DYING MURDERER CAUGHT.
If Pneumonia Doesn't Kill Him He
 Will Re Hanged

If Pneumonia Doesn't Kill Him He
 Will Be Hanged.
 ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 11.-Facing death from pneumonia and death by the gallows, Mark Dunn, murderer of Alfred Fenton at Nashville, Mo-, was landed in jail here after a capture al most as sensational as his escape from behind the bars here last Monday. He is in dying condition, but unless his demise intervenes Dunn will be hang ed in the jail yard here. Dunn's cap ture took place at Guilford Mo-, where, after an exciting race, he had taken refuge in hotel, too weak to offer resistance.
 Shortly after Dunn's escape from the jail here Monday he was taken ill and was obliged to ask shelter at the home of a farmer in Rosedale. A farm hand who. was present suspected that the fugitive was Dunn. A telegram was sent to Sheriff Spencer at St. Joseph, but Mike Estes, a brotherin-law of Dunn, to whose house Dunn had in the meantime been removed, feared that his identity might become known and put the sick man in buggy. Deathly ill, he started on a wild drive across the country, but by the time Guilford was reached he dismissed his driver and team and said he could go no far ther. The murderer went to a hotel and was there found in dying condi- tion when the sheriff and his deputies arrived. ~ .s, -.%.. ..5. .>.".n:

MOB VIOLENCE LIKE HIDDEN FIRE
Eroops WilA Not Ne Withdrawn, aa Signs Appear That Ugly Feelings Still Ex1st-Whftes and Ne
 gr0es Armed and Ready.

SPRINGFIELD, O., March 1.-The race disturbances which have terror ized this town for the last three days as the result of the murder of Patrol man Coliis and the subsequent lynch ing of the negro Dixon, who shot Col lis, is held well in check by the thir- teen companies of state militia, and the authorities are now of the opinion that no more troops will be needed to control the situation.
 Both Chief Of Police O'Brien and Sheriff Routzahn believe, however, that it would be mistake to material ly decrease the number of troops now on hand. There are unmistakable signs that there is an ugly feeling on the part of the men and the boys who have composed the mobs of the last three days, and the authorities realize that the shooting of either white man or negro Sr even street fight between men of opposite races would be sufficient to start the mob again on killing and burning expedition.
 The burning of portion of the levee and the vacating of several other ne gro saloons and lodging houses by their Droprietors has only partially satisfied the mob, which was thwarted by the military in it's attempt to burn the "Flickers' Nest," row of buildings formerly occupied by about fifty fam flies, but now completely deserted. The police have arrested negro claim ing Cincinnati as his home and giving Y W. Smith as his name He was ac- companied by several strange negroes, and wherever they could gain an au- dience of one or more negroes on the street they read highly infammatory typewritten paper urging the negroes to avenge the. .lynching of Dixon and to apply the torch to the white business and residence districts in retaliation for the burning of the negro quarters on the levee.

 WILKESBARRE, Pa, March H. Investigation shows that the Pennsyl vania, Lehigh Valley and Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroads arc badly damaged along the line of tht river and that it will be several days before traffic can be resumed. The road beds are washed out in many places and bridges are torn and twisted by the masses of ice. The total damage in all towns between Pittston and Sun bury is estimated at $6,5OO,OOO.
 The up river gorges in the Susque hanna at Sudbury broke last night ano are now passing down the river with out causing much damage. The only serious damage to Sunbury and vicini ty was the destruction of the North umberland bridge
 Three thousand men have been talk en from Enola and other points along the Pennsylvania railroad where i'm provements are being made to clear the obstructed tracks on the Columbia division.
 The gorged ice piled on the tracks near Harrisburg has reached height of twenty feet at many points between Shocks Mills and Collins. Between Chickies and Falmouth there are points where the ice is over the tracks for a depth of ten feet. This ice during the past two or three days has frozen into a comparatively solid mass, and it will require several days to put the tracks in normal condition

 NEW YORK, March 11.--Within if ty feet of the spot where he was born half century ago Abraham Newman, a money lender and diamond dealer, who had amassed fortune from trans actions with citizens of the east side, was found dead in the room where for years he had done business, on the second floor of the building at 26O Bowery. Robbery had been commit ted, but whether or not it followed murder is question which the police have yet to solve. There were no marks of violence on the body and no signs of struggle in the place. New man had died in his armchair, and his face was as placid as though he had passed away in a pleasant dream.

ESCAPED RUSSIAN CRUISER.

British Captain Tells of the Japa-
 nese Warships' Voyage Home.
 VICTORIA, B. C., March 1.-The Northern Pacific liner Olympia has ar rived from Yokohama, with Captain Hill, who brought the Japanese cruis- CT Nisshin from Genoa to Yokohama, on board. He gives most interesting account of the trip, which includes q race with the Russian cruiser Aurora in the Red sea and the escape Of the Nisshin and Kasuga from possible cap- ture by the Russian squadron.
 Captain Hill says that when tke two Japanese cruisers got through the Suez canal they were closely followed by the Russian squadron, which was evi- dently trying hard to keep in close touch with them. The Aurora. which enjoys the reputation of being one of the fastest vessels afioat attempted to overhaul the two cruisers, which, how ever, put on more steam and ran away from her with the greatest ease. From the firing up done on the Aurora it was evident that she meant business.
 Captain Hill had a long conversation with the Japanese admirals when in Japan shortly before leaving, and they told him that the main object of the Japanese operations at present was Port Arthur. They were to captuEe that place at any cost and were con- f1dent of their ability to do so. No eff fort, the Japanese naval minister as- sured Captain Hill would be spared to reduce Port Arthur as quickly as pos sible. It would then be refortified by Ihe Japanese, who would remain there instead of following the Russians into the wilds of northern Manchuria or Siberia. The intention also is to re- duce Vladivostok as soon as possible.
 In reply to the question as to wheth- CT the superb gunnery of the Japanese warships was due to the presence of British or American gunners aboard. Captain Hill said most emphatic.
 that not white man is employed or any Japanese warship in any capacit.. whatsoever. From the bridge to tn
 stokers every man is Japanese.

be held responsible TOT the burning or the levee district by the mob. It is an admitted fact that. while the public sentiment is against the means em- ployed to put the negro out of the way, there is universal rejoicing that he is dead, and it is realized that it will be extremely difficult to secure a jury that will assess more than nomi- nal damages, if any at all. While a special grand jury will sit Monday to investigate the lynching, it is thought that it will be impossible to indict ei- ther the leaders of the mob which did the lynching nor the subsequent burn ing

sIt Is the Will of the Lord That You
 Vote Republican Ticket"

WASHINGTON, March 11-One of the most interesting and important features of the investigation of the Senator Reed Shoot case before the senate committee on privileges and elections !&as brought out in the testi- mony of B. B. Critchlow, formerly an assistant United States attorney in Utah, who told the story of the Moses Thatcher episode. According to his version, which was borne out by off, cial records. Apostle Thatcher persist ed in continuing as a candidate for the United States senate against the wishes of quorum of the apostles and on that account was held to be mot in harmony with his quorum" The his tory of the campaign he made against the wishes of his fellow Mormons, of his defeat and his subsequent trial be- fore commission of church officials was given in detail, and then Thatch- er's submission to the will of the church was read and put in the record of the Shoot investigation. This re- cantation showed Thatcher totally bro ken in spirit and lowing absolutely to the mandates of the church in that the consent of an officers quorum must be obtained in order that he may con tinue in good standing.
 The purpose of the testimony was to show that it was necessary, accord ing to the rules of the church, for Reed Shoot to have obtained the consent of the church before he could have be- come a candidate for the senate
 In addition to the Thatcher episode MT. Critchlow gave the history of che prosecutions in Utah of charges of pOlygamous cohabita tion since the pas sage of the Edmunds law and the leg islation in the territory and state which affects Mormonism or polyga- my. His story was concise and enter little.
 In response to an inquiry in regard to MT. Thatcher running for the sen ate on platform not in harmony with the church, MT. Critchlow spoke of the influence of apostles, giving as an illus traitor that the apostles gave out the instruction that lit is the will of the Lord that you vote the Republican , ticket this time''
 MT. Critchlow said the Democrats protested against the interference by the church in such manner

alarmed and boarded Greenfield car for
this city. But the little life went out be-
fore anyone really knew IT,

that they reached some place where assist
ance could be obtained and brought them
TO the police station. The dead baby was
taken TO the morgue and Coroner Tute-

food for them.
The Andersons lived at All Bowies ave-
nue. In Terre Haute and were moving back
