ROBBED HIS BENEFACTOR
An Ungrateful Wretch Now Behind
the Bars
Taken In and Fed, He Repays the
Kindness by Appropriating the Eff
fects of His Friends.

At $50 last evening Deputy Constab
Tom Quinn landed fellow named John
Mcneil behind the bars of the city Jail
on charge of grand larceny preferred
by w. H. Wheeler of No. 1908 Upper
Main street If the story told by Wheel
er is true, Mcneil is an migrate who de-
serves the severest punishment for rob-
bing his benefactor.
Wheeler and his partner, Walter Da-
Wis, are miners who have several claims
out on the desert, but who spend the
greater part of their time in this city
They have roomed at the address given
| for several years. One night about two
| months ago Davis came home, having
with him Mcneil, whom he had picked
up on the street in a destitute condi-
tion.
The fellow was taken in by the large
hearted miners, given a bed in their
room and fed at their expense, as he
professed himself unable to obtain
work. Shortly after his advent, how
ever, small articles began to be missed
from the room, of which no trace could
afterward be found Mcneil was not
suspected, and yet the stuff vanished
with great regularity. A few days ago
ing out to their mines, and Davis start
ed off, leaving Wheeler to follow.
1t was his intention to start Monday
morning, and his valise was all packed
in readiness for the trip. Wheeler had
laid in a large supply of clothing, under
garments, shirts, neckties, etc, to last
him while gone, and in the valise also
had all of his papers, deeds to his claims,
a life insurance policy, photos, letters,
promissory notes, etc. On Sunday night
Mcneil was seen by the landlady of the
house walking off with the valise, but
she supposed that he was merely con-
veying it to some appointed place for
Wheeler.
The latter never saw his outfit again,
and instead of starting yesterday morn
ing as expected, stayed in town to To-
cate the thief. He swore to a COM
plant in Justice owens court, and the
warrant for McNeil's arrest was given
to Quinn. Inside of an hour the consta
BILE had picked him up and safely lodged
him in jail No trace of the missing va
lse has been discovered and the pris-
oner refuses to disclose the whereabouts
of the property.
Wheeler will now have to put off his
departure until he gets new outfit or
the stolen stuff is recovered, and also
remain to appear as a witness against
Mcneil, who will probably be arraigned
in court today

Sherman, Tex, May 16.-The death list
from the cyclone of yesterday afternoon
is growing rapidly and this morning over
seventy-fve bodies have been found.
Twenty-Five physicians from Sherman,
Denison, Whiteright Howe and Van
Alstyne are attending the wounded, and
hundreds of women are helping.
The colored people, having recovered
from their first fright, are working like
Trojans. The excitement cannot be
abated as long as the reports continue
to come in as they do. 1t is reported that
twelve dead bodies have been found in a
pile north of town, and there are no
means of bringing them here. Many
persons are missing and entire families
cannot be found. 1t is believed many ne
groes will be found in Post Oak creek.
Bodies are still being brought in and
will be during the day. If all reports are
to be credited the number of dead must
already reach $50. The storm passed two
miles from Denson and is thought to
have broken up beyond there. Telegraph
and telephone wires between here and
DeniSon are down, and many other towns
have no connection. 1t is feared the res
toration of telegraphic communication
will bring information of loss of life and
property in surrounding towns greater
than already estimated

THE BOYCOTT CALLED OFF,
But the A. p. A. Does Not Take the Major to
Its Bosom-Simply "EquaIizes"
Him.

Washington, May 16.-The report of
the advisory board of the supreme coun-
Gil of the American Protective associa-
ton, which was finally completed this
morning, while exonorating Major Nc
Kinley of some OF the charges that had
been made against him and the with
drawing of the boycott, does not declare
him to be the choice of the American
Protective association. The Ohio candi-
date, as far as the boards action affects
him, is to stand on the same footing be-
fore the American Protective association
as the other presidential candidates. The
board condemns no one and does not In
dorse any one. The executive committee.
which issued the boycott, is not excori-
ated, as was predicted in some quarters.
The board recommends that its report
be given to the press. 1t Is understood
that some of the western republican
members of the order insist that the
report does not go far enough, and they
are determined that the supreme council
shall make good the deficiencies. The
council was engaged this morning in
considering amendments to it's bylaws.
The portion of the advisory board re-
port relative to the Mckinley boycott
says that the executive committee were
justified, on the face of the affidavits, in
sending out the boycott But after the
matter had been referred to a committee
of three, and it had submitted its report,
statements were presented to the board
which showed the charges to be incorrect
and not sustained. Therefore Mckinley
'"is placed on equality with Allison, Reed,
Quay, Morton, Cullom and Harrison, as
far as the American Protective associa-
ton is concerned
