Why TAYLOR GAVE HIMSELF UP
Speculation as to tho Cause for the De-
faulter's Surrender.


SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 15.-(Spe-
cial)-There is considerable guessing on the
reason for the return of eX-Treasurer Taylor,
who, leaving out the moral side Of the ques-
tion has everything to lose and nothing TO
gain. In the joint statement made by Tay-
lor's attorneys there was a clause to the eff
feet that it must necessarily be but a ques-
ton Of time when the fugitive would be
caught, and that his chances to get off easy
were greater upon his giving himself up than
at figuring have about concluded that Mr..
Taylor returns at the earnest solicitation OF
his friends. More than that, upon the solicit
tatlon of his aged parents, who are heart
broken on account of the uncertain fate
which hangs over their son. These calcula-
tors say that certain high officials of this
state have been very anxious since TaylOr's
flight and that their anxiety has been caused
largely from the fear that the defaulting
treasurer would be captured. In view of the
fact that compromise has been entered
into that Taylor is to plead guilty and go to
the peDitentlary for two years, and that suf-
ficIent cash vail be put up to reimburse the
state, the conclusion Of these before men
toned calCulators is that large amount OF
this money comes from the persons who have
been so anxious about Taylor, and that Tay-
lors pleading guilty to take the minimum
sentence of the court, two years, with prom
Use of pardon in time to save his citizenship
means that out of consideration of these
anxious people putting up the money for the
state TaylCr has consented to plead guilty
and no. peach on any one.

GOLD ExCITEMENT ON THE INCREASE
Marshal Morrow Claims the Find Is Nothing
but Copper stained Rock.

GUTHRIE, okl., June 15.-The Oklahoma
gold excitement continues to spread. Pros
pectors are focking into the Wichita noun
tains by the thousand, and horses have
doubled in value. Many outhtters have been
unable to meet the demand for supplies
"Boggy Camp in the Washita country, now
has over 5000 people, and more are arriving
hourly. Some trouble over claim jumping is
reported. Men returning from the gold fields
report remarkable finds, but so far reliable
information as to the real value Of the strike
is wanting
WICHITA, Kan, June 1j.-Deputy United
States Marshal Morrow Of Oklahoma arrived
here today from the scene OF the alleged gold
discovery in Oklahoma. He said that the al
legged mining boom was a gigantic fake, and
what is said to be gold is nothing but copper
stained rock, which crops out of the ground
and has been known to exist there as long
as white men have been visiting the country.
1t is not worth 10 cents ton, he says, and
ii 1t was there is a sufficient quantity Of it
there to be more valuable than all the gold

TRIGEDY At A TIE CIMP,
william Kierns Kills His Father Law
and Commits suicide.

CHEYENNE, June 15.-(Special)- Word
was received here today of a murder and sui
eide at the camp Of Coe G. Coe, near the head
of Black Fork creek, near the Utah-Wyoming
line, in Unta county. On Monday William
Kierns traded his team at Fort Bridger for
a saddle horse ani a revolver. He remarked
that he was going to kill some one and skip
the country. AS he was drunk no attention
was paid to the remark. That evening he
rode to the tie camp and slept in the woods
near the camp. Early Tuesday morning
Kerns' father-in-law and brother-in-law
were going to work in the woods when
Kerns shot at them from behind log. The
older man fell at the first shot, mortally
wounded. The younger ran for tree and
Kierns' second shot missed him. Kierns
fired a third shot this time at himself. The
ball passed through his head, killing him in
stantly The tragedy grew out of the fact
that Kierns refused to support his wife,
whose father was thus obliged to take care
of her. and ordered Kierns to leave the
country. The letter giving the details of the
killing, which is from a reliable source,
failed to give the name of Kierns' victim.

REFUSED TO HELP ms SON-IN-L1U
Young Davis VIII Have to Answer for Is
suing a FIctitIous Draft.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-J. C. Davis
of Rochester. N. Y. is still in Jail. The tele-
graph wires between this city and Rochester
have been laden today with messages to and
from Henry II. Craig, Mrs. Davis father, a
wealthy lumberman Of Rochester. A prom
lnent local attorney says he has been asked
by Craig to get Mrs. Davis out OF the scrape,
but she positively refuses to leave her hus-
band. If Craig had come promptly to the
rescue of his son-in-law by paying the amount
of his peculations the young man would prob
ably have been allowed to depart, but the
rich lumberman seems only to have been
concerned for his daughters liberty and re-
solved to leave the young man to his fate.
New charges and new complaints were made
out against Davis today. The offense charged
is issuing a fictitious draft-a felony-and a
half dozen victmized merchants were on
hand today to swear to the complaints.

Daniel Wering, the wife murderer, on the
ground that he was insane when he COM
mtted the crime from the fact that he had
taken the Kelley cure, DR.. Wiles, who for
two years was in charge of the Pittsburg
Kelley institute, for the first time gave out
this much Of the formula of the celebrated
gold cure He said the treatment consisted
first Of an internal treatment of simple
tonics of which cinChOna was the principal
ingredient. The second part of the treat
ment consisted of hypodermic injections
of what was known as the red mixture.
This, he said, was composed OF theme, eight
or ten drops Of hyoscamine and solutscn
of pilocarpine, one grain to the drachm;
with morphia to suit the condition of the
patient The doctor said the pilocarpine was
a strong relaZant and that the other drugs
caused rush of blood that was particularly
dangerous to men who suffered from fatty
degeneration of the heart. He said he be-

charged from the hospital Governor Hast

KANSAS FARMER'S HORRIBLE CRIME
Shot His Wife, Two Neighbors ana Beat
His Two Chidren To Death.

KANSAS CITY, June ia special to the
Times from st. Francis, Kan, says: hor-
rible tragedy was enacted nine miles north
east of St. Francis this moning. Frank
Williams, farmer while in fit of jealous
rage, attempted to murder his wife and Miss
Alice Smith and William Smith. He then
beat the brains out of his two children,
little girl aged about 5 years, and a boy
about years old, with hatChet, after which
he blew his own brains out with a revolver.
Williams first wife died last September and
on May -, 1895, he married a Miss Dixon,
who lived near by, and who had assisted in
his housework for some time. Their mar
ried life was not happy and after four weeks
Of turmoil the woman left him and went
to live at the house of a. p. Swanson,
neighbor. Once during the past week Will
liams went to the Swanson place and
fourishing revolver threatened to kill his
wife and Mrs. Swanson. This morning Swan
son and Mrs. Williams started to come to
St. Francis, intending to have Williams
arrested On the way they stopped at the
house Of George A. Smith, and while there
Williams came in and proceeded to settle the
differences between himself and wife, agree
ing to pay a certain sum of money and let
her go. when, without any warning he
whipped out revolver and began firing at
everybody in sight.
William Smith, nephew Of Smith, was
shot through the cheek, knocking out two
teeth and tearing away a portion of the
jaw bone. He was also shot twice in the
back, receiving flesh wounds. Mrs. Williams
received a bullet in the mouth and the ex-
tent of her injuries have not been ascertained.
Alice Smith received bullet in the breast,
but fortunately for her a corset stay arrested
the progress of the bullet and she received
a slight flesh wound
Williams then mounted a horse and re-
turned to his home. where he completed
the work by Draining his two children with
hatchet and shooting himself through the
brain. When the sheriff and his deputy
arrived on the scene Williams and the little
girl were dead and the boy was in a dying
condition. The coroner was summoned and
is now holding an inquest. Intense excite
ment prevails in the neighborhood
