TO INVESTIGATE HORROR.
Berwyn Hotel Fire Thought to Have
Been the Work of an Incendiary.

Chicago, Aug. Enquiry into the
causes leading to the Berwyn hotel fire
horror in North State street was defer
red yesterday until August 10 by COro-
ner Berz to enable Fire Inspector Con-
way to make a thorough investigation
into the many suspicious circumstances
attending the midnight blaze. Traces
of an incendiary are said to have been
found in the basement and about the
narrow fight of stairs which was the
only egresS to safety except the fran
fire escape on the alley. The police
furnished the cOrOner's office with the
names OF several witnesses who claim
to have seen flames shooting from sew
eraI widely removed places in the struc-
ture at the same time.
Fire Marshal James Koran, who was
examined inOfficially, commented on the
extraordinary spread of the flames. He
declared that during his many years
experience on the fire department he
had never seen a similar instance.
When arrived" he said, 1T looked
as if the fire had started in every nook
and corner at the same time. The flames
were leaping about everywhere. 1t was
really a most extraordinary fire.
Gasoline seems to have been the IA
vorite ammunition used against bed
bugs, which, according to bOarderS, in
tested the hotel from basement to gar
ret. Several witnesses will, it is said,
swear that the bed frames were deluged
with this highly infiammable liquid two
days before the mysterious fire.

GRANTS STATION ROBBERS
Two Reported Wounded and Captur-
ed Near Geronimo. Ariz.

Silver City, N. M, Aug. Sword has
been received here that the posse under
Wells Fargo Detective J. N. Thacker
had at last Overtaken William Walters
alias ''Broncho Bill and his partner,
Johnson, in the vicinity of Geronimo,
Ariz., and in the fight which ensued
had wounded and captured both bandits.
Walters and Johnson are the two men
who successfully held up the train on
the Santa F'e Pacific near Grants sta
ton some months ago and secured a
large haul from the Wells-Fargo people,
estimated as high as $4,000. These
same men are also accused of robbing
the Santa Fe at Los LunaS two months
ago, at which time another large sum
was stolen.
Walters is positively known to be
guilty of various acts of Outlawry, and
is one of the most desperate criminals
in the southwest. A failure of the Of
ficers to effect his capture at the time
of the commission of his crimes has
rendered him very bold lately, and he
has been in the habit of going into the
border towns openly, and even attend
ing public dances. As a usual thing,
Walters and johnson manage to get
into a fight during the progress of the
Festivities and end the same by shoot
ing out all the lights and generally ter
rorizing those present
In the fight at Geronimo none of the
posse was wounded, and so far as
known none of the booty has been re-
covered from the bandits. If still alive
Walters and Johnson will be brought to
New Mexico for trial.

TO FINISH BIG CANAL.
Chicago Drainage Canal Will Be Com
pleted This Year.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Plain sailing seems
to be in store for the drainage canal.
President William Boldenweck says
that all obstacles in the form of engi-
neering and litigation over property
have been removed and that the big
ditch will be completed next fail.
at was at first the Intention he
said, ''to have the canal finished in 1897,
and this would have been accomplished
doubtless, had not unforeseen circum-
stances arisen. The chief delay has
been on account of the engineering pro-
blens to be solved and the difficulties
presented by the stone and earth. Those
could be dug and blasted out of the
way but the biggest steam shovel and
the most powerful charge of dynamite
could not remove the great masses of
litigation that were thrown in our path
in the courts. Engineering skill could
not make a short cut through the strata
of injunctiOns. The clearing away of
so many obstacles in court takes time,
but I consider that remarkable work
has been done in this regard, as well as
in the actual progress of the channel.
The success of the board, particularly
in the litigation in which Joliet proper
ty owners were concerned, should be a
matter of no small qualification on the
part of the general public as well as the
trustees -

SKATER is DEFENDED.
General McNulta Says Longstreet's
Criticism Is Not Justified.

Chica go, Aug. 5.-Apropos of General
Longstreet's criticism of Gen. Skaters
mer leader of the local naval reserves,
said that it was entirely unwarranted.
He considers Shafter to be one of the
greatest generals of modern times and
credits him with rare military genius
and foresight.
From this distance it is difficult to
appreciate the situation at Santiago"
said Gen. McNulta. Gen. Longstreet
may be right in his criticism, but 1 wish
TO credit Gen. Shafter with great skill.
In war it is a game of chance, in which
100 men have to be killed to save 200
soldiers from death in another direc-
ton. If Shafter had not made the bold
dash on the Spaniards it is certain that
the guerrilla warfare and fighting from
intrenchments would have continued
Indefinitely and many more of our boys
might have been killed in that manner
than by making an assault on the enc
my up San Juan hill"

JOY IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Yield of Wheat and Corn Larger Than
Ever Before Known.

Yankton, S. D., Aug. 5.-The crop sit
nation in South Dakota is so favorable
that the truth seems incredible. Wheat
the principal crop, is immense, both IN
WELD and in acreage, and surpaSSeS the
most sanguine expectations Ihere -
hardly an acre of land where the yield
is poor. Wheat fields, where grain
stood 80 inches high, with heaVy
stand. is measuring out over 30 bushels
to an acre, and it rare to find a field
where the yield falls below twelve push
els.
The anticipated loss through lack OF
harvest hands has been overcome some
what by the employment of more ma
chinery and while the thraShing facln-
ties will be severely taxed the greater
part of the grain will be safely in the
stack before it spoils. The presence
of twelve moving machines in a single
field is not an unusual sight, the united
energies of the farmers being directed
to getting the grain under cover.
There is every indication that the
corn yield will not only be large, but
that it will exceed the bumper" yield
of three years ago. The extensive
cattle raising industry, in which the
farmers are now engaged, will demand
a large amount of corn for home con-
sumption, and the present condition of
the cereal would seem to leave nothing
further for the farmer to desire Forty
five bushels per acre is the lowest es-
innate made by farmers, while many
experts declare that eighty-five bushels
will be the average yield in the south
ern counties of the state.

MONEY FOR RELATIVES.
Man Jumps From a Car Window
Leaving Fortune Behind.

Kansas City, Aug. 5.-Officials of the
union depot have received a letter from
New York, containing the information
that V. DOvedil, who started from Kan
sas City to that place about three
months ago, had never reached there
The letter stated that a package of
money expressed to him from Kansas
City was still at the Adams Express
cOmpany's office.
The man came to Kansas City about
three months ago, it is said, from New
Mexico. After staying in Kansas City
a short time he started for New York
Before leaving the officials a t the union
depot noticed that he acted very
strange, and it was thought that he was
insane. A search developed the fact
that on his person was a large amount
of money. The depot officials did not
think it safe for a man in his condition
to travel with so large an amount of
money, and it was Faken from him and
expressed to New York City. A letter
was also given to prove his identity, adj
dressed to the express company
Tracers developed the fact that Dove
dill had jumped from the train near
BinghamtOn, N. Y, and killed himself
Efforts are now being made to find his
relatives for the purpose of delivering
TO them the money which he had.
Nothing is known of the man by those
who saw him at the depot here, and it
is thought that he did not have any rel

A HERD OF BUFFALO.
Discovery of sixty-Two Buffalo Cows
in the Colorado Mountains.

Denver, Aug. 5-Henry Shaffnit Sr., of
Steamboat Springs has written a letter to
Game Warden Swan telling him that
herd of 62 buffalo cows had been seen
about 30 miles firm that place. He states
that the count was accurately made, al
though he does not mention any particu-
lars.
This would be great thing for the state
if it could be demonstrated that this story
is true, and the animals could be cOrraled.
Much conjecture has been rife at the
state house this morning as to where
these animals have come from, it not be-
ing known that there We're so many in
the state. Still Mr.. Shaffnit is a man of
prominence, being owner and proprietor
of the Sheridan hotel, and his story is &C
cepted as fact.
The most prevalent idea, the one gener-
ally accepted, is that they must have es-
capped from the national park at Yellow
This could be easily accounted for by the
fact that Utah's finest" have been set to
watch the boundaries of the park since
the regulars have been sent to the front,
and militia are VIGOROUSLY lax in such
duty
Warden Swan will take immediate steps
10 ascertain particulars regarding this
herd, and if it be not demonstrated that
they belong to the government effort
will be made to put them under SurVeil-
lance in Lost park.
Others claim that the herd must be that
of Lost park, since it has not been seen
for some time. In any event, no effort
will be spared to find out about the herd
and corral it safely for the benefit of the
state if possible. If it is the Lost park
herd it must be greatly augmented since
last seen, as there were not over forty
cows then. This was in the fall of 1896
No one has reported seeing them since
