black oak tree. Without making any
investigation, Green hurriedly inform
ed the police. When the officers ar
rived on the scene, they marveled at
the simple ingenuity of the man. He
had withdrawn one of the straps that
buckled around the grip, and making
a running moose placed it around his
neck. He then turned the satchel on
end and fastened the end of the strap
to branch of the tree. A slight
shuttle of his feet was sufficient to over
turn the telescope and leave him sus-
pended few inches from the ground.
The gaunt features of the man told
plainly the motive that induced him to
take his own life, no less eloQuently
than the contents of his pockets.
He was sick and didn't have a cent.
In his grip was found a memorandum
book containing several entries, but
two of which can be used for the pur-
pose of absolute Identification. On
one leaf was scrawled Maggie Fitch
ette," and on another, "Sent in assess
ment No. 8, Minneapolis, $3.50, Dec. 8,
1901"
Galous was evidently a Frenchman,
and Coroner Miller believes that the
latter entry refers to some lodge in
Minneapolis.
He was dressed in black Bedford
cord trousers, light colored double
breasted vest and an Oxford gray coat
The remains will be held at the morgue
pending further Identification.

The primary election law is the ruin
of the Republican party, so says Hon.
Thomas Shevlin, of Minneapolis and
Minnesota at large.
Mr.. Shevlin was in st. Paul yester-
day to pay short visit to the Trans
Mississippi congress and very briefly
drop a thought or two on things po
litical with more direct reference to
the situation. in Hennepin county,
where Mr.. Shevlin has a deep interest
in the congressional fortunes of Your
Uncle" Loren Fletcher.
The danger signal has evidently been
displayed to the uninterrupted view of
Mr.. Shevlin and your Uncle" Mr..
Shevlin was somewhat perturbed and
made no attempt to conceal part of the
disgust which the war in the Fifth dis
trict has caused him. He said:
Republicans Calling Names.
THAT primary election law means
the ruin of the Republican party and
If it isn't wiped out before long we will
wake up too late. It's all right to talk
about giving everyone a chance, but it
results in setting Republicans by the
ears and making them call each other
names. We are finding it out over in
Hennepin. Republicans are reviling
one another and every day we hear
some old party man say: If that fell
low is nominated I'll vote the Demo-
cratic ticket The law is no good. It's
continuation will hopelessly disrupt the
Republican party and 1 believe we will
have it fixed when the next legisIa-
ture meets

Queer Story Of How Texas Postof-

Many years ago u heard Of Tickle
foot, a small postoffice situated in the
east corner of Crimes county, says d
letter in the Dallas News. Having
some timber landlto lbok after out near
there visited the place. None Of the
resident farmers near the postoffice
would give me experimentation until
] met q veteran some "a years of age,
who had in early days lived around
that vicinity, and hearelated to me the
following story:
Many years ago there lived in the
vicinity of Ticklefoot man of middle
age who came there a stranger from
whence no one knew. He was very
noncommunicative about his early his
tory. Being pleasant and agreeable
in manner and speech, he soon won
the confidence of his neighbors. There
were, at the time he settled there, sew
eral good looking widows who were
In good circumstances.
The newcomer bought small piece
or land and prepared to farm. During
the time he was fixing up his place he
commenced to pay marked attention
to one OF the widows, and after a short
courtshlp they were married. For more
than year their married life appeared
to be a happy one as far as the neigh
bors could see. Shortly after this
period the wife was found dead in bed.
There was no sign of violence and the
neighbors and friends who came to
the funeral supposed that the wife
had died OF heart disease. After she

was buried her husband administered
on her separate estate and acquired
the property that shea owned before
her marriage to him. j5
In the course of eighteen months he
married again. His second wife was
also widow with considerable prop
erty. After about sixteen months of
married life the second wife was
found dead in bed without symptoms
of violence. The physician who prac-
ticed near by was called to make an
examination of the corpse, and after
viewing the remains, gave it as his
opinion that the woman died of heart
failure. Both the friends of the man
and the dead woman, after the burial
of the second wife, became suspicious
and avoided his place. None of his
neighbors called upon him for a long
time; and when the time for mourning
had passed and the twice WidoWer in
three years attempted to pay court
to another widows his attentions were
received coldly. He was also Stunned
by the young ladies In the settlement.
Shortly after these experiences in
attempting to geti:a third wife he dis
appeared from the settlement and ne

big, buXom woman whom he claimed
as his wife. They did not live so hap

that they had serious quarrels. One
night about IL o'clock the third wife
of the man awoke her nearest neigh

and when admitted to the. house, her
hair was disheveled and garments torn,
and she had wild, scared look on her
face. After being qliieted down and

husband had of late frequently at
tempted to tickle her to death, and
last night had almost succeeded. She
further said that she believed that
his two previous wives had been tickled
to death. When asked to explain she
told the following.
Her husband was very devoted and
kind for year after their marriage,
but after that began to grow cross,
and would find fault with everything
she did around the house, and within
the last two weeks after retiring he
would commence to tickle her. He
continued this nearly every night until
she became so nervous that she would
laugh If he would point his finger at
her, and. that, night she went to bed
before him, tired out, and was soon
asleep.
About II o'clock she awoke and
found herself tied down in bed and her
husband sitting at the foot of the bed
tickling the bottoms of her feet She
attempted to rise and could not, and
implored him to leave her, but he con.
tinued his hellish work till she could
stand it no longer. With almost sup
erhuman effort she broke the bonds
with which she was tied and rushed
out of the house.

arose the name Ticklefoot postoffice.

JOHN w. GATES
is AGAIN DEFEATED
Denver Judge Refuses to Grant lnjunc-
ton in the Colorado Fuel
Proxy Case.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 19.-The John
w. Gates faction of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company have lost another
round in their battle for control of, that
company. Judge Riner, of the United
States district court, tonight denied
their application for preliminary in
junction to prevent officials of the COM
pany from refusing to allow them to
vote proxies they claim to hold at the
stockholders meeting which is sched-
uled for tomorrow in this city.
The suit, which was brought in the
name of John J. Mitchell and others
against the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, was based upon the alleged
fraudulent and absolutely void bylaws
which was adopted by the board Of di-
rectOrS of the company on July 30 last,
and which the compliments charged
was framed and adopted for the pur-
pose of enabling the present officials of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
to dictate the action of tomorroW's
meeting, and also to deprive the com
plainantS and the shareholders they
represent by proxy from voting at such
meeting.
Judge Riner held that the allegations
in the bill of complaint were fully met
and denied by the answer of the de-
PENDANT company. In deciding the ap-
plication by preliminary injunction the
court was not expected to pass upon
questions of law.
However, he would say that on it's
face the bylaw provided for an or
derby and lawful method of conduct
ing a shareholders meeting, and that
apparently there was no other purpose
| in view. The bylaws was adopted in
good faith. The application for pre-
| liminary injunction would therefore be
| denied.
The application was made several
! days ago and a brilliant array of legal
talent was represented on either side
of the case. The court room tonight
was crowded with spectators, among
whom were the leading members of the
| local bar, who have watched the
course of the battle with deep interest.
Mr.. Gates and his friends listened at
| tentively to the reading of the decision,
and as soon as it was completed left
! the court room with their attorneys.
| Mr.. Gates was in consultation with Mr..
Vale until late in the night. 1t is said
| two separate stockholders meetings will
be held tomorrow, the one called by the
present officers of the Colorado Fuel &
| Iron company and another by Mr.. Gates
and those he represents.

At the request Of a large number of
Dayton's bluff residents, Aid. Busch
mann last evening introduced in the
council resolution demanding that
the engineering department prepare
without delay plans and specifications
for the extension of the Third street
bridge to Maria avenue. The request
was sent to the committee on streets.
and there 1t will receive consideration
when that body again meets.
For this extension $4,000 now re-
poses in the city treasury, and th1 peo-
pie of Dayton's bluff, fearful that they
will lose the amount if the work is
permitted to lapse over the end of the
year, are pushing the matter. In all
$4,000 will be required, and the re-
mainder of the amount the residents
hope to prevail on the conference COM
mittee at Its next meeting to appro-
pirate.
New Eastern Terminal.
The latest scheme advanced in con-
nection with the extension of the
bridge is to make Commercial street
the Eastern terminal This would
neceSSitate the raise Of Commercial
street about ten feet and allow traffic
an entrance to Maria avenue by way
of Fifth street. Here the grade Is less
than that on Wabasha street, and is
much easier for teams than If extend
ed direct to Hoffman avenue.
Could BE Made for $4,000.
From Hoffman avenue to Maria on
Third street there is a grade of over
per cent, and this will always re-
main whether the bridge is extended or
not. Under the new arrangement, it is
claimed, that the extension could be
made for the amount now appropriate
ed, $4,000, while to take it direct to
Hoffman avenue would entail cost of
$125,000, and damage much property on
what is now known as the flats.
This new scheme will be discussed at
the meeting of the committee on
streets.

Charles LEM, who is one of our
