Found Dead With Horrible
Wound in the Head.
SHERIFF TO HOLD INQUEST.
ftalo Compton , Seventeen Years Old ,
Met His Death Mysteriously Sup
posed to Have Deen an Accident as
He Carried a Gun.
" \Vnkofleld , Nob. , Nov. C. Special
to The News : The body of Halo
Compton , seventeen years of ngo ,
Tvli03o ) parents live near this place ,
was found at noon yesterday , with a
horrible gunshot wound through his
licad , and It Is supposed that his
death was accidental as ho had been
hunting and carried a gun. The
charge entered under the jaw and
came out near the eye , so that death
must have been almost Instantaneous.
Young Compton left his homo
Wednesday evening for a neighbor's
house , where ho expected to spent !
the night , and his folks wore not
alarmed about him , as ho was not ox-
Tocted home. Yesterday at noon his
body was found lying stiff and cold
In a-pool of his own blood where it
had evidently lain since the evening
before.
An effort was made to get the cor
oner from Wayne , but ho was absent
from homo on other business and the
sheriff went to the scene of the- mys
terious tragedy and will probably hold
n inquest today.
Every appearance indicates that
the gun was accidentally discharged
Sn some manner when the muzzle was
under the young man's jaw , but it
may have been done purposely , or
there is a possibility that a murder
was committed. It is hoped that the
coroner's inquest will develop what
\r \ facts In the case are obtainable that
4he mystery surrounding the case
may be cleared away.

FARRIS EVIDENCE IS ALL IN.
Defense Weakens Case Made by the
Prosecution.
Jefferson City , Mo. , Nov. C. The ev
idence has been completed in the Kar
ris bribery trial. The feature of the
trial was the reading of letters sent
by former Lieutenant Governor John
A. Leo to D. J. Kelley. Only ono of
these , seemed to have much direct
bearing on the case , and this was one
where he said ho had drawn out $7-
000 from the "bank on March 19 , 1901 ,
and sent it to Kelley. This was the
date when Lee said he drew $7,000
mid paid it to Senator Farris. Leo
denied writing the letter , but the de
fense had it identified by Paying Tel
ler Hettel of the Amarlcan Exchange
bank , St. Louis , as beinu in Lee's
handwriting. The defense Introduced
several witnesses in an endeavor to
Impeach Lee's testimony on a number
of points. It is believed the defense
weakened the case made by the state.

ALLEN TALKS ABOUT ELECTION ,
Former Senator From Madison Thinks
There Will be a Populist Ticket
Next Fall.
Fremont , Neb. , Nov. ' 0. Former
Senator William V. Allen passed
through hero on his way to Madison
from Lincoln. IIo was interviewed
upon the election results.
Mr. Allen does not regard the re
sult of the election in Nebraska as
a defeat for the populist party. IIo
stated that it was purely and simply
a democratic setback. The populists ,
lie thought , had no intention of aban
doning their organlMjil , but would
have a separate national ticket in
the field next year.
"Our ranks have been thinned out
to some extent , it is true , " ho said ,
"by the return o'f some members to
the republican and democratic par
ties , from which they came , but there
arc enough left to compose a good
working organization. There is no
question but that the populists will
have their own presidential ticket
next year , and their nominees will
not be those of the democratic or
the republican parties. Locally , it is
not improbable that there will con
tinue to bo fusion. "
"Mr. Bryan is too sagacious , I
think , to Indicate In advance what
his position will be If Cleveland gets
the nomination. It Is possible , but
hardly probable , that ho will sup
port Cleveland. "

BUSY AT WASHINGTON.
United States to Have Free Hand
In Isthmus.
Washington , Nov. G. The Associ
ated Press Is Informed that the pres
ident probably will make a statement
today regarding the provisional gov
ernment of the republic of Panama , of
the establishment of which this gov
ernment was officially informed. In
view of the latest advices from Colon
to the effect that the junta has suc
ceeded In gaining control of the situa
tion , it is currently expected that this
government will recognlzq the newly
organized government , but It was Im
possible to secure official information
on this point.
A cablegram was received from the
American consul at Colon saying that
the 400 Colombian troops which ar
rived there Monday on the Cartagena
had sailed away.
The Associated Press Is enabled testate
state that this government will con
duct affairs with a firm hand In the
execution of the treaty of 184G.
Orders have been sent to the vari
ous naval commanders in the Car
ibbean that the isthmus Is to bo po
liced , the traffic kept open and that
bloodshed must be prevented at any
cost. This Is further than the United
States lias ever gone before , and , in
the opinion of officials here , Indicates
that the establishment of the new
government of Panama , If it proves
stable and orderly , will have the good
wishes of the United States and our
ultimate recognition and co-operation
In conducting an orderly anil perma
nent government on the isthmus Ad
vocates of the construction of the
Panama canal sa" this assures the ex
ecution of that project.
The dispatch received from the ex
ecutive board of the new government
announcing the establishment of the
provisional government of the repub
lic of Panama , statnj that its action
was In response to a popular demand
on the part of the isthmian people ,
and that the board was assured of
the necessary military strength to
tarry out its determination.
The departure of the troops from
Colon greatly relieves the seriousness
of the situation and the arrival of the
Dixie relieved the general apprehen
sion here regarding the safety of
American lives and property.
This government , It was said , Is In
terested , but not suprprised , to note
the European approval of Its policy ,
as shown in the Associated Press dis
patches from London , Berlin and
Paris , but It was added by a high
official , that the restoration of order
on the Isthmus and Its maintenance
had been long desired by the Euro
pean powers , and that the United
States was in reality doing them and
their interests a service.
