RocKLAND. November 27.-The theory
that Clough, the would be murderer of Mrs.
Jacob G. Ludwig and the Wooster girl, had
escaped by fast horse. was summarily ex-
ploded this morning by the finding of his
dead body on the premises of Tax Collector
Smith, just across the road from Clough's
old home and but few rods from the scene
of the shooting. Mr.. Smiths son was going
to the barn with a lantern Just before day
light, and stumbled over Clough's body. 1t
was lying on its side with a bullet hole in
the right temple. The revolver, 32-caliber
weapon, lay at its side.
The authorities were notified, and after
the coroner had viewed the remains the
body was taken to the young mans home.
Mrs. Smith heard shot last night, but
when she learned of the shooting down the
street thought that it must have been one of
those two reports that she heard.

her injuries are not of danger

bullet that entered Miss Wooster's head the

and a half. There will probably be no op-

sary, and the chances favor the young lady's

JUDGE MAcRuDER ON TRUSTS.
Giant Companies Opposed to the
Spirit Of the Constitution.

OTTAWA, Ill, November 27.-In his decis-
ion against the Chicago Gas Trust yesterday,
Judge Magruder of the Supreme Court de-
clared that the creation of "a giant company
for the purpose of buying up other compa-
nies in the same business is not only opposed
to public policy, but is contravention of the
spirit of the constitution. This reverses the
decision Of the lower court. President Bill
liDgs of the gas trust says this decision will
make no difference to the trust, which will
continue its business as before.
CHICAGO, November 2S.-The adverse de-
cision on the Chicago gas trust had de-
pressing effect, that stock today declining
nine points to 43 and rallying at the close to
45A. A meeting Of the officials and stock
holders was held today to devise a feasible
and legal plan upon which to reorganize the
gas companies constituting the trust, but no
agreement was reached.
