in the last issue OF the Pilot. Of which he

Amanda Williams, who came here recently
from Texas, shot and fatally wounded Car
roll Mix of Fayetteville, Ark. while the
latter was asleep in his room at 40 West
Ninth street early today. At the police
station later she refused to talk.
Mrs Williams and Mix were formerly
sweethearts. The woman was deserted
by her husband some time ago In Texas
town and until recently had been In
Fayetteville. Mix, it appears, came to
Kansas City few days ago to escape the
woman, who had follow him, apparently
intent on taking his life.
AS Mix lay asleep this morning Mrs. Will
liams entered his room at $3.50 o'clock, un-
known to any other occupant OF the house.
and began firing at him. The first shot
struck Mix In the nose, a second one hit
him in the cheek a third in the groin, and
a fourth grazed his left arm. The NTH

Mrs. Williams submitted TO arrest quietly.
Mix, who was taken to the hospital in a

WASHINGTON, April s-The Interstate
Commerce commission today made a num-
ber Of trunk railway lines respondents in
proceedings involving the legality of their
local rates On grain and grain products,
and in the case of two Of the roads the
class and commodity rates, and issued an
order requiring the roads to file answers
by May 1.
In the case OF the Northwestern, Burling-
ton, Great Western, Milwaukee, Wabash
and Rock Island, the commission says It
appears that these lines made large ad-
vances in rates between Missouri river
points and st. Louis other Mississippi river
points, Chicago and intermediate destina-
tions, during the last half OF 1902 on grain
and grain products originating west Of the
Missouri; that such advances operated to
increase total rates on such trafic from
points west OF the Missouri river to Chi
cago and the other points and that high
local charges between these various points
have been and are kept In force by such
carriers.
In the case Of the Katy and Frisco the
commission says it appears that these roads
put in effect class rates between st. Louis
and Texas common points considerably
higher than those in force on like traffic at
any time since the operation of the inter-
state commerce law In 1887. ,'
1t als0 appears to the commission that
many SPECTATOR commodity rates were also
increased about the same time. st
Investigations Of the legality OF these
rates is, therefore. ordered and following

arranged at which representatives Of the
various roads will be required to attend.

TEAM IS STOLEN NEAR DEWITT
Thieves Supposed to BE Same Men
who Robbed the Rock Island
Depot.

BEATRICE, Neb.. April s.-tspecisl Tel
esram.) "A team OF horses was stolen last
night from a farmer living near Dewitt.
1t is thought the theft was made by the
same men who robbed the Rock Island
depot at that place Wednesday afternoon
and after waiting until dark they made
their escape by the stealing of the team.
There is no clue.
A bold but unsuccessful attempt was
made by local toughs last night to rob a
contractor named Coombs, who lives in
Glenover, a suburb of this city. After
recognizing one Of the men he made a bold
stand by refusing to give up his money.
The young holdups weakened and disap-
peared in the darkness. No arrests have
been made.
