His lungs were his weak point, and
his voice was never strong
His finger joints were so large as to be
genuine curiosities. He was
an enormous eater, but was content
with bread and meat, if he had plenty
of it. But hunger seemed to put him in

had false teeth, which did not fit and

Such was the campfire portrait limned
by an old soldier, roughly drawn, but
vigorous and probably true to life.
A more pleasing and equally faithful
portrait was that given by an English
actor who CHANGED Mount Vernon way
in 1898, the year before Washington
passed away from earth. As he was rid
ing along the Potomac below Alexan-
dria he came upon an overturned chaise
containing q man and q woman. As he
rode up another horseman came upon
the scene, galloping from the opposite
direction. Together they set the horse
upon his legs, but "the vehicle was still

cupied at least half an hour, under a
meridian sun, in the middle of July,
which fairly boiled the perspiration out
Of our foreheads.
"When the chaise had gone,' says
the actor, my companion, after an
exclamation at the heat, offered very
courteously to dust my coat, a favor
the return of which enabled me to
take a deliberate survey of his per-
son. He was a tall, erect, well made
man, evidently advanced in years, but

nand. the Lar;more murderer of a week
ago. was captured twelve miles south of
there in the sand hills by Charles Thuen.
He gave up without fighting, and says
he is worn out by the effort to escape
and ready to take whatever may come,
This probably means a very speedy
death.
Devils Lake, N. D.. May I.-August
Normand, the Larimore double murder
er and ravisher, was located by Indian
police Saturday in a grove of poplars
on Holstein ranch. about twelve miles
south Of Fort Totten. near Cheyenne
river. The grove contains about forty
acres of brush and timber, and is ad-
mirably adapted for purposes of conceal
ment. Normand is armed with a shot
gun, for which he traded his pony.
No attempt has yet been made to
drive him out of the grove, as It is sure
that one or more would be killed If such
an'attempt was made, and it is thought
best to try and starve him out The
Indian agent at Fort Totten left for
the scene Sunday with his Indian police
force and will assist In the capture.
Deputy sheriffs and deputy United
States marshals are also on the ground,
and the place will be watched so closely
that escape Is practically impossible.

LEoNA's DEATH ROLL is THIRTEEN


Nine SO Badly Burned as to Make Identifi-
cation Impossible.
New York, May 1.-THE Mallory line
steamship Leona, which sailed from this
port Saturday afternoon, returned at a
late hour Sunday night with thirteen
corpses of men, women and children
aboard. They had been burned and suf-
located on Saturday night. Ten of
them were Storage passengers. one was

ards. The dead are: Storage passen-

York. butcher; Alfred Howey, steward;
Alfred Long, New York, steward.
An examination Of the steerage COM
partment was made as soon as the ship
had cooled off sufficiently and thirteen
corpses were discovered. Their attitudes
showed that they were trying to escape
when death found them. Some lay hud-
died in a heap. Others were on their
knees with hands outstretched, as IL to
grope their way through the darkness
and the binding smoke. Nine Of them
were burned SO that they were utterly
unacceptable. Part of the Leona's
cargo consisted Of matches, which were
stored near the wheel house, and It Is
possible that the fire was caused by the
matches.
