.FRAKER FULLY IDENTIFIED
No Longer Any Doubt That
tho Man Arrested Is
the SWindler.
Prosecuting Attorney Farris Expects
to Easily Secure the Doctors
Conviction.

RICHMOND, Mo-, Sept. There no
longer remains a doubt as to DR.. George
Fraker's identity. DR.. E. Lemis of Kansas
City, under whom Fraker studied medi-
cine, was here to-day and is now prepared
to make oath that the authorities have the
right man. Colonel Bissell and wife, &C
companied by their negro cook, came to-
day. Fraker boarded with them at Excel
sior Springs, and at once called the names
of all three. Up to the present at least $50
citizens of Ray and Clay counties have
seen the doctor and all are positive in
their recognition. Not person who ever
knew Fraker has been found that claims
he is not the man.
DR.. Fraker is a man possessed of many
peculiarities. In his Excelsior Springs
home he was known as such, and since his
advent into Ray County Jail he has de-
veloped many of them. He has not writ
ten letter since he came and positively
refuses his autograph to any one.
James L. Farris Jr., Prosecuting Attor-
ney of Ray County, said: 81 have no
especial information to lmpart. We are
confident of securing a conviction, and it
is my belief that DR.. Fraker will receive
sentence of not less than twenty-five years
in the penitentiary."

AN |NDEPENDEN INQUIRY
Consul Read and Commander
Barber to Investigate
MaSsaCreS.
A Third United States Representa-
tive VIII Be Selected by
Minister DENLY.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 7-Sheri-
dan P. Read, United States Consul at
Tientsin, and Commander Francis NJ.
Barber, naval attache of the United States
legation at Toxic have been selected as
members of the independent commission
which this Government will send to in
vestigate the attacks on American missions
at Cheng Tu and its vicinity in June last.
The other American representative will
be missionary, whose selection lies with
Minister DENLY, and the Chinese Govern
ment will also appoint Commissioner to
assist the inquiry. All arrangements con-
corning the formation and procedure Of
the commission are in the hands of Mr..
DENLY, whose selections of Mr.. Read and
Commander Barber are thoroughly in
dorsed by the State Department.
1t is not known how soon the Commits
sioners will start for Cheng Tu, which is a
small remote place, situated a consider
able distance from navigable waters, but
there will probably be no delay after the
missionary Commissioner and the Chinese
representative are selected. A cablegram
received at the State Department this
morning from Mr.. Read indicated that he
had received his instructions from the Min
lister.
The American Commissioners will make
a report to this Government, while the
Chinese representative will look out for
the interests of China. 1t is not likely
they will make a joint report unless they
can agree on all the facts brought out in
the inquiry

A WILD LIFE OF CRIME.
1t Began by Shooting an Of
ficer, and Included Muir
der and Robbery.
HE LED A DESPERATE GANG.
Robbery Of the Rock Island Train
Was the Last Exploit Of
His Career.

WICHITA, KANs., Sept. Zip Wyatt,
alias Dick Yeager, the famous Oklahoma
bandit, whose capture occurred early in Au-
gust, after the most exciting chase known
in border history, died in the South Enid
Jail at 1 20 P. M to-day from the effects of
wounds.
AT 8 P. NJ. yesterday he began suffering
excruciating pain and at o'clock this
morning became unconscious.
The criminal career of the outlaw began
at Fourth of July celebration in Edwards
County, Kans., over horse race. Balfour,
who claimed to be an officer, attempted to
arrest Wyatt over some trifing matter,
ana he resisted. Balfour shot Wyatt in
the hand and in the left side of the body,
both flesh wounds, the marks of which
can be found on his body. Wyatt drew
a gun from bosom pocket and shot Bal
fed, shooting as he went.
After this he went to Indianapolis and
stayed with his uncle while. He after
ward went to visit an aunt in Corea, Ind,
where he was arrested, and after long
habeas corpus trial was taken to the Jail at
Guthrie on the strength of a fighting case
against him at Mulhall, I. T.
On the first day of January, 1892, Zip es-
capped from the Guthrie Jail in a very mys-
terious manner. He hid around his faith
er's home until he procured horse and
saddle and left for parts unknown. From
this time on the young man led the life of
an outlaw. The crimes and misdemeanors
which are attributed to him are legion,
covering the States of Kansas and Texas and
Oklahoma. They consist of murder, bank
robbery, horse-stealing and, in fact, almost
every crime known to the life of bandit.
He first came into prominence as one of
the bank robbers at Coffeyville, Kans.,
afterward numbering an officer in Kiowa,
Kans., and it was he who led the band in
the daring train robbery on the Rock
Island, near Hennessey, a few months ago.
1t is believed it was he who murdered
Postmaster Townen in Blaine County,
l. T., year and half ago, after enjoying
his hospitality for an evening meal. Heavy
rewards were out for his capture and there
has been much wrangling among the Off
GERS and vigilantes as to who deserves the
credit for his capture. W. D. Fossett,
detective of the Rock Island Railroad, be-
gan the pursuit of the Wyatt gang Mon
day night, July 80, at o'clock. They
found the outlaws in the foothills beyond
the Gloss Mountains and pursued them in
southeasterly direction, hundreds of
farmers joining in the chase. For week
the pursuit lasted and finally the outlaw
was captured two miles east of Sheridan.
Zip Wyatt was married to Miss Annie
Bailey at his fathers home in 1889. He
never lived with her since he killed Balfour
in Kansas. They had a little girl.

DOWN IN A BURNING MINE
Thirty Men Imprisoned Near
Houghton, Mich, With No
Chance of Escape.
All of Those Shut In Must Have
Quickly Succumbed to the
Generated Gas.

HOUGHTON, MICH, Sept. 7.-Osceola
mine is on fire. Thirty miners were cut OF
and probably smothered.
Smoke is now pouring in dense volumes
from the mouth of every shaft of the
Osceola mine, and escape through any OF
these openings is now impossible The
only remaining hope for the thirty i'm
prisoned men is that they may find some
old drift which opens at about the fiji
tenth level into the south Hecla branch
of the Calumet and Hecla mine, but which
has been abandoned for years and prob
ably choked up with decayed timber. But
it is the only possible avenue of escape.
Among those known to be in the mine
are Captain Richard Trembath, shift boss
Fred Reardon, Richard Bickel, Michael
Johnson, Michael Schuelte, Alexander
Daniel, John Cuddihy, all miners.
The Osceola mine is, next to the Tamarac,
the chief copper producer in the Clark
Bigelow group of mines, comprising the
Tamarac, Tamarac Junior, Kearsarge and
Osceola mines. 1t has been in continuous
operation since 1888, and paid an average
dividend of 500, 600 annually.
The underground workings being heavily
timbered with pine, the fire generates
great quantities of carbonic acid gas, which
sinks to the lower level, so that death by
suffocation is certain to all in the mine
below the level Of the flames.
Gathered about the shafts of the Osceola
are the wives, mothers and children of the
unfortunate men, anxiously awaiting more
news from their loved ones. The scenes
are very pathetic, but beyond the doubtful
assurance that the men may have found
the abandoned Hecla drift, little comfort
can be extended. Every effort is being
put forth to rescue the unfortunate men,
but hope is not high.
The Osceola is, next to the Tamarac, the
chief copper producer in the Clark Bige-
low group. 1t has been in continuous
operation since 1888 and paid average divi-
dends of 100000 annually.
Upward of 200 men were at work in the
other levels of the mine when the fire
started. Many of those were taken to the
May shaft and brought to tie surface in
the great buckets in fainting condition.
II is now utterly impossible to quench
the fire by the usual methods. and prepa-
rations are now being made to close the
mouths of the shafts to shut off the air.
The side shaft leading to the thirty
seventh level is Theoretically sealed, but
the other shafts will not be closed so long
as hope remains. 1t is believed it will
take month to extinguish the fires. This
is thought to be the worst disaster in point
of loss of life in the copper mining history
of Michigan.

acceptable to all will be easily arrived at,
but Newcombe's avoidance of him does
not seem promising, and letter in to-
days Times from R. T. Lancefeld, secre-
tary of the Copyright Association of
Canada, dated Hamilton, August 26, is
extremely defiant in tone.
All Scotland has been talking for some
weeks of report that Lord Archibald
Campbell, who is not a more extraordinary
intellectual luminary than the Duke of
Argyle's other sons, was organizing some
unusual demonstration in the Pass of
Glencoe for September 9. AT first the
thing was grinned over as mere ebulli-
ton of native asininlty, but it is now seen
that it may have more serious aspects.
Lord Archibald maintains at his own eX-
pense at Inverary a big pipers' band, and
gives to the members an annual excursion.
His project this year is to take them to
Glencoe Monday night and march by
torchlight through the glen, playing
funeral laments. These laments, it is ex-
planned, are intended to indicate rumors
that the modern Campbells feel the savage
ry of their ancestors in treacherously mas
sacring their neighbors, the Macdonalds,
at Glencoe 203 years ago. But the modern
Macdonalds decline to take his view of
the serenade, and swear that if the Camp
bells come there on any such mission they
will whip them out of their kits. In the
face Of these threats Lord Archibald has
asked for police protection, and the al
together fantastic scheme has greatly ex-
cited the HIGHLANDS

PLUNGED FROM a BRIDGE.

Fifteen People injured In q Kansas Rail-
road Disaster.
MONMOUTH, KAs., Sept. Fifteen
persons were hurt in wreck on the Par
sons division of the Kansas City, Memphis
and Fort Scott road tonight Two
coaches jumped the track while crossing
Indian Greek and went down into the
stream.
The train left Kansas City at 1895 this
morning. 1t consisted of baggage and
three passenger coaches. This section had
been visited recently by heavy rains, and
there were numerous washouts which had
been but recently repaired. The water was
still high in Indian Creek and had fallen
several feet in the past two days.
1t is thought the high water weakened
the supports, and as the water was not yet
low enough to permit an examination of
the bridge, there was no forewarning of the
accident.
The railroad officials refused absolutely
to give out any more information and will
not allow the list of names of those injured
to be made public.

Frightened Guests.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. Fire started
this afternoon on the third floor of the
Paxton Hotel, a four-story brick building
at 100 and 102 Randolph street. At the
time there were number of men and
women asleep on the third and fourth
floors, and as the cry of fire was raised and
the smoke crept into the rooms, panic
ensued. Within few minutes partly
clothed women were crowding down the
staircases and into the street. Three young
women became SO frightened that they
fed to one of the front windows on the
third floor and attempted to Jump into the
street, but were restrained by their male
companions. Owing to the construction
of the building and the small rooms, the
fire was a difficult one to fight, but was
finally overcome with small loss.
