 He was himself finally killed by of1- cers who tried to overpower him.
 The victims are: John R. Garrett aged 40 years. junior member of the firm of Robert Garrett Lumber Com pany. died at hospital; Dr. Charles HcGee, aged 30, shot in back ana probably fatally wounded; Police Ser- gent William Dodge. shot in neck. se- rious: Michael Mcdonald. detectives shot in leg, slight; Joseph Fathgers policeman. shot in hand, wound slights Ike Healer, laborer at lumber yards. shot in hand. wound slight.
 Kelly had lived in Leavenwcrth for years and at different times had en- gagged in minor business enterprises. He was eccentric and during the pres-s idential campaign in 1896 lost his mind entirely. At that time he was arrest- ed for creating . disturbance and lat@ CT threatened to kill Garrett. He was arrested and adjudged insane. Gar- rett and four others testified against him.
 After a year ih the Topeka Asylum Kelly was released. He had been act- ing queerly again and declared he would kill the men who sent him to the asylum. Daily for two weeks he has been practicing shooting with the re- volver at the Fort Leavenworth range. Last night he drank heavily. Today. shortly after 12 o'clock he appeared at Garrett's office and without warning. shot Garrett as he sat at his desk Garrett fell into the doorway and Kel--' ly shot him four more times in the left breast. through fhe liver and twice in other parts of the body.
 Kelly then ran to thg rear of tho company's lumber yard and began re- loading his revolver. PreFently he rec over Garrett. Kelly. from outside the window. shot Dr. McGee in the back. and he fell near Garrett.
 Then followed an exciting street fight between the madman and police men. Kelly dashed through the lum~ Der yard, met Ike Healer, a laborer, and shot him in the hand. A few yards farther he encountered Police Sergeant Dodge. The two exchanged shots as they ran. One bullet from Kelly's revolver struck Dodge in the neck. but not before the policeman had shot Kelly in the shoulder Kelly kept on running and was soon cons fronted by Detective Mcdonald and Officer Falthager. Mcdonald dropped Kelly with bullet in the neck. Dodge raised his revolver. but 1t failed to work and catching up with the mur- derer he crushed his skull with the weapon.
 Kelly sank and was carried to the station unconscious. dying soon after his arrival. Garrett never regained consciousness. and died an hour after being taken to the hospital. pr.

SCHLEY ASKS
 FOR INQUIRY Dewey Will Be at Head Of
 Court. MIR. LONG E rs PROMPTLY Other Mem 2 s to Be An nounc, 3 Today. old Controversy win Be Threshed Over and a Permanent Settle ment of the Dispute is
 Hoped For.

Washington, July 24.-Secretary Long, in accordance with a request from Admiral Schley, today advised that officer that he would order court of inquiry to examine into the entire matter of Admiral Schley's course in the Santiago maya! campaign. Later the Secretary announced that owing to the extremely hot weather the court would not meet until September, and that he would turn over his reception room to the court.
 twill the sessions of the court be open?'
 .'Unquestionably. I propose to make that fact very plain. It would be great mistake to have a secret court. The country has the right to know all that transpires in the way of testi- mony offered. I hope to name the per- sonnel of the court tomorrow, and this will give the judge advocate and re- corder ample time to prepare list or witnesses who are to be summoned. This list will necessarily be quite lengthy, and it will take some little time to assemble the officers here. l do not believe that the session of the court will be prolonged, because, after sll, a great deal of the talk over the Santiago campaign is like the Geni's vapor which can be condensed into a small bottle"
 "Will Admiral Schley be allowed to name witnesseE"
 Admiral Sckley.' was the reply, Twill be afforded every opportunity for the appearance of all the witnesses he may desire. He Is also entitled, under the naval regulations, to be represented by counsel"
 While Secretary Long was not asked whether the court of inquiry would be asked to form and subit an opinion upon the facts disclosed by the inves- tigation. 1t is considered quite prob able that this course will be pursued Unless the order converting the court expressly requires this opinion to be expressed, it's report must be confined tu stating the facts found.
 There is much speculation as to the members of the court other than Ad- mrai Dewey. The Secretary himself says there is no warrant for the an- nouncement of any particular name, as he still has the question under advise ment. He has been making inquiries during the day as to the availability of certain officers and it is understood that some telegraphic inquiries have been made of those absent from the city to see if there is any reason why they should not serve

 MT. Lowe of Jefferson, the Chairman of the State Democratic Committee, spoke against the grandfather clause and said that the real purpose was to secure honest elections.

An editor who died of starvation was
being escorted to Heayen by an angel
who had been sent for that purpose.
"May l look at the other place before

below and skirmished around taking in
the sights.
The angel lost track of the editor and
went around to hades to hunt him. He
found him sitting by furnace tanning
himself and gazing with rapture upon a
lot of people in the fire. There was
