SAXTON SHOT DOWN.
BROTHER OF MRS. M'KlNLEY SLAIN
BY A WOMAN.

Mrs. Anna C. George, the Alleged MUIR
deress, Who Is Under Arrest, Is Di-
yoreea Womau--Saxton Had Been Sued
by Hor Husband.
CANTON, o., Oct. 8.-George p. Sax
ton, a brother of Mrs. William Mckin.
ley, was shot dead at 6:l0 o'clock last
evening, III front of the residence of
Mrs. Eva B. Althouse, widow of the late
George Althouse, 3l9 Lincoln avenue,
where he is presumed to have gone to
make CALL Five shots were free,
three of them entering his body, and
Mrs. Anna G. George has been placed
under arrest on suspicion of the murder
Saxton was unconscious when neighbors
arrived and began investigating the
cause OF the shooting and was dead
when the physicians and officers ar
rived, the physicians having expressed
the opinion that death was instantan-
eous, three bullets having entered vital
spots. The position of the body indi-
Gated that he had been on the step to
the Althouse residence when the shots
were fired. The body was carried TO an
undertaking room, and placed in charge
of the coroner. Mrs. George is the
divorced wife of Sample G. George, who
formerly was tenant of SaXton i'll his
down town business block, conducting
dressmaking business. Hef divorce
was obtained in Dakota, and proceed
ing later filed in local courts by the hus-
band against Saxton, charging chat
Saxton had sent her there to secure the
divorce, the proceedings here being ii
suit for damages for the alleged alienat
ing of the wife's affections. This case
has been through all the intermediate
courts and was passed upon by the state
supreme court on an inter. pleading and
finally remanded for hearing on its
merits here. Before this occurred, and
on Wednesday, a settlement was
effected, Saxton paying George $l,S25
on the claim set up of $4,000 for dam
ages. Mrs. George has also had several
cases against SaXton, claiming the de-
tention of furniture, the defense of Sax
ton being that the article he held for
overdue rent in the rooms. Mrs. Alt
house, in front of whose house the
shooting occurred, several months ago
began peace proceedings against Mrs.
George, alleging that her life had been
threatened.
1t was common talk that Mrs. George
would make frequent threats of taking
Saxton's life, many of these threats are
said to have been sent through the
mails, and the federal grand jury set
ting in Cleveland last fall indicted her
for alleged improper use of the mails.
Mrs. George gave bond, and the indict-
ment, SO far as is known here, is still
alive.
Sample G. George, the husband, is
now reported to have been married to a
second wife for more than year. He
is reported married in Wheeling to Miss
Lucy Graham, of Alliance, and the
marriage was kept secret until after the
settlement with Sa&ton. AS soon as
George got his damage money from
Saxton he announced his marriage.
Mrs. George claims Saxton deceived her
and deserted her.

Dons Advancing Impossible Conditions

DOns Advancing Impossible Conditions.
PARIS, Oct. S.-The United States
peace commissioners began their usual
morning. They are understood to have
taken into consideration direct sugges-
tions and counter propositions from the
Spaniards, of which the Americans now
have enough to engage their attention
at the daily session. 1t may be re-
garded as quite likely that the Span
iards have already outlined their ap-
parent expectations and that they are
beyond the line of possible acquiescence
by the Americans. The latter are now
acting along well considered lines, con-
sistently and with a definite end in
view. They have to some degree dis
closed American expectation and deter
mination. The Spaniards, however,
seem unable or unwilling at the outset,
to understand or believe the Americans
may or have at the outset set forth their
requirements and that they are destined
to remain virtually unchanged by
fnesse or counter diplomacy. While
the Philippines have not yet been
reached in the deliberations, this ques-
ton is doubtless relatively not far dis
tant, and at that point is likely to come
the full stress of the diplomatic con-
troversy. Referring to the Philippine
phase of the negotiations, the Gaulois
today says: "The question was some
what touched upon. though not dis.
cussed yesterday, but there was enough
to indicate serious difficulties when it
does come up"

JOURNEY FULL OF PERIL.
Buffalo Jones Returns From His Trip to
Arctic Region.

Buffalo Jones Returns From His Trip to
Arctic Region.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. - Buffalo
Jones, the we'll known hunter, who has
been in the Arctic circle for some time,
arrived today from st. Michaels. having
accomplished an unprecedented journey
full of peril.
Jones left Oklahoma territory II
months ago for Great Slave lake and
the mouth of the Mckenzie river, with
the object of bringing out to civilization
head of live musk oxen. He went in
over the Edmonton route, reaching
Great Slave lake last July, after long
and perilous trip. About two months
ago, in company with Albert Rea of
Alberta, he started ON his homeward
journey, coming up the Peel and Rat
rivers, across the Portage to Western
Rat river, down the West Rat and Por-
cupine to the Bukon. He was 33 days
from Great Slave lake to Fort Yukon,
Jones says there are 1900 people who
started over the Edmonton route in the
summer Of 1897, frozen in at Destruc-
ton City, located at the junction of the
Peel and Rat rivers. They will not
reach civilization before next July.
They are well supplied with provisions.
The winter will be spent in constructing
boats. Among those at Destruction
City are Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Craig and
Mr.. Thumser, all of Chicago.
Accounting for his failure to bring
out any musk oxen, Jones said he caught
several, bat the Esquimaux are super
stitious about allowing them to leave
the country and one night they cut their
threats. Jones brought out large
number of letters from Destruction City.
