H. A. DALEY SHOOTS HIS WIFE.
THEN TAKES POISON.
Gained His Bride Through an Ad-
vertisement in a Paper, but the
Marriage Was Unhappy.

GRAND RAPIDS (Mich), Aug. C.
Last April H. A. Daley of Jenison sent
a letter to Mayor Swift of Chicago say
ing he wanted a woman of mature
years as a wife The Mayor gave the
missive to the newspapers as a literary
curiosity. The result was Daley re-
ceived nearly 500 answers.
Out of the lot Daley selected Mrs.
Hattie VI. Newton, a Chicago widow.
Three months ago they were married.
Daley was 10 years old, his bride 10.
Their life was unhappy. Daley became
very jealous when his wife returned to
Chicago for long visit. They quar-
relied bitterly and finally separated
Daley gave his wife three days to re-
turn to her allegiance as his wife The
time was up last midnight, but she re-
fused to resume wifely relations. He
forced his way into her bed chamber
and pressed his army musket against
her heart, at the same time firing The
woman seized the muzzle and pushed
it aside, but the charge penetrated her
right side. She staggered from the
house in her nightgown and fell bleed
ing in the doorstep of Luman Jenisens
house, where she was found.
Daley was arrested. and as there is
no jail at JENSEN, remained in custody
of officers until morning, when he was
to be taken to Grand Haven. He was
allowed TO enter a saloon and drink
several glasses of beer.
At the bar he fell backward in
spasms and was dead in a few minutes
He had managed TO slip strychnine into
the beer. The woman may recover.
Daley left a note indicating that he
had contemplated suicide by drowning
\ postscript adds:
TOO many railroad men on my place
for my good health"

able money and drew $50 a month pen
sion for the loss of hand in the war

marriage and had a daughter, Mrs
Taylor of Grandeville. Nothing is
known of Mrs. Daley except that she
has a son in Montreal. She lived a
secluded life in Jenison and had few
friends and no confidants.

NEW TARIFF ACT.
THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT
AGAIN ENTERS A PROTEST.
Asserts That Their Sugar is Taxed
Higher Than That of Other
Countries.

WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-The Ger
man Government has again entered a
formal protest against the application
to German sugar of Section of the new
tariff Act, by which German sugar
would be taxed with a higher duty than
that from other countries. 1t is not de-
MED that the German sugar clearly
comes within the provision of Section ),
by reason of the payment of an export
bounty, but the assertion is made that
the additional duty imposed is in effect
a discrimination against German sugar,
which is Incompatible with the most
favored nation rights that are secured
to German productions by the treaties
now in force, and also with the pro-
visions of the Saratoga agreement of
August -, 1891, in which the German
Charge d Affaires, Mr. Won Reichenau,
in his note to the Secretary of State, APP
pears to revive the position taken in
June, 1896, with respect to the duties
leviable upon bountied sugars. The
matter was then considered in connec-
ton with the discriminating tariff pro-
vision of August Z, 1894 in relation to
salt duties by the Attorney General, Mr..
Olney, who held that under that Act
salt was legally dutiable. Mr.. Won
Reichenau's note refers generally to
treaties, but it seems his particular re-
ference is to the treaty of May l, 1888,
between the United States and Prussia.
1t is observed by the State Depart
ment that it is still without any infor-
nation from the German Government
on the point raised by Mr.. Olney as to
whether the treaty with Prussia is to be
taken as effective with respect to other
portions of the empire, or is applicable
only to the productions of Prussia ex-
ported from Prussia.
AS to the contention that the tariff
provision is Incompatible with the terms
of the Saratoga treaty of August. 1891,
the State Department takes the position
that the agreement ceased with the
passage of the tariff Act of August 81
1894, which repealed the Section ) of the
Act of October /, 1890.

TRAGEDY IN
MADEIRA COUNTY.
Lewis A. Wofford Shot and Killed
by Patsy Rearden.
The Shooting the Outcome of a Quarrel
Over Some Cattle.
Chief Juan Lopez of the Papago
Tribe of Indians Shot and In
stantly Killed by a Pima Indian
During Drunken Debauch
Near Maricopa, Arizona.

MADEIRA, Aug. 6-News was re-
ceiveG here this morning of a shooting
ARRAY that took place last evening in
the mountains
The particular locality was on the
road or mountain trail between Fine
Gold and Crane Valley, at the ranch
of McSwain.
The principals in the affair were
Lewis A. Wofford, a rancher, aged 80
years, native of Texas, and Patsy
Rearden, young man about the age Of
20.
From the present meager reports it
seems that the particulars are as fol-
lows:
Wofford, who is the owner of a small
number Of cattle, was in search of some
strays, and found them in the corral
where Rearden was in charge. He de-
manded that Rearden open the gate
and allow him to take his cattle home.
This Rearden refused to do until res
titution was made to him of the dam
age that had been caused by the cat
tie.
Wofford refused to pay any damages
and started to unlock the gate, when
Rearden ordered him to desist. This
caused a dispute, with the result that
Wofford was killed Whether Wofford
made any attempt to shoot at Rearden
cannot be ascertained until further
particulars are gathered. 1t seems that
there were no witnesses to the ARRAY.
Rearden Immediately came to
O'Neals and gave himself up to Dep
uty Sheriff Strivens, and is now on his
way to MADEIRA, where his preliminary
examination will be held
To-day Coroner Payne, in company
with the District Attorney started for
the scene of the shooting, for the pur-
pose of holding an inquest. Until they
return no further particulars can be
aScertained

AN INDIAN CHIEF KILLED.
By a Member of Another Tribe
During Drunken Dehauch

PHOENIX (Arz.), Aug! 6.-Chief Juan
Lopez of the Papago Tribe on the
ella Bend reservation, was shot and
instantly killed last night near Marico-
pa Station by a Pima Indian called
Louis.
The Indians at the camp near Mari
copa have for days been on a prOtract-
ed spree, securing whisky from Next
cans. According to authentic informa
ton, Lopez had gone to stop the de-
bauch, but instead, himself became In
toXicated and made more trouble than
any of the others. This resulted in an
attack upon him by four Pimas. AS he
was man of giant stature and
strength, the chief was having the best
of the fight, until Louis, securing a
revolver, shot him through the heart.
The murderer is still at large, but will
be brought in by the Indians if wanted
by the authorities.

The Southern California Company
to Have a Rival.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. &C. R. Lloyd
of this city is at the head of a proposed
new electric power company, which is
to be the equal in magnitude of the
Southern California Company.
The originators of the scheme have
acquired the water rights above the
head works of the Southern California
Power Company. A diverting dam will
be built at Corkscrew Falls, on Bear
Creek, and the water will be conveyed
in fumes and tunnels to Deer Creek,
where it will be piped from there to
the junction of Bear Creek and the
Santa Ana Here the power house
will be built.

The yellow metal is there, he says, but
it does not lie around on the ground
in chunks waiting to be scooped up.
1t can only be secured by patient and
uncommonly laborious placer mining,
interspersed with many weary miles of
tramping around from pocket to pock-
ct. He further says the journey to the
diggings from Juneau is an enterprise
calculated to pale the stoutest heart.
Beyond all this. winter is already be-
ginning in that region, and any one
who starts must stop over at Juneau
until next May. There is not food
enough in all Alaska to keep the people
who are planning to go there for
month

Klondyke region is in Canada, without
stretching an elastic boundary line

police will have something to say about

interested in Randsburg properties, and
is an old and experienced miner The

country at least two years.
NATTER OF CANADIAN CUSTOMS.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Represen-
tative j. Hamilton Lewis of the State
of Washington to-day had a confer
ence with the Treasury officials in re-
gard to customs matters on the Alaska
Canada frontier. Mr.. Lewis said that
he had received information which he
deemed trustworthy to the effect that
the Canadian Commissioner of Customs
had issued a special order fixing an
exorbitant rate of duty on everything
brought by miners entering the Klon-
dyke country by way of Alaska. Ac
cOrding to Mr.. Lewis information, this
duty was 10 cents a pound on goods of
every character.
The Treasury officials are inclined to
doubt the accuracy of this report, but
have taken means to ascertain the
facts. If, however, it should be found
to be true the action of the Depart
ment in establishing a branch customs
house at Dyea may be reconsidered,
and steps taken to protect the rights
of American miners in the premises.

whom he should marry. The friend
somewhat testify replied, "Any one. +"
But Edison was not without sentiment
when the time came. One day, as he
