Fred Dufty, aged 24, an automobile machinist, was beheaded in b'ed at

rti o tho boy was asleep, as thero was no evidence of a struggle, but tho
nai weal parent, after ho had severed tho head, gouged tho eyes out and
manlated the face horribly.
The murderer then took the bloody axo in a sack to the homo of his
vifj and daughter, Mrs. Lacom, and struck tho latter two fierce blows on
the back of tho neck as she ran, splitting tho skull at ono blow, aud de

V blow was aimed at the older w oman who threw up her arm and
5ivl her head, but tho elbow was terribly gashed.
Dufty returned to his son's house, where ho was hacking at his
throat when tho police ran in.
In all, Dufty took three lives, as his daughter was within a week of

Tonight DUfty lay wrihing in opilepsy, strapped to a cot at tho ro-

A notable incident of the day was the
tho presentation to Bryan by several
hundred farmers from Ote county, Neb.,
of a "Big Stick" gourd, grown in
that county. It is about fivo feet in
lengthy nnd easily might be taken for
the original, if there ever was one,
which has been so extensively carica
tured. It bore tho inscription: "Billy's

ters. Bryan, althoughoxprcssing thanks for
tho gift, declared that if he is elected,
tho "big stick" will not bo wielded,
as he would rather rely on big ability to

control them through fear.

PRESIDENT CALLED
BY
JOHN MITCHELL AND RALPH M.
EASLY ASK HIM TO ADDRESS
CIVIC FEDERATION.
Mitchell Declares That Politics Had
Nothing to Do With Visit and Be
iterates Intention of Keeping Out of
Campaign Raines Sure of Taft.
OYSTER BAY, August 1?. Tho
guests at Sagamore Hill today includ
ed State Senator John Raines, the au
thor of the liquor law which bears his
name; John Mitchell, whose political
activities arc in behalf of labor in the
capacity of manager of the trade agree
ment department of tho national civic
federation, and Ralph M. Easly, chair
man of the executive counsel of the
samo body.
Senator Raines came to see the presi
dent on a personal matter involving
two army officers. Later, the senator
expressed Aa entirely personal opinion
that the president looked with favor
upon the political status of Governor
Hughes, but Raines was quick to add
that the chief executive is taking no
part in the campaign for the republican
gubernatorial nomination in the New
York campaign.
The visit of the- former president of
the United Mine Workers excited con
siderable interest because of his activ
ity in the national campaign of Samuel
Gompcrs. Mitchell, upon leaving Saga
more Hill, said that politics was not
mentioned. Easly nnd he, said Mitchell,
camo to Oyster Bay to invite thopresi
dent to address the National Civic Fed
oration at its annual meeting in Ncr
York City December 14, or some time
about tho middle of the month. Roose
velt did not accept because of doubt as
to whether he will'be able to leep the
leugagcment if made.
Tho labor loader reiterated his de
termination not to take an active part
in tho present national campaign.
Senator Raines explained that there
was nothing of public interest in hie
visit to Oyster Bay, When asked wheth
er he thought the renomination of
Hughes would strengthen tho national
ticket in New York, Raines said: "Taft
does not need any help."

At Inst night's council meeting, af
ter some discussion as to the terms
thereof, tho city clerk was instructed
to prepare an ordinance for the regula
tion of automobiTes in this city. The
speed limit will be fixed at six miles
an hour and each automobile must se
cure a number from the marshal, which
number must at all times be conspicu
ously displayed at the rear of the ve
hicle in numerals large enough for tho
pedestrian to note the number after
lie has been run oyer. This gives Globo -a
rather metropolitan air. Not many
months ago the idea of the necessity of
the city having an automobile ordinance
would have been regarded as a condi
tion extremely remote. But Globe Is
becoming a city sure enough and this
latest law of the city fathers is but an
other evidence of the rapidity with
which the Monster city is coming to the
front.
All members of the council were thero
except Feland, and City Clerk Welch
came in last night just in time to take
his place at the regular council meeting.
Wolf Will Catch Dogs.
The Committee which fiad been ap
pointed to provide a pound for the in
caeration of the many stray dogs and
other animals which roam the streets,
reported that a suitable piece of land
had been bought and bids were 'being
advertised for for the erection of the
necessary buildings. They also recom
mended the appointment of Herman
Wolf as deputy poiindmastcr, he having
agreed to furnish a horse and wagon
and all other necessary paraphernalia at
a salary of $25 per month in addition
to the fees arising.from the impounding
of animals. The report of the commit
tee was accepted and Mr. Wolf em
ploj'ed. J. J. Keegan presented a pctition to
the council asking for permission to
take dirt from the street in front of his
resideuce and fill in on his lot. lit ap
peared that the effect on the street
would be beneficial jrather than other
wise, but it was thought best to have
a committee of the council investigate
the matter before final action was ,
taken.
Bond Ordinances Up.
Two ordinances'camc before the coun
cil for their first reading, the first of
which was for regulating the bonds re
quired of city officers and prescribing
the conditions under which salaried
city employes may absent themselves
from tho city and their duties. The pro
vision is made that an officer must get
leave of absence from the mayor, must
provide a substitute acceptable to the
mayor and must compensate the sub
stitute himself without cost to tho city.
In reference to bonds the change is
made that permits of city officials to
givo personal bond, whereas the or
dinance provided that bond must be
given in a competent surety company.
The second ordinance is ono of great
importance. It is an ordinance provid-
ing rules of procedure for the council,
the order in which business shall be
transacted nt thd meetings, and divid
ing the council up into committees to
pass upon and have charge of matters
coming under their respective heads.
The effect of this ordinance will bo
to greatly facilitate business at tho
meetings of the board of aldermen, and
by bringing tho different departments
of the city under tho control of small r
committees, which .will familiarize it
self with its particular department and
give better and more intelligent ad
ministration of the city's affairs.
Mayor Kinney rend a communication
from Governor Kibbey inviting tho
council to select fivo delegates to rep
resent the city at the national irriga
tion congress to be held. at Albuquerquo "
this fall. It not appearing that any
one present cared to go at his own ex
pense, tho matter was laid over until
tho next meeting in the hope that
someone will come forward who will
promiso to go if appointed.
The bond of Floyd Blevins as super
visor of streets was received and ac- v
cepted by tho council.
This was one of the shortest meet- ,
ings yet held by the present council,
and the meetings will be much shorter
and more totho point when the city
fathers get to workjng under their
new rules of order.
