90 years and clerk for a well-known crue
house in Detroit, was found dying on the
walk in front of their uptown store from
the effects of a pistol-wound about mid
night The fatal shot was heard for blocks
around. Allis was only partly dressed. He

hat, and undershirt An examination showed
that he only had on one stocking, and he did
not have on a vest. All the circumstances

pistol Allis was the son of German
Evangelical minister residing in Waterloo,

were notified as soon as possible, but no
clue to the intruder could be obtained Mr..
Whitney states that the value of the prop
erty taken was about $4,000

their records in return with the suppostion

teachers, and were naturally quite surprised
to receive dismissal on the following
morning. Two of the suspended men were
dismissed Inst wear for n similar reason hut
