Lv ^ Insect Entombed in Quartz Blasted Out 200 Feet Below Surface. p, I, Entomologists here have found |r something that has stumped them, and they are likely to call on their ^i brethren elswhere to help them out. 4 It is a bug that has been taken from an apparently solid piece of rock hd- blasted out more than 200 feet below the surface, p# The find was made by W. J. Wostenholme, general manager of the fe Shamrock Gold Mining and Milling ?- company at Marysvale, recently. He I was going over the dump looking at Pfe the broken ore that had come up I ;V> from the mine in order to pick out | f some specimens he wanted to use. BHe broke open what appeared to be a solid piece of rock, first cracking it with a hammer. When he separated it he found in a little cavity a bug K-i? about a quarter of an inch long. It f ^ was not very lively, but it was alive. He examined the rock to see if there \ ? , was any fissure that could let in air r 3 X ^ nnrtf Knt f nOfO TCQ Q 71H PV1 ? XU til C lUO^V/l) UUU WUVi V *? VHW MV ? dence of any. Mr. Wostenholme was particularly interested because about a year ago I* George F. Dalton, the president of i t .. the company, while hunting specimens, came across a similar bug in a similar little hole in .what appear| ed to be solid rock. This had been I i taken from hard quartzite that had p v been blasted out 100 feet below the surface. Mr. Dalton consulted some experts in such things, but they oould not tell him what they had found. As a matter, of curiosity he i put the bug in a sealed bottle, and it lived for months without any visible means of subsistence. * The entomolgists here are very ) much interested in this new find, and it is expected that a full description of the bug will be sent to various au"l1 J~t ? ? nnkiamf in fho hnnp h moriues U1X Uic auujcu >u i.uv > that some one of them may be able 6 to tell what it is and something of (* the phenomena surrounding its life f under such remarkable conditions.? 1 ' New York Tim?s. SI . Diegle Sentenced to Three Years. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 9.?For 2 Riding and abetting in the alleged * bribery of State Senator L. R. Andrews, three years' penitentiary senPi 1 tence to-day was imposed on Rodney It / Diegle, former sergeant at arms of ff> the Ohio State senate. Sentence, however, was suspended until Sept. 18, 1912, to allow the case to be carried to the circuit court. r/: The offense for which Diegle was fe. ; convicted was charged against him following the disclosures of illegal p.- grafting among the State legislators * last winter. Diegle was alleged to ^ have been the go-between for the assemblymen. The bribes, it was charged, were offered by detectives H? * in a room of a local hotel, while in jjp' adjoining room other detectives and feL- stenographers were secreted, records' Ing the alleged bribery conversation - ' ? ?__x through a telephone msu uuucui soiled "the dictagraph." With Diegle, nine other members of the legislature and one attache of the senate were indicted. They were Senators Crawford, Andrews, Huff? ^ man, Cetone and Dean; Representat v tives Lowrey, Nye, Calvey and Ev|f ans, and Stanley Harrison, assistant sergeant at arms of the Senate. Representative Evans pleaded guilty and was fined $500 and Nye was f \ acquitted at trial. The others have j not been tried. Surrounded by his lawyers, his ^ face gray and sunken at times, at ' other times flushed, Diegle seemed a broken man. After hearing the judge's sentence Diegle slumped forf | ward in his chair and wept. FELLED THIEF WITH POKER. V" - fc if Grocer Sits on Burglar while WaitHj ing for Police. H ?

The prisoner has been identified as Frank Willison, who escaped from jail several weeks ago while being held oh a highway robbery charge. In addition to robbery and breaking jail a third charge of housebreaking mF now rests against him. "DRYS" APPARENTLY VICTORS. 1 Surprises in Maine Election?Small I Majority for Prohibition. Portland, Me., Sept. 12.?After a day of almost constant surprises, g during which the result was many A times hanging in the balance, it ap- r peared to-night on the face of offici- r al returns for town and city clerks r in all but 196 towns and plantations n that prohibition had won in the t; special election of yesterday by 465 "V votes. Most of the towns yet to be v heard from have been unofficially re- r ported from small majorities favor- \ ing retention of the prohibitory a amendment in ithe constitution and p any change is likely to help the pro- n hibitionists. t iV- AO? + Ill 8.QQ1HOI1 LU uue tou majuui>; w shown by the clerks' returns, there \ are fifty more dry votes known to t exist in Portland, which are not in- t eluded in the city clerks' report, be- e cause of an admitted error. If necessary the anti-repealers will peti- j tion for a recount. a The change from an apparently e victory for the "wet" side by 700 c votes, the 500 votes in favor of the t "drys" came as a big surprise. The o prohibitionists had practically con- b ceded defeat, while reports of those n who sought repeal had sent out nu- a merous statements on the strength of their apparent safe majority. t! Of the other referendum questions t before the people yesterday, that b proposing to making Augusta for- c ever the capital of the State and ii that favoring the direct primaries t" act, were carried by large majorities, t according to returns at hand to- iti snight t Majority Slightly Reduced. \ Later: Revised returns on the question of the repeal of constitutional amendment at 1 o'clock this - 1 morningreaucea tne majority agamst j repeal to 295. The total vote stood: For repeal, 60,216; against repeal, 60,511. ' ' C HYDRICK URGED FOR PLACE. a Mention of Present Associate Justice u r for Chief Justice. t a Columbia, Sept. 14.?News stories in circulation in Spartanburg are p taken as indicating that Associate Justice D. E. Hydrick will be a can- ^ didate for chief justice, to succeed b Mr. Ira B. Jones. Mr. Hydrick was elected associate justice in Febru- j ary, 1909. Since this mention of Mr. ^ Hydrick as a candidate for the chief ^ justiceship, other intimations have come forward that Judge Sease may ^ be Dut forward as a candidate for Mr. ? Hydrick's place, in the event the latter should receive the election as chief justice. Chief Justice Jones's position will be filled by the coming legislature, at which time the fifth a justice of the court, created by re- a cent constitutional amendment, is to a be also elected. v gi a Tooth Stopped Flying Bullet.

Northwest Washington's first "mixed jury," six men and six women, had ^ failed this morning to agree on the guiljt or inocence of a saloonkeeper charged with selling liquor to an Indian yesterday. si Late last night the bailiffs escorted tl the jurors to separate domitories on. h the top floor of the court house and tl locked them up. When the jurors re- h ported that they still were unable to h reach a verdict, the court declined to v aecept a disagreement and sent the f< jury back. It is reported that a wo- a man juror is preventing a verdict be- c: ing reached. Seattle, Sept. 6.?Of 23 women _ called for jury duty in King county only one remains on the list, the others having been excused when pleas of sex exemption were urged. i? ii Merchant Shot from Ambush. d ?? e: Griffin, Ga., Sept. 10.?Thomas n Henderson, a well-known merchant d of Hampton, Ga., was ambushed and o probably fatally shot near here last night.

Edgefield, Sept. 12.?Charlie Moran and Wiley Jones dead and Carrie lorgan, the mother of Charlie, seiously if not fatally beaten, is the esult of a negro row, which occured on the plantation of Mr. Vain, ear Trenton, last night. It appears hat bad blood existed between the Viley and Morgan family, and as he ras going to a neighbor's house his oute, leading by the Morgan home, Viley was halted by the Morgans, n altercation followed and the reort of two guns rang out on the still ight. Alex Jones and others ran o the scene of the trouble to find he lifeless forms of Charlie and Viley lying on the ground, while he woman sat nearby, bleeding from wo ugly wounds in the head inflictd by some blunt instrument. By the verdict of the coroner's ury Wiley received his death wound t the hands of Charlie. Who killd the latter does not seem to be lear; some think it was a duel to he death between the two, while thers hold that Charlie was killed y Alex. Another theory is that his aother accidentally killed him in an j ttempt to shoot Wiley. Alex Jones is in jail to answer for he death of Charlie; the woman is oo badly wounded to be arrested, ut it is very likely that she will be harged with being particeps crimais to the homicides. Who inflicted he wounds upon the woman seems o be an open question, but the testmony and circumstances lead to, the lelief that they were inflicted by Viley.
