1000 SEARCH FOR
OWNER OF GUN
?MM
Wife of Banker Mysteriously Mur
dered Husband Was With Her .it
the Time and Tells a. Story Whlrh
Sounds Very Fishy.
lUCHMOND, Vn July 20. On tho
cnvnnrHhln or a stiotKiin IiniiRa the
nolutlon or tho mysterious staying of
MrB. 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.

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.

Within a few minutes after the

The Coalingo Herald says:
Last night's entertainment at the
liberty theater was enjoyed by .i
large crowd, who witnessed sonic
very mystifying feats in spiritualism
performed by May Howard, who stylo,,
herself- the 'Tsychic Wonder," as
sisted by Dr. Charles Sludc. In ordoi
to supply the necessary comedy to
wards lightening tho .oriousucss ut
the exhibition "two well known scien
tific nen of the community whon
reputation was above suspicion"
were impressed into service as critic
and surpervisors of the act for tin
community at largo, much to the said
community's delight as evidenced l
howls of laugh tor as the ainariug de
velopments of the aftair gradually
unfolded themselves. 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.
