FIGHT WITH A BULL.

Harvey B. Ramsey, a well-known
Bedding farmer, had’ a terrible conflict
with a'n'infuriated bull on his farm,
Friday morning about ,11 o’clock,
and it is feared received injuries which
will result fatally.

Mr. Rumsey attempted to drive the
beast across a pasture lot into the barn
yard. The beast was evidently in an
1121.? mood, and the farmer’s son, Louis
C. Rumsey, cautioned him to be carc-
uI. The bull had turned upon the old
man once before and he had narrowly
'80 mod serious inj ’ll‘lefl.

Y The farmer believed he could ma n-
use the beast and slatted to conquer
the animal. Suddenly the bull turned
upon the farmer and before he could
defend himself had tossed him into the
air. ,

Mr. Honey’s son witnessed the af—
rav and hastened to his father’s rescue.
'el'ore he reached the scene the bull,
uniting about snorting and bellown-n
with anger, had gored and tossed the
unconscious. form of his father several
imes.

The beast undoubtedly would have
I: ept up the furious ouslaughts until he
ad killed the farmer outrieh’, had the
'on not been til-.1 to beat the animal

in" by belaboring him over the head
ith a club. ..

As it was the young man had several
arrow escapes for his own personal
alety. The animal was finally sub-
tied and the farmer was removed to
he house.

Doctors Smith and Reed,of Bedding,
ere summoned and later Dr. Stratton,
f Danbury. An examination was
.. ads and it was found that nearly all
f the ribs were broken from the breast

one and that some of them had been
then into the lungs. The collar bone
as fractured as was also the skull.

There is but very little h0pe ex-
ressed for the injured man. ‘

New York, April 20,—An old time war-
fare was witnessed in the wheat pit on
the New York Produce Exchange today.
The news of the actual beginning of
war between Greece and Turkey gave
a fright to the. operators who have been
recently trading on the bear side of the
market.

Bear buying was re-enforced by or-
ders to buy from Europe. The grain
markets there were still closed because
of the Easter, holidays. The New York
and Chicago'grain market opened at
10:30 o’clock, New Yorkf't’ime. Before
then the local' operators received the
news from Chicago that on the curb the
price of May wheat had reached 78 cents
a bushel, as against 783/, rents, the offi-
cial close on Saturday, a clean cut ad—
vance of 41,4 cents. Curb trading here
was affected by the news at. Chicago,
and bids were made for May wheat at
83ycents against 77% cents, the official
close at noon on Saturday. The latter
price was not the highest recorded for
Saturday, for on the curb that day the
price touched 79% cents on the news
from the Chicago market, where the
closing on Saturday is one hour later
than here.

A great shout went up at 10:30 o’clock
when the gong proclaimed the official
beginning of business at the Produce
Exchange. The scene in the pit was an
exciting one.

The brokers yelled their orders to buy
with different prices recorded simulta-
neously at different points in the pit.
The big dial underneath the visitors’
gallery which shows the course of the
active May future spun round from 77%
cents, where it had rested at the close
on Saturday, to 82% cents, and then,
after hesitating a moment, went far-
ther, to 83% cents, or an advance of 5%
cents over Saturday’s official close.
There were further nervous fractional
fluctuations for the next few minutes.
By 10:40'0’clock the price was 83% cents,
or 6% cents over Saturday’s official
close and 4% cents over the curb close
of the same day.

The gallery was filled with spectators
to witness the opening. Business on
other parts of the floor was practically
suspended, and the flour and provision
men ceased operations to watch the
wheat dial.

II III ADMITS GUILT.
Arrested, In Montreal, He Confesses to
Great Falls Robbery.

ooncssunn IN MURDER Too.

Prisoner Informed Detectives Where He
Had Concealed His Plunder In the
\Voods—Arrest Brought About
by His Own Stupidity.

Montreal, April 21.—Joscph E. Kelley,
who is under arrest here for the mur-
der of Cashier Stickney of the Somers-
worth (N. H.) bank and the looting of
the bank, was still in a. comfortable
frame of mind today when he was tak-

envout of the dark cell in which he had‘

been made to spend the night. He has
as yet engaged no lawyer, but he inti-
mated today that he would not fight
extradition, but would of his own ac-
cord return to the United States to
stand trial for his crime. He has made
no effort to deny his identity or his
guilt.

Chief Detective Carpenter and other
officers left here today for St. Clett’s.
The place is about 35 miles from here.

Kelley admitted to Chief Detective
Carpenter at an early hour today that
he-had buried at large sum of money,
taken from the bank, in the woods near
St. Clett’s. He told the detectives the
exact spot where they could find the
money.

The arrest of Kelley, which was ac-
complished at midnight last night, was
due to his own stupidity. He went to
a notorious house here disguised as a.
woman. He had not been in the place
more than five minutes when he tore
off his disguise, consisting of a woman’s
hat and gown, and stood before those
in the house in male attire. His dis-
guise was very clever, and his actions
created a great deal of amusement. He
then showed a. large roll of bills and
spent his money freely. Finally he told
the people in the place who he was. The
police were notified, and Kelley was ar—
rested. ..

The fellow took his arrest coolly. He
admitted his identity at once and con—
fessed that he had robbed the bank and

had had a. hand in the killing of Mr.’

Stickney, the cashier. He told the po-
lice some Wild tale of a. mysterious
stranger who had met him near the
bank and had gone with him when the
robbery and murder were committed.
The mysterious one took the greater
part of the booty and left for parts un-
known. This, at least, was the tale he
told last night. Today he made no
mention of the mysterious stranger.
Had Lots of Money.

When searched after his arrest $2,750
in bills was found in Kelley’s posses-
sion. He today told where the rest of
the $4,100 taken from the bank was to
be found. .1

The crime of which Kelley is the self-
confessed perpetrator is one of the most
sensational or the day. Cashier Stick-
ney of the Somersworth (N. H.) bank
was found‘shortly after noon on April
16 lying dead in the bank. His throat
had been cut from ear to ear. About
were evidences of the fearful struggle
that had taken place before the old
man—he was nearly 60—.hud given in
to the robber or robbers.

Every penny that was in the bank,
$4,100. held been taken, as well as about
There
was no clew to the murderer and rob-
ber. Posses were organized and a'most
thorough search of the surrounding
country was made. but to no purpose.
On the following day it was remarked
that Joseph E. Kelley, a man who had
been doing odd jobs about the town.
was missing. and a hunt was made for
him. He would not have. been found if
he had been able to keep away from
drink.

Joy at Hoiiicrswoi-th.

Somersworth. )3. l-l.. April 21.—City
Marshal Eaton received a telegram
from Montreal at 2:30 o’clock this

morning stating that Kelley had been
captured in Montreal. The arrest has
caused great satisfaction. The reward
for his capture would have been in—
creased to $5.000 today. Kelley will be
brought to the Dover jail.

debtedness, and shortly after shut

Ivory’s Claim Against England.

Washington, April 21,—Edward J.
Ivory’s claim for $100,000 damages
against the British government will
not be pressed by the state department.
There is no denial that he was arrested
and imprisoned and then dismissed be—
cause the British authorities had no
claim, but Secretary Sherman will hold
that Ivory had every legal opportunity
given to him to prove his innocence,
and that therefore he has no good case.
