Alleged Murderers Suddenly Shown
Dead Mans Face.
Omaha, July 9.-The four men and
one woman who are held in connection
with the Seljan murder were forced to
view the body to-day in hope of MAX
ing them talk, and their silence has
confused the police. The persons were
escorted into the rear room of the
morsue, where Seljan's body lay. The
cloth was suddenly removes from the
body of the dead man, and, without
moments warning they were brought
face to face with their victim. John,
Buckove was in the lead. He is the
man who is supposed to have been the
principal in the crime: AS Seljan's
discolored features appeared before
him Buckove broke down and
screamed with terror He put both
hands over his face to shut out the
awful sight, and sobbed in the most
pitiable manner. Drobinic and Milan
were equally affected, but they did not
break down. Mrs. Milan broke down
and wept bitterly for an hour. She
went into Mysteries and almost uncon-
seriousness. AS soon as Buckove's ter
TOR had subsidized he was led to the
head of the cooling board and asked If
he knew whose face it was that Law
before him. He said: 'tNo, no, no."

Now we noticed a column OF smoke
rising nearly opposite our position,
from the other bank Of the river
"A signalw cried Jed, "they must
have heard the report. What clumsy
idiot was!''
And seer. said I, there's an an
sWering signal to the right and an
other to the left. But we have got a
good start Of them and before they
strike our trail we must be miles
away"
All that afternoon we toiled onward
over the rugged course. Meantime,
however, Jed's wounded ankle grew
worse, until sunset it was swollen to
twice its natural size, and he could
proceed no further
Twilight slowly darkened into night
The moon rose and cast the, fading
light upon the scene. A more welcome
light think I shall never behold
Presently signal fires on the hills
near by told us that the rest Of our
enemies were close at hand Again
looked to the printing of my gun and
otherwise prepared for action.
For fully twenty minutes we heard
nothing of our foes, though we knew
well the cowardly fellows were debat-
ing how best to reach us. Then from
the ambush in the wild oats we heard
voices as If they were encouraging
each other to charge, and we realized
that the crisis was at hand.
Suddenly | was startled by an ex-
clamation from Jed.
Its all up Joev' he cried. "No use
firing. The villains have got us in
the rear!' @ss=E
I turned round to see canoe full
Of men padding noiselessly but swift
ly up the river
''Hist, boys, .sist!' whispered a voice
from the bow Of the canoe.
"Good heavens. it's Wattiew
cay, boys, and just in the nick Of
time. Catch hould Of this hyar line
and haul us in right smart"
This was done and all so quietly and
quickly that the Indians knew moth
ing of our reinforcements. A minute
later they broke cover, rushed into the
open, and, with Dlood-curdling yell,
charged pell-mell down upon us.
'Firew shouted Waite in a voice
that rang loud above the uproar, and
instantly five spouts of flame flashed
in the faces of our foes. ~ ,.
Surprised, thunderstruck. utterly dis
comfited, the advancing body reeled
backward from the volley they had SO
little expected.
'After 'em, boysr' yelled Waite,
. leaping up over bank, and giving
chase we sent them flying in all direc-
tons, each Indian intent only on Sc
curing his personal safety.
Then returning to the bank we
sought our two fallen foes. The first
we came up to was lying face down
ward, having pitched forward as a
bullet found his heart. Turning him
over, we found that he was none other
than the villainous Wah-kia ma BIOS.

Chicago, July THE police believe
now that the mystery surrounding the
$1,000 worth Of torn money found on
the lake shore between Twenty-second
and Twenty-sixth streets a week ago
is solved. They believe that the money
was torn up by John Chambers Of
Covington, Ky, and that his body is
DOW under the waves of Lake Michi-
San.
Chambers is about twenty-eight
years of age, and is said to belong to
an excellent family in Covington.
Some time ago he left home with
about $50, 900 in his possession, and in
company with q young woman. About
month ago he was seen in Seattle.

Coyle is forty years Of age, slight and
low of stature, but muscular and wiry.
His face is bronzed by the suns Of
many seasons on the deserts of Egypt.
He has travelled several times across
the Sahara desert. Coyle says his
companions in the perilous expedition
will go largely for the glory there will
be in it in case of success, but he is
inspired only with zeal to rescue his
friend, thereby keeping a VOW made
to him over ten years ago, and to do
what the British government has left
undone for decade. There are be-
lieved to be about twenty others in

Chicago, July = Frederick Hellman,
weli-to-do mason contractor, MUIR
dered his wife and four children last
night and then killed himself. 1t was
at first supposed that Hellman and
his wife and children met death by
accident, but it developed at the coro-
ner's inquest that the wholesale MUIR
der was calmly planned and that the
man intended to kill himself and end
the existence Of the members Of his
family.
The dead man and his victims IRE:
Frederick Hellman, aged so; Miss Ida
Hellman, 80; Fred Hellman, Jr., IL;
Ida Holman, 10; William Hellman, Z;
Hedwig Hellman, 3.
The tragedy took place in a little
brick cottage at the corner Of Cornelia
and Wood streets. The motive for
the deed is unknown, but is supposed
to be the act of a mailman as Hellman
about ten years ago had a sunstroke
from which he never recovered COM
pletely.
Suspicion was first aroused this
morning by the fact that the house
In which the Hellmans lived was tight
ly closed long after the usual hour for
the family to be astir. The mother
and married sister of Hellman, who
lived next door, attempted to break
into the house but were unable to do
so. They finally managed to force an
entrance through window that had
been left unfastened and made their
way to one of the bed rooms, where
of oil 20
found. The house was so full Of gas
that the two women were nearly over
come, and it was only after it had
been opened up that it was found pos
sible to turn off the gas which was
streaming from an open jet. The rela-
tives and neighbors at once circulated
that the deaths had been the result of
an accident and the police, when they
came, adhered to the same opinion.
The open gas jet was just above the
bed in which the mother and one Of
the children lay, and it was supposed
that one of them had during the night
accidentally hit the stop-cock and
knocked it open. At the inquest, how
ever, an entirely different complexion
was given the matter by Charles, a
brother Of Hellman. He had not been
summoned as a witness, and when he
was asked to take the stand it was
not expected that his testimony would
be anything out Of the ordinary. He,
however, produced letter written by
the murderer and suicide on the pre-
vious evening in which he clearly
showed purpose of killing himself, al
though he gave no intimation of the
fact that he was meditating killing
his family also. .a-... 49, ~

A Neat Place.

Nothing will add more beauty to
home or place than neatness and or
der. How many places might be made
attractive and beautiful by this SIM
pie and inexpensive art. Take, for eN-
ample two places-one where order
and neatness do rot prevail; weeds,
long grass, broken fences and things
upside down. with rubbish strewn
hither and thither. Contrast such
place, if you please, with one of order
and neatnesS, and see which one you
prefer. ~-
I wish to remind you thatsas beauti-
full as flowers and shrubs are, they
cannot take the place of neatness.
There is nothing that can take the
place of vell-kept lawn and orderly
place. Flowers and other ornamental
stock cannot show off to any advan-
tage under neglect of surroundings.
If you wish to have pleasant and at
tractiye home, keep things clean and
trim. 1t will pay well, and you will
he much more contented and happy.
Beautiful surroundings not only lend
cheer and content, but also add health
and do much toward keeping the
young people at home. 1t is often
painful to see how careless some are
about these things. Very often farms
which represent much wealth are any
thing but attractive, presenting a
dreary, lonesome aspect, which is
enough to take the very life out of any
body. Is it any wonder that the boys
and girls talk of leaving the farm
under such circumstances?
II YOU have hot already done SO buy
q lawn mower and cut that ragged
grass away from the front door. Trim
up those dense shrubs and trees, pick
up those sticks, clear up that rubbish,
trim up the roadways and walks, re-
pair the fences and see if life will not
seem sweeter and brighter. You may
say that it costs too much to do this.
Well, just try it and see. I think it
will be the greatest bargain in the
way Of benefits you ever invested in.
It will pay back as you go along. If
it is necessary, just put off that sum-
mer or fall trip and tend to it at any
rate. Make a determined effort to im-
prove your place if you have not al
ready done so, and my word for il,
you will be pleased with the outcome
