NELLIE KINGS FATE.
Standing in the Shadow Of q Horrible
Death at Last.
SHOT AT BY HER PIQUED LOVER.
George Burke's Murderous Fusilade in
Plants Dance House.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, June 3d.
George Burke, fine looking young
man, swings listlessly in hammock in
cell at police headquarters today bit
ing his finger nails nervously and specu
lating on his fate in case the bullet
which he fred into Nellie Skinner, alias
Nellie King, the cowboy detective,
should prove fatal.
Burke went into Plants dance house
at 10 O'Clock last night with crowd,
and gave it out that there was going to
be trouble. Plants place is VIGOROUSLY
tough, and was among the dives closed
o couple of years ago when the stock
AIDES were raided by the state authori-
ties. Plant and his wife went to the
penitentiary then but have since been
freed, and the place is now tougher than
ever. When Burke declared for fight
last night Divekeeper Plant proceeded
to throw him out. Burke then pulled a
gun and began firing. The first bullet
struck the King woman IN the side, but
he kept up fusilade for moment, un-
til hit on the head by Plant and the gun
taken from him.
There were fifteen women and fifty
men in the room, but all escaped injury
except Nellie King. The bullet entered
the woman's lungs and there is no hope
for her. This morning it transpired
that Burke had been with her frequent
ly, had quarreled with her, and it is
claimed that he created the row for the
purpose of getting shot at her. The
injured woman has been here since last
winter and the other women in the
house say that she had been in this vi
oinity since she became notorious in
Minneapolis as Nellie King the cowboy
detective.

THE EpWORTA BIBLE
An Object OF IniereS. nj The
MesbOdiSt Council.
IT WAS OWNED BY WESLEY,
An Interesting History of the
Book From 1898 Up 10 To-day.

WAsHINGTON, oct. 0-An interesting
incident at the Methodist council yester-
davwas tie presentation of the famous
Epworth Bible. The history Of the book
is most interesting one According TO
the story Of George John Stevenson Of
London, the antiquarian OF MethOdism, it
was as follows:
Reverend Samuel Wesley, \. NJ, was
appointed rector Of Epworth at the end of
the year 1896 He lived 70 enjoy that pre-
fcrment ill the spgiag Of the year 1875, a
period Of nearly forty years. During that
whole period the Bible used by him and by
his curatcs-one OF whom for some time
was his son, Reverend John Wesley-is
this volume. II continued to be used ia
Epworth church till about the end Of the
reign Of King George, when another and
smaller one took its place, and this was
preserved in the vestry. In October, 1884,
Reverend Robert Atken, then an
exceedingly popular clergyman, preached
some special sermons in Epworth
church. and on the following day Mr..
Sharp, church warden Of the parish. pre-
scntcd this old Bible TO Mr. Aitken, who
Immediately on his arrival in London gave
the book 20 Mrs. Smith, youngest daugh-

valuables, was disposed Of to cover the
