Mr. Bayard had a cordial reception.
He brought w ith him the log of the

it instantly became the center of attrac

The Cascade ReierTt#
Washington, May 10.— Commission
er Hermann has recommended to the
attorney-general the suspension for the
present of legal proceedings grow ing out
o f sheep pasturing within the Cascade
range forest reserve. 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.

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.

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.
