MARRIED BY A LAY WOMAN
Sensational Story in the Allan Gregory
VIII Case in Chicago

Will Ease III ChiChSO
CHICAGO, Oct 10. "A most dramatic
scene was witnessed yesterday in the
probate court when the hearing of the
contest over the estate of the late AL
len Gregory was being had Mrs.
Lille D. Gregory, Il niece by mar
riage of the dead cattle dealer took
the stand and testified that she was
the person who performed the mar
riage ceremony which it is alleged
bound Allan Gregory and Martha ely
borne, his sweetheart of forty
years, man and wife. Allan Gregory
known as the Father of the stock
yards" died August last, leaving an
estate valued at $1,000, 900. He was
supposed to be without wife or child,
and letters of administration were
issued to collateral heirs. Soon after
this, however, Miss Martha ely borne,
or, as she claims, Mrs Allan Gregory,
asked that she be declared the widow
and the American Trust and Savings
bank appointed administrator.
1t is alleged that Miss ely borne en-
entered the nome OF MI. Gregory III
1892 as member of the family. She
was generally known as Miss Clyborne,
although it is asserted that Mr.. Greg
DRY on more than one occasion intro
duced her as his wife. Allan Gregory
was 70 years old when he died, while
the present claimant is about 62 years
of age. She is member of one of the
best known families in Chicago.
The witness said she had first met
Miss Clyborne at her uncle's house
July A. 1892. This was the date upon
which Mrs. Gregory says she per-
formed the marriage ceremony. Mrs.
Gregory and her husband reside in
Kansas City, where she publishes a
magazine devoted to the interests of
the wives of cattlemen.

A MAD FARMERS CRIMES.
Henry Willie Beats His wife, Ignites His
Property and Kills Himself.

WAMEGo, Kan, Oct 80. - Henry
Willie, prosperous Wabaunsee
county German farmer, beat his wife
yesterday afternoon, saturated the
kitchen of his large farm house
with coal oil, set it and his grain
stacks and large new barn on fire
and, taking his shotgun, leisurely
walked up a hill and sat down to
watch the conhagration. Charles
Warren, neighbor, saved the
house, but the barn with all
its contents, including some horses,
some other outbuildings and the
grain were destroyed Other neigh
bors arrived, but nobody would go
near Willie until two shots had been
heard, when he was found stretched
out dead. He had discharged both
barrels into his head by means Of a
stick inserted in shoe strap and the
trigger guard.
Willie's mind had been affected ever
since, as war prisoner, he had been
nearly starved to death.

SH; Francisco, Oct. 80. The Alaska
Commercial company's steamer, Elk
celsior, Captain Higgins, has arrived
fourteen days from St Michaels and
eight and a half days from Unalaska.
1t brought 5000 ounces of gold, all
belonging to the Alaska Commercial
company. No miners came down on
it. 1t carried three passengers, Mr..
and Mrs. Ducos, who started some
time since for Dawson City, but got
no further than st. Michaels, and Ed
ward Hamilton, the journalist. There
had been no recent communica ton
with Dawson City, the Yukon being
impossible, but the latest information
received from Fort Yukon, which now
constitutes the base of supplies for
the places further north, was that the
people are swarming out of Dawson
City and Circle City by every possible
means, to escape suffering and pos
sible starvation.

HENRY GEORGE.

brain and undaunted courage was
physically frail, and the strain of an
exciting campaign. requiring speech
making at points many miles apart,
night after night, was more than ma
ture could stand.
He kept it up to the end, and only a
few hours before the dread messenger
cried halt, Henry George had ad-
dressed enthusiastic audiences in three
of the towns of the borough of Queens
and still larger semblaged in an
uptown hall here.
He spoke at milestone at o'clock,
and made speeches at College Point
and Flushing before returning to New
York 10 speak at the Central opera
house. Mrs. George went with him.
All the halls in which he spoke were
filled, and at College Point and Flush
ing crowds were turned away.
In his last speech Mr.. George said
81 believe all the needed reforms are
summed up in that philosophy
right of every man to eat, to drink, to
speak as he sees fit, so long as he does
not entrench on the rights of any
other man. l believe that God, the
Father, can take care of His own 'ws.
If am elected, and believe ~ 1
will be elected, will enforc" law
upon the rich and poor alike.
81 have pledged myself to search
out the charges popularity made
against Richard Croker. If l am
elected these charges shall be investi-
gated. If they prove untrue, let him
go unscathed back to England or to
any other land he pleases But if they
are true" (Mr. Georges voice rang out
in menacing tones that visibly excited
his audience), 'let the law be en-
forced. Let him go to the penitenti-
airy. He shall go there"
He went to his hotel after midnight,
hoping to get few hours sleep, and
rise strong enough for still more
arduous days work, for he was to
have addressed six great meetings last
night Mr.. George arrived at the
hotel about o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
NOG lOnS dlCer he lldu redcHeu JHe
hotel Mr.. George retired with Mrs.
George, in room 20 of the hotel. About
$3.50 o'clock Mrs George was awakened
to find Mr.. George sitting in an arm
chair
81 am not feeling quite comfort
able" said Mr.. George to his wife.
Wont you get back in bed?" in
quired Mrs. George anXiously.
81 will sit here a WHILE" was the
response.
Mrs. George at once grew anxious
as to her husbands condition.
Mr.. George gradually grew incoher-
ent and lapsed into semi-conscious-
ness.
Mrs. George was now thoroughly
alarmed and called her son, Henry
George, jr., from an adjoining room.
Prank Stevens was also called in.
A call was sent to DR.. Kelly of III
East Fifty-ninth street, and he came
without delay. Mr.. George was then
unconscious, and all efforts to revive
him failed. Without sign of recogni-
ton to those around him he passed
away at 4:45 o'clock.

STATE WINS AGAIN
Judge Fosters Stock Yards Decision
Fully Upheld.

|
Fully Upheld.
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 20.-The decis-
on of Amos NJ. Thayer, United States
circuit judge in the Kansas City stock
yards case, read by Judge Foster this
morning, sustains Judge Fosters de-
cision of three weeks ago in every par
ticular and is a sweeping victory for
Attorney General Boyle and the state
of Kansas on every single point in is
sue.
Judge Thayer is as clear as Judge
Foster in his declaration that the
state has right to legislate to con
troll the stock yards company, and, if
anything, shows less hesitation in de-
Gliding that the reduction of charges,
though both call it radical legislation,
is not so great as to give the COM
pany any ground for injunction
against the state.
Judge Thayer, expecting that the
case would go to the court of final APP
peal makes provision for an appeal,
but takes pains to provide for the pro-
lection of shippers while the appeal
shall be pending by providing for
bond of 5000, 900 to protect shippers
from overcharges. This heads off
contemplated applica ton to Mr. JUS
tice Brewer for supersedeas, which
might or might not make as ample
provision for the protection of the
stock raisers of the West.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 80. Under q

rendered yesterday. inmates of the
two Soldiers homes located in this
State are practically disfran-
chised. G.. II. Lawrence, Populist, and
II. i. Leidgh, Republican, were can
didates for county clerk in Ford coun-
ty two years ago. Leidgh won by
twenty votes and took the Office. Law
renee contested the election and fled

Supreme court to GUST Leidgh from

Ford county and it was agreed that
the vote at the Soldiers home gave
the election to Leidgh.
In passing on the case the state SUI

constitution disabled inmates of any
asylum kept at public expense from
acquiring residence for voting pur-
poses. This decision will also affect
the inmates of tine National Soldiers

Carr pleaded guilty and his wife not

Mrs. Carr was anxious for trial at

S., 900 bonds, her father, j. j. Brost,

will crystalline into degnite action
only time can tell.
