Mr. Schattenfels said:

Sallinger's room, and heard pistol shots

door Of the room and demanded ii to be
opened. Sallinger answered in a very weak
voice, i am dying; Frauenthal Is dead;

the station, told Sergeant Wilmes the
story, and he and Officer Downey rcsurned
with me. The sergeant demanded that the

that he could not, saying he was dying.
The sergeant broke open the door sal

The proprietor Of the boarding house
says that the young men were crazy on the
subject Of hypnotism. The cause Of the

] young men are being developed. Saliinger,
il seems, had Frauenthal under hypnotic
influence, and in any matter that came up
the latter followed his instruction. 80 the
