AT Burns Suicides,

A telegram from Mens, received Sun.
day afternoon by Jno. O'Ksne, An
nounced the finding Of the dead body In
the public park there OF Alvin Burns Of
this city. This announcement, while
startling new to most Of Mr.. Burns
scquaintances, WAS what had been ex-
pected by his relatives and former EN-.
ployer here
Mr.. Burns, who had for number Of
years been in the employ of N F.
Cornelius, last Saturday evening drew
IS and Sunday morning left for Fort
smith Tuesday morning letter
was received from Sallisaw by Ben
Cornelius, wherein he stated where he
had placed the store key and that he
had spent the previous day In Fort
Smith, visiting his wife grave In the
cemetery there. He intimated that he
intended ending his life and closed the
letter by saying that he had the stuff
to do 1t with in his pocket. The next
heard from him was letters received by
both Ben Cornelius and Jno. O'Kane
on the 10Th, dated Mena, Ark Nov
18TH saying that he intended taking his
life in the public park at that place that
evening, and everything indicates that
he carried ont his threat then, but that
the body was not found before Sunday
because Of the cold weather which pre-
vailed during the week
AS soon rs Mr., Kane received the
letter. which WAS written on the station
cry OF Carey & Son Of that place he
wired Mr.. Carey to hunt Burns up and
disusde him from doing anything rash
Mr., Carey not having seen Bnrns around
did not take the trouble to hunt for him
and wired back that he thought it WAS
all Il bluff - But Burns WAS not the
kind Of man to be "bluffing that way
and his relatives did not feel satisfied
though hoping Mr.. Carey WAS right,
As soon as Mr.. O'Kane heard Of the
finding Of the body he went to Men, to
claim 1t and brought it back to Fort
Smith, where it was buried in accord
ance with the rites of the Catholic
church Tuesday morning by the side Of
his wife who died some six years since.
AS to the cause for the deed he left
no word Of any kind, though it is gener.
ally supposed financial troubles were at
the bottom He had been treasurer #
"A lodge and his accounts were some
thirty or forty dollars short. for this
one of the members tried TO have him
brought before the grand jury. He WAS
otherwise In debt for small amounts
around town, though his standing
among our people WAS such that he
could have easily raised the amount he
owed the lodge. Ben Cornelius stated
that on Saturday he WAS unusually
, cheerful and attentive and that night
stated he would sleep in the store and
asked Ben to sleep there also The
latter however, concluded not to dc
this and now supposes that thereby he
failed to learn Of the trouble that drove
Burns to suicide.
Burns leaves two children and IN his
letter stated that but for them that day
tine day of the deed w ould be the
happiest Of his life

FOrger Fremont Makes a
 Break for Liberty.

The soldier Fremont, who has been held in the United States jail awaiting the action of the next grand jury on a charge of forgery, made a break for liberty last evensng at about 5;So, and though he did not have more than five minutes start of Jailer Burns, he had not been apprehended at 3 o'clock this morning.
 Jailer Burns had let Fremont, with the other three prisoners, as was his custom, into the back yard for a few minutes, and was watching them from the back door of the courthouse. For q minute his attention was attracted to something else, and the absence of Ere mont was noticed. It took Mir. Burns but two or three minutes to lock the other prisoners up and start in pursuit of the missing man. .. ,.t
 Acting upon the belief that the man would try to get over the line into Brit ish Columbia, Mir. Burns took Q horse and went up the road toward White Pass, No one engaged along the road had seen the man.
 Every avenue of escape is being watched, and 1t is not believed that the fugitive can get out of the town When he left the jail he had neither hat nor coat on. He had a soldiers trousers on.
 Fremont is the man who is charged with passing a forged check of on Tony Dortero.
