UNsOLVED MURDER MYSTERY
Recalled by Death of a Million
aire in New York.

Anthony M. Cannon, of Spokane.
died suddenly at the Sturtevant house.
in New York, last Saturday. A few
years ago Mr.. Cannon was one of the
leading spirits of the Washington town.
rated as millionaire. He had an ex-
tensive acquaintance, and bore the
reputation of a kindly man, who would
go out of his way, if necessary, to do a.
favor for a friend.
In writing Of his death, and reviewing
the years of his life in the West, the
New York Times prints the following
reminiscent story, evidently told by
some one who knows all the circum
stances:
There had been a murder few miles
out from st. Paul, under circumstances
which left no clue to the identity of the
dead man or the one who had killed
him. middle-aged stranger had been
found in a stock pen at the Minnesota
Transfer with his throat cut. He had
come to the place the day before, and
seemed to be a well-to-do business
man, who minded his own affairs.
The body was duly taken to the
morgue, and the detectives were on q
hunt for clues to the murderer. The
murder had taken placeThursday night.
and by Sunday no detective had found
out the name of the murdered man.
Sunday afternoon reporter for the st.
Paul papers went to the morgue. and
as he entered the place an elderly man
with long gray beard, high white hat
and clerical-looking coat alighted
from a carriage, and, with a younger
man, who had come with him, entered
and looked at the dead man.
For two or three minutes no one
spoke, and then the gray-bearded man
said: THAT is the man."
He spoke few words in a whisper to
the attendant, and was about to GO.
when a. reporter asked him who he was.
Il would rather not tell you,'' he re-
piled.
do you know the dead MANI"
Il think 1 do" said he.
"Who is hep"
L would rather not say
Then he entered his carriage. and
was driven away. The reporter fol-
lowed. and, reaching the Ryan hotel,
saw the gray-bearded man writing a
message at the telegraph office.
THAT man. the clerk said, "is All M.

ures in support Of the contention of
the sixteen-to-one free coiners that
! the fall in silver price is wholly
due to decentralization, that is, to
the denial of free access to, the
minis of silver for coinage, and not
the cessation of its use as money.
The whole truth never lies with
the extremes or the extremists. 1t
is as true of the two money metals
as of anything else. The assertion
of the gold monometallists that the
fall in silver price is wholly due to
overproduction, if soberly made, is
paired by the claim of the silver
monometallists that the fall is who'll
ly due to demonstration, and each
states part of a fact for the whole.
Each is partly right, and each
in the use Of the word wholly" is
entirely wrong.
The silver men on their side ignore
the factors of a decrease in the cost
OF production growing out of the
discovery of more economical meth
DDS of reduction; the effect of the
lesSened demand for metallic money
resulting from the vast increase Of
credit paper; the stimulating effect
or the Allison and Sherman pur-
chase acts Oh production, and the
fact that after 1884 silver, being I'M
dervalued here, sought other mar
kets than our minis. All of these
have had their effect on the price
OF the money metals, especially on
that of silver, the effect on the value
OF gold being none the less fact be-
cause, owing to it's being the COM
mon denomination, it has no stand
ara OF measurement, thus rendering
the effect imperceptible.
Inc gold monometallists ignore
the depressing effect on silver bv
the exclusion of it from free access
l~lo one OF its natural and legitimate
! markets; not by our government
because for forty years before the
act OF 1873 silver had practically de-
| monetlzed itself in this country
seeking markets where it was more
hlghly valued in the coinage. Rut
When those markets were closed hv

Oh the demand, the price was as
sure TO fall as would be that of apv

Then he wrote another message to
the mans brother in Spokane, inform
ing him of the murder and offering
to do anything in his power. He sent
another message to Cleveland, asking
if the supposed murdered man had
been at any hotel in st. Paul, and
what valuables if any, he had.
''At 10 o'clock tonight said Mr..
Cannon to the reporter, "come and
see me, and I'll probably have more
details"
AT 10 o'clock he did have more de-

was in the corridor, laughing, and in
