cell room the officer heard some one
breathe heavily. Upon looking into the

tlonless. DR.. Shekell, who resides near by,
was Immediately summoned. He respond
ed quickly, and after making a hurried ex-
amina ton announced that Carr had been
dead several moments The body was still
warm. The physician diagnosed the"cause
of the mans death as cerebral apoplexy
Among the dead mans effects was found
a hypodermic syringe, the needle Of which
was missing. and paper allowing him to
pass through the asylum gate.

points on heavy selling credited to Boston.
International stocks averaged u per cent

marked in a few of the specialties.
Heavy selling of the United States Steel
stocks on the opening bulge in prices caused
a setback of 16R an 65, respectively, for
the common and preferred. Amalgamated

below last nights final price. The liquida-
ton OF these specialtieS caused a relapse in

KILLED TWO OFFICERS.
Escaped Prisoner Made Desperate Fight
at His Ranch in Oregon

PORTLAND, Ore, October IA special
to the Oregonian from Burns, Oregon. says:
In an attempt to arrest an escaped pris-
oner named John Frost alias Harry Eg-
bert wanted in Douglas county for
burglary. John g. Saxton. a well-known
attorney of Burns, who was acting as spe
cial deputy sheriff, and Jack West,
rancher. were both killed by Egbert on
October 4.
They came up on Egbert in a ranch house
in the Wild Horse valley. 135 miles south
OF Burns. Egbert and his wife were alone
In the house at the time. 1t is supposed Egg
bert recognized Saxton and West as they
came up and opened fire from behind a
corner Of the building West received
bullet in the back from which he died. Eg-
bert then went in the house, followed by
Saxton, the woman in the meantime having
fed. Egbert had rifle and Saxton re-
volver. and with these weapons it appears
they fired at each other through a thin
board partition. Saxton was shot through
the right shoulder. but kept up the battle.
Egbert 1t Is supposed. finding the fight too
hot, fled up stairs. Saxton at this juncture
seems to have gone out in answer to a call
for water from West, for he left the house
and made two trips to a spring. AS he
turned away from West he too was shot
and mOrtally wounded. Egbert then made
his way to a ranch five miles distant where
he demanded horse at the point of a gun.
He has not been seen since. The county
officials have offered a reward Of $500 for
his capture.
