A Strange Document,

CHICAGO. May 10.-The will of Gen.
Martin BEEN was shown this afternoon.
1t leaves the widow only what the law
permits. The bulk of his property is
left to his sister at Alton, Ills. The most
important part of the will is a private
document attached to it, directing his
partner, E. S. McComas, to make d good
investigation into the manner of his death,
and if he found that he had been toully
dealt with to prosecute those guilty. He
adds hat his troubles have made him sus-
picious and that all may be without cause;
but it refers vaguely to a letter in a vault
which may guide you as to whom Ihave
apprehension of most danger. [ have
written to her if she wants to be free"
Further down he says that a remark
made by him hat he would try to kill
himself. was made for effect, and hat he
had no such purpose. If his death should
be accidental, destroy the memorandum,
but enforce the will unless revoked.
The memorandum makes other discon-
nected references to his domestic affairs,
and says that he fears poison more than
anything else The friends of the I'M
fortunate man hardly know what to make
Of his singular communication. The
Union Veteran League propose to push

A RascallV

WMLMANTIC. Conn, May lO.-The
climax in the case of the Willimantic
Savings institute was reached to -day in
the arrest of Cashier Royce on twenty
five counts, which indicate that Royce's

the making of false entries for a large
number of notes and bills receivable,

WASHINGTON, May le.-The majority

He Refers in a Strange Man

A TRIPLE

BEEoHER City, ILL.,, May 1O.-A triple
tragedy was enacted in the country near
here last evening. Henry Miller and
William Oderholt, farmers, had a lawsuit
over a trivial matter and Miller, the loser,
swore he would get even. After the trial
Miller, true to his word, shouldcred his
rifle and went to the field where l.. G..
Kinsey, one of Oderholt's witnesses, was
blowing. Miller first killed Kinsey's
horse and then shot Kinsey twice, infict-
ing mortal wounds. Then he went to
another field where Oderholt was at
work. Oderholt's horse was first slain by
Miller and then Oderholt himself.
1t is supposed that Kinsey and Oder
holt attempted to shield themselves be-
hind their horses. When his revenge
was complete Miller proceeded to IA hut
which served as his home, and after set
ting the place on fire he blew out his own
brains. His blackened CORPSE was found
in the debris and beside him lay two guns
and a bowie knife. Miller was a foreign
err, 40 years old, and lived alone. Kinsey
and Oderhclt were among the most re-
spected citizens of the county.

MED him and coached him for a mile,
then let the champion 20 alone to com
plete the distance. Tecmer turned the

After rounding the stake he forced his

He finished in exactly nineteen minutes
