COLD FLOODED MURDER.

Tucson, Ariz., Sept. S.-Last night
between . and 10 o'clock Judge Scott
and the coroner's jury returned from
the Lands ranch. where they had been
investigating the death of its proprie-
tor. The body of Mr.. Lands was raised
from the bottom of the 125-foot well by
means of a rope and a pair of ice tongs.
A thorough examination of the circum-
stances surrounding the death of Mr..
Lands led the jury to the conclusion
that he had been killed by some per-
son or persons to them unknown. The
jury was composed Of Messrs. Charles
Haislip, Peter Grimley, Thomas J.
Morris, Frank Lashley. Sotero Ruelas
and A. V. Spicer.
The body was buried in the orchard
a short distance from the house. There
seems to be no theory upon which a
logical conclusion of accidental death
can be based, and it is sincerely hoped
that the murderers may be apprehend-
ed and meet the punishment which
such fiends of their kind deserve.

to Major McKinley's home. The edi-
tors were Joined by a number of Can

The venerable John Hopeley of Blu

editors. He told of the progress of the
country under the Mckinley tariff, pay
ing an eloquent compliment to the re-
publican nominee. He also described
the free silver agitation and asserted
that the success of their cause would
make the future more uncertain than
ever.
Major Mckinley in replying acknowl-
edged the gracious words of the vener-
able spokesman, and babe the editors

the press in Ohio and throughout the

on the disappearance of s~ectionalism.

Little Rock, Ark. Sept. S.-The de
mocracy of Arkansas achieved the
greatest victory in the history of the
state. Never before was such an over
whelming majority given any gubcrna-
torial candidate as was yesterday given
General Dan w. Jones. and never was
such a large vote polled in the state.
Conservative estimates. based on par
tial returns, place the total vote
at 1G5 900 and give Jones a clear ma
iority over all opposition combined of
60, 0O0 to 65, 1000. Figures are coming in
slow and many enthusiastic democrats
claim when the back counties are all in,
Jones majority will run up above TO-
600. Many counties in Arkansas have
no telegraph and it will be several days
before the official returns are all in.
Nearly all the counties and precincts
so far heard from show large demo-
cratic gains over the vote of two years
ago. Local option contests served to
bring out a heavy vote in many dis
tricts. Republicans and popuiists are
making no claims tonight, but await

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. S.-The continu-
Gus welcome which the Lincoln people
and large contingents from other parts
of Nebraska gave William J. Bryan or
his homecoming today, eliminated
this evening in a grand demonstration
in honor of his formal notification OF
his nomination for the presidency by
the national silver party. From the
time Bryan reached the city at II
o'clock this morning. until the crowds
retired from the streets Of the capital
city, he was escorted by local and visit
ing campaign clubs, nearly all of whom
had brass bands in front. There was
an escort procession from the Burling-
ton depot to Bryan's residence; another
procession accompanied the candidate
to the mass meeting on the state house
grounds this afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, George A. Groot.
chairman of the notification committee.
and Norris Humphrey of Lincoln, rode
together in the midst of the night pa
rade. Men in white duck uniforms,
carrying fambeaus, formed the pictur-
esQuc part of the display. Those were
members of the silver clubs from Lin
coin and elsewhere in the state. Near
ly GOO mounted men were in line, and
those with the silver capped ~organiza-
tons fired off rockets and roman can
dies as they proceeded from the post
office square along the principal streets
TO the state house. Morris Humphrey
presided at the meeting and introduced
George a. Groot of Ohio. chairman of
the notification committee, who made
the notification address. 1t was 10:4O
o'clock before Groot's address was con-
Guided. Bryan was then Immediately

4 special to tn" Denver Republican
from Lander says: The cntcrprisins cit
iz"ns of JaCksOn's Hole have establish
ed Il dead line on the sheep trail which
crosses through that country. They, a
few days ago. stopped a band of sheep
passing over the trail on the way to
Lander. These sheep belong to Earle
Il fOUh"r of this city and the owners
are much worked up over it, as they say
if the sheep are not turned back and re-
CURED to go south around the Wind
river range or north of Union pass. Il
will require an extra distance of 300
miles to be Travelled. and this will make
them so late that deep SHOWS will be on
the mountains and they cannot cross
this section. The people who have es-
tablished the dead line claim that it is
for the purpose of preserving the feed
for the large bands of elk that winter
in hat section. The shocpmcn of Lam

have purchased sheep in Oregon and
