An Old German Claiming to
Have Been Ruined
Gets Even.

NEW YORK, September 13-F. w. Cess
vein, a millionaire tool manufacturer, wal
murdered this morning by Christian Deyhl
Deyhl claimed Gesswein defrauded him in q
patent transaction. He entered Gesswein's
Office this morning and demanded $500
Gesswein refused. Deyhl then shot him
through the heart. Deyhl is SO years old.
He wa orrested.
New York, September 13.-Deyhl had
been accustomed to call upon Gesswein at
his store on John street, but after his de-
feat in the courts hediscontinued his visits.
Nothing had been seen Of him for the past
six months until this morning, when
Deyhl walked inte Gesswein's store and in
CURED for the proprietor. He was shown
into Gesswein's private Office on the second
floor. They were alone with the door
closed. No one knows exactly what oc-
CURED.
Charles Kohler, one Of the clerks, has his
desk next to the thin board partition
which separates Gesswein's office from the
remainder OF the room. He heard Deyhl
demand money from Gesswein, and, when
the latter refused, there was q loud report.
Kohler rushed into the room. Gesswein
lay dead on the floor. Deyhl was standing
in the middle OF the room with a smoking
revolver in his hand. Kohler seized him,
at the same %snatching the revolver and
calling for help. Deyhl was turned over
to an officer and taken to the station. The
prisoner is an old German, SO years OF
age, and OF medium height.
When asked: "Why did you kill Cess
wein?" he said: HE has ruined me. I in
uented and had patented a reflector for
jewelers.. l made samples myself and sold
them to Gesswein at 81 apiece. I lived
pretty well on that for q time, but he soon
copied my reflector himself, and I was ana
Bile to get along. So I had it in the United
States court before a Judge who decided
against me. Then | decided to leave Phil.
adelphia, where I was living with two Of
my. sisters. and came to New
York and speak myself to
that man. I had no money
to 60 into business again. No money to
enter the home for aged people, and I
could not remain q burden to my sisters.
When Cess vein positively refused my
for $500 / drew q revolver and
fred at him without leaving the
chair. 1 was occupying the chair by the
left side OF Gesswein.
Gesswein was Al years Of age. His
consisted of Mrs. G~essewein and six
children, three boys and three girls.

to the colonel, with:
"Hev We got any cotton to sell, kurnel?
II so, I'm your huckleberry."
'If you have q friend let him consult

uroiusely with the national colors and a
FAC bearing the words, "Maginnis, Toole

Hon. T. E. Collins presented to the au.
dience Hon. J. X. Toole. He referred to
his honorable public career and to the
active part he had taken in advancing the
welfare OF Montana, securing her finally q
place in the galaxy OF states.
Mr.. Toole, who was received with
great heartiness, said that never
bad he found the Montana Dsmoc-
racy so strong, never did it present
such an unbroken front as at this election.
he spoke OF the claims which the party had
to the popular support, referring to it's
long record Tor economy and honesty. He
alluded to the burdens entailed by the reg
~stration low on the rural districts, and
the immense expense it entails on the ter
dtory. Mr.. Toole referred at considerable
length to the Democratic record on state

which the Republican press had exhumed
and showed how in due time he obtained
for Montana all that the northern counties

follow asgovernor, the broad, non.partisan
policy which he pursued in congress when

MIssoULA, Mont. September 1S.-Tspe
cial to The Miner.l-The Republicans i,
this county are already becoming dismayes
about the outlook for the state ticket
The Morning Missoulisn, the best establish
ed Republican paper Of the county, con
tanned the following in it's editorial columns
this morning.
1.-THE telegraphinforms us that over 1 zoe
voters had registered in Anaconda ND to
Wednesday night. Let us look into the
program and see what is going on. It has
been illustrated in the past that Anaconda
can give q big majority either way. Sup.
pose that the city goes Democratic this
year, ms most everyone will admit. Sup.
pose that Anaconda goes Democratic by
from 500 to 500 and Deer Lodge county by
from 800 to 1000. suppose further that
Silver Bow, which usually stands hand in
hand with Deer Lodge. goes Democratic by
from 400to 800. Besides this Gallatin will
in all probability give the Democrats from
100 to 300 majority. Choteau and Cas-.
cade will likely add a little to the Demo-
cratic majority. How are the Republicans
going to Offset these formidable maiorities?
They a carry Madison by from twenty.
five to fifty, and perhaps they can win in
Beaverhead, Park, Yellowstone. Dawson,
Meagher and Missoula. But the fact re-
mains that in none OF these counties can
they get a large majority. They may
carry Missoula by a couple OF hundred.
Few Republicans hope for more. Now,
how about Lewis and Clarke county.
Suppose the Democrats succeed in holding
the Republican majority in that county
down to from 300 to 500, then are the
going to elect Carter, much
less how are they going to elect Power.
They will be beaten by about 1000"
The above candid statement by Mr..
Spaulding is not relished by some OF his
party who are whistling to keep up their
courage, but the editor is evidently earnest
in his prediction.
