Where the body was found the water
was about u feet deep.
Mr. McNulty says Seavers had
saved his money for some time and
regarded the gold coins with particu-

this should pay his sick or funeral
expensec.

He came to Cairo from Ohio about

Singer and then at Langan's.
There are some puzzling circum-
stances connected with the case. A
lot OF fishing tackle which the man
was known to have in HIS trunk is
missing. bu, he was not seen with any
such paraphernalia in Missouri. and
he would not have gone on fishing

disappeared, and he found his sus-
picions to be true.
Although the body was badly de-
composed and could not be recog-
nized. the clothing and personal
effects found upon II left no doubt
that it was that of Seavers. Among
the articles brought back by Mr.. Nc
Nulty is the watch Of the dead man,
an open faced silver watch which Mr..
McN'ulty recognized as belonging to
Seavers: but a more important clue is
a door key found on the body, which
belongs 20 the door of the firms car
penter shop, bearing the number OF
the lock. The key was used last even
ing to open the door OF the shop.
Mr.. McNulty tells an interesting
story about Seayers. The last time he
saw the man was Tuesday afternoon
of last week. about o'clock. Seavers
showed no signs of being respondent
then. On the contrary he spoke Of
what work he intended 10 do the fol
lowing day and requested Mr.. Nc
Nulty not to Interfere with certain
tools which he had laid out and which
he expected TO use.
As far as can be learned Seavers

been playing cards. Some who were
in the game say that only small sums

Wyoming took high honors in the
organization of the land convention at
Denver. Hon. James M. Wilson OF
Douglas was made permanent chair
man and Secretary George S. Walker
of the National Woolgrowers' associa'
ton landed the position of temporary
secretary. In both cases competence
brought the reward. DR.. Wilson Is al
exceedingly strong man in conventions
of any description. He is quick to
see a point, ready in debate, fair in de,

Wyoming is at the front in the con
vention. The speeches made by Wyo
ming men are among the very best de
liyered. Senators Warren and Clark
Congressman Mondell and Governor
Brooks are all exceedingly well posted
in land matters and they have the pow
er of expression to a degree equaled

Largest Building Stone.

The walls OF the Acropolis at Baal.
bek are truly called Cyclopean. The
famous Trilithon, the largest stones
ever used in building, measure respec-
lively IS. "a and 60 feet in length, each
block weighing about $50 tons. How
these huge masses were accurately
placed in position 20 feet above the
ground is a problem which modern
science, with all its appliances leaves
yet unsolved.
Above them are Arab fortifications.
The quarries whence these gigantic
materials were obtained are among
the most interesting features Of Baal-
bek. Here may still be seen the
method OF work Of the ancient quar-
rymen, stones vertically hewn lying
almost ready to the hand OF the build
er. One Of these stones, to which the
Arabs give the name Hajar-el-Huobia,
measures 50 feet in length and weighs
915 tons.
NJ. de Saulcy calculates it would
take the united efforts of 10000 men
to put this huge block in motion. This
quarry is now used as d metropolis by
the inhabitants of Baalbek.-Sunday

KILLED AT DlETZ.
Bartender Deliberately Murders
Would-Be Peace Maker.

Sheridan, Wyo. June 20.-Jabe2
Sykes, an Englishman, 22 years Of age,
was shot and instantly killed by
Charles Davis in the Keenan, saloon a,
Dietz Sunday night. Davis has been
arrested. The coroner's inquest found
that the killing was without provoca'
ton. Davis will probably be tried dur.
ing the session of court now meeting
here.
Davis was the bartender in the sa'
loon and became involved in an alter
cation with a younger brother of Sykes
when the older brother walked to the
bar and asked them to stop quarreling
Davis struck at Sykes with a revolver
and then stepped back and fired, Sykes
falling dead. The bullet struck the
young nan just above the right ear,
going entirely through the head.
