Sudden Death of VIM b. Dix,

His many friends in St. Paul were shocked
yesterday on learning of the sudden death OF
Mr.. W. B. Dix, for two years past secretary
of the eastern division OF the st. Paul & Sioux
city railroad company. Mr.. Dix had been al
his accustomed duties on Saturday, in his
usual health and spirits, and passed an hour
or two down town on Sunday Yesterday
morning he complained OF rheumatic pains,
and DR.. Owens prescribed for him, but did not
consider his symptoms at all dangerous. A
little before noon DR.. Stone was called in, and
found Mr.. Dix in paroxysms of pain. He did
all in his power to relieve him, but without
avail, and In the course of half an hour he died,
the disease having reached his heart The sum-
mons came so suddenly that those about him
were not prepared for death. He had been
cheerful all the morning, and though
suffering occasional spasms of pain did not
realize that he was in any danger. His life
passed away in an instant. His young wife,
to whom he was married only last June, was
rendered frantic with grief.
Mr.. Dix has been residing with DR.. Owens
at l4t Eleventh street for several months past.
He was man of temperate habits, was highly
esteemed by all who knew him, and his death
will be sincerely deplored. He was fl years
of age, and has resided in st. Paul little over
two years.

DEFECTIVE telegraph service may be
turned to some account after all. The
Chicago Times of Sunday was able to as
sure its readers that though Prof King had
never before been absent from the ground
over twenty-four hours, and the CARRYING
capacity of his balloon was but twenty
four hours, there was no cause for ap-
prehension, even though he had then
been gone about sixty hours. Its hope
was based on the idea that he had
drifted into Minnesota or Dakota where
it said "the telegraph lines are down
about half of the time, and when they
are in condition it is sometimes impossi-
BILE to get message through ahead of
the mails" As usual there have been
numerous balloons seen in various parts
of the country since the ascension. Int
none of them can surpass the sights
which followed the Minneapolis venture.
The balloon was expected to sail from
Minneapolis Friday afternoon, and to-
wards night of that day it was distinctly
seen near Dodge Center in the Southern
part of the State. The ability to see il
was the more remarkable from the fact
that it did not start until the follow.
ing Monday. When 1t was finally off it
was seen at Z O'Clock the same evening
at Hastings, and at 9 p. m. at La Crosse.

THE fact that duelling if relic of bar
barism is very well evidenced by little
circumstance in Riddleberger's attempt
to vindicate his "honar" near Richmond,
Va, last week. In the proper order of
things he should have first fought with
Richard F. Beinne, editor of the State, and
then with Geo. d. Wise. The first fight
was delayed because neither party had
provided caps for their pistols, and before
they could be secured, Beinne
was arrested. One or two of the attempt
ed shots between Wise and RidGleberger
were abortive owing to the failure of the
capto explode. This use of percussion
caps marks the old fogyism of duellng.
1t has not kept pace with modern i'm
provements. When dueling was most
popular in this country the pistol, with
cartridge combining cap, powder and
bullet in enc, had not been invented. The
Improvements which have been made
render it much easier than before to sstwig
your man." but those who are
in that line have made no advancement
Percussion caps seem to be good enough
for them, perhaps, because they are less
deadly. If Riddleberger had only used
the improved pistols, he might have got.
ten himself killed, and have thus blessed
the whole country. If they must be bar.
barious enough to fight duels, the code
should be revised to require the use O.
the most deadly weapons human ingen
uity has been able to devise. When it il
reasonably certain that both parties to
duel will be killed, very dead, there vii
be good deal less desire to defenc
wounded "honah."

Robbie d a PostGMce,

A short time ago some persons entered the

A Fugitive from Crookston, Named NAL
com McCaskill, in Custody.
Fugitives from justice generally have bad
luck when they strike st. Paul. So thinks
Malcolm McCaskill, at least. McCaskill has
been operating up north, in ways that are de-
cidedly crooked, if all is as charged. His last
operations were ut Crookston, where he sue
ceeded in obtaining $500 under false pretenses,
and then lit out. The lighting out occurred
thursday, and Friday message came over
the wires from the sheriff of Pope
county to Sheriff PITCHER describing the fugi-
tive stating the crime with which he was
charged, and requesting that he be looked
after. Detective Bressette was notified of the
message and has since been on the watch for
his man: Yesterday he got pointer that
McGaskllls was in the city, and notifying Off
Ger Kouleau, business commenced with the
result of discovering ard arresting McCaskill
at the Manitoba house, lower Third street
about 5 O'Clock last evening. McCaskill is a
guest OF Sheriff Richter while awaiting the
arrival OF the sheriff of Pope county.

An Encourasine Report.

Mr.. Charles Fl. Burt clerk in the Office of
the state superintendent of instruction, re-
turned from visit of nearly week to his
farm in the northern portion of Big Stone
county. Mr.. Burt reports that there has been
nothing approaching the rain fall in that Sec
ton as in and about st. Paul. in fact not
enough to seriously inconvenience fall farm
work, which is nearly or quite as well ad.
vanccd as in ordinary years. The yield OF
wheat in the northern section of Big Stone is
fairly satisfactory, the average being about
fifteen bushels to the acre, of good quality.

James, A. Kennedy and Carrie Kennedy, re-
spondents.
Syllabus-The plaintiffs claim d that GER
tain lands were conveyed by defendant, K, to
one G, and by G to KS wife, in fraud as plain
tiffs as KS creditors. The evidence reasonably
tending to show that K purchased the land
for his wife and so her agent; that the cash
payment for the same as well as two deferred
payments were made with her money and sep
crate property; that X was indebted to his
wife in sum considerably exceeding the uni-
paid portion of the purchase money for which
K had given his note; that the title was origi.
nally taken in KS name without his wife's
knowledge or consent, and that the convey
ance from X to G. was made for the purpose
expressly understood and agreed upon between
K and his wife; that G should convey to
her SO that the title should come into her
name, in pursuance of and to carry out the
design of the original purchase.
Held. That this was sufficient to warrant
the trial court in finding in effect that the
conveyances were not fraudulent as respects
the plaintiffs, and that this action which was
brought to subject the land to their execution
against K, should e dismissed.
Order denying new trial affirmed.
