county, Saturday night. John Murphy,
a ~16-year-old boy who was present,
but not in the trouble, also died as the
result of two wounds he received. The
directors of the school had asked Mr..
Stamper, who was deputy sheriff OF
Macon county for many years, TO be
present and keep order, as there are
some d~isorderly persons in the neigh
borhood. During the exhibition the
two Michaels and a cousin named Bill
Acrey raised a disturbance and Stamp
er went to them and asked them to
keep quiet. After the entertainment
the three boys started after Stamper,
announcing their intention of killing
him. Acrey had a dangerous knife
open, and approached him from the
front, and the two Michaels on either
side.

turned and shot Wib Michael twice,
once in the head and once in the body.
Stamper was cut through the coat and

EAST ST. LOUIS Big BLAZE
An Ugly Hole Burned in the BUSH
ness Heart of the City.
"he Fire Said to Have Been Due to
an Oyerheated F~urnace-The
Firemen Suffered.

st. Louis. Feb. 4.-The fire which
for awhile threatened wholesale de
struction completely destroyed three
handsome business buildings at the
2orner Of st. Louis and C%ollinsVille
avenue, East st. Louis, ILL.,, yesterday
morning.
The buildings were in the heart Of
he business section Of the city.
The loss is approximately $l7S,600
The insurance on the burned property
amounts to $125, 900.
The principal policies carried we're:
On the Josephine building. $25, 900;
Walsh building, $4,000; DeWolf build
ing, $4,000; Elks' Club, $4,000; Palace
Clothing Co, $4,000; Stitkler Grocery
Co., $500; Sondag Drug Co., $4,000;
st. Clair Packing Co., $1,000.
Friday afternoon another alarm was
turned in from the burned district, and
every fire engine company in East st.
Louis was called out. The Walsh
building debris had begun to burn
iercely again, but after a few minutes
play from hose lines the new blaze
subsidized.
The origin of the fire was evidently
an overheated furnace in the basement
Of the Josephine building, where the
loss is the heaviest. The other build
ings destroyed were the Walsh build
ing and the DeWol building.
All the buildings were occupied, on
their lower floors by business firms.
The Elks' lodge was on the top floor of
the Walsh building. The other floors
Of the buildings were occupied as office
rooms. Several persons sleeping on
these floors were rescued, all without
injury to rescued or rescuers.
The firemen worked under Difficult
, ties, as blizzard conditions were pre-
vailing. The temperature was at zero
n 50-mile wind was blowing from the
north and snow was falling. Assist
ance was called for, and one st. Louis
fire company responded.
Several of the firemen suffered Sc
we're frost bites while at work.

eral of Finland, Murdered in HIS
Home at HeIsinSfors.

Helsingfors. Finland, Feb. Sol
salon Soininen, procurator general OF
Finland, who before he vas ennobled
was known by the name of Johnson,
was assassinated Monday by a young
mar whose identity up to the present
time has not been determined. The
assassin and Sentiments son were both
wounded in q revolver duel following
the killing. The motive of the crime
apparently was purely political, the
slain official being a prominent mem
Der of the government party.
The murderer appeared at the pro-
ORATORS residence at II o'clock Mon
French the name of Alexandra Gadd,
who is in the Russian service. The
young man, who was smartly dressed
in an officers uniform, was promptly
admitted to the officials private study,
and on his entrance fired four shots
from a revolver, one of the bullets
piercing the breast of the procurator,
who expired almost Immediately. His
17-year-son, hearing the shots, rushed
in from an adjoining and fired
three or four shots at his fathers as
sassin, whose right leg was broken be-
low the knee by a bullet. He was also
slightly wounded in the shoulder and a
finger of his left hand was struck. The
assassin fred the one bullet remaining
in his revolver at Sentiments son,
wounding him slightly in the calf of
his right leg. He then ~endeavored to
escape, but fell unconscious to the
floor in the anteroom. There he was
seized.
DR.. Wasastjerna was called immedi-
ately, but found the procurator beyond
need of his services. The assassin was
removed to the surgical hospital,
where he lies guarded by police, an
swering no questions and evidently
unconscious. His recovery, however,
is thought to be certain.
Up to the present the authorities
have been unable to identify him. He
is of dark complexion and apparently
between Is and 80 years of age.
