TRAGEDY CLEARED Up
Richard A. Pierce, Supposed to Have
Been Murdered in st. Paul Still
Alive

Richard A. Pierce, Supposed to Have
Been Murdered in st. Paul Still
Alive.
On the LIST day of January last, St. Paul
was Mortified with the announcement that
Richard A. Pierce young man Of respect.
able connections and presumably faultless
character, had been waylaid and
foully murdered at midnight On the
railroad track near elevator "a" on the
upper levee. The circumstances were ap-
parently conclusive that while Oh his way
home, he had been waylaid, robbed, and
cruelty murdered by midnight assassins.
The estimable father of the young man
confessed that he had no doubt his son had
been murdered and that his body was under
the ice.
Thus has the suspense continued until last
Saturday morning, when Mr.. Phillip Haas,
Rapids Itssca county, on the line Of the Du-
luth railroad, and reported to Mr..
Pierce, father of the young man, that his
son was alive and welt. That he had been
seen and that his version had been given Of
the supposed murder.
Pierce stated 10 Mr.. Haas that after leaving
the Sioux City freight house New Years
night, he proceeded up the track; that he
had only proceeded short distance when
he wss attacked by two men, one OF whom
he recognized an old enemy, a man for,
merly employed ut the freight depot, and
wish whom he had trouble. That strug
gle ensued during which he, Pierce, was cut
in the arm ard back.
That he. Pierce, stabbed one Of his assail-
ants, who fell as If killed. Alarmed 1t the
thought that he had been guilty of a murder.
that under the impulse Of the moment, be
made up his mind that flight was the only
way ont of the difficulty.
Then he took off his coat and toe out his
shirt sleeve, with which he staunched the
blood from his wound.
That fearing he would be apprehended
for murder. he jumped into passing train
and left the city, seeking the lumber camp,
where he was found and where be is now
supposed to be. Mr.. Haas states that
Pierce met the nen in Minneapolis on
Jan l. That they played pool and had .
fuss which was renewed on the train. That
they followed him onto the track where the
trouble took place. and that suppcsinR he
had killed one Of them he fled.

EDITOR BULLETIN IL see by your

that Mr.. Carter receives salary

PROMPT PAYMENT.

II is unusual to hear that Chinaman
has insured his life, and II is still more
unusual to hear of such prompt pay
mcnt of claims as the following. On
10Th February, Lee 10y, who was doing
business in Hilo, insured his life in the
Equitable Life Assurance Company for
$4,000, under the fifteen year endow-
ment plan. He paid years premium
and died in September. On 3lst October,
Mr.. A. j. Cartwright, the Honolulu
agent of the Company, sent, to the head
Office in New York, proof of Lee Loy's
death; the matter having been placed
In his hands two days previously. On
4th December, thirty four days after the
papers left Honolulu, the wife of the
deceased gave receipt for So 900, the
full amount of her claim, the money
having been sent from New York and
handed to her. This instance not only
shows the benefit of Life Assurance, but
also the very prompt manner in'which
settlements are made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Company, which did
not even avail itself of the power to
withhold payment for sixty days, in a
policy which had not been in force for
three years. 579 1w b

the COINAGE CASE,

Mr.. Hartwell acts as attorney for
the petitioners, Messrs. w. o.

Paul Neumann appear for the
Minister of Finance.
The petition sets forth.
That the said Minister of Finance
is about to issue bonds below par
and receive therefor silver coin of
less than the equivalent value in
United States gold coin, that is to
say for silver coins which are only
about 80 per cent of the value of
United States gold coin.
That it is the duty of the said
Minister of Finance to issue the said
bonds only at par and upon receipt

That it is the right of your petit
tioners as such Taxpayers as afore-
said that there be no misappropria-
tion of the public moneys. Whereas
the issue of the aforesaid bonds, for
less than par as aforesaid, would
operate as a misrepresentation of
public moneys and thereby injure
the petitioners as citizens and tax
payers, and that by reason of such
issue of the bonds aforesaid at less
than par, the public good and ad-
ministration of justice would suffer.
And your petitioners further aver
that they have requested the said

the AMERICAN MINISTER RESIDENT

Will have the moral and personal
support of every American born citi-
zen in this Kingdom, throughout
any national controversy, however
friendly, which may be in progress
with the present head of the Foreign
Office. America has the real and
abiding prosperity and happiness OF
Hawnii at heart, as is evidenced by
her having sent to our shores an in
ternational counsel, direct from
Washington, on behalf of mutual
harmony. America will stand fully
and firmly by the interests, CONNER
cial and mercantile alike, of her duly
incorporated companies, and native
and naturalized citizens, both here
and elsewhere. Government grants
and agreements cannot be abrogated
without just and sufficient cause.
We hope that amity, comfy and
patriotism may be the motto, and
the earnest maintenance of Secip-
rocity, the valued handspring and
object of all diplomatic action on
the part of our nation, now and
forever. There must be no discrim.
mating in these troublesome times
The American Minister has been ac'
cused of partiality, but we know
that he will be supported by his
countrymen, should occasion require
such support.

In the Red Cloud Claim.

This morning news came in of an
important strike in the Red Cloud
mine, located on the South Fork of
Deer Creek and owned by A. L. Ma

While stripping the ledge on the sur

vein of high-grade silver-galena, from
two to three feet wide.
The Rcd Cloud is near the great
