Mystery of the Assassination Of
Big Dan" Berry Cleared
Very TragicaIIy.
BOT PULFORD SHOOTS HIMSELF
Goes into a Stable Loft and Puts a
Bullet into His Brain.
Might Have Lived and Never Been
Punished-How Strong Alibi
Proved Wrong-Cool to
the Last.

Savanna, ILL.,. May 26.-Last Monday
morning Daniel S. Berry was assas
sinated as he was unlocking the door
of his office in the Opera House build
ing in this city. The murder was a
most cowardly one, the assassin having
hid himself in doorway opposite the
door of Berry's office and fired when
his victims back was to him, escaping
and leaving no sign of his presence
Public opinion here was fixed as to
who did the deed, and it pointed to
Boutwell, Pulford, a druggist who had
store on the first floor of the same
building. The motive, which was clear
ly revenge, ascribed by public opinion
was that Berry was too friendly with
Pulford's wife. Berry was one OF the
test-known men in the state, an eX-
member of the legislature and lead
ing lawyer, and some years ago had
by his skill and energy saved Pulford
from financial wreck.
At the coroner's inquest Pulford
was entirely exonerated. Two wit
nesses-a lady customer and his clerk,
swore positively that at the moment
the two shots were fired that killed
Berry the druggist was talking in his
store to the lady customer Two 9th
er witnesses gave contradicting testi-
mOny, but neither of these was as
close to PulfOrd as the alibi witnesses,
both being outside the store, and one
Of them on the other side of the street.
When questioned Pulford positively de-
MED any connection with the crime.
Truth Comes Out at Last.
The truth has come out in a second
tragedy-the suicide of Pulford. With
in few minutes of the time when he
was questioned as to the whereabouts
of revolver with which it was sus-
pected he had killed Berry, Pulford
shot himself and died instantly. Pull
ford went to his drug store at the u.s.
ual hour for it's opening. He found
there newspaper reporter, who
asked him if he would make a specific
statement as to what had become of a
revolver which it was known Pulford
had in his possession prior to the MUIR
der of Berry.
Shot Himself In the Temple.
PulfOrd made brief answer and left
the store, going at once to the hayloft
of the stable in the rear of the resi-
dence of W. T. Law. There he shot
himself and was dead when those who
had heard the report of the pistol
reached his side. Pulford had shot
himself in the head, the bullet entering
the temple. A daughter of Law heard
the shot and went to the stable. She
discovered Pulford's body in the loft.

MIGHT HAVE LIVED UNPUNIsHEI
Deed Practically Condoned by the Public
Stricken Wife Informed.

Deed Practically Condoned by the Public
Stricken Wife Informed.
If Pulford had lived and held his
peace, or if he had lived and had con-
fessed that he killed Berry, there is
strong feeling here that neither silence
nor confession would have resulted in
punishment. No one will say the di-
rect word that the suspicious which
the man held had foundation, but the
fact that Savanna residents were
apathetic in the matter of an investi-
CATION, which, it is believed, would
have made a disclosure as to the iden-
tity Of Berry's slayer, is significant.
In fact the crime was practically ap-
proved by the public.
The PulfOrd residence is only a short
distance from the scene of the suicide
When Mrs. Pulford heard OF the act of
her husband she was shocked into
seeming insenSibility for moment and
then she began to scream. Her cries
were heard by the neighbors, some OF
whom ran to the Pulford residence and
others to the scene of the suicide. Pull
ford did not separate from his wife
because his property was heavily mort
gagged and he believed the complica-
tons of a divorce might ruin him
financially Pulford's family had a
reputation of taking vengeance in its
own hands. Mrs. Elizabeth johnson,
his sister, threw vitriol in the face
of woman who alienated her hus-
bands affections.
Several weeks ago Bulford, when
he entered his drug store one morning,
said with show of violent feeling to
Fred Boutwell,, his clerk: 'sThey were
out all night again last night" From
that morning, it is believed, the plan
for the murder shaped itself in his
brain. It is said now that Mrs. Pull
ford was not at home Saturday night.
Berry was killed the following Mon
day. On Sunday preceding the murder
Pulford remarked to w. f. Carverry,
an employe at his electric plant: 81
have but few more days to live"
He added no explanation.
Mrs. Sam Stewart spent the night
at Pulford's home. She said he kissed
all the members an affectionate good
bye next morning. When he arose he
was dressed in new suit. Mrs. Stew
art looked him over and said, joking
ly: "Bot, you are pretty fine look
ing fellow yet" "Oh, guess I'll
pass" Pulford said, with smile. When

 Juneau

Elias Ruud thinks Juneau is one oi the best towns in the north. He says the place is booming in many ways The mining interests are further ad' vanced than ever before and houses are building all over the town. He also says the returns of the enumerators who found only 1888 people in the town are erroneous. Speaking of Juneau's newly developed mining properties, Mr. Ruud said:
 Many of the mining properties near Juneau that have been in the course oi development for many years have either reached the producing stage or they are nearing it. Just now, the great stamp mill and railroad that are being built for the Alaska Persever' ence owners are the largest enterprises that are under way. The mill is going up in Silver Bow basin ard the railroad is to connect it with tide water at Ju' neau.

FoRAKER THE MAN

It is said Mir. Roosevelt has made an other choice of man to be his success sor as chief executive. This time it is Senator Foraker, of Ohio. At one time Elihu Root was selected by the president as the man of destiny, but when the New York republicans re- fused to nominate the ex-secretary ot war for governor and made it plain that he could not have New York delega- tion in a national convention, the Rooseveltan smiles were transferred to Secretary Taft. But Taft is in a posi- ton somewhat similar that which con- frouted Root. It is extremely doubtful whether he would receive the support of Ohio for the republican nomination.
 There are two strong factions among the Ohio republiesns-the r'oraker fac tion and the Hrnna faction. The lat ter is now in command of Senator Dick and Gov. Herrick. Until recently Sen ator Foraker has been more interested in the state politics than in national, so as long as Senator Hanna lived there was usually a compromjse-the Hanna factiol dictatiug Ohio's attitude in na- tioual politics, FOraker remaining in charge ot the Columbus machine. Two wears ago, the Hanna machine took full possession of the state, nominating Her rick for governor and Hannaite state ticket in addition to holding the state in national politics, It was then that Foraker took lead in the fight for the renomination of President Roose- welt. Hanna was opposed 70 Roosevelt. A compromise was effected after the death of Senator Hanna by which the positions of the old factions were re- versed. Foraker headed a Roosevelt delegation to the national convention and the Hannaites retained the state officers and the organization. With the prestige he gained as an original Roosevelt man, FOraker has so strengthened himself that it is believed he can, with the administration sup port, carry Ohio in the next republican anti-convention contest. It is doubtful if Taft could. To make matters easier, Taft does not want the presidency. He wants to go on the United States su- preme court bench. An attempt will be made to make a place for him by Plac ing Chief Justice Fuller on the interna- tional arbitration court.

 On the Indian plains porters carry eighty to one hundred pounds. but hill men when working by the job take three times as much up frightfully bad paths.

Further east the tea porters of Se- chuan are notorious. and loads of $50 pounds are not unknown.
