Tuesday night, within few hours oi
the time the murder took place, and
while the police departments of Min.
neapolis and St. Paul were watching
every outgoing train in order to catch
the murderer, Riggs took charge of his
train at the union depot as usual and
made the run to Elroy.
Before leaving the Minneapolis
union depot at $50 o'clock Riggs was
handed a description of the man who
was suspected of the murder, and he
was cautioned to be on watch for q
man that fitted that description. The
description, except for few minor
particulars, coincided nearly with
Riggs own description, but as he was
dressed in his conductors uniform
and cap, it is not unnatural that the
resemblance did not appear

The run to Elroy was without Incl

after midnight, he at once made his
way to his hotel and retired for the
night. Twelve hours later the chief
of police of Elroy, following the urgent
instructions of Chief Doyle, made his
way to the hotel and placed Riggs
under arrest on the charge of murder
ing Mile Ellison.
Chief Doyle communicated with the
town authorities at Ellsworth and was
able to learn that the dead woman's
name was Millie Ellison and that she

said, but to be married others averred

Washington, July 18.-Peace be-

duras will be the result of the action
of President Roosevelt in directing the
American ministers at San Salvador
and Guatemala to endeavor to bring
the warning countries together.
Advices were received by the de-
parment of state yesterday that all of
the cOntending nations will suspend
hostilities and that they will appoint
peace plenipotentiaries to endeayor to
agree on a settlement of the difficult
ties.

Wis.,, Miss Ellison was possessed Of
about $4,000. 1t was the understand
ing of her family that she planned to
invest this money with Riggs in Wash
ington lands, and that the two were
to go there to be married.
Riggs was a married man, and
lived with his family at 3405 Pillsbury
avenue, Minneapolis.
Robbery was unquestionably the mo-
tive for the crime
Riggs had always borne an excellent
reputation, and was exceedingly popu-
lar along the line of his run, and par
ticularly in Minneapolis and Elroy,
where he was best known.
Murderer Kills Himself.

Minneapolis, the police of Elroy ar

was very white.
Shortly after midnight, the prisoner
asked the officer in whose charge he

End Of the Tragedy.
Without locking the door Riggs sent

st. Petersburg, July 18.-There was
an incipient mutiny in the fortress OF
st. Peter and st. Paul yesterday. Two
soldiers refused to obey the orders of
their commander, and, when threaten
ed with arrest, the whole of the regi-
ment to which the two men belonged
came to their support. A court of in
quiry will be instituted to ascertain all
the facts in the case.
Owing to the outbreak of disorders
among the Cossacks and the demands
presented by some of them to be re-
lieved of police duty and allowed to
return to their homes, the minister OF
war has ordered the disbandment OF
several battalions of Kuban Cossacks
Trepoff Dies by Proxy.
Beyond question the murderer Of
Gen.. Kozlov last Saturday believed he
was killing Gen. Trepoff The tragedy
occurred at $3.50 in the evening, in the
presence of several thousand people
who were listening to the music in the
English park below the grand chateau,
adjoining the park Of Alexander pal
ace, where the imperial family and
Gen. Trepoff reside. A young man
dressed in the clothes of workman,
seeing Gen. Kozlov, who resembles
Gen. Trepoff, gazed long and earnestly
at the generals face and then took
photograph from his pocket to COM
pare it with Kozlov's features, as if to
make sure of his identity,
Fired Point Blank.
The man then drew a pistol and
fired four shots point blank at Kozlov,
who fell mortally wounded and died
On the spot.
The assassin was arrested. He re-
fused to give his name, although he
openly avowed that he was a member
OF the social revolutionary organiza-
ton, and the police have not yet been
able to find out his name.
Gen. Kozlov was not involved in
politics. He married q granddaughter
of the famous field marshal, Count
Alexander Suvaroff.
Cxar Again a Pendulum.
There are no developments In the
cabinet situation. The murder of Gen.
Kozlov is reported to have made an
exceedingly bad impression on the en-
peror, and the Novoe Vremya denies
that the cabinet has resigned. The
hesitation at Peterhof has undoubtedly
raised hopes in the minds of some of
Premier Goremykin's colleagues that
he can hold on, even in the face OF the
adverse vote in the upper house Of par
lament on Saturday
1t is understood that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky, who was acquitted by
court-martial of the charge Of coward
ice in surrendering to the enemy after
the battle of the Sea of Japan, will be
restored to the active list of the navy
and assigned to a permanent position
on the technical committee of the

merce, three hours before her murder.
These two bills had been punched by
the teller In order that Miss Ellison
might readily distinguish them.
When shown the bills the teller at
once identified them as being the ones
he had given Miss Ellison.
Thus the guilt Of the suicide was e.
tablished beyond all question.
There was other cash, bringing the
total up to 5000.

One of the most shocking, cold
blooded murders in the criminal an
nails OF Minneapolis was committed
Tuesday afternoon in the National ho-
tel
Tragic, as was the murder itself,
even more so was the expiation of
the foul crime.
Run to earth by the police few
hours after the discovery of his VIC
tim, the murderer cheats the gallows
by putting bullet in his own brain.
Found Dying in Flames.
Her skull crushed by heavy ham,
mer blows dealt with fiendish deliber-
alton and her body enveloped in blaz-
ing alcohol, ignited by her murderer,
Millie Ellison of Ellsworth. Wis, was
found in room at the National hotel
in Minneapolis Tuesday afternoon.
She died a few minutes later at the
city hospital.
The woman had registere1 as Mrs.
H. Johnson of Detroit, Mich. The
police were not long in establishing
her real identity, which was later
verified by the woman's brother.
A man who had registered at the
National as IN. ]. Wilson, Milwau-
kee," had been seen in the woman's
room an hour or more before she was
found in her death throes, and less
than half an hour before the grue-
some discovery he was seen to hurry

and then leave the hotel by the side
entrance.
Terrifying Sight.
The tragedy first came to the no
tice of the authorities at $3.50 p. M,
when employees of the hotel saw
smoke coming from the woman's room
and heard her scream. When they
entered, the room was ablaze, and the
victim surrounded by the CHASTITY blue
flames of the burning alcohol.
AS the hotel employees entered the
room terrifying sight met them.
The woman was on her hands and
knees, unconscious, but writhing as
though in great agony. The heav-
Ter flames of the blazing draperies
and of the couch on which she had
evidently been lying were creeping
closer to her. BY her side we're the
hammer covered with blood and tan
gled hair and an empty alcohol bottle
that had been thrown down by the
murderer as he fed. The victim s
clothing was already burned of, her
face was covered with clotted blood
and her right temple told at the first
glance Of the murderOus blows. The
couch and floor were also spotted with
blood, but there were no evidences
Of q struggle, the woman evidently
having been murdered In her sleep
and rolled OF the couch to her knees.
She was dressed in light clothing be-
cause Of the heat OF the day, and
the murderer's blow fell on her up
turned temple.

1t was dated Jan. 9, 1906, which was
about the time that Miss Ellison had
given Riggs $500, as she supposed, to
invest In land in Washington.
Instead of investing the money he
deposited 1t to his own personal use.
The locker also contained a gold
ring with Riggs initials on the inside
The ring had been given to Miss ELI

from her finger at the time he killed
her.
The finger showed plainly that q
ring had been forcibly removed.
