New Yoik, Aug. 28. Sir -Thomas
Lipton, aooard the Erin, declar
ed today in an interview that he
would never challenge again for the
America's cup uotil a man bad been
found in England who could equal
Nat Herreshoff in yacht-building.
The baronet' admitted his disap
pointment at his failure, and frank
ly said toat he had no hope of win
ning even in a single race. He said:
"American brains and development
have U8 beaten. If . the day ever
comes when England produces a
Herreshoff then I will challenge for
the cup again. It will not be until
then. It is unpleasant to be com
pelled to admit, but the brains in
boat building are on this side'of the
water.
"Herreshoff is a wizard. His
work is- wonderful. None could
have admired Reliance more than I
have. She is the best boat by all
odds, and has won on strict merit.
I am a most disappointed man. My
hopes were high when I left home,
for I surely believed we would car
ry back the cup. Yesterday's fluke
only piolonged the agony for me. I
do not want to win on any slips,
and I regretted Reliance's failure to
get over the line as much as any
one "else could."
. Sir -Thomas was aeked why it was
that Shamrock III was not given
more sail area. He replied that he
trusted" everything regarding con
struction and design to the best of
England's talent. He compliment
ed CaptafrlarrrahYsitld:' that "tie
had no fault to find with the way
in which Shamrock had been han
dled. J
'I hope," he said, "that we will
get a good 25-koot , breeze . and a
heavy sea tomorrow. Then we will
have had all the chances on the
calendar to try out Shamrock's
qualities." The Baronet praised
the hospitality and generosity of
Amerieir s, and expressed ; the be
lief that many of them wanted to
see him take the cup.
"They would push Shamrock
over the line ahead if they could, I
believe." .
M'Failmd, Kari., Aug. 28. At
doe o'clock this morning six mask
ed men, each heavily armed, ap
peared at the Rock Island depot
here and started to enter the office
door. Conductor Monnehan, of
freight train No. 48, which had just
pulled in, and " Night Baggageman
Charles Toler saw them and hurri
edly attempted to block the door,
but the robbers forced an entrance
and, after taking their money and
watches, beat the railroad men into
insensibility. They then rifled the
depot of its contents and going hur
riedly to the eating bouse, held up
and took all the valuables from half
a dozen men on the ' platform em
ployed at the roundhouse and
a part of the train crew. , Passen
gers at the lunch counter scurried
up stairs and blocked the entrance
effectively. vp'':':-.. '':pp; jp
The bandits then looted the eating-house
cash register and silver
ware, doing their work in a cool
and collected fashion after the man
ner of veterans.- . . .
Then "apparently as a joke they
marched and carried six of the
Rock Island employes, including
the night hostler and baggageman,
and locked them in a refrigerator
car and disappeared in an easterly
direction.
During the 30 minutes of their
presence not a shot was hred and
only Monahan and Toler were in
jured.
Two hours alter the robbers dis
appeared Sheriff Frey bad organ
ized a posse, released the prisoners
from the refrigerator car and gal
loped in pursuit. The bandits were
headed towards Topeka. v
The bandits secured eight watch
es and probably $150. . They left
McFarland on foot. At one o'clock
this afternoon the report came from
Pachaco that Sheriff Frey and Chief
Custy, of the Rock Island detective
force, aided by four county deputies,
had the robbers located in a patch
of timber, but at 2:30 o'clock it be
came known that the bandits bad

edRdh Wolfskin of Los

the trees of Sutro forest, or some
where in that vicinity. Without n
bat, and attired only in a dress of
light material,, she escaped Wed
nesday night from the California
general hospital, where she had
been under treatment. A thorough
search was made for her yesterday,
but no trace of her was found, and
her relatives fear that she may have
met with some mishap.
; The unfortunate young woman is
the daughter of John Wolfskill, a
wealthy and prominent resident of
Los Angeles. Hia beautiful resi
dence at Fifteenth and Grand aven
ue is familiar to every one in that
city. He also has a splendid coun
try home at Redoodo. Few people
are better known . in the Southern
metropolis than ; the Wolfskill?.
About a year ago Miss Wolfekill
showed signs of dementia. She
was placed in a private sanitarium
at Belmont, under the care of Dr.
A. Gardner. Although her parents
spared no expense, and did every
thing in their power to effect a cure
the young woman did not improve.
Her physician decided that an oper
ation was necessary to restore her
reason, and for that purpose, two
weeks ago, she was conveyed to the
California general hospital, at 230
Douglas street. V
p. While the nurse who waB attend
ing her left her charge for a few
minutes Wednesday night at 7 o'
clock, Miss Wolfskill made her es
cape. i One of the other patients
saw her climb out of the window
to the fire escape and climbed down.
She-was evidently bent on making
good her escape, as when she left
the yard she was almost running.

POWERS FOUND CUILTY
A THIRD JURY FINDS POW
ERS IN THE CONSPIRACY
TO KILL GOV. GOEBEL.
Powers Sentenced to Be Hanged
Couit Fixes Day of Execution
on November 25th Next
Other News. -
Georgetown, Ken., Aug. 29
The jury in the case of ex-Secreta-ay
of State Caleb Powers, charged
with complicity in a conspiracy to
murder Governor William Goebel,
in January, 1900y today found the
defendant guilty and imposed the
death sentence.
Special Judge Robbins this after
neon formerly overruled a motion
for the granting of a new trial, and
sentenced Powers to be hanged. Af
ter a declaration of the prisoner, "I
am not guilty, Judge,": the court
fixed November 25 next as the day
of execution. The attorneys for the
defendant secured the granting of
an appeal of the case to the Ken
tucky,court of appeals, and, if un
successful, they may 'try to get the
United States supreme court to take
it under consideration.
Powers was the coolest man in
the court room when the verdict
was -read and the sentence pro
nounced against him. He was im
mediately removed " to the Soott
county jail to be held there pending
tbe appeal of his case to the higher
courts. ' ' . ' ' '
Powers refused to say anything
after the rendition of sentence ex
cept that he said all that he cared
to say in his speech to the jury.
A telegram from ex-Governor
W. S. Taylor said: '"'This verdict
affects me. I cannot say a word."
Powers was sentenced to impris
onment for life in bis former trials
for complicity in the conspiracy
It was on his motion that he eecur
ed the new trials each . time. The
'veraTctnoday caused greaylexci la
ment among the friends of otherde-
fendants in these cases.
The trial closed shortly before
noon. Several hundred people
crowded the courtroom when the
verdict was read, and intense si
lence prevailed. The jury was poll
ed, and each man declared the ver
diet of guilty to be his finding.
The jurors decline to state whatoc
curred in the jury room.
Arthur Goebel, the brother of the
victim, broke down from the strain
on hearing of the verdict of guilty.
He is a prominent merchant at
Cincinnati, and he spent bis time
and fortune for over three years in
the prosecution of those accused of
being in a conspiracy to kill his
brother. ,.-' , ' '
Powers has been convicted twice
before, this being the third trial in
"which the jury brought in a verdict
against him. On his previous tri
als he escaped with a sentence of
life imprisonment. All of the tri
als were held at Georgetown, and
in each of them he had the assist
ance of the most able lawyers who
could be procured. . Subscription
lists were circulated in his interest
by frieuds, and a sum ' of money
was secured to defray tbe cost of
his repeated trials and the investi
gation of the circumstances 'which
preceded the killing of Governor
Goebel in the interest of the de
fense. I . '
The last trial was distinguished
by the fact that Powers addressed
the jury in bis own behalf, and- in
a long review of tbe case showed
himself to be a very competent at-,
torney, while his eloquence in
pleading for his life astounded those
who bad watched him carefully " in
the pa9t trials of the case,'
Powers has already been three
years in prison under the sentence
of the previous court.
When Powers secured hiB former
new trial a majority of these on the
appellate court were republicans,
but it is now com posed of democrat
ic judges. As the Commonwealth's
Attorney Bhook hands with eab ju
ror alter they were dismissed. Pow
ers watched , the greetings closely,
out at no time did be show any
signs of breaking down. ' '
Powers is regarded as a strong
man. He was elected secretary of
state on tbe republican ticket head
ed by W. S. Trylor in 1899, but
served only a few months, as s all
the state offices were contested ' by
the democrat dparty, heaed by Wil
liam Goebel.
The former trials of Powers were
before Judge James E. Cantrill,' of
this city, but he was barred from
sitting this time and Governor

tells of a heavy forest fire, which is
sweeping one of the heaviest ' tim

several other prospectors have had
their cabins burned and supplies
destroyed. The sweep of the flames,
he says, is something terrific and
millions of feet of timber have been
consumed, and'the dan: age will a
