rick Campbell, the company’s paymas
ter, lies perhaps fatally wounded ul the
Altoona hospital, as the result of a
brutal holdup and murder On the town
ship road leading from Portage this
bounty, to the mining town of Puritan,
; at about 10:15 o’clock this morning.
The two were in a buggy taking a
satchel contalnlngtl about’ 53,000 with
which to pay the coal company’s em
ployes at Puritan from the Adams ex-
pressofflce at Portage to the coal town,
v. hen at a point about three-quarters
of a mile out of Portage they were sud
denly fired upon by three men armed
wtlh shot guns. Hays fell to the bot
tom of the buggy, pierced by 37 buck
shot wounds in his neck and breast and
died about half an hour later. Camp
bell was hit in the shoulder and fell
• from the buggy.
The highwaymen came out from their

o’clock this morning and ate breakfast
at the Portage house. At 9 o’clock they
went to the office of the Adams Ex
press Company where they obtained
: about $3,000 In gold and bills which
they placed In a small leather satchel.
Armed with 48-callbrc revolvers as a
• protection against possible robbers they
, got Into their buggy and drove out the
township road. This was the last seen
. of them before the shooting took place.
. About ten minutes after their depart-
1 vre Wm. Helsel, a farmer, who lives
four miles from Portage, started for
f home In a spring wagon over thi-aame
, road which the paymaster and his dri
ver had taken. Three quarters of a mile
• from town where the road Is flanked
by woods he suddenly came upon the
body of a man apparently writhing In
death agony In the middle of the road.
Getting down from his wagon he dis
covered the wounded man to be Mr.
Campbell. The latter was drenched
with blood which was flowing from a
wound In the right shoulder. Although
in dreadful agony Campbell wuh still
conscious and managed to whisper to
Helsel that he and his driver had been
fired upon by robbers, that he. dizzy
from his wounds, had fallen from the
Luggy. which had gone on. Helsel
. Blanched the man’s wnutvls as best ho
could with a handkerchief and a bit of
I linen ripped from his coat, lifted him
into the wagon and started out on the
road in search of the team and the dri
ver. He had not gone fifty yeards when
ho came upon the paymaster’s buggy
ntandhig at the side of the roqd. The
horse, unharmed, nibbling the gruss.
Coming up opposite the vehicle he
found the form of the driver, Ilnys, ly
ing motionless and bloody across the
bottom of the buggy. ,
Investigation showed the man’s body
from the base of the abdomen to the
neck a mass of gun shot wounds, show.
Ing red and ghastly through a great
rent In the clothing, made by the heavy
shot. He seemed to be dead. Helsel
tried to lift the prostrate form into his
wagon with Campbell, but could not.
Hays weighing 190 pounds. As no help
nearer than Portage Helsel turned his
team about and drove at a gnllop back
to this place, his now unconscious pa
tient lying In the bottom of the wagon.
Ho drove directly to the office of Dr.
J. A. Schofll«\ In whose charge
Campbell was /placed, secured assist
ance and went back for Hays. The
body of the driver was taken to T
tage, where physicians discovered that
although Hays was unconscious, life
was not quite extinct. He was wound
ed beyond recovery, however, and died
within ten minutes after being brought
Into the office.
Meaqwhllo Paymaster Campbell who
was still in the office of the doctor,
had regained consciousness, and v
nble to give an brief whispered nccot
of the holdup to Dr. Schofield a
landlord Yeckley, of the Port.-!
house, who was helping the physic!
He said that nothing unusual or st
plcious had occurred during the ride
from Portage to the place where the
shooting took place. He and Hays
bad the money satchel ip the seat
between them. Hays was driving vdth
both hands, while Cambpell had one
hand on the satchel and the other in
his left pocket where he kept his re
volver. This, it is said, was thelrusual
inode of procedure on trips of' this
kind. About the hold-up itself he
could tell but little.
There was a suddenly blinding flash
from the woods to the right of the
road. He felt a sharp pain In his right
shoulder, and becoming suddenly dizzy,
found himself falling from his seat
out over the left side of the buggy.
He struck the ground Just In front of
the rear wheel, which passed over him.
Kven though only semiconscious at the
time, he said he remembered seeing
three men run out of the woods, ap
proach the buggy, and then scurry
away again. He could give no desolrp-
t(on of the men. except to say he
thought they were Italians.
After his wounds had been tempor
arily dressed. Campbell. was conveyed
by train to Altoona, where he was ad
mitted to the city hospital. Campbell
Is 37 years old and married. His con
dition Is critical. Hays was 49 years
old and unmarried. Both were old
and trusted employees of the coal com
pany, and live rear the mines In Puri
tan. Hews of the tragedy spread like
wild fire through Portage, and In a
quarter of an hour hundreds of people
were streaming over the road towards
the scene of murder, armed with guns
and revolvers. The searching party
had hut little to work on, as there are
said to have been not even foot marks
to show where the men had stood while
who was seen attempting to beard a
freight train cast-bound through town.
The fellow, who is said to be an Eng-
lishmnn, was carrying a gun at the time
of his capture, and made such muddled
answers to questions put to him by the
officers that It was thought for a time
he must bo one of the highwaymen. It
later developed that there is but little
evidence against him. As far ns could
be learned he Is a harmless tramp.
Seven Italians were taken Into custody
at Wilmore on susplclcon early this af
ternoon. v Two of them had been seen
about 2 o’clock running through the
fields from the direction of Portage
toward the settlement of foreigners nt
Wilmore. The officers were notified
and the two were located at 2:30 in an
Italian boarding house. A search of
the premises revealed articles evidently
stolen from the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and this convinced the offi
cers that they had landed two thieves
if not the perpetrators of the Portage
murder. Questioning brought out the
fact that at least seven of the men had
been out of work, having gone overland
to Wilmore after being discharged by
the Pennsylvania railroad at Cone-
maugh. On this Information the offi
cers arreted five more of the Italians,
making a total of seven. Another
search of the hous disclosed a lavender
slough hat such as Paymaster Camp
bell Is said to have worn this morning.
This is the strongest bit of evidence
against the suspects.

Judge Cann’s Temporary Injunction
Mado Permanent—Mrs. Creighton
Succeeds in Stopping D. E. Currie's
Attentions to Her Daughter.
SAVANNAH, Ga., July 30.—Judge

telephoning or in any way communi
cating with, either by signals, winks or
whistling. Celeste Creighton, a 15-year
old girl, whom Currie Is charged
kidnaping. Affidavits were submitted
showing Currie had sent money to Ce
leste* In Atlanta to return here against
mother’s wishes and that ho had
furnished her money to pay her board
here while she wus hiding from her
mother.
Counsel for Currie argued that while
affidavits showed these things had been
done In the past, It was not shown that
Currie Intended to continue his atten
tlons to the girl and that the injunc
tion could not be granted against past
acts.
Lawyers for Mrs. Eva Creighton,
mother of Celeste, submitted the caso
without argument and the Judge at
once granted a permanent injunction.
Judge Cann stated the Injunction
would hold until the girl Is of age
until dissolved by a court of equity In
a regulnr way. Though Currie has been
in love with the girl and asked her to
marry him, he haw not been seen speak
ing to her at all since the temporary
Injunction was granted. At the hear
ings that have been had he has gazed
nt Celeste but did not so much as smile
b# cause of the court’s restraining or
der.
The grand Jury today indicted Currie
fer kidnaping. The case will bo tried
Monday week.

LONDON, July 30.—r-The Associated
Press learns that Mrs. Florence May-

plans for her American trip In conse-
uence of nervous prostration, from
hlch she has suffered since her re
lease. It is not likely that Mrs. May-
brick will be able.to start before the
nd of August, if then. She has been
ordered perfect rest, and is in no condi
tion yet to personally acknowledge the
ery many letters and telegrams of con-
ratulfttlons which have been grently
ppreciated. Her f mother’s house nt
iouen. France, is literally besieged by
eporters who, In behalf of the London
towspnpers patrol! the neighborhood,
catch the house dnv and night, at
tempt to scab* the high walls of the

Into the grounds. The nuisance has be-
■ so great the police have been re

KUCHIATZU, Manchuria, (nbout 30
miles southeast of Lino Yang), July 28.
(Delayed in transmission.)—As a great
battle appears Imminent a survey of
positions of the two armies will be In
teresting. The mnln bodies of the Rus
and Japanese nre very near each
ether. They now form, in the north,
more powerful array than nt any pre
vious time. Virtually, however, the
iame condldltnos prevail north of Hal
cheng as previously reported. The Rus
sians are holding the Inshultnns Chlut
sal Ynn, Plen and Kunnchla passes.
The latter is three miles east of here.
lew of the fact that serious fight
ing is anticipated In the nenr future,
tiie Chinese have begun to disappear
from between the lines and to brick up
their houses, though heretofore they
have not vacated their property except
In the Immldate firing zone, between
the pickets. A mile and a half east of
Kunnchla pass the Associated Press
•rrespondent accidentally crossed tho
me of the Japanese fire nnd was fully
*enty minutes crossing the bed of th
Shi river, under fire evidently from
Yuhunngkno temple, on the east side of
the river nnd in plnln view of the Rus
s»an pickets. The Japanese line extend
south nnd Is apparently of great
strength, with trenches and breast
works. It approaches within a mile
Lien pass and along tho Shi river to
Slpon pass and thence to Ilolynn, fac

encouraging their men. The Russians,
from equally fine positions, are mak
Ing offensive demonstrations of inten

The first ascent of a Russian mlllta
ry bnlloon occurred yesterday evening,
and ngainst the flaming sunset,
balloon was visible to the entire Jap
anese army around Mntlen pass. The
bnlloon caused much amazement
among tho Chinese. Japanese continue
to march across the upper part of Ta-
Itre river, towards Mukden, by way of
Penslhu, protecting their left flank
from Kurhlntxo nnd Kunnrhlm pass.
The Russians are making n demon
stration in large force before Plen pass

detachment of cossacks which at

Tuesday for tho purposo of Bcurlng

When tho hour for the Jury to

CHICAGO, July 30.—The conflict he
reon capital and unionism which has
been going on In the packing trade In
dustry throughout the country for
rly three weeks shows no sign of
abatement. Tonight both of the oppos
ing interests seemed us determined oh
ever on a fight to a finish and the in
dications are that the struggle will bo
continued until one side or the other
mokes complete surrender. The pack-
eis tonight declare that they have prac
tically won their fight and that tho
strikers nre becoming demoralized. In
direct opposition to this statement of
the employers, tho strike leaders assert
that tho victory Is with the workemn
end that it will ibo a matter of but n
short time until the packers will be
compelled to ask for peace.
Loaders of four of the allied trades
unions which went on strike In sympa
thy with the packing house butchers
are said by the packers to havo made
overtures today for reinstatement. Ac
cording to tho packers, the emissaries
from these four skilled trades sought
to learn upon what terms tlje strikers
would be reinstated, should they re
turn In a body. The answer the packers
say they gave to these peace missiona
ries was that the strikers would be re-
cmployed ns fast os conditions might
warrant, but only n« Individuals and
not as members of any ulnlon.*
The strike leaders disclaimed any
knowledge whatever of tho action tak
en by the four unions, and repented
their assertions that the outlook for
Ictory for the striking workmen wns
lore satisfactory than ever. During the
fternoon there wns nn attempt on the
