A most interesting archaeological discov-

Toensberg in Norway. The ship, which has
evidently belonged to great sea king. Is
pestries, carved sleigh. implements Of
work and a superbly ornamented four
wheeled carriage. The tapestries are par

THAT KENT LOOMS WILL BE

.s PLAY IDEA is STILL
REJECTED

PARIS. June 3O.-OHcials interest
ed in the search for F. Kent LOOMS,
say that they have practically aband-
oned hope that he will be found alive.
Heretofore they have relied on the
statement of Gustave Flamm, of San
Francisco, that he saw Loomis leave
the steamer at Plymouth, but they
are now inclined to the belief that
Flamm may have been mistaken.
However, Mr.. F1amm positively reit-
Grated to-day that he was not mis-
taken.
mo matter what theories are ad-
vanced,'' he said, 81 am absolutely GER
tain that 1 saw him get off the steam
er. Consequently theories cannot be
based upon the assumption that he
was lost before reaching port.
The idea of foul play continues to
be rejected. While inquiries disclose
some circumstances slightly inconsis-
tent they Go not warrant such officials
in suspecting violence.

Wife Of a prominent farmer residing
in that community, was shot and kill

something to eat.
From the most reliable information
obtainable tonight it appears that
the tramp had come, to the residence
after the men had gone to their work
and asked for food. Being offered
cold victuals5 he refused them and de-
manded that she cook breakfast for
him. This She refused to do and he.
rushed into the house and grabbing,

For The past few days it has been

not consider the increase in value to;
their property because the line runs
through it, but merely want to bleed
the company's treasury all they posi-

wants Sl,100 for the right of way
through his property, distance Of
about one-third of mile. He paid
SEQ per acre for the land and says he 4
expects it to be worth $500 per acre

this man wants that exorbitant sum.
Others ask prices almost as unreas-

the undertaking, that is the way to- do
it. The property owners viii make
a great deal more by giving the right
