DUESTROW CONVICTED.
The Wealthy Murderer of Wife and
Child Must Hang.
HIS MILLIONS CANNOT SAVE HIM.

The Murderous Millionaire, who Hoped to
Escape Through the Use of His Money,
Tried the Insanity Dodge, but without
Erect-rhc Case WIN be Appealed.
UNION, Mo, Feb 3.-The celebrated
case Of DIR. Arthur Ducstrow, the ST.
Louis millionaire, who has been on trial
during the past month for the cold blooded
murder of his wife and baby two years
ago, ended yesterday. After arguments
that took up the greater portion of Satur-
day, and lasted until almost midnight, the
case was given to the jury, the members
of which went to rest without considering
it. Yesterday morning the jury took up
the case, and on the first ballot unani.
mously found the defendant guilty OF
murder in he first degree This is the
second trial that DIR. Duestrow has had on
the charge of murder, the first one result
ing in hung jury last year
The terrible crime with which he was
charged was committed in February, 1894.
One day that month his wife and child
were at home awaiting his coming to take
drive. When he came into the house
Duestrow, who was drunk, began to abuse
his wife, and finally shot her down in cold
blood. He then picked up his 3-year-old
boy, beautiful child, and, holding it at
arms length, killed it with pis,ol shot
through the head His wife fingered for
several days and finally died
After his arrest Ducstow, with the help
OF his fortune, tried TO cvadc the conse-
quences Of his crime. Ex-Governor John
SON. who is credited with being one of the
finest criminal lawyers of this state, was
given charge of the case and was assisted
by Colonel Nat Dryden, Charles Noland
and j. Wesley Booth. Prosecuting At
( torncy Zacharitz, of st. Louis, was as
sisted by Judge Bolte, prosecuting at
| torney Of Franklin county, Judge Gallen-
/ kamp and Lee Merriwether. Counsel for
the defense endcavored TO establish a plea
of insanity, but after two inquiries held
before juries, in which much expert testi-
mony was heard on both sides, it was given
/ up and the case came to trial in Union, a
/ change of venue having been taken from
| st. Louis.
Throughout the last trial before Judge
! Hirzel, Governor johnson and his assist
ants kept up the insanity idea, and were
ably seconded by the defendant, who en-
deavored to create the impression that he
was crazy.
When the result of the jury's delibera-
tions was made known Duestrow's coun-
sci stated that an appeal to the supreme
court would be made.
Duestrow received the verdict calmly
He sat smoking cigarette as the judge
read the paper handed in by the jury. AS
far as external appearances go, he was the
coolest man in the court room.

Passed a Burning Vessel at Sea.

tine Modoc arrived yesterday, and reports
having sighted vessel burning at sea on
Jan. 20, about eleven miles west of Cape
Flattery. The vessel is supposed to be the
Ninevah, which sailed Jan. is from Van
couver for the British South Colonies
When sighted the vessels stern was all on
fire and the mizzen mast was gone, so il
could not be ascertained whether she was
bark or ship. The Modoc stayed neal
for twenty-four hours, but as there were
no signs of the crew. and the fire had
passed the mizzen mast, it was decided the
crew must have deserted the vessel

bridges and roadbeds all through this sec
tion. The water at Calhoun station was
the highest for thirty years
At Terry, Miss, the very heavy rains
which fell for forty-eight hours caused Il
general overflow Of streams Bridges were
carried away in all directions, causing
loss of many thousands of dollars to the

Canton, Miss, reports the most destruc-
tive overflow known in that section for
twenty years The entire western portion
of the city is inundated from two to five
feet. Houses are flooded, and in some cases
the inmates were awakened in the morn
ing by water coming into their houses.
The people of the overlowed section have
been taken by boats to other sections of
the city. The Illinois Central railroad is
submerged and many bridges destroyed.

still rising, being six inches over the Santa
| Fe track for two miles near Allen farm.
| The two rivers have united between Nava
sofa and Allen farm, making stream

/ flood will reach high figures The Qua
chita river rose thirty feet within thirty
six hours, and the torrent of waters swept
everything before it.

ANTELOPE VALLEY.
Direct Roads to the Gold Fields-Good
Markets in Sight.

Who says Lancaster is dead town?
We are going to have direct road to the
gold fields, and that pretty pronto. Then
we will be closer to these mines than any
other producing section. Then we will
always have good market for our hay,
grain, meat, poultry. butter eggs, etc.,
etc.
The road is sure thing, for the men
and teams are out making it. They are
prepared to finish it before returning.
When it is done, it will not only open
a market for Antelope valley, but Will
make Lancaster the last trading point
for all the team travel from Los Angeles
and the south coming up the Soledad or
the San Francisquito canyon, for it will
make an easy, direct route.
a meeting of nearly MI the residents
of Lancaster was held in the school,
house on the evening of the 18th, to hear
the reports of the committees which
had been looking into the matter.
II. D. Robertson, George r Duntley and
A. d. Beery had done their work well.
They had spent seven days in going over
the different routes, and had visited the
different camps in the gold fields
Randsburg. st. Elmo, Cow Wells, etc.
They reported immensely rich mines out
there, which would be permanent and
prosperous as water is developed and
mills are put in. They said the rich ore
Is not confined to one spot. but extends
far beyond Randsburg From one ridge
Mr.. Robertson said he saw and counted
over 100 new camps, which had been es-
tablished since his last visit a month
previous. They say there is no doubt
about the richness and permanency Of
the mines. as there Is enough ore in
sight to keep the mills running for years.
and new rich Lodges are being constantly
struck.
A route was found and stakes were
set along 1t where a good road could be
built. over which an average span of
horses could haul 25oo pounds from Lam
caster to Randsburg In two days, and
not encounter hill needing a brake
either way. Along this route water
could be had at convenient places, except
that a we'll should be sunk this side of
Randsburg.
W. S. Melick reported having con-
ferred with the Santa Fe officials, but
could not get their cooperation in
changing the stage line from Kramer to
Rogers.
After full discussion of the matter
the meeting unanimously decided to 20
ahead and put the road through and de-
velop water along the route. H. D. Ro-
berson was appointed to take charge Of
the matter and solicit subscriptions.
Since then Mr.. Robertson, with conf
mendable energy, got between $3.50 and
$500 subscribed in money, produce. labor.
etc.
Yesterday morning Messrs. Robertson,
G. F. and Frank Duntley Freydendall
and Kerr started out with fourteen
horses, machinery and provisions, pre-
pared to put the road through. This will
mean much for this section.-AnteIope

HIS FRIENDS WE'RE DEAD.
Old Thomas Dawson Finds No One to
Greet Him.

Bent with age, crippled with rheuma-
tism, and SO feeble that he could scarce
ly walk, Thomas Dawson, nearly 80
years of age, was brought to the police
station last night by kind-hearted ex-
pressman. The old man was without
home or friends in a strange land.
In a quavering voice, Dawson said he
had only a couple of hours before, ar
rived in the city on Santa Fe train,
coming from London, Canada. Two
years ago he spent the winter in this city,
stopping with some nch-Canadian
friends on Also street He decided this
year to come out again, as he feared the
long, cold Canadian winter.
On arrival at the depot he engaged the
expressman to take him to the address
on Also street. What was his surprise
to find strangers occupying the place,
and inquiry developed the fact that his
friend had been dead several months
and his widow had gone back east. Da-
vison had some money, but after trying
several lodging houses and failing to get
room, was brought to the station.
Clerk Gridley has a soft heart and ac-
cordingly took the old man in had him
given a bed in the receiving hospital,
and will today endeavor to find some
place where he will be properly carel
