HUNTED MAN KILLS HIMSELF.
Fratrjcde at Fairbury, Neb. Cheats Mob .of
Vengeance.

.
hunt with al the exciting elements
of bloodhounds and mob Of 800
persons in pursuit was concluded
to day when Assassin William Baker
was run TO earth. At the supreme
moment, when it appeared the mob
would tear their victim t. pieces,
the desperate man blew out his
brains with the same weapon with
which he yesterday assassin ated his
brother, George Baker, and his
brothers wife.
The remains of the murdered
couple were found in their residence
near town yesterday. They had
been shot by an assassin, who fred
through the window. Not clew
was left except the footprints Of the
supposed assassin i'll a nearby field
The prominence OF the murdered
couple brought out several hundred
people, who formed into posses and
hunted the whole country. The
tracks of the supposed murderer
were guarded until midnight last
night, when bloodhounds were Sc
cured and put to work.
Two great Russian hounds took
the trail at once. Several hundred
excited people followed the animals,
the men armed with all kinds Of
weapons. Sons were mounted but
many were afoot. From the win
dow where the fatal shots were fired
the dogs ran to prairie, along a
ravine and straight to barn on the
premises of the brother of the muir
dered man. A mutfed report was
heard within the structure as the
crowd drew near and the building
was implicitly surrounded by the
mob With drawn weapons dozen
men rushed to the doors of the
structure Within, lying on the
floor, was the dead body Of William
Baker.
NO DOUBT OF THE BROTHERS GUILT.
Many was at first inclined to
doubt that he was the assassin, be-
lieving some terrible mistake had
been made, but it soon developed
that several members of the posse
had entertained sus picions that he
was the murder for some time, and
very soon evidence was forthcoming
that set ell doubt at rect. Neigh
bors had seen him leave his home
the night before the double murder
aud he had not been seen since,
The only motive tor the crime
was a quarrel George had with his
brother recently over piece of land.
He was known as an erratic sort Of
a fellow, but had been a farmer in
the neighborhood for years, and bad
never been guilty of a crime 1t is
supposed that he took refuge in the
stable temporarily and expected to
escape from the country after the
excitement had subsidized. When he
found that the dogs had followed
him to his hiding place he had
hastily pulled eff one Of his boots so
that he could pull the trigger of his
shotgun with his toe. Otherwise it
would have been difficult for the
man to have escaped the
of the hundreds of men
pursuing him. The gun was too
long to have TUNED it on himself |
aud fired with his finger.
HAD PREPAID FOR A STRUGGLE.
Baker was prepared for desperate
eight for his life. His pockets were
filed with shells loaded with buck
shot and he carried repeating shot
gun. He could have done terrible
il the crowd had he been
80 disposed. Evidently be discover
ID that final escape was impossible
and concluded to execute himself
and cheat the mob.

Rufy's Party.

Rufus J. Pitcher was eleven years old
last Saturday. At this period Of juven-
iity the intelligent boy is just tall en-
ough to catch a glimpse of his approach
ing manhood oyer the intervening
curtain OF youth, and each succeeding
anniversary of his birth, is not only
regarded as being an important and
notable event in his life history, but is
hailed with great qualification and
supreme satisfaction.
Rufus is no exception to the rule, and
a birthday party was consequently the
order. To say that the fourteen little
lads and corresponding number of
little lassies enjoyed the in and out door
amusements, to their hearts content,
would be but modest expression of
the happy fact, and to portray their
perfect enjoyment Of the banquet which
followed, with all the dainty delicacies
that were so lavishly spread before
them, would require more potent pen
than is welded by the writer. The
guests signified their friendship for their
juvenile host by the bestowal of numer-
Gus presents which were highly appre-
ciated, and will be sacredly held as

Expense Fund Exhausted.

A Pierre special of the 18th inst says
From now until the close OF the fiscal
year South Dakota sherifs will have to
advance the expenses of taking prison.
ers to the penitentiary and wait for a
deficiency appropriation by the next
legislature to reimburse them. The
of 81 500 allowed for this
purpose by the last legislature has been
exhausted, and bills for over $500 are
already held up for lack of funds. The
same thing will probably occur again
next year The attention of the appro.
priatIon committee was called to the
small amount Of the appropriation, but
it refused to increase it, with the results
above mentioned.

Will go In on Sledges.

Jack Gray of Terravlle, was yester-
day showing around the city, says the
Deadwood Independent of last Tuesday
a letter he had recently received from
that well known mining man J. +.
Wardner whose name was familiar to
every mining man in TIE Black Hills
at one time. The letter was written
from Toronto, Canada but Mr.. Ward
ner stated that lie had lately arrived
there from Seattle, Washington, and
expected to start back to the latter
place sometime after the 18th of this
month. From Seattle he expected to
start for the Klondike at once, and
wonld endeavor to get through yet this
winter, it being his plan to 60 in on the
ice with sledges. He stated that for the
last few weeks his residence in Seattle
he had kept open house to returning
miners, in order to obtain as much in
formation as possible concerning the
Klondike, and he believes he knows
more about the country now than any
other man in the world who has never
been there. lie had taken pains to in
form himself on every point, and in his
estimation, formed by what he could
learn, the country has never been ex-
aggerated in the least He writes very
enthusiastically. and as his opinion is
known to be worth securing, what he
says will undoubtedly be of interest to
many who are acquainted with him.

order continuing the Cleveland forestry
order as applied to the Black Hills OF
South Dakota beyond the limit set by
congress at the last session. March /.
Commissioner Hermann said with re.
ference to the matter tonight that it was
within his power TO extend the time,
but that he had not yet determined
what could be done. lie will reach a
decision before the time limit has ex.
pired.

to the removal of the Rapid City land
office to Deadwood, that he had not yet

Forestry Reserve.

Special agent G. w. Green, Of the land
department, was interviewed in Dead
wood a few days ago by Pioneer-Times
reporter, and his attention was called to
the telegraphic report sent out from
Washington q few days since, to the
effect that the forestry commission will
recommend that ex-Presdent Cleve-
lands order establishing a forestry
reserve in the Black Hills be continued
or perpetuated. Mr.. Green gave it as
his opinion that forestry reserve will
be established and maintained in q por-
tion Of the Black Hills country, but he
does not believe that Cleveland's policy
will be renewed. The Cleveland order
prohibited prospecting and mining
within the reserve, and this would be a
serious blow to the mining industry in
the Black Hills. 1t is not the policy of
the administration to in any way pre-
vent or hamper the development of the
country Mr.. Green's opinion is that
the new report will not prohibit pros.
pecting or legitimate mining nor the
use Of timber for legitimate purposes
and for the benefit of the people of the
Black Hills, but that it will prohibit
absolutely the cutting of timber for ex-
port purposes. He has during his of
fetal residence in the Black Hills made
very thorough study of the timber.
There is still vast timber area which
will supply all legitimate uses in this
district for years to come, but there is
none TO waste or ship out ofthe country.
As long as he is special agent here hav
ing in charge the protection of the
timber he will exert himself to prevent
the wanton destruction and improper
0iSpOSltiOn of m q timber
