out small blaze in the European hotel.
Charles Werner, head hoseman of the
Lookout Fire department, was at the

TRENTON, April 20. : The body Of
Alexander Dunn, president of the Dunn
Hardware Paint and Oil company, who
mysteriously disappeared on March 20,
has been found in an inlet in the Della
ware river ut the head of Duck island,
just opposite Bordentown. Owing to
the financial condition in which the
company's finances were discovered it
was popularity supposed that President
Dunn was an absconder to the tune of
something over 100000. The greater
part of the excitement was not over the
bare announcement of the finding of the
body, but the finding on the body Of
many valuable documents and papers.

BRAN HAS COMPANY.
Charged With Completely I'm tho
Richards Murder.

Cnargeu with Completely In the
Richards Murder.
ELKToN, Md, April 20.-Frank Fer
guson, man against whom suspicion of
completely in the Richards murder has
been directed, was arrested Saturday
afternoon at Ogleton, hamlet two
miles east of Newark, DEL, on war
rant from Lancaster county, Pa, where
he had been held ON charge of stealing
horses and escaped from Jail. Ferguson
was arrested at the home Of his brother.
When informed that he was suspected
of the Richards murder he seemed very
nervous. It is claimed he was in the
neighborhood of the Richards house on
the night of the murder, and that he
has bad reputation.
Ferguson was last seen at Colora pre-
vious to the murder. He left immedi-
ately, and had been in hiding. He is q
little lame, probably from the scuffie
with Richards. He was brought to this
place and lodged in Jail by Sheriff Boyd.
A strong point against Ferguson is
furnished by the testimony of two coll
ored men that on the night of April 10
they were walking along the road to-
wards the Octor;tro creek when they
came across buggy hidden in the
bushes. The horse, which was tied to
tree, they recognized as belonging to
Ferguson. This road runs parallel with
the road leading to Richards residence.
Conductor Eellar, of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore road, yester-
day positively identified Bran as the
party he saw at PerTyville on the morn
ing of April 13, when the prisoner says
he was in Baltimore.

Seven Negro Murderers 20 Pay the
Penalty of Their Crime.
EUFMA. L T., April 20.-The coming
shooting Of the seven negroes for muir
der near Wewauks, fifty miles west of
here, Is creating some sensation, and
serious trouble is feared. They are to
be shot today unless the chief of the
Creek Nation interferes. 1t is reported
here that he has refused to do so. In the
Wewauka district the negro element is
very strong, and it is said they have de-
clared that the sentence shall not be
carried out. N'
The cause of the trouble is this: There
is in the Wewauka district what is
termed the Talsatown neighborhood,
which Is settled up almost entirely by
Indians. In another part Of the district
is what Is known as the Bruner settle
ment of negroes. In 1890 one of the
Burners was wanted by the Creek au-
thorities. Robert Reed and Wyiey
Walls, two Creek Indians, attempted to
capture him. Bruner resisted and was
killed. Reed and Walls then went to a
house near by, and while sitting on their
horses telling the people what had oc-
CURED they were surrounded by a crowd
of negroes and literally riddled with
bullets, their slayers leaving the bodies
where they fell.
Boss Riley, JEFF Brown, Cudge Bar
nett, Douglass Brown, Paro johnson,
Lake Andy and Price Hawkins were ar
rested, tried and convicted of the mur-
der, and these are the men who are to
