FRO RE Continued
Found Dead In the Woods.


John Denny. Jr., aged twenty-three
years, was found dead in a woods near
Upper Providence, Chester county
Pa, under conditions which strongly
point to his having been murdered. a
large hole had been torn in the lower
portion Of his face by a charge Of
shot.
Denny started from his home in this
place on Friday to so hunting for
rabbits He carried a magazine gun
and plenty of ammunition, and was
seen late in the afternoon going to-
ward the woods where he was found.
He was then walking with a tall man.
The suggestion that he was the vic
tim Of an accident or shot himself is
discounted by the fact that his gun
and ammunition and all OF his Yalu-
ablss had been taken. Beside the body
was found adilapidated cap. His own
hat also lay nearby. Several shattered
twigs were also picked up in front Of
the body. These bits OF wood the au-
thorities say show that the charge OF
shot came from some distance away
and not from Denny's own gun.
A superficial examination Of the
wound in Denny's face seems also to
indicate that two charges struck him
and that the shot was not OF the size
he used. The police have arrested
three negroes, who admit they talked
with Denny early on Friday afternoon,
but they declare they know nothing Of
the shooting.

aIaIn Rx RIvaI on RrIdaI Tour.


On her. bridal trip, which had begun
scarcely an hour before. and seated
in a railroad coach bound for New Or
leans, almost between her husband and
a former suitor for her hand. Mrs.
Fred Van IHRen saw the nash Of the
suitors revolver, felt the grip Of her
husbands hand as the bullet killed
him, and then fought for her own life.
When the girl appeared about to be-
come the victim of the second bullet
from the revolver, her uncle, q man
with gray hair, but cool under the ex-
citement, rushed up and thrust his
thumb beneath the hammer OF the re-
volver, rendering the weapon harm
less.
This was the story the other passen-
gers on the Texas & Pacific Cannon
ball" told when they reached New Or
leans. but the principal actors in the
tragedy, most OF whom are connected
with Louisiana's leading families,
have so far refused to discuss the
matter.
The former suitor is F. S. Beauvre,
Of Plaquemine, La, at which place he
was taken from the train and placed
under arrest. The unfortunate hus-
band was Professor Fred Van Ingen,
a prominent teacher of Alexandria,
La, and a relative of former Governor
Blanchard. The bride is the daughter
Of James NJ. Rhorer, one of the leading
officials OF Iberville parish, residing
at Baton Rouge. Beauvre is twenty
four years old, and Van Ingsn was
tWenty-three.

Reduction The, Does Not Reduce

The action OF the etate railroad COM
mission III making an alleged reduction
of passenger rates on the Southern Pa
ciic, is open, to cay the least, to severe
criticism.
The reduction applies only to round
trip rates. it's Il reductlon-on paper
but it doesn't reduce because the rail
road does not often sell round trip
tickets.
Should the same agreement be made
with the roads running out Of Rhyoite,
would it benefit the traveller?
Not on your life, because there is no
round trip rate between local points.
The railroad commissions action in
this matter will certalnle be viewed
with suspicion by the travelling public
of Nevada.-RhyoEte Bulletin.
