Sherman came out, when he re-
turned to the house and again COM
menced asking questions Of his wife,
who admitted to him that she had
been upon intimate terms with
Frank, and that they had planned to
go away together this fall. Remark
ing, What is life worth, anyway"
he threatened to commit suicide,
and, taking the gun from a nail and
cartridge from shelf, he started
out of the house, when his wife
asked: Whom are you going to
shoot, me?" To which he replied,
No, ! think too much OF you," after
which he started for the barn, where
he met Frank In one of the stalls,
with this remark:
Frank. 1t is about time we had
reckoning. You are too intimate
with my wife," to which Sherman re-
piled, "No, l am not.
He went out the door, closing 1t
behind him, when Squirting attempt
ed to follow him, but found the door
held from without. On the third at
tempt to force the door 1t was par
TALLY opened, and an effort made by
Sherman to grab the gun barrel,
which was turned toward his breast.
when 1t was discharged, the contents
entering the body, after which he at
tempted to get to the house. Mrs.
Squirting, hearing the explosion of
the gun, ran out from the house in
time to see Sherman fall within 20
feet of the door, when he exclaimed,
MY God, he has shot me-"
Upon Spurling's return to the
house he and his wife agreed to state
they had had a quarrel, and be-
Squirting, had decided to kill him
self, when both she and Frank en-
deavored to get the gun away from
him, thus causing an accidental ex-
plosion of the weapon. This story
they chung to until the arrival of the
sheriff, when the two were separated
and made to repeat the story over
again, when It was told in such a
different manner as to arouse sus-
picion.
The verdict was: Frank f. Sher-
man met death as the result Of gun
shot wounds at the hands of e. d.
Squirting"

Memorial to Saint Gaudens.
A public meeting this afternoon
serves as an Introductory to the
memorial exhibition of the works of
the late Augustus Saint Gaudens, to
be opened in the newly modelled hall
Of sculpture at the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art on Monday. Aside
from the sentimental aspect of the
exhibition, it will serve to refute the
statement of foreign critic that
America has produced no great
sculptor. Gazing upon the collec-
ton of the masterpieces of Saint
Gaudens, the detractor of American
art will find an unanswerable argu-
ment to his calumnies. The exhib-
it's will embrace the entire range of
the genius of Saint Gaudens, from
his first notable statue, Silence, !"
completed at Rome in 1878, to his

coin, which is to be placed in Chi
cago. Many of the original statues
have been loaned by the owners and
others will be shown in perfect
plaster casts.

of Milan, is expected to arrive in
New York to assume charge of the

Prisoners JOY Unrestrained Because
He Escapes Federal Lookup.
PORTLAND. Ore, Feb. 29.-Hor-
ace G. Mckinley, convicted of land
frauds in this state, was sentenced
to serve two years in the Multnomah
county jail and to pay a fine Of
$1,000. Mckinley was wildly excited
when he learned he was not to be
sent to McNeil's island and his joy
was unrestrained. 1t is understood
that the light sentence imposed is
preliminary to Mckinley becoming a
witness for the government In cases
yet to be called.
Marie Ware Mckinley, deserted by
Horace Mckinley when he left for
the orient two years ago in company
with Little Egypt" dancer, and
who was reunited with her husband
upon his arrival in San Francisco
two weeks ago, heard the sentence
pronounced upon the prisoner in the
United States district court this
morning.
But Mrs. Mckinley was not in the
courtroom, she was In an anteroom.
The door was only partly closed and
Mrs. Mckinley was able to hear the
fate of her husband announced and
at the same time evade the gaze of
the curious.
As soon as Judge wolverton had
sentenced Mckinley his wife Joined
him in the corridors, Later she ar
ranged to be admitted to the jail
where Mckinley is to be confined.

SPOKANE RATE CASE
Rumor That an Agreement Has Not
Been Reached.

AsesAhVN AhAN hH hBEteAAAshO HAS MOI
Been Reached.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 29.-
Attorneys H. M. Stephens of Spokane
and ]. N. Teal, representing the
shippers. and w. w. Cotton, general
counsel, representing the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company, are
here ready for the lumber cases,
which involve freight rates on north
west lumber bound for states east
OF the Rockies.
The Potlatch Lumber company's
case was before the commission to-
day.
1t is reported here that the COM
mission is finding difficulty in agree
Ing on a decision on the Spokane
freight rate case. Spokane's conten-
tion Is that freight rates are too
high. 1t is impossible to confirm the
report or differentiate between the
members as to individual opinion,
without guessing, but delay in the
final decision lends color to the belief
that the commissioners have not
reached a consensus of opinion.

The election of former Governor

The election of former Governor
Bradley as senator from Kentucky
by democratic votes is an exemplifi-
cation Of the unusual in politics. For
many years Kentucky belonged to
what was known as "the solid south"
and could be counted upon at all
times for the democracy. But, like
most states where big majorities are
the rule, Kentucky became corrupt
and the people have cut down the
majority 1t until It required four
votes to elect republican senator,
and these we're found In four demo-
Gratis who would not support Beck
ham, the regular democratic nom
inee. The result will prove bene-
fetal to Kentucky by helping to
break down ring rule, and II the re-
publicans of Pennsylvania would ad-
minister the same kind of medicine
to their political bosses 1t would clear
the atmosphere in that state. There
are other states which need the same
sort OF a purgative and we believe
the people are becoming independent
enough to administer 1t. The man
who Is SO blinded by partisan preju-
dice that he will be led into support
ing any candidate placed before him
is not looking for the best interests
OF the people.

NEWS, VIEWS AND GOSSIP
Doings Of People in the Great Ameri-
can City.
(By Glenn Guernsey

(By Glenn Guernsey
NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-When Les
lie NJ Shaw abandoned his honored
and honorable position as secretary
of the United States treasury, to cast
his lot with the bovines and Teddy
bears of Wall street, his admirers out
in Iowa predicted for him brilliant
future as a financier. Truth to tell,
Mr.. Shaw has not made good-not, at
least, according to the Wall street
standard. He has resigned his $780,
900 year job as president of the
Carnegie Trust company and will re-
tire tomorrow. Ostensibly this action
was due to his desire to become
president OF the United States.
Praiseworthy as is this ambition, the
hnanciers receive this explanation
with a grain of salt. Mr.. Shaw is by
no means a fool, and he probably
knows that his chance of landing the
plum is about as remote as that of
Eugene v. Debs or Emma Goldman.
Mr.. Shaw apparently realizes that
he has not been successful in assimi-
lating the Wall street atmosphere,
necessary to the profitable conduct
of great financial institution. This
is not to his discredit-rather the re-
verse. While he has never had an
open quarrel with his associates in
the management of the trust COM
pany, there have been constant diff
ferences of opinion. These finally
led to the fiat-footed proposition that
he could either buy out or sell out.
He accepted the latter proposition.
While Mr. Shaw's Wall street ex-
perience has been unsatisfactory to
his colleagues, it has not been with
out profit to himself. His one years
incumbency as president of the Car
negie Trust company has netted a
profit of Sill, 900. OF this sum only
$4,000 is salary, the balance rep
resenting a bonus on his shares of
the trust company's stock, bought at
$3.50 a share and sold back to the
controlling interests at 5000 a share.
1t is likely that when the former
secretary Of the treasury closes up
his affairs this afternoon, he will
utter a sigh of relief. His financial
experience has been a rather strenu-
Gus one. While the Carnegie Trust
company safely weathered the flnan-
cial storm that wrecked so many
other Wall street craft, the skipper
had his moments and hours of ankle
ty. There is a we'll defined rumor
that at one time during the recent"
panic the trust company was forced
to call for help upon Andrew Carne-
gle. The steel king has no financial
interest in the institution. but senti-
mental reasons led him to respond
nobly to the call for assistance.
Mr.. Shaw supplies another notable
example of the man who is able to
make a brilliant success of his ca
reer in other sections of the country,
but who fails lamentably in New
York. There are thousands of such
failures in New York, brilliant men
with enviable records in other cities,
men in all walks of life, who find
themselves insists in New York, and
yet, like moths dazzled by flame,
abandon all hope of wealth and
fame for a struggling existence in
the metropolis. Mr.. Shaw has ex-

Hereafter habitual drunkards In this
