Y., Sept. 22.—The authorities of this entire section of the yreat North Woods are stirred to an unsurpassed state of activity by their eagerness to find the assassin who shot and killed O. P. Dexter, a New York millionaire. THE FATAL BULLET FOUND. The bullet with which Dexter was killed was recovered to-day from the horse the millionaire was driving when he was assassinated. It was necessary to kill the horse in order to get the piece of tell-tale lead, which had penetrated the animal for eighteen inches, following the muscles of the tall along the back from the entering point at the junction of the tail with the body. Dr. Baker, a veterinary, of St. Regis Falls, who was called in for the search, announced that the bullet had penetrated so far that he could not get it without maiming the horse for life. It was decided that the bullet aa BS be recayered, for its calibre and make may lead to the identification of Mr. Dexter’s murderer. Accordingly and with the consent .of Overseer Giles, of the Dexter estate, Deputy Sheriff-Mex Goodrich ordered the animal shot" The bullet was found to be of .38 calibre, of the style known as the woft-nose bullet. It was from a cartridge charged with ordinary black pow- der, used almost exclusively by the natives, as being rene cheaper than the smokeless powder sort. CONSTABLE SAYS HE KNOWS ASSASSIN. Constable John Farmer, jr., of this place, declared that the bullet told him who the murderer was, and started off for the mountains, saying he ‘would bring back the man and the gun. Farmer started at.11.80 A. M. to go @ distance of six miles for the round trip. He says that he met the man . he suspects on the road between St. Regis Falls and Santa Clara at 2.30 P. M, on Saturday, about an hour after the murder and before the news of it had gone abroad. The man, Farmer says, told him and four others at a house that Dex- ter had been killed, and that he was within 300 feet of him when Overseer Giles found the body. Giles and the Dexter gamekeeper, Russell, saw no one near when the body was found, and Farmer says that the suspect otheiwise gave the hint that he knew more than an honest: man hada right” to know. A big crowd is awaiting the return of Farmer with the prisoner. THREATS AGAINST PINKER TON. The report that Pinkerton men are coming to run down the murderer of Mr. Dexter has created great excitement in this section. - Crowds of guides, trappers and Indians gathered at the ratlroad station to’meet the CA UGHNAWAGA’S STAKES; GIANTS CLOSE IN CHICA GO, EVENING WORLD'S).

RACE TRACK, GRAVESEND, N. ¥., Gept. 22.—Of course there was some dis- appointment that McChesney and Her- mis did not come together in the’ Ocel- dental Handicap this afternoon, but with them out of the race it was even more interesting. The field that started was very well matched and promised a keene contest. The Sea Breeze Stakes also had a good field and these two stakes furnished attractions that brought out a very good attendance, The other races filled in very well, and altogether it looked one of the most promising afternoons of the week.

INDIANS ON TRAIL. _ A picturesque feature of the hunt already begun is the advent as aides of a band of St. Regis Indians, who came over the border from their reser- Yation, in St. Lawrenoe County, ifito Franklin County, led by their chief, Nehazane. The cleverness of the redmen in tracking the forest footmarks not discernible to even the most experienced of white guides is admitted, and it is expected that the St. Regis braves will prove of veluable aesist- ance to the Pinkerton detectives, The section about Dexter Lake, the scene of the tragedy, is sparsely set- tled, and part of the plan is to round up every man living within a radius of twenty miles of Dexter Lake and {nsist on knowing where each was on mn the afternoon of the murder, BAND OF TRAPPERS, TOO, William Rockefeller, whose 150 square miles of preserve adjoins the Dexter property, is seriously disturbed by the wanton murder of his nelgh- bor, and is showing unusual activity. Early to-day Paul Smith, the noted game-keeper and guide, organized a band of 100 trappers and guides to keep moving singly and in small bodies over the great tract in order to prevent any unauthorized person from stay ing within its boundaries, It is certain that the searchers will not receive enthusiastic assistance from the bulk of the native populace. Mr. Dexter's strenuous activity in excluding every one but himself from his:fne. preserves has created the most bitter feeling, and if thre is not positive exultation because of his tragic end there {s little sympathy with the efforts to discover the perpetrator of the crime, AGED FATHER TIRELESS IN DIRECTING SEARCH. Henry Dexter, the nincty-year old father of Orlando P. Dexter, is ready to spend his entire fortune to bring the agsassin of his son to Justice, The aged millionaire is breaking under the shock of his son's tragic fleath. His nerves are gone completely, He cannot rest a moment.

A detec- tive has been assigned to pick him up and shadow him. The name of the man was not revealed, A reporter for The Evening World learned late this afternoon. that Homer Hole, who was Kilpatrick’s classmate at college, had a violent alter-" : cation yesterday afternoon with Charles D.

HOLE BELIEVES IT MURDER. L. A. Hole, a member of the firm of W. N.
