FAIRBURY, Neb. Jan. GA man hunt,
with all the exciting elements of
bloodhounds and mob of 800 persons
in pursuit was concluded yesterday
when Assassin William Baker was run
to earth. AT the supreme moment,
when it appeared the mob would tear
their victim to pieces, the desperate
man blew out his brains with the
same weapon with which he Tuesday
assassinated his brother, George
Baker, and his brothers wife. The re-
mains of the murdered couple were
found in their residence near town
Tuesday. They had been shot by an
assassin, who fired through the win
dow Not clew was left except the
footprints of the supposed assassin in
a nearby field. The prominence of the
murdered couple brought out several
hundred people, who formed into
posses and hunted the whole county.
The tracks of the supposed murderer
were guarded until midnight when
bloodhounds were secured and put to
work Two great Russian hounds
took the trail at once. Several hum
bred excited people followed the ami
mails, the men armed with all kinds of
weapons. Some were mounted, but
many were afoot From the window
where the fatal shots were fired the
dogs ran TO Il prairie along ravine
and straight to a barn on the premises
of the brother of the murdered man.
A muffled report was heard within the
structure as the crowd drew near and
the building was completely surround
ed by the mob. With drawn revolvers
dozen men rushed to the doors of the
structure. Within, lying on the floor,
was the dead body of William Baker.

WANT REsUeMIssIoN.
Kansas Democrats submit Proposition ia
the Populists.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. q. "A journal
special from Topeka, Kan, said; Some
of the leaders of the free silver wing
of the democratic party, which consti-
tutes almost the entire party in thi S
state, have agreed upon "A fusion prop
osition which they will formally sub
nit to the populists at their conference
to-day. The proposition is for the
populsts to take all the offices, but
to incorporate resubmission in their
next state platform, and If successful at
the election to take the steps necessary
TO get the question before the voters.
Resubmission has been the slogan of
the Kansas democrats for years. They
would willingly support the populist
ticket II its platform contained a re-
submission plank. Failure on the part
of the populists to accept the PROPOSE
ton means the placing of straight
democratic ticket In the field.

 but instructs his son to bring his pros pectiVe. bride to spend few weeks at the paternal mansion. The actress con- sents to the agreement, and she is soon an honored guest in the family circle of her betrothed. For the first few days the change of life and the convention alities and usages of society prove a novelty and surprise to her, but the longing for her former companionship and the more or less free -and-easy life, with it's unconventional manners, soon makes itself manifest. She becomes restless and irritable, and her fiance seeks to fathom her trouble. She re- ally loves the young man and tries to overcome her desire to return to her old bohemian life. Do what she will, she cannot overcome 1t, and at last tells her lover that she could not be happy in society with all it's environ ments, and the engagement is broken.
