TWO YOUNG BOYS TIGHT AT PORT
HURON.

The Fourtsen-Y ar-Old Son OF Ex-County
Treasurer Burns Receives a Charge Of
Shot From . Double BarreIed GUN In
the Hands Of Ferguson Lauder-May

PORT HURON, Jan. 2.-The year 1894
was ushed in by cold blooded and pre-
meditated attempted murder. The
victim is the 14-year-old son OF the late
OK County Treasurer Burns, while Fer
guson Lauder, 10 years OF age, Is
charged with shooting him with ~
gauge double barreled shotgun.
That the tragedy is less than muir
der seems to be due only to the eager
ness of young Lauder to do the shoot

distance of about Is yards from the vic
tim. As it is Burns has nearly the

and will likely loose his eyesight.
Otherwise he is not thought to be dan
gerously injured.
The ARRAY took place on skating
pond in the Seventh ward, shortly after
B o'clock in the afternoon. The two
bows got into fight about some mat
ters, and Lauder came out second best.
To get even he went to Little's grocer y
store, got a shotgun, and returning he
watched his chance. Getting out OF range
of the other boys, he pointed the gun
full at Burns and fired. Burns dropped
to the ground, while Lauder made his
retreat.
The police were at once notified and
the force was sent out in search OF the
shooter. About two hours afterwards
Detective Buckridge captured him in
the west end of the tunnel yards OF the
Chicago and Grand Trunk railway, two
miles west of the city. He was caught
in the boxcar of freight train that
was just about to pull out, the officer

Great Destruction in the City OF In Rioja
Tho Dead Are Estimated at
e,OOO-An Entire village
Swallowed Up.

BUENos AYREs, Oct, S0.--A corre-
spondent at La Ri 1ja, capital of the
province of the same name, telegraphs
that the city has been ruined by
Sunday nights earthquake. The
churches, schools and public edifices
were all thrown down. The people
are camping out in the neighborhood.
The scene was horrible one, women
shrieking and faiuting on every hand
as the walls came crashing down. Two
sisters of mercy were killed and many
more are now entombed beneath the
ruins.
The governor fears that the killed
and wounded throughout the province
must number at least 1000, as many
of the outlying towns also suffered.
Not a house in town is without dam
age. 1t is reported that in various
parts of the province the ground
opened and geysers of boiling water
and mud spouted forth.
Couriers continue to arrive here with
news OF the damage wrought in the
various departments and towns. The
village of Del Arbordon has been COM
pletely swallowed up in the huge gaps
which opened in the ground
South of Buenos Ayres only slight
shock was felt. The wave appears to
have passed away to seaward near the
mouth of the La Plata river.

The two provinces are among the most pros

only about 1000 OF the inhabitants escaping
death in the catastrophe. Mendoza and San

Wisconsin Man Confesses to the Murder
of a ConfldlnH Woman.

OF a Conhdlng Woman.
VIRoQUA, Wis, Oct. 20. The story oil
a cruel and cold-blooded murder was
told Monday within the walls of the
county jail, when S. S. Buxton con.
fessed that he murdered Mary A. Jonas
in her lonely home near the Kickapoc
river. A week ago the woman's
body was found suspended by stout
rope to the rafters of her house, and
1t was reported that she had committed
suicide. A brother of the victim re.
fused to accept the theory of suicide
and caused the arrest of Buxton. Mon.
day the prisoner broke down and con.
fessed that he had killed the woman
by hanging. Buxton was taken to
Sparta Monday, pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to life Imprisonment.
Buxton lived near the Jonas farm
and did work for the lone spinster. 1t
was in 1891 that he conceived the idea
OF running the woman. He did this
through a series of letters purporting
to come from a witch which in reality
were written by himself. These
he carried to the simple and confiding
woman, and she was led to believe
that Buxton would in due time pro-
cure divorce from his wife and they
would then marry. The letters which
charmed Miss Jonas were found in the
house and are in the possession of the
authorities. There had also been con-
siderable talk between the parties
about putting Buxton's out of the
way.
Buxton became tired of the Jonas
woman and caused her to believe that
the witch said that if she would con-
sent to be slightly hanged by the
neck it would have the effect of killing
his wife and they would then be free
from her. The woman consented to
try the experiment, and about two
weeks before the murder they went
into the second story of the house.
Miss Jonas placed herself in a stand
ing attitude upon a chair. Buxton ap-
piled the rope to her neck and over
the beam above and tied her hands be-
hind her.
He says his heart failed him at that
moment, and he let her down with
only a slight Tightening of the rope.
On the fatal afternoon of Sunday, Oc-
Jonas home and she consented to try
the hanging experiment again, he
having informed her that Mrs. Bux-
tons neck had been nearly broken at
the time the performance was first
gone through and he was sure one
more trial would finish her.
AT the second attempt to carry out
the strange plan to kill the woman
Buxon did not weaken. All the pre-
liminiaries were repeated as before,
when Buxton pulled the chair from
under her. The body dropped, her
feet touching the floor. He raised her
feet from the floor and held them till
life was extinct.
The murderer is about So years old
and has a wife and two children. He
removed here from Ohio a few ears
since, where it is reported he bore a
bad name.

LONGS PENSION.

Michigan Jurist Declared to Have Re-
ceived $1,000 More Than Was Right.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The reargu-
ment of the Long pension case in the
district court of the District of Colum-
bia does not awaken very much in
terest. Commissioner Lochren is con-
fident that the same opinion will be
reached. In his annual report the
commissioner reviews the Long case
at some length, and says:
1T is quite clear that under honest but mis-
taken Interpretation OF the pension laws by
prior commissioners this pensioner has OBJ
tained from the treasury more than $1,000 to
which he was never lawfully entitled. Should
he make good his assertions that he will take
this case for decision to the supreme court OF
the United States he may, when it shall be
finally decided, consider the proprlety of re-
turning this money to the treasury"
In the same report the commissioner
discusses the work of special exam
iners, which has been criticised in
congress and elsewhere, and says:
The special examination division aided as
It Is by the law division, constitutes the main
protection which the government has against
fraud and imposition. Most Of the pension at
torneys and claim agents are capable and
honorable, but some among them are the most
dishonest and unscrupulous of men, dealing
habitually in perjury, forgery and every species
of fraud. Without special examiners the vii
lainy OF such men would operate without
check or fear of detection and be generally
successful, 1t Is too often now in spite OF all
safeguards.
such men attract the unworthy as clients
the bounty jumpers, towards and deserterS
and the fraudulent maligners. AS many OF
their crimes are discovered, their fraudulent
cases overthrown and themselves and their
guilty confederates brought to punishment
by the work of special examiners (there
were 1914 convictions for pension frauds
last Year,, it is but natural that such
men and their clients should be loud and
unceasIng in decrying special examiners as
spies and seeking with the aid OF INSCRIPTIONS
partisan newspapers and politicians to create
d prejudice against special examiners in the
minds OF deserving pensioners and Others The
worthy and deserving soldiers are still modest
and in the race for pensions are elbowed TO the
rear by the unworthy in their continued strug-
gle for pensions and increases, us when oper-
ating for bounties."
