JEALOUS MAN SHOOTS A TRIO
John Hayslip, kansas City Horse
Trainer, Kills His wife and Nor
tally wounds Two Others.

KANSAS CITY, Nov 15.-John Hayslip, a
horse trainer, this afternoon shot his wife
through the heart and mortally wounded
Charles Berry, an ice wagon driver, and
Maud Mitchell, aged 80 years. The tragedy
occurred at the Mitchell woman's house, in
West Sixth street. Mrs. Hayslip had de-
serted her husband for Berry and Maud
Mitchell had influenced her to make the de-
cision. Arrested soon after the commission
of the crime, Hayslip admitted he had de-
liberately planned the murder for revenge.
When told that his wife was dead he said:
81 am sorry for it now"
At 1890 this afternoon Hayslip, revolver
in hand, burst into a room where the trio
were and Immediately began shooting. The
first shot struck Mrs. Hayslip in the head,
the second pierced her heart. The revolver
was a 45-caliber and each bullet made an
ugly hole. She begged for mercy, but Hay
slip was ruthless. When found by the police
her head rested on the edge Of the bed and
she was in the attitude of prayer.
The next two shots struck Berry in diff
ferent parts of the body and he ran from the
room and into the street, mortally wounded,
the blood streaming from his wounds.
The fifth bullet struck the Mitchell woman
in the side and when the police arrived she
was sprawiing or the floor, unconscious from
the loss of blood.
At the station Berry and Maud Mitchell
talked incoherently their wounds were
dressed by the surgeon, who said that neither
would survive Hayslip submitted to arrest
quietly and when questioned later by Chief
Hayes confessed that, learning early in the
day that his wife was with Berry, he pur-
chased revolver, planning to kill them
both and the Mitchell woman.
my wife was curling her hair in front Of
mirror when | went in" said he. 81 shot
her fret, then turned the pistol en- the others.
! l am sorry now that / did it."
Mrs. Hayslip was 80 years old and had
had two children. both of whom are dead,

Telegram.)-An announcement was made to-
day by the Union Pacific shop strikers that
they had been advised by the grand lodge of
machnists and the head officers of the

had been sanctioned. 1t was stated also
that the grand lodges Of the two associations
had notified the machinsts and boilermakers
working at other shops on the Union Pacific
system not to work on engines for service
on the Wyoming division.
A committee of Cheyenne business men
took hold of the strike matter today and
tried to settle it, but their efforts have not
met with much success. They met repre-
sentatives Of the strikers and promised, IL
the men would go back to work, to take up
the question Of wages and hours with the
railroad company and try to secure satis-
factory adjustment and an equitable scale Of
wages.
The strikers held meetings tonight to con-
slider the proposition 1t was rejected by the
boiermakers, who decided to continue the
strike. The machinsts are still discussing
the question, with but little chance, however.
of acceptance. A number of the strikers
have drawn their time and have left the
city and others are preparing to leave. The
shops are running with about the same num-
ber Of men that have been working since
Wednesday last, the first day of the strike,
and the repair work of the division is being

HAYWARD HOLDING HIS OWN
No Particular Change is Noted in the
Condition of the Stricken
Nebraska Senator.

NEBRASKA CITY Neb,, Nov. 15.-(Spe-
cial Telegram )-Senator Hayward's condi
tion at II o clock tonight shows no material
change. The stricken senator appears to be
holding his own. While the chances are
against his recovery yet 1t is still among
the possibilities that he may get over the
present attack. Dr. Bridges says that the
conditions underlying the attack are incur
able, yet it will be impossible to tell for
two or three days whether the present at
tack will pass over and the patient get
up again. If he should continue to hold his
own for forty eight hours or so 1t would
be possible for him to recover from the
present attack. The senator is resting
quietly tonight and those about the bedside
are hopeful for the best.

Finally, a word as to the way out Is
1t conceivable that we should withdraw our
troops abandoning our friends to the
vengeance of our enemies and the people at
large to suffer from anarchy? l can find
but one answer to this question. Our troops
must stay until armed resistance has ceased

Possibility that Republican Candidate FOR

Showing Victory for Ely.
GIVES HIM MAJORITY OF THREE HUNDRED
Vote Will Be- Very Close, Whichever Way it
May Be Decided.
GIVES HIM MAJORITY OF THREE HUNDRED
OFFICIAL RETURNS NOT YET OPENED
News of the Possibility That Ely
May he the Chosen One
Causes a Variety of
Emotions.

LINCOLN, Nov. 15.-(Special Telegram.)-
From the returns received at the secretary
of states office and by the populist aud re-
publican state central committees 1t ap-
pears that there is still n possibility that
William b. Ely, the republican candidate for
regent of the State university, is elected by
a small majority.
The Evening Post. the local popocratic
organ, this evening announces that dupli-
Gates of official returns from seventy-two
counties give Ely majority over Rich of
Omaha of 800 votes. This estimate does not
include the returns from Douglas county.
Chairman Tefft of the republican state
central committee was unable to figure
majority for Ely from the returns received,
but he said this evening that the vote
would be close and that the republican
candidate might possibly win.
An attache of the secretary of states
office said tonight that duplicates Of official
returns had been received from only thirty
counties and not from seventy-two, as re-
ported!
The announcement in the popocratic organ
that Ely was ahead created considerable eX-
ctement in political circles this afternoon.
The statement that the returns from sew
enty-two counties gave Ely majority was
probably made through an error. Official
returns from that many counties have been
received at the secretary of states office, but
none of them have been opened.
The news that Mr. Ely might possibly
have votes enough to elect him was received
in Omaha with varied emotions, republicans
generally rejoicing over the prospect Of a
possible victory while the fusionlsts were
in the dumps. Ely appears to have made
phenomenal rum getting good many more
votes than McGilton, while he ran away
ahead of Rich all over the state. 1t was
estimated last night that Rich was about
1000 votes ahead of Teeters in the precincts
thus far counted. In Douglas county the
vote for regents was Ely, 10,114: McGilton,
9,761; Rich, 9,174; Teeters. S,461.

According to the Boston Transcript,
1t was woman who was the means
of having a definite day in the year set
apart for the national observance OF
Thanksgiving. Mrs. Sarah Josabha
Hale, o Boston woman, and editor of
the first woman's magazine published
in this country, worked for twenty
years to accomplish this end. Time did
not daunt her courage, but rather in
creased her insistence. She wrote to
governors of states and to presidents
of the United States. At last Presi-
dent Lincoln adopted her suggestion
in 1864. when there was reason to re-
joice over the success of the North in
restoring the union.
