son recommended the native commits

Arrival of G. w. Graham at Nc
Gregor Revives Old
Stories.
GRAHAM USES NEW MACHINE
Led to Fort Crawford, Where He
Thinks Gold is Sc
creted.
GRAHAM USES NEW MACHINE

McGregor, Ia, Oct. 16.-The ar
rival of C. w. Graham with a newly
patented gold locating machine TO
hunt for the gold that is supposed
to be buried in one of the hills near
McGregor has revived interest in the
old tradition of buried treasure.
The stories date back to the days
81 Fort Crawford and early troubles
with the Indians. A variety of tales
have been handed down.
One is that several soldiers from
the fort crossed the Mississippi at
one time to McGregor's landing with
$4,000 in gold on their way to Fort
Atkinson to pay off the garrison. On
landing here they were surprised and
killed by Indians but not before hey
had had time to bury the gold on one
of the hills, supposedly the Heights
hill now used as a summer resort.
Another story has it that on a
threatened attack on Fort Crawford,
two soldiers were sent off in a canoe
to bury quantity of gold and that
while out in the Mississippi the ca
noe capsized and the gold went to
the bottom.
A third tale is that sack of gold
was buried near Fort Crawford dur
ing an attack by Indians. In the
days when the first settlers came in
to this part of the country there
was firm belief in these stories of
buried treasure and frequent hunts
were made for it, especially in the
hills around here.
In coming to McGregor with his
gold magnet Mr.. Graham first car
ried it around the hills, but finding,
IS he said, that it constantly pointed
east, he finally walked over the pom
toon bridge with it to Prairie du
Chem. After reaching Prairie du
Chem he declares the needle veer-
ed Immediately from east to south.
He followed the direction indicated
and was led straight to the ruins OF
Fort Crawford.
Here the instrument showed that
gold was in the immediate neighbor-
hood. The movements, however,
were so feeble that he believes the
treasure of no great value. He
states that he expects to return
shortly and make a more diligent
search.

PRISONER SLASHES
CERMAN|A'S MAYOR
Following Assault, Jail is Fired and
Three Barely Escape.

Algona, Oct. l6.-Germatia, To-
Gated in kossuth county, twenty-five
miles north of Algona was thrown
into excitement yesterday by a ser
ious cutting ARRAY in which Robert
Hamilton. mayor, narrowly escaped
death.
The case was given double interest
by the subsequent burning of the jail
where the accused men were incar-
cerated,
Late in the afternoon two men
were taken into custody by Mayor
Hamilton and Marshal J. n. Wheel
er. While they were being taken TO
the lookup, Ferdinand Koppen, a
farmer near Germania interferred
and was arrested, charged with dis
turbing the peace. Considerable diff
ficulty was experienced in getting
the three men within the bars which
was a steel cage built inside the
town fire hall.
As Koppen was being thrus,

GOVERNOR SU[zER STEPS
OUT OF OFFICE AT NOON

the present parleys have been car
ried on with the Huerta authori-
ties, who have rejected the good Of
fees of the United States. Strong
pressure now is being brought to
bear upon the president and Secre-
tary Bryan to give the constitution
alists an opportunity to compose the
situation through the support of
this country.
Reports that the president was
preparing to recognize the belliger-
ency of the constitutionalists are
based chiefly upon the friendly dis
position toward them that has aris-
en- among administration officials
since Huerta's proclamation of die
tatorship. The suggestion was car
ried to President Wilson by those
by whose judgment he and Secretary
Bryan have been guided to some ex-
tent in the past and while the atti-
tude is one of waiting until Oct. 26
arrives, it appeared today that some
move indicating support for the con-
stitutonalists was not at all i'm
probable.

THE LEECSON
SLAYER C0RNERED?
Burlington Posse Guarding Timber
for Negro.

Burlington, oct. 16.---Chief of Po-
lice Willard of the Burlington police
force and number of officers and
city officials have formed a posse to
hunt down mysterious negro who
is in hiding in the timber south of
Burlington.
The colored man has been recog-
nized as filling the description of the
man who is supposed to have killed
Miss Leegson, the Chicago artist.
He has been seen several times
and is closed pressed although so
far he has managed to make his es-
cape.
The territory where he is located
is well guarded and the officers hope
to land him in net which they are
now spreading for him. The timber
near Weaver, Ia, is the hiding place
of the fugitive, who is we'll armed
and apparently determined not to be
taken alive. a

Peking, Oct. 1S.-A force of Chin
csc brigands commanded by General
Hwang LANG has murdered 800 peo-

societies.
The American missionaries from
the disturbed district are still in Fe-
Chow, where they took refuge dur
ing the recent troubles.
The Chinese government troops
sent against the brigands have not
shown much activity. The Chinese
war office yesterday promised the
American charge d'affaires, Edward
T. Williams, that it would institute
effective measures for the suppress
sion of the brigands.

So Declares Wounded Husband of
Woman Found With Throat
Cut.
POLICE DOUBT THE STORY
Cincinnati Merchant is Removed to
Bridewell Hospital, Under
Guard.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Mrs. William
c. Ellis was found dead in bed in
her room in the Hotel Sherman yes
terday afternoon. Her throat had
been cut and she had been shot
twice under the left arm. Ellis, a
wealthy leather merchant of Cincin-
natl was staggering about the room,
his throat and wrists gashed by a
knife and suffering from three bull
let wounds when hotel detectives
forced their way into the room.
Ellis was taken to hospital
where he declared his wife had kill
ed herself and he had attempted to
end his life as a result of a suicide
pact. An investigation by the po-
lice, however, caused them to doubt
the story and Ellis was removed to
the Bridewell hospital where he will
be kept under police guard. His
injuries are not serious.
A number of letters and kilograms
found in the room at the hotel, were
taken by the police. One telegram
caused the police to address a mess
age to the chief of constables of
Brantford, Canada, asking if a
merchant of that town had left
Brantford recently. The date of his
departure and destination the mes
sage said was "of the utmost i'm
portance in a crime committed here
today"
The Canadian authorities answer
ed that the merchant in question
had not left Brantford for some
time.
Mrs. Ellis left Cincinnati last Sat
urday, coming to the home of Morris
Ebersole, a friend and business asso.
ciate of her husband. Ellis came
here Monday, finding his wife at the
Ebersole home. Later they moved
together to the hotel.
Yesterday was the tenth anniver-
sary Of their marriage and the
couple had planned to celebrate
here.
On the way to the hospital, Ellis
said he and his wife had agreed to
die because of business reverses.
Ellis in further statement to de-
tectives insisted that his wife and
he had agreed to die together. eve

HITS BACK AT MURPHY
High Court of Infamy," Declares
Retiring Executive in
Statement.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 1S.-William
Sulzer ceased to be governor of the
state of New York at noon yester-
day. He was removed from Office by
the high court of Impeachment by a
vote Of 43 to -, two members not
voting.
Martin H. Glynn, lieutenant gov
ernor, was sworn in as his successor.
The verdict of the court was that
Sulzer was guilty of Justification,
perjury and an attempt to suppress
evidence against him. OF all other
charges he was acquitted, the court
unanimously voting him not guilty
of the four remaining articles of i'm
parchment.
By a virtually unanimous vote, al
so, the Impeachment tribunal decid-
ed that Sulzer should not be punish
cd by disqualification to hold Office Of
honor and trust in this state in the
future. This would have been the
extreme penalty under the law.
The ousted executive was served
with a copy of the verdict of the
court at the executive mansion
christened by himself "the peoples
house, few minutes before 6
o'clock last night.
Good, l thank you," he said to
the sergeant at arms of the senate,
who delivered the document.
Mr.. Sulzer, private citizen, will
leave the capital probably on Sun
day, where to, he has not disclosed.
The outgoing executive issued a
statement in which he denounced
the tribunal which removed him as
"Murphy's high court of infamy."
Murphy controlled the assembly
and ordered the Impeachment" he
said. "He controlled most of the
members Of the court and dictated
procedure and wrote the Judgment.
He was the judge and jury, the
prosecutor and the bailiff."
Sulzer declared that his trial was
a political lynching as far as the
Tammanyized part of the court was
concerned"
He asserted he had not taken the
stand in his own defeDSa hacauca y a
realized that his story attacking the
Tammany leader would be ruled out.
He entered a general denial of all
the charges in the Impeachment ar
t!Cles; denied that he had ever ask
ed Allan A. Ryan to obtain the infu-
ence OF Murphy or Republican State
Chairman Barnes to stop the trial !;
said the testimony of Henry Morgen-
thau could be explained: asserted
that every dollar that had been Civ
en- him during his campaign had
been properly accounted for; that he
was $4,000 in debt; that he had
been faithful to his trust" and that
he handed back to the people the
commission they gave me untarnish-
ed and unsullied."
Had ! but served the boss with
half the zeal did the state, William
Sulzer would never have been i'm
peached," he said.
