I.oulao Peatly, a wife a Man chester hanker, who according to her huBhand, was Blnln, while sitting he sldo him In their automobile. Moro than 1,000 searchers are out today around the scene of tho trag edy but so far have found no trace or a man who, Ueatty asserts, blocked tho Midlothian Pike to their automo bile and who, when asked to sur render half tho road, fired the shot gun, killing Mrs. Deatty. Ufoodliounrts a. Failure As soon as Beatty, with his dead wlfo beside him In tho machine, gave tho alarm bloodhounds wcro taken to tho sceno of the crlmo but they wandered aimlessly about two pools of blood In the middle of tho turn plko and were unable to pick up any trail. The coroner hero today is hold ing Beatty'a clothes and the fatal shotgun, the ownership of which he Is 'trying to trace. Tho Inquest will bo held tomorrow. Tho Beattys were married last August.and have two weeks old baby. Explaining tho circumstances of the tragedy, Beatty said ho and his wife wore returning from a ride In the automobile, when at lonely spot on tho Midlothian PIko ho saw a man jump from tho bush and Into the highway. He stopped the machine as tho man, with an oath, demanded to know If ho wanted to run ovei him. Beatty continued: Story Sonnds Fishy. "I told him there was room enough for both of us and tried to pass. He seemed either drunk or surly. With out a word he raised the shotgun In hls.hand and fired. The muzzle of the gun was not more than a yard from va7 wife. "Ab tho man fired I leaped from the car and grappled with him. I eslzed tho gun and ho struck me a fearful blow on the nose, rendering me momentarily unconscious. When I recovered he was gone. With one arm around my dead wlfo I drove fifteen miles through tho darkness for help." Beatty has an abrasion on the nose but so far has failed to explain why there were two pools of blood In tho road some distance apart. The charge of shot which killed Mrs. Beatty entered her face In a spot not moro than an inch and a half In diameter, even the wads from tho shotgun entering tho wound.

"Within two weeks the Liberals will Iinvc strong, eenlrnlired nnil well organized forvo proceeding against the troops of Mnttero. The little bnuds which the Mexican government refers to as 'bnndits' will grow into armies." Between Two Fltvs. Mngon was scarcely out of the confines of tho prison until he was Inking up his duties and directing affairs as president of Ihe Liberal party. "The American people think that everything is quiet in Mexico," he continued, "that the revolution is over and that Mexico is about to un dergo a period of unprecedented prosperity. Hut thoy have been de ceived. One of the principal causes for the deception is that all news reports arc censored by Mexican government officials. "Madero is between two fires. On the one hand is the opposition of Diar.' forces and the power of the Cientifico party is still much strong er tlinn is generally known. Madero's recent tilt with De La Barra will tend to strengthen the opposition of the Cientifico ring. With the Diaz sup porters is n brnuch of the Catholic church in Mexico which is oposcd to Madero. Uprising of laborer. "The actual uprising of the labor ers because of the economic situation shows that the people are coming to realize their rights and that they see that Madero has failed to mnke good his promises to improve economic conditions. "In the state of Morales the labor ing people are taking possession of the large ranches and the proprietor are fleeing to Mexico City. The government of Mexico never will be a stable one until the producer gels at least partial control of the ma hcinery of government and is able to better his condition."

After cleaning out tho day coaches the bandits went into the sleepers. In each thev fired one shot to awnken the passengers and then searched the occununt of every berth. The cx- nress and mail cars were not molest ed, although the express car usually carries lurge sums. It is believed the robbery of the passengers took longer than the bandits expected and they did not havo time to enter the express cars. After completing their plunder of tho passengers all three outlaws still masked remained on the train until it arrived on the outskirts of Buffa lo. As tho train slowed down to eomo into the yards all three leaped off and sprang into a waiting auto mobile which, n few minutes later, at high speed passed Tower City, going toward tho foothills. lsso After Them. Within a few minutes after the train arrived hero 60 picked men with United Stutes Marshal James Shea and Sheriff Boyle at their head, sturled in pursuit. They were ac compauicd by Fireman George Graves of tho train, who will identify all sus pects run down. SAYS LABOR UNIONS WILL COME UNDER SHERMAN LAW M BUTTE, Mont., July 20.

As a farce comedy their share in tho theatricals was a screaming suooe.-:. The Indj was tied up in the customary un breakable knots, scaled with sticking plaster and what not. Seated in a wooden cabinet, with a black shoo I for a background, Miss Howard was duly tied up by the aforesaid 'scien tific tent lemon' and a silken sheet of red drawn across the front of the cabinet. Immediately hands fumbled about inside, rattling metallic sub stances, and thrusting musical instru ments through an aperture in the curtain. Most of the amusing fea tures of the exhibition occurred when another lady was impressed inli sen-ice, and with Miss Howard or one side of him and the newcomer on the other, one of the 'scientific' men seated himself immediately in front of the cabinet, all holding hands, aud a black cloth tucked tightly nbout their fronts, leaving only their hand visible. From the moment tho scien tific man spent an uncontrollable quarter of an hour. He was tickled his ears pulled, objects were dumped on his head and every imaginable form of mischief whs dealt out to him by the "spiritual" hands.
