desperate fight, while attempting to es-
cape from the Mortified, Mimi, bank

life sentences in Saltwater penitentiary
but have proved such model convicts that
efforts to free them have generally met
with liberal support.

IS DEAD.
A. f. FRENCH PASSES AWAY
AFTER A BRIEF ILLNESS
One of Denison's Pioneer Citizens Goes
to Meet His God.

to Meet His God.
Our community was greatly grieved
on Monday to learn of the death of Mr..
A. F. French on the evening before.
Although he had rot quite achieved
his three score years and ten, Mr..
French had been an invalid for mum
ber of years. During this time he did
all that his strength would allow and
the tender love of his family and his
wide circle of friendship attest that he
did his utmost to be true to the obliga-
tions of life. He was a prominent mem
Der of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie and was one of the many who risked
his life in the defense of the union.
During his more vigorous days he was
a contractor of reputation and stand
| ing and during his declining years he
still followed his trade as a carpenter
and cabinet maxer.
| Aaron Farnham French was born at
Cabot. Vt, April 2, 1882. BY his first
marriage in the east he had four
children, twossons and two daughters,
who still survive him. After his sery-
| ice in the civil war he came to the
west and was married to Mary j. Bar
ker and she, with their two daughters,
Gertrude and Frances, deeply mourn
the departed husband and father. Mr..
French also leaves three sisters and
three brothers in the east and one
brother in the west. The cause of his
death was bright's disease although
the end was hastened by pneumonia
The funeral services took place at

information Ringer boarded the train
and found the right party and is now
guarding her at the Wilson House.
Later telegram was received asking
if the prisoner would consent to return
to Nebraska without requisition pa
pers. She said she would and she is
now awaiting the arrival of the sheriff
The prisoner is undeniably pretty,
gave her age as eighteen and says her
name is Grace Rankin or Grace Fox.
She says the charge against her is
made by her grandmother and is the
result.of family quarrel. She states
that she has been in Chicago for the
past three years but did not state what
her business had been while there.
While on visit to her home at Lynch,
Neb., she was much with her cousin a
4 girl about nine months younger than
EherseH. When she was about to re
turn to Chicago she says the cousin,
Gertie, wished to go with her but that
she did not have money enough for
both. They went a little way together

man for funds. Not receiving these
she returned to her home but that in

all the governors OF northwestern

Completed for Their Care.
@ The first. installment of Denison's
new library arrived last week, but they
remain packed in their cases because
ut present the arrangements have not
been completed as to their care. There
seems to have been a hitch in the ar
rangements between the w. G.. T. u.
and the library committee and thus the
new library has no permanent home.
The invoice just received consists
chiefly of reference books OF the best
recognized standards and forms splen-
did basis for the great library Denison
is to have. One member Of the com
mittee states that it is harder to spend
the money iudiciously than it was to

pangs inflicted by the bullet of a
~coWardly assassin while his life hangs
in the balance.
Standing in the midst of crowds
numbering thousands, surrounded by
every evidence of good will, pressed
by a motley throng of people,
showered with expressions of love and
loyalty, besieged by m%ultitudes, all
eager to clasp his hands-amid these
surroundings and with the ever re-
curing plaudits of an army of sight
seers ringing in his ears, the blow of
the assassin fell, and in an instant
pleasure gave way to pain, admira-
ton to agony, folly turned to fury
and pandemonium followed.
While President Mckinley was re-
ceiving in the Temple of Music yes
terday afternoon he was approached
by a man with a dark m~oustache and
with one hand covered with a hand
kerchief AS the man extended his
hand to fhe president, apparently with
the intention of shaking hands with
him, he fired a shot which entered
the presidents right breast, lodging
against3 the breastbone. Another
shot wa fred at once, which entered
the presidents abdomen. The assail-
ant was Immediately arrested.
Detective Geary was near the
prisoner and the president fell into
his arms.

TRAGEDY AT Topeka.
Eolah Hounsom. Who Lived Alone, Burned
to Death In Her Home-Robbcry
the Probable Motive.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. AT an early
hour Friday morning Miss Eolah
Hounsom was burned to death in her
home on Kline street. The body was
not rescued from the flames until it
had burned fully half an hour, and
when recovered was little more than
a charred mass of human flesh, and
absolutely unrecognizable. Miss Houn-
som was 80 years old, and lived alone
in a one-story frame building. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Murder
with robbery in view is suspected by
the police as she was known to have
had some money.

pressed his lips firmly together and
listens with an air of assumed indif-
ference to the persistent stream of
questions, arguments, objurgations
and admonitions with which his cap
tors seek to induce or compel him to
talk.
1t was just after the daily organ
recital in the splendid Temple of Mu-
sic that the dastardly attempt was
made.
Planned with all the diabolical in
genuity and fneness of which an
archy or nihilism is capable, the
would-be assassin carried out the
work without a hitch, and should his
designs fail and the president sur
vive, only to Divine Providence can
be attributed that beneficent result.
The president, though we'll guarded
by United States secret service de-
tectives, was fully exposed to such an
attack as occurred. He stood at the
edge OF the raised dais, upon which
stands the great pipe organ at the
east side of the magnificent struc-
ture. Throngs of people crowded in
at the various entrances to gaze upon
their executive, perchance to clasp
his hand, and then file their wav out
in the good-naturated mob that every
minute swelled and multiplied at the
points of ingress and egress to the
building.
The president was in a cheerful
mood and was enjoying to the full
the hearty evidence of good will
which everywhere met his gaze. Upon
his right stood John G. Milburn, of
Buffalo. president of the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition, chatting with the
president and introducing to him
especially persons of note who ap-
preached. Upon the presidents left
stood Mr.. Cortelyou.
It was shortly after four p. m.
when one of the throng which sur
rounded the presidential party, n
medium-sized man of ordinary ap-
pearance and plainly dressed in black,
approached as il TO greet the presi-
dent. Both Secretary C~ortelyou and
President Mckinley noticed that the
mans hand was swathed in a bandage
or handkerchief. Reports of bystand-
ers differ as TO which hand. He
worked his way amid the stream of
people upto the edge OF the dais until

calamity as had here befallen the
president and the nation. The third
was a bystander, a negro, who had
only an instant previously grasped in
his dusky palm the hand of the presi-
dent. AS enc man the trio hurled
themselves upon the presidents as
sailant. In a ~twinkling he was borne
to the ground, his weapon was
wrested from his grasp and strong
arms pinioned him down.
Down at police headquarters, sur
rounded by stern-faced inquisitors of
the law, is a medium-sized man of
commonplace appearance, with his
fixed gaze directed on the floor, who
