Omaha. Neb., Nov. e. Clasped in
each others arms, lying on the floor Of
the pastors study in the German Bap-
tit church, Oscar Berndes, janitor of
the church, discovered the dead bodies
of Rev. William c. Rabe, pastor and
Augusta Busch, a missionary and as
sistant to the pastor. Death had been
caused by asphyxiation. The room was
filled with gas, a jet and burner of a
small stove being partly turned on.
The bodies were lying on the floor
when found, the woman's head being
pillowed on some cushions
There seems 10 be little doubt that
the deaths were accidental. 1t is be-
lieved the pair had fallen asleep, the
flame blew out and the gas escaped.
The bodies were rigid and stiff and
death had evidently occurred during the
early hours of the previous evening.

IDAHO GOES REPUBLICAN.
Legislature VIII Probably Re Repub.
Iican ON Joint BaIIot.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. 6--.At this hour
il Is shown that the election in Idaho
was landslide for the republicans.
While definite figures are not in yet
from many quarters enough is known
to say the republican state ticket is
elected by = majority Of probably about
$500, and that the legislature is safely
republican.
The democratic counties show great
~ reduced majorities, and some Of
them have wheeled into the republican
column. Shoshone is claimed by the
republicans on both the state and the
legislative tickets. Nez Perez Is re-
publican by from 400 TO 600, and the
legislative ticket has been collected.
In Ada and Canyon counties the ma
joritiee are large. Ada is estimated 10
have cast 200 majority for Morrison
and something more for French.
Canyon county has gone republican by
from 400 TO 500. In both the entire
legislative tickets have been elected.
Boise county has gone for Hunt, 20
far rs is known. and the democratic
candidates for the legislature. Wash.
ington county is close, but the chances
seem IN be that IL will give the repub-
iican state ticket a substantial major
ity and elect at least two Of the repub-
llcan legislative candidates.
Owyhee gives Hunt a small majority
but goes against Hutchinson. The re-
publican legislative ticket is elected.
In the southeast republicans majorities
have been increased. Bannock county
has gone republican, and Fremont
claims IL will show 500 for the state
ticket. Figures from Bear Lake and
Cassia indicate both are republican.
Bingham goes 800 republican. Oneida
is republican, and il is thought the
majority will reach 500.
I.emhi and Custer have not been
heard from. but IL il probable the DEM
ocratic majorities there are not as large
as two years ago. Blaine county has
cut down its democratic majority of
two years ago, but the definite figures
have not yet come in.

ROBBED INDIAN OF $4,000
Montana Brave Was Easily Relieved
of His Money.

Plains, Mont, Nov. A wealthy
Flathead indian named Machell was
robbed recently Of S22 900 in cash, the
money consisting Of 500 bills and $50
gold pieces. Macbell was a visitor
in Plains, and during his absence, at
about 10 O'Clock at night, man
dressed as a squaw visited his home on
Camas priarie and engaged in CONVEX
sation with Machell's squaw. Mrs
Machell noticed that the visitor was
not an Indian squaw but a white man,
as he could not talk good Flathead, but
she did not suspicion anything wrong
at first, but finally saw two young men
run from an outbuilding carrying some
thing with them. 1t aroused her sus-
picion, as the wealth had been stored
in that building.
The robbers jumped on their horses,
which were nearby, and the one that
had been talking to her Joined them
and the three rode away hurriedly.
As soon as she reached Plains with
the news several of the white citizens
of that place accompanied Machell TO
his home to find if the story was true,
which was proven on their arrival
there. A score Of young indians started
out to try to- locate the robbers, but no
clue had been discovered. Machell
was the wealthiest full blood Indian on
the reservation. He has large herds of
cattle and was always known TO have
money, but few people knew that he
kept it at home. 1t developes, however,
that the old Indian was afraid to trust
his money in the bank and kept it in
an old trunk in an outbuilding at his
home
