Hutte, Mont., July 3. In a battle with an assassin here thin afternoon, Mayor Lewis J. Duncan was seriously stabbed, but he shot and probably fatally wounded his assailant. 1'nric I.antala, a miner, is the man who attempted to kill the Mayor, He thrust a dirk into Mayor Duncan's body three times and would have suc ceeded in killing him if Mr. Duncan had not got possession of a revolver. The bullet fired by the mayor en tered I.antata's abdomen, and punc tured the liver. Mayor Duncan's injuries consist of a stab wound in the right side of the neck, which narrowly missed the jugular vein. He received another wound in the left side of the neck and another in the left shoulder. Mayor Duncan is a Socialist. The attempt made on his life is the out growth is the fight between a set of miners, who have been trying to force the mayor to deport Frank Altonen, formerly an organizer in Michigan, for the Westirn Federa tion, and now a correspondent for a labor paper at Hancock, Mont. At a mass meeting yesterday the miners passed a resolution calling upon Mayor Duncan to deport Al tonen on the grounds that he was a menace to the community. When a delegation waited upon the Mayor he told them he was without authori ty or order a deportation. Lantala had been arrested on a charge of assaulting Oscar Kattuare, friend of Altonen. When brought before Judge Hochcr the prisoner pleaded inability to understand Eng lish, and the Court ordered him sent to jail "to study English." He was released today when he learned that Mayor Duncan had re fused to deport Altonen, he walked to the mayor's oflice. He isa giant in Ntature while the mayor is a small nan. He crowded Duncan into a corner of his oflice and demanded loudly: "How about Frank Altonen. He is making a lot of trouble." She Chokes Thief To Death in Room Intruder, Knocked Down by Illinois Husband, is Dis patched by Member of the Weaker Sex. Yorkville, 111., July 3. A dramatic story of a fight to the death in the dark with a masked robber who in vaded their home was told her today by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Grimwood, who live on a farm two miles east of here. The robber died as she was throt tling him, Mrs. Grimwood said, after he had been thrown to the floor by her husbnud. She is a large and powerful woman, although 65 years old. The robber, apparently about 55, smooth-shaven and wearing a new suit of clothes had a receipt in his pocket from a Chicago firm for the clothes. The receipt bore the name William Davis. Slips showing appa rent profit of between $5000 and JrtOOO were also found on the robber. The police believe the clothing and papers were stolen. Heforc Mrs. Grimwood got into the fight, her husband and the robber the farmer armed with a club he kept in his room and the robber with an ice pick circled around in the dark, feeling for each other, lung ing and striking. Their heavy breath ing was all that guided their blows as they groped for each other. Now and then Grimwood got home a blow with his club and the robber reached the farmer with the ice pick several times. At length one of Grimwood's swings struck the robber's head and he fell. Mrs. Grimwood, who had been awakened by rushing of feet, leaped upon the robber, seizing him by the throat. She chocked him while her husband got up, struck a light ond went after a rope to bind the man. The robber died as her husband came back, she said. GHOST IS ONLY SLEEP WALKER Boy Clad in Nighties, in Midnight Promenade, Scares Natives SOME WITNESSES FLEE Bravest Ones of Crowd Take Chance and Chase Ned Stewart to Bay Sunday night at about 10:30 o'clock, a ghost-like apparition, clad in white, flitting about with noise less tread, presenting a most weird and awe-inspiring appei.rance as it darted across vacant lots, up dark alleys and through desolate sections, made itself known to a number of residents in the neighborhood of 000 South Kenton street, with weird effect. . Some started in pursuit, and others took the opposite direction. All were puzzled as to its origin, and some of the more daring undertook to solve the mystery. A number of excited citizens had assembled on the Jefferson sohool grounds, and while trying to arrive at what would be the proper move to make, Ned Stewart made his ap pearance and explained to the dazed gathering that his son, Jack, a lad of about fourteen years, was pulling off a somnambulistic stunt, and had gotten out of his bed and left his parental roof while still in a state of slumber. It seems that the youngster had made his escape noiselessly and his parents had no knowledge of his actions until Mr. Stewart who was sleeping by an open window saw the lad just as he was passing out the gate. He dressed hurriedly and started in pursuit but before ho had gained the open, the boy was out of sight. The crowd joined in the hunt, and soon struck a hot trail. He was followed over hills and through gul Icys almost impassable. Hack yards and dark alleys were traversed in pur suit of the unconscious youngsters who seemed to be making his way fearlessly und aimlessly all through the western section of the city. New members joined the throng of searchers in every block, and when at last the prodigal was tracked to the home of his grandfather, John Wallace at 511 S. Sprigg street more than 100 people had assembled. Mr. Wallace stated that the boy had reached his home at about 1 1 o'c lock, and had made his appearance first known by fumbling at the door knob. When Mr. Wal lace called out "Who's there." the boy awakened, and was a badly frightened young man. He could not explain his appearance and was afraid to venture back homo at that hour of the night He was taken in and tucked in bed, and when the searching party headed by Mr. Stewart made its ap pearance, the boy was sleeping sound- ly. It was concluded to let him rest, the crowd dispersed and Mr. Stewart hastened home to apprise his wife of the son's safety and relieve her of the anxiety and worry she was en during as a result of the lad's dis appearance. NEGRO FIRES AT VINCENT. Frisco Agent Fights Bloodless Duel With Black in Yards. J. E. Vincent, special agent for the F'risco, was fired upon by an unidentified negro yesterday at about one-o'clock a. m., while looking through the railroad yards in the South end of the city. Mr. Vincent and a special agent for the Cotton Belt had spent the greater portion of the night in look ing for a negro fugitive who they have reason to believe is hidingsomc where in this vicinity. While making their search this morning they came upon a man lying on the river bank, and as Mr. Vincent turned his light on him, he was fired at from the weeds a few feet behind him. Mr. Vincent returned the fire but missed his mark, and the fugitive whom he describes as being a tall, black negro, wearing a white shirt, a black slouch hat and dark pants, made his escape and disappeared in the darkness. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Harney who have been visiting for the past several days with the family of Dr, R. E. Cunningham, left Wednesday for Clarksville, Tenn., where they will make their home in the future. ENCAMPMENT TO OPEN JULY 12 Sixth Regiment Will Not Be Here But One Batallion is Coming The encampment of the First Regiment, to open in this city on July 12 and extend to July 19, has been positively decided upon by the army authorities, and it has hi so been definitely arranged for one battalion of the Sixth to participate. However, the request thut the en tire Sixth regiment be included, has been denied. Secretary A. II. Ilinflhey, of the Commercial Club is in receipt of a letter from Gen. II. C. Clark of Nevada, saying that they certainly appreciated the invitation of the Cape Girardeau Commercial Club, extended to the First Regiment and the Sixth, but owing to the report of the War Department after the last inspection, some of the companies of the Sixth had been mustered out, and consequently the regiment was not strong enough numerically to hold an encampment as a regiment. He stated, however, that arrange ments would be made to have a battalion of the Sixth, composed of companies from Poplar Rluff, Ca ruihersville, and Fredericktown, to come and participate in the encamp ment with the First Regiment. Lietrtenant-Colonel Mabrey of Jack son, who is in command of the Sixth Regiment, is doing all possible to get it into its old time strength as rapidly as possible.

Niekx Fulbright, a young man living with his step father, Herbert Wickham, at 533 Maple street, met with an accident last Thursday at about one o'clock in the afternoon when he attempted to board an in coming passenger train. He was thrown to the ground and severely injured. At first it was thought that he had sustained a broken ankle. The doctor's examina tion, however, disclosed the fact that it was a serious sprain. The accident occurred in the Frisco yards near the store room. Mr. Fulbright is employed as a machinist helper, and this is the second accident that he has suffered within the last, month. A few weeks ago while endeavoring to remove a cylinder head he fell and broke his arm, and it was only recently that his condition would per mit of his resuming his labors.
