IMPRISONED WITHOUT BAIL
Fred Nye and Mrs. Neumister Behind
Bars ON the Charge of Murder.

Bars ON the Charge of Murder.
Tavares, Fla, Oct. 13.-Mrs. Leonard
Neumister and Fred w. Nye after
preliminary hearing on the charge of
numbering Leonard Neumister have been
imprisoned without bail for the crime.
Two years ago there came from Louis
vile, Ky, to Altoona, Lake county,
Leonard Neumister and wife, and with
them was a man named Fred W. Nye.
Not long before this time Mr.. Neumis-
ter had fallen heir to about fifty thou
sand dollars. About three weeks ago
the man was missing, and Mrs. Neumis-
ter reponted his absence to the neigh
bors. She told them that she had just
found letter, written by him and left
in the house, saying that he intended
to drown himself. The men then went
to a deep lake few rods from the
house, and there found his lifeless body
in the water. 1t was thought from the
appearance of the writing, that the
letter was not written by Mr.. Neumister
at all, but by some other person. This
led to the belief that the old man had
been murdered by his wife and Nye.

drawal from Pretoria Of Mr.. Conyngham

dstence of Il state of war between Great

cordingly been instructed to undertake
the care of the British interests in that
section during the war.
In the Orange Free State the United
States is represented by Alfred Elliott,
Consular agent at Bloemfontein. He is
an Englishman, and therefore it is ques-
tionable whether or not he will remain
at his post in his capacity as Ameri
can agent. If he retires Mr.. McCrum
will probably select SOME American to
take up tEe duties Of Consular agent.
There is no present intention at the
State Department to issue a proclama
ton of neutrality. 1T has come to be
the custom to omit these proclamations,
until some emergency arises calling for
their issue, and such an emergency is
not expected to arise i'll South Africa
