lying on the floor, half between his
desk and the door of his office in a
pool of blood. Coleman called the DO

agine who the woman was who fired
the shots. An examination revealed
that three shots had been fired. each of
which had taken effect. Three bullets
were removed from the wounded
mans head.

MR.. BRYAN MAY RUN AGAIN.
Ones Destiny is Not Known Until His
Life's Work is Completed.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 27.-At the an
nual banquet of the Jeffersonian club
last night Mr.. w. J. Bryan said:
Whether | shall ever be a candidate
for Office again is a question which
must be determined by events. No one
can speak with certainty of the future,
for ones destiny is MT known until
his life's work is complete. | shall be
content if it is my lot to aiti in the tri-
umph Of the principles, while others
enjoy the honors and bear the respon-
sibility of Office.
THE principles for which We CON
tended in the last campaign still live,
and we who believe in them must CON
tinue to fight for them. An election
does not change principles. 1t only de
termines what principles shall be for
the time being applied. We have no
choice. therefore. but to stand stead
fast. come what may.
IF we are successful in reversing
political tendencies, and in carrying
the government to its old foundations,
we shall rejoice in the victory and pro-
At by the reforms secured. | am con-
fident that we shall ultimately win.
but If the trend toward plutoCracy
cannot be checked it is still better that
We should be defeated in a righteous
undertaking than that we should join
hands with those who are ignoring the
inalienable rights of man"

A wheelman named Grimwood has
been sentenced in England to fourteen
days Imprisonment, without the op-
ton of a fine, for alleged furious rid
ing. The constable estimated the
speed at from fourteen to eighteen
miles an hour. but the defense put it
at five or six. Grimwood. who is chief
engineer on a steamer, was not present,
as his duties called him away. so that
a surprise awaits him when he returns
from his cruise. The only corroborative
evidence Of the speed. as given by
the prosecution, was that of a man
who was knocked down. and who said
the rider was upon him before he
could turn round.

Everything Was Apparently Fixed
for the Murder an Officer Stepped
Up and Arrested Her-She Has a
Child.

Concord, n. H.. Dec. 27.-A scnsa
tional episode came to Il climax last
night in the arrest of Mrs. Carrie Sin.
clair Huntoon, 2G years OF agc. we'll
known in society. and at the time OF
her marriage one of the bellies Of the
city, on the charge of conspiracy with
intent to kill her divorced husband,
Walter c. Huntoon. of whom. It is as,
serted. she has been extremely jcul,
Gus. At the September term of the sl.
perior court Mrs. HuntOon was grant.
ed a divorce from her husband on stat.
utory grounds.
The story of the murder conspiracy
as given on by the police is as fol
lows:
On Monday Mrs. lIuntoOn went to
Boston and in the union station acrost-
ed II young man. William II. DuttDu OF
Dorchester. a total stranger, ASKING
him if he was looking for work and
would like to earn Il dollar. lie said
no, but she outlined a plan to him to
kill her husband, promising a reward.
Dutton gave her no definite answer,
and he went home and hold his father
of the conversation. His father sent
him to the police authorities Of BOs-
ton and they in turn notified City Mar
shall Locke. giving the latter Il doscrip-
ton of the woman, as Button rrmcm-
bered her. On Tuesday, the police say,
Mrs. Huntoon came back to this city,
and wrote a letter to young DuttOn.
telling him to come here at once. and
giving directions as to how he was to
do the job when he got here.
Gave Him Directions.
Dutton showed the letter to the pO-
lice, and by their directions met Mrs
Huntoon here at the real of the state
house. Marshal Locke and Assistant
Marshal Rand watched the proceed
ings. Young Dutton claims that Mrs.
Huntoon handed him a loaded revolver
uit an 'Ei''i'p'f hl'h 'h St'h "
tanned a s. bill as part payment for the
job. and another envelope as n decOy
letter. which was to be given to Hun
toon, her former husband. in order to
get him out of the house and into Il
favorable place for the carrying out
OF the crime. Mrs. Huntoon pointed IN
the direction OF the house, and as she
did so the city marshal stepped up and
caught her by the arm. She rccogniz-
ed the marshal and went into hyster.
les. When she came to her senses she
was allowed to say goodbye to her
aged mother and her little child and
then arrested. Mrs. Huntoon's
only excuse is that Huntoon snccrcd
at her when they met on the street.
Many of her friends say that her
troubles with her husband have caused
her extreme mental anguish and that
she is not responsible for her acts.

"wHIFE DEATH"

peculiar to the Rocky Mountain re-
gion, none is more strange or terri
BILE than the mysterious storm
known to the Indians as "the White
death. /" Scientific men have never
yet had an opportunity of iuvesti
eating it, because it comes at the
most unexpected times and may
keep away from a certain locality
for years. Well-read men who have
been through it say that it is really
a frozea fog. But where the fog
comes from is more than any one
can say. The phenomena occurs
most frequently in the northern
part of Colorado, in Wyoming and
occasionally in Montana.
Will Sparks, writing, in Ainslie's
Magazine of this singular phenom-
enon, tell this authentic story of it;
About two years ago a party of
three women and two men were
crossing North Park in a wagon in
January. The air was bitterly cold,
but dry as bone and motionless.
The sun shone with almost start
ling brilliancy. AS the five people
drove along over the crisp snow
they did not experience the least
cold, but really felt most comfort
able, and rather enjoyed tie trip.
Mountain peaks so miles away
could be seen as distinctly as the
pine trees by the roadside.
Suddenly one of the women put
her hand up to her face and re-
marked that something had stung
her. Then other member of the
party did the same thing, although
not sign of All insect could be
seen. All maryeled greatly at this.
A moment later they noticed that
the distant mountains were disap-
pearing behind cloud Of mist.
Mist in COLORADO i'll January!
Surely there must be some mistake.
But there was no mistake, BECAUSE
within ten minutes a gentle wind
began to blow and the air become
filled with fine particles of some
thing that scintillated like diamond
dust in the sunshine.
Still the people drove on, until
they came to cabin, where a man
signaled to them to stop. With his
head tied pin bundle of nuflers,
he rushed out and handed the dri-
yer piece of paper on which was
written; Come into the house,
quick, or this storm will kill all of
you. Don't talk outside here
"Of course, no time was lost in
getting under cover and putting the
horses in the stable. But they were
a little late, for in less than an hour
the whole party was sick with vio-
lent coughs and fever. Before the
next morning one of the women
died with all the symptoms Of pneu-
monia. The others were violently
il! Of ii, but managed to pullthrough
after a long sickness.
a." L seen you people driving along
the road before you get TO my house,
and | knowed you didn't know
what you were drivin' through,
said the man, as soon as the sur
viving members Of the party we're
able to talk. That stuff ye seen in
the air is small pieces of ice, froze
so cold il goes clear down into yonr
lungs without melting. If any man
stayed out a few hours without his
head covered up he would be sure
to die. One winter about eight
years ago it cleaned out whole
Indian tribe across the Wyoming
line. They are more afraid of it
than they are Of rattlesnakes.
That's the reason they call it the
white death. "'"
