Saturday body was found on the bank
of Whisky creek, about six miles north
of Breckenridge. The body was identi-
fed as that of Hans Hagen, who had
been working with threshing crew in
the northern part Of the county. He
left Mansion about three weeks ago for
his home at BraineTd in company with
Andrew Olson, or Void, intending to
take the train at Breckenridge. SuS-
picion rested on Void, who was traced
and found between Brainerd and Du-
Iuth, and brought here to-day. He
made full confession, in substance as
follows:
When we left the place W here we had been
threshing we walked down the railroad to-
wards Breckenridge till we came to Whisky

Two Missourians, Guilty of Shady.
Transactions, Skip the City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 1S.-The
police have just completed the investi-
CATION into the mysterious flight of two
fugitives. Last Friday night a man
and woman, greatly excited, went to the
boat house of Thomas Wright and pur.
chased from the proprietor flatboat.
Later they brought to the boat house a
heavy trunk, and asked permission to
use private room for few minutes.
They were shown into Mrs. W1ight's
bed room, where the trunk had already
been placed. When they entered the
room both were handsomely dressed
in the height of fashion. When
they emerged the man looked
like a tramp and the lady like
ragged beggar. Placing the trunk in the
boat the mysterious couple embarked.
They told Wright that they were going
TO float down the river to the southern
counties. The police investigated the
affair and discovered that the couple
were man and wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Lee
Webb. Webb, it is said, had been en-
gagged In number of shady financial
transactions and employed the means
acquainted by an outsider with her
husbands guilt. and so greatly was she
attached to him that she insisted upon
joining him in his fight. Mr.. and Mrs.
Webb are both members of well-known,
families which occupy positions high IN
the social scale. The couple were mar
ried only two months ago. Their fight
has caused a sensation. Mr.. Webb's
financial complications have been conf
promised by his friends who are now
searching for him to bring him and his
devoted wife back to their home.

Senator sta nford Sued.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1S.-Dr. Rich
ard II. Mcdonald, the venerable mill
ionaire who made his fortune out Of
vinegar bitters, and who now runs the
Paclric bank in intervals of his prohibit
ton work, brought suit yesterday
against Senator Leland Stanford tor
81 100000, which he claims Stanford
owes him for twenty-five certificates of
the original issue Of Central Pacific
stock made twenty-five years ago. This
is the stock which Stanford purchased
from Mrs. Clara Belle Mcdonald, the
cOmplainant's wife, who. it is alleged,
stole it about two years ago.

those who were receiving $50 per month
at the date Of the law

No provision is made for grading this rate
for persons who were totally helpless on that
date but rof receiving $50 at the time, and
none for these who have become totally help-
less She .nae date. The anomaly is pre-
sented of two men equally disabled, possibly
living side by side, the one receiving SI2 per
month and the other 500 per month. TO
state this case is to make all the argume Mt it
is necessary to show the absolute necessity
of an amendment of this act.
The commissioner also proposes to
pension all soldiers who were disabled.
On this point he says:
AS the war period recedes from lis and age
anu its attendant infirmities afflict the vet
eran who served his country faithfully and
well quarter of century ago, it is very
serious question whether the government
does him justice in limiting the application
of the pension laws to those disabilities
only which were contracted in the service
aud line of duty. 1 earnestly recommend
that pension be granted to every honorably
discharged soldier and sailor who is now,
or who may hereafter become disabled, and
without regard to whether such disability is
chargeable to the service of the United
States, or has been contracted since dis
charged therefrom.
The commissioner earnestly renews
the requests made by his predecessors
for additional clerical force, asking
specifically for 800 additional clerks, and
in justification of his request adds:
497, 900 claims of all classes, and that it is
tyenty-four years since the war closed. 1t
seems to me there are sufficient reasons for
asking that additional force be put upon this
work to enable those entitled to pension TO
get the benefit of it while they live"

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 1s.-R. G. Nc
Connell, of the geological survey, has
returned from his inspection of the re-
gion between the Peace and Athalasea
rivers. He commenced about 300 miles
north of Calgary and extended his Op-

north, to the vicinity of Vermillion.
This region embraces an area of 10000
or 10000 square miles. Little of this
tract was ever explored before by
white men. A good deal of 1t is good
farming land. but swamps abound and
make it unfit for settlement. The trees
are principally spruce and poplar.

tainly found quantities of tar, indicat-
ing the presence of oil, but just in what
quantities he was not prepared to say

Gives Them the Slip.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-As John Burke,
q bookmaker and sOloon keeper, was
going home from his place of business
early this morning, he was attacked by
two men, one of whom struck at him
with a sand bag, while the other tore
open his coat and attempted to rob
him. Burke succeeded in avoiding the
blow, and breaking loose from the
would-be robbers, he fled, pursued
by the two men clear to his
house. There he armed himself, but
on re-enteriDg the street he could see
nothing of the men. 1t was some time
before he could find policeman, and
further search for the asSailants proved
futile. Burke always carries large
amount of money on his person, and
this was probably known to the men
who attacked him. The place where
the assault occurred was lonely one.
and the absence of electric lights made
the locality dOubly dangerous. There
have been several cases of sandbagging
recently, and the denial by the police
that sandbag gang exists is not gener-
ally credited.
