Ta!e of Ghooting of Goebol Told for
the First Time by an Ac- .
, complice.'
lltnry F. You.scy at Krankfort, Ky.,
told on the wltnt'fs stnnd his story of
tlio killing of the Inte Q.ivernor Go?bcl.
Ho nn.ned Janiej IlcwRid, tlio difond
ant, as tho man who fired the shot.
Youirry said ho saw Howard for tho
first Mno a few minutes before tho
shootirjc. Hownrd had a lottor srnt
him several tlnys before by tho wit
ness at Govern r Tnylor's dlctntlon.
Youtsey says ho took Howard Into the
office of Caleb Powers, then secretary
of state, which had Veen esprt tally ar
range J for the ehoctlng. He showed
Howard tho Marlln rifle, tho K.illets
and the window from which the shoot
Inn was to be done. He says Howard
asked whnt he was to set for doing
the shooting. "What do you want for
It?" Youtsey says ha aRked, and that
Howard said he wanted a pardon for
killing1 George "Raker. "I told him he
could have that and more, too," sal J
Yontaey. "About that time," said tho
witness, "Goebol came In the gate, and
I pointed him out to Howard and then
ran from tho room. As I disappeared
down tho steps to the basement I
heard the crack of Howard's rlflo. "I
stayed In tho office of Assistant Sec
retary of State Matthews." said the
witness, "for a few moments, and saw
Matthews break open Caleb Powers'
offlro and And the guns that had been
left In there." Youtsey said that at
lho time of the shooting ho was pri
vate Beerelary to Auditor Sweeney,
and it was tinderotond he was to have
a good placo itndar Taylor. "Governor
Taylor," said Youtsey, "directed every
thing v o did. We regarded him as our
leader, and ho wa3 morally responsi
ble for all we did. Wo knew wo had
the governor and the pardoning board
power behind us. and we were not
afraid of punishment for killing Goe
Ijel." Youtsey paid further, that he
"had an additional Incentive to tell the
story, as Taylor, Powers and others
had used him as a cntspaw and scape
goat, and then deserted him when he
ot Into trouble. Attorney Vlolette
asked several question, the evident
purpose of which was to show that Dr.
Johnson, and not Howard, shot Coo
lie!. Yontsey admitted that he and
Johnson had planned to kill Goebel,
nnd that Johnson would do tho shoot
ing. W. J. Davidson, then superin
tendent of public Instruction, he said
offered to allow Johnson the use of
Tils office to do the shooting. Witness,
"however, did not approve of Johnson's
plans for the killing.

LONG LOST HEIRESS FOUND.
Discovered Among Kidnaping Cree
Indiana Wat Iden Ified by
Her Ring.
Mathilda Youngqulst, long thought
to be dead, heiress to a large estate
at Stockholm, Sweden, has been
found living among Cree Indiana as
a member of the tribe. A gold ring
given her by her father and mother,
who were killed In a raid by the
Crees, many years ago, has estab
lished her Identity. When John An
derson, a relative, oppeared In Kal
lEpel. Mont., a year ago, and made
Inquiries' for a family nnmcd Young
qulst, no one could aid him. Finally
he met an old resident who remem
bered that, ninny years ago, Frank
Youngqulst had tried to operato a
ranch In the extrome northern part
of the State, near what Is now the
Illdckfoot reservation. One day the
ranch was raided by Cree Indians,
who killed Mr. and Mrs. Youngqulst
and carried away their little baby girl
Mothllda, then 4 years old. Ander
sen met tho girl with a band of Crees.

away by the Indians after her father
ur.d het mother had been killed, and
that i '.nee then she had been with
the Indians and was the widow of a
member of the band who was killed
In a snowsltde several weeks ago.
Sho remembered nothing of her par
ents, she said, except that they were
white, like Anderson. All she had
left to rvuember them by was a lit
tle gold ring. There was an Inscrip
tion rn the Inside of this ring, but
as sho on Id not read she did not
kiiow what it was. Anderson read
the Inscription .which established the
Indentlty of the owner of tho orna
ment. It joads: "To Mathilda, from
Papa and Mamma Youngqulst, 1885."
Anderson and the girl will go to
Sweden Immediately.

MILLIONS INVOLVED.
To Rival Standard by Consolidation of
Many Concerns. .,
"The blgaest oil deal ever consum
mated In the Trenton Dock fields, of
Ohio and Indiana, larger than any ne
gotiations the Standnrd Oil Company
ever made at one time, Is about com
pleted. Oil properties Involving be
tween $0,0(10,000 and $7,000,000 are
about to be transferred. There are
thousands of barrels production, thous
ands of acres of leases and hundreds
of wells In many different counties.
Moreover, the transfer includes pipe
lines and refineries, tank cars; In fact.
all the equipment required to trans
fer the fluid from the hole In the
ground to the consumer. Though It Is
not claimed to be an organization to
fight the Standard, it will certainly be
come an active competitor. The nego
tiations have been conducted by Wil
liam L. and Charles E. Russell in be
half of a strong French syndicate, and
the properties involve wells through
out Ohio and Indiana. Last year the
net oil runs from the properties now
merged made $1,000,000 for their half
hundred owners. The transaction Is
enough to send shipments far ahead of
runs of the Standard's pipe lines."
OLD TESTAMENT ORIGIN.
Dr. Haupt Agrees That Much of It
Originated In Babylon.
At the convention of the American
Oriental Society at Baltimore, Prof.
Christopher Johnson read a paper
upon the codo of Hammurabi, deduct
ing evidence to show that this was the
source from which the Mosaic law
was drawn. In his paper on "Bible
and Babel" Dr. Haupt said: "If my
friend Delltzseh had not delivered his
lecture on 'Babel and Bible' In the
presence of the German Emperor, It
would not have attracted so much at
tention." Dr. Haupt said the views
expressed by Delltzseh do not differ
materially from the opinions enter
tained by biblical scholars during the
past 25 years. "The Idea," he said,
"that a great part of the Bible orig
inated In Babylon Is not new."

Quick action and common sense
treatment of a critical situation by an

that a force of rebels had planned an

pared to del end the foreign residents.
An armed force of 3,000 rebels had

were hiding with sympathizers. As
most of the foreigners and official rep

In Issuing a warrant for the sur

Dr. Charles S. Harle, now held In ar
rest at EI Paao, Tex., as accessory to
a murder committed In Chihuahua
Mexico, the State department at Wash'

punishment of a peculiarly atrocious
crime which has engaged the atten
tlon of the two governments and one
of the big New York life Insurance
companies for months. The papers
filed at the State department allege
that the Mexican agent of the com
pany, T. C. Richardson, a man named
Meredith and Dr. Harle conspired to
murder a man to collect the insurance
on his life, the policy for which had
been issued by Richaruson and made
payable to Meredith. The victim was
slowly poisoned to death and the doc
tor certified that he died from nat
ural causes. The doctor's defense Is
that he did not administer tho drug.
Richardson and Meredith, also arrest

has sworn out new charges and they
will be arrested again and held for

R. O. Dun ft Co.' "Weekly Review
of Trado" says: Cold and wet weath

and summer weiring apparel. Jobber
felt the effects In a lessened activity
and agricultural operations made Ir
regular protTess. Production of farm
taples may not bo curtailed by the
latter planting, although In tome cibcs
thero will be greater danger cf !o-s st
the end of the Beasnn throng'.) early
frost. Traffic conditions are steadily
Improving, yet some complaints aro
still heard, and further addition to
motive power and terminal facilities
must be made If nnother congestion
Is to be averted at the next time of
pressure. Railway earnings thus far
n April exceed last year s by 12.5 per
cent and those of 1901 by 24.1 per cent.
Several factors tend to delay the plac
ing of contracts for pig Iron deliveries
after July 1, which weakens tho tone,
nnd it is reported that Bessemer is
freely offered at $20, Valley furnace,
without attracting purchasers. Such
small concessions as are offered In
crease the disposition of prospective
buyers to wait as long as possible. An
output of over 300,000 ton of coke
weekly and sufficient traffic facilities
to keep furnace supplied remove the
alarm regarding future scarcity, and
the situation has become more normal,
which makes It possible to ascertain
to what extent prices have been In
flated by special conditions. Thus far
no accumulation of material is re
ported, notwithstanding unprecedented
production, and the prospect favor
continued activity In demand after the
present uncertainty is past. Contracts
for structural steel are also placed
with great caution, not because ot
light business In sight, but owing to
the fear of labor troubles. It Is hoped
that controversies In the building
trades will be settled by May 1. In
which case large orders for steel
shapes will be offered, as plans for
many new bridges and structures are
under consideration. Failures for this
