ARCTIC CANNIBALISM.
Lieut.. Kislingbury's Remains Exhumed
and Pound to Be Deuuded of Flesh.

The sickening details connected with tho
sufferings of the Greedy party continue to alb
sorb public attention to the almost entire ex-
clusion of politics; new interest has been
the examination of Lieut. Kislingbury's re-
mains at Rochester The doctor who exam
ined the remains, made the following report:
''The body in weight Appropriated, in our
opinion, about fifty pounds On examination
Of the head, no signs of wounds or injuries
were visible. The skin was not broken. The
ears and nose were intact The skin and mus
cles of the interior portion of the face and neck
we're intact From the upper portion of the
sternum and clavicle to the lower portion of the
fifth rib on the left side the skin and muscles
had all been removed down to the ribs on the
right side The skin and muscles down to the
lower border of the last rib were gone. There
we're two openings between the fourth and
fifth intercestal spaces into the thoracic
cavity. The skin and muscles ON the anterior
portion of the abdomen were intact to
the crest Of the illillm or pelvic bones.
The muscles and skin of the anterior and pos
terror of the thighs were entirely removed, ex-
cept the skin on the anterior portion of the
knee joints. The muscles and skin OF the left
leg we're removed to within three inches of the
ankle joint On the right leg the skin and
muscles were removed to within five inches of
the ankle joint. Both feet were intact, and the
toes all present. There was no vestige of in
tegument or muscles on either arm, including
The muscles OF The SnOufuef DlGueS 10 the Wilss
joints except on the right forearm and an in
terosseous membrane remaining of the flesh
and muscles both hands were intact The e1-
animation of the interior portion of the body
showed that the skin and muscles of the back
from the seventh cervical vertebra had
been dissected or cut completely away,
down to the bones, with the exception of
pieces of skin from two or three inches square
on each side of the upper portion of the sacrum.
The pelvic bones we're completely denuded.
All the extrenlities were attached TO the body
covered We found all the organs of the thorax
and abdomen present There was evidence Of
recent Inflammation of the stomach and bowels.
The large intestines were distended with
hardened Jumps of focal matter, in which
opinion the flesh removed was cut away with
some sharp instrument That remaining on
the feet, hands and face showed no signs of
decomposition.

Decline of Wheat in England.

A correspondent of the Country Gentleman,
living it England, notes the gradual decline in
the value of the wheat crop and the necessity
for the past nine years have been deficient, for
the acreage produce has been only A1a
bushels The main cause of this low average
was the disasterous season of 1879, when the
crop was estimated at but IS bushels per acre:
Inc most Produouve wheat o1oR OF the present n.
1863 The difference between the last harvest
and that of 1868 is very striking indeed, and
it shows in bold relief the changed position of
the farmer: The price of wheatof the former
period was GA shillings per quarter, and "a
bushels at that price is 913 IFS per scre. Last
per acre and the price S. shillings The farm
er would therefore pocket IS It's per acre.
Thus it is plain that wheat cannot be
grown at the money, far the Eng
fish farmer asserts that he cannot grow
wheat at less than about So per acre. The de-
to upward of ], COO, 600 acres, and about double
the quantity of what is now grown at home has
to be imported. More land is being laid down
to grass and the alteration of the times obvi-
ously points in that direction. One result Of
the times appears that a great reduction of rents
granting reductions of rent which range from
10 to 40 per cent. but q reduction Of less than
80 per cent is of little avail, and very lately q
number of farmers have sunk under their bur
dens The agricultural situation would have
been much worse but for the good prices OBJ
tanned for cattle and sheep"
On the point regarding the shipment of store
cattle from the United States he says: ''Tha
idea of bringing store cattle from the western
states of America is entertained by some British
farmers, especially those in Scotland, but il
looks somewhat Utopian. 1t is granted that
stores are too high; then why should not the

as two-year-old or three year-old."

Rattlesnake Jake's Death.

From the Portland Oregonian.
On Big Spring creek, in Meagher county, q
few days ago, Rattlesnake Jake and his partner
O'Fallon, two desperadoes and reputed horse
thieves, attempted to run q small place called
Lewiston, and meeting with some opposition
they declared they would clean out the town,
and commenced shooting ateverybody in sight:
There were only three guns in the town and
they were placed in the hands of men Of un-
daunted courage, who used them with such
good effect that both Of the supposed horse
thieves were run down in short time, O'Fal-
Ion being sho first, through and through with
aWinchester rifle, and Rattlesnake served in a
men showed great pluck. O'Fallon, after be-
ing shot through, rode back to his partner
and asked him if he was hnrt Jake said that
he was. "Weu," said O'Fallon, ri am shot
and I am dead man, but will stay with you. :"
At that moment he fell from his horse, then
aim with Winchester at young man named
Smith, an outsider, who was trying to get
away from the fracas, and shot him through
the head, killing him instantly.
The citizens saw that there would be more
men killed if the thing was not ended quickly
in earnest OFallen took five shots in the
body before he fell the second time and then
he raised himself on his side and continued
shooting until he had not strength enough to
support himself, and after lying down he kept
shooting as long as there was life in him.
Rattlesnake Jake, after he was shot through
the body, kept shooting; then his right arm
was broken by a ball and he changed to his
left hand and kept shooting; another ball
broke his left leg and, supporting himself by
the other, kept shooting; another ball struck
his chin, carrying away half his jaw, when he
fell on the ground, raised himself on his side
and kept shooting. From weakness he could
not support himself any longer and he fired

draw his pistol again, but had not strength
enough, and it fell by his side.

Talk About Earthquakes

Maj J. W. Powell, of the geological survey
at Washington, talked thus about earthquakes,
49, EARTHQUAKES in the eastern portion Of the
United States have been comparatively infre-,
quent and mild. The most important was that
in the Mississippi valley known as the New
Madrid. A late earthquake in Western. Neva-
da made q fracture about two hundred unless
seventy five feet The western portion of the
United States, from the farther border of the
plains to the Pacific, is region of many
and great earthquakes. It has also been
in very recent geologic times region
of great volcanic activity: Thousands Ip5 Of
the country, and vast lava fields cover large
areas of the land. Salt Lake City stands on
the margin of an earthquake fracture, and ge-
ologists have more than once prophesied that
it will be destroyed by an earthquake Geolo-
gists have concluded from the consideration OF
a great variety Of facts that the interior of the
earth is in a fluid condition, due to pressure
and great heat We penetrate from the sur
face toward the interior of the earth by mines
and by boring for arteaian wells and other pur
poses The temperature is found to increase
at such rate that a degree cheat would soon
be reached at which all known rocks would
melt Secondly, vast number OF volcanoes
is distributed widely oyer the earth, through
the rents Of which enormous quantities of
molten rock are poured out on tho surface of the
ten matter exists beneath the crust Thirdly,
it is known, experimentally, that all rocks
would be crushed and caused to flow by the
pressure of few miles of superintendent
rock :. Now, to understand the cause of an
earthquake we must appreciate that compar-
atively thin crust rests upon q vast fluid. The
next thing to be considered is that all the land
portions Of the earth is rapidly being transport
ed to the sea by rains and rivers Thus tho
land areas are being unloaded and ocean Dor
ders are weighed down. This loading of sea
borders and unloading of land areas upon q
crust which rests upon fluid sets up enor mous
strains, but they accumulate until at last sufi-
Gent stress IL established to cause fracture and
displacement through the miles of solid crust
When such a rupture occurs an earthquake il
the result All earthquakes in regions where
volcanoes do not exist are thus caused by
strains due to the degradation. of some portion
of the continent, and the loading of the mater
ial upon some other portion of the continent

THE GREEDY SHADOW.


Shooting of 'Henry-Canniba1ism Denied.
EARLY this morning Col Kent obtained an in
terview with Lieut. Greedy, who admits that
Henry had a military execution on the 9th of
June. AS early as March it was suspected
that Henry was stealing the limited food
which was appertioned ; out s to the snfviy-
ascertained Lieut. Greedy had thereafter
hard work to protect the mans life. 1t
became necessary, in order to keep up
the discipline. to inform Henry that he
would be shot if the practice continued, and
shat a similar fate would be meted out to any
crime If Henry had been permitted to con-
tnue his stealings unmolested, the balance Of
the party would surely have starved to death
and Henry alone survived After and in spite
of these warnings, Henry was again detected
stealing provisions, among the food taken being
two pounds Of bacon, the eating of SO much Of
which made him sick. Search was then in
stituted, when it was found that Henry had,
among other articles, stolen and secreted
a pair of sealskin boots which had be-
longed to hunter of the party. Lieut.
Greedy was therefore forced, in order to
maintain military discipline and protect the
lives of his other comrades, to issue written
order that Henry be shot, which order was
carried into effect June 6. AS to the alleged
cannibalism, Lieut. Greedy says if there was
aQyGl1nR OF CIle kllu IL uluSG uHVO D6ou Ill ILL.,
dividua1 act, and not general. Nothing Of the
kind however, came under his personal obser-
vation Sergeant Brainard, who is in the hos
pital at the navy yard, confirms Greely's state
ments. More than a week ago Lieut. Greedy
forwarded to the secretary Of war detailed
report of Henry's execution: Upon proper
representations to Secretary Chandler, court
of inquiry will undoubtedly be ordered
verbal report was made to General Hazen
by Lieutenant Greedy shortly after the arrival
Of the relief expedition at Portsmouth. In re-
gard to the execution of Henry, General Hazen
said: TT was not only justiiable but the
noblest thing in the expedition"
A written report was submitted by Greedy to
the war department few days ago, fully COW
ering Henry's case, and court martial has
been asked for by Lieut.. Greedy if the facts
seem to the war department to warrant it. In
closing, Lieut. Greedy said: 81 regret that the
responsibility OF defld,ng Henry case 9, Tas
in my duty to the rest of the noble men of my
command had not acted as did,"

Death Of an Old Soldier.

Gen. William Hoffman, U. s. A., died at Rock
Island on Tuesday. He was born in New York
city, Dec 2, 1907. He graduated from the
United States Military academy and entered
the army as brevet second lieutenant of infan-

brevets of major and lieutenant colonel for
gallant conduct He afterward commanded
various expeditions, being on duty in Texas at
tho outbreak of the civil war in 1861, where he
was made a prisoner of war, being exchanged

eral of prisoners during the latter year, he
supervised and controlled all captured prison.

they're ground mp and sold for fertilizer. I
don't know whether the bu1faloes was much
obliged to us for driving 'em off from their old
stamping ground, but any way they've left us
their bones as kind Of legacy, and wemake
good use Of 'em Sir. There are two or three
carloads of buffalo bones shipped from here
every day now, and will lie till snow flies. Yes,
they're shipped from most every place OF any

Alarm Hands Frenzy.

VIM johnson, of College Point, L. l., became
violently insane about four weeks ago because
his sweetheart had refused to have anything
further to do with him. 1t WAS only after a
desperate struggle that johnson was secured
and placed in padded cell of the town hall
1t was intended to send him to an insane
apylum, but after he had been confined in tho
cell few days three physicians decided that
he had recovered his reason and that there
would be no fear Of danger if he was allowed
to go at large johnson was, therefore, dis
charged from custody, and leaving College
Point went to work for Chas. Cornell on the
Havlland farm in Little Neck. He seemed to
be all right until three o'clock the other morn
ing, when Mr. Cornells family we're aroused
by johnson, who rushed through the house
brandishing revolver and an axe. Mr.. Cor
nell and his family were driven from the house
fred at them by the mailman. He demolished
some of the furniture in the house and went
into the parlor and began to pray to a large oil
while he would shout stAnnie, my darling, how
1love you!" He was finally captured after a
desperate struggle by three officers and taken
to Long Island city heavily ironed.

Destructive Fire at Anoka, MINI.

Nearly all the business portion of Anoka,
Mimi, was destroyed by fire on Saturday
morning. The flames started about two o'clock
in privy adjoining Van De Welde g. Page's
spreading up the hill toward the high school
The efforts of f1remen and volunteers to mar
row the course of the conhagration were i'm
availing Every piece of wood, every box and
as bone, and instantly caught fire as the
flaming current approached
The fire showed no signs Of stopping as long
as there was anything for it to feed on, and it
cut a clean swath to the river, taking in its
course the magnificent Washburn Touring mills
al bank building, and four score buildings,
some of them finer buildings than are usually
to be seen in such small city as this. There
was no .'spartial damage" except to one building
the school house. All the rest are total loss.
AS Anoka now looks there is a wide level gap
from the bridge north to the court house, ex.
cept the standing ruins Of the First National
Bank, the, Opera House block and the tall,
round chimney of the Lincoln mill A rough
estimate Of the figures foot up as follows:
$50; loss on contents, $2T, $40! Insurance on
buildings $191 $50; insurance on contents, 1924,
875; total loss, $629, 100; total insurance. 1885,,

ance. The principal buildings destroyed be-
sides Mr.. Washburn's are Jackson's Hotel,
Anoka Club House, Anoka Bank, R. Taylor's
store, Bean l. Guderain's store, A. l. Tcknor's
stores; H. l. Plummers stores; j. a Foote'S
buildings, skating rink, Postofdce Block. OF
these buildings destroyed, Is were on Jackson
street; 1873 on Maine street; and others on
Monroe street and others, besides those on the
river bank.
Steam engines from st. Paul and Min
neapolis were sent by rail to Anoka and
rendered effective service in staying the flames,
though the destruction had been accomplished
previous to their arrival The Mississippi river,
crossed by a handsome wagon BRIDGE is one
mile west of the city and it's tributary the Rum
river, runs through and pretty equally divides
the corporation through the business portion.
Where the destruction occurred is north of the
Rum. In 1870 Anoka had not more than l coo
inhabitants now fair and low estimate is
5000 and with its street cars, electric lights,
and other metropolitan parsphernalia, the city
incorporated in 1879 has an air of activity i'm
pressive and surprising.
