STOLEN BOY CUT TO PIECES.
His Remains Thrown Into Box Car
and Covered Over With
Wheat.

Tulsa, l. T., July 9.-The probable
murder of a boy and the subsequent
mutilation of his body has been un-
sarthed at Francis, I. T., by the dis
covery in a Frisco box car of the
corpse of little Harry Priester, the
eight-year-old son Of J. E. Priester, of
this city.
The boy had been missing from
home several days.
He was at first thought to have
been abducted by tramps, and the
discovery of the body Is believed to
strengthen this theory. The presump-
ton is that the boy was killed in the
railroad yards here, his body being
thrown in q box car loaded with
wheat
The car was loaded at Blackwell,
Okla, and the body discovered when
unloading at Francis. The first reports
that reached here were to the effect
that the body, which was entirely COW
cred by grain, was that Of girl. Later,
however, 1t was positively identified
as the corpse of young Priester.
No motive is known for the murder

Hennings was one Of the most pop
ular politicians in the republican
party here and had been city treasurer
for six years. During the spring cleo
ton he was the Rosewater candidate
for mayor, but was defeated for the
nomination. This is said to have
preyed on his mind heavily, and his
close friends expected the suicide. al
though to outward appearances he
was cheerful
He was also worried over personal
finances. His record as city treasurer
was particularly clean, and his books
balanced to a cent when he turned
over the office to his successor.

my position. AS | wrote Col. Wetmore,

some good without holding any office.
There are, however, certain re-

to see accomplished, and assist in the
of these reforms l am
willing to become the party candidate
again if, when the time ior nOmina-

are in control of the party and think
that my candidacy will give the best
assurance of victory. If someone else
seems more available l shall be even
better pleased.
Il need not assure you that l am
more interested in seeing our princi-

to have Jeffersonian democracy ap-

naval men FEAR
CAPT. PEARy IS LOST
NO TIDINGS OF THE SHIP ROOSE-
WELT SINCE SAILING
LAST JULY.
For Thirty Years 1t Has Been Peary's
Great Aim In Life to Reach the One
Spot On Earth Ever Considered Un-
attainabIe, the North Pole-His
Plans In Arctic Regions.

Washington, July 9.-That Capt.
Robert E. Peary has sacrificed his lie
nthe effort to discover the north pole
is the fear of naval men here, who are
worried by the failure to get any It'd
ings of the ship Roosevelt, which sailed
for the Arctic regions, July 6, 1905.
Advices from the American Geo.
Reports are that the weather in the
far north this spring and early sum-
mer was more than usually rigorous,
that severe storms have been frequent,
and that the Ice is heavy. Consequent
ly, it is feared that Peary's ship may
have been ground to pieces by the
drifting foes.
His Plans In Arctic Region.
The explorers plans, when he left
last summer, were to proceed to the
farthest possible point Of land north
of Cape Sabine, and within 500 miles
Of the pole.
There he was to establish a winter
base and make all preparations for q
dash across the ice this summer as
soon as weather conditions would per-
NIT This he expected would not occu-
py more than six weeks, and, accord
ing to his calculations. he would reacn
home not later than October Of this
year.
No News Causes Anxiety.
Esk4mos and dogs, it is supposed,
were taken aboard the Roosevelt last
summer, for it is on the hardy inhabit-
ants Of the polar regions that Peary
always relied. 1t was thought, how
ever, that a whaling vessel might
bring some tidings of the Roosevelt,
and the failure Of any news Of the ex-
pedition to reach the outside world
for so many months is arousing the
keenest anxiety
His Work For Thirty Years.
1t is now just thirty years since
Peary began his work as an Arctic
explorer. Since 1881, when he made
his first journey. his great aim in life
has been to reach the one spot on
earth which ever has been considered
unattainable. He has not forgotten,
however, to make complete scientific
observations on his trips, and has con-
tributed as much, If not more, than
any other explorer to knowledge of
the polar regions.

quent repetitions of the statement that
he will be the republican candidate
for president in 1908"
The speaker was a friend and ad-
mirer of the president, and went on
to say that there were few things so
calculated to irritate the president as
the constant iteration in certain po-
litical quarters that his official utter
ance, issued from the White House
on election night, 1904, that he was
not a candidate for denomination and
would not be, was open to discussion.
81 have talked with the president on
this matter" said the Union Lacquer,
both in the White House and at
Oyster Bay, and the people who have
not taken the presidents official state
ment seriously fail, in his opinion, to
understand that he made it after seri-
Gus reflection and with honesty of pur-
pose. He has not abated one jot or tit
lie from it, and will not abate 1t. Those
who think the matter open to discus
sion should hear the president speak
to his friends about it. The political
purpose of the statement, he will tell
you, was that he had voluntarily taken
himself out of the pathway of any Of
the aspirants for the nomination, and
that it was a notification for those as
pirants to climb in and cut out the rum
ming.
