HE KILLED THEM ALL.
Theodore Wallart, q Minnesota Farmer
Commits q Terrible Crime q Culmt-
nation of Domestic Trouble.

Arlington, Mimi, Aug. 21.-Last
night Theodore Wallart, a farmer
living three miles from town, killed
his wife and two of his step-children,
a girl of 16 and a baby, and seriously
wounded his 19-year-old step-son.
He then set fire to the barns, destroy
ing the stable with nine horses, a
corncrib and a full hay barn. Three
years ago Wallart married the widow
Stanbers and for some little time
they have been having trouble. The
wife had recently been trying to Sc
cure divorce and had taken means
to prevent Wallart from coming to
the farm. After practicing in the
woods with a revolver he returned
to the house and entered by one of
the windows. His wife was evident
" alarmed by the noise and was shot
and killed as she was leaving the bed.
The baby was found dead on the
lounge, the girl on the floor in her
bedroom. A second boy was seriously
wounded and has been brought to
town and it is feared he may die.
Wallart took to the woods after the
crime and has not been located.

Chinese Troops Surrounded.
PRAISE FOR THE JAPS.
Extraordinary Gallantry and Efficiency
Displayed by Them at Pekfn Impresses
Military Men Throughout World.

London, Aug. 21.-The Toxic tele-
gram seems to show that at Pekin, as
at Yang Tsun, it was the Japanese,
Americans and British Indians who
bore the brunt of the fighting. The
Japanese, on blowing up the eastern
gates of the Tartar city, would have
founO themselves much nearer the
Legations than the Americans and
British, who entered by the Tnng Pien
gates, and had the whole breadth of
the Chinese city to cross. On the
other hand, it may be assumed that
the best fighting men of the Boxer
force were in the Manchu city, so
that the Japanese may have had
more strenuous resistance to encoun-
fer than their allies. Military men
here are much impressed by the ac-
counts of the extraordinary gallantry
and efficiency displayed by the Japan
eese troops, though it does not sur
prise those who had opportunities of
seeing their behavior during the last
war with China.

RESULT OF A LINE FENCE QUARREL.
Two Of His Victims He Killed In . Most
Cold-BloOded Manner SheriTs Life
Was Taken While In Pursuit-As He
Fell the Sheriff Shot His Man THROUGH
the Heart

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. e1.-Dr.
Arlington, in Platte county, Mo-, near
East Leavenworth, shot and killed
James Wallace. a wealthy farmer, as
the result of a quarrel over a line
fence, and then going to the home
'of his mother-in-law, the widow of
William Wallace, deliberately shot her
to death. Arlington escaped in a
wagon with his young daughter, pur-
sued by Sheriff Dillingham; and a
posse. The posse came up with Ar
rington in the road near Farley
about ten o'clock and shots were
exchanged. The murderer opened
fire, wounding Dillingham; in the
breast and producing fatal wound.
AS he fell Dillingham; shot AIRING
ton through the heart.
The murders by Arlington were
committed in the most cold-blooded
manner. Wallace and Arlington, who
were neighbors, had been at outs for
some time. Wallace was greasing
his buggy, when Arlington ap-
preached and without a word fired
two shots, one taking effect in Wal
lace's head and the other in the
breast, killing him almost instantly.
Arlington then drove across the river
to Leavenworti, taking his daughter
with him, purchased $50 cartridges
and returned to the home of Mrs.
William Wallace. Arlington entered
the woman'S house unbidden and
shot her to death before she could
make an cutlery. His second crime
committed, Arlington climbed into
his wagon and drove off. A posse
was formed quickly and, headed by
Sheriff Dillingham;, started after the
murderer.
Saturday night Arlington drove his
wife away from their home by threat
ening to kill her. She slept in a corn
field and is still in hiding.

EARTHQUAKE CHANGED IT.
Alaska Mountain Split In Two and the
Stewart River Was Turned into
New Channel.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 21.-The
steamer Clutch, which has arrived
from Skaguay, brings news that an
earthquake on August 10 shook Skag-
uay for 20 seconds and was even
more severely felt at Dawson. All
the way down the river the shock
was apparent. At Dawson two small
government buildings in course of
construction were toppled over. Ar
rivals from the Stewart river, half
way down the Yukon to Dawson, say
the mountain there was split in two.
One stream was damned up partially
by fallen rock and it turned into the
newly formed canyon through the
mountain. Five miles of this stream
and two miles of the second tributary
of the Stewart were left dry.

EFFORTS OF NO AVAIL.
forest Fires In Wyoming Battle Human
ExertiOns and Herders and Their
FIOcks Are In Grave Danger.

Saratoga, Wyo., Aug. e1.-The for
EST fires continue to rage in the
mountains between Battle Lake and
Grand Encampment, and those towns
and the numerous mining camps and
sheep camps are threatened with de-
struction. The herders were. forced
to drive their focks high up in the
mountains to get feed, owing to the
scarcity of both feed and water on
the plains below and it is feared that
many of these herders have been sur
rounded with their focks by the
flames. The timber is dry and burns
fiercely. Nothing can prevent the
progress of the flames except heavy
rain. It is estimated that the loss
thus far, exclusive of the millions
of feet of fine timber, will be over
100000. Miners have joined the for
est rangers in the work of fighting
the fires. The combined efforts, how
ever, seem to be of no avail.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 21.-Bishop
Fowler, of the Methodist church,
has stirred up hornets nest, par
ticularly among the Mormons. In
an address before the conference of
the Methodist Episcopal mission of
Utah, in session here, he said: The
Holy Ghost in Utah is travesty. It
is hard place and great abomina-
ton. I don't believe in pOlygamy,
but polygamy is the whitest bird in
this Internal nest. The hardest
problem that is to be found in the
mission fields is to be found right
here. I believe that Utah is nearer
the mouth of hell than any other
place on EARTH"
