members of the family committed
suicide.

GUILTY
OF MURDER
Religious Fanatics Let Mans Leg
Rot Off

Wallace, Idaho, Sept. 2s.-The
manner Of the death Of the late Will
liam Fletcher Of Mace has caused
sensation such as this section has sell
dom experienced. About two weeks
ago, while pairing his toenails, Mr..
Fletcher cut his toe. II was the us
ual story Of blood poison, the insig-
niflcant cut few days later becom-
ing sore, blood poisoning developing
in the foot, running up the leg and
ending in death. The old mans
wife is a firm believer in Christian
Science, and nothing was done for
some days. When Mrs. FLETCHER
realized the seriousness Of the case,
according to witnesses, Christian
Science treatment was given her hus-
band.
A prominent Elk and business man
of Mace, who, for reasons explained
by him, will not at this time permit
the publication Of his name, but who
will later, told this story Of the
affair.
1.-THE old man was left 10 lie and
suffer, being treated only over long
distance telephone by a Christian
Science healer in Spokane and while
his friends knew he was sick, no one
was allowed to see him unless he al.
most forced his way into the house
against Mrs. Fletcher's orders.
Finally a committee Of Elks and
friends Of Mr.. Fletcher, composed Of
r. H. Pascoe, superintendent Of the
Standard mine. Ed Boehan and w.
}, Barnard, went to Mrs. Fletcher
and insisted that a doctor be sum-
moned. After a bitter fight with
Mrs. Fletcher and other Christian
Science people there, DR. Collins was
summoned from Burk and admlttance
was gained 10 where Fletcher lay.
''When we went ia the poor old
fellow was unconscious. The doctor
turned back the covers on his bed,
and you could not believe should I
describe the horrible sight we saw.
His foot and leg we're in frightful

the resolutions committee, which was
unanimously adopted, read in part az
follows.
1--WE condemn our present county
government for It's incompetency,
dishonesty and extfayaRanee, aud we
especially condemn THAT feature Of IL
by which, through the conniyance OF
its officials with favored outsiders,
taxpayers have been victims Of syste-
matte extortion and their property
rights have been ieopardized. We
specially condemn such officials for
specializing In tax titles, for the dis
bursement Of public moneys to favor,
ed parties and for sending outside of
the state for county supplies. In vio-
lation Of the law.
Resolved, That II is the sense Of
this convention that the conduct
Of county affairs should not be run
in TIM political interests Of any per.
son or manipulated by any set Of

TAFT is NOW GOVERNOR

HAVANA, Sept. 28.-The moderate
party last night decided to make a
final effort to perpetuate the authori.
ty of the Palma administration by
determining to reject the resignation
of the president, when presented to
congress today. When this deci-
sion was reached, Secretary of War
Taft and Assistant Secretary of State
Bacon, the American commissioners,
had already concluded to intervene,
but they agreed to await develop
ment, as they are anxious to afford
the Cubans every opportunity to work
their salvation.
President Palma steadfastly refuses
every solicitation of his friends to
withdraw his resignation. Typical
of this was a cablegram he sent to
President Roosevelt in response to
the final urgent message from the
american president that he remain at
bis helm. In view of all that had
Eranspired Palma felt that further
sacrifice on his part would be use
ess, and that it was not consistent
with his dignity and prestige to re-
main in office.
Were it possible to induce Presi-
Bent Palma to withdraw his resigna-
ion the situation still would be most
difficult, and Intervention would con-
inue to be the most probable out
eome. If Palma's resignation we're
ccpeted it would then become neces-
barry for congress to elect a provision
Il president.
The American commissioners will
not brook the establishment of pro-
sisional government by the Cubans
Simply as a means of gaining time.
They hold that if provisional gov
ernment is created il must be by the
Knitted States. Secretaries Taft and
Bacon would not be properly dis
chargeing their full duties if such q
government we're created in any other
manner. The American commits
sioners have little confidence in the
seriousness of the politicians who
have been insincere throughout these
pine days of futile negotiations.
Secretary Taft, by authority of the
president of the United States viii
proclaim himself provisional govern
of Cuba. Such government, how
fer, would be made Cuban as far as
was possible 50 to do by continuing
e departments under the immediate

condition; the foot had broken and
was laying reeking In It's own exuda-
tioA. The bed clothing hadn't been
changed apparently for some time
and the sight was beyond description.
Immediately when DIR. Collins saw
him, be said he thought the man was
beyond aid. Fletcher by this time
had reused up a bit, and said he
wanted TO go to hospital. Mrs.
Fletcher objected vigorously to this
and we threatened her and the others
Of her faith there with the law.
Finally she consented to having him
brought here, but be would have Arst
60 be released by the Spokane heal
or. We got busy over the phone then
and at 9:20 last night got tho man
released. Now he's In your hands, y
she said ''and II he dies You are re-
sponsihle. We brought the old man
down on push car. and when 10
reached the hospital nt midnight he
said family, ~ guess came here
too late, !" and his spirit took It's
flight.

McBURNEY COMES
TO SPORANE.
Then Drops Out of Sight--Wife
Makes Inquiries

j. E. MeBurney, who created
small sensation by disappearing Mon
day from Spokane returned to that
city last evening very much ANNOY
ed at the notoriety which his disap-
pearance had given him. Last even.
ing he talked to F. D. VIM by long
distance telephone and stated that he
had been called suddenly TO northern
Washington and that he had not
thought it necessary to mention his
going to anybody. He stated that he
might come to this city this evening
for the purpose of installing the off,
GERS of the knights Templar. 1t was
i thought that the matter was settled,
but today Mr.. VIM was unable to
get him by wire, and this afternoon
received a telegram from Mrs. Nc
Burney dated at Boise at IL O'Clock,
asking for information regarding her
husbands disappearance. This means
that McBurney did not inform his
wife of his safe arrival ia Spokane,
and as he can not be found again it
is thought that he has taken another
"trip, is becoming too we'll acquainted
with booze, or that he is troubled
With temporary insanity, any one of
Rhich would account for his strange
ctions.
McBurney's friends state that he
las always been an abstemious man
nd his chracter and conduct have al d.
lays been above reproach. What
hese several sudden mysterious dis
appearances mean is more than can
be fathomed by the average b.ain,
Ind it appears as if there was some
hing doing which required the atten-
lion of the state officials.
Should McBurney arrive in the
pity this evening he will probably be
bile to give an account OF himself
and explain what reason he has
for causing his friends and family SO
much trouble and worry.
The fact that his wealth and prom
inent position is at steak as we'll as
the fact that he is causing his family

SHOOK PORTO RICO
Earthquake FFightens Tnhab-
itants of Island.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept 1T
The city Of San Juan and the island
Of Porto Rico experienced series of
heavy earthquake shocks today, be.
ginning az 1O:47 a. m. The people
we're thrown into a condition Of con-
sternation and Undesirable alarm,
but the resultant damage was eompar-
atively slight and there has been no
loss Of life.
The first pereeptible tremors
brought~many people in alarm to the
streets. The tremors increased in
intensity for 30 seconds and then
died for five seconds. Following this
came the most severe shocks, the
earth shaking violently for five sec
onds more. Then all was quite.
The nEst vibratory movements were
from east TO vest and were followed
BY heavy motions, much the same as
are experienced On board ship in q
heavy sea.

cession, fancy dress ball and general

cipated in by that new and Mystic
Order of E-Nakops. This one and a
third rate is good any day, with re-
turn privilege any day. Besides
this, a special one fare for the round

control of the immediate heads there
of.
The moderate leaders expect moth
ing except Intervention, it being a
matter of common report among them
that armed American forces will flock
ashore from the warships assembled
here before the meeting of congress,
but this will not occur unless some
violent change in the situation makes
it necessary. Even should congress
carry out its announced intention of
not accepting President Pslma's res
ignation. Secretary Taft will hold
that a vacancy exists unless Palma
himself concludes to remain in office.

ly witnessed the tragedy. A bottle of
horse radish found with the remains
was positively identified as one given
Tyler by Mrs: Philips the day prior to
his disappearance for him to take on
a fishing trip, Tyler was going FISH,
ing when ambushed, and Philips
identified the fishing bag he carried
which contained the horseradish bot
tie. He also told of threats Adams
and Simpkins had made against Ty-
Ter, who was squatting on the same
claim as Simpkins
Philips placed the coroner in an
aw kward position by declaring he had

exactly who the murderers were and
asked for bloOdhounIs with which to

TALK OF THIRD TICKET.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 80. Demo
cratic party leaders showed no dispo.
sition TO comment upon the ticket
named last night or upon the pro.
ceedings.
Mr.. Jerome said that the socalled
Albany conference OF anti Hearst del.
egates which was to have met again
this morning had abandoned the idea
of another session in Buffalo, but
would meet shortly at the call Of the
chairman, Edward NJ. Shepard Of
New York.
The possibility OF a third ticket
being placed in the field is generally
commented upon because OF the al
most bitter character Of some Of the
speeches delivered in the convention
when friends Of Representative Sui
zer resorted TO denuDciation Of Mr.
