Constantlnople. Aug. %. 1t now
transpires that the report that Vice

grets for the outrage and ordered meas
ures for the arrest OF the perpetrator.
The error in stating that Vice Consul
Magelssen had been killed arose from
q mistake in a cipher telegram.

Rockwell, March 2S.-Rockwel Is ex-
periencing a decided sarsation in the
Miss Zeil Smith and Guy Davis. Miss
Smith is an unusually prepossessing
young lady not quite Is years of age.
and has been attending the public
school here this winter and rooming In
the second floor of the Mallory block.
She is an only daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaiah Smith, well-to-do people living
six miles northeast of Rockwell. and
who, 1t seems, objected to thu. atten-
tons OF young Davis The young couple
boarded the $50 train, north Wednes-
day evening and nothing has been seen
or heard of them since. The continued
absence of Miss Smith from school
aroused suspicion and yesterday noon
friends broke into her room and discov-
cred note addressed to her parents
telling them of the step she was about
to take and begging forgiveness for the
sorrow and heartache she would cause
them. The young lady's father was inn
mediately notified, but he is completely
at sea as to her whereabouts. MIR. Da-
Wis is son of respected parents living
in the country short distance from
town.
Professor Mahannah is grieved at the
occurrence, as Miss Smith was one of
the brightest pupils in the whole
school. People generally regard the
affair as unfortunate and regret that
the young people had not acted with
less rashness.

Waverly, March 2S.-There has been
q surplus of sensation in Waverly dur
ing yesterday and today brought about
primarily by Sheriff PARROT. Three
prisoners are now in the sheriff's Gus
tody as a result and two sheriffs are
expected here tomorrow to claim their
men.
The men are known as Jim Marshall,
wanted in Polk county for horse steal
ing, and Dan Allen, alias Dan Beard
and Will Way, wanted in Nebraska for
Jail breaking and other more serious
offences.
Jim Marshall has been unfortunate
during the present week. Some time,
about Friday of last week, he got mix
ed up with a horse, buggy and harness
in Des Moines. On Wednesday of this
week he managed to make Waverly
with the outfit, roads to the contrary
Notwithstanding. In the meantime
postal card from the Polk county sher-
if had come into Sheriff PARROTS
hands, describing stolen horse, buggy
and harness. Marshall put up with MIR.
Byram, living near Waverly, and in or
der to get some ready money, of which
he was much in need, traded his har-
ness for a saddle and $500 boot money.
Then he carried the harness up town
and sold it at a livery for $500. He
also offered his horse for, sale. Mr..
Byram, becoming suspicious, sent a
messenger to interview Marshall, who
by this time was enjoying his $500 to
it's fullest available extent. In some
way Sheriff Parrott heard about Mar
shall, and securing description of the
horse, found that it corresponded with
the description of the missing Polk
county horse. Marshall was arrested,
as a result of the sheriff's investiga-
lions.
Since being taken IN custody, he has
confessed the whole transaction to
Sheriff Parrot, and the Polk county
authorities will probably have an easy
time with their man.
Sheriff PARROT had had Allen and
Way under surveillance for week Way
being on visit to his mother living
near Waverly. They We're under quar-
antine for scarlet fever and the quaran-
tine expiring today arrest was made
of the parties. Marshal VanNors trand
was .Slking Allen to Jail and when
they were on the porch leading to the
Jail Allen leaped over the porch rail
and to the ground, a distance of twelve
feet The marshal fired four shots at
the fleeing man, but did not hit him.
Allen succeeded in reaching the out
skirts of the town, when Irving PARROT,
deputy sheriff, overlook him and with
the assistance of a passerby, succeeded
IN again taking him in custody. Allen
attempted to use hammer on his cap
tors, but was disarmed. The Nebraska
sheriff is expected here at once with
mis- requisition papers.

10000 ACRES OF TIMBER.
Iowa Capitalists Complete Big Lane
Deal in the West.

Deal IN the west.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, March 2S.-William Mus
of this city. who is at present in WASH
ing.on state, and William Dreary, an
other Iowa capitalist, have just closed
a big deal in Washington whereby they
became the owners of tract of 10000
acres of timber land. The following
account of the transaction comes from
Palouse, Washington:
1T has been made public that the
Palouse River Lumber Company has
sold Its plant located here. and its
large holdings on the upper Palouse
to William Deary and William Musser,
iowa capitalists, who are largely inter-
ested in the lumber business in the
western and the middle states, and are
supposed to be connected with the
Weyerhaeuser syndicate. The price
paid for the holding, which consist of
10000 acres of timber land, on the upper
Palouse, together with the plant, is
said to be 100000.
THE deal also covers all the logs and
stock on hand, logging outfit and re-
tail yards at Palouse, Pullman and
Uniontown II is estimated that the
2U,UUU acres VIII ylelu IuU,UuU,VUU lSel
of saw timber, chiefly western white
rire.
THE purchasers and allied interests
also own 100000 acres of timber lands
adjacent to these new holdings, and on
the. head waters of the Potaltch and in
Elm Greek basin. 1t is thought here
that they contemplate the building OF
fifty or sixty miles of logging railroad
This would enable them to deliver all
the timber on their 10000 acres into the
Palouse river. The timber on the $780,
900 is chiefly Idaho white pine.
The purchasers recently acquired the
plant of the McClain Lumber Com
pany in Spokane, and are closely con-
nected with the eastern trade.
There is considerable excitement
here over the dead, and it is thought the
large holdings of the purchasers in the
timbered country east of here and in
the white pine belt, much of which Is
owned by the Weyerheausers or bran.
ches of the great syndicate, is easier OF
access from here than from any other
point.

i've of the manner in which he lost ms
life. but the natural conclusion is ne
was struck by train and hurled vlo-
lently to the side of the track where
he was found.
A very meagre message was received
in Muscatine this morning stating
man had been found dead along side
the tracks of the Rock Island system
a short distance east of Fairfield pu'
nothing was learned of the details OF
how the unfortunate man met ms
DEATH 1t seems the tragedy is shroud-
ed in mystery and one of many Things
may have taken the mans life, pu'
the position in which he was found
so near the tracks, would lead one u
believe he had been struck by train
Nothing is known as to the time the
death occurred. so if struck by an en-
CINE. it must have been without the
engineers knowledge.
