A MILITARY OUTRAGE RESENTED

LAREDO, Mexico, Nov. S.-News has
reached the commander of the Mexican
troops at Nuevo Laredo opposite this city
of serious trouble which is now going on
in Mier, Mexico, down the Rio Grande
from this point about 100 miles. Last Sun
day merchant named Guterich was shot
and killed by two customs guards who
clam he refused to stop and be searched
on the road between Mier and Ikmarog
On their arrival in Mier they reported the
affair and the citizens were so incensed
they raised a mob and lynched them.
About forty or fifty Mexican troops and a
body of fifteen or twenty customs guards
arrived there TOO late to save the lives of
the guards and general sbattle occurred
resulting il the death and wounding of
some ten or fifteen parties. Reinforce
ments have been telegraphed for to Malta
moras. The town at last accounts was in
an uproar.

HIS CLOTHING FOUND.
Cronin's Garments and Physicians Case
Taken from a Sewer.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. S.-The sensation in
connection with the all-absorbing CrOnin
case today was the finding of the surgical
case and clothes of the murdered physi-
clan and the forging of another link in the
chain of circumstantial evidence that
clanks ominiously around the conspira-
tors. For some time complaints have
been made to the sewer department
If the Lakeview station that the sewer
at the intersection OF Evanston avenue
and Buena avenue was flush and running
over Today two or three sewer cleaners
were detailed to investigate the cause of
this trouble. After some hacking and
digging two valises We're unearthed-one a
leather one and the other the remnants of
- paper one In the leather valise WAS
found DR.. Cronin's prescription book with
several prescriptions bearing his sigma
iure. The paper one dropped into pieces
as it was pulled out and from it rolled out
a mass of tattered clothing that bore evil
1ence of having been cut into strips
by sharp knife. The only
Intact garment was the vest,
which was in the center and
which encircled the doctors case of surgi-
cal instruments The clothing had evil
IDENTIFY been cut and the buttons removed
in the hope that they would soon drop
apart and be borne away in the waters of
lake. The surgical case and prescription
ease bore the doctors name and they, as
we'll as every article OF outward clothing,
were recognized by the COnklins and Il
dozen others as the property of the muir
aered physician.
The most damaging of all circumstances
FOR the prisoners is the fact that all this
WAS found only enc block from the spot
Hh re the bloody trunk was discovered
At er il had been thrown hurriedly from
che wagon on the night of May 4. or half
4 nile south of the spot where DIR. CrOn-
ms body was found. The paper valise Is
supposed to have been the one purchased
by j. l., Simmonds" from 4. II. Revel &
Co., and TOMORROW clerk from that eS-
adjustment will endeavor to identify the
remnants.
A tragic event which occurred just in
front of the court house while everybody
WAS examining these articles caused the
widest excitement and for time was
supposed to be the denouemeDt of this
great murder mystery. y shot was heard
just at the entrance OF Judge McConnell's
court, and, surprising 1t to have connec-
ton with the sensational trial, she states
attorney and dozen lawyers and reporters
rushed from the states attorneys office
into the street Stretched lengthwlse
on the sidewalk was a strong
man with self cooking revolver
n his hand and his brains oozing from his
skull. He was quite dead aud as no one
could identify him il WAS at once pre-
sumed that his tragic death had some
mysterious connection with the sensational
discoveries OF the day. After an hours
investigation by the states officers, how
ever, it was ascertained that his name was
Edward Rehm and that he had been for
some time known to be partially insane.
His death was doubtless due to suicide
while laboring under mental abbreation.

Judge Bakers court for the release of
Alexander Sullivan from the bail bond of
S25, 900 given by him last June to answer
the Investigations of the grand jury in the

by Assistant States Attorney Elliott. The
motion was made on tht ground that the
grand jury had failed to return any indict-
ment against Sullivan. Mr.. Elliott argued

necessary to hold Sullivan and that he
(Sullivan) was answerable until such time
as he was discharged by the grand jury.
The court decided to hear the case tomor-
row and fixed the time at 10 o'clock,

SURPRISING DECISION ON STATE
OFFICES.

INDIANAPoLIs, Ind. Nov. a-The su-
preme court today sent down a decision
that will create a sensation all over In
diana. The cases decided are those
brought on the relation of the state for
the purpose of having the provisions of
the constitution relating to the filing
minor state offices interpreted. Two
cases are decided-the one in which John
Worrell, Republican, as Governor Hovey's
appointee. sought possession Of the Office
OF chief of the bureau of statistics,
ocrat, who was appointed Ivy the legisla-
Republican, sought possession of the Of
fee of state oil inspector, now held by Nell
son A Hyde, Democrat. The decision also
determined the suits of of Professor John
Collett, Republican. Governor Hovey's ap-
pointee as chief of the bureau of geology
and natural science against S. S. Gorby,
Democrat, who now holds the Office by
virtue of appointment by the legislature.
The effect of the decision will be practical
ly to revolutionize the present method of
filling the minor state Offices
Chief Justice Elliott, Republican, and
Judge Mitchell, Democrat. dissent from
the decision of Justice Odds, Berkshire
and COffey, Republicans. The majority
of the court hold that the election by the
legislature was illegal; also that the gov
ernor has no inherent right to appoint, be-
cause the Offices should be filled by an
election by the people. But, as the offices
exist legally. they are now vacant and
must be filed by the governors appoint
ment.

ANOTHER MAN LOCATES TAscoTT.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Nov. SIS. C.
holland, marshal of the supreme court, has
discovered clue to the whereabouts OF
Tascott, the murderer of Millionaire Smell,
of Chicago. Some months ago H. M. Mel
rose was convicted of embezzlement in
Morgan county and sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for four years. Last Monday he
was granted new trial by the supreme
court, and Marshal holland conveyed him
from the penitentiary to the Versailles,
Morgan county, Jail. While en- route,
Melrose informed the marshal that he
knew the whereabouts of Tascott,
and claimed he knew him well. He
said the fugitive was In the vicinity of the
Mulberry mountains in the north part of
Arkansas. This is all the information
that he would vouchsafe. A few months
ago while Melrose was in Jail he told the
officers that he could find Doc Middleton.
a notorious bandit of southern Missouri
and northern Arkansas. His story was
not believed at first, but later when a
posse went to the rendezvous designated,
Middleton was found and shot while re-
sistipg arrest. Melrose is acquainted with
all the notorious crooks in the country and
Marshal holland is inclined to put some
faith in his story.
