett was
living in California when the appoint
ment was made.

America Concerned Regarding
BoLsheoist Hegenony Betueen
United States and the Canal

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. = up = The
spectre of a Mexican -fostered bolshe-
visit hegemony, intervening between
the United States and the Panama ca
nal has thrust itself into American
Mexican relations already strained.
This striking development in Latin
American relationsJ which has been
lingering near the surface for several
weeks, came to light today with an APP
peal by Adolfo Diaz, new president of
Nicaragua, for American Intervention
to restore peace in that country, and
formed the background of warning
by Secretary Kellogg that "interfer-
ence from outside sources" in Nicara-
guam political affairs was viewed with
corncen in Washington.
While the American secretary of
state did not go beyond outside
sources" in explaining the recognition
of Diaz as the constitutional head of
Nicaragua, his warning was founded
on official reports showing repeated
gun-running expeditions from Mexi-
can ports to Nicaragua and Guatemala.
The gun-running ships of which the
American government has knowledge
are these:
The steamer Tropical, which loaded
arms in a Mexican port, but on touch
ing in Salvador was detained until the
Mexican minister interviewed. There
are indications that this steamer be-
longed to the Mexican government or
was under it's orders.
The steamer Foam, which went from
New York to a Mexican port and later
proceeded as an armed ship and par
ticipated on the liberal side in the
fighting in Nicaragua at Bluefields and
Baragman's Bluff.
The steamer Jalisco, owned by the
government owned Mexican national
lines and apparently commanded by
former Mexican naval officers.
The schooners Star and Palonita, the
last named of which was under the
Mexican flag They both carried armed
troops and machine guns into Nicara-
guam waters. The developments today
served to disclose the reasons for the
added seriousness with which the Mex
ican-American relations have been con-
sidered here for the last ten days. For
the moment the question of Mexican
interference in Central American coun-
tries presumably for the purpose of
fostering radical propaganda and boil

A FUND
FOR CHECKING
BALLOTS CAST
FOR GOVERNOR

PHOENIX, Nov. IL (AP)
In the event, that a certifi-
cate of election is issued to
Gov eIrnor George w. p.
Hunt, democra at, by the
election board, following an
official canvass Of the gu
bernatorial vote in the No
vember 2 election, E. S.
Clark, republican candidate
for that office, will start
contest proceedings, the re-
publican state central COM
mittee made known tonight.
Unofficial canvass of the vote in the
IA counties of the state showed that
Governor Hunt, now serving his fifth
term, had won the gubernatorial race
by the narrow margin of SS3 votes out
of some $4,000 cast, Checking of Of
ficial counts from the clerks Of the
board of supervisors to date has not
altered this figure materially. Four
counties today were yet to report, their
official canvass. If Clark contests
the apparent reelection of Governor
Hunt it will be the, second such contest
in Arizona's IA years history as state,
Governor Hunt having successfully
contested the election Of Thomas
Campbell, republican, in 1916. When
Governor Hunt defeated Dwight B.
Heard, republican, two years ago by
a margin of some 500 votes, rumored
contest by the republican candidate
failed to materialize.
Members of the executive committee
of the state central committee met here
today in response to a call of the re-
publican chairman, and after a dis
cussion of evidences of alleged irregu-
larities in various precincts, unani-
endorsed action looking toward
a contest. The committee pledged it.
self to raise an initial fund of $500
70 defray the estimated expense of an
inspection of the ballots cast for gov
ernor. Committee composed of John
C. Phillips, Lloyd B. Christy, G. c.
Lewis, Allen e. Ware and w. p. Bar
mum was named as board of trustees
to administer the contest fund. Christy
was chosen treasurer, the chairman and
secretary to be selected later. The
resolution adopted by the committee
follows:
Resolved, that the executive COM
mittee of the republican state COM
mittee hereby endorses action looking
to an inspection of the ballots cast for
governor in the recent election, the
expense of which is estimated at ST.,
500, and pledges itself to raise said
amount for the purpose of such inspec-
tion, it being understood that should
said inspection sustain the grounds
now apparent for proceeding with the
contest, efforts be made to raise funds
sufficient therefor by popular sub
scription, and that a board of trustees
be appointed to administer said con-
test funds"
In the absence of H. S. Corbett, re-
publican state chairman, Who is i'll.
the meeting was called to order by
w. W. Pickrell, secretary of the cen
trail committee. James p. Boyle of
Douglas was named chairman and
Judge Clark outlined the legal pro-
cedure for bringing an election con-
test. He told why he believed an in
spection. of the ballots would reveal
alleged irregularities to such an extent
as to materially affect the announced
results.
