BANK ROBBER CAUGHT.
The Man Who Participated in the
Killing of Cashier Stickney
Apprehended.

Montreal, April 2O-Joseph E. Kelly,
accused of the murder of Joseph A.
Stickney, cashier of the Great Falls
National bank, SOmersworth, NH. was
captured here last night by Detectives
Campeau and O'Keefe, acting under or
ders of Silas H. Carpenter, chief of the
detective force of Montreal, in a house
of i'll repute.
The story that Kelly took the Cana
dian Pacific train at Cookshire juno
tiOn, Quebec, for Montreal Friday night
or Saturday morning seems to have
been true. AS far as can be ascertain
ed he proceeded on the train to Mon
treal Junction, about IA miles west of
here. There he jumped from the train
while it was going at good speed and
proceeded to St Justine De Newton,
about 40 miles away. After taking sup
per in Berasds' hotel that evening he
took the Toronto express back to Mon
treal, arriving here about O'clOc. Up
on arriving in Montreal, Kelly, who was
in the garb of a woman, procured a cab
and drove around town. Stops were
made at several drinking resorts, and
Aggie AShtOns house was reached
about 1880. Kelly was warmly receiV-
ed in the house, and wine flowed free
ly. About midnight the detectives en-
tered the house and confronted the sup
posed woman. They accused him of
being Kelly, and he calmly replied: Il
guess you chumpS have got your man
this time" On being taken to the cen
traI police station 81, 700 were found in
his clothing. on being questioned he
declined to say anything about the
murder, except that he had an acconp-
lice. He added that the accompIice told
him that he had fixed Cashier Stick
ney- Repeated questions failed to elicit
further information form the prisoner.
On Kelly were found two letters, one
to his father stating that an accOmplice
whose name he claimed he did not
know, but who was an inmate with
him in a reformatory somewhere in
New Hampshire, had done the deed, and
that it was at the suggestion of the
accomplice that Stickney was murder
ed. The original design was to scare
Stickney by showing a revolver, Kelly
waiting outside while the accomplice ac-
cOmpliShed his work. Another letter
was to girl named Olive, written in a
similar strain.

BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS.
Eighty Shots Fired and Two Men
Were Killed.

Nosales. Ariz., April 20.-Senor Juan
Salazar, the president-mayOr of Santa
Cruz, a Mexican town about so miles
from here came to NOgales to inform
by telegraph the state authorities of a
battle that had taken place at LochieI
between five soldiers and some outlaws
who are badly wanted by the Mexican
officials. Lochiel is a village situated
on the boundary line between the Uni
ted States and Mexico. The bandits,
Angel Escalante, George Brady and
others, who had been staying on the
Arizona side of the line, got drunk and
strayed over to the Mexican side and
began to make trouble
A citizen Immediately set out for San
ia Cruz some miles distant to notify
the authorities of the outlaws appear
ance in Sonora. On hearing the news
the president dispatched five soldiers to
capture them. The soldiers arrived at
LOchiel in the evening and they imme-
diately went to an adobe hut where the
men were The soldiers requested them
to surrender whereupon the bandits all
drew guns and commenced to fire, re-
treating through the back door. In the
encounter which enSued over so shots
We're exchanged, and resulted in the
killing of one bandit and the wOunding
of a soldier. After the ammunition had
given out the desperadOeS returned to
the Arizona side, taking their dead
companion with them, and the soldiers
were compelled to return to Santa
Cruz empty handed. An effort Will
probably be made to eXtradite the law
breakers.

BLACKBURN
MAY WIN.
Great Excitement Existed at
Frankfort Today
When 1t Was Discovered That
There Is
STILL A GOOD CHANCE
For the Election of Joe Black
burn to the Senate.
Even His Friends Had Given Up
All Hope.

Frankfort, Ky, April 2O.-State house
When the joint assembly met today
both the new senator and Senator OgiI-
vie were on hand. Many pronounced
the bringing here of Senator Ogilvie,
who looks like a dying man, a crying
shame. There was no journal reading,
but the Blackburn Democrats demand
ed preliminary roll call. The latter
showed present and impaired los and 55
necessary to a choice. The ffty-frst
ballot begun but all voted as they have
heretofore and the ballot stood:
Hunter So, Blackburn 49, Martin Il.
Boyle 5, Stone / Necessary to a choice
So Nearly all the Republicans opposed
to DR.. Hunter were absent and paired
Siege was away without a pair and this
explained why Hunter came within two

ment was made and the f1fty-secOnd
ballot was begun.
The announcement that the Bell
Crumbaugh contest would come up
caused a great deal of excitement for
should the Democrat, be seated, the
strict party vote would tie, SO to 90, just
as it was during the memorable session
last winter. This would give the Black

thing they have not had since the Ses-

TO STUFF CONVEY"
The Famous Postal Dog to be Placed
in the Museum.

Washington, D. c., April 2O-Captain
James White, superintendent of the
railway mail service, has written to
Cleveland to learn if it will be possible
to preserve the body of "Owney,'' the
famous dog killed in that city If il Is
not too late the dogs skin will be stuff
ed and exhibited in the postal museum
in this city.
"Owney'' was the most extensively
travelled dog in the world. Originally
he belonged to a railway postal clerk
in the far west, who one day took him
aboard of mail car for a several hun
dred mile run. "Owney'' conceived a
passionate fondness for travel and new
er again could he be induced to remain
at home.
During the past ten years he has
travelled over almost every railroad
route in the country. One clerk would
pass him along to another for safe
keeping, and the end of each run he
would be passed along again. On an
average he would make the rounds of
the whole mail system about once a
year.
OF recent years, owing to his old age
"OwneY' had grown cross and crab
bed. He met an ignOminous death. Hav-
ing tried to bite a postal clerk in Cleve-
land Friday night, he was shot by a
policeman.

LAW IS UPSET.
Kansas City Courts Law Declared Un.
constitutional

Kansas City, April 20--Judge Alden
of the district court handed down a de
cision yesterday in the habeas corpus
case of w. Flowers in which he prac-
tically declares the new city courts law
unconstitutional.
The justices of the peace of this dis
trict are feeling highly jubilant over
Judge AIden's decision, as they feel con-
fident that it is a forerunner of the act
ion to be taken by the supreme court
when the matter comes up for hearing
there.
Flowers. who made the application for
his release on Il writ of habeaS corpus,
was arrested some time ago on war
rant issued by Justice of the Peace
Sims
He was taken before the magistrate
who committed him to the county jail
in default of bond to await prelimina-
~ hearing. Attorney J. A. Smith ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that the new law creating city
courts relieved the justices of all juris-
dlctIon in criminal cases. The law was
operative when Justice Sims issued the
commitment for Flowers incarcerati ton.
Inc case was argued Friday and taken
uhder Amusement by Judge Alden. The
ueclSlon handed down yesterday denies
the writ, and remanded the prisoner to
the custody of the sheriff thus acknowl-
edging the right of the justice to try
criminal cases and virtually declaring
the new law void.

After six months of imprisonment his
turn finally came to be tried, and a

He spoke cody as if he had been go

"capilla." Then there was the orninous
rafting of keys, the sliding of heavy
bolts, and then the pOnderous iron door
swung slowly open.
Farewell to all,' said Garcia
Farewell and courage" exclaimed
his comrades with husky voices.
Garcia paused in the passage and
called back'tAt last will gain liberty."
He never weakened and he astonished
his executiOners by his coOlness The
four executiOners were bad marksnen

The Turkish artillery this afternoon
began cannOnading TyrnavO, the Greek
town to the northwest of Larissa and
only about ten miles from the Greek
headquarters, the Greeks having fallen
back upon TyrnavO.
The whole chain of mountains from
Tchaissazi to the Milouna pass is now
in possession of the Turks. The last
brush on the hills was very brief, the
Greeks making but little resistance.
The Turks have captured several
prisoners including an Italian vOlun-

RIVER SLOWLY RISING.
Mississippi Almost Stationary at St
Louis. But Missouri Booming.

ST. Louis, April 2O.-The river here
has been almost stationary for the past
"a hours, but from the fact that it is ris-
ing above and the Missouri is also
showing a high stage, another advance
is feared.
At Hannibal, above here, where the
river shows q rise of A foot, Pearl is
land is again submerged, the only visi-
Bile objects being the tops of trees ana
houses.
Bay island is also under water and all
the inha bitants, excepting two families,
have moved off for the second time this
season.
The track of the St. Louis, KeOkuk
& Northwestern railroad is under water
to the depth of three inches in some
places within a distance of two miles
above Canton, but the track is on rock
and it will take a rise of at least two
feet more to prevent the running of
trains.
The usual daily report of the local
weather bureau, issued this morning,
makes the following prediction:
The river at St. Louis will continue
to rise slowly, but in the absence Of
heavy rain cannot reach % feet before
Friday night or Saturday" CThis is
two feet below the danger Ine.)
THE Missouri will continue TO rise
slowly. The upper Mississippi viii con-
tinue to rise slowly south of KeOkuk,
but will probably come to a stand as
far south as Hannibal during Wednes-
daY night"

John Joseph NOuri, at One
Time Confined
In an Asylum For the Insane in
California.
RULES OVER CHALDEA
Claimed to Have Discovered Re-
mains of NOah's Ark,
And the Pacific Coast AuthOri-
ties Thought He Was Crazy.

San Francisco, April 2O.-The strange
ness of truth has often been comment
ed upon as exceeding the most fanciful
flights of fiction. An Illustration of
this is furnished in the career of John
Joseph Nouri who has been crowned
Patriarch at the Chaldean pontifcal
cathedral at Trichur Malalar and is ru-
Ter over Syrian Chaldeans. Four years
ago he was committed by Judge Walter
H. Levy to the asylum for the insane at
Napa and there he remained until Sep
tember, 1898. when by the efforts of M
NJ. Foote, president of the California
association for the protection of per
sons, he was restored to liberty. The
Rev. Chalmers EastOn, formerly Pres
byterian minister in this city now of
Washington, D c., is credited with
having learned the facts in letter
rom the Rev.John H. Barrows of Chi
cago, who is at present travelling in
India.
city from India a man who, by his
dress his manner and his speech was
easily recognized an an Oriental relig-
ious student. Not less remarkable than
his appearance was the story he told
He claimed to have discovered the re-
mains of NOahs ark on the summit of
Mt. Ararat When released from the
asylum Nouri claimed to have been
robbed of four medals studded with dia-
monds valued at 50, 500 ,OOO the gift of
the Cha1dean Greek church of a nego-
table note for 81, 500 and of his creden-
tials.
Dr. Chalmers Easton believed in him
and helped him in his journey east
ward. Later on he displayed his knOwl-
edge of Greek. and in Washington, D.
c.. at the Smithsonian institute trans
lated the heirogliphics on some tablets
there with surprising ease. Intent on
making his journey around the world,
he travelled on to London and from
there came in May, 1894, the story that
he intended to sue the United States
government for $4,000, 900 damages for
his i'll treatment while on his sojourn
here.
Now comes the climax to the story in
the letter from the Rev. John H. Bar
rows. declaring that John Joseph NOuri,
the depOsed king of the Chaldeans, has
been restored, that his claims have been
recognized and that the man who was
booked as f'unkempt hair and with
black Iuster eyes of a lunatic, is Ev-

FAIR CASE BEGUN.
The Famous Contest Seems at Last in
the Way of Settlement

San Francisco, April 20.-The trial of
the only remaining issue in the Fair
case has begun Instead of a contest
over the whole estate and a struggle
for twenty million dollars, it is a fight
for one million, the case having mar
rowed down to a legal battle over the
two pieces of real estate which Mrs
Nettie Craven says Senator Fair con-
veyed to her by pencil deeds a few
weeks prior to his death. The admin
istrators and heirs have for the time
forgotten their disagreements and in
this section have Joined forces against
Mrs. Craven whom they regard as their
common enemy
After considerable discussion by the
attorneys the court announced that the
question at issue was the alleged for
gerry of the deeds. This issue had been
raised by the answer of the administra-
tors to Mrs. Cravens' cross complaint
and in so far as the complaint of Miss
Virginia Fair raised the same issues the
intervenOr would be heard. Several
days will probably be consumed in Sc
curing an advisory jury for Probate
