The delusion that sea water does not

"a chill may be caught by wetting from

vent chills from indiscriminate ex.

chtlls are fertile causes of illness. Chill

berg, ex-governor of this state, was
killed at his home in the suburb of
Caldwell. y dynamite bomb had been
placed at his front gate with a con-
trivance by which it was exploded as
he entered. Both legs were blown off,
and he lived but twenty minutes. A
man has been arrested Mt Caldwell
who, the officers think. may be the
assassin OF Ex-Governor Steunenberg.
His name has not been reported Five
men in all have been detained on trivial
charges in order that their where
abouts may he looked up.
How the Bomb Was Exploded.
When daylight dawned on the scene
of the tragedy it was found that the
dynamite had been exploded by pulling
wire. Pieces of wire and .waNed
fish line We're found in the trees OH the
lawn. Further, it is believed that two
bombs We're used, to make certain Of
carrying out the purpose of the assas-
sination. They seem to have been to.
gether, both being exploded at once.
1t was quite definitely determined dur
ing the night that the mine was fired
by II wire. The explosive was placed
against the post against which the
gate closed, and OH the inside of the
fence.
Assassin Knew Steunenberg's Habit.
That post was to the victims left as
he entered, but the force of the en-
plosiOn caught him on the right, show
ing that he turned partly in closing
the gate. Had the mine been set to 60
off from the movement of the gate the
explosion would have occurred as lie
went in, and 1t is therefore certain the
mine was fired by wire. and that the
assassin, knowing his habit of making
the stop to close the gate, waited IN.
til he turned around.
Charged TO Labor Dynamitards.
There is no known reason for the
outrage, but it is charged to some
member of the Infamous elmer Cir.

whom he prosecuted so relcnt,essly in
1889 while he was governor. Governor
Gooding is prepared to put the full
support of the state behind the officials
in running down the perpetrators of
the crime. 1t is thought probable that
the leading detective agencies of the
country will be asked to send some of
their best men to the scene. and the
state will offer as great a reward ,as

The principal danger now seems to
lie that the BLACK Hundred" will COM
plete the work begun by the troops
and end the revolt with horrible mas

sented as enraged Mt the attempt of
the revolutionarics to overthrow the
emperor. and even with the best in.
tentions it may be impossible for the
authorities to restrain the fury of these
