TRIPLE MURDER.

william Strong Kills His Wife and {.
Neighbor and HIS Wife.
ELLSWORTH, Kan, May 8L-A terrible
triple tragedy took place yesterday morn
ing at Dacey, a small town on the line OF
the St. Louis & San Francisco road,
between Wichita and this city. The
town was having a holiday and pre-
pairing to observe memorial services wheE
the news of the tragedy came upon them
like a thunder clap. William Strong, o
man who has lived in the town for some
time. first killed his wife, and then going to
the house of neighbor killed him and
his wife. The names Of the MUIR
dered neighbors were not learned here.
After the killing Strong took to the
prairie. A large posse. armed and some
on horseback. followed in pursuit. So far
Strong has resisted every attempt at ar
rest and keeps the officers and citizens at
bay with a shotgun. He is we'll armed.
The sheriff thinks he is crazy and neither
officers nor citizens feel like shooting him
down or causing more bloodshed. Strong
is not known to have had any motive for
his rash deed. The only explanation Is
that the man is insane. He was pursued
for several miles until he finally made a
stand and has SO far succeeded In keep
ing the officers at bay. IL he does not
surrender the only way to capture him
will be to shoot him down or wait and
starye him out

THE CHEROKEE STRIFt,

The Cherokee Indians at Variance Con
corning Its Sale.
TAHLEQUAH, l. T., May 31.-Great dis
satisfaction prevails all over the Nation
regarding the position taken by Chief
Mayes in regard to the negotiations for
the sale of the Cherokee Strip, and it is
now the talk Of the day. Dissatisfaction
prevails and many of the Chiefs own
party oppose his actions. He is very in
little attention to other views than those
of himself.
Colonel W. p. Ross, ex-Chief, and at
present editor of the Indian Arrow, ex.
presses his views as follows: 'The Chief
is very wrong in his idea of making .
party issue of the Strip question, and no
doubt he will fail in his undertaking.
There are also questions of more impor-
lance in connection with this land ques-
ton which ought to be brought before the
people. In regard to the commission ]
would say that the Chief would
have saved himself much criti.
cism had he assumed some qualified posi-
ton in reference to the subject of calling
an extra session of the National Council
for the purpose of providing competent
authority to confer with the United States
commissioners. The powerful government
they represent want something done, and
done at once, and the idea the Chief has
that the Council, which is, in fact, the
people, ought not to be consulted about
this very important matter is absurd"
At the convention which has just closed
for nominating members of the National
Council for this district (Tahlsquah) the
men in favor of selling were left in the
cold, and men were nominated who op-
pose selling the Strip under any crcum.
stances. Those in favor of selling do not
want less than 50 per acre for the land,
and would like to sell for more.

Lumber Rates.

CHICAGO, May 29.-Chairman Walker,
of the executive board of the Inter- State
Commerce Railway Association, has pre-
pared the decision of the board in the APP
peal of the Chicago & Alton and the Chi
cago Burlington & Quincy on the question
of reducing the lumber rate between
Chicago and Southwestern Missouri river
points. Chairman Walker declined to
make the decision public. There is

however, that it is adverse to the epplica-
ton of the two roads aud refuses to an
thorize the proposed reduction. 1t is an.

NEW YORK. May 3L-With the sensa.

death is revamped the story of Informer
Pigott's tragic end. When he fed to Spain
it was cabled that he had committed sui
eide in preference to being assassinated.
It was said he was found dead in his room
at the hotel where he was stopping. with
the top of his head blown of. By his side
lay a revolver of heavy caliber, with
which it was reported he had blown out
his brains. There are some Irishmen who
take little stock in the suicide theory. and

fate of all traitors to their cause. The
order had been issued for Pigott to be 're-
moved" and he was removed.
