Whether it was a case of suicide or accident there were many opinions. The object of the man’ s journey here may help to dear this up.

The attorney-gen eral is requested to instruct the United States attorney for Oregon to stay ail proceedings until further orders, in view of the legislation pending in con gress and the probable early action by the department on the question. The recommendation is due to a rep resentation from Oregon that great hardship and loss have resulted to *hee|«>wners of the state by their ex clusion from grazing lands within the reserve on which they have been de pendent for years.

M ARKET LETTER. S h o o ts H is F o r m e r E m p l o y e r s n d T h r e s O t h e r i ’ ertkoiii*. D o w n in g . H o p k in s A C o m p a n y 's R e v ie w Milwaukee,May 10.— Alexander H ar ris, a farmer, livin g five miles south of Waukesha, on the the Mukwonago road, and his w ife, were murdered this morning when at breakfast. A hired man was wounded, but esca[>ed. A hired girl was also wounded, and it likely to die. The crime was committed by W illiam Pouch, a farmhand. Pouch worked for Harris about two years ago. Last night at his request he was given lodging over night. About 5 o ’clock this morning Harris and a hired man went to the yard to m ilk the cows. Mrs. Harris and the girl were preparing breakfast. Pouoh left his room quietly, and, going to the yard, bade the men there good morn ing. Harris and the hired man were sitting on stools near each other. Pouch drew his revolver and fired at the farmer, killing him. H e then shot the hired man, inflicting probably a fatal wound. Pouch then walked leisurely to the kitchen. He told Mrs. Harris her hus band would not be in for a few minutes and he would eat his breakfast at once. The woman waited upon the murderer, who seemed to relish his meal. A fter breakfast Pouch started to walk toward the door. Before Mrs. Harris realized what was about to happpen lie wheeled around and shot her in the breast. He then fired at the hired girl. The farm er’ s w ife died soon a f terwards. T iie hired girl lias a chance for recovery. Pouch then rode away on a bicycle. A posse o f farmers is in hot pursuit. The farmers are greatly excited and enraged, and should they get hold of the murderer lie w ill undoubtedly be lynched. The supposition of the authorities is that Pouch is either insane or com m it ted the murderers in order to hide the evidence of another crime. The man ner in which tiie murders were com mitted shows plainly that Pouch delib erately arranged his plans. Harris was quite w ell to do. Pouch worked for him in the summer of 1895, but nothing occurred as far as known to cause enm ity between them. Pouch is 20 years of age. The name of the hired man who was shot is Nelson M cHolt. The girl is Helen Vesback. Latest re[s>rts from Mukwonago state Mrs. Harris was not instantly killed as at first stated, and may recover. There is little hope for Nelson M cHolt, the hired man, and Helen Vesback, the girl. The wheat market was very dull dur ing the past week. On Saturday a speculative demand sprung upon a A HEROIC H e Saved BOY ENGINEER. t in n y L i v e * at 111* O w n . th e R l»k of Houghton, Mich., M ay 10.— W ith a box containing 200 pounds of dynamite on fire, ten feet away from him, John Thomas, a boy who runs a compressed- air hoisting engine in the Tamarack mine, stuck to his post and saved the lives of the men at work in tiie mine by his bravery. Ten seconds after Thomas had hoisted the men to the level the dynamite ex ploded, smashing the engine to pieces and doing other damage, hut the men and the Ixiy to whom they owe their lives were safe. Tiie miners working in the 23d level had put seven casts of dyuamite in a box for future use. A t noon a miner accompanied by Thomas went to his post, gave the alarm to the miners in the level below and ran his engine un til he had hoisted them out. He then fled. The alarm of fire caused great ex citement, hut no miners were injured in the rush to reacli daylight from a deptli of 3,000 to 4,000 feet. F o r IV » p fl tu Cuba, New York, May 10.— A special to the Journal from Havana says: Your correspondent is able upon high author ity to confirm the Journal’s recent Washington reports as to negotiations pending there between Secretary o f State Sherman, Dupuy de Lome and Estrada Palma, hxiking to a peaceful solution by purchase or otherwise of the Cuban question. The story is the topic of conversation in all the clubs. El D iaiio de la Marina, the reformist nragu here, in a leader, sounds an om i nous note of warning by ¡nit mating that tiie so-called reforms that Prem ier Can- ovas has offered to the island w ill be little more than a farce, should Cuba be left to pay the cost o f the war. Spain most pay it, El Diario declares, other wise she cannot hope to keep the colony and continue to monopolize its trade. R e q u r ft t e d t o B e n ig n . Olympia, Wash., May 10.— The memliers of the board of oontrol this af> ternoon received a formal request from the governor to resign. This action is desired by Governor Rogers as a result o f the recent occurrences that render harmonious action impossible One o f the beard said tonight that the members had not decided what action they would take, but they would hold a conference as soon as practicable, and agree upon a oourse, when they would all stand together. The governor said that he did not care at this time to enter into a discus sion of the difficulties that have made it impossible for him to act further with the board as it is now constituted. The members of the board w ill doubt less decide soon whether they w ill resist the governor or quietly acquiesce in his request. o f Trade. Resume of Events in the Northwest.
