ROBBERY, MURDER. AND
ARSON THEORY Of FIRE
Three Lives Lost in Burning
Building.

PALMYRA, Oct. 31.-The home Of the
wickings9n family al LaGrange. Val
worth county. was burned early yester-
day morning and three persons lost their
lives. The theory is believed generally
that they were the victims Of robbery
and murder.
The dead are Albert wickingson. aged
forty; William Wickingson. aged forty
two. Julia wickiDgson. aged thirty-four.
The wfckingsons were prosperous
farmers. The family consisted OF four
brothers and two sisters. One sister is
visiting in Illinois and two brothers
were away from home
At about o'clock the house was dis
covered on IRE by Albert Peterson. He
reached the house in time to have warn
ed the occupants Of their danger had
they been alive and conscious. He found
the doors locked and was unable to
arouse anyone.
The FIRE was discovered IN the upper
part of the house and it is considered
strange that none Of the family escaped
unless they had been murdered, as they
slept in different parts Of the house.
1t was known the WickingsOns, who
were among the wealthiest farmers in
Walworth county, had considerable
money in the house.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

Since the stringency IN the money
market which caused furry in Wall
Street before the settlement Of the coal
strike shipments of gold have been ex-
peeted by the officials of the financial
divisions. If such expectations should
amount to SI50, 600, 900, a published esti-
mate, the effect would not be nearly as
had as might be inferred from glance
at this large figure To tide over the
recent stringency and also to complete
pending mergers, millions OF dollars
have been recently borrowed from Eu-
rope. At the same tine as long as En-
gland continues to buy American bonds
the trade balance viii remain on this
side
As long as sterling exchange remains
at the present figure. IL is not likely
that much gold mill be exported. be-
cause ii is cheaper to pay tie exchange
rates II the cost for exchange in
creases then gold VIII be exported and
the S600. O0O. 600 in the United States
Treasury will be reduced. This. how
ever, only means that business men
will present gold certificates at the sub
treasures for redemption in gold bars
Upon the receipt OF these certificates at
the department here they are destroyed
and the department thereby cancels so
much liability temporarily While the
TreasuTy. accounts balance IN this way,
however, the circulation in the business
world IS always undesIraDly affected by
gold exports.
