STANLEY KETCHEL DEAD
Midd|eweight Champion Slain
by Missouri Farmland.

Springfield. Mo-, Oct. 17.-Stanley
Ketchel, champion middleweight pugi-
list of the world, died here as a result
of being shot by Walter A, Hurtz. a
ranch hand. The shooting took place
on the ranch Of R. P. Dickerson, a
friend of Ketchel, near Conway. forty
miles east of here.
An hour before he died Ketchel re.
gained consciousness. There was then
thought to be a slight chance for his
recovery. His condition soon took a
decided change for the worse, how
ever. and he passed away quickly.
The pugilist died in the Springfield
hospital. where he had been rushed on
a special train chartered by Mr.. Dick.
erson.
The trouble between Ketchel and
Hurtz is said to have started when the
pugilist upbraided the ranch hand for
beating a horse.
Walter A. Hurtz, who shot and
killed Ketchel, was captured at the
home of Thomas Haggard, one mile
from Miangu, Mo. Hurtz was taken
to the Webster county Jail at Marsh.

SEVERE STORM SWEEPS CUBA
Island Suffers Greatest Property Loss
in Her History.

Havana, Oct. 1S.-The Island of
Cuba has probably sustained the
greatest material disaster in all her
history in the practically continuous
cyclone which began with light rains
on Thursday morning, developing into
torrential floods and devastating hur-
ricanes and continuing until last even
ing. The western half of the island
suffered more severely than the east.
The first cyclone, of which there
was some warning, had hardly abated
or Sunday night when suddenly the
wind, which up to then had been
southeast, changed to southwest, and
with renewed fury the cyclonic blasts
swept over Matanza, Pinar del Rio and
Havana provinces, completing the de.
struction wrought by the first storm.
1t is impossible to estimate even
roughly the amount of the damage,
which doubtless will aggregate many
millions of dollars. In addition to the
great destruction to sugar and tobac-
co plantations, many thousands of
peasants in the three western prov
inces have been rendered homeless
and destitute by the loss of their
homes and the food crops, especially
plantations of corn. 1t now seems
probable that the republic may be com.
PEELED to request international aid for
them.

reasonable conjecture in the minds of
their friends and supporters is thai
they are still pointing toward thei,
goal. 1t is the natural contention that
lack of definite new by no means de.
tracts from the hopeful outlook, and
that the failure to receive a message
implies merely that either no steam
ship has come within the Americas

} The most definite information on
which the position of the airshir

came in a late opinion from the
weather bureau that she may have
been forced south Of the desired route

Heart Failure.

Fort Dodge, Ia, Oct. Ex-senator
Jonathan P. Dolliver, one of the coun.
try's leading progressives, died at his
residence here at 1880 o'clock tonight,
while II of his physicians, DR.. E. NJ.

Senator Dolliver was ffty.two years

attack Of stomach trouble which af.
tected his heart. His physicians an.
nonnced tonight that his death was
directly due to dilation of the heart.
Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver was
born neal Kingwood, w. Va, Feb. 6,
1858. He was graduated from the
University Of West Virginia in 1875

ENLlvENs THE CAMPAIGN
Decision Of North Dakota Court Is
Popular.

No decision of the state supreme
court in recent years has had such a
peculiar effect upon the political situa-
ton of the state as has the decision
by which the 80 per cent clause of the
primary election law is declared un-
constitutional. The decision has had
Che effect of placing a full Democratic
ticket in the field, whereas there had
previously only been two candidates
in addition to the railroad commits
sioners and the candidates for gov
ernor and lieutenant governor.
In addition to the candidates on the
state ticket the decision has also had
the effect of placing on the ballot the
names of about $50 candidates for
various county and legislative offices
over the state. 1t will put new heart
into the Democratic campaign, as with
a full ticket in the field it means that
more men will be or the stump.
From both camps of the leading
political parties in the state have
come expressions of approval at the
decision of the supreme court. 1t
means that the Republican central
committee, which has heretofore been
compelled to labor for the election of
one or two candidates, with the other
candidates on the ticket having no
opposition, will now have the united
support of every one of the state can
didates. 1t means that all of them

TO INCREASE THE COUNTY
Nine Townships May Change Their
County Seat.

Commissioners of Bottineau county
have ordered an election to submit
the proposition of allowing nine town
ships in the western end of the county
to attach themselves to Renville coun-
ty. These townships are far removed
from Bottineau, which is the county
seat, while the greatest distance to
any point in the townships from Mo.
hall, the county seat of Renville coun.
ty, is only about eighteen miles.
Both Bottineau and Renville coun-
ties vote on the question and a major.
ity of the vote in the two counties will
decide. The townships involved are
Wheaton, Perry, Sherman, Cut Bank,
Renville, Gordon, Mount Rosa, Lans-
ford and Jefferson.
Should the new townships be added,
there will be a new and interesting
feature added to the Renville county
seat contest. as Lansford would then
be in the contest.
