According to this theory John W.

Archer was an employe of the same au- tomobile company for which Bate worked. g It-is a singular fact that Archer and Bate were the onlx two chauffeurs on duty when the automobile was hired by telephone for “Mr. Dove,” the sup- posed murderer.

Glos- ser, a patient in the county asylum for the insane at Dunning, was choked to death last night, and to-morrow the Coroner will endeavor to ascertain whether he was killed by Alexander Harper, a colored man, who is also a patient in the asylum, or whether it was done by John Conway and Scott Hogan, two of the asylum attendants. Hogan and Conway assert that Glos- ser was violent and that Harper as- sisted them in placing him under re- straint, and Harper declares that both the attendants kicked Glosser and that Hogan choked him. The trouble started with a fight be- tween Glosser and Harper, in which the former was the aggressor. He was finally strapped to his bed by the at- tendants and Harper, but working loose from the straps that held him he again attacked Harper. The two at- tendants came to the assistance of Har- per and a desperate struggle ensued. Glosser soon became unconscious, and one of the physicians was called and His windpipe had been broken in the severe choking Circuit Judge William Galloway of he had received and his body was ter- ribly bruised, there being many marks of boot heels in the flesh.”Dr. Springer, the county physician, who held an au- topsy to-night, declared that it was ut- | terly impossible for Harper to have in- received the original commission to ac- Judge testified that he was Rt iver of company “Dove.” A sudden impulse the United States land office regon or presentiment of danger led Archer (City from February, 1896, to , 1902, | to turn the work over to Bate. during the period when Mrs. er, or | | 1 ! | | !ing. .Governor Yates | Governor Archer has for months believed him- self in danger, since he gave evidence in the case of an alleged professional slugger who was charged with having attacked non-union electrical workers and who was freed by a change of court records.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Nov. 23.— received a telegram to-day from Sheriff Stein of Franklin County, stating that the Sheriff would be able to control the situation at Zeigler if furnished by the State with rifles and ammunition with which to arm special deputies that had been sworn in. Sheriff Stein reported that a number of shots had been exchang- ed between unknown parties and non- union employes of the Zeigler Coal Company, with the result that several | persons have been wounded. Acting on Sheriff Stein's request Yates ordered Adjutant General Scott to send fifty rifles and 5000 rounds of ammunition to Zeig- ler. linois at his office in company with S. A. D. Puter and had sald that Puter had some land cases which he was inter- ested in and would like to have ex- pedited by the department. ator Mitchell was mnot present and could not be questioned, but the ob- jection was not heeded by the court. “Did any one accompany Mr. Puter?” “There was a woman with him,” re- plied the witness, “that is as far as I can remember, also a clerk named Valk. The clerk said that the paperg were all right, that he had examined them, and I sent them to Governor Richards, my assistant, who afterward issued the final papers.” Hermann had only seen the woman once, he said, and when asked if he could identify her responded®in the negative.

Captain Lewis reports ome of the most unusual occurrences. While his vessel rolled in the heavy seas off the mouth of the Columbia River yester- day, threatening every moment to go to the bottom, three steam schooners bound south and" three bound north passed him, yet none offered him as- sistance. , The providential appearance of the San Francisco liner George W.

Excepting a few raw po- | tatoes the men had nothing to eat and only such water as could be secured by catching rain in their oilskin hats. Cap- tain Lewis states that he could not pos- sibly have survived two days longer. The Webfoot sailed from Coos Bay for San Francisco on October 14, carry- ing a cargo of 350,000 feet of lumber. Soon after leaving port she encounter- ed the first of the heavy gales which recently prevailed. On the 18th she be- came water-logged.

Tuesday afternoon, after the six vessels had passed the barken- tine and failed to offer assistance, the mate, named Bromer, and two seamen, one named O'Neill, left the vessel in a small boat to seek assistance. At this time the gale was raging with great fury, and there is no doubt that the three men were drowned. This morning the steamer Elder, on her way to San Francisco, sighted the dismasted barkentine off Tillamook Rock. The Elder gave the men some provisions and hastened back to the Columbia River, where she summoned assistance. Tugs and Government ves- sels put to sea, and the Wallula soon had the wreck in tow. When the Web- foot arrived here her men were almost dead. The vessel is a total loss except for her lumber cargo, of which 100,000 feet wus lost. She was built in 1869 at Coos Bay and is owned by the Simpson Lumber Company. s ANOTHER STORM VICTIM. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Nov. 23.

The woman's search was re- warded yesterday aftermoon when she stumbled across his remalns strung to the limb of a tree in Sutro Park forest, near the Corbett road. Every day since Pfeefer had been missing his wife hunted over the hiils and among the sand dunes for her hus- band's body. She was convinced that he had taken his own life and her sur- mise proved startlingly correct. Until about.six months ago Pfeefar conducted a small bakery on Church street, near Seventeenth. When he sold out he made no effort to acquire another busin or secure employ- ment. About a month ago it was mno- ticed that he acted strangely. He was pensive and he seldom spoke to any one. On the morning of November 14 he left his home saying that he would return in the evening, but when he did not do so his wife started a search for | him. First she visited all of her hus- o'clock this morning, which will be at- tended by the rabbis of the synagogues 0f the city. Rabbi Voorsanger will de- liver the oration band’s haunts, and when she found he had not been seen in any of these she started about the city inquiring if any one had seen “a man with a coat buttoned over an undershirt rambling about.” Yesterday, in company with her brother-in-law, Conrad Dettling, she visited the Sutro forest. After sev- eral hours’ tramp she came upon the body, then she went to St. Boniface's Church for advice and the priests told her to notify the officials. A strange feature of the case is that while Pfeefer has been missing nearly two weeks yet he hanged himself with- in twenty-four hours of the time he was found. This was determined by the condition of the body. Just where Pfeefer spent the intervening time is hard to tell, but the Morgue officials will endeavor to ascertain. His family say he was, without doubt, insane, and the deed is attributed to insanity. —_——————— TRAMPS TRY TO WRECK A PASSENGER TRAIN Are Arrested Near Santa Barbara and Make a Confession to the Sheriff. A report was received by Manager | Agler of the Southern Pacific .Com- pany yesterday that an attempt had been made to wreck southbound pas- senger train No. 10 a few miles this side of Santa Barbara.” Fortunhately the wreckers were discovered fn their dastardly work and an aécident nar- rowly averted. Shortly after a north- bound train left Santa Barbara at an early hour yesterday morning two | tramps were ejected from ome of the forward cars. An hour later the men gathered together a number of empty powder cans, which they filled with rccks, and then pilled them on the track with several big boulders. While engaged in their work they were seen by a man on his way to Capitan. The latter reported the mat- ter to the railroad officials, who sent out section hands to signal the south- bound passenger train and clear the track. On their way to the scene of the attempted wreck the railroad men captured two tramps, who answered the description of the men who had been piling obstructions on the rails. The men were taken later to Santa Barbara, where they were turned over to the Sheriff and to whom they later made a full confes- sion. They said they put the obstruc- tion on the track to get even with the company for putting them off the train. Had the passenger train struck the obstruction it is probable that a serious wreck would have resulted. ——— . ‘Window Cleaner Impaled on Fence. Y.
