On Wednesday Sam Stevenson, well
known gambler, died in Omaha. The de-
ceaeed was born of Ethiopian parentage, and
was in reality negro, but before his death
suffered Transformation, which left him
whittier than the average representative of
the Caucasian race. The body, as it lay in
the coffin at the undertaker's rooms, was
that of an aged, venerable looking man.
His hair was straight, as well as his beard,
which was worn full, white as the driven
snow. The only marks which indicated
that he was other than white parentage,
were two black spots on the forehead, q
black circle under each eye, small spots on
the hands, and rim of dark skin about the
edges of the ears.

On Thursday, in Washington, the pro-

question, "Haveyou found any presentment

The Foreman-We make no presentment.
The court then dismissed the jury until Oc-
tober 9 next Col. Bliss deems his new evil
dence insufficient for the grand jury to have
found a presentment upon. 1t is reported
that the iury was thoroughly familiar with
the connection between Senator Kellogg
and Walsh as shown in the testimony taken
before the congressional investigating COM
I,;ttee before any evidence had been pre-
sentel them. It is understood that nineteen
of the twenty-three jurors were opposed to
nresentment upon the evidence upon the
final vote. It is said that the decision OF the
iury with regard to the evidence relied upon
by the prosecution to connect Senator kel-
logg with the alleged conspiracy was made

commission has engaged quarters at Long
Brandh, and they will probably go there
early next week and remain there for the
ensuing two months. The first step will be
for the commission to familiarize itself with
the subject in hand and to examine carefully
all the tariff schedules. The Eext thing will

Red Wing Girl Murdered in Montana.


A letter from Sweet Grass, Gallatin county,
Montana, gives the particulars of the murder
of Miss Flora Cutters, formerly of Red Wing,
Minn., by half-crazy crank named Joseph
J. Harrison, who had unsuccessfully sought
her hand in marriage. He renewed his
arduous attentions at his brothers house and
upon Miss Cutters refusal of his suit, as is
presumed, he drew revolver and shot her
three times, two balls penetrating her lungs,
and the third her shoulder. The weapon
used was Colts five-shooter, carrying a
1915 cartridge. After seeing her fall he
turned the weapon on himself, but did not
succeed in blowing out his own worthless
brains because of the interference of several
people who gathered at the sound of the
first shots. Miss Flora Cutler lived at Red
Wing for some years, and has father and
step-mother still living in the outskirts of
the town. She also has sister, an artist,
who makes her home in Brainerd. The
murderer, who is in custody, once lived at
Pine Island, Mimi.
