dead in a bathtub in his apartments ut the

on a pleasure tour, and not much was
known about him.
Countess Dunmorc, who is stopping
with friends in the city, is an aunt of the
dead man. She was notified of his death,
but as her Whereabouts are kept secret
nothing can he learned concerning her

The autopsy revealed the fact that Mr..

he had drowned in the bathtub. Nothing
was shown to indicate that lie had taken

CANTON, Ohio: George n. SaXton, q
d brother of Mrs. William Mckinley, was
shot dead at $50 o'clock Friday evening
in front of the residence of Mrs. Eva b.
Althouse, widow of the late George Alt
house, 3l9 Lincoln Avenue, where lie is
presumed TO have gone to make a call.
Five shots were fired, three of which en-
tered his body. Mrs. Anna c. George has
been placed under arrest on suspicion of
the murder. SaXton was unconscious when
neighbors arrived to investigate the cause
of the shooting, and wa dead when the
physicians and officers arrived, the former
having expressed the opinion that death
was instantaneous, the bullets having en-.
tered vital spots. His position indicated
that lie had been on the step to the Alt.
house residence when the shots were fired.
Mrs. George is the divorced wife Of
Sample G. George, who formerly was a
tenant of SaXton in his down town bust.

business. Her divorce was obtained 10
Dakota and a proceeding later filed in the
local courts by the husband against Sax.
>ton charged that SaXton sent her there to
secure the divorce, the proceeding here
being a suit for damages for the alleged
alienation of the wife's affection. RE-
Gently a settlement was affected, SaXton
paying George $l,S25 OH the claim set up
Of $4,000 for damages. Mrs. George has
also had several cases against SaXton,
claiming the detention of furniture. Mrs.
Althouse, in front Of whose house the
shooting occurred, several months ago be-
gan peace proceedings against Mrs.
George, alleging that her life had been
threatened.

Spain Sands Troons.

WASHINGTON: Rear Admiral Dewey
has cabled the navy department that he is
advised that q number of Spanish troops
have arrived at Singapore, bound for the
Philippines TO reinforce the Spanish gar.
Eison in the Nisayas islands.
AT this place is concentrated about all
that remains of the Spanish army of oc.
cupation of the Philippines outside of the
few troops on the island of Luzon. In dis.
patching troops from Spain to the islands
the Spanish government has raised the di.
rect question as to the right to reinforce
troops now engaged in active hostilitics
with the insurgent forces. The weight of
opinion here is that this action is permis.
sible, and does not constitute a breach of
the terms of the protocol suspending hos
tilities. A good deal, however, may de.
pend on whether tho Spaniards confinc
themselves to a defensive position or I'M
dertalSe TO carry on M offensive warfare
against the insurgents.

PIERRE CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
This Years Record will BE Up t,
the AYernne.

hAO 4AvSHu&Os
Early in the season it was predicted that
the shipment of cattle to the market from
Pierre would not be so heavy as in for
mer years, the prediction being based ON
the belief that the heavy demand for feed
ers last season, with the high prices paid,
had depleted the range of selling stock.
But 10 the indication is that the ship
ments will he fully up to the av-
GRACE. A new factor is in part the
cause of this, in the shipments
which come from sections of the range
which have in the past gone 10 Black Hills
points, which are now forced to select
some other point of shipment, by the small
farmers taking up the land and fencing in
the trails and water holes. This will
bring more cattle here every year, and
keep up the Importance of Pierre as a
cattle shipping point. October promises
to be a heavy shipping month, as cattle arc
now on the trail to send out about $50 cars
some time about the 10th of the month,
II the other shipments for the month
will make lively shipping. August started
III light this year, with but 1ifty-nine
cars, while September shows up 235 cars,
and October will be much heavier.

Bank Robbers Heard Trom.

The bank robbers who held up the Belle

been heard from again and they are still
working their profession. The three men
who escaped from the county jailin Dead

and they with George Curry now consti-

is postoficc inspector of tile Denver divis-

ward of $l,500 for the capture of each
man. They have robbed four postoffices in
the last few months and at Powdervillc,
Wyo., they shot the postmaster to accom-
plish their purpose of robbing the office.
Several personal encounters have occurred
recently with a posse, in all of which the
robbers have come out best. The men are
now supposed to Ike working toward the
Hills and are about seventy.five miles
from Deadwood in southeastern Montana.
