PUTNAM WAS A SUICIDE
WIFE AND SON SENT AWAY THAT
HE MIGHT Do THE DEED UN-
CHALLENGED.

Minot, N. D., Dec. 30.-Further
particulars of the Lansford tragedy,
reported yesterday, indicate that w.
G. Putnam, the banker, was not n1ur-
dered. but committed suicide after
due deliberation, cause for which cam
not be ascertained.
About 8 O'clock Monday afternoon
he requested his wife to visit a neigh
bor for a while and -his son, ls years
old, was sent to the postoffice, After
the two had left the bank building,
Putnam locked the door, but while
doing so met a farmer named Welch
who wanted wheat check cashed.
He opened the door again to admit
Welch and, upon examining the
check, told him it was payable at an
other bank and promptly dismissed
the customer, locking the door again
behind him
When his son returned from the
postoffice he found the door Of the
bank securely locked and a cloud of
smoke in the building. He unlocked
the door and went to rear room to
ascertain the cause of the smoke, and
there found his father dead with a
large bullet hole in his head, the re-
volver lying beside him.
No cause can be assigned for the
mans rash act, as his business was
flourishing and his domestic relations
most pleasant.

flee and the police department in their
case, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Deming were
reconciled in Sheriff Dregers office this

the same deputy sheriff who, while serv-
ing an attachment on some Of the Deming
lares and penates, found himself sur
rounded by a Gordon of police and patrol
wagon.
When the Demings separated, Mrs.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Pressing
public affairs caused the president to
call a special meeting of the cabinet
yesterday at this unusual season of the
year. During the illness of Secretary
Hay, Secretary Root has been desig-
mated by the president to conduct the
negotiations Of this government with
EGeneral Reyes. Secretary Root laid
before the president the details of his
interview with the Colombian minis
ter. *
/ In substance the Colombian minis
ter asks the United States government
to withdraw all support from the re-
public of Panama and leave Colombia
to deal with istllmian affairs as a SOW
ereign nation.
Colombia asks that in the event Of
rejection of it's proposition that the
United States keep hands off while
Colombia whips Panama into submis-
sion, the United States should grant
a money compensation to Colombia
for the loss Of her territory, the
amount to be fixed by The Hague
tribunal.
Flat Refusal Imperative.
The United States will fatty refuse
to submit to The Hague, or any other
IF1Oundl 5l1lo amount damages
claimed by Colombia for the loss Of
her territory thru a revolution. Such
submission would be confession Of re-
sponsibility of the United States for
the revolution, which, OF course, is not
to be entertained for a moment by this
government.
| In the light of the disclosures in the
communications between the American
minister at Bogota and Secretary Hay,
as shown by the correspondence sent
to the public printer yesterday, it will
be impossible for democrats in the
senate to cast any suspicion upon the
action Of this government in Panama.
