POPE'S DEATH REGARDED IMMINENT^ .
(Copyright 1903.)
Special Cable to The Globe and New' York Tribune. ~• ' *
ROME, July 4.—Even tonight the papal press, as well as the Vatican ,
authorities' Insist on representing the pope as merely indisposed, while it
Is known that his condition Is almost desperate. The pontiff's physical pros
tration and the weakness of his heart make It difficult to nourish him and
Impossible to use any kind of strong medicine. At the Vatican Isfound
great commotion and an agitation which is eveni pessimistic, quite contrary
to the optimistic news which appears in the press.
"The truth Is," said a cardinal coming from the pontificial apartment,
"Leo may even die tonight; not from pneumonia in Itself, but from, heart
failure or from suffocation caused by accumulation In the bronchial.tubes..
The relatives of the pope, although not allowed In the pontiff's bedroom,
will be up the whole night anxiously waiting for news. ' " ';-:i"o
ROME, July s.—An'official statement
of the true condition of the pope has
been made only to Cardinal Rr^npola,
as papal secretary of state, and Cardi
nal Oreglia' di Santo Stefano, as dean
of the Sacred College and Camerlengo.
In the latter capacity Cardinal Oreg
lia, in the event of the pope's death, will
perform an important ceremony. As
suming violet robes of mourning he will
proceed to the death room, where, while
all are kneeling, he will unveil the face
of the departed and strike the forehead
of the dead pontiff with a silver ham
mer, calling the deceased by name, and
will then solemnly announce that the
pope is really dead.
Went With Hammer Too Soon.
It Is alleged that Cardinal Oreglia
went to the Vatican, hammer in hand,
when Pope Leo was operated on for the
removal of a cyst in 1599, and that his
holiness had disliked the cardinal since
that time, showing it even last March,"
when, in answering an address of con
gratulation upon the ninety-third an
niversary of his birth, which was read

Man Fatally Stabbed at a "Skin Game" at Luverne and Officer
Mortally Shoots Another at Jamestown.
Special to The Globe. '\:*j*f£<
LUVERNE, Minn., July 4.—James
Mackie, proprietor of the Mackie bar
ber shop, was probably fatally stabbed
in the right breast this afternoon.by
one of the proprietors of a "skin" game
which was being operated here during
the celebration. The game was an old
one, commonly known as the old army
game, and was being run wide open
on a street corner. It was doing big
business, fleecing hundreds of farmer
boys who were in attending the cele
bration. . '.\: t -
Mackie had watched the game for
some time and after seeing a farmer
drop about $30, he asked the man
running it why he did not give the man
a chance for his money. Hot words
followed, and one of the men on the
outside, who was capping for the con
cern, pushed through the trowd to
Mackie and, drawing a dagger, plunged
it into his breast. He then attempted
cern, pushed through the crowd to
grabbed by bystanders and placed un
der arrest by Officer Bert Henton. The
knife entered Mackie's right breast,
penetrating a lung.
After being placed in jail, the assail
ant refused to give his name pending
his preliminary hearing, which will be
held Monday.

g CHICAGO, July 4.A summary of Independence day mishaps, reported
to the Tribune up to midnight from two-score of towns In the" Middle West,'
shows that eighteen lives were lost, ten persons fatally injured, and Innu
merable persons more or less severely Injured. In these forty towns twen
ty-five victims lost one more fingers, eighty . came off with . maimed
hands, nine with broken arms, twenty with maimed legs and sixty with
disfigured faces. • Twenty-three lost the "sight of one or both eyes. Hands
or faces were the most vulnerable points. . ;;r" :'; •
j> Some of the larger cities, notably St. Paul, Detroit, Milwaukee and
St. Louis,-report that there were fewer accidents than usual on account of
. more .stringent regulations thrown around the celebration. .Physicians are
fearful of an aftermath of deaths due to the development of tetanus. Of the
fatalities .reported from Lewlston,. one man committed suicide to escape the
noise, after remonstrating with several boys against it. One man fell from
an excursion train and another was kicked to death by a horse that was
frightened by a firecracker. .... .-
In Chicago there was only one fatality. Five others were so seriously
. hurt that they may die. The casualty list confined to those severely In
