He was! picked up unconscious and died as he being carried into the lobby of the building. Mies Alvord was shot the neck and wrist, but not serious- | hurt Miss Alvord went to the office of the life insurance company about 11 o’clock and asked to have a private interview with Ewayze. She was shown into a sm private office fronting on the State-street side of the building, where | Swayze joined her, shutting and lock- ing the door. In a few moments other ns in the office heard a struggle, | | screams, which were followed in | quick succession by several pistol | shots. Manager McCall of the agency | broke in the doer and found Miss Al- | vord prostrate on the floor, Her hair | heveled, her waist torn and blood pouring from wounds in her neck and | wrist. Through the open window Me-l‘ Call could see Swayze's hands clutch- | window ledge. They were in | ew for only a moment. Then Swayze let go and his body went whirling down through the air. It hit several wires and turned over twice, striking on the face and chest. LETTER EXPLAINS TRAGEDY. A buliet wound ‘in his nose showed that he had shot himself. There was | just a breath of life in Swayze's body | when he was picked up, and he died while heing carried into the Chamber of Commerce lobby. Meantime physiciags in the build- | ing had been summoned to the insur- | ance office to attend Miss Alyord. They found that her wounds are not fatal. Occupants of a building across the street from the Chamber of Commerce | say that Swayze attempted to throw Miss Alvord out of the window. Her head and shoulders were seen across | the ledge, and she was fighting desper- | ately. Then the couple disappeared from the | window and the shots rang out, fol- lowed by Swayze's mad ‘glunge. A letter written by Swayze was found, which explains the tra,gedy. The letter says Miss Alvord was re- sponsible for Swayze losing his posi- | tion at the House of Correction. Miss Alvord is an employe of a sew- ing machine company, but worked at the House of Correction when Swayze was there. Fer home is said to be at Saginaw, Mich. P Miss Alvord told the physician at- ! tending her to tell the reporters that Swayze sent her a telephone miessage that he was going to shoot her as a birthday present. She said she went to Swayze's office to-day to talk with him. He had been threatening, she said, to write to the mother of her sweetheart and tell her that Miss Al- vord was not the kind of a girl her | son should marry. It is not certain that Swayvze delib- erately jumped from the window. It| is thought by many that when he heard the door of the private office being opened he crawled out on the vindow ledge and endeavored to hang by his hands in a mad attempt to es- cape detection. Marks in the dust on the window ledge show where his fin- | gers gradually dragged across it until his hold was lost. This is taken to in- dicate that he did not intend to jump. The Chamber of Commerce building i at the corner of Griswold and State one bleck from the busiest streets shopp! | Before 3 body whirled through the air, the attention of people ! had been attracted to the building by the cries of Miss Alvord as she fought at the window against being hurled to the street and by the pistol shots. Scores saw Swayze fall and hundreds, of men, women and children were on the scene almost before the body was picked up. | Swayze was 53 years of age and | leaves a wife and two children. | _—————————— | WOMAN BELIEVED TO HAVE CAUSED SHOOTING AFFRAY | | Mystery Surrounds Crime Uncovered | son street, was in the Police Court to- | Miss Nellie Mead, Miss Pearl Hendrick- by Discovery of Wounded Man in | House Near Cemectery. | BUTTE, Mont, June 24.—Richard | | J. Finnegan was discovered in a dying condition in a house near the Mo\mt‘ Moriah Cemetery early this morning. | e lay on the floor, his body covered | vith blood. Beyond gasping in 'a| feeble way that he had been shot by | a person whose name he refused to | divuige, Finnegan would say nothing | when questioned by officers. He is| wounded in two places, the head and ! left breast. | | The police to-night are searching for | | Mrs. Lizzie Mogrison, who is believed | by the officers to cut a prominent fig- | | ure in the shooting of Finnegan. From | evidence at hand the authorities are |} inclined to believe that some man shot | Finnegan in a jealous rage. From the appearance of Finnegan's room a desperate struggle occurred before he | was shot down. | To-night when he realized that death was near Finnegan weakened, and in a signed statement says Mrs. Lizzie Mor- rison shot at him four times during a jealqus rage. She shot at him twice as he lay in bed, but the fatal wounds | were inflicted as Finnegan struggled on | the .floor with the woman, the state- ment says. Finnegan is a married man.

Don't you accent nearly all of them on the syllable before the last? There are, for instance, Toronto, Mis- sissippl, Alleghany, Appalachicola, Narragansett, Tuscaloosa, Saratoga, Ticonderoga, Oswego, Conshohocken, Wissahickon and Hochelaga. In all thtse names the accent is on the penult. “Niagara is a Huron word, and, if you find a Huron, you find that he ac- cents it as he does Saratoga or Tusca- loosa. I don’t know how we have fallen into the habit of accenting it wrong.” ——————— W They Called the Dog. Not long since, in a Mississippi coun- ty, a colored man sued a neighbor for damages for killing his dog. Colonel M., defendant’s lawyer, called “Sam” Parker, a negro, to prove that the dog was a worthless cur for whose de- struction no damage ought to be re- covered. “Sam, did you know this dog?" Col- onel M. asked. “Yes, sah; 1 wer' pussonally ac- quainted wit dat dog.” “Well, tell the jury what sort of a dog he was,"” said Colonel M. “‘He wer’ a big yaller dog.” “What was he good for?” Colonel M. asked. ““Well, he wouldn’t hunt; he wouldn't do gyard duty; he jes' lay 'round an’ eat. Dat make 'em call him' w'at dey did.” i ““Well, sir, what did they call him?" | asked Colonel M. | “Dey called him ‘Lawyer,” Philadelphia Public Ledger. ———————— The Life of the Cell. It is no extravagance and no mere figure of speech to say that cells move about with apparent purpose, that they feel, that they suffer and enjoy, that they absorb and assimilate food, that! they live, love, marry, propagate and | dls. And we can say with as much truth that they think. But of this last mentioned function it will be well to defer discussion until a subsequent time. The cell, therefore, does all that the man does, has all that the man has, and possesses within its tiny com- | pass heart, vein, musele, nerve, astery, | skin, bone, cartilage and what-not. of the future organism of the composi-| tion of which it forms one of the ulti- mtte constituent parts.—National Mag- | azine. sah."— i | e 17,600 Letters on Postal Card.
