pletely useless for any purpose whatever.
Hereafter, he says, total disability shall be

Compis said he and his partner had entered
Guthrie on ponies. All the lots were
gone, and they swan the Cottonwood
and had staked a claim. Comps and
his partner offered 10 divide. To this the fell
low objected, and warned them he would
shoot before he would divide. Comps did
not believe this threat would be carried out,
and as he left the tent he said he would
sleep on that claim. A half hour afterward
Comps was shot by the first claimant, as he
stood by his pony, bride in hand. His MUIR
derer got away before Compis companions
could realize what had been done.
Believing secrecy the easiest way out,
Compis' partner dragged the dying man into
the bushes, and said no one had been hurt
He would not give his name, and the pecu-
liarity Of toe situation prevented a search
ing inquiry. Compis' companion took pos
session of the murderer's outfit of wagon
and two horses. The man will never return.
He knew his shot was fatal. The body was
buried in the bushes, This was the only
murder near Guthrie up to mid

MASON CITY, Ia, April 28.-[Special Tele.
gram to THE BEE News was received in
this city tonight that Ed Totten, for num-
Der of years II resident of this city, and a
young man highly esteemed, had committed
suicide in the Mitchell hotel, at Mitchell,
Oak, on Sunday, but that his body had not
been discovered until to-day. His parents
reside here, but they can attribute no reason
for such an act. Those who were most inui-
mately acquainted with him state that he
had been drinking heavily of late and was
harassed by criminal prosecution for vic.
lating the liquor law, and it is thought that
this drove him to commit the deed.

Creston's Sunday Law.

CREsToN, Ia, April 90. Especial to THE
BEE. Last Sunday, for the first time in her
history, Creston observed the Sunday law.
The new democratic mayor, John A. Patter-
son, was popularity supposed, prior to cleo
tion, to favor the whisky element. 1t was
also whispered that Patterson had pledged
an association of local ministers that, IN case
of his election, he would enforce all laws.
The "joint" men worked, it appears, without
any direct promise as to the results, going
principally upon the faith that Mr.. Patterson
would sustain his former record and stay
by the boys' The result was the election
of the democratic mayor by round major
ity The new mayors first official act was
to close every whisky joint in the city. His
next move was to gather in squad OF boot
leggers, who were assessed heavy fines.
Then certain vacant rooms We're searched
by officers, several cases of beer were
seized, and the owners arrested on
charges of selling liquor. Five or
six billiard men, butchers and a livery
man were fined for selling liquor,
in sums running from $50 to 500 each. Two
raids have been made on gambling houses,
resulting in haul of thirteen gamblers and
$3.50 in fines. Last Friday the mayor issued
a proclamation stating that the Sunday law
would be enforced, and yesterday every door
In the city except hotels, livery stables, resi-
dences and churches were closed. Many
Sunday dinners were eaten without oreao
and meat and digested without cigars by
citizens who were not thoughtful enough to
provide on Saturday evening.
The whisky men are disconsolate " see
through it all now" said one of them to n
BEE correspondent this morning. "All the
while we were logging on election day and
blowing in our cash for Patterson beer, that
ministerial trust was getting in its work and
votes on the same man."
Two joint keepers were tried this morning,
nd bpf nj 6nd puilty IN Spllinp liQuOr.
Each was fined 500 and costs, the costs in
each case amounting to $50. Upon payment
of the costs the fines were suspended during

son, Green county, says: A dastardly at

trainmen at the railroad crossing when the
train went north, and he Immediately took to
his heels in an opposite direction. He was
apprehended at the narrow guage depot and
recognized by the trainmen. He stoutly de-
nies any connection with the obstruction,
and explains his presence ut that time at the
crossing by saying that 1t was his purpose to
Jump aboard train on the northern road,
but his leaving there so suddenly in another
direction points to his guilt. He halls from
