Politics In Chaos.
The political situation in Iowa is In
chaos. The thought that death would
end Mr.. Delivers term had never been
entertained. 1t had been expected
that he would not only complete his
term, but be given another term. The
campaign had been carried on wholly
without thought az the senaaorship.
If Deliver had died a week ago it
would have teen possible to submit
the senatorship to the voters as a
primary proposition IN the day OF cleo
ton. 1t is too late now. The governor

STANLEY KETCHEL SHOT
MIpoLEWEIGAT CHAMPION PuGl'
LIST succUM5s
Ranch Hand in Missouri Flees After
Infieting a Mortal Wound
Two Causes For Trouble.

Springfield, Missouri. - Stanley ket'
chel. champion middleweight pugil'
ist OF the world, is dead as a result or
being shot by Walter A, Hurtz, a
ranch hand.
The shooting took place on the
ranch Of Il. p. Dickerson, a friend OF
Ketchel near Conway, forty miles east
Ok here.
The p~urilist died in the Springfield
hospital, where he had been rushed on
a special train chartered by Mr.. Dick
erSon. Three physicians were on the
rain. An operation was performed on
Netchel at the ranch house in an at
tempt to locate the bullet. 1t vas not
found.
After shooting Ketchel, who vas at
the breakfast tab G when he was shot,
Hurtz rushed from the house into the
yard. He then faltered a moment,
turned and went back into the
where kctchel lay upon the floor
Reaching into Ketchel's pocket he re-
moved the pugilist's 80 caliber revol-
yer, and struck him over his head with
it. Then he ran from the house.
The trouble between Ketchel and
Hurtz started when the pugilist up
braided the ranch hand for beating
a horse. This angered Hurtz.
Hurtz was captured at the home OF
Thomas Haggard, one mile from Man
qua, Mo. Hurtz was taken to the Web

he is being closely guarded.
After being placed in his cell the
prisoner made a statement in which he
said he shot Ketchel in self-defense.
He says he ordered the prizefighter to
throw up his hands, and when he
did not obey him he fired.
Mrs. Smith, hOusekeeper, assigns
another cause for the shooting.
Another Reason for Shooting.

she said, "KetChel insulted me, | be-.
came angry. He was greatly wrought
up over the incident and pleaded with
NE not to say anything to Hurtz about
u conversation. He said he would
give me the best team of horses on
the farm if l would keep quiet. When
Hurt came home | told him what
Ketchel had said to me. He was very
angry. | think that is what caused
him to kill Ketchel."
Ketchel wen to the ranch a month
ago. Weakened by the fast life he
had led since his defeat by Jack John
son, the fighter hoped to recuperate.
The dead pugilist's real name was
Stanislaus Kiecal. He was born in
Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. IA. 1887,
and was, therefore but little more than
% years old. His parent are still liv-
ing in Michigan, where he had bought
property for them. Sunday was the
first anniversary of his fight with
Jack Johnson.
Goldie Smith, the woman in the
case, has been taken to the Webster
county Jail and will be held pending
an inquest.

Fort Dodge, IOwa.-Jonathan Prem
tics Deliver, senior United States
senator from Iowa, died at his home
here Saturday evening, while a physi-
clan stood over him making an exam
nation of his heart with a s~tethosCOpe.
Death came without a moments
warning, and DR.. f. NJ. Vanivetten,
who was making the examination,
when the instrument stopped, thought
the stethOscope had been broken. He
looked up into the face Of the senator
to find that, silently and with tragic
~suddenness, the death messenger had
called the soul of the statesman.
Heart trouble was alone the cause
OF the death, and the minor ills which
have been %bothering the senator dur
ing the last three weeks had little
effect on his passing. Although Sen
ator Dolliver had been i'll for three
weeks or more, during the last few
days he had been up and around, even
as late as 2 p. m. today.
The colleagues of the dead senator
were early to offer their coincidence,
and there were many words of sympa-
thy from the statesmen and diplomats
of Washington.

Margaret and Frances, and her sou
