CRUEL LOVE
Causes a Young Indanian to Take His
Own Life.
DRIVEN TO DESPERATION
Upon Discovering His Sweetheart Out
Riding With His Rival--The
Girl Insane.

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, IND, Oct. IL.
Walter Lane, one of the best known
young men in Charlottesville, COM
mitted suicide because his sweet
heart, Miss Maud Brooks, went
buggy riding with his rival. Lane
had been absent during the week
and returned to the city yester-
day afternoon. Almost the first
thing he saw was Miss Brooks
whisking past in a buggy with Geo.
Little. Lane walked at once to
hardware store where he purchased
a revolver. He then passed two
hours calling on friends and
bidding them an affectionate
farewell, saying he intended
taking his life. AT 8 o'clock in
the evening he went home and called
his father out in the yard. He stood
some minutes before his father, and
then suddenly pulled the weapon
from his pocket and placed it to his
right temple and fred. He fell for
ward into the arms of his agonized
parent, whose shrieks aroused the
neighborhood. The affair has caused
a profound sensation, and Miss
Brooks is almost insane.

MORE OUTLAWS KILLED.
A Bold Gang Of Horse Thieves Bite the
Dust in Idaho.
A DESPERATE BATTLE
Ragged Several Hours Before the Authori-
ties Succeeded In Putting Bullets
i'm All the Thieves.

BOISE Cry, IDAHO, Oct. 17.-Wil-
son Marvin, who has just came from
Deer Flat, in the northern portion
of Idaho, has given Deputy Sheriff
Norton, Of Emmett, details of
battle resulting in the complete
obliteration Of large gang of horse
thieves, who have long been source
of great loss to farmers and
stockmen. A large posse went out
in search of the thieves, who re-
turned to Samas, Prairie county,
and were operating with the utmost
boldness. The rustlers were cook
ing dinner when the posse came up
and surprised them. Finding them
selves surrounded the thieves shot FIVE
or six stolen horses and. entrenched
between the breastworks Of culver
ing flesh, made stubborn resistance
The bullets of the posse soon ended
the existence of the saddle animals
of the rustlers and wounded some of
the thieves, but the
fact that they had been
deprived of all hope of escape only
made them fight more desperately,
shooting all at long range, and after
hours of battle no fatalities save to
the horses resulted.
The posse then drew off and had
a consultation, after which MAORI
ty of the pursuers ranged them
selves in long line about a half
mile to the leeward of the thieves.
Then few men left on the wind
ward side to set the prairie grass afre.
The hunted men then started for
distant gulch in the attempt to es-
cape double danger that threatened
them. Three of the number were
wounded and the other rustlers
were left to perish. The rustlers
dropped everything except their
rifles, and ran toward
the ravine, firing as they
went, but were shot down before
they had gone 100 yards. The fire
did not destroy the wounded rusters,
though it singed off the hair, boards
and eyebrows, and burned the faces
and hands badly They begged
piteously to be allowed to die in
peace, but they, together with the
bodies of their six dead companions,
were strung to the limbs of big
tree and allowed to remain there to
become a prey for buzzards.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. lit is
stated here that Governor Groes will
be member Of Cleveland's cabinet
in case Of Democratic success and
his position will be that of post
master general. A friend of the

place if elected. And commenting
on his administration four years ago
he said Indiana would have been
similarly recognized at the time, but
for the fact that the state furnished
the vice president.

Populites Want Recognition.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Oct. IT,
The Populities have taken a new
tack in effort to get recognition in
the appointment of election
managers. In Bullock county about
ten days ago they had a probate
judge and clerk arrested for
appointing Republican in
stead Of a Populite to
represent the opposition TO Democ-
racy at Huntsville. They have now
filed application before Judge Bruce
in the United States court, praying
that the appointed board of Bullock
county be required to vacate the ap-
pointments heretofore made in certain
precincts, alleging in some precincts
the Peoples Party had no represent
atives, and in others the managers
were Democrats. Judge Bruce set
next Saturday for hearing of the
application for mandamus, and
cited the defendant officials to ap-
pear at that time.

Minister Johnson Resigns.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is --Secre-
tary of State Foster has received the
resignation of United States Consul
Johnson, located at Hamburg, but
declines to accept it. The resigna-
ton was brought about by reports
printed abroad that he fed from
Hamburg for fear of cholera,
while the fact is that his departure
was on account of injury
received in an accident, from
which he suffered greatly, to-
gether with an attack Of
dysentery, aud was ordered by his
physician to leave Hamburg. This
explanation was made to the depart
ment by friends. Hence the action
taken.

A Gas Explosion Kills Five Miners Out
right and Fatally Injuries
Six Others.
PowTsvILLE, Pa, Oct. IA
number of men were killed and in
iured by an explosion of gas at the
Philadelphia and Reading Com
pany's Sterling Run Colliery,
Shamokin. The number is known
to be eleven. OF these FIVE are
dead and the remaining six
so badly burned and
mutilated that small hopes
foI their recovery are entertained.
When the explosion occurred it
was accompanied by a very heavy
fall of coal, rock and debris, which
entombed FIVE miners. A rescuing
party was at once organized, but
owing to the unsafe condition of
that part of the mine in which the
explosion occurred, and the presence
of black damp, the progress was
necessarily slow. Relief parties
were formed, and early this morning
the last body was reached and
brought to the surface. Many
narrow escapes were made by miners
working in parts of the mine near
where the explosion occurred.

Political Surprise.

New YORK, Oct, 17.-One of the
political surprises of the day was
that Mr.. Croker told Gen. Martin
Mahon that he would not be the
nominee for congress in the Twelfth
district, but that the nominee would
be Gen. Daniel Syckles. The do
termination to nominate Gen.
Sycklesis said to have been prompted
by the fact that the general had been
exceedingly restless under the nomi-
nation of Cleveland and had shown
signs of bolting the ticket ever
since he made the address at the
Grand Army encampment at Wash
inpton.

The western Union story.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-No credence
is given here to the rumor from st.
Louis, that the Western Union was
about to absorb the Postal Tele-
graph Company.
~ have not heard of this alleged
purchase" said Superintendent +.
FL. Subbs, Of the Western Union,
when questioned.
"Such stories are started fre-
quently, but have never yet on
authority. do not think the
Western Union desires to purchase
the Postal. 1t is my opinion that
this country is too big for one tele-
graph company, and there will never
again be a time when the company
will have monopoly of the bust
ness. "
