A Whitechapel Crime IN the City
y 0f Chicago.
SOME SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS.
Clerk Says He Sold the Rope to Luman
C. Mann, Son of Wealthy Man
Woman's Watch and Key to Her
Room Found in Mann's Possession
identified as Companion of Woman.

Chicago Especially Positive iden-
tification of Duncan C. Mann, son
of Orville c. Mann, wealthy resident
of Oak Park, as the purchaser OF
the rope which bound Mrs. Frances
Thompson in her death struggles, the
discovery of the key in his pocket
! which is said to fit the door to the
death chamber in the house at 1912
Michigan Avenue, and the recovery
of a watch from Mann's pocket, al
legged to belong to the murdered
woman, form the important develop
ments In the Thompson murder mys-
terry.
The finding of the key on ring
in the accused mans pocket which
was identified by Mrs. Alice Hamil-
ton, housekeeper at the Michigan
Avenue rooming house, as one to the
bed chamber in which was found
the nude body of the Thompson
woman, mutilated and tied with a
heavy clothesline, on the afternoon
of July 2, was one of the sensational
developments. Mrs. Hamilton was
positive in her statements.
Walter A. Buckstrap, a clerk VINO
sold the rope that was found about
the murdered woman's throat ana
body, identified Mann as the person
who had purchased the stranger 8
cord. He declared that he could
not be mistaken.
A lady,s watch with the monogram
letters 80. Pr on the back of 1T,
is also another important clew. The
police declare it belonged to the muir
dered woman.
The letters on the watch cores
pond with the letters found on the
handkerchief stuffed in the murder
ed woman's throat.
The case was continued to Octo-
Der 19, upon request of attorneys
{ for the defendant, and bail furnished
at $4,000. Mann, in his cell at
the Harrison Street police STATION,
denied all charges made against MIN,
and declared that he could prove an
alibi. One of the principal witness
es in his favor, he declared, Will pc
Miss Daisy Potts, daughter or q real
estate dealer of this city, and
student at the University Of limos.
On her and his three sisters, he said,
he relies to prove that on the night
of the murder he was at the OAK
Park home of his father.
After his arraignment in court
Mann was taken to Inspector of Po-
lice Wheeler's Office. Here he was
confronted by Mrs. Anna Wallace,
a manicurist at, the time of the
murder, who occupied room In the
house at 1912 Michigan Avenue,
where, the murder was committed.
When the woman was ushered into
the room the prisoner appeared con
siderably agitated. According TO n
spector Wheeler, the woman ldentl-
fed Mann as the companion OF MIS-.
Thompson.

Circle has about the same position
relative to Gellivara that 1t has to
the Endicott mountains in Alaska,
but the railroad makes it much cas-
Ter to reach this Lapland town than
any other place where the midnight
sun may be seen to equal advantage.
The most remarkable object that
the traveller sees on the trip to the
Atlantic is Mount Kinunavara, 1850
feet high and nearly two miles long.
About so per cent by weight of it's
rock is iron.
In time the whole mountain will
be dug away and there will be very
deep hole where it now stands, for it
is all the richest kind of iron ore;
and there is estimated to be about
233, 100000 tons of it, The big min
ing town of Kiruna has grown up
beside the iron mountain, and six
long trains every day carry the ore
to Narvik
Across the Lapland moors the
scenery is monotonous, but it is of
the finest character among the
mountains and waterfalls of Norway,
as the train approaches the Atlantic,
and few sights in Europe surpass
that which is presented when Narvik
on the great Ofoten ford suddenly
bursts into view and the swelling
sails on the broad channel are seen
a thousand feet below the railroad.

COWBOY SHOT OUT THE GAS.
Then Went to Sleep and Was Nearly
Asphyxiated.

Grover Brennan, Sheridan coun-
ty (Wyoming) cowboy who went to
New York to join the Buffalo Bill
Show, has qualified for a job in Col.
Cody's outfit.
Grover put up at the Putnam
House. A bell hop" took him to
his room, lit the gas for him, and
left him with his inexperience and
his siX-shooter. Grover turned in
and found himself annoyed by the
still lighted gas jet. Reaching for
his holster he got his gun and fired
at the light. Grover can do that
sort of thing very we'll. The light
went out and Grover went to sleep.
Next morning Gail Townsend, an
other cowboy visited Growers room
to arouse him. He smelIed gas,
found Grover slumbering too heav-
lily for natural sleep and called a
physician. The Sheridan county re-
.cruit had to be taken to Bellevue to
be resuscitated.

will wait upon Grover when he thor

pensities of Illuminating gas, dyna-

ONLY ARCTIC RAILWAY OPEN
1T HAS CROSSED TO THE LAND
OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
Some of the Wonderful Things Found
There. A New itinerary Is Of
fered the Globe TrOtter.

A new itinerary is offered to the
bored globe trotter. 1t is now posi-
bic for him to travel in Lapland, the
land of the midnight sun, in a sleep
ing car. This luxury, however, is
supplied only during the three sum
mer months when tourists may be
enticed to cross the polar circle and
travel for 270 miles on the only Arc
tic railroad yet built
This is the railroad that was first
pushed north of the Arctic Circle to
carry the iron ore of Gellivara down
to the Baltic for shipment to Ger
many and England. A million tons
OF ore are hauled down to the port of
Lulea every year, and much of it is
stored there in winter and awaiting
the steamers that come when navi-
cation begins
Within few years the Solar road
has been extended 200 miles west to
the Atlantic, where the ice free port
of Narvik has been built Summer
and winter ships are always loading
there with iron ore, and they carry
away about 100000 tons a year.
To iron ore, which is the mainstay of
traffic, the railroad is now adding an
increasing number of tourists
All passenger trains on one of the
lines to the City of Mexico stop at the
monument near the track on which
is inscribed in Spanish The Tropic
of Cancer" Everybody gets out to
see what the tropic looks like.
So trains on this Arctic railroad
halt in the middle of peat bog,
where board stands erect bearing
the word 'Polcirkeln The sur
roundings of the Polar circle at the
point where tourists see them are
quite disappointing.
But there is much worth seeing at
the thriving town of Gellivara. and
on the mountain near the town the
midnight sun is visible from June 5
to July II, or for 81 nights. 1t is the
boast of the people of Gellivara that
the midnight sun may be seen from
their town for longer time than at
any other reasonable accessible spot
on the earth.
This Is doubtless true. The Polar
