Shot Through the Heart.

Bismarck Special. Thomas w. Magill, son
of Col. 8. g. Magill of Menoken, a town twelve
miles east Of Bismarck, shot and killed Melville
II Wesley at2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Col.
MasilPs family is highly respectable and have
been very wealthy. They came from Clinton,
Iowa, where the son, Thomas, married the
only daughter Of William Young, the
wealthy lumberman of Clinton. Young Ma
gill has stood very high in Fargo society
where his people has lived for two years past,
and those who know him from lowe speak in
the highest praise of him and his wife. For
some time past the Maglli farm has been in an
unsettled condition as numerous creditors have
been leyying upon about all there was in the
way OF real or personal property, and among
other things was q blacksmith shop. located
on the farm and worked by Wesley.
MR.. MAGILL's STORY,
is that the blacksmith property having been
replevlned by him as agent for H. f. Miller
Of Fargo, who held a bill of sale. He told
Wesley that as soon as the property was
tnrued over to him (MagilD, he (tessev), could
not remain on the farm, and would
have to seek a new location. At this yessey
rushed at him with a sledge hammer. MagiiI
had started out on a hunt and had his shot
gun with him. When yesscv raised tho
TANNER to strike Magill fired, discharg na
the contents of both barrels, the first striking
Wesley in the head and the second charge
lodging near tie heart and killing him instant
ly. Messrs. Griffin, Malloy and Coroner Smith
returned from Menoken last evening. While
there an inquest was held, the verdict being
that Wesley came to his death by the discharge
of a gun in the hands of Thomas Magill. These
are all the facts that could be obtained, as no
one witnessed the tragedy save the partici-
pants,

Gov. Ramsey on the Mormon..

Hon Alexander Ramsey of Minnesota passed
through Omaha Monday en- route to Utah, to
assistin supervising the territorial election. he
being one of the five Utah commissioners. Mr..
Ramsey says that the commission has succeeded
very well in accomplishing the work
laid out under the Edmunds bill, which
provides, among other things, for the
registration of voters, both male and female,
and that an oath must be made, before
registering, that the applicant is not u polyga-
mist. By means Of this registration and oath,
200 polygamist voters have been disfran-
chised, aud the poiygamists have been put out,
and kept out of Office. Mormons WHO vote
and who hold Office are only those parties
who al known not to be polygamists.
TIL commission estimates that the.s are
now in Utah about $500 practicing male
polygamists. In regard TO trials for polygamy,
Mr.. Ramsey says the great difficulty is in OBJ
tanning evidence, as is shown by rece... cases.
Mormon church authorities have very de-
fectiye memories as to where records can be
found, and seem to know less about polygam-
GUS marriages than do outsiders, and they re-
sort to every means to place obstacles in tie
way of obtaining evidence. Mr.. Ramsey con- |
not say when and how the Mormon problem
Will be solved. Time alone would tell. In re-
gard to tho Edmunds bill, all had been ace u
plished that could be done under its provisions.
and as far as it goes it is satisfactory.

Gov. Cleveland Assaulted by a Crank.

Gov. Cleveland was going from the executive
mansion to the capitol about 8 a. m. Monday
when in front OF the medical college on Eagle
street, Albany, he was assaulted by Samuel
Boone of Elmira, who struck at him with his
right hand. The blow was warded off, and
the man repeated the blows several
TINES without hitting the COVER
nor's face, He then darted toward
a pile Of eobblestones. but was inter
cepted by DR.. George II. Houghton before he
obtained a missile. Boone returned to the at
tack on the governor, when DR.. Houghton
seized him and held him until the governor de-
hberately resumed his course. Boone was re.
leased and went quickly to a boarding house
on Lancaster street, where he was arrested
shortly afterward. DR.. Houghton overlook
the governor and conversed briefly with him
about the assault. The governor proceeded to
the capitol and went to work, abiding only
casually to the matter to attaches of the Office.
Boone, who attempted to strike the governor
was never heard of before in this part of the
country. He is beside himself over a refusal
of the governor to Issue a pardon to his wife's
brother, who is now in prison. The encounter
Monday morning is the sequel to the disturb
ance which Boone's wife made in the executive
Office one day last week. On that occasion
she was SO bolsterous in her ilnportunance for
the pardon of her brother that she had to be
carried out Of the capitol and placed in charge
of a physician.
