FIRE RUMoR FALSE.
- |

Toronto Ont, July 17.-Govern- ment officials here believe the re- port of serious fire near the Hud- son Bay post at Fort Matachewan is merely a belated report of last weeks destructive fires in that vicinity. Rain has been falling for several days, according to official advices. and it is considered improbable that the flames have started afresh.

Whether Lansford Bryan ShocKIey, la young travelling horse trader, shot and perhaps fatally wounded tate yes- iterday afternoon by Detective Will
 Laughlin, who was one of a party of officers endeavoring to arrest the assailant of little 12year old Nellie
 Smith, was really the guilty man, or whether he was running to avoid ar rest because of some crime commit ted in Oklahoma, is question the police had not solved lasr night, af- ter a strenuous day of most remarka- ble incidents.
 While some few incidents connect him with the act of the morning, which startled the whole community, the description of the man does no, in any measure tally with that given by the young girl, and with the two principals in the situation both stricken to their beds. there is no hope of chance for Identification, at least within several days.
 Shockley is noncommunicassve. nis wife has talked some. and his fath- er has denied the guilt of the son. declaring positively that he can tura- ish an unquestioned alibi. The littie 10 year old brother of the wounded man is as noncommital as the others.
 Tue developments of the day open- ed with startling story from little Nellie Smith. the little daughter os Dave Smith. transfer and coal dealer of the city for the past 25 years. Nellie has been surrounded by several untoward incidents. The house of Dave Smith has been bur- glarized five times this summer, and each time tine room Of the child has been entered. On one occasion she was awakened and so startled as to be very nervous for long tune az terward.
 Five nights ago the house was en- tered and some articles stolen. The night before yesterday morning the house was again entered.
 Nellie had missed some schooling in the regular term, and was attend ing private school near the old place on Grand ave- nue. She did not get off the car yesterday morning promptly at the place she should have left it, accord ing to her story, and went about two blocks too far. taE
 Here the startling story begins. She was passing through sparsely wooden block near the school when she states that young man rode up to her, presented pistol, and told her not to scream. Then he made her get up with him on the saCdIe of his horse. chloroformed her with a handk- erchief, choked her, and drove away.
 She was next conscious about half a mile distant in a wooded patch, and the strange young man was skipping her in the face vigorously to arouse her from the stupor of the dhloro- form.
 A note was thrust in the handker- chief which was tied about her face. In this note a warning was given not to tell anything of the incident or she would be killed by August IT. The note is in the hands of the police.
 Tue girl gave a good description Of the man. He was of youthful ap- pearance, rather florid face, light red hair, freckled. wore striped small cap, and rode spotted pony which the girl described well.
 After making her way to the school the child told her story. Dave smith, the father. was immediately summon ed, and hurried the girl to Dr. Hall- an, who examined her. She was highly nervous. after the incident,
 her throat was bruised from the

James keeley, Editor of the Chicago Tribune is Expected to be the Next Important
 Witness.

Washington, July l7. The part ot ficials of the Edward Hines Lumber Company, took in the election of Sen ltor .-orimer to The senate claimed attention again today at the investi. gation by the senate Lorimer com niitee.
 William Burgess, an electrical con : tractor of Duluth. testified that C.. F. Heine, secretary of the Edward Hines Lumber Company remarked to him last March that he had subscriD- ec S10.000 to jack pot" to elect Lormer. Herman II H. Hettler, tho president of the Herman H. Hettler Lumber Company, of Chicago, q rl7al to the Hines copany. testified that on the day of the election Hines said ;o him that ne personally had elected Loiimer.
 On the other hand. Henry Furnish, aaother business man of Duluth, fail- ed tc bear out the testimony of Wiert II. Ccok. business associate to the effect that Hines said to them about the time of Lorimer's election that old Stephenson meaning Senator Stephenson, of Wisconsin, so Cook believed, after I elected him. was working for free lumber." And that the Southern democrats fluctuated in their attitude. Furnish said he re- membered nothing about the South ern democrats but heard Hines sa3 that Stephenson was undecided.
 Herman H. hettler, president OI the Herman ii, netiier Lumber Con. pany of Chicago, was the next witt ness. At~.thea Helm investigation he swore that Hines said to him at the Union League Club in Chicago at about the hour Lorlmer was elected:
 T elected him; did it myself per sonaily."
 Hines on the witness stand, denieu making the remark.
 MT. Hettler said afterward that a cigar stand employee at the Union League Club told him he overheard Hines remark to Hettler. Hettler said some lumberen were joking him and he questioned that eploye in or der to ascertain how they found it out.
 ''Ihey ltha lnmbermenl would say to me there goes your cousin Eddie,' when Hines passed by" MT. Het- tier testified.
 MT. Hines pressed the witness for the names of the Iokers. MT. Hettler protested, adding:
 The fellow who was responsible for my being ihere isn't popular with me"
 Finally, MT. Hettler reluctantly gave the names of James P. Soper, Gene Pierson and Charles w. link ley as the jokers.
 During the testimony of MT. Bur gess, the name of priest, Father Green" was brought into the case as having received confession from q detective that the detective was employed b. Chicago newspaper to gather "trumped up charges against Lorimer. !"
 Tomorrow it is expected that Jas. keeley, editor of the Chicago Trl- bune, will be on the stand.

choking, and her face showed plain ly that she had been severely slap
 ped, but no other assault had been
 cYnmitted.
 The father then had her taken home immediately, and gave himself over to the matter of aiding the of-
 ficers in ttc search for her assailant.
 The incident took place between S;3O
 o'clock and g o'clock. All morning Dave Smith and the
 police and county officers secured
 tue sections south of the city for a
 man and pony answering the descrip- tion given by the child. They had
 no success until fate in the after
 noon.
 About o'clock Deputy Sheriff
 Hardy Hinton and Dave Smith were driving out Central avenue when they
 met man and small boy on horses. The man rode a white horse. and the boy. Frank Shockley, rode a small spotted lony of exactly the descrip- tion given by the girl. Deputy Hinton stopped the two and asked lhem about the horse. The lelder man stated 1t belonged to his son.
 "Is that your son riding it?" ask. ed Hinton.
 "Yes.' answered the man.
 Was he the one riding it in town this morning.? asked the officer. The elder Shockley stated 1t was another son who rode the horse to town in the morning. The deputy asked where he was. and the answer was that Ee was out at their camp. Hinton then told the man that he would lave to go back to the camp with him aId they would see the oth- Ter son, and hesitatingly they started away.
 Hinton and Smith were fin a buggy. Just before they turned off from the Central avenue road to go to the camp the 10 year old youth on the spotted pony whipped up fast, and ran quick ahead, shouting They are after you"
 A young man, afterwards the vic- tim of the shots. came quickly into view. the little fellow jumped from the saddle, and the other took his place. Spurs were applied at once, and though Hinton yelled for the man Ito halt he went running away.
 The officer and MT. Smith could not give chase. They were in bug |gy and the other was on horse, and had gone out through the woods.
 Hinton could have fired before Shockley left. but he got one view |of the man. and the description was not sufficient for him to take chance on killing an innocent man, |so he bided his time. At the camp the elder Shockley, the son and the wife of the wounded man were reticent about the situa- ton as to why the other had ran away.
 Hinton remained about awhile, ana saw Ehe young fellow came back around the camp, but not in range. The officer and Dave Smith then came to town to summon others and to get fixed so they could give chase. Hinton noticed Winchester rifle In the camp when he left. i
 Returning later, and with other or- ficers, the men went into the camp. but the young Shockley was gone. So was the Winchester. It had been showed into the rifle scabbard tied to the saddle of the spotted pony. Sheriff Charley Webb. Deputy filn- ton and others were working in one direction. while Lieut. of Police Jue Lankford and Will Laughiin, mount cd. were working in anothcr. The
