that he would not be taken alive.
At 5 O'Clock in the morning he was

by telephone. At that hour it was ex-
pected that he would surrender
shortly.
At g o'clock McDonald's brother-in-
law, M. ]. Sitzer Of Cass Lake, who
took his sister from the house the
previous afternoon, went to the house
to complete an agreement Of surren-
der with Mcdonald. He knocked or
the door, but there was no response.
The sheriff repeated the summons
and still there was no sign of life in
the house. Then he pushed the door
open and he and Sitzer went in, call
ing for Mcdonald. They had not gone
far when they found him dead, with a
bullet hole through his head.
When Sheriff de Lury reappeared
outside and announced the death Of
Mcdonald the besieging citizens drew
cartridges and dispersed, returning
their guns to the sheriff.
Mcdonald shot Howard F. Sexton
Thursday evening in the Hotel Chase
because Sexton, who was acting as
clerk, refused to give him a drink.
The clerk dropped in his tracks with
two bullets through the lower lungs

Mayor Nathan Ascribes World
wide Publicity to Efforts

ROME, Nov. 21.-In a speech open
tng the session of the Municipal Coun-
ell today Mayor Nathan complained
that Interested h~otelkeepers abroad,

ports of the cholera epidemic in Italy,
thus serving 1.-The lower, interested
motives Of the clericals. who wish to
detrect from the success Of the festivi-
ties in 1911 in celebration of the procla-
nation OF Rome as the capital OF
United Italy"
Considering the influx of people from
the provinces to the capital, it was
jmpossihle, The mayor said. to avoid
sporadic cases in Rome. but measures
had been adopted to Isolate the sick
ami prevent %contagion. with the result
that in -four months there had been but
twenty three cases and eleven deaths
in the city, a less number than hal
occurred in Berlin, Vienna and Buda-
pest.
Nathan referred once more, but
briefly. TO his controversy with the
Vatican. and hinted at q possible CON
ncction between the artifcially spread
fears Of cholera and "the fears trun
peted in she name OF the health Of Tho
soul which mean war aga inst Rome

SEMl=NUDE BODY FOUND
IN THE MORRIS CANAL.
Man Believed to Have Beer En-.
ployed on C~analboat.

Floating IN the Morris canal near the
yards of Frederick S. Hobson, a coal
dealer, at 1873 Washington street, the
semi-nude body of a man was found at
/ o'clock this afternoon. Captain SEQ
deld, of j passing boat, saw the body
and notified the coal dealer, who CON-
municated with the First Precinct. po-
lice station.
The clothing had been torn off the
body from the waist up and the trou-
sers were of coarse material, leading to
the belief that tht man had been a
''canaler." The body, which evidently
had been in the water for about two
months, was that of a man between 40
and As years Of age. After the coroner
had peer notified and viewed the re-
mains he permitted its removal to a
morgue
After viewing the body a number OF
the canal boatmen declared they be-
lieved the dead man was formerly en-
played on one of the boats and that he
was thrown overheard during a fight.

Evidences OF Insanity.

thing was striking the ties, the motor
man of a Third e elevated train

So tightly was the body wedged in

and all trains were held up in both
directions while a wrecking crew was
sent for to raise the car.
The body was so badly mangled that
the features could not be identified.
The man was dressed in clergyman's
