TEXAS FEVER IN CHICAGO
The Dreaded Cattle Disease Among the Dairy Cows.
CHICAGO, July 29. - Texas fever has made its appearance among the cows near the city limits in a portion of the twenty-eighth ward, this city, and about twenty of them have died from the effects of that disease.  Inspectors of the health department have made a post mortem examination in several cases and pronounce the disease true Texan fever.  The supposition is that animals contracted it from refuse which dropped from railroad cars in which Texas cattle were being transferred into this city.  The officers of the department say that the only means of preventing the disease from spreading to all the cattle in the neighborhood is to shut them up until frost comes next fall.

Evidence of Murder is Found.
Mrs. McClellan Was Probably Beaten to Death at Conneaut, Ohio.
     Cleveland, Ohio, June 2. - Mrs. Elanor McClellan was found dead on the lake shore at Conneaut, Ohio last Sunday morning, and it is now believed that she was murdered.  Mrs. McClellan, who was about 50 years old, was formerly a school teacher at some place in New York, but had been employed as a domestic in this city for some time.  She disappeared a few days ago.  Before her body was found at Conneaut she told several persons with whom she came in contact that she had run away from Cleveland to escape her divorced husband.  She had evidently been struck on the head with some blunt instrument.  The coroner today decided that she had come to her death at the hands of an unknown person.  The police are trying to find a clew to the murderer.

Something About Life of Man Who Is Believed to Have Deceived Many Women and Secured Their Money - Has Worked in Several Cities - Double Life of Missing Man - Police Search for Deceiver.

RENOLD'S MARRIAGES:
Nol. 1 - Formerly Miss Lily Cook, married Reynolds  in Buffalo in 1884; mother of his four children; living at 62 Northampton street.
No. 2 - Miss Besse McKenzie, a saleswoman, married Reynolds in Chicago in 1902; died at Lakeside Hospital April 1, 1904.
No. 3 - Miss Mae Smith, aged 21; married Reynolds in Norwalk at 11:30 p.m. Monday; now at her home in Norwalk.
No. 4 - ____, mother of the nine year old girl at school in Blairsville, Penn.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 13 - Harry Reynolds man of multiple loves and lives, is compared to Johann Hoch, the arch bigamist recently hanged in Chicago by Prosecuting Attorney Wickham, of Huron County, who arrived in Cleveland this afternoon with Sheriff Snyder to begin their quest for the fugitive.
     "I consider Reynolds a character with a similar mania for marriage,
 said Mr. Wickham.  "I shall not be surprised if several other women who supposed themselves his wife are discovered through the publicity now being given the case.  The theory that the little girl in Pennsylvania is the daughter of still another bigamous wife I consider quite plausible."
     The Norwalk officers went to Central Station on arrival and held a conference with Inspector Rowe, asking him formally to detain Reynolds should he return here.  Prosecutor Wickham said later that circulars with Reynold's picture, which the police here have, would be sent to police departments thoroughout the country, with a request for his arrest.
