ALL FOE THE PUBLIC GOOD.
It is an undisputed fact that the hand
somest vestibule trains that are now
run on the American continent are those
on the "Burlington Route," leaving
the Union Depot in Denver, also St.
Paul, immediately on arrival of all
through trains from the west. The first
and second class coaohes are magnifi
cent, the Reclining chair cars superb,
the Pullman sleepers extremely ' luxuri
ant, and as for the meals that are served
in those Palace Burlington dining cars
yum-yum. The next time you go east
to Kansas City.Chicago or St Louis, if
you mention to the ticket agent that
you want your tioket to read from Den
ver or St. Paul over the Burlington
Route, you will get it, and you will al
ways be glad of it.
If you go via the Northern or Canadi
an Pacific, the elegant vestibule trains
of "The Burlington Route," between St.
Paul, Chicago and St. Louis will carry
you alonrr the eastern shore of the Miss
issippi river for a distanoe of 350 miles,
amidst scenery that cannot be surpass
ed; or, if you go via the Oregon Short
Line or Southern Pacifio, and your ticket
reads via "The Burlington Route," from
Cheyenne or Denver, you will pass
through all the thriving cities and towns
located in what is popularly known as
the "Heart of the Continent." b or fur

Denee Sets Fire to His Mattress
and Chokes His Cell Mate.
GAT, HIS VICTIM IS DEAD.
StockmeojFight for a Stack of Hay Two Are
Fatally Injured.
Seattle, March 4. Jack Gay, the vic
tim of David Denee's murderous assault
in the county jail last Friday night, died
at Grace hospital this morning of sedema
of the lungs the result of pneumonia,
brought on by the severe choking he
received at the hands of Denee, togeth
er with the smoke he inhaled while held
over the assailants mattress. The mur
der is one of the most atrocious ever
committed in the Northwest, and there
is hardly a chance to dou'oj that Denee
will expiati! the crime oa fVaOAffold-
DeDee is 0 years old, a dime novel
desperado. On Monday, Jan. 27, be
went into the Elite gambling saloon and
compelled B. T. Burns, a dealer of faro,
to give him $200 in gold. He then made
his escape through the front door, shoot
ing Richard Bicards, the doorkeeper in
the right wrist, which resulted in hi3
losing his hand. Denee then made his
esoape and remained at large all day
That night he was oorralled in a lodging
house near Whiteohapel and helda posse
of police at bay all night He wsb final
ly captured. He pleaded guilty to a
charge of robbery and murderoas as
sault and was sentenced to seventeen
years' imprisonment. After being sen.
tenced Denee asked for a trial, as the
sentenoe was much greater than wis "ex
pected, but this was refused him, and
he soon would have been taken ts the
penitentiary at Walla Walla. s
Last Friday night his last crime was
committed. Just before midnighi he
set fire to the mattress in the cell in the
county jail occupied by himself and Jack
Gay, an ex-railroad oonductor, under
sentence for robbing oars of the Colum
bia & Puget Sound RailroaJ-Company of
valuable merchandise. Gay was awik
ened by the emoke and attempted to give
the alarm, but was choked by Denee,
who was a much stronger man. Bis
cries were heard, however, and assistance
arived just in time to save the jail, but
Gay was insensible from being choked
by his fiendish jail mate, from the
smoke and hot air he had inhaled. He
was taken to a hospital, where he suffer.
ed great agony until death relieved him
this morning.
Denee says he fired the cell with the
intention of cremating biaself, but it is
supposed that he intended to make his
escape in the excitement of the burning
of the jail. To-day he is feigning insan-
tv. and when told of the murder macLs
incoherent remarks, whiclj. "yevnr.J-
trayed his great anxiety, fsaoroner'a
jury this afternoon found David Denee
guilty of the crime of settiig fire to his
bed and thereby suffocatiig Jack Gay.
AFFRAY AT BIQBEND.
Two Men Perhaps Fatally Wnnded and An
other Oaugerousljrlnrt.
Krrzvnj.E, March 4. Or. Borronghs
has returned from the sei, of war and
gives your correspondent the following
report: It seems that Br Blythe had
purchased the hay of Mr. Lyons and
had sold the same to the sheep men and
went down Thursday moiling to where
it was stacked to show bem the stack
and give possession. Tbsre they found
the Wilson boys, who oriered them to
leave, or at least the shec men, and one
discharged his revolver, in order to
frighten them. Others bit he gripped
the pistol so tightly, it bang self acting,
that it was discharged acadentally. Mr.
Blythe and the purchases! of the stack
of hay went away, leaviig the Wilson
brothers in' possession Friday, the
morning of the shooting,! the sheep men
and another person went to the stack,
and were loading the hay on to a wagon
when the Wilson boys cane up and com
menced shooting. Virfil was armed
with a 41-caliber Colt's levolver and a
double-barreled breech-losding shotgun
loaded with buckshot. He discharged
one barrel, missing his ain, the second
charge taking effect in Dick Garlick's
left shoulder, one near tie nipple and
ranGrin? no. one throuei the flesh of
the shoulder blade and ine ranging up
from the shoulder. L. G Wilson then
opened fire on Dutch Bra, firing four
times, one shot making a slight scalp
wound over the left ear and three piero
ing his hat. The men closed in on the
shooters. Garlick, who was a heavy-set
German, disarmed Virgil Wilson, asmall
man, broke the shotgun, and obtaining
possession of the Colt's revolver, it seems
he shot Virgii through the right lung
from the back, the ball lodging near the
right nipple, then turniug his attention
to L. G. Wilson, who was wrestling with
Dutch Ben for oossession of the Win
chester.
Both are stout, and it seems that Wil
son was getting the best of his man.
when Garliok came to the rescue and
fired two shots, one entering the small of
the baok on the right side, ranging
downward, the second entering the rifht
arm. The Winchester was broken and
twisted, showing the desperate struggle
that ensued for the supremacy.
An eye witness several rodsdistant saw
the weapons flash in the sunlight and
could hear the dull sickening thuds as
they fell on the heads and bodies of the
bodies of the men. The Wilson boys
understood that the hay belonged to
them, and they were fighting for their
own and wanted the feed for their cat
tle. A bad feeling usually exists be
tween sheep and cattle men, and such
may have existed between the Wilsons
and the sheep men. The Wilsons were
regarded in Kitzvil as industrious and
honest, and much surprise is manifested
here on account of the part they took in
the affair.
The dootor is of the opinion that Gar-
lick will recover if blood poisoning does
not set in, while the Wilsons' condition
are not favorable, especially L. G. 8.
They are seventy miles from any town,
the camp is almost entirely out of pro
visions, and the surgeon found nothing
to work with. Sheep and cattle camps
do not make very comfortable hospitals.
The Wilsons are at the Blythe ranch, a
mile awBy. The sufferers bear their
pain without a word, and when asked if
they wanted their friends to know of
their condition they replied: "If we
live, all right; If we die, all right"
JACKSON WORRIED.
A Troy Heavyweimlit Proves Able to Hold
His Own.
Teoy, March 5. The Peter Jackson
combination, in charge of Parson Davies,
appeared here to-night befere an im
mense audienoe. Davies said it was the
intention at first to have Jackson spar
four rounds with Jack Ashton, butnany
people had desired to see Jackson exhib
it himself, and he had offered Gus Lam
bert $100 if he would spar four rounds
with Jackson Lambert is a powerful
jmjn, weighing about 220 pounds. He is
considerably shorter than Jaokson and
very fat.
When time was called for the first
round the excitement began and increas
ed until the fight terminated, when pan-
demoniun reigned. At the start Lam
bert seemed afraid of Jackson and
fonght shy of him.
About the first thing Lambert did was
to strike at Jaokson and then grab him
around the waist. The referee had
bard work to separate them. Before the
second round was over everybody was
yellmg like mad.
Lambert followed the methods adopt
ed in the first ronnd and hugged Jack
son. The excitement knew no bounds
In the third ronnd, when Jackson saw
Lambert persisted in hugging him, he
attempted to fight him but Lambert
would l'ot have it. He picked Jackson
up and ran across the platform with him
and would have thrown him over the
ropes, had it not been for Ashton. who
caught him.
Some hard fighting was done in the
oorner, and when the men reached the
center of the ring again they were both
blowing hard.
Lambert struck Jackson a blow that
staggered him, and the crowd yelled .
Jackson seemed winded.
In the fourth round Jackson fought
for life, but Lambert was there all the
time, and when time was called he was
in as good shape as the Australian, and
the cheering crowd carried him around
on their shoulders. Jackson refused to
shake hands with Lambert. He offered
to fight Jackson to a finish, and to-night
Georde Dixon, the Boston bantam
weight, was authorized by Jackson to
challenge Lambert to a finish fight for
from $500 to $5000. Jackson was terri
bly discomfited.
MONTANA SENATORS.
Senate Committee will Report in Favor of the
Republicans.
Washington, March 8 The senate
oommittee on privileges and elections
iu the case of the contested Montana
senatorships by a party vote to-day de
cided to recommend to the senate that
Power and Sanders, the republican
claimants, be seated.
The ground upon which the majority
of the committee takes its stand as a bas
is for its recommendation is that the re
publican house of Montana was a legal
house, asits members had certificates of
election from election officers of election
and was recognized as legal by the state
senate.
The report of the committee will not be
made for several days. Gray, it is ex

They Quarrel at the Wedding Snpper.
Louisville, Ky., March 6. John Wil
lis, a man highly respected iu McLean
oounty, married Mrs. Effie Pinkston a
oouple of days ago. At the wedding
supper a discussion arose between tbem
as to religion, and grew very warm.
Things grew unpleasant and the com
pany withdrew one by one. Mrs. Willis
became furious and refused to retire to
the bridal chamber. Every entreaty
failed and. the woman sat stock still in
her chair until daylight. She then set
out for home and refused to be comfort
ed by anybody. The minister of her
church has endeavored to get her to re
turn to her husband, and the latter has
offered never again to mention religion
in her presence, but she refuses to en
tertain any proposition looking to rec
onciliation.
A Brave South Carolina Girl.
Charleston, S. C, March 6. Last
Sunday night Miss Alice H. Kinney,
aged 19, who lives alone on a farm near
this city, was awakened by some one
moving in an adjoining room. Realiz
ing that a burglar was in the house, she
took a pistol from nnder the pillow and
concealed it under the quilt. The burg
lar entered the room, walked up to the
bed, and, concluding that the young wo
man was asleep, began to look about.
He wore a mask and carried a pistol in
his hand. As he turned his head away
from her she heard him mutter: "She
is putty, and I guess I'll hab to see her
later." He went to the bureau and be
gan to go through the drawers. When
he turned his face Miss Kinney quietly
raised in bed, took aim at the man's
head and fired, instantly the burglar
whirled around, and as he did se she
fired again, and he fell to the floor with
a groan. With a smoking pistol in her
hand she watched about five minutes,
when be died. Then the alarm was given
and a crowd gathered at the house. The
burglar proved to be Sam Kearns, a ne
gro who has given much trouble.

WOOLGROWERS OF OHIO
They Demand Greater Protection
Against Imported Wools.
FARMERS TO APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Frauds Alleged in Importations -Alannfactar-ers
Warned that the Producer Slnst
Not Be Ignored in Tariff
Reform.
Columbus, O., March 9. President
Harpston, of the Ohio Wool Growers'
Association, has issued a lengthy ad
dress to the woolgrowers of the state
and nation, in which he says there has
been no time in thirty years when the
farmers suffered so much from low pric
es for farm products as now. He ex
plains the eause of this condition, and
says :
"The object of this address is to aek
the farmers of the country to appeal to
the president to put a speedy end to the
mnnstrous frands now being perpetrated
in importing wool, and an appeal to our
members of congress to aid in the same I
work, and to speedily pass a wool tariff
law that will give wool manufacturers
and wool growers the exclusive privilege
of supplying all the woolen goods and
wool required for nse in the United
States."
Considerable space is devoted to al
leged frauds in the importation of wool
and be says :
"If these frauds and this low rate of
duty continue imports will largely in
crease. The importation of 90,000,000
pounds last year, mostly scoured, were
equivalent at least to 160,000,000 of un
washed, and is equal to one-fourth of
all the wool consumed in the United
States. Thi3 is practically free wool,
and unless the duty is increased these
imports will be largely increased and
destroy out American wool industry."
Harpston concluded as follows: "This
address is deemed proper, in view of the
fact, not generally known, of the per
sistent efforts being made to secure just
and ample protection for manufacturers,
but to deny the same measure of pro
tection for farmers."
THE MICHIGAN BLACK. BART.
Holzhay Secures a Knife and Endeavors to Es
cape from Prison bnt is shot
Mabqcette, Mich., March 6. Warden
Tompkins, of the penitentiary, shot the
notorious train and stage robber and
murderer, Holzhay, through the hand
to-night, in order to disarm him. Hol
zhay had in some manner secured a ta
ble knife and ground it down to a point,
and was threatening the life of a fellow
prisoner. The warden's Bhot carried
away all the fingers of his right hand.
Holzhay first seized a deputy keeper
around the neck and threatened to. cut
his throat Depuy . Warden . 'jlawley
tried to get near them, but was compell
ed to desist because of Holzhay's threat
to kill the keeper. Finally the keeper
escaped, when Holzhay seized a fellow
convict named Meservy in the same
manner, keeping his body between him
self and the officers, so that if they shot
him they must necessarily kill the other
convict. Warden Tompkins was sent
for, and for over two hours argued with
the threatening desperado, but to no ef
feat. Finally he sat down still holding
Meservy in front of him, but Tompkins

German Gazette, instead of modifying,
intensifies the emperor's declaration of
absolutism. In a most remarkable pas
sage he said: "I see in the people and
land intrusted to me by God a talent

to so trade with my talent that I may be
enabled to add many others thereto.

come. Those who oppose, I dash to
pieces."

papers advise suppression of universal
suffrage and a suspension of the sittings

the chancellor, freely criticising the re
sult of the elections, said: ,-We shall
leave the new reichstag to cook in its
own juice."

Ksuii. Fis, March 9" Government
Detective Msmiy, speaking of Burchell

strongest case of circumstantial evidence
he ever had, and when presented it will
be impossible for him to escape the
clutches of the law. This is not the
firs't, second or third young Eoghshman
lured to this country by him, he' says,
and before the case is finished the fate
of all of them will be cleared up. With
in the past three or four years two other
bodies have been found in the vicinity of
Blenheim swamp, nor the manner of
their death could be established. Then
there was young Pickthall. All these
are recalled now, and the events of
the
Benweil murder give them new signifi
