The IIackawana Rod Co. Of Pitts
burg, Pa, has entered Judgment
against Major Cochran Of the High
lands on a note for Sl0S and Sheriff
Finn has levied on his household
goods. Mr.. Cochran says he has been
swindled. As he, tells the story, an
agent for a lightning rod company
called on him about six months ago
and tried to sell him rods, but did not
at first succeed. Finally, however, he
won Mr.. Cochran over, SO that the lat
ter decided to have rods put on house
and stable at cost Of s35. Worbmen
came and put up the rods. d. G.
Allen, was the name Of the agent, but
after the rods were in place two strange
young men came along who said they
represented the company and came to
see If everything was satisfactory. Mr..
Cochran was satisfied with the work
and at their request signed what he
thought was statement that the work
had been done. After he had done this
they presented a bill for S108, which
he declined to pay. Later he received
letter from Pennsylvania bank say
ing that it held a note of his and had
placed it with the First National Bank
Of Wilmington for collection. The
claim was afterwards placed with @.
L. Ward, who wrote to Mr.. Cochran,
but he, on the advice of his counsel,
Lilburne Chsndler, ignored the com,
munication. Ee will fight the pay.

Omaha, Neb., Oct 20. AN unknown
man committed suicide at the public
library, under mysterious circum-
stances, this morning. Everything
points to the fact that he had sscreted
himself in the building with the in
tention of securing tho priceless colIec-
ton of coins in the Byron Reid dona-
ton. When detection and capture con-
fronted him, he coolly put revolver
to his temple, and fired bullet into
his brain. The suicide is evidently
Russian, and marks ON his clothes in
dictate that he is nobleman. The
name John Schmidt was found
written on the margin of small map
OF Europe found in one Of his pockets.
The map was torn from Russian
geography.
