He had heard enough to show him
that they had mistaken himself for the

carry out the deception.
Finally, he gained point within a
few feet of the robbers, when he sud-
denly rose. half turning, as if about
beatinga retreat.
The outlaws, with fierce cries,
pounced upon him. They gathered
round him, brandishing their knives,
their fierce eyes cleaning like fire in

IOWA CENSUS.
The Population Will be About Two
Millions.

A revised estimate OF the census
supervisors returns from Iowa shows
that the population OF the state will
not be far from 100000. Superin-
tendent Porter estimates that the
rough count will show about 1926
900. This is an increase of 100000,
instead OF the decrease which was at
first reported. Through an error the
rough estimate was given out a few
days ago as only little more than
400, 900, or decrease OF 200, 900 in
ten years. This statement was SUR
prise, since those familiar with Iowa
could not believe that ii had decreased
in population and, moreover, the i'm
preston was general that the state,
along with its western neighbors, had
very materially increased since the
last census. This proves to be true,
and Iowa's growth has been most
satisfactory. Iowa now has eleven
congressman, but with its consider
able growth in population 1t is not
likely that its representation in the
fifty-third congress will be increased.
Upon the basis OF one member for
each 10000 OF population, new ap-
portionment would give the state, with
1,925,000 exactly eleven members.

A CHICAGO TRAGEDY.
A. Leader OF Society Shot by
Wronged Husband.

A veritable lender of Chicago's 400
Is dying from the effects OF bullet OF
a wronged husband. The social leader
is DR.. Edward w. Sawyer, an old and
we'll known physician, who was sh OF
in the neck and fatally wounded by j.
Dalton Fancher. of the Chicago Horse
man. The greatest excitement pre-
walls in the exclusive circles where
the leader is well known, and the
cause Of the shooting adds to the
interest OF the situation. Fancher has
been travelling for his paper for the
past few years, and his wife has re-
manned in Chicago during the absence
OF her husband. That morning Fanch-
err returned homo from trip to Wis
consin. For some time, it is said, he
has suspected Mrs. Fancher OF in
fidelity. That day he obtained con-
fession from her. She admitted that
for more than three years she had
been criminally intimate with DIR.
Sawyer. Fancher left his house and
went TO the home OF the doctor. Here
he demanded confession from the
physician, who admitted the offense.
The young man insisted on having
the confession in writing, but the
doctor is said to have refused. What
followed no one but Fancher knows,
but moment later the report OF
revolver was heard and Sawyers wife
rushed into the Office to find her hus-
band mortally wounded and uncon-
scious. DIR. Edward w. Sawyer Is
physician with large practice, man
probably so years old and the father
OF large family. His wife was in the
house when the shooting occurred and
ran up stairs screaming when she
heard the sharp report OF the revolt
yer. On the stairs she met Fancher
with the weapon still in his hand.
Faneher ran past her and out in the
street. He was walking on the oppo-
site side OF the street from the Doctors
residence when two officers arrested
him. At the time they did not know
OF the shooting but had their sus-
picions aroused by his excited appear
ance. At the station Fancher told the
story OF his wife's and the doctors
confession and declared that he did
not shoot until after the doctor at
tempted to assault him with cane.

gain admittance to the house OF a we'll
known woman, aud persisting after
being ordered away, she promptly
drew 3S-calibre revolver and fred a
shot from her door with the above re-
suit. AS this is not the first scrape Of
the kind the woman has been mixed
up in, there is no surprise expressed.
No arrests.
Last May John S. Crockett. a promi-
nent stock dealer, was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by A. +. Call, of
the law firm OF JOY, Hudson, Call &
Joy, OF Sioux City, charging him with
obtaining large sums of money from
w. g. Hudson, commission man, on
alleged forged cattle contracts. Yhe
case attracted much attention because
OF the prominence CT the parties, but
on the preliminary hearing Crock cit
was discharged. Crockett has COM
menced suit against all the parties
named for $4,000 damages.
Charley Carlson and Adolph Alex
anderson hired skiff at the levee in
Burlington the other night and started
up the river. The next morning their
boat was found upside down on the
shore above the ferry, and their hats
were floating in an eddy near by and
Alexanderson was found wandering on
the levee, still partially under the in
fuence of a drunken debauch. He
tells vague story about going with
Carlson to the house of a fisherman
above the city where several dissolute
females consort, and says after drink
ing whisky there the two started to
return in their skff, when it was up
set in some way. He did not see what
became of Carlson, but managed to
reach lumber raft moored to the
shore and went Immediately home
without giving any alarm. The river
was dragged and Carlson's body found
near the raft with an ugly hole be-
tween the eyes. Alexanderson and
other parties concerned have been
locked up to await the result OF in
vestigation.

BLOODSHED AT ALBANY,
An Exciting Crisis Reached In the
Central Strike.

A dispatch from Albany, N. Y, OF
Aug. 10th says; The situation Is
apparently the same, except that the
road is losing time on the passenger
trains. The Knights are Jubiliant
over the situation at Buffalo and say
they are stronger than ever. Great
excitement ranges among the strikers
and public generally over fracas
between the Pinkertons and a crowd
OF people, A freight train was COM
ing down the grade from West
Albany. The car had two Pinkert0n
men on it, and as they got down near
the Van Woert street crossing u small
boy fired a stone, striking one of the
guards. Instantly the fellow brought
his rifle to his shoulder and fired.
The ball missed tho boy, but struck
man named John Mccarthy, who was
in his own yard. Instantly the other
Pinkertons who lined the track open
ed fire on the inoflensive crowd near
the station. As II by magic the place
suddenly swarmed with strikers, but
almost us quickly a squad OF blue
coated policemen came up on run.
The crowd was kept back with difficult
ty. Chief OF Police Willard ordered
the arrest OF five Pinkerton men who
were told to shoot. All were locked
up, and kilograms were sent out to
intercept the train and arrest the
man who fired the shot. So excited
was the crowd that the Pinkerton
men 10 the number Of fifteen became
SO scared that they applied at the
station house to be locked up for pro-
tecr,on. The X. OF l.. have issued
bulletin calling on their members to
stay away from the railroad and pre-
serve the peace, but the excitement
Is still intense and trouble Is feared.
Henry Douglass another Pinkerton
man, was arrested at West Albany
for flourishing revolver and attempt
ing TO intimidate q small crowd that
had gathered. Had not the police
arrested Douglass he would have been
torn to pieces, as the crowd was
thoroughly enraged, He claimed
that he took the revolver to force his
way back TO the yards, but despite
his plea he was committed to jail
Later five Pinkertons were arrested
for encroaching on city property arm
ed with rifles. ALI were locked up.
The streets have been flooded with
circulars containing sarcastic illusions
to the Sunday services at West Albany
and intimating that the "Pinkerton
thugs whl have charge OF the meet
ings. The road managers claim that
they are being badly treated by the
police, and that the Pinkerton men
are being arrested out Of spite.
Shortly after the shooting ARRAY at
the Van Woert street crossing, Ed
ward Canary, Piukerton man,
assaulted Christopher Lang with q
club, and he was taken into custody.
Another Pinkerton man who was
walking up the tracks at that point
swinging aloaded gun and revolver,
was arrested and jailed. TIE man
Mccarthy is in the hospital. The
ball entered the leg just above
the ankle and came out on the other
side. The leaders in the strike say
their men were not a party TO the
trouble.
