Sheriff and Robber Found
- .Dead in' the Woods.
HE TOOK DESPERATE CHANCES
The Sheriff, Singletaanded, Went After
the Highwayman, and Brought Blm
Down, but Died la the Attempt
Nevada, Cal., July 29. Sheriff
David Douglass went out yesterday to
eearoh for a highway robber. Not re
turning and his horse and buggy being
found tied up half a mile from town,
this morning a searching party went
out. The Bheriff and ,the robber were
both found dead about a mile from
town and only a few feet from eaoh
other. Five ohambers were empty in
the sheriff's revolver and he was snot
through the heart, in the right eye and
through the hand. The highwayman
was also shot three times through the
heart, in the abdomen and hip. The
robber had a rifle, but it did not ap-
. pear to have been used. - It 1b thought
Douglass was killed by a pal of the
dead robber. There is great ezpitement
over the affair. Several parties iden
tified the dead robber as the man who
held tip Policeman Gibson and Charles
Sladky, of San Franoisoo, naar here
about two weeks ago, and who is sus
pected as the person who has commited
' other robberies in this section of late.
The bloody work took plaoe some
time yesterday afternoon or last even
ing. There have been a number of
bold highway robberies lately, all evi
dently the work of the same man. He
has worked without assistants, but his
capture seemed impossible, although
the sheriff and his deputies made every
effort to oatoh the thief. Finally,
Sheriff Douglass determined yesterday
to attempt the oapture of the highway
man alone. The sheriff started with a
horse and buggy, accompanied only by
his dog. Nothing was heard from the
sheriff during the day, but when no
word was reoeived after nightfall, his
friends'" grew uneasy, espeoially as the
dog oame baok alone late in the even
ing. At daybreak today a large party
of deputies and friends started in search
of the sheriff, traoing him to Wells'
ranch, two miles from town. The
horse and buggy had been found near
Wells' tied to a tree last night. The
horse had evidently been there several
hours. The vehicle was owned by
Sheriff Douglass and was easily identi
fied today. This aroused the fear of
the searchers, who divided into small
parties and oovered the surrounding
oountry thoroughly. About 10 o'olock,
half a mile from where the horse had
been tied, in the woods baok of Wells'
ranoh, was found the sheriff. He was
dead, but he had got his man. Not
five feet from the sheriff lay the dead
body of the muoh-sought robber.
MISTAKEN FOR A BURGLAR
Chicago Man Shot and Killed by His
Son.-ln-I.aw, , .
Chicago, July 28. Daniel Shroyer,
a well-known resident of Park Ridge,
was shot and killed early this morning
by his son-in-law, George B. . Pottin
ger, a prominent Chioago real estate
man, who mistook him for a burglar.
The shooting took plaoe in Pottinger'a
house in Ingleside arenue. Mr.
Shroyer had been a guest at the Pottin
ger home for several weeks.1 Mr. Pot
tinger was aroused at 3 o'olook this
morning, and, 'thinking burglars were
abroad, took his revolver and started to
investigate. He was about to enter
the kitohen, when he saw the form of
a man approaching, and, raising his
revolver, fired. The man gave veut to
a startling exolamation and Mr. Pot
tinger reoognized-his father-in law's
voice. The bullet struck Mr. Shroyer
in the groin and he died in an hour.
Pottinger is almost distracted, and his
wife is prostrated.
: A Dog's Ievotion. '
San Francisco, July 29. The doleful
whining of a dog near the Scandina
vian plat, in Laurel oemetery, attract
ed the attention of Mrs. S.. C. Oyer yes
terday afternoon. She took a path
leading to a dump of bushes, when a
small fox terrier ran toward her. "She
tried to pet the dog, but the animal
kept out of reaoh. Not seeing any
thing, she turned away, but the dog
followed her, finally pulling at her
skirts. . She turned once morend the
dog, a paoe or two ahead, led the way
into the brush. A few steps farther
and she was startled to see the body of
a man. She leaned over and saw that
he was dead. The dog cuddled down
and licked the face of the corpse.
Mrs. Oyer at once left the plaoe and
notified the superintendent of the oeme
tery, who in turn notified the morgue.
When th wagon reached the spot the
dog was Btill by the Bide of his late
master. Deputy O'Brien and Messen
ger MoGinnes fook the reoeiver and
started to lift - the body. The dog
jumped at them and had to be driven
away. When the body was plaoed on
the receiver the dog jumped in and had
to be lifted out. The dog followed the
wagon some distance, but was finally
lost. There were no papers or any
thing on the' body that would lead to
its identification. The deceased was a
man apparently 60 years old, with a
short ohin beard and grayish hair.

London, July 29. The board of in
quiry has deoided that the loss of the
steamship Drummond Castle, off
Ushant, June 16, resulting in the
drowning of about 250 persons, only
one passenger and two seamen being
saved, was due to the fact that she was
not navigated with proper seamanlike
oare in view of the prevailing condi
tions. ,

A POOL TO SUPPLY GOLD
Flan of New York Banker to Check
: Export.
lew York, July 27. The Evening
Post says the oommittee , of foreign
bankers appointed at the meeting yes
terday to, formulate , a plan for the
oheoking of the exports of gold during
the next two months is not expected to
report for two or three days. It is the
intention to arrange a pool by which
all demands for exporting may be sup
plied during that time. This morning
there was a decline of one-half cent in
the posted rates for sterling exchange.
The bankers present at yesterday's
meeting today referred all questions to
J. P. Morgan. An associate of those
present said, in speaking of the result
of the meeting: , ,. "
"The report that foreign bankers
have agreed to sell exohange not to
exoeed 15,000,000, and have promised
not to ship gold for, two months, is
hardly correot. We have, however,
been assured 15,000,000 in the next
two months, to be provided by a syndi
cate comprising powerful looal and in
ternational interests, at a price lower
than the cost of exporting gold to Eu
rope. The details of this agreement
have not been arranged. "
Seventeen million Deposited.
New York, July 27. The subtrees
nry ofiSoials and staff were rushed to
day receiving and keeping tally of the
deposits of gold , made by the New
York banks in exohange for green
backs. All indications point to an ag
gregate aooumulation Of the precious
metal from banks and institutions in
this oity and from outside financial
centers fully up to the estimates made
in these dispatches, (25,000,000. The
oorreoted official total of deposits at
the subtresaury from the inoeption of
the movement to the olose of business
today was 117,755,000, the deposits
bringing the treasury guarantee in the

AFTER ORIENTAL TRADE.
Chicago is Mow Working for a Trans
Faolfiq Xilne.
Chioago, July 27. The publication
of the negotiations between President
Hill, of the Great Northern, and Mr.
Masujima, of Tokio, for a steamship
line between Puget sound and Japan
has developed the faot that Chioago
men already have practically oompleted
arrangements for such a line of steam
ers, whioh it is expeoted, will give
them almost oomplete oontrol of the
business between the United States and
the Orient. , .- ' 1 v
In the venture of the Chioago men,
It is understood the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad has an interest and
the company is ready, if necessary, to
break its alliance with the " Southern
Paoifio and the Huntington interests
in order to carry out the new scheme.
The value of the trade with the Orient
is appreciated fully by all the trans
portation and commercial interests of
the oountry, and there is no fear that
there will not be traffio enough to make
the new line profitable San Diego is
the- present terminus of the Santa Fe
road, and if it could carry freight to
the docks of a trans-Paoiflo steamship
company there its tonnage would be
vastly inoreased.

MISS CROCKER'S ROMANCE.
Cleveland Heiress to Marry the Man Whose
. Life She Saved. ' '
Cleveland's wealthiest society girl has
thrown over a baron who is an officer in
the German army and chamberlain to
Emperor William for an American gen
tleman. Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Crocker
announce the engagement of their only
daughter, Miss Laura T. Crocker, to
William Hayes Acklan of Washington.
This is the outcome of something of
a romance. , Several years ago, when
Miss Crocker was. traveling in Europe,
she met Mr. Acklan, then in the diplo
matic service, in a Fronch city. , The
next winter the acquaintance was re
newed at St Augustine, and Mr. Ack
lan came to Cleveland to visit the Crock
era in June.
Miss Crocker, who is a superb horse
woman, saved Mr. Acklan's life during
a runaway. Both were severely injured.
The young man was nursed back to
health under the Crocker roof and,fll
in love with his rescuer. The next win
ter they met at St. Augustine, but Bar
on von Eichtriz, a German nobleman
of fine appearance, was also there and
tried to win the heiress. He lingered,
but at last was compelled to return to
Germany alone. ;
Miss Crocker "went to Washington,
where she. was the guest for several
weeks of Vice President and Mrs. Ste
venson. She met Mr. Acklan again and
consented to become his wife. Miss
Crocker is 22 years old and has traveled
extensively. Mr. Acklan is the author
of several books. New York Journal.
A FAMOUS CASE.
The Davis Will Case . to Be Reopened In
' : Montana. 7
Mrs. Elizabeth Bowdoin of Spring
field, Mass., has filed a petition in the
Eighth district court of Montana for the
purpose of reopening the famous will
case contest involving the many millions
left by the late Judge Andrew J. Davis.
Mrs. Bowdoin is a sister of the dead
millionaire, and site asks the court to
revoke the probate of the old will, over
which the contest bythe . Root faction
was oarried on for years, and which was
finally admitted to probate about a year
ago under some private arrangement for
the division of the estate, but which
arrangement did not include some heirs-at-law
who had taken no part in the
original contest. Mrs. Bowdoin was one
of these.'
- In her petition she alleges that the old
will, executed in 1866, in Salt Creek
township, la. , when Davis was a poor
man, was a forgery; that the body of
the instrument and the signatures of
Davis and three witnesses were forged.
The principal point raised in the peti
tion is the allegation of the fact that in
1880 Davis exeouted a will, by the pro
visions of whioh all former wills were
revoked, but this will was subsequently
destroyed. Mrs. Bowdoin, however,
claims that the fact that it was destroyed
did not revive the old will, even if the
latter was genuine. The estate involved,
in spite of the great litigation, has con
stantly increased in value, and is worth
probably $10,000,000.--Chioago Times
