Atchison, Kas., Sept. 14.-Meagre de-
tails of a double murder are just re-
ceived from a remote part of Jackson
county, Kansas. Joseph Strong, an old
resident, who had the reputation of
being miser, lived with his 14-year-old
daughter in tumble-down cabin on a
handsome farm, miles from any other
house.
Strong, though supposed to be quite
well-to-do, was known to have no bank
account and the supposition was that
gold is hidden about his house. This led
those who knew him to urge that he pro-
vide himself with better protection than
was his custom.
He paid no attention to their appeals,
however
For several days past neither he nor
his daughter had been seen, and an in
quiry into his condition resulted. His
cabin was found in ashes. A further
search revealed the charred remains of
the couple. Nothing was found to lend
a. clue to the authors of the crime, for
such it undoubtedly was.
It. is believed the robbers took all
the money they could find, and then
fired the dwelling to cover the crime.

Goods Transaction in New York.

Goods Transaction in New York.
New York, Sept. 14-Lee yelling
reiter and Henry Schairmann, broth
ers-in-law, who describe themselves as
farmers from Denoes, ILL.,, arrived in
avowed purpose to invest all in green
goods. The farmers were met at the
depot by Henry Rosenbaum and his
called their names. Each "steerer"
took one of the guys" and led him up
West street to Canal street and along
to the Picus hotel. They entered the
hotel and went to a room on the second
floor, where the steerers asked them
how much money they had and how
much green goods they wanted.
The farmers, who were afraid of be-
ing tricked, were cautious about COM
hitting themselves, and Rosenbaum
asked Wellinreiter to take walk with
him to see the "old man" Wellinreiter
consented and the two men left the
hotel while the other steerer and
Schairmann remained in the room.
Rosenbaum and Wellinreiter walked to
Watt street where they were met by
Acting-Captain O'Toole, of the Leon
ard police station, and Detectives North
croft and Taggert, who knew Rosen-
baum and suspected his business with
the other man. Captain O'Toole and
his men Immediately accosted the men
and after a few words placed them
under arrest and took them to Leonard
street station. Wellinreiter admitted
that he came to New York to buy
green goods" from Rosenbaum and
told what arrangements had been made
with the two steerers. The detectives
went to the hotel, but they found only
Schairmann there. The steerer had
gone. They took Scharmann into
custody. He, too, acknowledged the
nature of his business in New York.
He said he had told the steerer that
Wellinreiter had all the money and the
fellow left him in disgust. The farmers
had a come on" circular which they
said they had received from Rosen-
baum. and they said they had CORES
pended with him for several weeks.
The trio were taken to the Tombs
police court last night and Rosenbaum
was held in $1,000 bail for examination
on a charge of advertising counterfeit
money for sale. The farmers were held
for witnesses.

TRUMBO's COUP d. ETAT
THE COLONEL HAS PROBABLY SCI
CURED THE GARDo HOUSE. Y
The University Club Had Practically
Arranged to Lease the Place..
When the Aspirant For Senator
iaI HonOrs Slipped In.

1t is believed that Colonel Trunbo Is
always awake TO the interests of Utah.
and Colonel Trumbo is now planning
a coup d'etat that will outshine in
brilliancy all his former efforts. This
time. so rumor has it, his active brain
has conjured the plan to lease the Gar
do house. ostensibly for residence,
but. in reality. for Republican hea6-
quarters. That such a move would be
another boost to his vaulting arflbi-
tlon the colonel does not doubt, so says
Dame Rumor.
About six weeks ago the University
club entered into negotiations in refer
ence to securing the historic mansion
for club house. "Barkin was wilIin'"
and the matter was practically settled
Mr.. Mccormick having agreed to release
the club from the lease of the rooms
in the Mccormick building on condi-
ton that satisfactory substitute for
the lessee be furnished. which the club
was ready to do. But on the evening
preceding the day when the club was
TO mold meeting to make all final ar
rangements. the chairman of the scon-
mlttee in charge of the matter was
astonished at receiving communion
ton stating that the negotiations must
be declared off for the present. The
was signed by r.
s. Campbell. secretary of the.
receiver. No reason for the
change of purpose was given i'm
the letter, but an explanation was made
later that H. w. Lawrence had re-
signed the receivership and the an
pointment of J. R. Winder had been
made. The change in the receivership
would at least postpone the negotia-
tons.
Colonel j. r. Winder was at the
bishops office yesterday afternoon and,
on being asked the status of the affair.
SAID MS predecessor had leased the
property to William B. Preston and
he had made no change in the matter.
He knew nothing whatever about Colo
mel Trumbos business.
Mr.. Preston stated that ne had SUBJ

days since but did not know what dis
position that gentleman would make 90

Perilous Trip of Passengers Down
Thief River.


Minneapolis. Sept. 14-Kirby Bar
mum, who owns farm near the west
ern border of the Great Red Lake In
dian reservation in the northern part
OF the state, has just returned from a
per1lous trip down Thief river, which
skirts that reservation on the west.
me trip was made in a small passen-
ger steamer that plies between the In
dian agency and Thief River falls, a
distance of 120 miles. Fully half of the
trip was made between the walls of
flre. Barnum says the flames jumped
the Thief river and cut swath through
the dense forest, fully sixty miles wide.
The whole country is afiame The
steamer was forced to go three and
four miles at a time and then every-
body would get off and stand in the
water until the fire and heat abated
somewhat. Several times the boat was
af1re. The water in the river had been
raised to such a temperature by the
hre that its surface was covered with
millions of dead fish.
Bear, deer and other large game were
fleeing from the flames in great con-
fusion. Many small canoe parties of
Indians were encountered making their
way down the steam as best they could
There has probably been loss of life
among them. Barnum says the fire
originated in blaze set by a man who
tried to get control of some hay land
from the government but failed He
hired two men to fire it. The flames
soon spread to the forest and have
been burning ever since.
