ONE DEAD RUSTLER.
Dud Champion Killed by Ranch
Foreman in Northern Wyo-
ming.
The Tragedy Evidently an Echo
OF the Old CattIemen's
War.

DOUGLASS, Wyo., May 20. = Mike
Shaugnessey, foreman of the Seventy
even ranch, siXty-fve miles northeast
of here, rode into town this morning
and surrendered to the sheriff, stating
that he had killed Dud Champion near
his ranch last night in self-defense.
Dud was brother of Nate Champion,
killed by the cattlemen who invaded
Johnson county last spring. About
one week ago he was discovered in am
bush near the Ogalalla ranch by two
cowboys with a Winchester and SIX
shooter by his side. He questioned
the boys closely about w. G. r.
vim, manager of the ranch. who
is now in Chicago, and said he
would probably get even with some
of the invaders before he was much
older. Monday night ShughneSSey sat
on his horse near his ranch talking to
some of his employees. Champion rode up
and stopped near him, having his hand
on his revolver. Shaughnessey said,
"Champion. is it true you have threat
ened to kill me on sight?' 81 never
said it," remarked Champion, at the
same time pulling his gun. Shaugh-
pessey was too quick for him, however,
and Champion fell with a ball through
his body. A second shot killed him.
The body was brought to Lusk, where
an inquest will be held.

GOOD AS HIS WORD.
e. +. ToWner Blows His Brains
Out at the Hollenden Hotel,
Cleveland.
He Had Threatened Suicide in
Case Widow Refused to
Marry Him.

CLEVELAND, o., May %. - E. E..
well-dressed man, blew out his brains
with revolver at the HOlIenden this
evening. The story back of it is nm
doubtedly startling one, but
is enveloped in mystery. To-
day a fine-looking woman went to
the Kennard house and, after engaging
a room sent for an attorney. Col. j. o.
WinShip responded. She told him that
she was Mrs. +. Allen, of San Francisco,
a widow. and that she was being pur-
sued by Towner, who wanted to marry
persisted in her refusal. TOWner
appeared at the hotel while they
were in consultation, and as
Mrs. Allen was evidently ill, Winship
spirited her out Of the house and sent
her to the Huron Street hospital.
Towner departed after asking for Mrs.
Brown" and finally picking out Mrs.
Aliens name on the register as that of
the person he was seeking. He then
removed his effects from the IT.
wing house, where he and Mrs.
Allen had been stopping, and after en-
gaging room at the Hollenden, shot
himself. He left note to the coroner
saying that he died by his own hand,
and that Mrs. Brown would pay his fu-
neral expenses. He signed himself as
r. E. Townsend. On the register of the
HolIenden he wrote his place of resi-
dence as Denver. Mrs. Allen refused
to be interviewed, and the only means
OF identifying the man is the woman's
declaration to the attorney that his
name was Towner, and that he has a
brother at Kingfisher, Oklahoma.
Towner and Mrs. Allen travelled to-
gether from the West to Cleveland.

RIPoN, Wis, May 22.-Last night an
nfuriated mob met at the residence of
Lorenzo Smith, farmer living about
two miles south of Berlin, for the al
legged purpose of tarring and feathering
Smith and his wife. The maraud-
ers forced their way into the house
by breaking down doors and smash

Battle Has Been Fought and
Won in the National
Commissions
The Struggle Was Bitter,
Lasting From II a. m. to
$3.50 p. m,
Passive Consent Given to
Throwing the Gates Wids
Open.
Courts the Only Power Which
Can Keep the Gates
Shut.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Sunday opening
won the day in the national commission
after one of the most exciting debates
that has agitated this unusually quiet
scene. Large crowds of spectators, peo-
pie interested in Sunday opening and
the wives and friends of commissioners,
thronged the rooms all day. The session
began about II o'clock with the question
of the adoption or rejection of the ma
jority report for the closing of the fair
on Sunday or the minority report, which
provides for the opening of the gates
ION the first day of the week commonly
called Sunday" The "closers" were
championed by Mr.. Massey, of Della
ware, and the "openers" by Gen. st.
Clair, of West Virginia. Mr.. Burton,
of Kansas, spoke in favor Of the open
ing, as also did Messrs. Eibeck, Of
Iowa; Groner, of Virginia, and others.
Commissioners Hundley. of Alabama;
TouSley, of Minnesota, and others sup
ported Mr.. Massey's report, and the Ques-
ton was brought to vote about half
past 5. The matter was focused into a
motion made to substitute the minority
for the majority report, andit prevailed.
The motion to modify the new rule pre-
sented by the local directory providing
for the opening of the fair Sunday
failed to carry by the statutory major
ity of fifty-fve. Thus the commits
sion gave passive consent to the
opening or the gates, as there seemed
to be no other alternative. The matter
is now entirely in the hands of the local
directory, and. as the commission did
not modify the new rule presented by
them. the local board can open the gates
of the fair unless the proper Judiciary
authority should intervene on the part
of the government and assert that the
souvenir coin act had been violated.
1 he council OF administration has de-
cided to open the fair to the public three
evenings each Week-Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday evenings being deSig-
mated. On each of these evenings there
will be concerts and electric displays.

turn of affairs when Vice Presidend De
Young decided that the Sunday closing
rule of the local directory must stand,
and declare that they were trapped by
skillful parliamentarianS. The law of
congress creating the fair provides
that the local directors shall pre-
pare rules governing the fair, and
that they shall be submitted to
the national commission for mod
ification. the vote of majority of the
commission being necessary to change
the rule. The Sunday closers had gone
blndly ahead on the supposition that
Sunday opening would have to get fifty
five votes to give validity to the new
rule prepared by the local board. not
thinking that unless they developed
enough strength to modify the rule it
would stand. Fifty-fve votes were nee
essary to modify the rule, and the Sun
day closers mustered but tWenty-nine.
