MAN OR MONKEY?
The Peculiar Predicament of Archie
II. Brewer, q Snowman, III South
Dakota.

CHICAGO, July ia special to the
Tribune from Bonesteel, S. p, says:
Upon the question whether his victim
was brute or human, depends Archie H.
Brewers guilt or innocence of the
crime of murder. Brewer was one of
the owners of a small tent show which
came here for exhibition. Among
their attractions was a creature of
seemingly a higher form of animal life
than monkey, and lower than man.
Brewer and Thorndyke called the
animal the Missing Link" and laid
great stress on the alleged fact that
no one was able to say whether it be-
longed to the human or the brute crea-
ton Brewer now AYERS that the freak
was a monkey.
In scufIle with it, the Snowman be-
came angry and Selling a club, dealt
his antagonist a hard blow over the
ear, from the effects Of which it died
in a few hours.
The local authorities Immediately
placed Brewer under arrest on the
charge of murder At the preliminary
hearing his lawyers set up the defense
that their client did not take the life
of a human being. but the magistrate
bound him over to the grand jury.

LOWEST POINT
Reached By the River This Year.
Boats Still out are Experiencing
a Great Deal of Trouble in Running
Navigation Almost Suspended.

Yesterday the river was the lowest it
has been this year. At four o'clock the
old marks on the wharf showed a stage
of 2 feet 9 inches, and at midnight the
water had dropped another inch. About
a week ago the stage dropped to 2 feet
II inches, but a slight rise sent it up
the bank again. Since that time, with
all the rain fall, there has been no
semblance of a rise. There is slight
rise reported coming out of both the
upper rivers, but whether or not it will
reach this far is a question. At noon
yesterday the marks at Davis Island
dam showed 26 feet and rising slowly
At six o'clock the stage here was 8 feet
and still rising. The rise is caused by
Saturdays rains up the upper valleys.
The stage all along the Ohio river is SO
low that teams are being driven across
the river at a number of points.
The KanaWha arrived yesterday at
5 D. m. She carried most of her freight
on a lighter. Her passenger list was
very heavy. She carried the largest
trip in freight Of the year. About 500
different consignments of garden truck
at this point. She went on through to
Pittsburg on the strength Of the rise,
as a three foot stage at the dam will let
her through.
The H. K. Bedford was inspected by
the local inspectors Saturday. Her
boilers were pronounced in excellent
shape and she was allowed 10 pounds
of steam Her owners will put her on
the docks at Parkersburg to receive
some needed repairs to her hull. The
Catterun will take her place until the
repairs are completed.
The locals will be the only packets
out to-day. The T. NJ. Bayne, leaving
for Steubenville at $50 p. m, the Leroy
for Darlington at $3.50 p. m.., and the
Ruth for Sistersville at $3.50 p. m.
The water here will be rising this
morning.
