suit of him. McKnight was placed
ife in jail and will return without reIp|

1 BUG ALIVE IX SOLID ROCK.
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

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

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.

fc if Grocer Sits on Burglar while WaitHj
ing for Police.
H ?
Henderson, Ky., Sept. 14.?Summoned
from home early this morning
* by a passerby, who saw a burglar in
fhis store, J. M. Overneia, a grocer,
entered, armed only with a poker,
' felled the supposed thief after a fight
and sat on him until the police came.
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

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

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

First Mixed Jury Hangs Fire. v
Bellingham, Wash., Sept. 12.?
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.

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. Will Rethune was arrested v
to-day in connection with the crime n
arid his brother, Malcolm, is being ii
sought by the authorities. Henderson,
it is stated, was proceeding tl
along the road to his hobae when he
was fired on by two men. The shoot- tl
ing aroused the neighborhood and T
Henderson was rushed to a hospital n
here. No motive for the crime is c
known. > n

WO NEGROES SHOT TO DEATH.
low in Edgefield Ends in Double
Killing?Woman Wounded.
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.
ROBBERS LOOT BANK.

Locked Officers in Vault.

\JVHV V ? A A W 9 t t j m jp? ?? ? ,
Jokeville National Bank was entered
>y two masked men this afternoon
nd eight men in the bank were lined
ip along the wall and searched. The
obbers got about $15,000, locked
he officers of the bank in the vault,
nd escaped. The robbers were last
een riding up a canyon. A mounted
osse has taken up the chase.
The robbery is attributed to Hugh
Vhitney, the Idaho bandit, and his
rother. It is claimed that the "Whiteys
have been seen near Cokeville
itely and they were charged with
he theft of a band of horses a few
ays ago. A hold-up of some char
oter has been expected and the
anks have kept most of their funds
nder time locks.
Would Have Governor Impeached.
The New York World a few days
go carried the announcement that J.
.rchie Willis, of Anderson, through
n attorney, was preparing to intitute
impeachment proceedings
gainst Gov. Coleman Livingston
ilease, of South Carolina.
This case will no doubt be watched
ith a great deal of interest not only
y the people of South Carolina, but
ther States. It will be remembered
hat some time ago Mr. Willis in an
rticle published in his paper, the
leltoii Times, charged that Gov.
tlease spoke discourteously to the
idy in the ticket office at Belton.
Mr wnnis is s mpmhftr of the South
