MISS HAYES
SUCCUMBs
WE'LL KNOWN AND MUCH BE-
LOVED ELY WOMAN DIES IN
SAN FRANCISCO HOSPITAL
BODY TO BE TAKEN TO IOWA.

A telegram was received early
yesterday afternoon announcing the
death OF Miss Ellen Hayes, at st.
Mary's hospital. San francisco.
The deceased left here about a
month ago to consult specialists on
the coast for stomach trouble, little
realizing she was afflicted with can
Ger in virulent form. Shortly after
reaching the hospital she was operat-
ed on, following which it became
evident that there was no chance
for her recovery. She was not ap-
prised of her serious condition and
while her friends here were notified
they were requested to keep it out
of the papers and avert unnecessary
pain for her.
BY the death of Miss Hayes the
community loses a pioneer, who at
all times had the welfare of
others at heart and whose numerous
charities are we'll known to the peo-
pie of the district. Before making
her home here the deceased lived for
a number of years at Eureka, where
she has host of friends who will
learn with pain of her death. She
moved to this district in the later
SOS and became associated with her
brother. William Hayes, in the
mercantile business, which brought
them a modest revenue, most OF
which was invested in real estate.
When the boom came a few years
ago she found herself the possessor
of considerable wealth,
The ground on which the Catholic
church now stands was given by the
deceased and she also furnished a
greater portion of the money to erect
the building. Several months ago
she presented to the new cathedral
at Salt Lake one of the finest organs
in the west, valued at $4,000
When the cathedral was thrown open

FOUND
NEAR TOWN
BADLY DEOOMPOSED-C
INDICATE MECHANIC, BUT
LONG HAIR RAISES QUESTION
AS TO AT :

Southwest of the residence of
Frank Root, in the hills back of
Mill street near the Indian encamp-
ment, the body of an unknown per-
son was found last evening by Indian
Tom. He made report of his dis
covery to Coroner Cartwright about
g, following which the body was
brought to the morgue, where I'm
quest will be held this morning at
z O'Clock.
The cllothing on the body, overalls
and bib, indicate the wearer to have
been a mechanic or an engineer of
about 5 feet 10 inches in height and
probably weighing 175 or $50 pounds
Blonde and smooth shayen. Unusual
ly regular front teeth may serve to
aid in his identification. Death oc-
Cured anywhere from week to ten
days ago and the body in con-
sequence is in badly decomposed
condition which will necessitate
burial at early time.
Condition of the body is such that
only the examination which will be
made by physicians this morning can
disclose whether violence had part
in the death. The flesh is falling
away from the bones. Long hair,
much matted with dirt and flesh
which has fallen away gave rise to
some speculation as to whether it
might not be that of a womon but
this doubt was hardly considered
seriously The body is the third
found in the same locality within the
last several months. 1t the other
cases it was established that violence
had no part.
No one has been rpeorted missing
in the last few weeks and there was
entire lack of any information
around town last night which could
be made use of in arriving at any
conclusion as to the identity of the
body in the morgue.

Abraham r. Beck, whose school he

OFFICERS TAKE UNUSUAL PRE-
CAUTIONS AGAINST SERIOUS
FRACTIONAL F'IGHTS--MURDER-
Gus ASSAULT YESTERDAY.

Due to the fact that they have Civ
en- the officers more trouble than all
other nationalities in the camp sew
eral times over, it looks as If the
Austrians who have. found employ
ment here are billed to go in re-
sponse to public protest against their
manner of conduct The latter has
been particularly aggravating during
the present week, which witnessed a
bloody Austrian affray at McGill on
Monday and another near Riepetown
yesterday morning, when four
Austrians held up and attempted to
beat a man against whom they had
formed grudge.
Internal dissensions are constant
ly at work to the end of violence
among the Austrians, If reports as
to the situation among them in the
district are true Lately these dis
sensions have been more aggrayar-
ed than ever and information that has
been coming to the hands of the
officers have led them to take un-
usual precautions to see that serious
affrays do not get underway Most
of the Austrians carry knives while
not few of them have guns. These
weapons are invariably drawn in the
course of their melees and constitute
a danger to the general public as well
as to the men making use OF them.

WHITE PLAINS, Aug. 3.-This
was alienists day again at the Thaw
hearing. DIR. Amos T. Baker, Of
Mattewan state hospital, whose testi-
mony occupied the session yesterday
afternoon was recalled at the OPEN

When the hearing had proceeded
to some length, Justice Mills again

Baker obtained the clearest state

Thaw's mental condition.
The witness said he did not con-

had to examine the prisoner were
sufficient to permit him the freedom
of satisfactory conclusion. Never
theless he held positively that in his
belief the prisoner is now insane and

period of exile for political reasons

An official statement issued In
Madrid tonight concerns the proposed
general strike there and says that
numerous masons failed to rep0r
for duty today but it is explained that
this was due to fear of a clash
with the unionists.
SPANS censorship tonight is more
inexorable than ever. No news has
been received from the various points
in the north where the trade unions
had planned a general strike for to
day, and therefore the actual condi
tions there and elsewhere can not be
stated.

TRAIN
Fifteen Hours Kansas City
to DanaS--Makin@
Schedule

Ell Reno, Okla, Oct THE new
fifteen-hour train from Dallas to Kan
sas City, soon to be put on by the
Rock Island, will probably not be seen
by many El Reno people, as it will
arrive here late at night The north
bound train will reach this city a little
before midnight and the southbound
will arrive here about an hour and a
half later. It is thought the two trains
will pass at Hennessey or Enid unless
arrangements are made to have them
pass in this city. Connections will be
made at Mcfarland from Colorado;
at Herington, Kan, from the south
west and California; at Ell Reno from
Eastern Oklahoma Memphis and Ann
arillo.
Some surprise was evidenced in
railroad circles when it became known
that the new fast passengers would
start from Kansas City instead of Chi
cago. However. close connections are
made at Kansas City with trains from
Chicago and st. Louis.
Officials of the company, Including
Superintendent Hallock are now at
Fort Worth at work on new fifteen
hour special The time given above
is not official and may be radically
changed.
The first protest registered thus far
comes from Kingfisher. That city
feels slighted that the new train did
not include this city in its schedule
and an official protest was lodged with
the company. This may induce Off
cials to change the schedule.
