offered by Allen, Pop, of Nebraska, on

Allen made some remarks upon his resolu

that the Populist party was as thoroughly
committed to the Monroe doctrinea rs either

party There should be, he said, no divi-
sion OF sentiment on the necessity of giving

Catherine Cling, n wcll-known drcssmaker
Of this city, was found lying by the side
of the lonely road that skirts Lake Cal

fore, she had taken from the Goodman
stables buggy and what has now become
famous rs the "buckskin' horse, and had
driven away, unaccompaniod.
Soon after 3 o'clock her dead body was
found, and ut about the Same time the
horse came trotting into the stable alone
and with no indications of having run
away At first it had been thought ii
there had been fatal runaway. The b.,
tered condition of the head seemed to
point that way, but the coroner soon
found n bullet wound in the back of the
head, and it became n question Of murder
or suicide.
Harry Hayward's first appearance in the
matter was Mt midnight on the night f
the murder, when he came to police head
quarters and expressed his belief that the
woman had been murdered, explaining
that he believed that 1t was the scheme Of
