Bonnot, the Paris motor bandit, puj up a game fight to a finish against the police and soldiers the other day. So. too, did the anarchist murderers trapped in the burning house'in Sydney street, just over months ago.

Fully as grim and more picturesque was the battle waged in Wyoming some little time back under similar circumstances by Nate Champion and Nick Ray. Champion and Ray were professional cattle thieves, with several murders to their credit. They fortified a cabin in the "bad lands' of Wyoming and dared all comers. The nev. a traveled back to the Eastern States, and a number of young Harvard graduates and multi-millionaires' sons thought It would be good sport' to organize a party to go and capture or kill the desperadoes.

The graduates chartered a special train from Chicago to Wyoming, and the "two cattle thieves were taken completely by surprise. Ray being shot and mortally wounded when he showed himself at the cabin door at daybreak. In answer to a summons. He was dragged inside, however, by Cnamplon, who then settled himself down for a siege. The attacking party, who numbered about 40, were splendidly armed, and triey fired thousands of rounds into the stronghold of the outlaws, but without doing any further damage.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Champion walked out into the open holding aloft a white handkerchief tied to a stick. "Say, you fellers!" "he shouted "I'm going to the well to git water fer my pard. He's most done for and orful bad. You kin shoot me Ifijipu like and be darned ter yer!" Hjease fire!" commanded: the leader of the graduates, and Champion passed safely across the open to the well and back again. An hour later the besiegers tried to rush the cabin.

But Champion shot two of them dead and wounded three others. Then they set fire to the place and riddled Cnampion wiw. bullets as he ran out. -meanwhile, however, some hundreds of angry men, among whom were many ex-cattle thieves, had come flocking to the scene, and the graduates were attacked In their turn. They occupied a neighboring ranch, and held It gallantly, out tney would all have been killed but for the opportune arrival of a-body of United States cavalry, who raised th.s second siege, and took the graduates into custody.

They sutfered no punishment however, public opinion being all on their side. As in the case of Bonnot, of Paris, dynamite was used effectively so recently as last November In Lodz, an importar.c manufacturing town in Rus. sian Poland. A desperate anarchist named Banaslak was trapped in a house and completely surrounded. The chief of police summoned him to surrender.

Banasiak replied that he would never be captured alive, but would fight until the end. keeping his last cartridge for This was between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Troops were called out, and a regular siege began, which lasted 40 hours. Banasiak fired repeatedly on his assailants, and after several policemen had been hit, two machine guns were brought up, and the house was riddled. When the order "Cease fire" was given no one Imagined that the bandit could possibly have survived, and, sev eral policemen incautiouely Tan forward to try and efiect an entrance.

Butthe foremost of them fell dead with bulletin his brain; and the rest scattered to cover. In, the end the house -was blown up, and Banasiak was found anionic the ruins stone dead, uut still grasping a revolver in one hand I and a Mauser pistol in the other. Pearson's Weekly.

In an. article in the June American Magazine entitled "Our Next President and Some Others," the author, Ray Stannard Baker, presents the following facts: "It Is. interesting to know that every one of the seven candidates, even Including Roosevelt, has been admitted to the bar, and five of them have had successful careers In the law. Two have been Judges. No one of them Is a business man, and no one, save Mr Harmon, has had any considerable experience with business affairs, either large or small.

No one of them Is a rich man, and though several of them, by virtue of their high talents, have been able at times to earn large they have all been hard workers. Two or three of them have been relatively poor men all their lives, living frugally and devoting themselves unreservedly to public work. of these candidates, save Wilson, have had long experience In public office, and in dealing with public men and public questions. While most of them can be called able politicians, no one of them belongs to that extreme type knowrTas a machine politician: a boss. There is to the credit of every one of them not a little sound public service.

"All of the 'even, save possibly Harmon, are at the very prime of life for national leadership. These are their ages: Underwood. 50 years old; Roosevelt, 54 years old; Taft, 55 years old; Wilson. 56 years old; La Follette, 57 years old; Clark, 62 years old; Harmon, 66 years old. "It is also of curious rather than of Important interest that most of the even were born in states which have long been fertile In the production of presidents and presidential candidates.

Wilson was born In Virginia, Clark and Underwood In Kentucky, Taft and Harmon in Ohio, and Roosevelt in 1 New York. Only one candidate, La Follette, comes from what may be called a new presidential state." Collfxe Haseball. At Wllllamstown Mass. Williams, Amherst. 2.

BRITISH BOOKMAKERS. Individuals Who Win and. Lose Millions on the Annual Derby. "It only fools as backs 'osses," Robert RIdsdale used to say; "the bookies the wise man as pockets their money." And no one knows better what he was talking about thar the famous who lived to make 47,000 over St. and to drive behind a pair of high-stepping horses past the Doncaster inn in which, as a young man, he played the lowly role of "boots." That he ended his days In a Newmarket hay loft was his own fault, and not that of the "'profession" that had made a.

rich man of him. Ridsdale's partner. John Gully, was a man of very different mettle, who knew how to keep the gold that poured into his coffers. A butcher and pugilist In his younger days, who had seen the Inside of prison walls, the "Game Chicken" las he was known to fame for his prowess with his fists, was the 1ookraaking world long before had reached his forties. Over the race he netted he cleared 45,000 when Gargrave won the Leger; he invested his riches in broau acres and coal mines, found a seat at Westminster, and when he died at the age of TS, left nearly 1,000,000 behind him.

And the same story of easily won wealth is told of doxens of John Gully's fellow bookmakers, many of whom climbed the ladder of riches from Its lowest rur.gs. Joe Bland was. a. post boy when he made his first modest book, "for stiver money, Bickham was a stableman; Fred i Swindell was, it is said, a potman when he pocketed 100 on Charles XII. in the Liverpool cup and so a through the long list of the wlse men" who have found the laying of odds such profitable Da vies, whose colossal book making was the wonder of the Turf world in the first halt, of the last century, was a carpenter when Atilla's Derby put 100 Into his purse.

Under a cloudless ssy, thousands of enthusiasts from all over the country assembled today at the Indianapolis speedway for the greatest event of the automobile world the second annual running of the American 500-mile sweepstakes.

At daylight began the exodus from the city to Speedway Park by train, trolley and tourjjig cars. Soon the grand stands on the outer edge and the parking space on tbe inner circuit of the brick oval were filled with enormous crowds. They came to see 24 of the most famous drivers and cars battle for honor and fortune in the greatest race of moordom. The course, washed clean of Its black and dangerous coat of grease accumulated duiing weeks of practice grind, glistened in the sunlight when the big motors pulled out along the repair pits, swarming with mechanicians. llar-roun and his Marmon last year did the distance in 6:42:08, and every pilot today was determined to cut, this mark In his effort to come in.

oathe $20,000 offered for the winner of the race. A crowd estimated at 75,000 cheered as the drivers swept out on the track for the brake test. Women standing in the boxes and in the hundreds of cars parked in the infield, their modish motors daubed with tne dirt of the oiled boulevards leading to the speedway, waved tfieir veils in greeting to the begoggled pilots and mechanicians who were soon to risk their lives for the glory of the racing automobile. Off at 10 O'clock. With an explosive roar of the enormous engines especially built for this ultimate test of speed and endurance the cars came together at the electric timing wire at 9:50.

In a tumult of cheering. Starter Wagner let the cars go at 10 o'clock. The cars made one slow parade lap and again to the wire, leaped into tne race, pressing together in a blinding cloud of burned gas; World's records went down throughout the first 100 miles. De Palma, leading, set a new mark of 1:13:01 over Teztlafrs record of 1:14:29. Joe Dawson, in a National, pounded into second place, and Wishart took third.

Bruce-Brown withdrew his National, and Harry Knight his Lexington because of engine trouble. Tire trouble overtook De Palma's Mercedes in the ISOth mile and he stopped for a change, but at the 200th mile he kept his lead and had set a the same year; while, in spite of the fact that Teddington's Derby cost him 100,000, he ended the year more than this sum to the good. And such giants as Gully and Davles have had their successors In more recent days, ii men like Mr. Dunn and Mr. Fry, the latter of whom died quite recently at Norwood.

When. Mr. Fry's attention was first drawn to the possibilities of bookmaking as a road to fortune, he was a linendraper at Liverpool, who knew as little of horse-racing as the man in the moon. One day he was asked by a bookmaker, who had got Into difficulties, for a loan on the understanding that" he should receive a share in the profits of the book. These came as regularly as clockwork, and so satisfied Mr.

Fry that there was money In the busings that he put up his shutters and started on his own account with a capital of 840, which." he says, I never had occasion to supplement." Commencing in a modest way at Ascot, where he lost 19 on the week, success came so quickly that he was soon laying bets in thousands of pounds and was making more money In a year than his shop would have yielded in a lifetime. On two successive Cambridge he lot 80,003. but he could afford to smile at such misfortune for his double loss wa more than recouped by a solitary Derby. So enormous was the srale of his transactions that, when he died, there was owing to hint considerably over 900.000. or more than a the-jsand times'the capital with which he opaed his first book.

Frayer withdrew his Firestone-Columbus because of gear trouble.

Anderston's Stutz blew a tire in his eightieth lap and the car switched completely around. Anderson and his mechanician held their seats. The car was taken off the track. The Case No. 6, driven by Whallon, relieving Herrick, broke a crank Ehaft and was withdrawn.

Drivers Grow Tired. Drivers began to weary of the long grind. Tetzlaff was replaced by Caleb Bragg, and Don Herz replaced Joe Dawson in the National No. 8 In the 108th lap. Harry Kndioott replaced his brother, "Farmer Bill," in the Schacht.

National. No. 8 went Into second and Burman's Cutting was running third at 300 miles. Fiat No. 3 was forced back to fourth place by a stop, at De Palma was about three laps ahead of National No.

8 at 330 miles, his time being 4:19:35 2:55 better than last year's time. National No. 8 still held second, but Fiat No. 3 had forged back in to third place. Stutz 28 was fourth.

De Palma had increased his lead to four laps when he completed his 400th mile in 4:36:24 26:41 better than Har- roun made it. National No. 8 was sec-and and Fiat No. 3, third. De Talma's average was 80.9.

Tetzlaff went back into his Fiat. De Palma's time for 475 miles was 5:58:15. Behind the National was Tetz-laff's Fiat and then Mercer. Then came De Palma's engine trouble and Dawson came to the wire a winner. Ing crossed a small bar In pursuit of a school of fish.
