MISSING PRINCE IS FOUND.
PARIS, Oct. 1.— Prince Ikanthor, son of the King of Cambodia (French IndoChina), who was recently a guest of France at the Exposition and who disappeared somewhat mysteriously, has been found in Brussels. A dispatch sent in his behalf says he did not sail for home last week from Marseilles, as was arranged, because he had not received the French Government’s reply to the letter of grievances from his father against the French officials in Cambodia, of which he was bearer. He adds that the only response he received was a telegram from his father ordering him to return. But he explains that he cannot do so until he has received the reply of the French Government, so he has gone to Brussels. The Prince denies having any disagreement with his father, King Norodom.
MURDERED WITH IRON BAR.
Cigar Dealer Beaten Into Insensibility and Throat Cut.
WALLACE, Idaho, . Oct. 1.— Matthew Mailey, a cigar dealer, was murdered in his store early this morning, and at a late hour to-night the officers have found no clew to the murderers.
Just before 9 o’clock this morning a passer-by saw the body lying near the. rear of the cigar-store and notified the officers. Both doors were locked and blood on the floor caused the belief that Mailey had committed suicide. When the door was forced it was found that his throat was cut and his skull crushed in three places. An iron bar eighteen inches long lay beside the body, which was covered with blood. A towel had been tied around the head, evidently for a gag. An examination of the premises showed that the safe was locked, the money drawer undisturbed and a watch was on the corpse. The body was yet warm, but death had occurred some time before. Nothing was missing from the store except the key to the door. One witness saw the deceased enter the store with a tall, slim man about 6 o’cIock. Mailey had lived in the Coeur d’Alenes about fifteen years and had no known enemies.

LYNCH HAS THEIR COIN BUT THE LICENSES ARE MISSING
Stockton Saloon-Keepers Appeal to Washington for an Accounting With the Revenue Collector.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
STOCKTON. Oct. 1.— Either the postal authorities or Collector Lynch will have to do some lively explaining at headquarters in Washington if the allegations of a number of Stockton liquor dealers are proved. On June 23 F. Lynn, a notary, sent to Collector Lynch’s office $200 in payment for licenses for local clients. The draft was acknowledged a few days later, but the dealers are still without their licenses. About a month ago Lynn wrote to Lynch to the effect that unless me licenses were forthcoming he would report their non-arrival to the authorities at Washington. Forthwith each of the liquor men received a typewritten statement from the Collector’s office acknowledging that the money had been duly received: that the revenue licenses had been forwarded, but had miscarried through the mails, and that the dealer was “square” with the Government and entitled to conduct his business. The regular revenue license was not received, and it has developed that nineteen liquor dealers in Stockton are all in the same predicament. “One letter Lynch sent me was to the effect that the licenses had been forwarded,” said Mr. Lynn. “In the certificate he sent out he stated that they had been lost. Though he did not say they were lost in the mail, that is the inference, for he declarad they had been forwarded, and the mail is the medium by which they are always sent. I can’t see how seventeen letters, franked by the Government, could all miscarry.” “James B. Eaton, who also attends to considerable of this class of business, tells the same story. “I suppose they were lost somehow,” he said; “but it is strange, because those tax stamps are sent in separate envelopes. I should think it would not be very difficult for the Government to trace them. Clients of mine at Linden, Lockeford and Undine failed to get theirs, and I suppose all have received the same certificates.”
FOREMAN OF BRUNSWICK MINE BADLY INJURED
Bones of Both of Charles H. Connelly’s Legs Fractured by a Falling Rock.
GRASS VALLEY. Oct. 1.— Charles H. Connelly, foreman of the Brunswick mine is suffering from fractures of the bones of both legs. The night shift had discharged a round of holes in one of the drifts and when the day shift went to work this morning Connolly cautioned the men to be careful, as the place where they were to toil was dangerous. Later he himself went into the drift to make a further examination. He had no sooner entered where the men had been at work than a large rock fell from the top of a drift, narrowly missing his head. It struck him on the right leg, making a clean break of the bone, and then rolled and struck him on the left leg above the ankle, breaking the bones and pinning him to the side of the drift. Connelly was rescued by fellow minors and taken to his home in this city. The attending physician thinks he will not be permanently crippled.
