be driven away. Almy was SO sur.
rounded by officers that he was scarcely
visible and rush was made for the
carriage, which promised for a minute
to overturn it. The officers finally got
the wagon cleared, the horses were
whipped into rapid pace, and Almy
was taken swiftly to the Wheelock
hotel in advance of all pursuers.
There was grand rush Of the several
hundred teams which soon arrived in
the village. Almy was taken into the
dining room at the head OF the stairs on
the first floor.
The doors were opened and the people
were allowed to file through the room.
The stream was kept up till 1900 had
passed, when Almy tainted and the
doors were closed. An examination OF
the murderer's body showed that he had
been shot three times, twice in the left
leg below the knee, the lower shot break
ing the large bone. One shot scooped Q
hole out OF the top Of his head, but did
not touch the skull.
Almy says there is nothing in his
past career that is bad, except that he
had gambled some. Hewill be arraign-
ed before Judge Cobb tomorrow proba-
bly, in the afternoon on q warrant sworn
out by N. A. Frost.
The Associated Pressreporter had an
interview with Almy while he lay on q
cot in room at the Wheelock House.
He shows the effect Of his hiding in his
thin, pale face. He says he killed Chris
tie, but had no idea OF committing rape.
After he killed the girl he went direct
to Mr.. Warden's barn, and was there
whenher bodywas brought to the house.
From his hiding place in the barn he
had full view Of the house at the time
OF the funeral. He says he has been
about the premises ever since, making
frequent visits to Christie's grave by
night and moving about for necessary
food,

LARAMIE, wYo., Aug. 9O.-J. Cromp-
ton, Union Pacific station agent at
Carbon, went on duty yesterday morn

OF the night before, Half an hour later

rHE Holy COAT

Exposed to View Mt the Cathedral Mt
Trevcs-Thousands Touch the Garment
In the Hope That Their Ailments May
Vanish.
BERLIN, Aug, 2o.-The garment known
as the "Holy Coat" was exposed to view
this morning in the Cathedral at
Treves. Two knights OF Malta in full
costume with drawn swords in their
hands stood on either side OF the
shrine enclosing the Holy Coat case
which was surrounded by tall lighted
candles on handsome candlesticks and
surmounted by large gold cross.
There was an impressive scene in the
sanctuary, over a hundred priests
assisting in the ceremonies which were
grand in the extreme.
The cathedral was packed to the
doors with people. The interior was
well worth seeing.
The unwilling of the relic made a
deep impression on the worshipers.S
Many were overpowered by their feel
ings and several woman tainted. The
procession passed the shrine OF the pill
grimage. Contact with the relic was
accompanied by low hum OF pater-
nosters and aves.
Among the pilgrims are aged Grip
pies and sufferers from almost every
complaint.
Treves is overaowing with PILGRIMS
and visitors whose curiosity alone has
been excited. The streets are filed
with professions OF all descriptions, and
sacred banners, crosses, lighted candles
and pictures OF the coat are to be seen
on all sides.
The coat is visible in the body OF the
cathedral and is much more plainly
seen than upon the former occasion Of
its exhibition.

nA1NSIAKERs SUCCESSFUL


Two Good Heavy Showers Produced in Ten
Days by Artificial Means-Thcy ppserve
Credit.
MIDLAND, TEx.,Aug. 9o.-Gen. Dryea-
forth and his party have again achieved
success in their efforts to produce rain
fall by artificial means, and all this regi-
on is rejoicing in heavy and wide
spread rainstorm which insures winter
grass and averts the distress which q
few weeks more OF dry weather would
have brought. This is the second heavy
rain on Norris ranch, which has fallen
inside OF eight days besides several
light showers, and there seems to be no
reasonable doubt but the rainmakers
deserves much OF the credit especially
for the copiousneSs OF the fall.

Alliance Men Lose.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 3.-Dispatches
from Kansas show that the Alliance will
not hold its own at to-day's election. Re-
turns are very slow in coming in and forty
seven counties out Of 106 have been heard
from. These forty-seven counties
are scattered all over the
state and represent every political phase.
In only two of them have the Alliance made
clean sweep, in Harper and Lynn. Harper
county has always been Alliance, and Lynn
was a strong Alliance county last year. The
counties show almost invariabe Re-
publican gains. In the counties the
Republicans appear to have regained their
foothold, while in the cities the alliance
has made slight gains drought the Citizens
Alliance, but not enough to compensate
them for their losses in the rural districts.
In judicial districts returns indicate that
the Alliance has met a wholesale defeat.
Republicans and Democrats combined
against Alliance candidates for judges and
voted for either Republican or Democrat.
