EN- IRENE
An Iowa Landlord Who Equals the
Rack Renters of Ireland.

Warren county has a case hal bids
fair to double discount English landlords
against Irish tenants. In the fall of 1882
a Mr.. Martin came here with his family
from Ohio. He wanted to rent a farm.
Places were then scarce. He finally
rented a rough eighty, with moderate
improvements and only partly broken
out, for three years, at S240 a year, cash
rent A lease was drawn up, at the die
tation of the landlords containing all
the usual restrictions and the following
clause: "And / now agree with the said
lessor that said rent is and shall continue
to be a lien upon all property that liz now
or may hereafter be used or kept by me
upon said premises, whether the same be
exempt from execution or not; and i now
make this contract a mortgage lien there
on, as we'll as upon all crops grown upon
said promises, without waiting for the
maturity of said rent"
The tenant, who knows nothing about
law and but little about business, signed
this lease. He did not raise enough on
the farm the first year to pay the first
years rent if the entire crop had been
surrendered to the landlord. But he had
nothing else to live on and, of course,
used some of the crop. He had only the
ordinary effects of a tenant-a team,
wagon and harness, a few farming imple-
ments, two COWS and calves, a few head
of swine. q limited amount of household
and kitchen furniture, etc, and some
debts (for stock and implements with
which to run the farm). During the
summer he had bought a COW and sold
her again, almost immediately at a
profit.
A few days ago ~the..landlord placed the
lease in the sherif's hands, with direc-
tons to seize and sell everything the ten
ant had, under tho chattel mortgage pro-
vision writ, and threatened to send the
tenant to the p~enitentiary for selling
m~ortgaged property (the cow just men
tioned) if he didn't deliver up every
thing. Yesterday the sheriff seized every
thing he could tind-team, wagon,
harness, farming implements, produce,
everything raised on the place, two COWS,
calves, three hogs, some pigs, sewing
machine. cook stove, beds, bedding,
household and kitchen furniture, pro-
visions, clothing-everything the tenant

limbs were frozen before death ensued,
The manner of the murder, the details OF
that horrible night, will probably never
be known, but the 6endishness of the
deed makes the thought revolving. The
neighbors give the very plausible reason
for the murder that Carroll attempted
undue liberties with the girl, and because
she would not submit entered upon a
system of fortunes to compel her assent.
Rumors of his attentions to the girl were
rife before she died. 1t is supposed that
on the night of the murder the girl was
whipped harder than usual, and finally in
a fit of madness was dealt a final blow on
the head. Then she was turned out of
the house and persisted misorably in the
snow and cold.

Those intending to fasten on u slice of
Nebraska soil for the benefit of them
selves and children must not let grass
grow under their feet; it is slipping away
quarter by quarter, and soon that insti-
tuition known as the land office, as far as
the state is concerned will exist only in
memory. In other words, If you want
government land you will have to hump
yourself. The unoccupied lands grows
less every day. Nebraska has been heard
of, not only down behind the Alleghanies,
but the story has been told along the
banks of the Rhine. There was a time
when these prairies went begging, but
that time is past.

Feeders of cattle and hogs throughout
Nebraska seem to be unfortunate this
season. In different sections disease has
attacked the stockers and in many cases
deaths enough have occurred to wipe
out the expected profits from an entire
herd. Otoe county has been more for
tunate than some, though a number of
steers have died in that locality. The
largest loss of hogs yet noted is that of
A. w. Clark near Salem. He lost
seventy head in two days, from some
Cause unknown. The mortality has been
charged up to the soft corn account.
The wool growers of Nebraska are just

citation has issued a circular letter to the

THE CAUSE OF THE LYNoHINGs
Why the Vigilantes Strung Up the
Cuddigans at Ouray, Col.

The crime for which the lynching was
d retribution has already been decribed
in dispatches of the 10th. The account
told how Mary Rose Matthews, a child of
IL, was cruelty murdered by her adopted
parents; how she was secretly buried by
her murderers, who then attempted to
leave the country; how the body was
exhumed by the officials and the evid-
ences of her horrible death revealed.
Mary Rose Matthews was w%ell-known in
Denver. Her mother died about a year
ago, and her father, a policeman, being
unable to support her, she was taken in
charge by the st. Vincent's Orphans
Home in Denver. Here she remained
several months. She was bright and
winsome, and so endeared herself to the
sisters in charge that she became a gen.
eral favorite. So much was she trusted
that she was placed as q monitress over
the other inmates of the house. Three
months ago she was adopted into the
family of Michael Cuddigan, who lived
with his wife and John Carroll, his
brother.in law, on a ranch eight miles
below Ouray. Mr.. and Mrs. Cuddigan
belonged to the Catholic church at that
point, and it was supposed that little
Mary had secured a good home. She
kept up a correspondence with the sisters
at the home where she had lived, in
which she had nothing to say except good
words for her adopted parents. The
Cuddigan ranch was located far from
other inhabitants, and the neighbors,
although it was currently reported that
the child was the victim of extreme cruel
ty, never knew of the hell-like home she
was living in. Late last Saturday night
the child died. and early the next morn
ing the body was buried in a rude grave
dug on one portion of the ranch. None
of the neighbors were invited to the
funeral. Next day Cuddigan, his wife
and Carroll drove out of the country in a
wagon, without stating to anybody where
they were going.
II INVESTIGATION.
Neighbors became suspicious and re-
ported the case to the officers. Coroner
Hazard determined to investigate, and
going to the deserted ranch, exhumed
the contents of the lonely grave and took
the body to Ouray. A superficial exam
ination revealed the fact that the child
had been murdered. The limbs were Gu,
and hacked. The body was slashed and
bruised. The face looked as though il
had been pounded into a jelly, and the
head revealed a wound which had evid.
entity been made with some blunt instru
ment. AS soon as this became known
there was the greatest indignation among
the people, and Sheriff Rowles with q
posse started in pursuit of the supposed
murderers. An autopsy was held by the
leading physicians, and they pronounced
that the girl had died of the wounds in
hioted upon the head, which were of such
nature that life must have passed away
soon after the blows were dealt. The
autopsy also revealed the fact that the
feet and hands were frozen. Whether
frozen before or after death is not known,
but it was certainly before the body was
buried. The neighbors think that after
the severe beating the girl received she
| was turned out of the house, and her

Yesterday forenoon about II o'clock
the alarm of fire was sounded and the
hurrying crowd on Broadway was soon
informed that the Pacific house was on
fire. This caused an increase in the
crowd and in the excitement, tor it was
"a bad day for a fire." The department
responded promptly, but its services
were not needed. All there proved to
be as the foundation for the scare was
the catching on fire of the roof of a
wooden building in the rear of the hotel,
used for laundry purposes. The build
ing is an old one, and the fire evidently
originated from a crack in the chimney.
A few pals of water suppressed the
flames and the loss was only nominal.
There were many conjectures as to what
''might have been" if it had broke out at
night, or had got better Roadway, or
some other if, but none of these ifs
came to pass. 1t proved a scare only.
