Charles Hays, a drivei employed by the Puritan Coal Company, was shot and . killed today and Patrick Campbell, the company's paymae ter, was fatally wounded by three men, who escaped after taking a satchel containing $3,000 which it was intended to pay the coal com pany's employes at Puritan. The two men - were passing in a buggy,' when the - robbers, armed with shotsune, ' emerged from the woods, near the road and fired at them. Armed oosses are seeking the robbers and threaten to lynch them. ' Kimball said be tnougnp tneir assailants were Italians. They be gan to use their shotguns before be and Hays, who were bcth armed, could get out their revolvers. Kimball was also general super intendent of the Puritan mills. It is reported that two suspects have been arrested at Beaverdale. An Englishman whcsa name is not known, was caught while run ning, from a house in Pottage this afternoon. He bad been seeu early in the day, near where the hold-up occurred, but eecaped. Late this alternoon three Italians were arrested and came from the di rection "of Portage. "The men de nied their guilt, end no money or weapons were found on them. The commission of Cambria coun ty have issued a notice offering a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the guilty persons. It is estimated that 1,000 armed men are scouring the country within a radius of 1U miles of Portage. It developed there tonight that I the men in jail are not the men who did the Portage hold-up; and that the men wanted are secreted somewhere in Lovett county, six miles from the scene of the tragedy, where Sheriff Lenhart and a half hundred officers and twice that ma ny armed citizens are now : search ing every nook and corner. '- From every quarter for over a ra dius of 10 miles an army of farm ers, miners and. business men and officers are on guard. The men can not get through - the lines. The great pjpularity of Mr. Campbell .and the .dastardly crime .have set the' whole m'dUBtain' afireW v.-'." ! i At 12-30-o'clock watchers on the Fiaokstowo road saw two men, one of them with a satchel, croes and disappear in the bushes near the grave yard there. The men on guard called Jon the two men to t-top. They refueed and 50 shots were exchanged. Ine men were not captured find disappeared. Sheriff Lenhart returned at mid night and is signing more men to join the pursuers. The chase will be continued all night.' 1 he orders are to shoot any person who refuses to halt. Armed men are rushing in and out of the town every min ute. Revolvers and ammunition are being banded out to every available man.

Ward, of New York, in prop ogaling a new species of Angora goats at Debruce, Sullivan county, proves a success, it will mean a great industry for that section of country. Mr. Ward has purchased a large tract of wild land at Debruce, upon wmcn ne bas placed a herd ot im ported white angora goats. He has now gone to New Mexico in quest of 2,000 goats from that state, and proposes to cross the breeds, expect ing to produce a superior species. Several large land owners in the wilds of Sullivan couunty are watch ing the experiment with great in terest, and if it results successfully immense tracts probably will be de voted to the goat-raising industry, as the animal's wool brings about 50 cents per pound in the market. - Portland, July 30.

Jg Kingman, Ariz., July 30; Heavy rains in the mountains east of Truxton last night sent down a wall of water 3O feet high through the canyon, washing nut the Santa Fe railroad track, embankments bridges, telegraph poles and every thing movable for a distance of 12 miles.' Great steel bridges were taken from their fondations and piled up against the walls of the canyon. Massive stone abutments were crumbled and carried away, At Crozier everything movable. mcluilng the station signal, tele graph poles and box cars were piled dp on the big steel bridge to the west of the station.. At Hackburv thebumbhouse and machinery was "destroyed and swept into the valley miles away- The big well was hlled to the brim -With debris. ; .Houses . high - above all heretofore known above high-water marks were flooded and much dam age done. ., Thousands of men have - been hurried to the scene of the washout by the Santa Fe, but it will be some time before the water subsides sufficiently to allow the workmen to reconstruct the roadbed and bridges. - Many lines of telegraph down, and it will take jome for repairs. A report reaches Kingman cloudburst at Cedar, a mining camp 80 miles south of here, which car ried away part of a 20-stamp mill gasoline pump engine, blacksmith shop and other property. The shaft of the Arnold mill was filled with debris. The damage amounts thousands of dollare. were time of Savannah, Ga , July 4.

New York World: Twenty-seven years ago when the girls in the lunch counter at the Indianapolis Railroad station said "Draw onel" the faucet in the coffee urn was turned by a red- cheeked, blue-eyed, . broad-shouldered young Irishman. Tomorrow, unless plans change over night, or Judge Alton B. Par ker sends a message to thecontrary, that same Irishman, still red-cheeked, will be made chairman of the democratic national committee and placed in charge of the Parker and Davis campaign. His name is ihomas laggart.. In the' years between 1877 and the present time he has been county au ditor of Marion county, Ind., twice, Mayor of Indianapolis three times, chairman of the democratic state committee and a member of the democratic national committee. He has grown in a business way, too. He grew from the lunch counter in the station to a restaurant of bis own, then to the proprietorship of a small hotel, then to a larger hotel, and finally to the ownership of the Grand Hotel in Indianapolis and a chief interest in the resort at French Lick Springs, Ind. When laggart drew cottae, sold sandwiches and handed out pie at the lunch counter he was a smiling, good-natured lad, full of energy and with a faculty of making everybody his friend. He has not changed. His smile is just as cheery, bis eyes tw'iDklejust as brightly and he seems to grow more energetic as he gets older. He is the- .sublimated type of a "mixer." He knows ev erybody in Indiana, knows about everybody worth knowing in New York and bas a great acquaintance among politicians and statesmen in all parts of the country. He has been active iu politics in Indiana, where every man is a politician, since he walked there and got his lunch counter job in 1877. He bas won many fights from the republi cans and bas been interested in a large way in national democratic politics since be became a member of the democratic national commit tee in 1892. ' : ' Taggart is just what be is said to be a politician. He believes in getting results. He does not theor ize;-' He-does not plan complicated campaigns. He gets out .; and gets votes. : ; He can see an advantage as quickly as any one, and a good deal quicker than many. If be is placed in charge ot tbe rarKer campaign be will have an active canvass started in ten day. He is familiar with the methods of both democratic and re publican national committees. He knows the workers in all the states. He makes no pretensions about his own status. T He says the way to win a campaign is to win it; and he proceeds on that theory, without bothering about the ethics of the game. V Taggart has had an ambition to be chairman of the democratic na tional committee since 1900, There was much dissatisfaction among democrats with ex-Senator James K. Jones, who managed the Bryan campaign in 1896, and Taggart said be would like to try his hand at it Mr. Bryan sent word that Jones mast be reelected. He said it would not be fair to take him from the chairmanship because he lost in 1896. Taggart acquiesced cheer fully. He did -what he "could to help Brayan in Indiana. Then when the present campaign came on he frankly etated his ambitions again. Usually the national chairman- shiD is supposed to seek tbe man, Taggart thought that folly. He could not see why a man who thought himself fitted to ran a na - Portland, A ugust 1. "I am not crazy; I am Elijah'." Thus spoke Joshua Creffield, prophet and founder of the "Holy Rollers," to ministers of tbe Gos pel who visited the prisoners incar oerated in the county jail yesterday, afternoon. He raised himself from the cot on which he was lying, propped his head on one hand, bat-' ted his eyes at the men on the oth ep side of the bars, made his state- ment and lay down again. When the ministers first stopped in front of his cell, Creffield was apparently asleep. As the men were about to ' pass on tbe apostle raised himself ., from the cot and glanced at them inquiringly. , "You have done wrong and you -should repent," eai 1 one uf the min isters. "You shotiM get this crazy idea of teligion out of your head." Then Creffield glared through tbe bars from his "position on - the cot and replied, in a stronger voice than be bas used since bis capture: . - 1 am not crazy; 1 am Elijah I" Creffield spent a comparatively quiet day, save for times when he was subject to curses and jibes from tbe other prisoners. To these he paid no attention. Accusations.' oaths, ridicule, Barcasm were pour ed into his ears from almost every' other man incarcerated in the bas tile. At times he turned over on his cot to sneer at his tormenters, at other times he batted his eyes and worked tbe muscles of his face as though about to break into a tor rent of rage, but he spake no word, not even in complaint to the jailer. . The prophet awoke at an early hour, and was Immediately given -some nourishing food. ' After eat ing be lay down on the cot again and apparently fell asleep. Until noonthe remained in this mood. Shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon be was given more food, and was asked how he felt. "I feel stronger he said. "I guess I will be all right in a few days. I am Elijah." There was some color in the prophet's face yesterday. It was evident that he was feeling better and he was recovering his compo sure. Ibe pallid appearance of his features when he was first brought to Portland was partly due to fear. He seems to recognize now that he is safe, and although he does not say so, it is apparent that the coun ty jail is most welcome after the pit beneath the Hurt residence in Cor vallis. He did not renew the re quest be made of Detective Hart- man on the way to Portland, that he be allowed to have a Bible in the jail. He Beemed to want to spend tbe day in rest. , In the middle of the afternoon Creffield arose from the cot ' and walked unsteadily around the cell. Once more he was subjected to the sarcasm of the other prisoners, but he made no answer. : He remained off bis feet for' about ten 'minutes then lay down on the cot again. An Oregonian representative vis ited Creffield during the afternoon but tbe apostle would not talk con cerning the charge over his head, or concerning his experiences dur- lug 111 a poriuu nucu uo wh muiug from tbe officers of ..the law. He listened to questions asked him with a peculiar look in his eyes and seemed not to hear. At times be look ed up quickly as though bringing himself from a reverie, but he an swered no question, except to say "I am Elijah.". "But there are other Elijahs," he was told. "Dowie says he is E- lijah also." "There are many importers." re plied Creffifld. "I am Elijah." . nah's first bale of new cotton has Jahen. W. L.
