Mrs. McKinley's Brother shot Dead.

Geo. ID. Saxton, brother of Mrs.
William Mckinley, was shot dead at
6 p. m, in front of the residence of Mrs.
Eva Althouse, a widow, at Canton, O. :,
where he is presumed to have gone to
make a call. Five shots were fired,
three of which entered his body. Mrs.
Anna C. George has been placed under
arrest on suspicion of being the
murderer.
Mrs. George obtained a divorce from
her husband two years ago and the
latter charged SaXton with being at
the bottom of it and sued him for
alleged alienation of his wife's affec-
tions. The case was compromised last
week. 1t is alleged that Mrs. George
had threatened to kill both Saxton and
Mrs. Althouse.
Mrs. George pleaded not guilty to
the charge of numbering Saxton, and
the defense will attempt to prove an
alibi.

w. +. Hall and Albert Pratt, of Essex
vile, for positions in connection with
the execution of the beet sugar law at
the Bay City factory, which is prepar-
ing to manufacture 10000 900 pounds of
sugar next year, which means that the
state must pay the company $4,000.
Other factories are under construction

so that the law will probably be re-

lature. The present law, however,
provides that n 1-cent bounty shall be
paid for seven years.
