have Frustrated me, but even under
this great nervous strain I have not
had the slightest symptom Of a return

and succeeded In placing Spears under

The sheriff and his party arrived here
with the prisoner early this morning, and
fifteen men were deputized to protect
Spears until the sheriff reached Live Oak
with him. After his arrest Spears made u
fun confession and told everything with
seeming indifference, not realizing the
enormlty OF hts crime
The feeling Is very bitter against the
prisoner, and It Is probable that the sher-
in will be overpowered and the prisoner
lynehed before he reaches Live Oak. The
sheriff. however Is doing his ut-
most to revent this. The sheriff
wired Gov Mitchell for military to come

oner 70 LigR Oak In case he cannot reach
there on some freight train during the
night and evado the crowds that are
watching along the railroad.
At 6:i0 O'Clock the sheriff stopped a
freight train and attempted to get the
prisoner OF on It, but found II would
stay here for thirty minutes and the
crowd had gathered so fast that he aban-
doned the idea, but while the crowd
were watching the train he succeeded In
getting out Of the town with his pris-
oner, and will probably elude them and
land his man in Live Oak jail tonight

Treasury Alleged.


Treasury Alleged.
Pierre, s. D., Feb. 27-The investiga-
ton into the defalcation of State Treas
urer w w. Taylor has been completed
and this morning Charles T. Mccoy, one
Of the leading politicians of the state, was
arrested and is now in the custody of the
sheriff. awaiting a hearing before Justice
Yarnell The complaint was sworn out
by Attorney General Crawford and
charges Lawyer d. X. Tenney of Chicago,
John 7. McChesney of New York, Charles
II. Wells and Charles r. Mccoy with con-
spirfng with Taylor to rob the state of
s967 600. 1t is alleged that the defendants
were. as far back as October fully cogni-
zant of Taylor's shortage, and they con-
sptred with him to seize all the money and
nroDerty in the state treasury and banks
and place it where the state could
not find it; and that since the defalcation
became known, they have used all means
to obstruct the state in its efforts to re-
cover this money, or TO apprehend Tay-
lor. and that the cOnspirators have di-
vided the money among themselves.
Mccoy being the only one within the
jurisdiction Of the state, is the only one
vet arrested. The evidence against the ac-
cused is considered strong. Papers were
also served claiming all the money and
property in McCoy's possession belonging
to TAYLOR.

FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED.
Barney Dixon, the Well known Travelling
Man Found Dead IN Bed.


All the travelling men down at the
Carey and Manhat titan last night were
in grief over the news of the death of

pleasant days at the Carey which he
visited often. He was quite a favor
lite among the travelling men and his
death was the source OF many express
sion Of regret.

THE last that Dixon was seen alive
was on Tuesday afternoon about 4
o'clock, when he was in the office of
the hotel. and asked the day clerk.
John Chambers, for the keys to his
room. He was given the key and re-
tired to his room on the second floor
Of the hotel.
Dixon did not come down to supper,
nor was he down TO breakfast yester-
day morning. About 9 O'Clock Colonel
Carter went to the door Of Dixon's
room and knocked on the door. but
received no answer He thought moth
ing of it. but about half past IL o'clock
Miss Marie Dixon, the only daughter Of
Mr.. Dixon, who attends Bethany. came
to the hotel and asked for her father.
She was taken to the parlor and Mr..
Carter again went to Mr.. Dixon's room
TO awaken him. He knocked on the
door twice, but received no answer
HE then began to feel suspicious
that something was wrong. He pro-
cured key TO the door and tried TO I'M
lock it, but lock on the inside of the
door had also been fastened. A bell
boy climbed over the transom into the
room and unfastened the door. Mr..
Carter then entered the room and found
Dixon dead in his bed.
The body was cold and death had
evidently occurred several hours be-
fore.
Mr.. Carter Immediately locked the
door to the room and Coroner Bailey
was sent for and Undertaken Knight
notified. On the order of the coroner,
the remains Were removed to knights
undertaking establishment, where an
inquest will be held at O'Clock this
morning.
Mr. Dixon was well known among
the business men in Topeka and over
the state generally. He was state
agent for Kansas for the Lorillard To-
baccO company. He went to the CheS-
terrified hotel on Thanksgiving day and
has made it his home since that time.
For several days past he has been
complaining OF not feeling well and said
he could not sleep at night. He had
a severe spell with his heart recently
and It is thought that was the cause
OF his death.
Mr.. Dixon was a Mason and is also
a member of the United Commercial
Travellers association. II is said that
he carried 50. 600 life insurance.
NO arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral. The two sons

tives in 81. Louis have been notified.

The difficulty began this fall in the

Morse by Mrs. Cougar. Mrs. Liver
more testified that she knew Mrs. Gou-
gar we'll and that she occasionally used
harsh and abusive language" Mrs.
Livermore also said she had never
been a member Of the Prohibition party
Of this state.
4 letetr appeared in the last issue
OF the New York Voice signed by Mrs.
Cougar in which she sharply took Mrs.
Livermore to task and sought 70 show
that she did not spseak the truth a; the
trial.
Mrs. Cougar alleges that Mrs. Liver
more supported the Prohibition nomi-
nee and quotes from Hon. ohm 2. St
John for the purpose OF showing that
she left the Republican party and JOIN
ed the ProhibitioniSts. Mrs. Cougar
also denies other statements which Mrs
Livermore made at the trial
