SUICIDE USES DYNAMITE.

YORK, Pa, Oct. 18.-Jacob Dettinger,
SO years old, a famous well digger and
Civil War veteran, took a stick of
dynamite. lit it, held it in his left hand
and blew his entire head off. Dettinger
had frequently carried money on his
person and it is alleged by his friends
that he lost it. This, it is thought,
him to commit the deed.

TO TEST ITS POWER.
Indiana Railroad Questions Right of
State Commission,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. 1S.-A suit
which is designed to test the powers Of
the State Railroad Commission has
been filed by the Lake Erie and West
ern Railroad Company, and it will in
volye the power of the commission to
force orders for changes where the
profit to be derived by the company is
not equal to the expense.
The commission recently ordered the
railroad company to build q switch
from it's tracks at New Castle to a lun1-
Der yard, and the company now asks
for a restraining order and challenges
the constitutionality of the act creating
the commission. It declares that the
Constitution does not give the Legis-
lature power to create such a body with
the authority claimed by the commits
sion, and that the act creating 1t is void.
The suit is regarded as the most inn
portant growing out of the legislation
of last winter. when so much a%ntf-rall-
road legislation was enacted.

NOTE. In July, 1907, I had the pleasure
of visiting Mr.. VIM. Wichman of Morton
who told me of the fortunate escape of his
fathers family, together with some neigh
bors who had collected at his house Prob
ably they got away while the Indians were
engaged In the capture of the horses at
Hunters. Mr.. Wichman also told me of an
attempt to warn his people of danger by
friendly Indian but not being understood it
was not needed. This confirms my opinion
that the squaws words to me at Hunters
were intended to get me away from danger.

follow, 50 Chalon and ! we're to take
them out.
Chalon had something to do that
delayed him a few minutes, but as
soon as / had mounted | started
eastward on the open prairie. With
in a few minutes | saw man in his
shirt sleeves running towards our
settlement from the direction of the
agency. | rode up and found him
greatly excited saying that the In
dams were killing all the whites at
the agency and that we must get
away right off. It was our neigh
Dor, Mr.. Wichman. He continued
towards his house while | turned
and putting my horse to a run,
started for home. | have never
learned what became of Mr.. Wich-
man and his family
In few moments / met Chalon
mounted on fleet little mare. l
briefly told him what | had heard as
he rode along with me. AS soon as
he comprehended the situation he
gave the word to his little mare who
seemed fairly to fly as she bore him
home and past the house without
stopping. On down to the creek he
went giving the alarm to David Car
rothers and telling them to go. to
our house, then to James Carroth-
ers with the same word. Hunter
was not at home so he went no
farther. James Carrothers and Mr..
White had few days before been
selected as delegates to political
convention which met. | think, at
Owatonna. Consequently both were
absent. Some one carried the word
to Mr.. Whites people and father
went to Henderson's. Soon all were
collected at our house. The seats
were removed from the spring
wagon and two feather beds placed
in the bottom on which Mrs. Hen
derson was laid and her two little
girls with her. The horses were
hitched to one lumber wagon and
two yoke of oxen attached to the
other. Into these two wagons the
women and children climbed and
made themselves as comfortable as
possible.
While these preparations were be-
ing made l was busy loading the
guns. The whole stock of arms con-
sisted of two rifles and three double
barreled shot guns which father
held in pawn for cattle sold to the
Indians. Of course, they were all
muzzle leaders. I have often won
dered what would haye been the
outcome if we had had Winchesters
One rifle carried about sixty to the
pound, but the other was very small
bore carrying 120 to the pound.
Both. of these | loaded carefully and,
because of the small bore Of one,
put in two bullets. Next loaded
Little Crows gun and one of the
others, but for the third | had no
shot so put in few small stones.
Our shot and bullets were all gone
and only one flask of powder partly
filled remained. This shows how
utterly defenseless we were.
All being ready to start, 1--WE in
tended going to Fort Ridgely. Is
miles distant) Dave Carrothers took
the larger rifle, father took the
small bore, (loaded with two bull
lets), Chalon took Little Crows
gun, | took another, and Radnor
took the one loaded with small
stones. We started due east in the
direction of Fort Ridgely.
At the time of starting our
party consisted of q persons, men

DEFAULTER IS CAPTURED
 AFRAID OF SUICIDE
Discovered Sitting Under Umbrella Reading Ac-
 count of Theft.

New Orleans, Sept. 12.--Charles E. Letten, chief clerk in the office of the First District tax collector here, who disappeared two days ago, leaving a shortage of over $l00,000, was discov- cred this afternoon standing on the bank of the Mississippi attempting to summon up courage enough to com- init suicide. He said he had started toward the water several times, but each time his courage had failed him. He made full confession.
 The man who saw Letten standing on the river bank reported his dlscov- cry to the police and when the officers arrived they found Letten seated un- der an umbrella reading an account of his dedication in morning paper.
