BODY OF JAMES DICK, JR., ALLEGED
RAPlS1, FOUND SUNDAY WITH TWO Bull
LETS IN THE REGION Of THE HEART
JAMES LAHEW MADE THE DISCOVERY SUNDAY AFTER
NOON AND JUSTICE MCBRIDE OF CERR ARnsTourN
hELD AN INQUEST AND VERDICT WAS THE MAN HAD
COMMITTED SUICIDE $1,000

The body Of James Dick, Jr., who
was charged with having criminally
assaulting Mrs. William Lamp, near
Glengary, on the afternoon Of March
10, was found Sunday afternoon about
Z O'Clock by James Lahew, about a
half mile from the residence of Mr.,
Lamp
Since the alleged crime was COM
nltted searching parties have, at
various periods, been securing that
section OF the county, hoping to find
the man, but no trace. SO far as is
known, was learned until Mr.. Lahew
made his discovery yesterday after
noon. THO body was living in 2 Gins
ter of bushes with a small 22-calibre
rlf1e, containing an empty cartridge,
lying by his side. Two bullets had
penetrated the region Of the heart.
lie information waS Immediately
communicated to Justice J. II Nc
Bride, Of GerrardstOwn, who went to
the scene, and decided an inquest
was necessary. The following Jury
was empaneiled: Edward Lamp. J..
II: Barney, Gold Parsons. Tutt Par
sons. Clay Aikens and Harley Gaines.
After hearing the evidence of Mr.. La
hew, who discovered the body, and
other witnesses, the jury returned a
verdict that Dick came to his death
by self-inf1icted wound. The body
was then removed to the homeo the
father, James Dick, Sr.
Deputy Sheriff Sprinkle was also
notified, who in turn informed Dr..
SpcnsellOr coroner, Of the affair. The
doctor with Deputy Sheriffs Sprinkle
and Wolfe also went to the scene,
and after viewing the body postponed
action until Monday a M. when the
doctor, after consultation with Pros
ecutlng Attorney DOwney returned
to the Dick home, where Monday at
IeTnnnn An autopsy was performed
by DR.. c. E. Clay and an inquest
held.
There Is considerable speculation
as to how Dick met his death, the
idea being advanced that it was i'm
possible for him to have fired both
shots as the first, undoubtedly, would
have produced death. Dick was ly-
Ing on his back, which would indicate
that it was impossible for him, if the
first shot failed to take effect, to
have reloaded the gun and fired the
second. And it was not known what
the calibre Of the bullets used. How
ever, that will be determined by the
autopsy.

The steamer Northwestern was unable to land her freight at Anchor age. and after waiting there for sev' ersl days for ice conditions 70 1m- prove, finally left for Seward, where it's cargo of 1,70O tons was discharged last night. This freight will likely be stored in cars and distributed along the railroad, as the wharf facilities are not sufficient to handle it, and Il may be freighted over the trail to Anchorage later in the season.
 The steamers Kansas City and Ad, miral Farragut are still to the west ward, and it is more than TiKeIy that they will also be unable to discharge their cargoes. Tn that event there will be a shortage of supplies at An chorage during the winter.
 The Northwestern sailed from Sew ard at o'clock this morning, ana as she will load ore at Ellamar, is not due in Cordova until tomorrow a. m. She will be in port about twelve or fourteen hours taking on Kennecott copper ore and will not sail TOT Se- attle until early Tuesday evening.

 | AS a result of our request, Seconc Assistant Postmaster-General Praeger today issued an order that hereafter the delivery of magazines for news dealers in Alaska should be facili- tated to the fullest extent. He specifi. cally directed that the magazines in- tended for newsstands in Alaska should be given preference over cata- logues and advertising matter, with which hitherto they had been grouped
 Under the system which has been in effect unti this time, there were four classes of mail going to Alaska. Two-cent letter postage and post cards were first class. Magazines and newspapers sent to annual sub scribers were second class; maga- zines for news dealers and circulars and catalogues were third cass. The fourth class consisted of books and parcel post
 MT. Praeger explained that there were great difficulties nvorved in de. liyering the various classes of mail in Alaska It sometimes IS necessary to pay a man $212 for a 75-mile haul. The places from which complaints have come so far are said to be the most difficult of all to make deliver ies to during the winter. Under the existing system the third class mail has been the chief sufferer and maga- zines intended for newsdealers were classed with catalogues and circulars. In other words. no differentiation was made and both suffered alike.
 Under the order issued today there will be a difference. Magazines intended for newsdealers will be given the preference over advertising matter, and will be pushed through as rapidly as possible in the winter deliveries.

The great human tragedy coupled
with the responsibility o, the hour
caused the president TO deny himself

official family, while he turned over
IN his mind the course to be pursued
by the United States government In
one OF the most serious crises in its
history.
The only glimpse OF the working Of
the presidents mind was given when
the White House issued It's first formal
comment on the disaster. The an.

When the German admiralty pro.
claimed the waters around Great

warned neutral vessels against the

distinction drawn then as to whether
the representations of the United
States covered Americans travelling on
belligerent or neutral craft. but OIL.
cials informally disclosed later that
the note had been purposely phrased
so ms TO cover both contingencies.
The language of the American note
was everywhere recalled as a possible
index OF the policy to be pursued. In
a note to Germany the United States
government pointed out that If Ameri
can lives were lost or on American
vessel sunk, "the government of the
United States would be constrained to
hold the German government to q
strict accountability and to take any
steps necessary to safeguard American
lives and property and to secure &c
American citizens the full extent OF
their acknowledged rights on the high
seas"
Information gathered among officials
OF the government and in diplomatic
quarters tended to confirm the belief
that plans for the destruction OF the
Lusitania were made several weeks
ago. The German embassy was in
structed to advertise in the leading
newspapers against travelling on bellig.
erert ships. Anonymous warnings
were then sent to individuals who pro
posed sailing on the Lusitania. Most
significant OF all were letters received
here from officials In Germany by pri
vate persons stating that the Lusi
tania surely would be destroyed.
At the German embassy here while
no comment was made as to whether II
was known there that the vessel was
to be destroyed. II was said the EN-.

and ammunition and being advised OF

contraband, officials had believed she
would be attacked.
