Last night WaAaand Aaron Hunter
were in town, and had apparently ar

Ward insisted, however, upon the old
man going to the woods for the pur-
pose of hunting coons. The hunt was
in progress and Hunter was sitting on
O stump when Ward hit him on the
neck with an ak. His head was split
wide open. When Hunter fell off
Ward struck the PROSTATE body again,
cutting off his head. The AK sank into
the ground. The villain then pro-
ceeded to kick the head Of his victim
about. He then went home, awokc
his wife, and told her to call her
brother, as he and the old man had
freed coon, and ask him to come and
help fell the tree. The younger Hunt
er got up, went out into the yard with
only Is night clothes on, when Ward,
with a stroke of the AK, felled him to
the ground. Young Hunter died al
NEST Immediately, with his head split
open. Ward then told his wife to
keep quiet about the whole affair;
that If she did not she would suffer
the same fate as her father and broth
er. Ward then went about half q
mile down the road and stopped at
Beckels' home. He told Mrs. Beckels
that he had killed both the Hunters.
Before many hours the crime was gen.
orally known and posse consisting Of
miners and farmers started on the
hunt for Ward, armed with various
weapons. Ward had two revolvers,
and this fact was known by his pur-
suers. The posse decided to hang
Ward. Just as the posse had located
him and surrounded the field in which
he had been hiding, single shot was
heard. The posse closed in on the
spot from whence the firing had come
and found Ward On his back on the
ground with revolver in either hand,
and bullet wound under the left ear.
He was already dead.

WESTMINSTER CHURCH.
The Beautiful Sanctuary in Minne-
apOlis Ruined by Fire,

Minneapolis, Sept. s.-Westminster
church, corner Nicollet avenue and
Seventh street, was attacked by the
fire tiend early this morning and, as a
result, one of the oldest church socie-
ties in the city finds itself without a
home. The origin Of the fire is
shrouded in mystery. There was not
a light in the building, and upon in
vestigation this morning it was dis
covered that even the electric cur
rents We're turned off. No explanation
can be given but that the editice had
been sen on fire by some one as vet
unknown. At first every one seemed
to believe that it was caused by the
crossing of electric light wires, but the
discovery this morning that the cur
rent was shut off and that not fuse
was blown, shattered this theory.
The estimated loss. according to F.
B. Long, Of Long & KEGS, who had un-
Ger his charge the construction Of the
church, will be in the neighborhood Of
$4,000. To cover this loss there is in
surance on the building amounting to
$65,0OO; on organ, $4,000; and on the
furniture about $1,000.

of Only 20 Seconds.
New York, Sept. S.-The result Of the
measurer's work on the yachts was a
great surprise. No good judge thought
that the English yacht would give
over minute and half in thirty
mile course to the Defender, yet many
capable critics said that the challenger
would give a minute, but that she
should yield less than a half-minute
was astonishing to all the smart peo-
pie. When Mr.. Byslop brought the
measurements to the New York Yacht
club house he said that the Valkyrie
would have to allow Defender 29.1O
seconds. 1t was only his business, he
added, to turn the measurements to
the regatta committee and let that
committee decide what the time al
lowance would be. Nevertheless, he
felt that 29.1O seconds was the fair
thing. The committee considered the
question for long time and finally
posted up notice on the clubs bull
letin board to the effect that the al
lowance would be 90 seconds, leaving
off Mr.. Byslop's added one-tenth Of
second. The races will, perhaps, be
very close, but no tenths of seconds
will separate the boats at the finish.

the official facts as set forth by the

great efforts will be made by those in

their minds to have the Royal and call
