While driving along the lonely windmill road towards the Works with $3,000 to pay the month» 1y salaries of the employees, three men leaped ontirom the bushes at the side of. the road and ordered Foote to halt.

Three Highwaymen Try to Capture Cashier of Rope Works, Dartmouth, N. S. YOUNG EDWARD SHUT GIRLL' A NEW SEA MONSTER. Engineer Killed While Hunting in New Ontario. A despa-tch from North Bay says» Robert William Dickie, a C. P. R. engineer, of Chapleau, was acci~ dentally shot on Wednesday while deer hunting near Pogumasing, on the C. P. R“, 135 miles, west of North Bay. The accident resulted from the gun of a companion being trailed on the ground, a twig catch- ing the trigger, and the cnutents entering Dickie’s back. causing al- most instant death. Deceased was 35 years of age, and leaves a widow and four chiuldren. tunate woman end impelled her to commit the crime, the Cabinet promptly decided that the death penalty should not be exacted. It was felt, however, that it would not. he in the interests of justice to re- commend a full pardon, as the crime was undoubtedly one of murder, and that to set a new precedent of a full pardon after a, conviction for murder, even though pa-lliating circumstances all cried for the exâ€" ercise of mercy, would be unwise. After all the facts of the case were carefully considered and notice taken of the general sentiment of the country, as expressed in the immense number 'of petitions re- ceived, it was decided that the claims of justice and of mercy would be best met by a limited term in the penitentiary. Five Minors Fall With Cage â€" Only Two Seriously Injured. A despatch from Cobalt says: Five miners in the Temiskaming Mine had a miraculous escape from death by falling down the main shaft in the cage on Thursday ‘morn- ing while going on duty. The names of the men were: Claude McIsaao. Chris. Davis, William White. John Smithers and J. Mc- Donald. Davis and McIsaac both had fractures of the leg or anklea All are doing nicely except Davis who. it is feared, is internally in jured. Additional rich finds of gold in Whitney township are reported. chel in which was the money. For- tunately the bag fell into the wag-~ gen and was safely brought, to the Works. A doctor was sunnnoned' and it was thought, from a cursory examination, that Foote’s injuries- were not serious. Dartmouth p0- lioe were notified and were soon working on the case. Chief Iludland was also notified‘ The two highâ€" vs‘aymen were captured by police“ and citizens late in the day in the woods, about three miles from the scene of the crime. The men. both of whom were heavily armed offer- ed no resistance, being overawad by the large number of persons com-' prising tho posse. The prisoners are C. L. Gallagher of 272 Massa- chusetts avenue, Boston. and Herâ€" bert l‘l. Hussett, who claims to be. long to Missouri. They are about twentythrce years of age and. well.» dressed.

Clutter-' buck and Wagner were also called in, and the three physicians probed; for the bullets. One was locatedi in the girl’s left arm, but the other two, one in her right hip and an- other in her right shoulder, could not be reached. The wound in the hip is the only one that may prove dangerous, as it is feared it msy, have penetrated the abdomen.
