Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 4-The Eighth
regiment had another call to arms last
night. The pickets in the viHintty Of the
stable saw man stealthily approach
the horses. The instant he heard the
soldiers command the prowler turned and
fled Three bullets were sent after him
but he escaped. The sentry on the next
post also saw man running In the dark
ness, and he, too, fired. The sound of
the shooting aroused the guard and the
bugle all to arms was Immediately
sounded. The whole regiment was quick
ly in line and Company H was sent out
to Investigate. But the mysterious per-
son had disappeared. After that the men
were not again disturbed.
Colonel Hoffman is of the opinion that
the intruders were about to make an at
tack on the horses by hamstringing them.
He is sorry the strangers were not cap
tured or crippled by the sentries' bull
let's. He considers 1t a severe. offense to
injure the horses.

Nicaragua. Ministers Concha of Colon
tia and Correa of Nicaragua are carrying
on the negotiations.
The move grows out of the suspicion
with WHICH these two countries have
viewd each other of late. Colombia has
asserted that nicaragua is responsible for
much of the trouble on the isthmus cf
Panama; that expeditions have formed on
Eicara guam soil, and that the Nicaraguar
port Yof Corinto is base Of revolution
ary operations against Colombia There
have been strong tntimations that Colom-
bia would adopt counter steps by an In
vasion of Nicaraguan soil
Now, however, there are good prospects
that the negotiations opened in Washing
ton will lead to mutual explanations and
apologies and to an agreement by which
each will rigidly. respect the laws Of neu-
trality and the rights of the other.

What awill the republicans OF Henne-.

Who will be their candidate at the
polls?~ =. ''s
There are three candidates. before the
people for the - republican nomination.
Loren Fletcher seeks denomination, and
Is opposed by James A. Peterson and Eu-

there are two questions to- be considered.
First, which would make the best con-
gressman? Second, which stands the best
prospect of carrying the district against
Mr.. Lind? 49, >.->. 49, =
There is no disposition on the part OF
republicans to belittle John Lind's
strength in this county, and just now the
second question is giving them more trou-
BILE than the first. Six years ago John
Lind ran for governor against David NJ.
Clough Of Minneapolis, and carried He Hen

years later he ran against William H.
Eustis of Minneapolis and carried the
county by SITS. Running for reelection
in 1900, he lost this county to S. R.. Van
SAINT by 557 votes That was a presiden-
tial year. Now he is running for an Of

Devils Lake, N. D.. Aug. A most foul

cottage in the south part Of the city.

receiving a response from inside, Wilson

investigation disclosed that Nachtsheim
had been murdered and his body thrown

the remainder Of the night and this NOR
ming Sheriff Rutan impanelled jury and
an inquest was ordered.
Head Cut From Shoulders.
A horrible sight was presented when the
dead body was raised from the cellar to
the room. The head was severed from
the shoulders and had a deep bullet hole
| in Its crown. AS the body was in bad
| state of decomposition, 1t is evident the
crime was committed at least eight or ten
days ago, and the absence Of any blood
outside and his body placed in the cellar.
| The bullet was found in the head and Is
| Of 38 caliber.
Robbery Likely the Motive.
! The tragedy Is shrouded In mystery and
the only motive apparent Is robbery.
Nachtsheim during the recent Chatauqua
season sold much beer ana must have had
! several hundred dollars on his person
when killed. but only Is cents was found
in his vest pocket this morning. He was
employed In the Great Northern coal sheds
and was about IS years old and came here
| from st. Paul many years ago. He was
of quiet, unassuming and peaceful dis
position and was not known to have haG
any enemies.
No relatives Of the murdered man are
known here, but he frequently spoke OF
intimate friendship with the Lahr families
OF St. Paul and St. Cloud.
There Is absolutely no clue to identf,
his murderers, although the officers are
shadowing several suspicious characte er!
and will leave nothing undone to brin,
the guilty ones to justice. The remain!

All this was the work OF one man. a man
who loved trees and caused more to be
planted than any other man in the world.
He made Of the barrer prairie a varied

the eager westerners that there is not only
an artistic and an ethical meaning in the
tree-planter's mission. but a financial gain
as well-a lesson that in the vests pres

strong a bearing as any argument that
