JAMES McGRATH MURDERED.
A Burlington Policeman Shot Last
Nioht by Unknown Man.

James McGrath, night policeman
and watchman on the lake front at
Burlington, was shot and fatally
wounded last evening at 1920 o'clock
at the corner of Main and Battery
streets. while on duty. McGrath was
at once taken to his home, but died
on the way.
Joachim Labarge saw the murder
from a window in his house. He de-
scribes it as follows: McGrath and
stranger walked up from the lumber
yard talking together. opposite La
barge's house they stopped and faced
one another and the stranger pulled a
revolver from his pocket and fired
two shots at the officer. After going
about ten feet away the man fired
third shot and then ran toward the
lumber yard. taking one last shot,
which is believed to have missed. Nc
Grath staggered and tried to walk
away. but fell without making a
sound. A large crowd soon assem-
bled and the ambulance and doc
tor came at once, but nothing could
be done for the wounded man. The
entire police force was on the ground
promptly. but failed to find the Grim
inal.
The murderer is described by La
barge as a man weighing about l45
pounds. with a dark moustache, and
dressed in dark clothes. II is sus-
pected that he may be a deserter
from Fort Ethan Allen, as McGrath
arrested two men supposed TO be de-
serters about l o'clock yesterday
morning and they say that one man
who was with them, whose name
they do not know, escaped at that
time.

SLATON'S REMAINS
 FOUND IN WOODS
LEFT HOME SEVERAL DAYS AGO SAYING HE WAS GOING TO KILL HIMSELF WITH A GUN-BoDY EATEN BY HOGS.

Valley Head, January 11.-(Special)- The remains of the farmer Doe" Slaton, who in a fit of mental hallucinaton some four weeks ago, left home. declaring that he was going away to kill himself, were found in the woods on the brow of the mountain, yesterday morning about day light by a pedestrian who was making his way through the woods down into the valley.
 Slaton had never been seen nor heard of since the morning he left home, al- though the woods had been repeatedly secured for miles in every direction by searching parties of his neighbors.
 When found the body was horribly mu- tilated by hogs, and there was but little left save the skeleton. There was evidence of a bullet hole through the skull. The coat and overcoat were on the ground some little distance from the body. The pistol with all the chambers empty ex- cept one, was lying on the ground not far from the body. The inference is that Slaton carried out his threat and shot himself.
 William Small. Jr, and his charming wife, from Shamrock. Texas, who have been visiting relatives here, returned home last week. He reports his section of country as being in highly prosperous condition.

BID FOR PHILIPPINE BONDS.
Highest Bid for Friar Lands Securities
 Was $7,o0o,o00.

Washington, January 11.-Bids for the Philippine friar lands bonds were opened at the state department today. The high est bid for the purchase of the entire is- sue of $7000,O00 was from Harvey Fisk & Sons. associated with Fisk & Robin son, and the National City bank of New York. Their figures were for all of the bonds. There were eighty bidders in all.
 The greater part of the eighty proposals were from individuals who offered to take anywhere from 5000 to $5O,000 of the total loan. Some of the bids were from the south and some from New England. but none from west of Omaha. Many of the bids for the smaller lots were much higher than the Fisk & Son proposal
 It is expected that the difficult task of scheduling the various bids, with view to ascertaining the best terms offered, can be completed and the result announced tomorrow. The impression in the insular bureau is that the Harvey Fisk & Son bid of 107.77 offers the best rate, consid- ering that the firm offers to take all the bonds at that figure.
 This figure is undoubtedly lower than the bonds at first were expected to bring. However, it is stated that the figures realized today was in excess of the esti- mates of some of the Wall street finan- cip

COTTON COMING IN.
cuIIman Railroad Receipts 1000 Bales
 Ahead of Last Year.

Cullman, January Il. = Especially - Though the cotton crop in this section was reported short this season. and doubtless Is short in comparison with the acreage planted it is noted that the receipts at the railroad station here foot up 10,s04 bales against 9161 at the same time last year. This is partly explained by the high price of the staple, which has brought 1t to market rapidly, and careful investiga- tion shows but little cotton remaining in the country. Already there is a prospect for a large acreage to be planted this year, as indicated by the sales of fer tilizers
 J. w. Sparks of the firm of Sparks & Chance, one of the largest mercantile firms here. has bought out the interest of his partner. M. s. Chance. and will con- tinue the business under the name of J. W. Sparks.
