KILLED HIMSELF AND WIFE
Chicago Lawyer. Well Known in
Denver, Puts End to His
Domestic Troubles.

Chicago, April 2O.-John j. Gillen, an
attorney, with offices in the Roper build.
ing, whose domestic troubles began in
Denver, shot and killed his wife this
evening. Then he turned the wearnn
upon himself and sent bullet into bis
own head. Tho murderer is at the
county hospital, whore physicians say
his death may occur at any moment.
Gillen's. crime was evidently premedi.
tated. He and his wife had been separ-
ated some time, and letters found in bis
pocket indicate that he blamed his wifes
family for their domestic infelicities.
Tho young wife's sisters followed them
on their wedding tour; once she was
spirited away by them, and once drugs
were given to her. All these interfer-
ferences Gilien charged TO tho McGuires,
his wiie's family. He concluded there
was but one relief from his troubles, and
took that method to wipe out everything
this evening
The unhappy couple met on Lake
street, near La Sale. They stopped to
talk and presently entered the hallway
OF business block to discuss their diff
erences. People passing heard loud
words from the hallway, and then sud
deu exclamation and two reports of a
revolver.
Persons who heard the shots rushed
into the hall. The woman lay on the
floor dead Gillen stood q few feet
away and held the revolver in his hand.
Even az men moved toward him he
raised the weapon, placed it to his fore
head and fred. he foil to the floor with
his hands almost touching tho tody Of
his wife. He was taken to the county
hospital where his wound was pronounc..
cd fatal.

OHIO RIVER FLOODS.
Thousands Warned and Save Their
Lives by Flight From
Their Homes.

Washington, April 2U.-The weather
bureau tonight issued the following:
The excessive rains OF the past twenty
four to thirty-six hours over the upper
Ohio watershed have caused heavy,
rapid and dangerous rise in the upper
Ohio river and its tributaries.
In anticipation OF a food OF decided
proportions. warnings were issued this
morning OF q thirty foot stage at Pitts
burg during tonight, and a danger line
stage or over below Pittsburg as far as
Portsmouth, o.
At Up. m. the stage at Pittsburg was
"a 6 feet, 2 26 feet above the danger line,
rise OF TO feet since q. m. and rising
half foot an hour. At Parkersburg
the stage was 34S feet, a rise OF feet
since a. m. and IL feet below the dan
ger line.
As it is still raining over the upper
Ohio valley. it is impossible tonight to
venture definite forecast OF the exact
crest of the food wave. 1t will, however,
move rapidly down the Ohio river, and
stages above the danger lines will no
doubt be reached as far as Cincinnati by
Sunday night or Monday.
Flood warnings have been widely dis
tributed, particularly in the vicinity OF
Pittsburg, and reports received tonight
indicate that great amount of portable
property has been removed to places OF
security. g..
Special reports have been called for
from the flood district on Sunday morn
ing, when further information will be
given aud additional warnings issued il
necessary.
The situation below Cincinnati will be
carefully watched and prompt and time.
ly warnings will be issued il necessary.

BANK UFFICEKS AXE MISSINU
With Two Hundred Thousand.
Bad Investments and Crook.
ed Bookkeeping.

Vancouver. Wash, April 2O.-The
First National bank failed to open it's
doors for business this morning and is
now in the hands OF National Bank Ex-
aminer j. w. Maxwell. President
Charles Brown and Cashier e. L. Can
by Of the bank have not been seen since
last night.
No statement Of the affairs of the
bank has yet been made but it is thought
the amount due depositors will approx
innate 100000.
About six months ago the capital stock
OF the bank was reduced from 100000
to $4,000. Entire confidence was re-
posed in the solvency Of the institution
until few weeks ago, when several de-
positors became Suspicious OF its credit
and withdrew their deposits. Much ex-
citement prevailed throughout Vancou-
YER this morning and crowds of deposit
ors gathered in front Of the bank. Hopes
are entertained by heavy depositors that
the institution will be reorganized and
pay at least so per cent OF it's deposits.
The following notice was on the front
door OF the First National bank at the
beginning OF banking hours this morn
ing:
This bank is closed and in the hands
of the comptroller of the currency.
(Signed) ~. NJ. MAXWELL,
Bank Examiner"
Nothing could be learned today rela-
tive to the financial condition OF the in
not prepared to give out any statement.
Heavy depositors in the bank are gener-
ally of the opinion that'the failure is due
to bad investments made by the officials
of the bank during the past two years
and carried along az asaeJs until discov-
cred by the bank examiner. The fail
ure is heavy blow to the town. There
is scarcely . man Of property in this city
who is not affected directly or indirectly.
The bank was established in 1888. 1t
was profitable institution for many
years, paying big dividends to the stock
| holders.
Among the heaviest losers are: Coun-
ty Clerk Ganther, $1,000. which was
paid into the court two weeks ago by
the Oregon & Washington Railroad com
pany for right OF way; Johu Ginder,
treasurer of Skamania county. $4,000;
L. NJ. Scanlon, treasurer of the city Of
Vancouver, $500.

Vancouver. Wash. April 81. .-Charies
Brown and e. L. Canby, president and
cashier respectively Of the First National
Bank Of Vancouver which was closed
yesterday by tho comptroller OF the cur
rencv, committed suicide last night two
miles from the city oy shooting them
selves with . revolver.
Their bodies were found this morning
lying together in q small clump Of BUSH
% about one-half mile north OF the
Columbia school, which is situated on
the outskirts Of the town. They both
used the same weapon and Candy evil
IDENTIFY died first as the revolver was
found in Browne hand.
1t is evident that Candy put tho mug
zle Of the revolver in his mouth and then
blow tho top Of his head of. Brown
then took it and shot himself in exactly
the same way, falling over Canby's body
The fact that Browns bicycle and a
few belongings Of Csnby,s were found q
short 'distancs out Of town last night led
to the belief that the two bankers had
taken their lives. EARLY this morning q
searching party started out and sitter
several hours hunt the bodies were found
in the clump OF bushes.

writes Robert r. Hill in The Century,

After lunch most Of the party proceed

to soap and scrub our linen. While
here the party INDUCED in guessing the
height Of the inclosing cliffs. The air
was so clear in this country that one
always underestimated the magnitude
Of the relief. None Of our estimates
exceeded 500 feet. Seeing n good place
for the first time in all our course to
scale the canyon walls, I climbed them
and measured the exact height, which
was 1850 feet. The view from the

A number of years ago Adolf Wen
eel, the great German artist, always a
man of wonderful powers of observa-
ton, consented to act as mentor for n
group of young artists, and, having
posed their model one morning, as
was his custom, he left them to theft
work. The model, 1t seems, was new
to the profession and unequal to the
strain of remaining immovable in one
position, and SO promptly tainted.
While the young men We're making
futile attempts at resuscitation, one
of their number ran excitedly to the
masters studio, informed him what
had happened and asked what to do.
