shooting ARRAY OF Saturday night In
which Louis Culver. James Reynolds. Mrs.
Minnie Merrill and Charles Ely figured.
the last named being an innocent victim.
was the marriage of REYNOLDS TO Mrs.
Merrill late last night.
Culver and Reynolds were released on
bail yesterday. Both began to renew their
attentions to Mrs. Merrill. Last night Rey-
nolds had the advantage OF his rival. Gull
yer, who is over sixty years OF age. He
regarded Mrs. Merrill as having saved his
life when she rushed between him and
Culver when the latter pulled his pistol,
and his gratitude prompted him TO pro-
pose immediate marriage.
Soon after Mr.. Reynolds and his brides
elect started for the minister's homo they
were leading a procession OF two hundred
persons. Tin pans and horns were ac-
compartments OF the march. Finally Rey-
nolds and his fiancee were so thoroughly
heightened that they dared not proceed

He then found that no witnesses were at

Chicago. Aug. 1s.--One hundred dollars

conductor on the Pan Handle" road as
ransom for the return of his daughter.
Lurena. 13 years old. who nysteriously
disappeared from her home July rs.
TIE money was paid to Mrs. c. e.
stahI. who signed receipt for II and de-
livered the girl TO her parents.
The police were notified soon after Lu-
rena disappeared. but they could nst find
her A young man who had some trouble
with the postal authorities was suspected
Of having something to do with the girls
disappearance, but this has not been
proved.
Her parents in some way learned that
Mrs. Stahl could give them information
concerning their daughter They went to
her yesterday. accompanied by a Central
Office detective. They learned that Lure
ma had been in a hotel near where Mrs.
Stahl lived. but had left there a few hours
before their arrival.
Mrs. Stah denied knowledge Sf the
girls whereabouts. but told Freeman she
would use her best efforts TO find her. and
stipulated that she should be paid 500 II
she was successful
Mrs. Freeman last night hunted all over
the neighborhood for her daughter. but
could not find ner. The Stahl woman to-
day notified the Freemans TO be on hand
and she would do what she could to re-
store their lost child.
They went TO her residence and Free
man said he was ready to pay her the
money IL she would produce Lurena.
She agreed to do so. and the money
was paid to her. Then she restored the
girl to the mother.
1T was divine aid that enabled me to
find the girl" was the only explanation
Mrs. Stahl would vouchsafe.
ANY price would have been cheap to
get back my daughter" said Freeman
II have no complaint TO make"
The payment OF the money was with
out knowledge OF the police and the dis
appearance of the girl and her detention
are still matters OF mystery TO the au-
thorities. So far as the Freemans are
concerned the incident Is closed. for they
do not wish to prosecute any one. They
have recovered their daughter and they
do not care to push the matter further.
but II Is possible that an official investig-
alton will be made. No one Is allowed to
see Lurena at her home.

IS DENIED
Motion to Dissolve Attachment
on Schooner Hattie and Lottio.

Judge Dubois today denied the petition
Of Capt. de silva that an attachment
placed upon the schooner Hattie and Lot
tie be dissolved. Capt. de Silva claimed
that before the attachment was placed
the schooner had been hypothecated to
him by the owners
The attachment was made by Antoine
Rogers who claims he advanced money
for the fitting out Of the boat. Capt. de
silva's claim amounts to s14oo and he says
he advanced the money when the owners
OF the schooner got into difficulties at
the Cape de Verde islands.
Judge Dubois took the view Of Ballou
q Tower counsel for Rogers that the
crout had not jurisdiction to discharge
the attachment. his honor saying that he
could not settle a dispute 10 the title in
the vessel. The suggestion was also made
by his honor that repievin would be the
best remedy for the captain.
During the hearing II was argued that
the court could not dissolve an attach
ment on the motion OF the defendant IN a
case and that Il could certainly not DO
80 where the person asking for the disso-
luton was not party to the suit. Judge
Dubois sustained the point.

secretary of the Trades Council, has
written this startling statement for
publication:
I feel 1t my duty to make public the
facts OF my recent illness and recov-
cry. I was very sick and sore, and had
to walk with the aid Of two canes. It
was a very painful attack. but I don't
know what it was. Some said Il was
Lumbago. n others that 1t was Sciat-
lea o. rheumatism.
Il was told to take Dodd's kidney
Pills, and began a treatment. After /
had used one box I could walk with one
cane. ~andoafter two boxes were used /
could walk without any help. I kept
on. and three boxes cured me complete
ly.
Il am low well and happy, without a
pain or an ache, and I can very truly
say that Dodd's kidney Pills are
worthy of my greatest praise"

Chicago girls who listen to the click

hours every day in the week laugh at
the idea that their New York sister

Il do not care to say that the New

tentions that they have had cases OF
deafness due to the sound made in
connecting and disconnecting the tele-
phones, but it sounds improbable to
me. We have had the signal system

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.

The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.
Regina, Assiniboia, Canada. January
1Oth.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department Of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year., owing to
the extensive crop and the delay in
getting it threshed. The Department
Of Agriculture is leading the way In a
ley departure. with regard to the
collection Of crop statistics. In the
older provinces. crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion Of per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be. and no doubt are,
we'll posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply q matter
Of opinion, In which a mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De
system Of returns Of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for
they represent a compilation OF actual
threshing results. In this connection,
1t might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing a system Of
growing crop returns, which will be in
operation next summer The infor-
nation thus obtained. with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies. and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases Of abb
normal development In the Regina
district, many returns are given Of
crops of wheat running from 40 to As
bushels to the acre.
]. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed
$4,000 bushels of oats from $50 acres,
an average OF 63 bushels per acre for q
large acreage.
w. r. Ltotherwell, Of Abernethy,
threshed $3.50 bushels Of wheat from
a 50-acre field. an average of So BUSH
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T..
Hutchings threshed 728 bushels of
wheat from a ten-acre plot, al average
of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
s. Norman threshed G. $50 bushels of
oats from 60 acres OF land, an average
Of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication Of the actual yields
or grain threshed will likely open the
eyes of the people to the great capabil-
tiles of the Western Canadian prairies.
