the charm Of naturalness, which, at the

Affections Is Killed.

Bedford, Ind, June 25.-Albert Rob-
erts and Oscar Jeans have been rival
suitors of Miss Jennie Russell, all
prominently connected. While Rob-
erts and Miss Russell were out driving
Saturday they met Jeans, the latter
insisting upon settling the rivalry inn
mediately. Jeans is saidNto have fired re-
peatedly at Roberts while Miss Russell
was seated beside him. Roberts
jumped from his buggy and emptied
his revolver. Jeans reloaded and coIp-
tinued shooting after he was badly

erts grabbed the girl in one arm as she
fell. and continued, firing with the 9TH

seriousness, and died in a few hours at
her home, Roberts remaining at her
bedside even after death. He is almost
a maniac. Jeans escaped ON the Monon

BLAZE WAS COSTLY.
A Loss of S25O,OOO Is Caused by a
Fierce Fire In the business Dis
trict of Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh, Pa, June 23.--Fire in one
of the principal downtown business
blocks Friday caused loss Of $250, 900,
involving eight buildings containing
many office tenants. The aggregate in
surance will more than cover this
amount. The fire was first discovered
in the rear of the Eiehbaum company
printing establishment, supposedly
caused by spontaneous combustion.
The Eichbaum building fronts on Fifth
avenue, few doors below Wood street,
was six stories high and was tenanted
by many officeholders, among them be-
ing Duff's college, occupying the two
upper floors, and the Holmes Electric
company, on the third floor. In an in
credibly short time the entire build
ing was a mass of flames, and before
the firemen could do much effective
work had communicated to the Elk
change national bank building next
door below, and from there to the Hus-
sey building adjoining. Simultaneous
ly the fire extended to James Piatt's sa-
loon and restaurant and A. M. Muir
The confagration was one of the most
threatening seen in Pittsburgh for
many years, and for a time the entire
block bounded by Fifth avenue, Wood,
Diamond and Market streets seemed
doomed to destruction.
When the Eiehbaum building had
been Quilted, the wall of the 81" por.
ton, which runs in back of Piatt's and
Murdock's buildings, fell, crashing in
the rear portions of the Wood street
buildings, occupied by the American
Express company, Paulson Bros, A. M
Bull and Jurtz, Langbein & Swartz.
Several fremen were caught in the de-
brs of this wall, but none were hurt
so badly they could not continue their
work.

Eli Ketner had narrow escape
from a big bath and possibly some
thing more serious Saturday at his
residence on South Market street.
He was walking over the platform
that Covered the cistern at his home
when one of the boards turned with
his weight and he was plunged down
ward. He had just time to throw his
arms out and catch the sides of the
boards and thus saved himself from
a very disagreeable bath in the CHS
tern. Mrs. Ketner heard the noise
of the fall, and seeing the situation
she called to some men in the street,
who came to his assistance. He was
somewhat bruised by the fall, but
otherwise he came out of the affair
in a fortunate manner.

Points In Indiana by
Heavy Rain.

indianapolis, Ind, June 23.-0ne of
the hardest transforms in years swept
Indiana Friday morning. The Wabash
river is out of its banks and still ris-
ing. Much damage has been done. At
Wabash the waterworks are broken
and the city is without water for use
or fire protection. At Treaty, six
miles south, asBig Four freight train of
Is cars is wrecked in a washout. The
new iron bridge on Upper Urea ty creek
is gone and not bridge is left between
Treaty and Lafontaine. Two houses
were carried away. The Wabash has
been rising there at the rate of two
feet an hour and is spreading over the
fats Many factories wiz have to close.
At Fort Wayne there was cloudburst.
The water backed over many squares
of residences. Electric lines were
stopped and barns and debris are
backed against the bridges. At War
saw the big city sewer under construc-
ton is filled with drift. Easements are
filled with water. At Peru there were
four cloudbursts and great damage is

sands of acres win have to be replanted

Salt Lake City, June 25.-Brigham
II. Roberts was on Saturday sentenced
by Judge Norrell in the state court to
pay fine Of $3.50 or go to Jail for 15C
days for unlawful cohabitation." He
will appeal to the supreme court. The
point Roberts will raise in the supreme
court is that the information charges
that the crime of unlawful cohabita.
tion was committed in Salt Lake coun.
ty. One Of his wives lives in Davis coun.
ty, and he contends that the crime was
committed in two counties, and that
consequently the indictment is at
