after carefully counting it put it
into hand satchel of fine material
and walked away.
Chief Harrigan was seen by Mr..
Bell and given all tho facts, and
detectives were ordered to look out
for the missing dentist. His wife
is wild with grief, and his family
in Louisville have heard nothing of
him. Mr.. Bell, by way of sugges-
ton, said that u former school
chum of DR.. Keys, also a dentist,
now enjoying a lucrative practice
in the City of Mexico, had been for
a long time trying to persuade
Keys to come there and join him,
and he had often heard Keys say
how fast he could make money in
the Mexican capital. Probably he
has gone there.

Burglars Run Down.

On the night of the 18th instl
three burglars entered the Office of
the Star milling company, of Mich

but met with quite surprise, as
there was only 80 cents in the cash
box. The same safe was blown
open some time ago, and since then
no money has been left in it over
night. Detective Welch run the
burglars down and captured them.

The Treasurer Of Allen County Missing

Several weeks ago the town OF
Scottsville, in Allen county, was
thrown into n turmoil Of excite
ment on account of the mysterious
disappearance of Robert \. Wilson,
a young attorney of the place.
At the time it was generally be-
lioved that young Wilson had COM
mitted suicide in fit of despon-
dency on account Of his defeat in
the race for county attorney.
He held the position of trustee
of the jury fund, and was also
treasurer of the county. An exam
nation of his accounts as treasurer
discloses the fact that he is de-
faulter to the amount of nearly
$1,000. 1t is not believed that he
used the funds of the county with
any criminal intention.
He owns two houses in SCOTS
Vile worth probably $1,000, and
as far as can be learned had only
about $25 or $50 in money when he
loft. Some of his friends are still
disposed to think no has committed
suicide, but the general opinion
seems to be that he has either gone
TO Mexico or has joined the regular
army under an assumed name. He
left Young wife and one child.

KILLING AT STANTON.
John Killen Goes CUNNING for VIM. Ches-
ter and Gets Kil,ca Himself.

At Stanton, one day last week,
Town Marshal John Morton shot
and instantly killed John Killen,
a log merchant from the noun
tains. The story of the killing as
received here is that Killen, who
had sold number Of logs to Will
liam Chester, an extensive dealer
in lumber, came to the town Mon
day for the purpose of effecting n
settlement with Chester.
They disagreed as to the totals,
Killen claiming that Chester was
his debtor several hundred dollars
more than the dealer had stated.
Chester refused to recognize Kill
lens claim, whereupon the latter
left the place saying that he would
have his money or Chcster's life.
He consulted with several friends,
and the party adjourned to n bar
room, whore they all got drunk,
They then went in search of Ches-
ter, and meeting him on the main
street, renewed the quarrel.
Chester seeing that Killen was
drunk, attempted to leave him,
wheroupon the mountaineer drew
the log dealer to him and, drawing
his revolver, said: Cd d-n
you; I'll settle this account here
and now" As he leveled his re-
volver on Chester, Marshal Morton
stopped between the two men, and
caught killen's arm. Killen freed
himself, and backing n few PAGES,
fred at Morton. The ball missed
its mark, and the next moment
found Killon cold in death, Morton
having shot him Immediately over
the right eye. Chester was I'M
armed, and left the scene of the
difficulty as Killen fired at Morton.
Winchester Democrat.
LATER.--At the examining trial
Marshal Morton was acquitted, the
evidence showing that he acted in
self-defense.

The greatest printing Office in
the world is in the city of WASH

eminent. The number of its en-
ployes averages $500. According
to the estimates the cost of main
tenance during the coming year
will exceed 100000. A bill! now
pending in congress is designed TO
institute some better methods and
save part of this great eXpendi-
ture. 1t has been known for a long
time that the government printing
Office was an asylum for the de-
pendents of politicians of high and
low degree, but everyone was sur
prised when Congressman Coombs,
in debate the other day, said he

OuARRELED OVER A mIsER's CORPSE.
Daniel Keim Drops Dead at a Funeral and
Complications Follow.


A few days since a wealthy, &C.
centric and misery bachelor by
the name of Daniel Keim, aged 20
years, attended the funeral of III.
Conner at Hill church in Pike
township, Pennsylvania. Mr.. Keim
walked to the church, distanceof
seven miles from his home. He
took a seat in tho gallery, and soon
after the service began no was OBJ
served to sink down, and would
have fallen to the floor had not
those sitting by him come to his
assistance. Two physicians who
were in the church were summoned
to his side. He was carried uncon-
scious into the Sunday-school
room attached to the church, and
died in few minutes from heart
failure. When he was pronounced
dead the sexton of the church,
VIM. Nell, had the body carried 10
his residence adjoining the church,
and Benjamin Keim, brother of
the deceased, who lived near by,
was sent for. He arrived shortly,
and ordered the undertaken who
had charge of the other funeral to
take charge of the body and con-
vey it to his residence. When he
did so Noll, tho sexton. forbade
anybody to take tho body away
until he was paid the sum of $50.
He was demonstrated with, but per-
sisted in his refusal, and organized
band of his friends to resist any
attempt to remove the corpse.
In the meantime a justice of the
neighborhood, seeing better show
to make money out of the body,
organized coroner's jury and de-
manded n view of the body for the
purpose of holding an inquest.
Noll and his party refused to allow
the jury to enter the house, but
organized another jury and held an
inquest themselves. The brother,
BENJAMIN Keim, tried various WAYS
to get possession of the body, but
was unsuccessful. The eccentric
and miserly habits of the deceased
caused him to be widely known.
Though he was worth from $780,
600 to $4,000, and perhaps more,
he denied himself every luxury,
and most of the necessaries of life.
He had no regular place of abode,
but spent a good deal of his time
visiting his neighbors and relatives,
and frequently did odd jobs for
meal or nights lodging. He wore
the meanest clothes, and when no
went to the city to attend to his
mortgage investments he always
walked and carried his food with
him, dining on some ones door
steps. Besides his mortgages he
owned somo eighteen properties IN
tho county. For many years lio
kept his savings in gold and silver
hidden in various places, but some
of his neighbors having been
robbed, one day he gathered il all
together in a grain bag, carried it
to tho city and deposited it in ono
of tho banks.
