out straight from the shoulder. His
wife went down in a heap and her hat

gentlemen registered at the - Battersby
House as R. H. Graham, Goderich, and
left next day for St. Williams, having
purchased a share of Anderson's stock
from H. H. Groff,the stock being owned
by Mr. G. R. Perry, who now resides in
London. On arriving at St. Williams
he secured the services of William
Helmer, a hunter, fisherman and trap
per, to accompany him as guide and
take him to his preserve. They reach-
ed there all right, and nothing is
known of their after doings until Fri-
day morning, On that morning as
Helmer was getting the breakfast, Al-
lan stated that ho guessed he would go
out on his own hook and' see what h
could do. He left anditt a short time
Helmer heard two shots, but did not go
out. Presently two men, keepers nor
the Long Point Company, named Belt
nett and Price, called et the lodge for
Allan to go out with them, and. Helmer.
told them Allan had gone. They then
left, taking the same path that Allan.
did. On going• a short distance they
came across the lifeless form of Allan
with a wound in his forehead, the shot,
which apparently was mixed with
buckshot, entering the forehead a little
over the right eye, plowing a hole and
tai nig a ridge over the top of his
head, • cuttinggout at the baso of the
brain a little to the right, ' :His eye•
grower wero apparentlyscorched by
powder. Within a few yards lay his
gun with one barbel diseharged,a hunt-
ing knife, and near by the carcase of
a huge buck, which had been shot and
its throat out presumably by Allan,

Coroner Hayes s mmoted a
jury, 'A
post mortem was held and the inquest
was adjournrd.'
Chicago, Oct. 28. -Another crazy
crank has done his deadly work, and
Carter Harrison, five times mayor of
Chicago, and one of tno best `known'
n en in the west, lies dead at his home,
in Chicago. Three bullets entered his
body, two of them making wounds suf-
ficient to cense death The murder
was committed by Eugene Patrick
Prendergast, a paper carrier, who de-
clared that Mayor Harrison had prom-
ised to make him corporation counsel
and had not kept his word. This he
said was his only reason for commit-
ting the crime. The only person in the
house at the time besides Mr. Harrison
was his son, William Prestou Harrison,
25 years of age, and the servants.
Shortly before 8 o'clock the door bell
rang, and when Mary Hansen, the do-
mestic, opened the door, she was con-
fronted by a man about five feet five
inches, smooth -shaven, his rather clean
cut features lit up by a pair of dark
eyes. "Is Mr. Harrison in?" asked the
man in a !pleasant voice, "Yes ' six,
resnonded the girl as she threw the
door wider open to permit his entrance. -
"I would like to see flim please," said
the man as he walked toward the back
end of the hall- Mr. Harrison was in
the dining -room. Hearing the man ask
for him he rose and, stepping into the
hall, walked toward Prendergast, who, -
by the time he caught sight of Mr.
Harrison, had advanced about ten feet
from the doorway. Without saying a
word. Prendergast drew his revolver
and commenced to fire. He pulled the
trigger but three tines and every bul-
let bit the mark. One ball shattered
Mr. Harrison's left hand, another pass-
ed Into the right side of the abdomen,
making a wound that would have been
mortal in a few days; the third bullet
entered the chest, slightly above the
heart. This bullet was the immediate
cause of death.
