Number 101. ini9 MM TAKES A URGE RING SMUGGLING A BLOCK OF STOCK Wife and Children Are Named As Executors of Document Dated 1893 IS ALLEGED BY COLLECTOR DAVIS servants employed at my residence. VICTORY FDR SI1ERBROOKE, Quebec, Aug. 30. The court ruled today in the matter of the application of Harry K.

Thaw for release from custody that the application was entirely regular and the court had no option but to grant it. On the application of Chief of Police John Boudrenu Judge Hutchinson issued a writ for Thaw's production in court Tuesday next, to show cause why he should not be released. The few days' delay gives Thaw's lawyers a chance to fight his liberation at the present time. The Thaw adherents bitterly criticise Chief of Police Bou-dreau, asserting that he aided the New Yorkers because he was promised 000 reward for Thaw's return to Mat- teawan. The New York representatives had hoped for Thaw's immediate release and hnd an automobile waiting to rush him to a point where he would at once be sent across the border.

ACT SAVES LIVES MAUYSVILLE, Aug. 30 A woman's nerve probably saved the lives of nearly a dozen passengers on the Camptonvllle stage yesterday after noon. The driver, Lawrence Conger, had left his place to attend to loading some freight and had twisted the lines around the brake.

The four horses were somewhat restless, bo that the driver watched them closely, but suddenly one of the leaders took fright and with a sudden lunge started the entire team. Conger Jumped for the reins and managed to catch one of the lead lines, but It was torn from his grasp and the team went flying up the street with the stage swaying dangerously behind them. Among the passengers were Mrs. Onstott of the mining camp of Alle ghany, and her daughter. Mrs.

On stott, who occupied the middle seat, climbed over into the driver's place in spite of the rocking of the stage and seized the reins of the frightened horses, which by this time had reached high speed. Bracing herself she threw on the brake and tugged on the lines with all her strength. In two minutes the battle was won and willing hands came to the aid of the plucky woman.
