foolish as to join the recent migration

South Carolina to Arkansas, have
already written to their old employers
to the effect that they are nearly

money enough to get back to their
old homes, promising in that case
never to leave them again.-Virgin-

BURKE MUST COME.

Martin Burke Held For Extraditfon Upon
the Charge of Completely In the CrOnin
Murder.
WINNIPEG. Man., July 11.-Argument in
the proceedings for the extraditon of Mar
tin Burke. under Indictment in Chicago for
the murder of DR.. Cronin, was had yes
terday morning. The defense, Messrs.
Perdue and Campbell, in their speeches
assaulted the evidence, which they held did
not connect the prisoner in any way with
the murder of DR.. Cronin and did not
prove that Cronin was murdered in the
Carlson cottage or that Burke knew
Cronin, or that he had any malice against
him.
The prosecution reviewed the evidence
and contended that it had made clear
enough case to justify extradition.
Judge Balm delivered judgment inn
mediately. Speaking of the dispositions
before the Chicago grand jury. to which
objection had been made by counsel for
defense he said: 1T only remains for me
to consider if the evidence in these deposit
lions and witnesses is sufficient to Justify
me in committing the prisoner for extra
dition. There is no doubt but that the
crime is within the meaning of the Extra
ditiOn act"
Here the judge read the provisions of
the act and continued: Il have in this
matter to act in the same manner as if the
prisoner was brought before me, sitting as
a magistrate or justice of the peace,
charged with an Indictable offense COM
mitted in Canada"
The judge then reviewed the evidence
and SAID that to him it supplied such
strong presumption of guilt that he could
not take upon himself the responsibility of
setting Burke free as he would do if he did
not commit him. He therefore, in the
terms of the act committed Burke to the
nearest Jail to await extradition, the
prisoner standing up while the commit
ment was pronounced He explained that
he had given judgment Immediately as
the full court was now sitting and the
question could be brought before them
Immediately on application for writ Of
hsbeas corpus
The necessary warrant for Burke's COM
mitment was then made out and Burke
was removed to Jail An application will
be made to the Department of Justice at
Ottawa at once for Burke's extraditiOn,
but the prisoner will be given fifteen days
grace in which to appeal from Judge
Bain's decision.

KANSAS CITY, No.. July - Five horses

Grand avenue at 1850 O'Clock last night
A new two-story building at that number,
owned by Con Holmes, was occupied by
F. NJ. Slutz's feed store on the first floor
and basement The third floor is a
vacant hail, which post OF the
6. A. r will occupy. The fires origin
is unknown. Two boys saw flames
and gave the alarm. Three carloads of
hay, 1900 bushels of oats and 10 wagons
were on this floor The fire had a
fair Roadway by the time the depart
ment arrived and the horses and mules
were roasted by the burning feed that fell
upon them. In the rear of the building
large double doors from the stable open
upon an alley but no one was on hand
soon enough to open them and unite the
stock The floors and partitions in the
interior of the basement and first story
were partially burned away, the hay was
all destroyed and the oats either burned
or made valueless by water. The losses
on the stock and feed are 9, 800 and on the
building 81 O00 The property is fully in
sured in three or four companies. The
building was completed only about six
weeks ago. This fire makes the eighth
where horses and mules were burned
within fifteen months. The origin of all
these is shrouded in mystery.
