The Large Coffin Had to Be Lifted
in and Out at
Window.
The Remains Denied Sepulture
in Consecrated Ground of
the Church.
A Large Number of Gamblers
Follow the Body to the
Cemetery.

Dago Frank, who was killed by
Thomas Elledge Wednesday after
noon, was buried I'm Paramount
cemetery Thursday afternoon.
After the remains were pre-
pared for burial they were taken
to the room of the "woman" of de-
ceased, OH Sprague street, at her re-
quest. The coffin was so large that
1t could not be gotten through the
door of the room, and 1t required
eight men to raise 1t through the
window.
There were no funeral services.
The "woman" said deceased was a
Catholic, but the priest who Is sta
toned here declined to conduct the
services and would not allow the re.
mains to be inferred in the Catholic
cemetery.
All the funeral gements were
tirst-class, the casket being a hand
some one. The funeral procession
consisted of dozen or more car
riages, containing the sporting
friends of deceased.
The funeral expenses were guaran-
teed by prominent sporting man,
not cent being found on the body.
1t has since been learned that while
"Dago Frank" was dying in Bar
mons store, where he fell after
being shot, his gold watch and
chain, together with locket valued
at 500, and $3.50 In money, were
stolen from his person by some one
who pretended to be ministering to
his wants. The chain were n long
one which he wore around his waist.
The watch and chain was turned
over to n special policeman yester'
day by some one who Is presumed to
have become alarmed lest they
should be found in his possession
and 1t is said that 1t Is also known
what became of the money.

was announced today in the consolidating
Of the North Chicago Rolling Mill Co., Joliet
Steel Company and Union Steel Company.
Negotiations to this end have been going
on for two months, and the they were
practically concluded last week. The news
was kept very quiet and only leaked out
through trade circles. The name of the
new company has not yet been
decided upon, but it will be entirely new
one. The capitol will be $50 6,OOO, 900,
Of which between $5,OOO,OOO and
$6,OO0,O00 will be issued for cash
now in the treasures of the re-
spective companies and balance will repre-
sent, this valuation of the three
plants. The stock in the new company is
to be distributed to stockholders in the
old ones upon the basis agreed upon in
their consolidation. The combined works
will form the largest steel plant in this
community. 1t will probably rank second
only to the establishment of Krupp, in
Germany. Steel rails are the principal
product of the mills and in rail making
the new company will have no competi-
tors in the west worth speaking of. Every
thing possible will be done to reap benefits
from the situation.

fourth congressional district at the last
election Lewis w. Turpin (dem) was de-
clared elected. Notice of contest was

waited upon by three men who
ordered him to leave the country in forty
eight hours, they claiming to represent the
democratic executive committee of the
county. McDuffy agreed to leave as or
dered: Before the expiration of the forty
eight hours the best democratic white citi-
zens of Wilcox county held mass meet
ing and passed resolutionsIthat such action
was not sanctioned by the executive COM
mittee, or the white people of the county.
McDuffy asked if they would guarantee
him against injury from the three men.
Being told that they would not, he very
promptly left The affair had elated the
very small republican element of the state
beyond expression. They claim that it
will give McDuffy the election.

KANSAS CITY, March ia Times spec
ial from Oklahoma City reports everything
quiet there this evening. United States
troops are driving out boomers. The only
foundation for the sensational reports as
to the conflict between soldiers and in
vaders, is that Lieutenant Carson was
knocked down by a boomer yesterday, the
offender being at once arrested. The
Kansas United States attorney has no juris-
dictiOn over Oklahoma, that territory being

Can't Remove Him.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-One of the,
matters considered at the cabinet meeting
to-day was the case OF the Illinois post
master whose removal was asked by one
of the Illinois congressman because of the
postmaster's political activity. It.was ad-
mitted by the congressman that the Office
was well managed, and the matter was
called to the attention OF the cabinet for
the reason that the action taken in this
case might constitute precedent here
after. Postmaster-G General Wanamaker
said tonight that he did not feel at liberty
to talk about what took place at the cabi-
net meeting. There is reason to believe
was adverse to the wishes Of the Illinois
congressman. but it is not known whether
or not any fixed line of action in cases of
this kind was determined upon.

The Boomers worsted.

WICHITA, Kan., March 19-The Oklahoma
boomers having fled to the woods upon
the appearance of Lieutenant Corson and
his body of soldiers, scouts were sent out
to hunt them down but were instructed
not to resort to violence, in what is known
as Crutch County, northeast of Oklahoma
station. Quite large number of boomers
had gathered around William Beck.
Among the number were his daughter, a
relative named Anderson and an old man
named William Adams. Their property
had been destroyed in the former raid
and they cherished bitter animosity
against the troops. Their hiding place
had been discovered by an Indian scout
and reported to Lieutenant Corson who
sent detachment after them. AS soon as
the boomers saw the troop coming they
made preparations to stand their ground
and protect themselves when surrounded
and called upon to surrender. They began
parleying and made threats which ex-
cited the soldiers who charged the party,
but seeing the boomers were armed and
having orders to avoid conflict, they dis
mounted and by an adrOit movement part
OF the boomers were relieved OF their arms.
Anderson and Adams, however, held out
and made desperate resistance with their.
guns. The former received terrible blows
from the butt of revolver and the latter
was struck in the mouth. After being dis
armed the boomers fought with clubs and
stones but were soon compelled to sur
render. Several soldiers received slight
oa1 wounds k but none serious: There has been
great excitement among the boomers since
the ! conflict and while all express de-
termination to make similar stand.
they are seeking safe hiding places.

NOMINATION WITHDRAWN.

WASHINGTON, March 19-The president
to-day withdrew from the senate the NOM
ination of Eugene Schuyler to be assistant
secretary Of state, which was made on the
18th inst. It is learned that the committee
on foreign elections, after the considera.
ton of the case, asked that the nomination
be withdrawn, coupling the request, it is
understood, with an intimation that other
wise it would be reported adversely. This
action was taken on account of an assault
made by Schuyler in his book entitled
american Diplomacy upon the late b.
w. Washburn, rejecting upon his official
conduct while secretary of state, together
with reflection upon the administration
OF President Grant and the senate; and
also. it is said, on account of charges af-
fecting Schuyler's personal conduct in
Europe.
