STERLING, HU Nov. 7. (Special.)
In a duel over a girl, fought with bare
fists in a secluded spot several miles
north of this city, Will Ludwig was
Injured, perhaps fatally, by Fred
James. While the duel was taking
place John Miller, a third admirer of
Miss Lena Amsden, eloped with th.
young woman to Des Moines, Iowa.
Ludwig and James had been close
friends for years, until both became
admirers of Miss Amsden. The young
woman showed no preference, treating
both alike. The two men became ene
mies. Friends Interceded and pre
vailed on them to fight a duel, the
loser to give up the contest for the
girl's love.
Meantime the young woman was
frightened at the controversy and
eloped with Miller.
MOTHER'S TEARS FREE SON
Man Sentenced to Serve" Tear Is
Paroled by Judge Gatens.
Because his mother begged Judge
Gatens, with tears streaming down her
cheeks, to give her boy another chance,
Earl Rockford, under indictment on a
statutory charge, was sentenced yes
terday, to serve a year In the Peniten
tiary and was paroled Immediately.
Judge Gatens told the prisoner, after
his plea had been changed from not
guilty to guilty, that only his mother's
love and devotion had prevented the
actual execution of the sentence.
While serving time at the rockpile
a few months ago Rockford accidental
ly got Into communication with Mrs.
Will Edna Suess over the telephone
and a flirtation ensued. After his re
lease they eloped to Pendleton, where
they had a marriage ceremony per
formed. When they came back to Port
land Rockford was arrested for drunk
enness and his association with Mrs.
Suess was revealed. Both were in
dicted on a statutory charge and Mrs.
Suess' husband obtained a divorce.
The woman has yet to come to trial
for her share in the alleged offense.
As yet no attempt has been made to
have her Indicted for bigamy and the
probabilities are that she will not be
required to face that charge.

PEKIN, Nov. 7. The legations be

no hope of saving even a nominal
throne.
The provinces north of the Yangtse
River are now declaring for a republic
The only force of Manchu troops large
enough to cope with the local situa
tion is in Pekin. There are indica
tions tonight that the capital will be
surrounded before many days by Chi

Where the court will take refuge Is
a question. There are evidences that
the court Intended to proceed to Chang
Kian Kau.
Dynamite to Cover Retreat.
Troops guarding the route to that
town, which lies in Chi-Ll. 125 miles
northwest of Pekin, were expected to
dynamite the tunnel after the passage
of the train bearing the Emperor and
his household. Reports have been re
ceived that Chang Klan Kau is unsafe.
The National Assembly is holding
meetings wtihout a quorum, but cer
tain members are endeavoring to main
tain a nucleus. Ne Tung, vice-president
of the privy council, has taken
root is for bis family In a hotel In '
the legat' a quarter. Prince Citing's '
palace seems deserted. It Is believed
he Is in the Forbidden City.
American soldiers, with a supply of
skyrockets, were sent to each outlying
mission compound tonight.
Caution Enjoined on Americans. ,
The legation has advised the Ameri
cans to come into the quarter or seek
other places of safety. A concerted
attack upon foreigners Is not feared,
but there are many within the city
who are opposed to foreigners.
General Chang ..'.hao-Tsen, who was
appointed by imperial edict as envoy
to proceed to the Yangtse provinces
to conciliate the people, has declined
the appointment, saying that he pre
ferred to remain with his own troops
at Lanchau.
The government proposed today to
cut the Pekin-Tien Tsin Railway be
yond Feng-Tal to prevent additional
troops from arriving. It is said that
the British Minister, Sir John Jordan,
protested on the ground that Great
Britain was entitled to operate tha
railway In th. event of the suspension
of services, in accordance with an old
agreement. Consequently, the line is
still open.
Railway. Are Threatened.
The Chinese report that the Kalgan
Railway is in the hands of the revolu
tionists, while a force is proceeding in
the direction of Pekin at a point on
the railway about 70 miles from the
capital. All railroad connections with
the capital are threatened.
It is feared that the assassination
of General Wu Lu-Cheng will lead to.
the revolt of the rest of his old sixth
division, which is not with Yuan Shi
Kal. The government reports, how
ever, that two trainloads of imperial
soldiers are on the way to Hankow,
and these may be sufflcientlto prevent
a mutiny.
A hundred carts left "Pekln tonight
for Jehol and 200 mounted Manchus
proceeded in the same direction early
In the day.
The Chinese believe that this party
is preparing the way for the flight of
the court, but many Manchus are flee

in the vicinity of Pekin.
The Manchu troops here number 11,
