OBITUARY..

Sunday morning, Feb. 18th,
William Henry Gallup passed
away at his residence two miles
northwest of town. For several
months friends have known that
his condition was critical, as tu-
berculosis of the lungs was grad
ually wearing down his physical
strength in spite Of all that ten
der nursing, loving care and the
counsel of three physicians could
devise.
Mr.. Gallup was born at New
Fame, Niagara Co., New York,
April IL, 1856. In 1880 he came
to Casselton, N. Oak, and for 10
years was engaged in business
with his brother, Ruel Gallup.
He was married to Miss Kathryn
Mcdonald February 26, 1898, and
to this union was born one son,
Frank, who is now II years Of
age, and a daughter who died in
infancy. Mr.. Gallup is survived
by his wife, a son, and a brother,
Ad. Gallup of Grand Rapids,
Mich.
The deceased was a beneficiary
member of Hope Camp No. 1928
M. W, A., and every kindness
possible was done by them to re-
lieve as much as possible the anx-
iety and care incident to a long
illness. The Camp had charge
of the funeral service which was
held in the Congregational Churh
and despite the severe weather a
large company were present. At
the conclusion of the sermon and
singing by the quartet the Wood
men took charge and marched
in a body to the cemetery where
the burial service was read by
Mr.. E. W. Hanson, Venerable
Consul. The pail bearers were
Geo. King, Robt. McC lelland, H.
F. Sanders, D. j. Gumb, VIM.
Bratz and Ernest Thorn.
On account of sickness neither
Mr.. AID. Gallup nor a nephew,
VIM. Gallup of Casselton were
able to be present at the funeral.
The latter is now on the Pacific
coast in hope to better his health.
Mrs. Gallup and son Frank will
continue to live on the farm for
the coming year.

STOLE 4 MTsER;s 81, 900.

The prediction, often made to Joshua
Higgans. that he would be robbed OF
his lifetime savings because he did not
trust banks, came true Sunday, when
robbers entered the house while the old
man slept and secured a sum estimated
from $4,000 to 5000 in gold, silver
and paper 1t has been known for
many years that Higgaus, who lives
alone, four miles west Of Gumboro,
Del, kept thousands OF dollars secreted
in his home.
The old man made his money by
farming and fishing and up until few
years ago was a money-lender, but
suddenly became imbued with the idea
that those TO whom he had loaned
money intended to beat him out OF it,
and calling in all his wealth, he hoard
ed it.
Mr.. IIiggans says he was aroused
about 8 O'Clock yesterday morning by
strange noises and, jumping from bed,
ran quickly to where the trunk was
stored. He became frantic upon find
ing it gone. Selling a shotgun he ran
from the house and fired several shots
in various directions, hoping TO frighten
the thieves so that they would drop the
money He finally called neighbOrs to
assist in the search, but no tracks could
be found. In the money stolen was
about g, ZOO in gold.

The Cripnen Murder.

London, July 19.-More details of
the methods used by DR.. II. H. Grip
pen in numbering his wife, Belle
Elmore. the American actress, are
coming to light, and operatives from
Scotland Yard declare the crime one of
the most brutal in British criminal
annals.
A large force of workmen, with Crap
ping hooks, began dragging Regents
Canal today in the hope of finding the
head. hands and feet Of the woman, to-
gether with other parts Of the torso.
Some believe that DIR. Crippen dissolved
the bones in a vat Of Sulphuric acid.
The fiendish intelligence with which
the murder was committed AMI the
wiping out Of proof Of murder stamps the
missing physician as an abnormally
acute criminal.
In the hole in the cellar the police
found large chunks OF human flesh,
together with bloody pajama coat,
handkerchief and other pieces OF cloth.
The whole was buried in caustic lime,
the flesh being terribly corroded by the
chemical action. The anatomists have
been able, by microscopic tests. to
determine definitely that the flesh came
from human body. But no head,
hands nor feet could be located. Not
IA single bone was found in the cellar.
The flesh had been pared away from
the skeleton as though by skillful dis
sector. No portion Of the flesh was
large enough for the physicians to
determine whether the victim was
man or woman. An arrest at Canter-
bury today led to report that the
alleged murderer had been arrested,
but it later developed that the man was
not Crippen,
The police authorities today offered
reward OF $3.50, for the apprehension
OF DR.. Crippen. According to the
statement accompanying the offer Of
reward, DIR. Crippen left his Office at |

strike situation Becoming More Serious
DaiIy-General Uprising Feared.

Bilboa, Spain, July 19.-Martial law
in the strike ridden district was today
refused by the government, although
the larger employers, whose thousands
of hands are on strike, have made ur-
gent appeals for the suspension of the
constitution and rule by the military.
The government officials fear that the
declaration OF martial law will be the
sign for an instant rebellion and that
bloody fighting, such as occurred all
over Spain early in the year, will fol-
low. For that reason the request was
temporarily refused, though thousands
of Spanish veterans who are known to
be loyal are concentrating in this dis
trict ready for instant action.
The general strike situation is grow
ing more serious each day, the labor
agitators meeting with great success
in their efforts to paraIyze the industries
OF the nation as a protest against the
action OF the government. There is an
air OF untoward anxiety manifested
about the war and home offices, active
preparations being under way to quell
a revolt in its incipiency. 1t is not de-
MED that a general uprising in the
revolutionary districts is feared by the
government.
