The Apache Chief Notorious For Treacliery,
Craftiness and Faithlessness.
TOMBSTONE, Arz., April General
Forsythe, commanding officer at Fort Hua-
chuca, who arrived here to-day, made
known the startling fact that at the first in
terview which General Crook had with the
hOstleS Thursday last Geronimo had a
band of men ready to fire on all white men,
including Crook, at signal. Geronimo's
failure to keep his promise of surrender at
Fort Bowie is ascrbsd to the fact that
having SO much blood to answer for
he could expect no clemency and therefore
preferred life in the mountains to pros
pect of hanging at the hands of the author.
tiles. The hostiles had 200 rounds of am
munitiOn each. General Forsythe said it
it was impossible to fathom Geronimo's in
tentions and it is an open question whether
he will go south to join Mangas or remain
north TO harrass the frontier. Geronimo is
man Of fifty-two years of age, crafty,
treacherOuS and mercileSs. This is the
thir'l time he has proven faithless.

of things. He summoned several neighbors
who Immediately proceeded TO search the
house.
In the bedroom adjoining the dining-room
lay Mrs. shedd, dead, with CHASTITY, cut IN
her throat and skull fractured by the blows of
heavy weapon. She was but partially dressed.
IL NEEDED no investigation to disclose how and
by whom the crime was committed. A keen
edged razor besmeared with blood, which lay
beside the dead body Of Mr. Shedd, told the
tale. The old man had taken an AK and
crushed in the skull of his wife and then
slashed her throat with the razor. He then
went to the kitchen and completed his fearful
work by cutting his own throat with the same
razor by which his wite's murder had been ac-
compllshed.
The dsordered condition of the house would
indicate that husband and wife had quaTreled
shortly before the crime was committed 1t is
supposed that Mr.. Shedd was attacked by his
wife and after overpowering her, crushed In
her head with the ak and then completed the
deed with the razor, after which he committed
suicide
The general opinion of the nelghbors is that
MIR. Shedd was driven insane by the actions OF
his wife. This is substantiated by his conduct
the past few days. He has exhibited of late a
more violent disposition than was his wont,
and has often demolished furniture In the
house. His latest freak was the smashing OF
nearly all the household crockery.
Mr.. Shedd was one of the earliest settlers In
that section. He was highly respected by his
neight ors, who cherish his memory for his
sterling integrity and uprightness.
The news of the tragedy spread rapidly and
soon the house was crowded with neighbors,
who could scarce believe the report, and de-
termined on personal investigation to satisfy
themselves that so terrible deed had been
committed 10y one whom they so respected.
coroner's jury was summoned and an in
vestigatlon into the cause of death started
shortly after the news had been circulated.

DETROIT MARKETS.

The wheat market is essentially a waiting
one. Everything in the business line is so un-
settled and the uncertainty as to how far the
labor troubles are going to effect trade, has
made dealers draw out and only transact bust

and consequently very little is done on the

Resolutions Of Respect.
Resolutions in Memory of Judge Whitney.

The committee appointed to draft resolu-
lions in memory of the late Judge Solomon L.
Whitney submitted the following, which
were unanimously adopted:
The members of the bar of the county OF
Kent have heard with deep sorrow Of the
death of Judge Withey, while absent from
home, Journeying for the recovery of impaired
health. They mourn his loss 10 the legal pro-
fessiOn, to the whole community, and the af-
filctive bereavement OF his relatives and
family.
The departed Judge was, in private life, an
eXemplar of the qualities OF kindness, courtesy
and charity To all, and bound 10y the strongest
ties OF love 10 his home, his wife and children.
With the city of Grand Rapids, county of
Kent and the state of Michigan, he had sus-
tained important civic relations, and in them
had earned high repute. tie took strong
interest in municipal matters, in the establish
ment of educational, religious ana financial
institutions, and other public enterprises.
He filed high offices of the country and
state with excellent Judgment, unQuestioned
integrity and universal devotion thereto, of
time and labor, thus commanding the conf
dence and gratitude Of business associates, of
his immediate constituents and of the people
of the state.
Upon the creation of the Western District of
Michigan he was appointed the first district
Judge, and thenceGorth presided over that tri-
bunal; considered and adjudged many ques-
IONS Vi conpleAlly arising ON lanu anu lTOul
the sea- adludlCated cases presented under
the laws of the State Legislature and of the
Federal Congress- and under the State and
Federal Constitutions, exhibiting the moral
and mental powers which had previously mark
ed his puDlic career and crowned his efforts as
man, citizen and representative of the people
with the honor Of pure, learned impartial
and digniied magistracy under a national
commission. Therefore.
Resolved. That as solomon /. Whitney thus
lived, felt, thought and rendered judgment,
we esteemed ana loved him, admired his
lfe-work, and respectfully ask this court 10
place on its record this memorial of our senti-
mehts.
These resolutions will be laid before the
state supreme court by Attorncy-Genera
Taggart, before the United States court by
the United States Attorney, before Kent
county circuit by L. d. Norris, and the SUI
perior court by Judge Holmes. They will be

TIMELY TOPICS.

The funeral of the late Senator Mil
Ter of California, who died in Washing
ton recently, cost the country almost
$1,000. OF course these figures include
the expenses of the congressional dele
cation who escorted the remains to
the Pacific coast, but all the same there
is startling significance in these fig
ures. The advocates of funeral re-
form might with propriety begin
their work in the halls of our national
legislature, and make every effort
possible to free the funerals of public
men from wicked, burdensome eXtrava-
gance and foolish display, and in its
stead seek to inculcate as character
istic of so solemn and sacred an ordeal
modest simplicity and true submission
to Gods will, This should be true in
all cases. In the case of public men
now in the employ of the United States
government as members of congress or
in any other capacity, it's mighty poor
policy to dispose of the surplus in the
treasury by using it in elaborate funer-
ais.

In substantial two-story frame house
standing back one-balf mile from the road

Some years ago, and shortly after the death
of his first wife, Randyne Shtdd was married
20 Mrs. Jane Wood. Almost from the outset
of their matrimonial career differences arose
between them, and it was evident that they
were rot mated for each other. 1t was a
rare occasion when they agreed on any sub
icct. and both led life Of cons ant wranging
and dispute. The neighbors among whom
Mr. Shedd has lived for so many years
arc inclined to deal leniently with his
memory, and palliate in great measure
his awful act because of his martial unhapp-
meas. fIer disposition was so well understood
that when the marriage first took place his
sons and daughter, by his first wife, became
estrangcd rom him, but recently a reconcilia-
ton had been effected
The uight before the tragedy, Mr.. Shedd's
Youngest son remained In the house. His
