Dead Oh His Ranch, Twenty
Niles From Wichita.

Other VIKINGS.

WICHITA, Kas., Aug, 2O.-Robert
DOran, leading cattleman, was found
Sunday morning with his throat cut
from ear to ear, on one of his ranches,
twenty miles southwest. Those best
acquainted with him are firmly of the
belief that he was murdered, and that
he was left with bloody razor and in
dications of suicide. The razor was not
new one and on the bone handle had
been cut the initials 30. To Mr.. Do
rams family says the razor was never
seen about the house and certainly be-
longed to some one else, Some of the
parties who are suspected as having
something to do with the affair having
had trouble with Doran over some bus
mess matters were found at their usu-
al locations yesterday. Two men who
are reported to have left Saturday
night for No Mans Land on horse
back are suspected.

The MaYhrIcIk Case.

LONDON, August 1S.-MrS May
brick has maintained herself easily in
front as topic of midsummer discus
sion. So many acres of letters have
not been sent to newspapers before on
any subject within the memory of the
Oldest proof readers. As everything
in England, from vaccination to the
problem of controlling midnight
street walkers, eventually takes on a
political color. so the partisan line has
gradually been drawn in the Maybrick
agitation. Loosely speaking, the tor
les are in favor of her being hanged
and the radicals and home rulers are
against it. OF course there are infin-
tie subdivisions within these broadly
defined classiflcations. One of the
most curious is that all the teetotlars
within the Parnellite party who are in
favor of closing the public houses in
ireland on Sunday are to man
against Mrs. Maybrick. On the other
hand the whole group of tories,
who on occasion vote with
Churchill, are n.a strong 49, cham ham
been during the " eek many interesting
scenes on the London streets where
| petitions for her pardon were exposed
| for signatures. Great crowds gathered
here all day long and sympathy for the
| condemned woman was practically
universal in these throngs. What the
result of this very impressive popular
upheaval will be is still quite impoSsi-
bic to predict. During the week here
there has been a slowly growing con-
viction that the woman would be exc
cuted after all. To-day it is thought
here that there is marked reaction in
this feeling, apparently based on moth
/ ing more definite than the fact that the
Home secretary yesterday had long
interview with the lord chancellor who
is the titular keeper OF the queen s
conscience. He is a little, chuckle-
headed, poker-jowled man, who looks
more like the custodian of the royal gin
bottle than of a conscience, and is
believed by lawyers who know
him to be. the very last
man in the kingdom who would coun-
sci the upsetting of a judges decision
for the mere matter of a Woman's
neck. Justice Stephens dignity is re-
ally the chief stumbling block in the
case. He is a jurist of considerable
rank and prodigious assumption, and
has not scrupled since he has been on
the bench to write partisan review ar
ticles over his own signature, violently
attacking the Irish party as rebels and
swindlerS. This will render it next to
impossible for the existing tory min
istry TO throw him overheard if he in
sists on having his action sustained
and it is everywhere understood that
he does so insist, even to the point OF
threatening his resignation. On the
other hand, the agitation has grown sc
widespread that the ministry may vel
fear its results in case the wretcheC
| woman is hanged.

NEW YORK, Aug. l7.-Robert Bon

day:
MAUD has been sent to my farm at
Tarryton and will at once bs put into
active work for her trial. During the

mainly on account of John Murphy's
illness and death. You will under

was honest, trustworthy and manly
and Thoroughly understood Maud. /

her in the actual trial. Neither can /
say when the run VIII be made. but
the date will probably fall in the lat
part of September. Hartford or Prov
idence will likely to be the scene of the
trial"
When asked whether he believed
Maud s. would succeed in her task.

Il am confident that she can lower
her record all the way from half a Sc.

WIN There be a Duel.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 1S.-'There is
every Indication" says the Times
this msrning, "that the rival Irish
picnics may result in serious complica-
ton between the respective leaders.
Congressman Frank Lawler in his
speech at the Cheltenham beach CrOnin
demonstration denounced eX-COngreSS-
man John L. Finerty of the triangle
faction as a liar, coward and poltrOOn.
Mr.. Finerty's friends yesterday di-
gested this charge with great delibera-
ton. They agreed that the charge was
considering all circumstances, some
what uncalled for and unless retracted
would have to be recalled through the
intervention of friends of both parties

carbine and rode ahead of his troops

then heralded throughout the country.

for never having turned his back to a

DoSite ideas in the Irish cause can
therefore be readily understood. Cap

and was disinclined to talk. Congress
man Lawler, on the other hand, was
/ about town as il nothing had oc-
Cured. While Representatives of the
triangle and friends of the Cronin
prosecuting committee stood about and
talked the matter over with an omin-
Gus air of seriousness. Congressman
Lawler made light of the affair and
showed himself in down town public
places. Last evening he put in an an
pearance at the Grand Pacific with q
number of friends, and when asked il

piece OF ground Mr.. Brand harvested
crop or wheat averaging thirty BUSH
els to the acre on the 9th of June. He
then planted corn with listers in the
same ground, which is now in roasting
ears and is an assured crop that will
average over forty bushels to the acre.

Dusnel and corn at twenty cents, a very
low estimate, and we find the land pro-

dollars worth of timber, have reached
most alarming proportions. a gen.
tleman just in from Northern Mon
tana reports that on the ranges in
Chouteau county, which heretofore
have escaped, and on which the
cattIemen were depending to keep
their stock this winter, thousands
of head of cattle are burning. The
buyers have over 300men out, trying to
suppress the fire and save the stock,
but the small streams are all dried up
and the flames leap over them quickly,
as If travelling on an open prairie. A
section sixty miles wide and one hum
dred in length has been traveTsed by
the flames. The mill of the BIZ
Metallic Mining company near
Deer Lodge, is in great danger and the
fire is travelling toward them with
alarming rapIditY. Couriers who have
arrive lately at Phillipsburg from
Georgetown, report the utmost con-
sternation prevailing in the town and
that large force of men are going to
the rescue. In the Yellowstone the fire
covers an area of eight miles and is
spreading rapidly. Ranges in that sec
tion have been almost entirely destroyed
and the fire extends four miles from
the city of GlendiVe.

his body was found to be in healthy
condition. He was getting well. and
with his vital organs unimpared, it
was only a question of time when he
would have been restored to full vigor
This was prevented by most unhappy
circumstances. Eminent physicians
had declared that Laird was not suffer

And yet his death is attributed di-

a few days before his demise. His
death was directly attributed to blood

The PugiIists.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 20.-Sporting
circles were exercised last night over
the rumor that Kilrain. the pugilist,
had teft town and that his bond of
81 $40 would be forfeited. He was not
at home, but his friends say that he
has no intention of evading the law,
inasmuch as he knows that even should
he be convicted and sentenced, he will
never serve days time in Missis-
sippi prison.
Sheriff Child's of Mississippi said
that Kilrain had no intention of giving
him the slip. ''Kilrain is no fool, ,
said he, land he knows that he has
nothing to fear from Governor Lowry.
We will start south to-day without
waiting till Thursday, the time fixed by
the court here for him to appear in the
haDeaS corpus case. Sheriff ChildS
added that Kilrain would be convicted
and given the same sentence as Sulli-
van, but that he too would appeal to a
higher court and be released on bail.
The court of appeals would not sit for
ninety days and in the meantime the
railroad company, at which the prose-
cutiOn was really directed, would be
dealt with, and the .pugilists would be
either pardOned or proceedings against
them would be dropped. Governor
Lowry was after the railroad company,
but it was only by prosecuting the
principals that he could reach the ae-
ceSSOries.
