Btick Hills Murderer Must Hang
for His Crime
Dead wood,Hept. 7.—With tbe affirm
ing of the judgment of the lower court
ny the supreme court in tbe case of the
state versus Bill Dunn, alias Charles
Hayneg, who was convicted of the mur
der of Frederick Hamuelaon,the history
of Dunn bids fair to soon come to a
tragic end.
The mnrder of which be was con
victed was that of a young workman
out near Hpearfish. of whom Dnnn was
said to 1*' jealous. They U)th loved
the same girl, and although Dunn, as
be
was known
heie,
was a man past
middle life, and Haniuelrton a young
man,nevertnelet8 Dunn bad not seemed
to fear bis rival until the night when,
angeied with jealousy, he shot 8am
ueison. who died instantly.
The most thrilliug incident in con
nection with the crime was the snc
ceattful manner iu which Duun for
the next three weeks eluded the offi
cers of the law. He remained in the
mountains near the vicinity of biB
crime for sometime, and even came
down at nights, more than once to bis
little cabin for food and supplies.
Unce he was bidden in a clump of
plnm trees, when the posse in search of
him parsed by and baited their horses
so near that the concealed criminal
could hear them discuss their plans for
his capture. For weeks the search
went on. One innoceut man. because
of his likeness to the hunted man,
nearly lost his life every one answer
ing to the description was suspected
Finally after a search of more than
twenty days Duun wan found down on
the hanks of the Cheyenne river, some
thirty^ miles from ibe seat of tbe
crimed, placidly catching grasshoppers
to use as tait. .. After being taken be
attempted suicide.
When tried last September he was
found gnilty and sentenced to he
hanged.
The case appealed to the an
preme court, with the resalt above
noted. Since sentence was passed on
bim, Dunn baa proved a inodal pri

J. G- Walters Arrested for Ob

Pretenses.
Sltm* Falls, Sept. 7.—J.(*. Walters,
who for a year or more made Sioux

So Declares Bishop Samuel Fal
lows of Chicago.
"TELEPATHY ESTABLISHED."
Prominent tSfvtne of Reformed Eplg
o a u S a y s e N e v e S a w a
Spirit, but Has Known People Who
Have 8een 6pirits~rNew gifawoa «f
"Immortalism."
"Telepathy is an established fact In
recent years great strides have been
made in tbe explanation of psycbi
phenomena, and hi the years to conit
tbe science of communication with tbt
dead will be made a part of the currk
uluiu of great educational institution
As its study becomes systematized ami
more widely spread greater advance
will be made, and some day we wiii
talk with the spirits as we now talk
with material persons."
This statement is made by Bishop
Samuel Fallows of tbe Reformed Epb
copal church. He Is well known in
Chicago, where he resides.
Future advancement in the science
of "immortalism," wbich is BfHritunl
ism with the "fakes" left out, wiil
some day briug it to the point where
it will be studied by the masses just
as they now delve into Latin, arlthuu
tic, geography or grammar, according
to Bishop Fallows, who spoke at St
Paul's Reformed Episcopal church on
"Why Am 1 an Immortalist and Not a
Spiritualist?"
The bishop made startling statement s
to the writer. He frankly states that
he formerly fought shy of spiritualism
and that he is just beginning to learn
In the enlightened days to come, saj -j
Dr. Fallows, we shall be able to con
verse with spirits of departed friend
and relatives. Their state will be made
known to us through these communi
cations. They will be able to advise
us on knotty problems, he adds.
Hasn't Yet Seen a Spirit.
Bishop Fallows quotes a speech of
Dr. Adam Clarke, lu which that celt
brated commentator said:
"I believe that spirits may, accord
lng to the order of CJod, In the laws of
their place of residence, have inter
course with this world and become vis
ible to mortals."
"Did you ever see
a spirit Bishop
Fallows was asked.
"No, I never have," was the answer,
"but I know persons who claimed to
have seen and talked with spirits, in
telligent members of my own congre
gation, whose words I have no reason
to doubt
"I discouraged them in their belief. I
now feel that their experiences were
of great value and that I sustained an
incalculable loss by not going deeper
into the matter with them."
"You really believe, then, that spir
its may be visible to material persons
and that they may talk with and influ
ence a material mind?" he was asked.
"I do firmly believe that. There are
well authenticated cases on record
where important actions of noted men
had beeu influenced by some super
natural communication.
"Mysterious Agencies.""
"In many cases they were UBSWS to
Identify the mysterious agencies. They
had merely an intangible feeling that
they should change their course. But
in other cases they were able to re
member the spirit who talked to them,
to repeat its exact words and to de
scribe its appearance. These instances
cannot be doubted, as they come from
men high in their professions.
"There are great truths in spiritual
ism. Many spiritualistic phenomena
we cannot understand, but we have to
admit them. I have called the new
science 'immortalism' because it de
pends for its existence upon the im
mortality of the soul, in which we all
believe, and tbe preservation of iden
tity beyond the grave. Immortalism Is
simply spiritualism with all the frauds
and trickery eliminated. On account
of these frauds spiritualism has been
shunned by many right thinking peo
ple, but immortalism will claim their
most earnest attention."
In support of his belief Bishop Fal
lows quoted from many eminent men
who have expressed similar views.
Where Man Has Been Tamed.
ftaw comes the woman of many hus
bands, a suggestion that man is con
quered. Miss Charlotte Mansfield,
who has returned to London from a
trip through central Africa in which
she covered 2.000 miles In 150 days,
found two tribes in TImtall chieftalned
by women. The men are the slave
sex. If Miss Mansfield be not a humor
ist. Every woman chief has from
three to ten husbands. The men do
all the work, and the women enforce
the rude laws for government and
designate the officials.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by conntitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con

fbtmed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirelv closed, deafnens is the result, and
unless the infiamation cc.n be taken out
and thin tube is restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
