CzOLGOsZ Is INDICTED.
Grand Jury Charges Him With Muri
in the First Degree.

Buffalo, Sept. 17.-Leon Z. Czolgosz,
alias Fred Nieman, was indicted yes
terday by the county court grand
jury for the crime of murder in the
first degree in fatally shooting Presi-
dent William Mckinley at the Temple
of Music in the Pan-American expo
sition grounds at 4:15 o'clock on the
afternoon of September 6.
When arraigned before Judge Ed
ward Emery, in the county-court, the
prisoner stubbornly refused to an
swer questions repeatedly asked of
him by District Attorney Penney as
to whether he had counsel or want
ed counsel. The district attorney
then suggested that, inasmuch as the
defendant refused to answer, counsel
should be assigned.
Judge Emery assigned Hon. Lorain
Il. Lewis and Hon. Robert C. Titus,
former supreme court justice of this
city, whose names had been suggested
by the Erie County Bar association.
Czolgosz probably will be arraigned
again this morning to plead to the
indictment.
District Attorney Penney presented
the evidence in the murder case to
the grand jury. Aside from the sur
geons and physicians in the, case no
witnesses were sworn other than
those who were in the jTemple Of Mus
sic and witnessed the shooting.

WOMAN'S BODY FOUND.
Grewsome Discovery Made by Working
men Near Oskaloosa.

Oskaloosa, Sept. 1.-THE body of
a woman in an advanced stage of de-
composition was found in a clump of
high weeds southeast of the city by
farm hands who were cutting corn in
field. Attracted by the stencil the
men penetrated the thicket and
found the body stretched on its back,
the arms and legs stretched out. The
condition of the body indicates an eN-
posture of six or eight weeks. The
weeds had grown about the form and
any signs of a struggle which may
have existed were obIiterated. The
woman was well and stylishly
dressed, her long black hair dishev-
eled. Her hat was found near the
body. No weapons or papers were
found and Identification is impossible
on account of the advanced stage of
decomposition. No one is missed
about here, SO far as known, and the
greatest mystery surrounds the case.
Circumstances point toward the nee
essity for a careful Investigation.
The place where the body was found
is a lonely, unfrequented spot south
east of Forest cemetery, 500 feet
from the public road, in high weeds
at the side of plum thicket. Abso-
lutely no clue exists as to the lden-
tity of the corpse or the manner of
death. The body was that of a me-
dunn sized woman, and the hair indi-
Gated youth. She wore WOODEN
skirt, plaid shirt waist covered by a
vest like males garment, small
jacket, summer hat, trimmed, and
meas walking shoes. Il.

DR.. Failor, Aged physician, Beaten
and Robbed by Thugs.
Newton, Sept. 13.-Dr. Benjamin
nj. Failor, one of the oldest practic-
ing physicians of this city, was bru-
tally murdered at midnight while re-
turning from professional call, at
NNm. Graham's on Race street. DR..
Failor was visiting pleasantly with
his daughter, Mrs. Grandstatf, who
with her children came short TING
ago from Burlington for a visit at
home. About II o'clock a call came
to go to a house near the Rock Is
land deport and it being but few
blocks distant the doctor walked to
the place of his visit. He had COM
pleted his call and had just left the
house when in passing the Jasper
lumber yard, a dark and lonely place
at the corner of Race and North
streets, it is supposed he was at
tackled by thugs and sandbagged with
robbery as the motive. The doctor
was discovered in an unconscious con-
dition by passerby about an hour
after the assault and carried into
d. NJ. Wert's house. 1t was seen that
the doctor had been struck about the
head and over the eyes, the skull be-
ing fractured. His clothing was bad
ly torn and his watch gone. One
pocket of his trousers was torn out.
He was unconscious and could tell
nothing of the assault. He was re-
moved to his home, where he died at
S o'clock a. m. in terrible agony,
there being hole in his head that
seemed to cause terrible pain. Drs.
Engle, Smead and Robb, who were
called, are of the opinion that the
doctor was struck with club which,
perhaps, had nail in it. The police
as yet have no clue but several col
ored men have been arrested as sus-
poets. DR.. Failor was rs years of age
and highly respected, having prac-
ticed here for MANY wears.

Until then, however, he declines to
talk on the subject.

the trade of the United States in
South Africa was six million dollars.
Now, he says, it is twenty million dol
