KILLED FOR HIS DIAMONDS.
A wealthy Nan Falls u Victim to High
W0Ymen,

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 26.-Edmund T.
Brown, one OF the wealthiest real estate
dealers in this city, was murdered by
highwaymen last night and his body hid
beneath sidewalk. Mr.. Brown was at
his office all the evening and started for
home in street car about 10 o'clock. He
lived In Carey Park, one OF the prettiest
suburbs Of the city. The conductor says
Mr.. Brown alighted about half block
from his home, and began to walk briskly
as 1t was very dark aud rain was falling.
This was the last time he was seen alive,
In the morning Mr.. Browns hat was
and covered with blood. Then blood.
stained coupling pin was picked up in
Arkansas avenue. This seemed to prove
that the real estate dealer had been mur.
dered, but there was no trace of his body
about the park. A little later his body
was found beneath q sidewalk. The back
of the head had been battered in, and
death must have been almost iustantaue.
GUS. There we're no other wounds on the
body.
Mr.. Brown was fond Of diamonds, and
always wore a number of gems. At the
time he was murdered he wore diamonds
worth $1,000. He also carried a gold
watch. All these articles were missing.
His diamond stud and cun buttons had
been wrenciied and broken at the shank
A pool of blood within 100 feet Of the gate
Of the Brown household showed where the
unfortunate man had been struck down.
1t Is believed that Mr.. Brown had been
shadowed by his murderer for many days,
as strange man has been seen lurking
about his Office and home. The stranger
has disappeared. A reward will be offered
for his arrest. Mr.. Brown leaves property
worth $250.000.

wRIGhr's WRONG.
He is Held for the burglary OF George
DOdson's House.


The case of the territory against Samuel
Wright and Otto Stephens, charged with
the burglary of an opera glass and .several
pieces Of jewelry from the house OF George
DOdson, on the corner OF Post and Fifth
streets. was called in the police court yes
terday afternoon.
George Dodson being sworn, identified
the opera glasses aud jewelry as articles
which were stolen from his residence in
November, and told how young Stephens
toUk them to his store to secure case for
them, and how he identified them by the
name of his wife being engraved on them.
Police Officers McKernan, Lewis, Will
son and HArbard testified a. TO the arrest
Of Stephens, the story he told. the arrest OF
Wright and the subsequen. finding of the
Fridays REVIEW. l.. C. Cramer, the
keeper of the restaurant on First street in
which Wright worked as cook, testified
that Stephens character was good; that
he could not say as much for Wright.
Otto Steshens was then sworn and re-
lated that Wright had told him the opera.
glasses were pair he had given TO his
mistress; that her name was Matte, the
same as was engraved on the glasses. but
that she was com monty called "hattie, "

party from whom he had received them
He also stated that he had seen Wright
word Matte" (Mr. Dobson being
asked, said such ring had been stolen

honest story that Judge Snyder dismissed
the case against him and held Wright In
$500 to appear before the grand jury, in
default of which he was put behind the
bars. The witnesses were held in &20C
each, which was furnished.

The wickes Binebird Mine.

From the Montana Mining Review -
Negotiations have been pending for the
past ten days or so, for the sale of the
Bluebird mine, located at Wickes, in
which good strife is said to have been
made last week. About year ago the
property was bonded by the Wiokes
Smelter Comprny, and last summer the
Jay Gould Company secured a bond on it
for $50 600. For some reason, which we
cannot explain, neither of thess bonds was
taken up, and until recently the mine has
attracted but little attention. The Blue
bird is q silver-lead mine. and, notwith.
standing its somewhat ingtonous career,
is pronounced by many to be an excellent
property.

verdict of the coroner's inquest. rendered
yesterday in the case Of Mrs. Dora Geer.
living near Hancock, who killed her in
FAINT child and then took her own life,
charitably declares that the deed was
done while she was laboring under tenn
porary alteration Of mind. though there
was In fact no testimony Of any previous
symptoms of insanity. The evidence
alton and method. one OF the most
remarkable crimes ever perpetrated in
the region. She was only 81 years old,
and was the wife of John Geer aud the
daughter of Lemuel Mallory, neighboring
farmers. Her husband testified that he
had never seen any symptoms OF insanity
in her, and knew no cause for the crime.
He said that at the BON meal, few hours
before she committed the deed, she kept
away from the dinner table. As he was
going out Of the house to his work he Sal d
to her, partly in earnest and partly in
pleasantry:
"Dora, what Is the matter? Are you

The husband thought nothing more Of

Their Books.
General Lew Wallace and his wife are
two busy people. Both are gifted with
the pen, and four books have gone from
the Wallace home this year--equally di.
vided between husband aud wife. For
the Harrison biography General Wallace
received 2 handsome sum, and his Boy
hood Of Christ has already gone into It's

OF Ben Hur the author has made easily
$4,000, based on an estimate of q 20 per
cent royalty on 300, 900 copies. His Fair
God has also netted handsomely, and the
revenue from this book is helped along
materially by the success OF Ben Hur.
In the January Harper's General Wal
lace's play of "Commodus" begins. This
production was written several years ago,
but only recently WAS 1t retouched and

this remains to be seen.
About three years ago Thomas Bailey

ceived in his mail story entitled "A

Before it finally appeared Ia the Atlantic

everyone knows. it created much talk
among literary people, and opened the
doors to the sanctum Of many other editors.
In this way Amelia Rives got her start
This disposition on the editors part TO
help young authors is the more laudable
when 1t Is borne in mind that few writers

Anxious for Annexation.

There is no doubt but that three-fourths
OF the people of North Idaho are strongly
in favor Of annexation to Washington ter
ritory, and yet, certain papers assert that
the issue is raised on tho Washington side
Of the line. About nineteen years ago
we heard klonzo Leland of Lewiston make
a speech In Waitesburg favoring annexa-
tion. He explained the condition of the
people in North Idaho. and how ther were
separated from the rest Of the territory
by impA sable ranges Of Mountains; and
at that time he clearly demonstrated TO ps
that the welfare and financial prosperity
of the people demanded that they be an
nexed to this territory. Since then We
have by actual observation, and by long
continued intercourse with the people,
been more deeply impressed With the de-
plorable condition in which the settlers of
North Idaho are PLACED 80 long as they are
surrounded by their present political and
geographical barriers. The question of
annexation is not for the mere acquisition
from this side Of the line, but
is an issue based on the prin.
ciple of freedom to a little handful Of peo.
pie. who should. by every principle Of JUS
tice, be entitled to enjoy the full amount
OF blessings that flow from honest indus
try. Ii is whether or not we will lend a
willing hand to fellowmau who is in
sore need of what little aid we can render
him. II does not look very humane for
any one to raise voice against the an
nexation of North Idaho to Washington
territory. The people of this territory
can bs more prosperous and enjoy lii,
better without admission than the peop,
of North Idaho can without ann xs.,on
