Fanning was the worse off for 11- juor when he gave himself up at the «tation, and drew a revolver and kill- id himself, after he had handed a letter to the officer in charge telling London, July 26.—Louis Blériot, the Frenchman who made history by flying across the English channel from Les Baraques to Dover, a distance of 21 miles, in less than half an hour, and his little Monopine reached Londan this morn ing, the former to receive the monetary fruits of his achieve ment and the latter to be placed on exhibition to the finamcial advantage of both a London hospital and the enterprising pro prietor of the only American department store here. Blériot returned to Dover to attend the civic reception in his honor, and was almost mobbed by the enormous crowds which greeted him everywhere. A similar ovation awaited the aviator at London,the ‘ Blériot fever” having seized a large part >f the populace of Lnodon, numerous honors and medals await ing Blériot on this side of the channel, the principal prize being a gold cup offered by Captain Wyndham for the first flight across the channel. It will be presented to the Aero Club din ner on August 9. Experts here regard Bleriot's feat as a vindication of the monoplane type of machine over the bi plane.

P I MAN WHO HEARS VOICES SENT TO ASYLUM John Francis Bope Put Off the Train and Makes Unexpected Visit at rnvate Residence New Bedford. Mass., July 26.— « Tz, That, th«" Pacific Light & J’ower Company's big electric power plant at T«.angle Lake, as mentioned by The Luatd a few days ago, and at sev eral times previously, will be rushed to completion soon is evidenced by the filing of two condemnation suits this morning by L. M. Travis, at torney for the company, to acquire a right-of-way for the power flume through a tract of the Oregon * Cal- ifo: -lia Railway Company's land and for a site for the power house. It is desired to acquire a small tract of three acres from the railroad company. The land is said to be rocky and barren, and a value of 62.50 an acre has been set on it by the electric company. It is alleged in the complaint that the sum of $7.50 has been tendered the railroad for the land, but the sum has been refused, and the parties concerned are unable to reach an agreement for the sale of the land. The other complaint is against T. H. Watkins and to condemn five acr<-s which, the company alleges. Is worth $60, end that sum has been tendered Watkins for the land, but he refuses to sell. The complaint states that consider able construction work has been done, The first filing on the water right was made on September 26. 1906, and on March 25. 1907, actual construction work was begun, ac- cording to the complaint. Big < a[>itali-t Behind It The Guard has previously men tioned the fact that W. S. Spencer, a capitalist, was behind this project, but little has been said as to his iden tity. It is learned that he is a big tobacco manufacturer of Cincinnati, and is worth al lthe way front $5,- 000,000 to $10,000,000. He is am ply able to build the big plant, which will cost In the neighborhood of | As «tatad before by The Guard, it is proposed to furnish elec tric power and light to Eugene, Junc tion City. Corvallis and other upper Willamette valley cities. It Is learn ed that should the Lane County As set Company be unable to put its Sl- uslaw railroad scheme through Spen cer and his associates may interest themselves in the matter and build an electric line. John Francis Bope. about 43 v'g'rs and single, was committed to the in sane asylum (his afternoon. He was ■ put off the midnight train here Sat urday night by the trainmen because he appeared to be insane, and he was locked up. Yesterday he was turned loose, as he appeared perfectly ra tional. But later in the day he prov ed his insanity by going to the resi dence of R. McMurphey and demand ing admission. He was ordered away by Mr. McMurphey. but he soon returned and had to be forcibly eject ed from the premises, it taking three men to do it. Bope was then locked up and was given an examination this afternoon before Judge Chrisman, Drs. T. W. Harris and F. E. Selover being the examining physicians. Bope is a miner by occupation. He says he hears strange voices and de clares that it was one of these voices which told him to go to the McMur- phev residence yesterday. CAPITALIST COLEMAN IN POLICE COURT B.
