CHARLESTON, w. Va, November 16.
Early this morning, DR.. A. E. AuIIz,
a leading physician o., Montgomery,
FayetJe county, was called from his bed
TO attend what was alleged to be an
urgent case on the opposite side Of Nor
ris creek. This was about 3 O'Clock,
aud when the Doctor did not return al
?, bis family began a search for him.
About @ o'clock a man passing over
Morris creek bridge, saw the dead body
OF the Doctor on the jagged rocks on
the shore Of the stream fifty
feet below. An examination
was made which showed that
there had been a severe struggle on the
bridge and that the doctors coat had
been torn 10 several places, also that he
had been struck with some blunt instru-
ment several times The fall upOn the
rocks had left hardly a whole bone 10
his body. Persons liying near the bridge
heard screams between three aud four
o'clock, bur supposed 10 was some
drunken miner. The theory is that
members OF the mob indicted for mur-
der during the coal riots, have put Dr.
Au.tz out OF the way 90 keep him from
telling q dressing their wounds.

stop = Daring Move.
New YORK, November 16.-The men
in the National Base Ball League who
want to split up the circuit have almost
given up their task. The Western men
got together and blocked the deal by
agreeing to a change OF percentage.
When Rogers, OF the Philadelphia club,
asked that the 10 per cent payment 10
the League Treasury be abolished, the
Western clubs agreed to vote that way,
providing the receipts be divided on
so per cent basis. This
satisfied the Eastern men, who did not
care to show their hands too much, and
the matter became law. Thus the East
headed By the Philadelphia club, made
the very first move to bring about the
organization Of Eastern and Western
Leagues, although to those who cannot
see beyond their noses the situation Is
not so clear. In other words, the West
weakened, md by so doing convinced
the East that there will be an oppor-
tunity TO be grasped in the near future.
Consequently IL would be we'll TO keep
an eye on the movements OF the mag
mates.
By the new plan the big clubs get
away from thu practice OF paying more
than their shale OF the Leagues operat-
Tag expenses.

AN OPTICAL" ACCOUNT.

CoNSTANTINoPLE, November 16.-The
following official account OF the Arme-
nian troubles was issued to-day:
Some Armenian brigands, provided
with arms of foreign origin joined an
Kurd tribe for the purpose Of
committing excesses. They burned and
devatated several Mussulman villages.
As an instance OF the ferocity Of the
Armenians, IL is reported that they
burned alive -Mussulman notable.
Regular troops were sent TO the.scene
in order to protect peaceabe inhabitants
against these depredations.
The Ottomon troops not only protect
ed aud respected the submissive por-
tion Of the population and the women
and children, but they re-estaolished
order and tranquility. 1t is not true
that the Kurds seized the furniture,
effects aud cattle of the fugitive Arme-
mans. The latter took their effects to
the mountains before revolving.
The Armenian women at present with
the Kurds belong 10 the families OF the
brigands and went of their own accord
with their husbands to the insurgent
Kurds.
Respecting the villages alleged to
have been destroyed, it was the Armen-
ians who carried off all their belongings
before becoming brigands.

LOST IN THE WEST
Iowa People Who Have Wandered
Away From Home.
TOOK THE WRONG PATH
Several Persons Who Are Supposed
to BE In the West.

BUTTE, May 5.-Jacob Schaff of No.
239 Wabash avenue, Chicago, has writ
ten to the chief of police for informa-
ton concerning his brother, Fred @.
SHAFT, who, he says, lived in Butte and
Rochester, Madison county, for the last
nine years. The latter made his home
at one time with Mr.. Guenther here
and afterward lived at No. Gil South
Dakota street. For the last two years
he spent most of his time in Rochester,
where he was engaged in mining, COM
ing to Butte occasionally The brothers
corresponded regularly
In his last letter, which reached Chi
cago March /, Fred told his brother he
was suffering a good deal with a pain
in his side. On Sunday, March 10, he
telegraphed his brother for money,
telling him he was in trouble. Jacob
wired back asking him the nature of
the trouble, and he replied that he
would send the particulars by mail.
On March 20 Mr.. Schaff telegraphed
his brother S75, which he, or some one,
| received at the Western Union here.
His brother has heard nothing from him
since that time, and the letters ad
dressed to him here and at Rochester
have been returned unclaimed. Mr..
Schaff is very anxious about his brother
and fears that he has met with some
misfortune. The police will try and
locate the missing man.
l.. r. Foster of Creston asks the Butte
police to assist him in locating Henry
Zinner, a barber, who was in the city
about two years ago and has not since
been heard from. Mr.. Fosters daugh
ser, who was then under 10 years o
age, ran off with Zinzer from Des Moine
without marrying him, and her fathe
is very anxious to ascertain her presen
zinzer and the girl went to Ogden ant
then came to Butte. 1t is not believe,
that Zinzer has been in Butte for tw
years, but there is a suspicion that tn
: girl is still living here under an assume
name.
A letter has been received at polio
: headquarters from Lettie Jacobson c
No. 215 North Morgan street, Chicago
who asks for some information concern
ing her brother, Christian Jacobson
formerly of Spencer, Iowa, who is no.
believed to be in Butte.

A TALK FOR SILVER
French Delegates Speak in Favor of
international BimetaliSm.
SILVER SENATOR'S VIEWS
A Single Standard of Gold, Senator Hill
Says, Means the Impoverishment
of the People.

LONDON, May 3.-At the morning ses-
sion of the international bimetallic con-
ference at the Mansion house, Sir Will
lam H. Houldsworth read a paper on
"the effect upon agriculturalists manu-
facturers, wage earners, merchants
bankers and investors of all general
level prices" M. Therey, the French
delegate, warmly urged the establish
ment of an international btmetallic
league. The proposal was cordially
supported. A pamphlet upon the silver
question just published by Sir Joseph
McKenna, ex-director of the National
Bank of Ireland, is creating sensa-
ton in financial circles, and at the BIZ
metallic conference. 1t showed that
Lord Liverpool's legislation of 1916 was
simply a fraud. 1t is added that Lord
Liverpool made a paltry gain, not for
himself, but for the treasury. Sir
Joseph McKenna acquits Lord Liver
pool of intentional dishonesty and at
tributes the fraud to his stupidity. The
silverites claim that when this is under
stood it will strongly influence public
opinion in favor of the re-establishmeni
of bimetalism.
