LONG SEARCH ENDS
MISSISSIPPI RIVER GIVES UP ITS
DEAD AFTER SEVERAL
MONTHS.

Quincy, Ill., June %. = With the re-
covery of the body of David Paul
Stice from the river Sunday a search
that has been continued since before
Christmas came to an end.
David Stice was a Keokuk boy aged
9 years. On December 81 he was
drowned along with his brother, Will
liam Orville Stice aged II years. There
was some mystery connected with the
double drowning and a boy named Ar
thur Humphrey, aged IA years, was
suspected of having showed William in,
to the river and that little David was
drowned while trying to save him. 1t
was known that Humphrey had threat.
ened to kill Willie and after the
drowning he claimed not to have been
with the Stice boys the day they met
their death This was proved untrue
and it was also proved that he had as
saulted Willie the day of the drown.
ing. But he maintained his innocence
of responsibility for the deaths of the
two boys and as there was no evidence
upon which he could be convicted he
was not prosecuted. The fact of the
matter appears to be that the younger
boy lost his life in making an heroic
effort to save his brother and was
dragged to his death by the latter.
Four weeks ago Sunday at II a. m.
the body of Willie was recovered from
the river in front of Canton. Sunday
the body of brave little David was re
covered from the river five miles NORTH
of Quincy.

President Hadley, after reviewing

eff wealth and dominion follow as
a result of faith and enthusiasm, they
are good But if wealth and domin

"And it is an unfortunate fact thai

DID LARUE SUICIDE?
THIS QUESTION is BEING ASKED
BY CORNING PEOPLE
Ss~ NOW.

Des Moines, June %. - Did Frank
l.. LaRue, the alleged defaulting presi-
dent of the First National bank at
Corning, who swindled the customers
of the institution to the extent of
100000, commit suicide as was re-
ported by his relatives or is he still
alive and in possession of the major
portion of the funds he embezzled?
There are people who firmly be-
lieve that the LaRue suicide was a
job" said a Corning man in this city.
"They cite some pretty suspicious cir
cumstances and some good arguments
to uphold their theories, and the CUES.
ton Is receiving such general support
that the body may he exhumed in or.
der to satisfy those who have raised
the question.
Casket Was Sealed.
"In the first place, Mrs LaRue, her
son, her father, Mr.. Beymer, DR.. Bry-
ant and an undertaken, are the only
persons who lay claim to having seen
the body of the alleged suicide. A
metallic casket was sealed about the
body Immediately following the sup
posed suicide, providing there was a
body at all. The casket was of such
weight in itself that the pall-bearers
could not determine whether or not a
man was in it.
What Became of Money.
"Still another strong suspicion
arises when efforts are made to find
where LaRue disposed of his alleged
lstealings. The expenditure of the
large sums he stole cannot be &C
counted for by many thousands. Re-
garding this they say he may have
sailed a large part of this money,
which, with the $4,000 insurance his
wife will receive, void make good
sum.
"To back up this suspicion, they
point to the fact that LaRue's insur-
ance was so arranged that it would
come to his family in case OF suicide
"a, strong argument is based upon
the fact that though LaRue was re-
ported to be in an extremely danger
GUS condition, there was 10 one in
the house at the time he committed
suicide"

Hotel Register From Davenport Shows
His Signature.
Omaha, Neb, June, %. = The Den
nison case was resumed in the district
court yesterday. A surprise was
sprung when the prosecution produc-
ed the register of the Kimball hotel
at Davenport, Iowa, with Dennison's
name under date of November 8, 1892.
The matter has not yet been receiv-
ed in evidence but if it is 1t will es-
tablish the fact that Dennison was in
Iowa during the time the local police
claimed to have Swallowed him contin,
iuously for two weeks when they said
he never left the city. The information
Is generally conceded to be a fatal
blow to Dennison's alibi if it is admit
ted. The state claims that Dennison
dug up the Pollock diamonds on No
vember 8. Dennison when shown the
signature would only say:
IF that is in 1892 it is not my sig
nature"
w. A. Pinllerton's deposition was
read in court. Pinkerton stated he
did not order Denison Swallowed until
November 1S. which also tends to re
flute the policemans alibi.
