INT Salt Lake Herald tells Of two painters,
OF Wachita, Kansas, who, together committed
one ot the most atrocious murders ever record.

respectively, and they first entered into co.
partnership, ostensibly as painters, but actual.

removed to that place. McNutt, who ia under
arrest. and has confessed the whole thing savs
after reaching Wachita they were bothered for
sometime about selecting victim, (they com.
mitted the crime for fln), so it was agreed that
Winner should 60 to Kansas city and employ a
painter with whom they were acquainted at
that place, named Sewer, to come on and work
for them. Sewer, being in circumstances Of
need. readily engaged his services to the fend

nibals resolved to kill him; though they had no
difficulty with him and looked upon him rs "
very clever, Od-hearted fellow" Thew first

and ether down his throat, then ether itself
They then placed his head in pot filled with
benzine, and set fire to it and watched it with

FIRE IN PEARL STREET.
The Loss About Se7, 900.


At fifteen minutes to eleven O'Clock last night
Of1cer Cavanagh, OF the First precinct, noticed o
man coming out OF the budding No. - Pearl street.
and at the same time observed smoke issuing
from the windows OF the same building. The
0fflcer promptly arrested the man and raped for
assistance. In moment an alarm was sent out,
and in less time than 1t takes to write 1t
several engines were at work, throwing huge
streams OF water into the burning build
ing. Owing to the innammable nature OF
the stock stored In the nullding gunny
and grain bags-the flames spread rapidly and,
despite the Efforts Of the nremen, gained footing
on the second, third ana fourth floors. A second
alarm was sent out, and this brought additional
apparatus with which the Ore was confined to
the Dullclng.
The man whom Onlcer Cavanagh arrested
proved to be James Gill. the porter OF the esrao-
llshment He was very much under the influence
OF liquor and could give no intelligent account or
his presence In the building at so late hour Of
the night. He Is charged With having set f-e to
the place and will have hearing To-Day.
The loss on STOCK Will amount to between 500, 900
ana $4,000, while that on tn building will be
about $4,000. The amount oil insurance could not
be ascertatned last night.
