Unsupported Love Caused
Tragedy.
TOOK HIS OWN LIFE ALSO
Mrs T.. b. Catlin Was Shot Down in the
streets Of Anaconda by the
Assassin.

Anaconda, Mont. Feb. S.-~Barney
Beck shot Mrs. Z. B. Catlin while near
the corner of Fifth and Locusts streets,
this evening about 1920, while she was
returning with friends from a visit to
a neighbor. Three shots were fired, one
striking Mrs. Catlin between the Shout
ders, another grazing her hand and the
third missing her head.
Her friends tried to stop him, but he
threatened them with his revolver, and
escaped in the darkness.
About 10 minutes later he stood in
the middle of Third street, near Walnut
and deliberately shot himself through
the head. He was killed instantly.
Barney Beck was a printer by trade,
but has not worked for some time. He
formerly boarded with the Catlins, and
while there conceived a passion for
Mrs. Catlin which was in no way en-
couraged or recIprocated.
He has for four months haunted the
house, and was driven away by the
police and Mr.. Catlin.
At this hour the doctors are unable to
give the extent of the woman's in
juries.
Before it was learned that the man
had shot himself the town was aroused,
and searching parties rapidly organized
| Had some of these found him he would
! have been lucky to escape the sum-
mary justice which he dealt to himself
Barney Beck was unmarried, came
! from Quincy, H., and was about 81
! years of age.
| The shooting was done with 49,
! calibre revolver.

erged from the tunnel struck the pass
enger train, crushing in the side of
the ladies' coach and throwing it over
an embankment almost into the Missis-
sippi river.

Cincinnati, Feb. 9.-Al1 day the detec-
tives from three cities have been out
busily hunting the missing links in
the chain of circumstances by which
the story of the murder of Pearl Bryan

Also the search for the head has been

A very material addition to the dumb

In it was a bloody handkerchief and a
big stone to keep it from being blown
away. It was found in an angle be-
tween the Fort Thomas Electric railway
and the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad,
near their intersections, southeast of
Newport, KY. When the detectives ar
rive they will show the hat to the pris-
Oners.

TACOMA MIGHT SELL HER cnY HALL
Government Is Probable Purchaser
should the Price Suit

Tacoma, Wash, Feb 10.-AccOrding
to a letter from Senator Squire to
George Boardman, it may be possible
that the national government may pur-
chase the city hall, providing the city
cares to sell it. The building is first
class and conforms to all the require
ments of government buildings and
could probably be purchased at a less
sum than for which the government
could build. The building cost over
$4,000 and is probably worth at pres
ent 100000.

Will become one. 1t will be gain for New

The Cleveland Leader says that as
the bicycle has come to stay it has as
much right on the street and highway
as amy other vehicle. If costly pave
ments are to be built at public cost to
accommodate wagons and carriages,
which destroy the road, why shall they
not accommodate also the vehicle that
makes instead of cutting UP roadway
If public policy demands that highways
shall be maintained for the wheels that
break up the pavement, why shall not
those other properties that aid in pre-
serving the road be considered? These
are questions which carry the answers
with them. Cleveland has resolved to
tax bicyclists seventy-five cents year.
The wheelmen have thereupon held a
mass meeting and demanded that this
money, every cent of it, shall be ex-
pended upon the roads. The Leader
holds this to be just demand, and ar
CUES extendedly for the claim of the
wheelmen. There would really seem to
be but one side to the case.

The assault by resolution upon Gov
ernor Mckinley by a group Of dele
gates, unofficially, Of the Assembly of
the Supreme Council Of the American
Protective Association, as represented
in our Geographic dispatches yester-
day, was unmanly and indecent The
character of William Mckinley for
probity, uprightness and fair play
stands too high to be made the target
Of "the ie'' by any body Of men, so
angered and fevered by prejudice as
these delegates disclose they were,
when they resolved to boycott Governor
Mckinley. Whatever Mckinley told
the delegates was truth, of that let all
men rest assured. What he averred
to be his belief can be unhesitatingly
asserted to be sincere The Record
Union" has had many an occasion to
join issue with the views of Mr. Nc
Kinley; it has not agreed with him as
to the policy Of the Government in sew
eral respects, but 1t has knowledge that
he is thoroughly reliable man; that
his integrity and his reputation for
truth can and will stand against all
such embittered assaults as have been
made upon him by these whitehead
delegates. The assault was unseemly,
impertinent and indecent

ton. The reason why" is not far to
seek-the earthly matter has been
scraped and shoveled off, and there re-
main only the stones. In patches here
and there some true, clean and cemented
gravel will be found, and in such spots
the streets are hard, firm and free from
loose stones. Examples can be seen on
Seventh street between L and N and on
NJ street.
These facts are all important, and
should be well understood by the peo-
pie Of Sacramento, because something
must be done at once concerning the
graveled streets, and because common
justice demands that Superintendent
Croly shall not be held responsible for
that which by no manner Of means
could he have prevented
The "Record-Union's' idea is that as
the damaged streets have been accepted
and cannot now be reassessed for re-
pairs against adjacent property, the
one thing to do is to experiment with
one block at once to ascertain if clear
ing off the loose stone, dressing down
the surface a couple of inches, and the
placing of two or three inches of good
and pretty fine macadam metal, well
rolled and puddeled and surfaced with
stone DUST will not give satisfactory
results, street surfaces that will wear
well for three or four years more, pos
sibly longer.
The experiment proving successful the
proposition could then go to the people
to vote a sufficient credit to have all the
necessary mileage Of damaged streets
repaired. It is either something of this
kind that must be done, or tearing up of
streets and remaking Of them, which is
simply out of the question now f1nan-
cially, or to grin and bear the present
evil and damage and take the sharp
criticism we will get next winter.
But in the interests of fair play and
common justice, let not the sins of the
people, their officials and the authorities
that accepted as gravel the rocks and
cobbles now disclosed since the clay
has vanished, be visited upon Superin-
tendent Croly. He is not an ideal Street
Commissioner, but whoever holds him
wholly responsible for the present con-
ditions does so without sufficient war
rant.

San Francisco, having effected COM
pIete reform in her milk supply, has
now entered upon dairy herd inspec-
ton under the Milk Inspectors direc-
ton. The first work was done ON Mon
day, and the result was the discovery
in the first herd examined of four dis
eased animals from which the milk was
taken to be consumed by the people.
The dairyman in this first case hap
pened to be a sensible man. He ex-
posed his entire herd for test, and aided
the officers all he could When the tu-
berculosis-infected cattle were found
he at once consented to their being
killed, and told the Inspector to COON and
kill every animal not standing the test,
If it blotted out the entire herd. But
it is not probable that Mr. Dockery
What we have to do with is the fact
that diseased cows were found the very
first day the inspection began. We
were yesterday Informed that, in the
OplulOH Oh SOIllG WHO ought 10 KNOW,
there are cows in Sacramento herds
that are suspected Of being diseased
that show symptoms Of it unmistaka-
bly,. 1t is imperative therefore, that
the Supervisors at once order the in
spection to begin here. 1t should not
be delayed an hour. Every ounce of
milk drawn from a tuberculosis-in-
fected COW Is capable of conveying the
seeds of the disease to some human be-
ing. 1t Is therefore a matter Of hui
man life that is at stake-that long has
been at stake. To trifie with it longer
is all but criminal. Let inspection be
at once ordered, and let it be ascer-
tanned if it is true in this county that
or 10 per cent. Of the COWS are at
flicted with the disease, as Is sup
posed to be the average in all sections
of the State.
