Did Ei1zsimmnns KilI snell2

New ORLEANS, Feb 6.-There Is a
possibility that the murderer of Million
aire Smell, of Chicago, instead of being
the much hunted and frequently fonnd
Tascott, is Fitzsimmons. While at work
on the trail of the fugitive evidence was
discovered that leads to the belief that
Fitzsimmons was undoubtedly in Chi
cago when the Smell murder was com
mitted and he left there about that time.
Since then he would never go near Chi
cago and has told his friends many times
that that was the only city in the United
States that he would not visit.

Caught ia i snowsiide.

LEADvILLE, Colo, Feb. g. George
Gillespie, a woodchopper, arrived from
Bucks Gulch, twelve miles from here,
and gives an account Of an awful snow
slide, in which Pat Mcguire and Jim
Cronan are supposed to have persisted.
Both men were working in the Deer
Dodge property, running a tunnel.
Nearly every day the men visited the
woodchopper camp, but not being seen
for week, Gillespie and two other men
went over to see what was wrong, and
found that large snoWslide had partly
destroyed the cabin, while the tunnel
was completely blocked with snow. II
is evident that the men were in the tun-
mel when the slide occurred. A rescuing
party is digging, but as the snow Is very
deep, it will take some time to get in.
Gillespie stated that he has no hopes Of
finding the men alive.

House Guarded By Police?
WASHINGTON, Feb. g. Unofficial in
teIligence has been received Of the SEN
fencing, at Valparaiso, of the men con-
yicted of participation in the assault on
the Baltimore sailors. Little surprise is
expressed at the mildness of the punish
ment inflicted.
Carlos Arena, alias Gomez, gets geo
days imprisonment, which includes $40
days for assaulting Turnbull, who died
of his wounds, 300 days for disorderly
conduct, 90 days for carrying concealed
weapon and 20 days for giving false.
name.
Jose Ahumada gets 500 days for his
part in the assault on Turnbull, and
FREDERICK Rodriguez 140 days for wound
ing Boatswain's Mate Riggin, the other
murdered American.
As stated in the report after the in
quiry, 1t is claimed that Riggin died
from shot fired by a party unknown,
and not from the wound inflicted by
Rodriguez. However, the Chilean law
allows that Higgins family may obtain
damages from Rodriguez as may Turn
bulls from Gomez.
The department expects to hear from
Minister Egan officially as to the result
of the finding in the Baltimore's sailors
assault case. The sentenced as con-
tanned in the press dispatches are
thought to be quite light, and the fact
that no one is held responsible for Rig
gins death provokeS some criticism in
official circles.
Concerning Mr.. Egan's House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Elm the absence
of definite information respecting the
reason for placing police guard around
the United States legation in Santiago,
as reported by the correspondent of the
London Times, officials OF the state de-
partment are inclined to doubt the cor
RICHNESS of the report. If it be true,
however, they look upon it as friendly
intervention in behalf of Mr.. Egan
against the probable assaults of some I'M
ruly characters in the city, disposed still
to hold unfriendly sentiments toward
the representative of this government.
IlGpDItB 1TUAl DfttltlhtSO btlCs pttob AGN AttJ p
have all agreed that the feeling towards
Mr.. Egan has greatly improved, espec-

arriving in the South Atlantic, how

amicable with Chile it is probable that
neither vessel win return to Valparaiso,
