WASHED ASHORE
One Body Recovered From the Caspar
Wreck

POINT ARENA, Oct. 26.-The body of
another member of the lost Caspar was
washed ashore today. 1t was recovered
just north of where the wreck was
stranded and has not been identified
Another body was seen in the breakers
but it was carried back into deep water
before it could be rescued.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26.-Capt
Andfindsen and Chris Larsen, one of the
crew of the ill-fated steam schooner
Caspar, wrecked on Saunders reef last
Saturday, arrived here today from
Point Arena on the steamer Whitesboro,
which also brought the body of Mate
Peterson. Both men bear traces of the
strain which they were compelled to
undergo. Capt Andfindsen said that he
had little to add to the story already told
of the loss of his vessel and thirteen
of her crew. He and Larsen were picked
up by two boatmen after drifting about
on a raft for thirteen hours He at
tributes the wreckr to the combined
force of the storm and the current, which
runs toward Saunders reef, the engines
being apparently powerless to keep her
off the rocks.

A MOTHER DEAD
Son and Daughter Suspected of the
Murder

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 26.-On August
Sd Mrs. Peter Hauptmann. wife of a
wealthy merchant, was attacked by
some one who cut her throat with u
bread knife, killing her instantly. At
the inquest it was decided that Louise
the insane daughter. had committed the
act. The strongest witness against
Louise was her brother, Will, whose SAN
ity at that time was unquestioned. The
next day an ex-policeman named Rob-
ert and Will went away on a trip, re-
turning a few days later, and it was
then stated that Will was insane. Ply
sicians examined him, and he was COM
mitted to an asylum. Now Wills
sweetheart, Annie Kline, and his step
sister, Mrs. Windshimer, say that on the
day of the murder they heard a commo-
tion and rushed into the room where
they found Will standing at the door
trembling, and that he had blood on his
shirt. They say Louise was sitting at
a table, eating, in exactly the same
position she was when Mrs. Windshimer
left her a few moments before. The
stories of the two women have aroused
much attention and thorough investi-
cation is being made.

DECKER HONORED
INDIAN INSURGENTS
Not at All Discouraged by Trifing
Defeats

SIMLA, Oct 26.-Official advices re-
ceived here today from Kharappa an
nounce that a large foraging party of
British troops yesterday captured the
village of Rimadban and secured GUAM
tity Of supplies. On retiring the troops
were hotly followed by the enemy to
within mile of the British camp. On
the British side nine men, including Col.
Hadow, were wounded.
The confidence of insurgent tribesmen
is increasing and they are offering de-
termined front in all directions. Tho
British officers say that the tribesmen
excel in guerilla warfare and are Won
derful skirmishers. The enemy is sup
piled with ammunition and large rein
forcements are joining the insurgent
camps. The dispatch from Semphaga
gives the official list Of killed and
wounded at the storming of Dargai
ridge as being 1876 of which number
thirty-s seven were killed.
SIMLA, Oct. 26.-It is estimated that
the tribesmen have massed 10000 men
at Semphaga pass. where they are busy
making rifle pits in the sangars and
Strengthening their defences. 1t is gen.
orally believed, however, that it will be

flank. though hard fighting is possibly
in store.
Meanwhile 1t is bad news that the
tribesmen have begun to operate on the
British lines Of communication. The
fear is that, finding this the most sue
cessful means of delaying the British
advance, they will detach still larger
bodies to attack the British conveys and
cut up the escorts.
This (Tuesday) evening, the tribesmen
harrassed the British camp near
Khangbur by constant we'll directed
fire for several hours Nearly thirty
non commissioned officers and men were
slightly wounded. A telegraph wire
was cut close to the camp.
A picturesque but unfortunate Incl
dent occurred on the Shinwari side of

dynamite rammed down in the roadbed.
That would have done it.
II don't say that we have any evidence
that such was the case, but when sent
word to our detective, Mr.. Humphreys,
to make Investigations along that line,
he told me that he had reason to suspect
something of the sort before. So l
ordered that thorough investigation be
made
You must bear in mind that an hour
before this wreck another and heavier
train passed over the road in safety;
that thirty minutes before that train
went up on the other track and noticed
nothing wrong, and that nobody heard
any report. Whatever caused the acct
dent it is certain that the engine went
clear over the obstruction and was in
jured after it left the track"
This view was corroborated later by a
special engineer who had come with the
party. He examined the engine and
found that all it's injuries are what are
considered superficial among railroad
men.
