SHOT TO DEATH.
TRAGIC END OF UNKNOWN ENG-
LISHMAN IN MONTREAL.
He Had Stabbed Assailant—Quarrel
the Previous Evening—Man Who
Was Stabbed Came Again and
Avenged Himself,
Montreal, July 13.—Murder was com-
mitted this afternoon in the living
tootles 'above a Chinese barber shop in
Lagauohetiere street west. The victim,
apparently an Englishman, is unknown,
having nothing on his person by which
his identity could be established. He
is between 35 and 40 years of age and
is well dressed, and when searched at
the morgue had some money in his
pockets.
From what can be learned by the
pollee from the keeper of the place,
Tong Kee, It seems that the man, with
two other's, lied celled at his place,
which is situated in the heart of Mont-
real's Chinatown,,and had asked for
opium. Kee says he told hire that he
had none, hut the three men went into
one of his rooms upstairs and remained
there for some time. Then they be-
gan quarrelling, and the man who is
now dead, the stays, stabbed one of the
others in' the head and hand.
To -day at noon the unknpwn victim,
with two friends, returned to the place
and demanded opium, which Keo says
was again refused them. They took
a room upstairs, and had only been
there a few moments when the man
who was stabbed the night before, with
one hand in u sling, and his head
bandaged up, came along and asked if
Ids acquaintances were In. On being
informed in the affirmative, he asked
for the room they were in, and on be-
ing
e.ing directed, went into it, and a second
or two later two shots weer heard. '19te
three men who were with the victim
of the shooting rushed down stairs, one
of theta falling headlong two flights in
his burry to escape.
The victim was shot twice through the
right lung with a 38 -calibre revolver,
and death was instantaneous.

BLIND PIGS.
SEVERAL COBALT CASES HEARD
AND FINES IMPOSED.
Two Liquor Detectives Give Evidence
—Well -Known Citizens Implicated
—A Number of Cases Stand Over
Until To-day.
r
Cobalt despatch: The one theme which
has occupied the attention of residents
and visitors alike at Cobalt during the
poet few days hos been the suppres-
sion of "blind pigs;' owing to the
stringent steps which the government
officials have taken. As a result the
police court was today leecIiged'by a
erowd of defendants, witnesses and
spectatore when Magistrate Brown took
the mutter. in ''rand. Mr. Rude Saunders,
who represented the l'rovimdal Licens-
ing Department, conducted the prosecu-
tion. Those present included Detective
Greer and 0. 14, Morrison, of the License
Department, Toronto, while theinter.
este of the defendants were watched
by Messrs, Geo. Mitchell, S. White and
Slaght.
The first case taken up canto ns a
damper on those soon to appear, for $50'
and testa or three months were handed
out, and the defendant in the ease in-
timated that he would have to go down,.
because be had not the money to pay
and no friends.
Then followed two eases, however,,
which resulted in diemissols. One prom.
Ment hotulkceper's case was adjourned
till to -morrow morning.
Two liquor detectives, Thos. H. Wehn-
er and William l'iloon, proved nearly
all the cases, and the evidence revealed
the fact that they had mixed freely
among "blind piggies," and thus mnde
their scoops. One admitted that he had
been a drinker since ten years of age,
and when pressed by the council as to
the name of his employers, said it was a
Toronto office of a Chicago firm, but
declined to memo them. Many amus-
ing incidente were noted, but, turning
to the serious aide.
Mr, Saunders intimated it was the in-
tention of the government to put down
the illicit sale, Ile it was absolutely nec-
essary to protect the residents. The me.
thods of the detectives were revealed
by the severe erose -examination of Mr.
Slaght, who pressed one to admit hs
was intoxicated: on one day, and that
he had flourished a gun, using threats
also.
The evidence caused much sensation
in court, even among those summoned.
Extreme interest is centred on the
trials yet to be heard, for they involve
many prominent people around the
camp.
James Stewart was fined $fro and
costs in each case of two charges.

REVOLVING HOUSE.
TO BE BUILT FOR NEW YORK
JEWELLER.
Owner Wants to be Able to Change
the View From a Roam, and in
Summer to Swing Living Rooms
Round to the Breeze`
New York, July 13.—A house that will
turn around and around to suit the de.
sire of the occupants is probably about
the newest thing in domestic construc-
tion, but Clarence True, an architect,
of 95 Liberty street, said yesterday that
he hod been considering the problem in-
volved and expected shortly to begin
drawing the plans. The house is to be
bulitaat Little Neck ,Bay, Long Island,
for William Reiman, a jeweller, of 328
Fifth avenue, who for several years has
wished for just such a summer home.
"Prior to my decision to build," said
Mr. Reiman, " I made some experiments
on the matter,and foul 1 that such a
hones was entirely practicable. I don't
regard it as a fad, but as a piece of
common sense. I can see no reason for
being roasted or chilled in certain rooms
of a house year after year; besides,
there is the advantage of changing
the view of the room by swinging the
house around. In the hot months the
living rooms, for instance, can be shift-
ed to the point of the compass from
which the wind 1 blowing at the tine,"
Mr.""True, the architect, explained that
he did not expect any insurmountable
difficulties in design, `The house will
be of wood," he said, "but whether it
will be round or octagmml has toot yet
been deeiderla I have never heard of any
revolving houses, but the principle it
simply such as is used in a railroad
turntable, Tie motive power will prob-
ably be electricity, and since the house
will be mounted ott ball bearings the
idea is to have it swing about with
almost no noise or jar. In the ease of
the plumbing, that will probably be
solved by valve joint commotion between
the pipes and the mains in the cellar.
The cost of the loose completed, ex-
cltmsive of,tltn land, will be about $35;
coo, it is estlntottel."

ANOTHER HEIR FOUND.
The Estate This Time is Site of Dela-
ware, Ohio,
Chatham, July 13.—A story comes
from Kent county house of refuge
that Richard Depew, wino was com-
mitted to the refuge from Bothwell
in 1904, is heir to 00,000,000. Depew,
according to the story, backed by
lawyers, is the rightful owner of
the town site of tine city of Dela.
ware, Ohio. Delaware townsite was
granted to Depew's grandfather, but
his rights were usurped IF others.
Richard always knew of ire owner-
ship, often speaking of it to his
friends, who laughed that a man
claiming eo much should be poor and
in the county house of refuge.
However, a short time ago word came
from a firm of lnw'yers in Delaware,
staking inquiry as to the heirs of tate
first Depew, when Richard learned that
he was the sole heir, Since then the
legal: fire hos been looking after Itie
rights, and expects to see them sans.
factorily settled ere long.

THE NEW THREE RIVERS.
City Will be Rebuilt in Most Im-

A Montreal 'despitteh: Hon. Jacques
Burman arrived in the city today from
Three Rivers on his way to Ottawa.
In an interview be stated that a great-
er and more mailer. city would arise
from the tuba of Three Rivers, In
rebuilding the city attention will be
paid to securing streets at least ''sixty
six feet wide. Every modern conveni-
ence known to cities was being planned.
Mr. Bureau stated that the work of
rebuilding had been somewhat hindered
by the action of some of the insurance
companies, who had not settled their
fire losses. A few had been very
prompt, but a number were tardy.
Speaking of the loss, Mr. Bureau said
it was very heavy. The Dominion
Government alone lost over $300,000,
yet he believed that both the Dominion
and Provincial Governments would aid
the sufferers.

Gang of Thieves.
Chicago, July 13.—Startling- develop-
ments to -night, concerning the strangling
of Frances Thompson, or Gilmore, for-
merly' of Winghmit, Ont„ point to the
belief that ehe was pit out of the way
because site knew too much about the
operations of a gang of thieves, and
probably had threatened to betray the
members to the police.
In addition to this, the man who
sold "Raymond,' the alleged strangler,
the cotton rope with which he is said to
have garotted Mrs: Thompson, was found
to -day. The rope was purchased on Sun-
day night preceding the murder, in the
stere of D. Iirnnkelstein,
"I want a small, pliable rope, about
six feet long. Cut it in two pieces,"
said the customer.
The clerk out the length of rope
desired, and the purchaser left the
store.
The mart who bought the rope am
ewers exactly the description given of
the man who rented the room at 1,242
Michigan avenue, with Mrs. Thompson.
With the acknowledgment of Thomatt
he was the husband of the strangled
"woman of diamonds," and hie proving
an alibi for the past six weeks, the Chi-
cago police gave up the theory he knew
something of the murder of Mre. Fran-
ces Thompson. They are now making
every effort to find J. H. Raymond, who
lived with the woman at 1,242 Michigan
avenue,
Aesistent Chief Slutettler sent two
detectives to Minneapolis to question
Thompson about tate woman and her
associates, and the cause of his separat-
ing front his wife. He proved eon-
chtsively that he knew nothing about
the murder,
Detectives from inspector Wheeler's
office are said to have traced a man
who newts the description of Raymond
4., the Illinois-Centrni station nt Park
Row, where he purchased a ticket to
Detroit, Mich.
"Yes, we have traced n mat to De-
troit, and to the ferry running to Wind-
sor, Canada," said Inspector Wheeler,
"We do not know whether he is Ray-
mond or not, but he answers the de-
scription -f Raymond given by persons
who saw him with the woman who was
murdered. I feel confident we will solve
the mystery and have the murderer
under arrest within a short time."
"I am confident," said Assistant Chief
Sehnettler, "that the crime was com-
mited by some 'crook' or 'bad man,' In
the Harrison street district, who in some
manner enticed her into the Michigan
avenue hoose for the purpose of killing
her, I do not believe robbery was the
only motive."
Mrs, Susan Thompson, the norther of
Edward Thompson, declared ehe was
perfectly convinced her son bed no
knowledge of the crime until he read of
it in the newspapers, and turned himself
over to tine Minneapolis police.
"After he end itis wife separated,"
she said, "Fddie did not seem to care
anything about her -where ehe was
living or what she was doing. I believe
his }}site wished for a reconciliation,
hut I think site had not seen him since
he left Fargo, N. D., over two years ago."
