Winnipeg. Oct 22.-Whcn the
mansiedA ands bAttR "a body OF John
Burns -was .rec6wSr a.s.s1a Tie yell o..
Rogers livery sart ss.. Gull Lake.
sask.. today the Royal Northwest
Mounted. Police of the district were
put upon the trail Of what it is be-
lieved will prove to have been a mur-
dertin which theft was the secondary,
If not the primary object.
John Burns was "a .well.to-do
homesteader of the Shaunavon district
about 45. miles from Gull Lake. He
came from Darlington, N. D., about a
year ago, taking up land in that dis
ftrlct:, In the summer months he was
working in Gull Lake and was known
TO carry. considerable money with him.
he was missed on August Z, but as he
was q bachelor and his homestead was
IS miles away and he had no connec-
tin IN Gull Lake, it was thought that
he had gone to Shaunavon and no fur
ther thought was given to it.
IN the drifting population of from
tier town the absence Of Burns was
soon out Of mind. The water in the
we'll at Rogers livery barn had been
becoming more and more putrid until
on Tuesday of this week horses re-
fused TO touch it. Mr.. Roger called
out his men and they set about clean.
ing the WELL,
Discover Dead Body.
The first man lowered into the we'll
discovered the body of man in the
we'll, and in spite Of the broken nose
and gashed scalp recognized the fea-
lures of John Burns. A rope was
quickly let down and a moose being
placed around the dead mans neck
the body was brought to the top. A
torn red sweater was also recovered
which had apparently been wrapped
around. the head Of the deceased to
stop the flow of blood while the body
was carried to the well. A hammer
and pipe wrench were found but It
Is thought that these tools had no
connection with the crime.
Had About $50.
When last seen the dead man had
$50 in his pocket. this was taken by
the murderer. The coroner from
Maple Creek WAS wired for and he
came. to Gull Lake and empanneled a.
jury tosinquire into tho cause Of death.
although the circumstance all seem to
be pointing to g verdict of murder.
the jury adjourned to a. later date
1t is understood that this move was
made to give the detectives who are
working on the case an opportunity
to get their clues together and also
to learn the wherea bouts of men who
are thought to know something about
the affair." The whole matter was
kept as quiet as possible with this end
in view.
One MAJ, Missing.
One clue which is believed to be re :
ceiving attention is that a man who
was employed by the hotel keeper to
haul brick for him left Gull Lake on
August Z. without telling anyone
where he was going. He had had no
trouble with his employer and had
four days pay coming to him which
he made no effort to collect. John
Burns. the victim OF the tragedy came
west from Darlington. n. d. and was
about Is years of age and unmarried.
In appearance he was short, stout and
bald headed. He seemed to be well
liked although somewhat rough in
speech and manners.

ADMIT THEY STOLE HOUSE.
Colored Men Confess They Took It
Away Little at Time.

An unusual charge was preferred
against Samuel alias "Sinlscy" Jefferson,
and David Price in the Police Court to-
day Both men, who are colored, pleaded
guilty to stealing a brick house.
In the testimony given in the hearing,
which was held before Judge Pugh, 1t
developed that the men had not carried
the house away bodily, but after it had
been torn down. The house formerly
stood at 1923 18th street northwest, and
was the property of Silas S. Daish of
1909 10Th street northwest.
Mr. Daish happened to walk by his
property on 18th street the other day, and
nearly all of the bricks had vanished.
He complained to the police of the third
precinct, and Detective Stringfellow yes
terday rounded up the two men, who,
the police say, made clean breast of the
whole matter.
A charge of grand larceny was first
filed against them, but this was later re-
duced to six charges of larceny, to all
of which the prisoners. entered pleas OF
guilty, through their attorney, A. W..

MAY ANNUL CONCESSION
President MenocaI of Cuba
Rules Against Ports I'M
provement Company.

HAVANA, August 5.-Following a cab
met meeting, President Menocal yester-
day signed n decree which will have an
important effect on the Ports Improve
ment Company of Cuba, which has long
been the subject of bitter attack in the
press. The company is composed of
American capitalists and holds conces-
sions for the dredging of harbors and
carrying out other improvements in
various ports, in return for which it is
permitted to collect a surtax on the mer-
chandise of incoming vessels.
The decree declares that the company
has not fulfilled all the provisions of the
law under which it is permitted to do
business and that therefore the secretary
of the treasury will Immediately suspend
payment of tonnage dues, on which the
company largely depends to defray its
cost of operations.
IT says also that the secretary of
public works will Immediately take
charge or the company'S works in all
Cuban ports and that the secretary of
justice viii begin proceedings, based on
the contention that the company has
failed to comply with the terms of the
concession granted it, to annul the con-
cession and recover the amounts of
money alleged to have been paid in
excess of the work alleged actually to
have been performed. reserving the
right to prosecute and punish any per-
son guilty of offenses in connection
with the concession granted the COM
pany under the law of February 20,
1911, which was approved by President
Gomez.
The action of the president is the
cause of much excitement here. Friends
of the administration warmly approve
of the decree while it's opponents de-
clare that it was issued with the pur-
pose of strengthening the administra-
ton by greatly increasing it's patron
age under the public works depart
ment.
that they have faithfully carried out
all their obligations and deny the
presidents right to annul an act of
the Cuban congress without submitting
the case to the courts.
