LOUISA THOMAS,
A Young Colored Woman
Mistaken for a Robber
and Killed.

wednesday, ulBuU dU AA.7O q
young colOred woman by the
name of Louisa Thomas was
killed in the yard of Mr.. H. K.
Ruger by Tom Pizzo a young man
about 18 years old. The parti-
culars as developed at the cOrO-
ner's inquest show that colored
man, Adolph Lessin, had noticed
a person standing at Mr.. Ruger's
corner, had seen the person en-
ter the yard and had reported it
to young PizzO. who hastened to
the Gordon Hotel and informed
Night Watchman Mentor Richard.
Then they both at once went and
searched Mr.. Ruger's yard for
the robber, as they supposed the
individual to be, at last finding
someone in the wOOdhouse. all
wrapped up and apparently
crouching against the wood. Mr..
Richard called to him to come
out. Receiving no answer ne
called again, when the person
rose up suddenly and started
forward, and a. that moment
young PHO fired. The person
dropped the quilt and stepped
forward, when they discovered it
was a woman. Not knowing she
she was hit, Mr.. Richard asked
what she was doing there and
she answered, Looking for my
husband" He told her to come
and go with him. and she asked,
where are you going to take
!, mes" He repeated, Come" and
the girl made two steps forward.
staggered back and fell, dying in
a moment or two. Mr.. Richard
at once telephoned Sheriff Lac0ste
who came promptly and placed
Pizzo under arrest. The coroner
was also notified and within q
short time came and empanelled
a jury, which after hearing testi-
mony, rendered a verdict of JUS
tifiable killing, whereupon PHO
was released from custody.
Thursday, however. an affidavit
charging him with manslaughter
was made before Judge MOnnier
and he was rearrested and placed
in Jail, but released on 81, 500 bail
Friday.
The presence of the girl in the
yard is explained, that for some
reason she was prevented from
sleeping at the home of relatives
where she usually stayed, and
being employed as cook at Mr..
Ruger's home, she went there
and went into the woodhOuse to
sleep.

NO PEACE HITCH
President Roosevelt Satisfied With Lat

Washington, June 2-Ambassador
Cassini called on the president today to.

a meeting Of the Japanese and Russian
ENJOYS and to state that Russia would
appoint plenipotentiaries to. meet the
plenipo tentiaries of Japan to discuss
the question Of peace. The place Of
meeting at present is being. discussed.
Assurance is given here by the high

peace negotiations and that reports to
that effect are entirely without sffounida-

from Mr.. Meyer, the American ambassa-

night. The contents Of this cablegram
have not yet been made public, but it
is believed that Mr.. Meyer in his dis

cause voting machines offered for use
in the state have not been Of a type
that could be used at the primaries.
This meant that, with primaries held
on the old ballot plan, precincts could
not be enlarged. However, experts say
that machines can be so built as to be
adjustable for either the general or
primary election, and such a machine
being framed for Minnesota. The COM
mission, consisting of Attorney General
Young, Professor J. G.. Flather of the
state university and F. W. Cappelen,
former city engineer Of Minneapolis,
spent a good part of the afternoon
studying requirements of other states

Machines approved by the commission
will be carefully specified. The commits

the use of that machine when built to
conform with the sample examined.
The members of the commission are
waiting with interest for the decision
of the supreme court of Illinois in a
Chicago case involving the validity of
the voting machine law. This case has
raised for the first time whether election
by machine is an election "by ballot, -
as all constitutions require.

RosEN SAYS HE'S NOT IT
Says He Has Not Been Named as Rus
r sia's Envoy.

Paris, June l2.-Baron Rosen, the
new Russian ambassador to the United
States, who is on his way to Washing
ton and whose name is mentioned as
the probable Russian peace plenipoten-
tiary, was seen today by the Associated
Press, and he said:
81 observe in the press the use of
my name as the probable peace plenipo'
tertiary, but that is wholly without my
authority or knowledge"
!, A dispatch from st. Petersburg to
| the Eclair gives the alleged detailed
conditions Of both sides, the Japanese
conditions numbering eleven and the
Russian ten.
The statement is practically the same
as several former speculative condi'
tons:
An indemnity Of $3.50, 100000; Jap:
anese protectorate over Manchuria and
| Korea; the cession Of Port Arthur and
part Of the trans anchurian railway
to Japan; forfeiture Of the interned
| warships; the withdrawal of Russian
| warships from the far east for period
of twenty-five years, and the occupa
ton of Vladivostok until these condi
| tions are fulfilled.
The Russian conditions, according tc
the dispatch, reject the question of an
| indemnity and give qualified accept
| ance Of the other terms. ~.

Formal Applications of the
Prisoners Have Been Filed
With Governor Cummins
LEGAL NOTICE OF SAME GIVEN
Innocence of Crime Charged, and Con-
victions on circumstantiaI Evidence,
Given as Reasons for Filing Appli.
cation in Both cases-Wi'l Go Be-
fore Lsgislature.

The Times Republican publishes to-
day in legal form, notice of the pre-
sentation of Governor A. E. Cummins
of applications for the pardon of Nate
and Frank Ilainsbarger from the Ana
mosa penitentiary. The Rainsbargers.
who were convicted for a crime in Har-
din county, were tried in this county,
and convicted at the November and
January, 1887, terms. Life imprison-
ment was fixed in each case.
There are many people who today
do not believe that Nate and Frank
Rainsbarger were responsible for thu
death OF SEnoch Johnson. Efforts at
securing -pardons have been made be-
fore, but each time enemies of the
prisoners have demonstrated against
the issuance OF the pardons. Many
who believed the Rainsbargers guilty
at the time. now think that they have
been sufficiently punished.
Nathan Eainsbarger, who was con-
victed at the November, 1887, term Of
Viz NASS1 ~ SOaAe, SAoALiS, ia hShIitS
his pardon. that he is innocent of the
crime, as charged; that his conviction
was on cilcumstantial evidence. He
also cites his long term of service and
his exemplary conduct as reasons why
he should be pardoned.
Frank Rainsbarger, whose convic-
ton occurred at the January term, also
claims innocence Of the crime charg-
ed; that he was convicted wholly on
circumstantial evidence, at time when
public feeling ran high against him;
and refers to his extreme youth at
the time OF his conviction, he having
been 10 years of age at that time.
Frank Rainsbarger also calls attention
to his long term Of service, and uni-
form good conduct during the same.
The Crime Charged.
The crime for which the Rainsbarg-
ers were convicted was the murder OF
Enoch Johnson, Frank Rainsbarger's
father-i nlaw, who was shot one night
in his buggy. The man carried some
insurance OIL his life, and it was
thought by some that he had been kill
ed for his insurance money. The evil
dence was wholly circumstantfal, but
convictions were forthcoming in both
cases. The crime occurred near Steam
boat Rock, in Hardin county.
b The petitions will be presented be-
fore the Thirty first general assembly,
which convenes Jan. s, 1906.
