GEORGE L. WATSON DEAD.
Away at His Home in Glas-
gov, Scotland.

Glasgow, Nov. 14.-George Lennox
Watson, the yacht designer, who has
for some time past been i'll, died at his
residence in this city Saturday morn
ing, of heart failure. His condition
was reported to be better Friday, but
in the night he suffered relapse and
passed away. He was born in 1851.
Gen. Lennox Watson was So years
old, having been born in 1851 in Scot
land. He was the most noted yacht
designer of the last half century. In
1875 he made hit with a five-tonner,
which beat easily the best boat on the
Clyde Watson in 1887 designed the
Thistle, which came across the Allan
tic and made an unsuccessful attempt
to bear away the Americas cup. He
also designed the Valkyrie and Sir
Thomas Lipton's Shamrock 1. and
Shamrock II. Talking over the Sec
ond Shamrock, Upton said to his de-
signer: "Now, Watson, have not
got money to burn, but If you are go
ing to make Shamrock II. go one Sec
ond faster you can shovel in five-pound
bank notes." In the designing of big
boats Watson had a more varied expe-
rience than Fife and the Herreshoffs.

Attack Of Heart Disease

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 14.-Col. D.
r. Anthony, the noted editor of tho
Leavenworth Times and brother of Miss

died at his home here this morning of
heart disease, aged so years. Col. An

years. He was stricken with heart

dition became alarming, but he rallied,
and within a few days resumed his la

ago he was attacked and, despite his re-
markable vitality, failed to rally after
several sinking spells.
Col. Daniel Reed Anthony, who gained

their ticket and were elected by good
safe pluralities.
The vote in Hennepin, so far as con-
gress is cocerned, was not obtainable
last night, except scattering precincts,
but it is certain that Fletcher is elected
over Kohler by safe plurality.
Dunn held his own well in the Demo-
cratic districts. but strong republican dis
tricts were carried by Johnson, two to
one, particularly in Hennepin county.
Minnesota will be represented in con-
gresS during the next two years by
solid republican delegation, the returns
received during the night indicating that
the republican candidates had been sue
cessful in every district In the state.
In three Of the districts, the fourth, sew
enth and ninth, there were no demo.
cratic candidates, and Congressman
Stevens, Volsted and Stevenson had
things all their own way.
The only district in which there was
q hot contest was the sixth, but the in
dications are that Congressman Buck
man has been reelected over Van Dyke
by a plurality in the neighborhood OF
$500.

DEATHS LAID TO ASSASSIN
FOUR MEMBERS OF FAMILY MUIR
DERED IN CALIFORNIA.
Home Is Then Set Afire to Conceal
Crime-No Clew to Slayer
or Motive.

Auburn, Cal, Nov. 14.-It is now
known that Julius Weber, his wife, their
19-year-old daughter Bertha, and their
son Paul, aged IA years, were murdered
Thursday night by an unknown assassin,
who set fire to the home in an effort to
cover his crime. Before the fire had
made any great Roadway the bodies OF
the murdered woman and her two chill
dren were rescued from the burning
house.
An examination of the bodies showed
that Mrs. Weber and the children had
been murdered before the fire had been
started. The daughter had been killed
by a pistol wound, as had been Mrs.
Weber. On the boys head were several
deep cuts. He had also been shot. All
efforts to reach Julius Weber, the father,
who was not thought to be in the burning
house, was abandoned until Friday when
a search was made in the burning tim
bers and his body was found in the bath
room of the dwelling. He, too, had been
shot down before being left to be con-
sumed by the flames.
This makes the death list as follows:
Julius Weber, aged 4S; Mrs. Julia Weber,
aged Al; Bertha Weber, aged 10, their
daughter; Paul Weber, son, a. The
body of Mr.. Weber was so badly burned
that it has been impossible to ascertain
how often he was shot.
Adolph Weber, the son, aged 20, who
is the only member of the family alive,
talks but little, but to the coroner and
sheriff he says he did not think the mo-
tive was either robbery or revenge.
When asked if he had theory he said
he had, but would not give it. He did
say, reluctantly, that his father had a
violent temper. The boy said he left
the house about $3.50 and came down
town, purchased a pair of trousers and
did several other errands When he went
to the fire he dropped his old trousers,
which were in bundle, in the burning
building. He is now at the home OF
Deputy County Treasurer John Adams.
Young Weber has good reputation.
