Hon. s. s. Cox is Given a Funeral

New YORK, Sept. 13.-Long before
1C o'clock this morning the hour set
for the funeral of Hon. s. S. Cox, the
First Presbyterian church was crowd
ed. The rain which poured down in
torrents the whole morning did not
keep them away. The floral tributes
to the departed were unusually mag
nificent, covering the entire length of
the altar and concealing the choir and
transept. Among the most noticeable
pieces were those from the letter car
riers of New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia, the order of EIks and the
United States Life Saving service. AT
1920 the funeral cortege arrived head
ed by honorary pail bearers and fol-
lowed by the bier.
Close to the coffin walked the be-
reaved wife, leaning on the arm of her
brother-in-law. After everyone was
seated the choir sang "The Lord is my
Shepherd" and then DIR. Dells read
from the scripture. Rev. DR.. w. H
Milburn, the blind chaplain of the
house of representatives, followed and
and deliyered short address. Rev. I.
Dewitt Talmage spoke very eloquently
of Mr.. Cox as typical American after
which the choir sang "Adeste Eidelis,"
and Rev. Milburn pronounced the ben
ediction. The interment was at Green
wood.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-In the case of
Gustave Swift of the meat packing
firm of Swift & Company against John
b. Sutphin, mayor of Duluth, Minneso-
ia, for $25,oOo damage for failure of
contract, Judge Blodgett rendered an
interesting decision today. Some time
ago the plaintiff and defendant entered
into partnership whereby the defen-
dant was to receive dressed meats from
the plaintiff and sell on commission
and salary. Much meat was shipped
to Mayor Sutphin, but the latter being
Informed of the law of Minnesota,
which expressly stipulates that all
meats sold in the state must be in
spected at least twenty-four hours be-
fore slaughtered, refused to handle the
shipments alleging his fear of the law.
The claim for damages was made
therefore because OF the loss accruing
to the plaintiff. Judge Blodgett held
that law was unconstitutional as the
meats had been inspected here in Chi
cago before slaughtered. He awarded
damages to the plaintiff in the sum
prayed for.

over a shaft which was making 1876

cut the rope in time and Gordon was

gled. One of the perpetrators of the

Fort LARAMIE, June GA cowboy
whose name could not be ascertained was
drowned in the Platte river on the 9th
inst. He undertook to cross the river but
his horse got caught in one of the treacl =
erous sand bars and both disappeared be-
meath the turbid sand waters of the Platte,
never to arise again. His comrades were
on the shore but powerless to render any
assistance.
More rain has fallen here during the
last week than for the same length OF

rivers are wide and deep, carrying vast
volumes of water onward to the sea.

A LIE KILLED HIM.
A Father Suicides Upon Hearing
His Son is Dead.
He Had Been Told that Boy was
Alive and Well.
A Passenger Coach the Scene of
the Self Destruction.

An epidemic of murderous violence is
sweeping over the lofty peaks and broad
plains of central and western Wyoming.
The revolving wave is tempered only by
an accompanying series of fatalities but
little less horryfying than the brutal muir
ders and determined suicides.
Friday, husband and lover quarreled
oyer a faithless wife. The interloper
paid dearly for his interference. He was
beaten to Inconsistencies with blunt in
struments and her frightfully mangled
with a knife. There were no less than
fifty horrible gashes in his body and the
powerful assailant must have become
blood crazed while wreaking vengeance
on his helpless victim.
An unusual suicide was reported at the
railway offices yesterday. The main facts
were that while the morning east bound
passenger train was standing at Wamsut-
at, a Spanish traveller named Antonio Sill
veira D'Esema, drew a big six shooter from
its holster, and without uttering a word.
placed the muzzle Of the weapon to his
temple and sent a bullet crashing through
his brain.
Particulars retailed by railway men go
to make up IN interesting and sensational
account Of what is quite a mysterious ar
fair.
The dead man. who was a Castilian, Tor
high-:ast Mexican. came from out of the
south in search of his son, a wild youth
who had left home to join daring Ameri-
can vaqucros. The search was f~ruitless
aud the distressed father engaged
in the sheep business near Poca-
tello, Idaho. He was unfortunate, and last
winter became a herder for a neighbor
who had prospered. A month ago some
n told the old man that his son had be-
come an interpreter at Castle Garden. He
believed it. and so soon as he could secure
sufficient money, bought a ticket for New
York. He kept to himself until a Mexi-
can horse-breaker boarded the train at
Green River. The pair were soon en-
gaged in a conversation, marked by the
rapidity by which they talked. The old
man told his story to the horseman and
seemed dazed when the latter assured him
that he had been deceived and that he
was certain that the son had died in Ne
vada more than a year 20.
The old man apparently lost the faculty
Of speech and did nothing but smoke
cigarettes and stare into space, assuming
an expression which plainly indicated the
rrogress Of a great struggle within.
At Wamsutta the friend stepped to the
door of the car. He had been absent
from DEsema but a few moments when
the report of a revolver startled all.
The poor old Mexican literally blew the
top of his head off. Passengers in ad-
joining seats were despatched with the
brains of the suicide, Women screamed
and tainted. while men became terribly
excited. A panic which could not but
have resulted seriously was averted by the
timely arrival of cool-headed trainmen,
who restored order and carried the re-
mains into the baggage car. The body
was turned over to the Carbon county
authorities.
