considerably delayed construction, but
now that the ground is becoming dry
again grading and track laying will begin

the road will run due north and intersect
the Houston and Texas Central at Gid

From the latter point the road will GO

DALLAS, Awril 24.-A draft for 800 on

through the German National bank Of
Little Rock and signed by E. B. Sanger
reached this city to-day. 1t is
needless to say that this gent is fraud

this country representing himself as a

Bros. of Dallas. He was first heard of in
Austin about two weeks ago. After bor-
rowing money from first one party and
then another he went to bagnio and
gave an inmate draft on Sanger Bros.
for $3.50. The inmate alluded to found
next day that all her diamonds we're gone.
From that place he went to Corsicana and
represented himself to some as Weinber-
ger and collected money from the gener-
GUS citizens on the plea that he was in
distress and wanted to get
to his home in Arkansas. To others he
represented himself as Ben Sanger, of the
firm of Sanger Bros, and borrowed money
on the credit of the house and now comes
the Little Rock episode. This draft was
Endorsed by woman, Dora West. The
description of the man is given as q
young man, we'll dressed, sandy mustache
and weighing about 145 pounds.

Fort WORTH, April 24.-On the 5th of
this month man came to the city and
registered at the Mansion hotel as "R.
Anwyle, ]. and S.N." He represented that
he had secured position as auditor of
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande and came
here to go to work. He drank very freely
and night before last he was much intox
icated and yesterday morning he did not
get up. The clerk went to see him but
Mr.. Anwyle declined the attention of a
physician saying that he needed nothing,
that he would drink little whiskey which
would steady his nerves and he would sol n
get up. He did not get up during
the day and was seen several times by the
clerk, who noting his state of nervousness
advised and insisted on physician being
called. But to this Mr.. Anwyle strongly
objected. This morning hearing nothing
from him and knowing that he had eaten
nothing during the day, the clerk went to
the room and getting no response to the
rapping looked,over the transom and saw
the dead body on the bed
The door was opened and it was found
that the man had with much deliberate
preparation committed suicide by out
ting the arteries and veins in his legs
with razor. On one leg there were five
or six gashes, and on the other eleven. He
had placed vessels under his legs to catch
the blood and both were filled, but little
blood being spilled on the floor. The
razor with which the incisions were made
was found in the room. Mr.. Anwyle was
well acquainted with st. Louis people of
prominence, as his letters showed, among
them being Governor Francis, Mayor AL
len and many prominent railway people.
He at one time had been superintendent
of the North Missouri railway,
puymaster of the Iron Mountain
and held other positions of
prominence. T. W. Day, of ST. Louis,
formerly of the firm of Gregory g. Day,
had met Mr.. Anwyle here, and becoming
acq uainted with him, knowing his good
connections, he insured the payment of
his board bill. To Mr.. Day he was quite
communicative, and few days ago told
him he proposed to kill himself. 1t was
regarded as but the vamporings of intoxi-
cation, though now, it is known it was a
deliberate purpose contemplated for
week past nearly.
Mr.. Anwyle was man of medium hight,
heavy set, dark, wearing only dark mus
tache on his face, he has wife and has a
daughter at school for whom he claimed
be had made ample fnancial provisions.
The whereabouts of his family are un-
known. Apwyle in 1886 was in business
at Wichita, Kans., and later he worked for
the st. Louis freight bureau.
