cAPTuREp At LAST.
Arrest of the St. Elmo Murderer in
st. limo, After d Desperate
Fight.

Frank Raude, who killed two men and
wounded another at St. Elmo, this state,
and who was supposed to be the same
person who committed the Gilman, Knox
county, murders, last August, has at last
been captured. III company with a man
named Morrison he went into saloon on
Ninth street, ST. Louis, Friday morning, to
redeem vaIise left there months ago.
Rande was recognized and the police sum
mOned. Policeman White seized Rande,
who drew revolver and shot the officer in
the thigh, severing the femoral artery. A
scuffle ensued, during which the pistol was
several times discharged, and Rande
wounded by it. The pawnbroker covered
| Morrison with a gun and his clerk finally
shot Rande in the back, which with the
blows from Policeman Hefferman, brought
the murderer to the floor, and he was
secured Both Rande and Officer White
are seriously wounded Rande had on him
two large revolvers, knife, a billet and a
pair of brass knuckles.
LATER White was still alive last night
but in ve-y low condition. His recovery
is believed TO be impossible. Rande was
also alive and full of bravado The man
Morrison, who was with RaBde, seemed to
be an entirely innocent party. He is a
tramp, however, and says he met Rande
on the road between st Louis and Spring
held, this state, and they agreed to come
to St. Louis together. He will be held by
the police authorities. j. NJ. Kinsey,
chief Of police of Peoria, Ills. is 10 St.
Louis and gives an account of tracking
Raude ever since he killed the two men
and wounded another, who were pursuing
him through corDfeld at St. Elmo, last
August, after he had robbed the house of
Mr.. Belden, of that place. There is no
doubt about his identity, as pawn ticket
was found in his coat which he left at St.
Elmo for the valise he pawDed with Wright
at ST. Louis last July, and it is likely be
will be further identified by citizens of St.
Elmo.

The ola story Rnin, Desertion and
Suicide.

Rumors Of q young woman having COM
mitted suicide by drowning in Davenport,
this forenoon, having reached this side Of
the river, reporter for this paper pro
ceeded to the other side of the river to
learn the facts. They are about as follows:
Mary Koch, German girl, about 20
years Of age, had been working for Mr..
Nichols Kuhnen, the cigar and tobacco
merchant over there. For some time she
had been keeping company with a young
man named Bernhard Bartels. whose
father keeps saloon on Second street and
Western avenue, and she appeared to be
deeply in love with the young man, though
he was only about Is years of age. A
couple of weeks ago, however, she told
several of her friends that she had ''faller
out with Bernhard" and appeared
to be greatly depressed il
spirits ever since. Last night, about !
o'clock, she dressed herself and started
down town, saying she wished to msk'
some purchases. She probably went Il
Bartel's saloon aud had talk with Bern
hard, for her dead body was found 10 tn
river at the foot of Western avenue thi
forenoon, and was pulled to the shore b,
Jacob Malchan. In the absence of Cor
oner Grant, Justice Finger summoned
Jury, composed of L. Stroll, Chas Stems
and John Kaufman, who proceeded t
hold an inquest DR.. Bawden examines
the body, and brought to light the fac
that deceased was enceinte, and would hav
become mother in about three months
The cause of her death was then appal
ent-she had been ruined and then de
serted by her lover, and being unable t
face the world with her shame she ha
thrown herself into the river.
Our reporter did not wait for the verdiC
OF the jury, but it will probably be in az
cordance with the above facts.
The girls father, Henry D. Koch, is
blacksmith and lives 10 Dixon, Iowa. Fl
hes been telegraphed, and will probabI
come to Davenport and take charge of Ii
body of his daughter.

EOralizing on His rraglcal Death.

q
The death of the great banker by
violence Of his own hand was shock to
the whole country. Widely known and
honored, surrounded by everything to
make life desirable, with such Injuries at

many were unwilling 20 believe, at first,
that he committed suicide.
VIII the lesson it teaches be written in
the sand which to-morrow's waves of
business and care will obliterate7 A great
majority Of the troubles of this life are
imaginary. But often we allow these ideal
and fanciful forebodiDgs to make life a
burden. They become as real in their evil
effects upon US as if they existed.
Mr.. Coolbaugh may have had real
troubles, but it is melancholy to know that
he could not meet them bravely and con-
quer them in his manhood. Standing at

Would it not be wo!k of wisdom for
thousands to take the lesson and let ii

OF marriage which took place at the Ire
mont House, few days ago, which may
possess some local interest, as the young
bride is known to many residents 10 this
city and Davenport, having on several
occasions visited in the twin cities"
where she is favorite in social circles.
She was ldiss Ida N. Hopkins, daughter of
the late AloDzo Hopkins, a we'll known
citizen of Sandwich, Inland niece of
Mrs, E. B. Holman, OF Davenport. The
groom is our young friend. Mr.. Fred. P.

Sycamore, Ill.,, for many years US. consul
at Bangkok. Siam. The ceremony was
performed 10 the parlors of the fremont
House by the Rev. Dr. Cushman, rector
of ST. Stephens formerly of Sycamore.
The wedding was very private, owing to
a comparatively recent bereavemendn the
brides family, and bat few were present
besides Mrs. Hopkins, mother of the
bride, and Mrs Gen. Partridge, the
groom's mother. and bis sister Miss
Blanche Partridge. The young couple
will make their future home in Sycamore.
