suspicion has always existed that buckWheat

and indigeetible, because the chemical faction
that takes placs SO alters the flour from its

MURDER AT MOORHEAD MINNESOTA.

Edward Quinn. Bartender OF the Grand Pacific
Hotel, and Formerly of st. Paul. Shot Dead
byM.J ]. WheIan.
Last Wednesday night at eleven o'clock, while
there were but two or three persons in the Of
fee Of the Grand Pacific hotel at Moorhead,
Minnesota, shot was heard in the bar-room.
Those VINO heard it rushed In and found no
one In the room, and Edward Quinn the bar
keeper, lying on his face, shot through the
heart. The dead man had billiard cue in his
left hand, and the appearance went to show
that some alteration had taken place between
him and an unknown person Quinn came
from New Orleans, but had lived for some time
in St Paul He had a number Of enemies in
that locality, having knocked two or three men
down in the course of bar-room alterations.
Suspicion pointed to NJ. J. Whelan, the man
who ran out of the front street door of the no.
tel minute or two after the shooting. Quinn
and Whelan had some words early in the even
ing and Quinn stabbed WheIan over the mouth.
Sheriff Bodkin was called promptly, and steps
we're taken to arrest the supposed murderer.
Quinn has been regarded as a rough man in a
quarrel, and bore numerous scars received in
fights and quarrels. An hour after the mur-
der Mrs. M. J. Whelan rushed into the hotel in
the greatest excitement and asked II q man
had been shot there When told there
husband dititl" The sheriff and his men sur
rounded Whelan's house, but he escaped, went
to the county Jail and gave himself up. A
Smith &.Wesson six-shooter was found on him,
one barrel empty. He was bleeding from
wounds on his arms and body, and had a
bruised face and head. His story is that
Quinn threw a glass of beer in his face and
knocked him down with q billiard cue. Then
the, shooting occurred. Whelan is a young,
quiet. gentlemanly fellow and we'll liked.
Quinn had few days ago threatened to shoot q
girl who would not marry him, and, revolver in
hand the other day chased a Norwegian cham
bermaid up stairs, threatening to shoot her.
He has q wife and daughter in Cincinnati, O.
