TO START A TOWN.
Efforts Being Made to Purchase a
Site in Brown County.

Fairview. Sept. 23.-Two men have
been canvassing the reserve soliciting
subscriptions to buy a town site on the
farm of Henry Scheutz, about half way
between POWhatan and Horton.
Bushes men here say that if it is
successful the town won't hurt Pow
haitian as the territory around there
is tributary to Horton and very little
of its trade reaches here.
The POwhatan people are negotiating
with the Missouri Pacific Railway
company for a switch to be put in two
miles north of Baker and a track to be
run down the section line to POwhatan.
The right of way has been freely given
by the farmers interested and they an
ticipate no trouble in securing the
switch.

railroads for fear of lynchlng, and
should an attempt be made to cart him

Man Arrested on Suspicion of
Being the Dead Mans Accomplish

SHERBURNE, Mimi. Oct Ito
day has been one of funerals in Sher-
burne as well as affording an oppor-
tunity for the residents of the sur
rounding towns to look at the scene of
Wednesdays robbery, and the body OF
the dead robber. Several hundred
from adjoining counties came in during
the day, and gazed curiously at the
bank where the tragedy occurred. The
robber was buried at IL o'clock this
morning; at least the remains were
taken to the cemetery at the south
side of town and inferred in Potters
field. The grave was not filled in,
however, and the coffin was frequently
opened during the day for the purpose
of identification. When the coffin had
been lowered in its rough pine box,
Rev. G. j. Lutz, the local Methodist
preacher, spoke briefly on the recent
crime and its speedy vengeance.
Services for the dead cashier, George
Thorourn, were held at the Congrega-
tional church this afternoon. The re-
mains will be shipped tomorrow to
Montreal.
There has been a great deal of spec
ulation here today concerning the men
under arrest at Lake Mills, To-, but
nothing can be learned locally. 1t is
now supposed that the name of the
dead robber is Lake or Lacy, the sup
position being based upon the marx
ings found on his clothing.

CASE OF THE CASTLES.
THE sTRANGEsT OF ITS KIND IN
RECENT CRIMINAL ANNALS.
Never Did Respectable People Find
Themselves in a. Darker Pit--aEis-
celianeous Plumber Found in
Their Trunks.

OF the case of the Castles, the San
on a charge of theft, the London cores
pondent of the Examiner says:
At the United States embassy. at Scot
land Yard and in the offices of London
newspaper, which does not dare to print
the strangest and most interesting of it's
peculiar kind within the recollection of
living men. There lie in jail a respectful BILE
and wealthy merchant of San Francisco
and his attractive and intelligent wife,
against whom not a word of reproach has
been uttered or written in forty years,
and yet they are charged with persistent
and indiscrininate larceny OF 5ods, both
valuable and trif1ing, carried on for
months not only in England, but all over
the continent.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
many men who know the facts in the
case believe the charge TO be true against
either the man or woman, or both. Some
hold the woman guilty and the man inno-
cent; some declare the woman is an ex-
emplification of the most extraordinary
case of acute kleptomania ever met with.
But the shopkeepers who suffered by
the alleged thefts insist that in every
case charged Castle was with his wife
and remained behind her, being always
the last TO leave the shop.
Never cid respectable man and woman
find themselves in deeper, darker pit
than these two are in, and yet their
friends are of such character. so power
full, so respectable and so numerous that
intelligent spectators await with acute
anxiety the solution of the strange puz-
zle. How much damning evidence could
accrue against persons hitherto so worthy
is yet to be explained.
Lord Rothschild today sent his private
secretary to the embassy to express his
lordship's interest in Mr.. Castle; to vouch
for his standing, reputation and integrity

in the strongest terms, and to offer any
assistance, financial or otherwise to get
him out of his trouble
Two million pounds sterling have been
placed at the disposal of the embassy
with which to furnish bail for Castle, and
TO all appearances as much more could
easily be obtained here in London from
people who know him, SO great is the in
tereSt taken in the case and so strong is
the, faith of individuals in Castles
probity.
Charles Matthews, one of the cleverest
criminal lawyers in England. has been
retained to assist in the defense. The
matter has now been taken out of the
hands OF the police and has been placed
in the hands of the public prosecutor,
which means that the case will be pushed
through to whatever end the facts may
lead.
EVIDENCE IS VERY STRONG.
The evidence is very strong, and from
all l. can gather there is not likely to be
most amusing mass of miscellaneous
stuff was found in the Castles trunks-a
fact which seems to indicate that Mrs.
Castle had a mania for picking up odd
trifies of every description belonging to
other people.
There was even found in her trunks a
pair of sheets from the bed she slept in
at a big London hotel and a, plated toast
rack that came from a hotel breakfast
table. There were also articles of prt-
vate, or semi-private, ownership, gotten
in various parts of the continent. Many
watches, all alike, and thirteen umbrella
heads were in the collection.

TACOMA, Wash, Oct 11-Late
Siberian papers received yesterday by
the Oriental liner Tacoma, report great
floods in Siberia, by which thousands
have been rendered homeless and
destitute. The Siphoon, Moor Santa

their banks, and the plains for hun
dreds of miles are covered by great
lake, the water in some cases being
railway has been flooded for a distance
of 120 versts from Inman, the terminus
of the road, and many large washouts
elsewhere are reported. Telegraphic
communication with Vladivostok was
interrupted for several days. Grain
crops, which were being harvested
were all destroyed, together with farm
buildings.
Thousands of cattle were drowned.
Meager reports contain information
of a heavy loss of life, but owing to
interrupted communication details are
not yet at hand.
The governor of Vladivostoct has
despatched several companies Of
soldiers with steam launches and life
boats to the scene of the disaster to
assist in rescue work.
Great distress and famine Will un-
doubtedly be caused in the agricultural
districts.
The government is doing all in its
power to assist the sufferers, but owing
to the topography of the country, a
vast amount of distress will result be-
fore the isolated districts can be
reached.
