CHARLES A. dana DEAD
The Most Picturesque Figure in Amer
ican Journalism Passed Over the
Dark River Yesterday.
SKETCH OF his LONG AND EYENTFUL LIFE
A Profound Scholar and Thinker, An
Exceptionally Able and Successful
Journalist, An Erratic and
Bitter Partisan.
SKETCH OF his LONG AND EVENTFUL LIFE

New York, Dot. 18.-Charles A. Dana,
editor of the New York Sun, died yester-
day, aged 78. He has been confined to
his house since June 10. The cause of
his death was cirrhosis of liver.
Charles Anderson Dana, editor, born
at Ainsdale, N. H., August 8, 1919. He
entered Harvard In 1889, and remained
there until 184l, In 1842 he joined the
Brook Farm community, in Roxbury,
Mass, and renamed there until 1874.
Thereafter, in connection with George
Ripley, Parke Goodwin and John 8.
Dwight, he edited the Harbinger, week
ly paper, devoted to social reform and
literature; this publication lasted from
1874 to 1847. At the end of this latter
he went to New York with wife and child,
and became connected with the New York
Tribune on small salary; in the course
of few years he became one of its prin.
cipal editors, and continued as such un-
til 1861. In 1856, in connection with Mr..
George Ripley, he printed the New Ameri
can Cyclop@dla, of which they were the
responsible editors; the work was COM
pleted in 1868. This publication has had
much success, and an improved edition
In ten volumes was issued in 1873 76.
From 1852 to 1865 he was in the service
of the government, during the last two
years officiating as assistant secretary of
war. On the return of peace, Mr.. Dana
became editor of the Chicago Republican,
daily, which failed of success. Iu 1868
he organized stock company that bought
out the New York Sun, daily newspa-
per, and made it influential and protita-
BILE. As an editor he was trenchant and
sarcastic, as critic able and opinionated,
as politician bitter aud erratic, with a
constant eye to business. His manifold
ability and industry we're unquestioned,
and yielded him large income. His pub
lished volumes include The Black Ant, a
translation (New York, 1S48). With Gen
eral James II. Wilson, he wrote Life of
Ulysses s. Grant (Springfeld, 1869. He
also edited The Household Book of Poetry,
first published in New York in 1857,
which has since passed through several
editions; in connection with Rossiter
johnson, he also compiled Fifty Perfect
Poems New York, 1881.

FAMOUS LUETGERT TRIAL.
Closing Argument on the Part OF the
Prosecution in PrOgress-Case Will
so to the Jury This Evening.

Chicago, oct. 49, The ninth week of
the famous Luetgert trial opened with
the greatest crush yet seen in the crimi-
nal court building. There we're numer
GUS unpleasant collisions between the
bailiffs and the turbulent people.
States Attorney Deneen began his clos.
ing argument. He opened with defense
of several of the leading witnesses for the
prosecution, whom Attorneys Vincent
and Phalen ridiculed. He then proceeded
with his argument, promising that it
should be brief.
Gentlemen there is absolutely no doubt
in this case" said Mr.. Deneen; "Luetgert
killed his wife. All this talk that the
woman left home while suffering from an
attack of insanity is the veriest bosh
ounningly devised and supported by per-
jured testimony"
Luetgert was noticeably nervous. He
moved about in his chair and tremor
shook his giant frame.
Deneen suddenly turned to Judge Tut.

he felt ill and dizzy. 81 would like to

A MOVE FOR ANNEXATION.
Business Men Of Cuba Desire q Union
with the United states.

Matanzas, Cuba, Oct. 18.-The business
element here, at Havana and elsewhere.
seems to have arrived at the conclusion
that the Madrid government cannot end
the war on basis of autonomy to Cuba.
Important merchants and sugar planters
of Spanish origin, and several Cubans of
prominence, have been holding secret
meetings and corresponding with people
in various parts of the island, with the
object of asoertainlng the views of the
commercial and planting community as
to the future for Cuba. 1t is expected
that majority Of the replies will be fa-
vorable to the annexation of Cuba to the
United States. As soon as it is asoer-
tained that the sentiment is in favor OF
annexation committee will be sent to
the United States with instructions to lay
the case clearly before the businessmen
of the United States and ask them tc
unite with the businessmen of Cuba in a
petition to the Washington government
to bring about annexation to the United
States.

Chelsea, 1. T., Dot. 18.-Muoh excite

emigration of Indians to Mexico next
spring, when the proposed United States
laws are to be put into effect in the terri

no further dependence on anything the
United States may agree to do, but will
place ourselves under the protection of a
government that has some regard for its
treaty promises. Communication is go
ing on between our people and the Mex

we shall reach satisfactory agreement
for removing to that country in body
is good. Our intention is to arrange to
have an independent state in Mexico;

al, appellants, deciding that there was no
evidence to support the claim of the ap'
pellants to the title claimed.
The appellants claimed title to IL
square leagues in the territory of New

Bartolome Baca by the acting governor
in 1919. She claimed to be one of the
legal heirs of Baca.

sented that there was no evidence of title
to any portion of the lands. The grant
thus rejected contains 250,000 acres, and

Maximiano Najera, who murdered Jo-
sepha Escobel and wounded her husband
and two other persons on the night of
Thursday, the 9th INST, has been posi-
lively located after a vain search of
weeks duration, by the officers, says
the Silver City Enterprise. He is now
encamped upon the high peak o. the Bear
mountain range, three miles west of Frank
Silva's ranch and about seven miles from
this city On Wednesday two Mexicans
saw and conversed with the murderer and
yesterday came to town and informed
Perfecto RODRIGUEZ The criminal was
wounded in the right side by Marshal
Kilburn on the night the crime was
committed. The marshal exchanged
about twenty shots with the murderer
who was armed with Winchester rifle
while the officer only had pistol, and
the criminal had the advantage of being
entrenched behind big boulders on the
hillside while the officer was on open
ground. The fellow is we'll supplied with
arms ana ammunition, he has 1880
Winchester rifle aud 45 calibre pistol.
He has two belts we'll filled with cartridges
and says be does not care how soon the
officers find him, that he will fight to the
death before he will submit to be cap
tured. half brother of the criminal has
been noticed going out in that direction
on horseback with various parcels tied
to his saddle, for several days past and
it is supposed that he has been giving
him food. There are several woodchop-
pers at work in the vicinity and it is
probable that they have helped him
either throuph fear or svmDAthy. He lOet
his hat in the house of Esoobel at the time
he committed his awful butchery, bat now
he wears small straw or chip hat.
An armed posse left Silver City before
daylight to try and capture the murderer.

out of the fact that the forfeited land
grant of the Atlantic q Pacific Railway
company was overlapped to some extent
by the lands claimed under government
grant by the Southern Pacific.
The Atlantic q Pacific company origin
ally claimed the lands in controversy and
its original maps of location along the
line of these lands were accepted by the
land Office, but congress declared the
lands forfeited, and thereupon the South
ern Pacific, whose grant overlapped that
of the Atlantic e. Pacific, set up title to
the lands.
The Circuit court, however, decided
against the Southern Pacific, and the
Supreme court today affirmed that decl-
sion as far as it concerns the railroad
company, but remanded to the lower
court for decision, the case of about
200 persons, who purchased part of the
lands from the railroad company.
