A MURDER IN THE WOODS.
Pat Ryan Killed and Mutilated North Of
Brainerd.

Pa Ryan Killed and Mutilated North Of
Brainerd.
BRA1NERD, Mimi, Special Telegram, July
4.-News has been received here of a cod
blooded murder which was committed at
George Barclays lumber ranch, thirty-five
miles up the river from his place. The
details are very meager as yet. Phillip
Provost, the courier who brought the news,
stayed only long enough to notify the cor
oner, and Sheriff Spalding has gone to the
scene of the bloody tragedy.
The murdered mans name was Pat RYAN,
we'll known III Brainerd and along the
river, where he has worked for some wears.
His body was found behind Barclays barn
cut almost beyond recognition.
Several stones are afoat as to
who committed the deed, one being
that a mar named Ellis and Ryan were on
a drunk; that in a fight Ellis murdered
him, to substaDtiate which it is said that
Ellis kni.e was found sticking in his body.
Another story is that Bunga Buck, a no.
torious Indian in these parts, enticed RYAN
into the woods behind the barn and stabbed
him to death. The sheriff will return to-
morrow, at which time the mystery will
probably be cleared up. The body of Ryan
arrived from Barclays, and was buried to-
night on account of decomposition, having
laid since Friday night. An inquest has
been held, but no news Of the decision.
Fred Ellis and his squaw wife are under
arrest; also three Indians. The party will
arrive in Brainerd by daylight tomorrow.

OLYMPIA, WASH, Special Telegram, July
14.-Gov Ferry, who sat in the first Repub-

innate friend of Abraham Lincoln, has
been interviewed relative to the contro-
yersy between John G. Nicolay and Editor
Mcclure; Gov. Ferry says both Nicolay
and Mcclure are wrong in some points.

my call upon the president
but he gave all evasive answer. Later on I
again expressed the desire to know whom
he desired to see nominated, and again he
answered evasively. Just before leaving

question to his attention. This time he
said, 1t is sometimes advisable to leave

CAMpAELL OR KLINE,
'Anti-Campbell Men Combine Under tn
Cry Of 'sAnythinc tn Heat Ca,,rh.II

A~nti-Campbell Men Combine Under the
Cry Of Anything to Beat Campbell .
CLEv ELANDs Ohio, Judy 4.-The delegates
to the Ohio Democratic convention are
rapidly congregating from all sections OF
the state, and as the decisive day draws
nearer interest in the event deepens with
every passing hour.
1t is now conceded by all the neutral and
unprejudiceu that Gov. James E. Campbell
will be renominated for governor on the
first ballot. His opponents are Lawrence
I. Neal Of Chillicothe and Virgil P. Kline
or Cleveland.
Up to this time Neal has been his p-inci-
pal competitor, the only apparent follow
ing OF Kline being the Cuayhoga county
delegation, which was instructed Tor the
Cleveland lawyer largely as y matter of city
and county pride. But the leaven OF roli-
tics works queer results, and the boom in q
few brief hours has assumed q proportion
which makes that gentleman apparently
the only formidable opponent OF Gov.
Campbell.
The logic Of the situation has caused all
anti-Campbell ner to combine nnder the
battle cry Of anything 10 beat Campbell"
and The question with them is no longer
which of the governors competitors has
the most votes, but which is the most avail
able candidate and the most Likely to sue
coed as a dark horse? To this query there
is little division OF sentiment. Kline is alb
sent on his way to Europe, too far away to
| give pledges and promises, and his pro-
nounced low tariff convictions and
eminent campaigning qualities mark him
as the most available candidate Of the OPP
| position, since the ieud engendered be-
tween the Neal and Campbell factions gives
the former little hope OF increasing his
strength in the convention. Mr.. Kline has
managed his campaign
WITH ~CoNsuMMATE DIPLOMACY.
When his home county instructed for
him he received the news jocularly and
gave no evidence of being ,an!-earness as
pirant for ~gubernatorial honors. On the
contrary, he was ON terms of wsrmest
friendship with both Campbell and Neal,
the leading competitors, and one of the
most serious charges which the absence of
the Cuyhoga county candidate makes it
impossible for him to answer is that he re-
Gently on separate occasions pledged his
support to both Campbell and Neal. He
has left a letter, however, with Maj. ". W.,
Armstrong OF Cleveland, which will be
read in the convention on Wednesday. de-
cIaring his willingness to serve his PARTY if
selected by the convention as the candidate
for governor.
1t now looks as though the anti. Camp
bell delegates, when nominations are de-
clared in order on Wednesday, will ask for
all informal ballot, but that the governors
friends will oppose this and demand busi-
ness and a formal ballot. In thise event
