Great Western Railroad Company, has
made proposition to the citizens of Sac

Sac City is usually very free from
use-breaking, but the record has been
broken lately by three or four houses

guilty persons.

THINK THEY HAVE GLEN
Some Important Developments
In the Failor Murder Case
at Newton.
Now Believed That Robbery Was
Not the Motive Of the
Murderer.
Weapon Used Would Indicate
That Murder Was the Grim
malls Purpose.

Special to Times-Republican
Newton, Sept. 21.-The coroner's jury
that has been holding an inquest on the
case Of DR.. B. NJ. Faielor, who was so
brutally murdered here a week ago
Wednesday night, hash not as yet re-
turned a verdict.
The crime was one of the most diabol-
ical that has disgraced the state OF
Iowa in many years and the people OF
this community are SO wrought up that
every known effort is being made to
bring the guilty parties to justice. 1t
will be remembered that the doctor was
murdered in the night while returning
home from professional call, and when
the body was found it was discovered
that the pants pockets were turned
wrong side out and money and gold
watch gone. AS the town was full OF
strangers it was generally thought that
the miscreant was out for robbery, and
from his hiding place behind an old
building watched for the first man who
happened along alone and rushed out
and dubbed him. DR.. Failor happened
to be that man. This was the opinion
generally expressed, but since detec-
tives have been here the past few days
working on the case new clue has
been obtained. 1t is now believed by
some that an entirely different motive
prompted the commission of the awful
crime and that it was not the intention
to secure money or valuables, but the
Doctors death that was sought. That
there is some reason in this belief is
shown in the size of the club which
dealt the death blow. 1t was seasoned
white oak club, four feet and three
inches long and two and half inches in
diameter, near one end of which a nail
that had been broken off protruded
three-eighths of an inch 1t does not
seem that a person wishing to accom-
lplish ho!d-up should use such a
weapon. On the night of the murder
five arrests We're made, four of the five
being colored. These men have been
released. On the day following, Henry
Hammontree, a colored man from Des
Moines and formerly of Ottumwa was
sought, warrant having been sworn
out by Z. E. Lyday. Hammontree was
in town all the day before and was
watched with some suspicion, but the

PITlFUL FATE OF A CHILD.
Lest on ths Desert. . little Girl Dies ef
Hunger and Exposure.

North Yakima, WASH, May GA
5-year-old girl has been found on the
lonely desert of the Horse Heaven
country, 18 miles from her home,
standing in badger hole, where she
died from starvation. The child was
the daughter of Hon. w. b. Mat
thews, ex-coun.y commissioner OF
Yakima county. Searching parties
had been securing the country for five
days and nights in an effort to locate
the child alive. 1t was thought that
she had been carried away by Indians
and would be found on the reserva-
ton. She had been tracked IL miles
from her home when all traces Of her
were obliterated by the winds blowing
the tracks from the sand.
Two children, boy aged eight
years, and the girl, five, were sent out
from home five days ago to look after
some lost cattle. They walked away
until 10 miles from home, when grow
ing tired they fell asleep. A passing
cowboy noticed them, and after arous-
ing the sleepers took them OH his
pony and carried them almost home.
The children then assured him that
they could get home without further
assistance, and he let them go alone.
The night came on and it is supposed
the boy ran faster than his sister and
left her behind. When he reached
home he was frightened and could not
tell exactly what had happened. A
search was made for the girl, but she
could not be found that night.

TWO ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Arrest Of Men Who Broke Into the American

or of the robbery of the American Elk.
press Co. 8 office in Paris the night OF
April 26, when three masked burglars
escaped with 30, 600 francs, has been
arrested. His name is George Miller.
For some time he has lived in Paris
under the name of James Samuel, be-
ing employed in barber shop. Some
days before the burglary the detectives
noticed three men of English appear
ance whose behavior was very mysteri-
Gus. These persons entered banks
without doing any business, and in
spected buildings. The detectives
maintained a careful watch at the
railway stations for persons who
might possibly have been connected
with the robbery, and their patience
was awarded when they apprehended
Miller. Miller was the bearer of a
large number of stolen checks to the
amount of 5000 francs in box in a
leather handbag. He had also in this
bag dynamite cartridges, jimmies, a
metal saw and drills of the finest
steel.
Another one of the thieves has been
arrested at Amiens, his baggage being

At regular intervals a little elevation
Of solid earth, also known as brake,

and brakes were repaired and the

CLAIM AGAINST CHINA.
Amount Of indemnity Has Been Fixed Il
ST.. 200. 900.

Paris, May 3.-The foreign Office
has received dispatch from Pekin
announcing that NJ. Pichon, French
minister, presented today the report
of the committee on indemnity. The
amount China has to pay has been
fixed at 1855, 900 francs ($273, OOO,.
OOO). How it is proposed that the in.
demnity be distributed among the
powers is not set forth.
There was much disappointment
over the fact that the United States is
supporting England against an in
crease in the customs. This is at
tributed to the influence of the Amer
lean community in China. 1t is be
lieved that England, if alone, would
yield, but fears are entertained that
England's scheme is to prolong nego-
tiations until her hands are free in
Souh Africa, when she would show q
stronger policy in Chinese affairs.
Official advises received here from
Pekin say the ministers are divided
into two parties in the discussion to
decide how China is to raise the in
demnity. France, Germany, Russia
and Japan agree in favor of raising
the customs duties, which can be re-
lied upon to produce great part oi
the requisite sum, and the imposition
of a duty on junks, which will con-
stitute . tax on internal navigation
and taking over of some of the likin
provincial transit duties). On the
other hand the United States and
Great Britain decline to agree to an
increase of the customs duties, but
they do not appear to have presented
a counter proposition. The fact that
the United States and Great Britain
have joined hands on this issue has
caused surprised here. 1t was hoped
that the United States would stand
with France and Russia. The result
will be to greatly protract the nego-
tiatiOns.
