Last April George Karr came to this city
from Parsons, Kan, and with j. E. West
lake and Matt Bradley opened the Clipper
Club and Sample Rooms, which soon be-
came the most popular resort of the kind
here. Last month he sold out his interest
in the business to his partners. Since then
be has been drinking and gambling heavily.
Last night, while in a respondent mood
from heavy losses the night before, he
walked to the bridge spanning the Rio
Grande, just below the city, and, after
passing the gate-keeper's house, deliber-
ately put pistol to his right temple and
fired, the ball crashing through his brain,
causing instant death. The gate-keeper
heard the shot, but supposing il was some
one shooting into the air, paid no attention.
This morning at six o'clock teamsters COM
ing into town found the body lying on the
further end of the bridge, pistol at his
side with one empty Gambler. His watch
and jewelry were on his person unmoleSted.
karr was most popular young man and
had a number of friends who are shocked
at his suicide. His wife is the daughter of
prominent railroad gentleman who is in
terested in the First National Bank, Deni-
son, Tex; also, large stakeholder in
leading bank in st. Louis. The Coroner's
Jury this morning found that deceased
came to his death from gunshot wound,
fred by himself.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 81.
Mr.. H. j. Comber, United States Circuit
and District Court juror, who came to this
city to-day in response to summons it,
sued by the Clerk of the United States Dis
trict Court in conversation in Marshal
McGee's office, made a statement that occs-
stoned considerable comment. He said
that on the preceding day Frank James was
seen walking about the streets of Gallatin,
accompanied by his wife and by his sister,
Mrs. Allen Palmer, attending to some busi-
ness in various stores there. The state
ment was also made that the prisoner was
not accompanied by guard. An official
OF the court stated that Mr.. Comber said
that while Frank James was dong this
colored man, who had taken some goods
from a store, was doing penal service with
a ball and chain attached to him. As no
repre- sCn.ative of Sheriff Crosier was present
nothing in explanation of his side of the
matter was said. 1t is said that James
health demands that he be exercised at
least little every day.

THE LATEST.

SECRETARY TELLER has written letter
to the Attorney General submitting the
question whether he can legally detail an
examiner in the Pension Office to assist
Colonel Corkhill, United States District
Attorney, in investigating the frauds by
attorneys and claim agents upon pension
ers. Secretary Teller says his endeavor
will be to vigilantly carry out the law re-
garding this matter and to assist to the
best of his ability and authority in the
prosecution of those persons who have COM
mitted offenses against the pension laws.
COMPTROLLER KNOX, it is said, will de-
cline to grant authority to operate a Ma
| tional Bank in the Indian Territory. His
declination is based upon the ground that
the applicants are not citizens, hence not
entitled to the privileges under the banking
act.
1T is estimated by the Commissioner Of
Pensions that $40,000,000 will be required
for the payment of pensions during the
next fiscal year.
AT an early hour on the morning of the
4th, as the west-bound passenger train on
the Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western
Railroad was nearing Danville, ILL.,, four
men. who had boarded it some distance
over in Indiana, entered the passenger
coach, and, with drawn revolvers, ordered
the passengers to hand out their money
and valuables. About 81 100 in money, a
check for S1,10O and few articles of ap-
parel were taken. When the train stopped
at Danville the robbers boarded the east
bound passenger train on the Wabash, st.
Louis & Pacific Railroad, and robbed the
passengers of about $500, and made good
their escape.
A BUNDLE of money amounting to about
$1,000, which was in the care of the Ameri-
can Express Company, was stolen the other
night at Portage, Wis. w. p. Long, night
transfer agent, had the packages for the
Chicago & st. Louis Railway and Milwau-
kee Company and in passing through the
door of the office the bag caught on the
staple and was torn open on the side Of
Milwaukee package. Between 5000 and
$1,000 fell out, but Long did not miss it till
he reached the car. Returning he found
the package gone. No clew as TO the thief
