Hundred Redskins.

Associated Press to The Evening" Times.
New York, April 23.-More than 100
redskins from the tall timbers of vest
ern reservations are camped in Madi-
son Square Garden today, preparatory
to the opening this evening of a three
weeks engagement by Buffalo Bills
Wild West. For five years the organi-
zation has been touring Europe, but
will spend this season in the United
States. For several weeks the per-
formers have been rehearsing' in
Bridgeport under the personal direc-
tion of Col. William F. Cody, who will
be seen in the saddle at every per-
formance.
The principal feature of the show
this year will be reproduction of the
battle of Summit Springs, in which
Buffalo Bill participated as the leader
OF the government scouts. Chief Tall
Bull was killed during this engage
ment, and his death will be the theme
of dramatic climax of the spectacle.
A train hold-up, with real locomotive
and coaches as properties, will also be
shown and will likely furnish few
thrills for effete fasteners.

Nebraska Fruits Suffer as Result Of
Recent Bad Weather.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Omaha, Neb., April 23.-As a result
of the unprecedented weather which
prevailed during the greater part of
the month of March and the freezing
weather and heavy snowfall of the
last few days. early fruits, such as
peaches, plums, apricots. cherries and
blackberries, in this section have been
injured, but the general opinion
among those who have the best means
of informing themselves is that the
damage is not as great as has been
reported. Indeed, many are of the
opinion that while early fruits have
been injured and in some instances
completely killed and possibly some
of the later varieties have been hurt,
the benefits resulting to the grain
crops from the snow storm more than
Offset the damage.

in support of Richard Mansfield, Annie
Russell. Grace George. and many other

street, this afternoon. Coroner George +.
Shrady jr, said that death was prob
able caused by paralysis, due TO a COM
plication Of kidney and liver diseases.
Miss Harrison had been ailing for some
time, but owing to the fact that she was
a devout believer in Christian Science, it
being said that she had a warm personal
friendship with Mrs. Eddy, no physician
was called in until to-day. After the
death of her mother, who was buried in
Woodlawn Cemetery about six months
ago. Miss Harrison took up her residence
at the Hotel Willard.
From time TO time she had made COM
plants to friends of not being in the
best of health. For the past few days the
actress had kept pretty close to her room
Instead Of going to the manager of the
hotel and settling her monthly account

of the floor, went into Miss Harrison's S
room this morning shortly after 10
o'clock TO make the bed, and found her
attired only in a night gown and bath

to reach the telephone, as her body was

hours later.

Coroner Acritelli was convinced after
an hours talk with Mrs. Chesan that she
had not merited arrest and certainly was
not then IN a condition TO warrant her
further detention. and he called up BIagis-
trate Walsh and suggested that she be
released. The magistrate said he would
let her out on nominal bail and would see
that she had a chance to communicate
with 'riends, and called up the prison
officials and gave them instructions 70

The coroner then went TO the Varuna
apartments There he was met By Mr.
Mcbride and Mrs Crowley. To the cor
oner, Mrs. Crowley admitted that Mrs
Mcbride had not been attended by any
physicians She said that a DR.. Weston
had been notified. The coroner asked her
# there was any other person in attend
ance on the woman and she said that
her sister. Mrs Alice Chesan. was in
attendance. but she had to have her
arrested this morning she is now in

Coroner Acritell then placed a police
man on guard 10 stop all proceedings

10 DR.. Weston and ordered him to make
an autopsy.

ton replied. The coroner informed DR..
Weston that he would insist on an au-
topsy and further said he did not know
but he would ask one of the other cOro-
ner's physicians 10 make the autopsy,
as Dr. Weston had already given his
opinion that It was pneumonia which had
caused death.
DR. Weston made the autopsy tonight.
and said afterward that Mrs. Mcbride had
died Of pneumonia involving the right
lung. and pleuFisy on the right side. lie
could not say absolutely whether she
would have died or not had she had a
doctor, but he thought # was more than
likely.
