Chicago, Nov. S.-Relatives of Hen
ry G. Hastings, milk dealer, believe
that body found in a vacant lot at
Covington, KY, yesterday under cir
cumstances that indicate a suicide or
a murder is his. They base their be-
lief on the fact that he has been miss
ing since Wednesday, that the name
Of the man found is the same as his;
that the descriptions are practically
alike and that Hastings was despon-
dent and had talked of suicide. Hast
ings some years ago was tried for the
murder of Attorney Hillard and was
acquitted on an insanity plea. Mr..
Hilisrd was attorney for Hastings and
the latter was not satisfied with an
accounting, claiming that some $4,000
had disappeared. The milk dealer
waited for the lawyer in the Rookery
building, where the latter had an Of
fee. When Inc attorney appeared his
client shot and killed him. Hastings
spent two years in jail. but finally was
freed.

Muncie, Ind. Nov. Sit is stated
that the Muncie Natural Gas company
whose patrons are shivering and even
have to 60 to bed as soon as dark
comes on. because there is not enough
gas to make a light to read by. has
refused an offer from the American
Sheet Steel company to supply them
with 100000 to 100000 cubic feet
OF gas daily 1t was offered at 8 cents
a thousand. The gas company at pres
ent is getting IL cents from consum-
ers. The people still insist that the
gas company is manipulating affairs
to force the consumers to join them in
advocating the advance in rates that
the company demanded permission to
enforce. There is great indignation
since the story of refusing to accept
the gas has been circulated.
Preparations are being made by the
citizens at least to accept the propo-
sition of the gas company to investi-
gate the wells and reducing station.
Ii it is done the committee will secure
experts from other cities and go to the
plants when not expected.

his speech in clear and distinct tones

of the testimony, but occasionally a
conclusion was drawn and frequently
there was criticism of the course pur-
sued by the admiral (then commo-
dore) Schley. Speaking OF Commo-

man, having served under his com
mand on two cruisers, l have never

This statement was made toward
the close of Captain Lemly's remarks.
After the adjournment the members
of the court, Admiral Schley and coun-
sci fingered for a time about the hall
in which they have spent SO much of
their time. and there were many affec

Admiral Schley as usual was called
upon to receive the greetings of a
number of admirers and hundred or
more people waited at the door of the
building to bid him adieu.
