San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 22.—The
case of Manuel Perez came up in the

Perez was in company with another
Mexican when the alleged assault was

on their way to San Antonio and were
about ten miles from the city when
they were accosted by Perez and his
companion. While one of the men held

Helena, Mont., Oct. 22.—Though
Montana does not elect a state ticker
this year, the political situation is full
of interest nevertheless, for nearly an
entire legislature is to be elected and
this legislature will choose a succes

has announced that he will not again
be a candidate for the senatorship. The
candidates for the senatorship are as
follows:
Democrats—Joseph K. Toole, the

Frank, formerly chairman of the state
committee, who was interested in the
election of Senator Clark, and W. G.
Conrad.

Special to The Kvenlaic Times.
Carrington, N. D.. Oct. 22.—A very
bad explosion of gasoline, which came
very nearly being attended by a fatal

closed its business Saturday, Mr. Hyde
and his wife, who is bookkeeper, were
engaged in going over the cash. They
had between $4,000 and $5,000 in cur
rency' and gold on the counter, and
were counting it over when a large
gasoline lamp which hung over .Mr.
Hyde's head, suddenly exploded,
throwing burning oil over his head
and shoulders, on Mrs. Hyde and on
the currency which lay loose on the
counter. Mr. Hyde, enveloped in
flames rushed into the street. A
passerby, jerking off his coat, wrapped
the burning man in that garment and
smothered the flames, not before the

ders, and his hands wer? so bally
cooked that the flesh dropped off. His
eyesight was also affected, but It is

WABASH WILL ISSUE TWO
HUNDRED MILLION BONDS
Toledo. O, Oct. 22.—The stockhold
ers and debenture bondholders of the
Wabash railroad, at a special meeting
in this city today, authorized the issue
of $200,000,000 of refunding four per
cent bonds and increases in the com
pany's preferred and common stocks.
The proposed increase in the com
pany's preferred stock is $16,500,000,
which will raise the preferred issue
from $24,000,000, the amount now out
standing, to $10,500,000. The conv.-.on
is to be increased by $81,500,000, which
will raise the total authorized issue of
common stock from the present figure
of $7s,000,0l), of which $38,000,000 is
outstanding, to $159,500,000.
These increases are greatly in ex
cess, especially in the case of the com
mon stock, of the amount needed lo
retire the debetures, according to the
terms agreed upon between the de
benture bondholders and tho Wabash
railroad. The increase will raise the
total authorized capital stock to $200,
000,000, which is the amount of the
Issue of refunding four per cent bonds.
This arrangement is in keeping with
the laws of some of the states through
which the Wabash passes, which re
quire that, the bonded indebtedness of
a railroad shall not exceed the amount
of the authorized capital stock.
