Hands Dying Husband Pistol to Con

Scotield, Utah., Oct. 7.--As a result
CT a fight last night at the home of
Anton Bartnick between a crowd of
Slavs and Marshal Hugh Hunter and
his deputies, Anton Bartnick was shot
and killed and Deputy Marshal Nally
probably fatally wounded,
The Slavs had been drinking heav-
lily and became so b%oisterous that the
officers were notified. When they en-
tered the house and attempted to ar
rest Bartnick and his bartender, An
ton Genisky, the shooting resulted.
Genisky was arrested later. A pitch
ed battle took place in the house in
which the women took part. While
Bartnick, mortally wounded lay on
the floor, his wife placed a revolver
in his hand with which to continue
the fight. This was kicked cut of his
hand, when his wife gave him a knife,
urging him to keep on fighting. This
was promptly taken from the dying
man. Genisky will probably be charg-
ed with murder if Nally succumbs.

ARMY EXPENSES DECREAS
PAYMAsTER GENERALS REPORT
SHOWS MARKED REDUCTION
Every Cert Discussed by Department
Since War With Spain Ac.
counted For.

Washington, Oct. 6.-According to
the annual report of the paymaster
general, army expenses decreased
during the past year $91S,S19 as COM
pared with the preceding year, partly
owing to the decrease in the pay of
the army and in part to a reduction Of
claims for extra pay to volunteers.
The total expenses made by Pay
master General Bates were $685.
479.. The paymaster general is an
earnest advocate of the creation Of a
re-enlistment system for government
clerks based upon the deduction Of a
small s~emi-mcnthly supply from the
pay of each clerk.
A financial statement setting out
in great detail the expenditures of
the paymaster generals Office makes
it appear that the total approximate
cost of the war with Spain on account
of pay and extra pay to volunteers
and regulars and mileage to officers
was $73,66S, $40.
General Bates takes satisfaction in
noting the fact that every cent of
money discussed through the depart
ment from the date of the outbreak
Of the Spanish war has been sufi-
GENTLY accounted for and that the
government has not lost one cent
through defalcation, captures by the
enemy, robbery or other cause.
The cost Of disbursing the vast sum
of over $2OO.0OO,OOO including salar-
les and mileage Of paymasters and
pay clerks, has been about Z per cent
Of the amount disbursed.
The report contrasts this record
with the civil war, when nearly $780,
900 was lostsby the government.

Mckinley intended to thus reward

President Roosevelt, who has form
ed the same estimate of Mr.. Whites
abilities that President Mckinley
held, has decided to make him ambas-
sador to Rome. The appointment,
however, is not to be made immediate
ly, as Meyer, the present ambassador
to Rome, has just returned to that
post from a visit to his home in Mas
~sachusettes, and it is expected he will
remain in Rome during the coming

President Sent Regrets.

Washington Oct. 6.-The following
statement was made at the white
house today:
The president has expressed to Com
mander-in-Chief Torrance and to
Chairman Warner Of the local com
mittee, his keen regret at his inabil-
ity to review the parade of the Grand
Army of the Republic on Wednes-
day. His physicians feel that he
should not subject himself to the
great strain this would involve. He
has, however, thought in some way he
might be able to greet the members
of the Grand Army in Washington,
and their families and friends. His
physicians today stated that if moth
ing unforeseen occurred in his condi-
ton and if the weather was favor
able, he could safely be driven along
the line of parade on Wednesday, and
it is hoped this arrangement can be
carried out.
