LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING.
A Bank Cashier Cuts His Throat
and Cremates Himself

SULLIVAN. Ind, Feb. 5.-This COM
mnnity is greatly excited over the sui
eide OF w. r. Crowley, cashier of
the Farmers state Bank of Sulli-
van. The suicide was discovered by
the burning of the barn of d. C. Hig-
bee, Crowley's father-in-law. When
the fire was subdued the remains of the
unfortunate cashier were found in the
ruins, with the legs burned off. In his
hand was still clasped bloody knife,
and several ragged holes in the neck
convinced the coroner's jury that
Crowley had first stabbed himself
and then fired the barn. When the dis
covery was made the doors of the bank
were closed, and thorough investiga-
ton developed the fact that CrOwley's
accounts were all right. No motive for
the act can be ascribed save temporary
insanity. Crowley leaves an accom-
plished widow and two children, and
his domestic relations were always
pleasant. Mrs. Crowley is raying
maniac over her husbands act.

From the Men Who M AXE

Bid for a Perpetual Lease Of
the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Secretary of State
Cowdrey. Land Commissioner Steen
and State Treasurer Hill, of Nebraska,
majority of the state board of trans
portation, reached this city yesterday.
Their wish is to induce the railroads to
grant them lower rates on corn from
that state. They say that the farmers
have plenty of corn, but that the trans
portation charges are nearly equal to its
cash price at the point of shirment.
They met the managers of the railroads
IN interest this forenoon and
mad long conference. Thus
far no definite conclusion has
been reached and the state officials ex-
press little hope OF being able to ac-
complish anything. They say that,
while the rates are much too high,
temporary reduction, which is all they
can get from the railroads, would do no
good. The present state of affairs is
likely to last several years, and they
want correspondingly permanent re-
duetion in freight rates. Gov. Thayer,
OF Nebraska, was expected here this
morning an the same errand as that of
the other gentlemen, but he did not ap-
pear. In fact, it was understood that

who could get relief for the
farmers first. The conference con-
tinued until l o'clock, when the
Nebraska men and railroad men went
into separate caucuses, thinking they
might the more readily formulate
method of settlement. Half an hour
later the railroad men adjourned and
will meet with the Nebraska officials TO-
morrow morning, it being found impos-
sib]e to reach unanimous action. owing
TO the absence of several interested
lines. The railroad men say they would
be willing to make any reasonable re-
duction in rates if other rates would re-
main unaffected, or if the reduction
would do the farmers any good. They
assert that any reduction i'll rates would
result in such quantity OF corn being
thrown on the market as to completely
demoralize prices, putting the farmers
III a worse plight than ever.

NAVAJoEs ON THN wARPATH.
They Threaten to Wipe Out Hum

DURANGO. Col, Feb. 5.-Grave fears
are entertained by the settlers of San
Juan county, New Mexico, over
the demonstrations being made by
the Navajo tribe of indians. A
courier to-day brought in word that a
few days ago the Navajos drove the
family of Joseph Sterrit off their ranch
and ran off ten head of horses. Sheriff
Kit Carson and posse recovered the ami
mails, when the Indians threatened to
clean out every white settlement on the
San Juan, La Plata and Animas riv-
ers. There are now 500 warriors
camped at West Waters, between the
La Plata and Ojo Caliente, sixty miles
south of Durango. The trouble arises
out of the killing of the Navajo Indian
some weeks ago by raDchman named
John Cox. The Indians demand 81 900
or ten head of horses for the dead tuck,
and if refused they threaten to murder
every white on the river. The Indians
have sent the squaws and young ones
back to the reservation, and the citizens
of Durango and vicinity are very much
