MISS STONES TRIALS.
Letter from the Captive Says She
Dare Not Complain of Treatment
of Self and Companion.

Sofia, Nov. 12.-From another letter
that has been received from Miss Ellen
M. Stone, the abducted American mis-
sionary, it appears that she is endur-
ing the trials of her hard experience
with fortitude, forgetting herself i'll
her anxiety for her companion, Nine.
Tsilka. Miss Stone does not dare to
complain of the treatment to which
they are subjected, but she finds the
confinement irllsome and the weather
extremely trying. The tone of the
latest letter received from her is hope
full. The brigands, by dating the let
tiers at Places in Macedonia and de.
laying their delivery, seek to create
the appearance of being far distant.
The Bulgarian government continues
to interfere in the negotiations with
the object of forcing transference OF
them across the frontier

NOTE TO BULGARIA.
Consul General Dickinson Demands
That Government Do Not Interfere
In Negotiations with BriEands.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Now 13.-Consul
General Dickinson, of Constantinople,
has supplemented his verbal represen-
tations to the Bulgarian government
by note Tuesday in which he re-
capitulates the history of the abduc-
ton by brigands of Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone and her companion, Nine.
Tsillla, and the steps taken to obtain
her release, and reminds the foreign
minister of his promise to give every
assistance. He cites instances where
the attitude of subordinate officials
has not conformed with this assur-
ance. Finally, Mr.. Dickinson repeats
his demand for the non-interference
of the government in the negotia-
tions.
Mr.. Dickinson also quotes from
Miss Stones letters, saying that the
chief danger to which she is exposed
is fight from hiding places by night
at the approach of troops. He de-
clares that the people of the United
States will hold the Bulgarian gov
eminent morally and legally respon-
sible for the lives of the captives,
should the bandits, exasperated by
pursuit, Stay them.
The governments reply, according
to the opinion expressed in official
circles, will set forth that while
hesitating to establish the precedent
that the government give protection
to brigands in treating for the ran
som of captives. in the present case,
involving the safety of two ladies, the
government, as an act of courtesy
and humanity, will comply with Mr..
Dickinson's request.

last Thursday of 26 prisoners, was cap
tured eight miles north of Council
Grove Monday evening by posse I'M
der command of Deputy United States
Marshal Z. A. Prescott. Thompson
would not surrender, but was taken
after hard fight with the officers, in
which he was shot in the head, but not
severely injured. No member of the
posse was hurt. Deputy Marshal Pres

since Saturday morning on the watch

morning Deputy Prescott heard of the
presence of a negro convict few miles
north of town and Immediately set out
to make the capture, assisted by Sher-
if Michael and some other officers.
The officers had just emerged from a
wooded tract when they saw Thomp-
son running across the open. He was
ordered to halt. but he answered by
wheeling around and doing some rapid
firing with 44-caliber revolver. The
officers then fired and Thompson
dropped. He was stunned and was
easily secured. Thompson will be
taken back to the penitentiary to-day.
Another Convict Shot.
Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 49,

Monday morning near Quenemo,
Kan, while making dash through
Gordon of armed deputies. Now
there are but 10 prisoners at large.
Lewis is a white boy, 20 years of age,
who was sent up in October, 1900, to
undergo a five years. sentence for
larceny. He was tracked to a wood
ed place near Quenemo by the city
marshal of that place, which is stu

Leavenworth, and dozen men bear
ing rifles. An order to surrender was
met with defiance, and Lewis, un-
armed, and although practically
surrounded, darted for the nearest

hundred yards when bullet from a

pursuers pierced his Jung from be-

was taken to the marshal's office and
cared for while Warden McClaughrey

cHoKED TO DEATH.
Two Women Murdered MT Evansville,
Ind, Within n Few Hours, In
nm Identical Manner,

| Evansville, Ind, Nov. 13.-Two wom-
en- strangled to death in one day is
the record made here Tuesday, and the
entire police department of the city
is at work on the mysteries. The more
they investigate the deeper the mys-
teries seem. One man arrested,
charged with the second murder, was
released, as there was no evidence
| against him. The body of Mrs. Georgia
Railey was found at the edge of the
| city in First avenue at an early hour
| Tuesday morning. Death by strangu-
| lation is the verdict of the coroner, and
the police are working on this theory.
About five o'clock Tuesday after
noon several children coming from
school in the Slaughter avenue road,
near the southern Indiana insane asy-
lum, discovered the body of another
woman lying face downward and in
nearly foot of water. 1t was
brought here and a post-mortem ex-
animation made. Scores of people
flocked to the morgue and the body
was identified as that of Lena Renner,
woman about so years old, who
lived in Jasper, Dubois county, and
had been in the city for several
months. Miss Renner left home Mon
day night about eight o'clock, telling
her friends that she was going to
take a ride with friend. People in
the neighborhood say they saw a COW
cred buggy standing near the house,
but others who saw the girl leave
insist that she walked few blocks
away and took car.
About ten o'clock Tuesday morn
ing John Kifer went to the house
where the Renner woman was stop
ping and gave her friends the pocket
book which she carried, saying:
Here is Lena's pocketbook, which
she gave me last night to keep
for her. She said she was going to
meet friend and did not want to
carry the purse. There was $3.50 in
the purse when she gave it to me, and
five dollars has been spent. Lena will
return home some time this morn
ing" This led to his arrest, but after
being closely examined by the police
he was set free, having proved an
alibi. The officers are working on sew
eral other clews tonight. The post
mortem examination showed the
woman was choked to death.
The strange fact that both women
accepted invitations to go buggy rid
ing with FRIEND" that both met
similar deaths and that the friend"
in each case managed to conceal his
identity leads to the belief that one
man may have committed both crimes.
