FEARS OF FOUL PLAY.
The Mysterious Man Found Hanging
to a Greene County Tree.
SOLDIER SENSATION AT TIFFIN.
A Suit Brought Against Senator Sherman
for Unpaid Taxes.
ALL THE NEWS FROM NEARBY TOWNS

WAYNEsBURG, March 1s.-The body
of the man found hanging to tree on the
farm of Samuel Hewitt, this county, is sup
posed to be young man named Garrison, of
Elm Grove, w. Va, who disappeared from
home about six weeks ago. When the re-
mains were taken down they were found to
be in an advanced state of decomposition.
A bullet wound was found in the back of
the head, and the entire upper part of the
face and top of thesk had been blown of.
His death is supposed to have been the
result of suicide, yet some circumstances in
dicate that he may have been foully dealt
with. Pursuing the former theory it is sup
posed that he clImed up large tree, placed the
rope around limb, descended and climbed a
smaller tree that grew ten feet from the larger
one. Here he secured the end of the rope
made moose and placed it around his neck,
then tied loaded pistol to branch Of a small
er tree and in some way fired it An empty
horse-plstol was discovered hanging TO branch
of the smaller tree. A strange circumstance
IS the fact that no blood was found on his cloth:
ing and the upper and front part of the skull
cannot be found.
The pistol is about Is inches long, and it is
believed impossible for him to have fired bull
let into the base of his head. Two physi-
clans were called at the Coroner's inquest, one
of whom remained steadfast to the opinion
that the mans skull was injured from blow.
Tie man was an entire stranger in the commu-
nifty. but was identified as having been seen
about six weeks before in a drugstore at Cam
eron, W. Va, and then afterward shooting at
a mark along the side of the road in the vicin-
ity of where the body was found. About four
weeks ago a young man named Garrison, from
Elm Grove, passed through the community in
Qulring for his brother who had disappeared
from home. Garrison's father once lived in
Richhill township and was a gardener.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
An Allegheny Man Tried to Sever His Jugu
lar Vein Yesterday.

lar Vein Yesterday.
Closely following the attempted suicide
on Mt. Washington, at noon yesterday was
the discovery of another attempt at self
murder in Allegheny. Charles Mcfarland,
residing at No. Compromise street, tried to
sever his jugular vein with a razor, but did not
succeed.
Apout4 o'clock one of the women living in
the house entered an clubhouse, and was horri-
fed to see the body of Mcfarland lying on the
floor, covered with blood. In his throat was a
gaping wound three or four inches long, and in
one hand he clutched a dull razor. The woman
ran screaming from the place, and brought
Officer Shoemaker, who had the unconscious
man removed to the Allegheny General Hospi-
tai. His hands were covered with blood, and
from the appearance of the throat he tried to
tear it after doing the cutting
Mcfarland is about so years of age, a bach
elor, and lives with his sisterin-law, Mrs
Thompson,s mother of ex-Oficer Thompson

THE indifference of the mass of the
people Of Los Angeles to proper rep
resentation of this county in California
on Wheels" is thing to marvel at. The
necessity Of fully advertising this region
in the East is recognized by persons OF
sense. The State Board Of Trade has
very sagaciously concluded to keep up the
Eastern interest in this State by travel
ing show which will exhibit its varied
products and resources. Ample space
was allotted to Los Angeles amongst the
other Southern counties. Our own Cham
Der OF Commerce sought to impress upon
our farmers and orchsrdists the
ACCESSIBILITY of contributing literally Of
their stores to render the display credit
able one. The makers of crystalized
fruits and our wine men responded gen.
erously. The latter donated fifteen cases
and three barrels OF wine of brands cal.
culated to illustrate the variety of our pro-
ducts. When it came to the farmers
and orchardists, however, the result
was very mortifying. The mem
bers of the Chamber of Com
merce were obliged to Put their
hands in their pockets and buy samples
of our leading specialties. One would
have thought that here was q capital
chance for showing the public spirit of
our people, and it surely was. That
it was not availed OF is somewhat sur
prising. One thing, however, shines out
clearly like good deed in wicked
world, and that was the patriotic action
OF the ladies of Compton. They have
made arrangements to decorate the Los
Angeles exhibit with flowers, and to for
ward fresh supplies from time to time.
This, of itself, will be a striking and
gracious feature of California On
Wheels" and will 60 far to atone for the
indifference of the farmers.

A Lively Mill.

New York, November ia lively
mill of eleven rounds with skin gloves
was fought this morning in an East Side
resort, between Charley Judge, of this
city, and Joe Fowler, ex-featherweight
champion of England In the first five
rounds Judge punished his opponent all
over the ring, but after that the English
man gained strength and began ponding
Judge. In the eleventh round he landed
terrific underhand cut on Judge, who
at once claimed his jaw was broken.
Judges friends were in the large major
ity and tried to keep him going. A ter
rife din ensued. Finally, Steve Brodie,
referee, decided the match draw TO
prevent trouble. A row ensued and re.
volvers were drawn, but the pugnacious
ones were finally subdued. Judge was
badly punished.
