MURDER is THE CHARGE
Son of Wealthy and Prominent Resident
,s of Peoria, ILL.,, Under Arrest Charged
With Murder. y

Her lip was severed, both eyes black
ened, one shoulder displaced and her
back was covered with bruises, evil
IDENTIFY inflicted with boot or heavy
instrument. Young Higgins claims the
woman attacked him and that he sim
ply knocked her over chair. He is
twenty-six years old and his sister is
twenty-seven years of age.
The connection of the late Detective
William E. Murphy, who was muir
dered under such sensational circum-
stances in this city last June, proved
a startling development of the case
during the afternoon. 1t is alleged
that on the night he was killed that
Murphy was shadowing John H. Hig-
gins at the instance of the members
of the family. He was called from
this duty to Investigate a burglary on
Second street. At o'clock that night
he was killed. Either that night or the
following one Richard Higgins says
that Mrs. Thomson called up the
house by telephone and said:
Murphy was good friend of yours.
Well, he got his tonight. Kierans "a
fellow detective of Murphy is your
friend, too He will get his next
Higgins says that his family had
made frequent efforts to break up the
attachment between his father and
Mrs. Thomason and had offered her
large sums of money but she had al
ways refused. He declares that she
frequently called up the residence by
telephone and tainted them upon their
failure to break off their relations.
The elder Higgins is chairman of
the committee on education of the
county board and is a man of wealth.

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 22.-Mrs. Nellie
Thomason, wife of a former prominent
real estate dealer of this city, died at
Lacon ais the result of injuries received
in sensational encounter with Rich
ard and Jennie Higgins, children Of
John G.. Higgins, q prominent member
OF the board of supervisors of Peoria
county and prominent in Republican
politics. The Higgins children inter-
cepted q letter written to Higgins, ST.,
by Mrs. Thomson, in which she asked
him to meet her in the depot Of the
Rock Island in this city. Higgins was
at St. Louis and his son opened the
letter. The missive asked Higgins to
be in the waitingroom. When she ar
rived she was confronted by young
Higgins and his sister. What took
place is mystery, as only the three
and an uncle of Higgins were present.
Some time later, however, the woman
asked G. A. Brant, the ticket agent, to
assist her to the train. He did so and
when she was gone discovered the
floor of the waitingroom covered with
blood. The woman fingered in great

Higgins is under arrest on state
warrant charging him with murder.
The case has created a sensation by
reason of the prominence of the par
ties concerned.

two at times. During her last hours
she vomited much blood. Her body

ENGLAND REFUSES REQUEST.
Germany Asks Permission to Land
Troops at Walfish Bay.

Germany Asks Permission to Land
Troops at WaIfish Bay.
Berlin, Oct. 22.-The government
has asked Great Britain to permit
Germany to use Walfish bay for the
landing Of troops and supplies essen
tial in the war against the natives Of
German Southwest Africa. The Brit
ish government has refused positively
to grant the request. Walfish bay is
the only good harbor for thousand
miles along that coast. It lies in that
portion of the shore held by Great
Britain near Swakopmund, the port Of
entry to German Southwest Africa.
Great Britain's refusal to allow
troops to land in Walfish bay will, it
is asserted, interfere seriously with
Germany's military plans in South
west Africa.
Cable dispatches nearly every day
bring news of some small German re-
verses in Southwest Africa. News
was telegraphed during the night that
the German station at Nomtsas had
been captured by the Hottentots. Vet
Urinary Surgeon Oskar Albrecht and a
planter named Hermann were among
the killed.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 22.-The two
armies face each other across the
ShaKhe river; but operations continue
at standstill. The heavy fog which
hung over the plain has been burned
up by the sun and there has been some
desultory artillery firing from some OF
the Russian batteries, but nothing i'm.

the understanding eye than would a
chapter of written narration.
Many Indians have contributed to
the history that appears on the back
of the robe. Grass enumerated num-
Der of them in his address to the presi-
dent. Prominent among them are
Flying BY, one of best known Sioux
chieftains in the massacre; Hawk Bear
is another chieftain who has contrib
uted his share to the history; Lone
Man has narrated some of the deeds
with which he was most familiar; and
legendary lore has been called upon
to furnish some pictures descriptive
of the deeds of Pretty Bear, perhaps
as prominent as any chieftain in that
engagement, and who died from
wounds received on the field.
There is apparently a consecutive,
cavalrymen in the battle, and in nearly
every instance they appear to be sur
rounded by overwhelming numbers of
Sioux riders. The advance and re-
treat Of the cavalrymen is pictured,
together with individual deeds of
proves that have been stored in the
memories of the chieftains to be thus
graphically recounted. The president
will have an Indian relic that will be
priceless in value because of it's as
sociations, and unapproached for his
toric significance by any Indian docu-
ment ever put forth.
In his address Grass set forth the
Indians appreciation Of the consistent
friendship of the Great Father, and
expressed the hope that he would be
reelected to the presidency. The In
dams greatly appreciated a visit from
the president two years ago, at which
time they met him with a delegation
and presented written addresses con-
veying their friendship and good will.
They have taken a lively interest in
the present campaign, as is indicated
by their action in making the presenta-
ton of the historic robe.

PRESIDENT GETS
A HISTORIC ROBE
Sioux Indian Chieftains Present President
Roosevelt With Buffalo Robe, Contain
ing Picture History of Sioux Massacre.

Representing Sioux Indian chieftains
and are now on the Standing Rock
Indian agency, and indicative of
their good will for President Roosevelt
and their interest in his campaign,
John Grass. chief justice of the Sioux
tribe at Standing Rock today brought
to Bismarck and forwarded to the
president an immense buffalo robe, on
the back of which appears in Indian
picture writing the narration of his
toric deeds done in the Custer massa-
ere. 1t is the only time and the first
time that the Indian chieftans have
permitted their variations of that
melancholy affair to be done in pic
ture writing to go outside the archives
Of their tribe, and the fact that they
have made the president the first
recipient of an Indian history is indica-
tive of their friendship for the Great
Father.
Accompanying the robe was an ad-
dress from Grass. bearing testimony
of the good will of other noted chief
tains, and explaining the significance
of the pictures on the robe, which
were done by an Indian artist from
the variations of other chiefs. The
robe is an immense one, and it's tan
ned surface is covered with legendary
history in pictures. The greater num-
Der of the figures are horsemen, some
wearing the uniform of the unfortu-
nate cavalrymen who were slain at the
time of the massacre, and others
adorned with the gay trappings,
feathers and war equipment of the
Indian chiefs. There are some pros
trate figures, both of Indians and
cavalrymen, slain in the course of the
battle. In his address to the president,
Grass explained that these designs
narrate the history of daring deeds,
the instances of which have been re-
counted by the chiefs who were con-
cerned. In some instances, a single
drawing conveys more knowledge to

minority to no purpose.
Thursday evening at o'clock the
jury again emerged and informed
Judge Harrison that the outlook for an
agreement was hopeless and that a

ed. The date of the meeting was left
open because it is stated that any one
of the powers has as much right to
suggest date as the United States.
Consequently there must be consider
able correspondence on this subject
before an agreement is reached. 1t is
not expected that the conference will
meet during the continuance of the

learned that any consideration has yet
been given to the personnel of the

Berlin, Oct 22.-Colonel Gaedke,
war correspondent of the Tageblatt,
has telegraphed to hisspaper from Muk-
den as follows: Fl
"Have been unable to telegraph for
two days owing to" the absence of the
censor. Both armies are much "a
tigued. They occupy positions in close
contact. Only an occasional shot
breaks the stiffness. A general Rus
sian attack appeared to have been
planned for the night Of Oct 20, but a
freshet in the Shakhe river prevented
1t. Dhe roads and fields are drying
slowly. The Russian losses were fright
full. Single regiments have as few as
800 men left. The Viborg regiment, of
which Emperor William is honorary
colonel, had 20 officers and 300 men
killed. The feeling is accordingly
grave. No end is visible of the CHASTITY
slaughter"
"No skill in leadership can bring
victory in the present struggle. but
only the f1rmer will of the commander
and his troops. The wounds are much
more dangerous now than formerly.
This is partly due to the use of the
old style Japanese rifles, with their
flattened, copper covered bullets, and
partly to the, thicker clothing of the
soldiers. I have private news from
Port Arthur that there is abundant am.
munition for two months and provi
sions for much longer period. No.
body in the fortress thinks it can ever
fall The Chinese report barbarous
cruelties on the part of the Japanese
The mere possession of Russian money
