were against the President going. Among
these kilograms was one from Samuel J. Tilden.
Some messages were received from Indianapolis
advising against the trip. stating that while the
sacrifices the President would make 10 going
why he should stay here.
About IL o'clock Colonel Hughes East. Who
was Mr. Hendricks's private secretary, was 1T
the White House, and the President said he
would like to know what the real feeling was at
Indianapolis about his going. Colonel East said
he would confer with the committee on arrange
ments, and wired Oscar B. Hord. Late
in the afternoon reply was received
which was considered by the President to
be against the proposition of his attendance.
Following is Mr.. Hords dispatch:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. %.
To the President:
Mrs. Hendricks requests me to thank you for your
message of sympathy and also Miss Cleveland for her
kind and beautiful letter She requests me to say that
your presence at the funeral of her husband would bc
very grateful to her feelings but that she fully ap
preciates the weghty public that exist at hir
t'me, against your coming West and begs that you
will be governed entirely by your of public
duty. OSCAR B. HoRD
After the contents of this message became known
1t was at once concluded that the President
would remain here. Democratic politicians gen.
eraly say that Mr. Cleveland should 60, but the
sentiment is almost universal that he has no
right to incur such risks as are involved in
rapid rush to Indianapolis and back While
most mon concede that his presence
at the grave of the dead Vice-president would be
very graceful thing to witness, all feel that the
life of President is not wholly within the con-
troll of him who holds the office, and that his du-
ties to the living far outweigh those due to the
dead, and that the latter should give way to the
former.
1t is understood that the President has not
yet concluded to abandon the trip. ~lthoueh he
said to a caller to day that the matter was being
presented to him in such way, and from'such
sources. as might induce him, as o question of
duty, to forego the Journey
Senator voorhees,, Col. Dick Bright and John
Paul Jones left here at o'clock this afternoon
for indianapolis. Senator Voorhees, was at the
White House just before his departure, and
many people believe that he goes thus early to
arrange for President Clevland's presence at In
dianapolis.

great FIRE bas been travelling with remark

Many settlers have lost barns, sheds and
Uthouses.
All the hay on the Logan Bottoms, which
had been put up for the cattle on Colonel
OFFS Cedar county ranch, q farm containing
5000 acres, has been destroyed. Thereiare
many large herds of cattle in that region,
and as the hay has been destroyed the loss
will be very severe on the stockmeD. The
FIRE which seems to have started about the
center of Knox county Just below the Santee
Sioux Indisn reservation, has been beating
south against strong wind, which has
materially atsid its progress. Should this
wind suddenly let up the fire may penetrate
the southern border Of this county and work

Indicted For a Crime Year After It's
Commission.
BUFFALO, October l0.-Fred A. Bruce,
of Collins, was arrested yesterday and
brought to this city and jailed on the charge
Of numbering his grandmother. The grand
Jury had found an indictment for murder
in the first degree. The killing occurred q
year ago. Mrs. Bruce was worth about
$4,000. She was on q visit to Freds
farm, which she had given him to manage
and which she was in the habit of visiting.
She and Fred were sitting in q room
where Fred was engaged in loading car
tridges for shot gun. Desiring to try the
caps he picked up shell from the box con-
tanning tue empty shells The top OF the
grandmother head was blown of. Fred
claimed be did not know the shell was
charged.
Among Mrs. Bruce's papers was what
purported TO be a will, leaving her property
to Fred, and naming him as executor. The
will was duly witnessed, but the persons
whose names were signed as witnesses
s#ore they had never seen the will and
never signed it. This led to an investigs-
ton and charges against Fred. he will
probably be arrRigned to-day.
