A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
John Puterbaugh Murders His Family
and Suicides.

and Suicides.
OMAHA (Neb.), July 10.-A special tele-
gram to the Omaha Bee from Ellis, Neb.,
says: Sometime last night the most hor-
rible tragedy ever enacted in this section
of Nebraska occurred. This afternoon
Mrs. DR.. Allen of Beatrice came to Ellis
on visit to her brother, John H. Puter-
baugh, who lives mile and half south
of town.
She was driven to the farm by Louis
Petting, and knocked at the door. but
received no response. They entered, the
door not being locked, and found hor-
rible state of affairs. Her brother was
lying on the floor, his face covered with
blood. In the bed was the mother, with
bullet through her head. In the bed
with her was a two-year-old baby, also
shot through the head. In the room was
another bed, occupied by two young
girls, Ii and Is years respectively, both
dead, with bullet holes in their heads.
How they met their terrible fate is yet
unknown. The general belief is that the
terrible deed was the work of the hus-
band and father. The faces of the dead,
although covered with blood, were calm,
as though sleeping. All seemed to have
been killed while sleeping, and were shot
directly through the skull.
Puterbaugh was not a drinking man.
He suffered from the grip last spring, and
since then has not been in the best of
health. It is thought that he killed his
family and then suicided.

certain stock belonged TO, and for time
placed some in my name.
In regard to certificate No. $50. which
was transferred by Yard to Scudder d
Durham of Trenton. that is part of the
stock on which the loan from the trust
company was secured, and after the
Lucas estate got it back it was very likely
passed over to Yard again to raise money
on.''
Wanamaker then again went over, at
some length, the transactions in Reading
in which Lucas was partner, and said
when a settlement was made President
Marsh admitted in the presence of three
witnesses that the Lucas estate owed him
S15, 900. The fact that some of the certifi-
Gates held as collateral by Irwin and To-
land We're dated after Lucas death was
due, he said, to the fact that the broker
would not handle them while in the
dead mans name.
In closing his testimony Wanamaker
read letter from Comptroller Lacey and
Assistant Secretary Nettleton, to show
that he never influenced nor delayed for
an instant the appointment Of receiver
for the keystone Bank.

Bulletin Issued From the Department.

of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The report of
the Department of Agriculture makes the
acreage. compared with the breadth har-
vested last year, of corn, 1858; potatoes,
1923; tobacco, 1925. The condition of the
corn is 94.8; winter wheat, 962; spring
wheat GAL; rye. $50; oats, 87.6; barley.
90.9; potatoes, 95.3; tobacco, Oil.
The increase in the corn acreage is
more apparent than real. A compromise
is made with the breadth harvested last
year, when the loss was heavy on on ac-
count of the drought, The present re-
turn makes the acreage slightly less than
iS,0O0,0O0 acres, or somewhat smaller than
the area actually planted last year.
The crop is late in all sections on ac-
count of drought and unfayorable
conditions at the planting and the
cool weather during May, but June was
warmer, with abundant moisture. and
the crop was coming forward rapidly July
lst.
In the Ohio and the Upper Mississippi
Valleys, the progress during the month
was especially gratifying, but in Kansas
and Nebraska considerable damage re-
suited from the excessive rainfall In
many districts the June rains prevented
proper working, leaving the fields foul.
But few days OF sunshine would rem
edy this.
The general average is a fraction below
that of 1888 and 1890, and slightly above
that of 1889. The average of the surplus
States are; Ohio, 93; Indiana, 95: Illinois.
96; Iowa, "a; Missouri, IS; Kansas, 81:
Nebraska, 80.
The condition of winter wheat returned
is practically the same as in June. The
crop is harvested except in its more
northern habitat.
With condition the highest reported
since 1879, with one exception, the aver
ages of the principal States are: Penn
sylvania, 9S; Ohio, 97 Michigan, 80; In
diana, SO; Illinois, SO; Missouri, 99; Kan
sas, 81; California, 9S
The condition of spring wheat has i'm
proved during June, the advance being
In Minnesota and the Dakotas, where the
month was exceptionally favorable. The
clnch bugs have appeared in the North
west, but with no appreciable damage
yet.
The State averages are: Wisconsin,
Y; Minnesota, SO; Nebraska, 96; Iowa,
50; North Dakota, 9S; South Dakota, 81;
Washington, SO.
Oats improved during the month, but
the general average is the lowest reported
since 1879, except 1887 and last year, when
the July condition was SIG, followed by
practical failure of the crop. The poor
condition generally is the result of
aiouSiAo SeAiiy III VIC SedSoI; lue pFeSeHG
improvement having followed seasonable
rains and the high temperature of June.
The first return OF potatoes shows the
condition higher than the average of re-
cent years, while that of tobacco is higher
than in any year since 1856. The fruit
prospect is very flattering in New Eng
land and the North Atlantic States and
west of the Missouri River to the Pacific
Coast. The crop in Ohio and Michigan

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1O.-The E.raD1-

the discovery of enormous caverns in
Josephine County, Oregon, about twelve
miles north of California, and about
forty miles from the coast.
The exploring party which visited the
caverns reached them by way of

travelled thirty miles to Kirby, and then
proceeded ito the mountains with pack

SureS IN a great limestone bluff. This
limestone extends for miles, and appears
massive and solid outside, but is honey
combed within, with cracks and crevasses,
which extend for miles without any ap-
parent order or system.
Many of the passages within the cave
are described as of great beauty, contain
ing IN them semi-tTansparent stalactites,
giant milk-white pillars, and pools and
streams OF pure, clear water. 4 creek
flows from the main opening to the cave,
and 1t was here that the party entered.
They spent week in exploring the
cave, and found innumerable passages
and chambers, and several miles from
the entrance they discovered a small
lake of clear water and waterfall thirty
feet in hight. All kinds of grotesque
figures were found in the various cham
bers. a large number of flash light
photographs were taken.
The only sign of animal life was found
a short distance from the entrance. where
few bones indicated that bears had used
it for a lair and carried their prey there.
II was estimated that the main BODY of
the cave was fifteen hundred feet from
the surface of the mountain, and the
cavern itself appeared TO be fully as large
as the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.

SEATTLE, July 1O.-General Curry had

Curry telegraphed Colonel Haines to re-
quest the County Commissioners to meet
him to-day.

ting that its mission has utterly failed.
The strikers are reported to be losing
heart, and the more conservative of them
are anxious to go to work. They are only
restrained by the more radical, who be-
come belligerent as their cause becomes
more desperate.
AT a conference this evening between
the county officials and General Curry
and Colonel Haines of the militia it was
decided to reduce the force at the mines
from five to three companies, leaving the
cavalry in the field, as Governor Ferry
thinks the civil power has not been ex-
hausted.
No further attempt viii be made to
disarm the strikers. Sheriff Woolery
viii send additional deputies to each

Improvement Company says that the
number of arms at Franklin has been
exaggerated, and that all arms have been
surrendered. Shipments of coal from the
several mines daily increase, showing

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The Bureau of

there will be no delay in settling the

natural gas from the Mercer County
fields. The largest company in the field
drilled in eighty-six wells at a cost of
SlS5,000. Twenty of the wells have been
exhausted and fifteen more will be aban-
bonded within sixty days, leaving fifty
one wells on the line, and some of these
not very strong. Several of the wells
were tested and it was found that tine rock
pressure was A0 to 275 pounds TO the
square inch.
When the field was first opened the
pressure was from 275 to $50 pounds. An

weak to force gas as long distance as at

ply for central Ohio will soon lie eX-
