A supposed murder was committed at
Balsam Branch, a small place thirty miles
east of st. Croix Falls, in Wisconsin. Page
n. Butts, sheriff OF Polk county, left his
home at Osceola Thursday morning

near Balsam Branch. When near
the place he met two squaws, who,
not knowing him to be an officer,
informed him that George January, a half
breed, had shot and killed his uncle, Joe
January, in the morning. The sheriff in
duced the squaws to 60 back to the place
with him and point out George January.
They found the fellow and the sheriff, tax
ing him in charge, ordered him to find the
body OF the man he had killed that morn
ing. The half breed led the officer a quar-
ter of a mile from the village to a clump Of
bushes in an out-of-the-way place, and
there showed him the concealed body
with a bullet hole through a vital part.
The arrested man then claimed that his
uncle had shot at him twice, and that he
then shot him in self-defense. Lying near
the dead man wa a rife. The squaws saw
the shooting, and deny that the uncle shot
at his nephew. George January, some
time since married and is now living with
tae wife OF Lewis January, who is brother
of the lead half-breed and is serving a life
term in the Wisconsin penitentiary for the
murder OF Mathew Finley, at st. Croix
Falls, eight years ago.

Mr.. Stead, acting as his own counsel, read a

He claimed hat the end which he had in

A Mooted Medical Question.

A woman with an inevitably fatal mall
adv, and in dread Of a painful death, call
ed on DR.. Shrady, the other day, and ask
ed him if the rumor was true that he and
his associate physicians had eased and
shortened the patients dying agony by
chloroform. If it were so, she wished to
make sure Of q similar respite in her own
case. The doctor assured her that moth
ing OF a homicidal kind had been done, and
she went away disappointed.
II think that few conscientious physi-
clans would feel justified in putting a pa
tent to death, even though convinced that
ONLY an hour Of agOnized life naturally re-
NAMED" said DR.. Shrady, subsequently,
though there has lately been considerable
discussion on the subject, and a tendency
toward n liberal view. Gen. Grant asked
for a painless demise, il we could give it to
to him, but Of course without intending
that he should be killed by means OF an an
aesthetic; and every possible thing was
done to avert pain. He was promised q
quiet end-that was all. The proposition
has been seriously discussed abroad that,
when a patient is sure to die III agony his
request to be put to death ~painlessly
should be legalized. For the present, each
practitioner must be guided by his own
conscience"
And am I to infer that doctors do
hasten death as well as e~uthanasia?" was
asked.
II do not say so" was the reply. SIN
case a physician thought it his humane
duty to defend a patient against dis
eases tortures in that way, he would keep
it a ~seCret.n

Five Ce lestiais Lxnohed in Idaho.

Five Cinnamon, implicated in the murder
OF Daniel Frazer and robbery in Pierce City
were taken from Jail by citizens and hanged
to convenient trees. Mr.. Frazer, who was
one of the pioneers OF Southern Idaho, was
well known and respected. His room in the
rear of his store was entered on the night
OF the 18th inst, he was murdered and his
body horribly mutilated. An attempt was
then made to blow open the safe, which
proved unsuccessful. Tracks on the out
side OF the building showed that Cinnamon
had done the deed. In the next five days
fifteen Chinese were arrested, and finally
five of them confessed to the deed. These

Reports of the Dakota Fires.

The reports in St. Paul regarding the
prairie fires are very contradictory. George
Y. s. MS, late European agent for the North
ern Pacific, returned from the Yellow
stone Park. He says the fires are more eX-
tensive and the damage much greater than
yet reported. The whole country
from Glondive, Mont, to the Minnesota
state line is like a blackboard. The flames
have not left a single blade Of grass. Solar
as could be learned the fires extend forty
and fifty miles on both sides Of the road,
and are still burning. All the grass in the
Territory of Dakota and q great portion
Of that in Montana, east OF Glendlve,
has been burned. This, Mr.. Sims says,
will prove a great loss, as it will neces-
state the transfer OF a large number OF cat
tie. The fires have spread into the mount
aims in the vicinity ofBozeman, and the tim.
Der on the hillsides is all ablaze. j. {. Bull
lit, assistant counsel OF the Northern Pa
cifc, also returned to St. Paul. He was as
far west as Mandan. He says while the
fires nave been very extensive, and cover the
whole country from the James to the Mis-
souri, river, the damage is not so great as
reported. SO far but one house, and very
little grain nave been burned. The flames
have fed on the grass, fences and
bridges. The fires still continue and show
nc signs OF burning themselves out. The
only hope o is a day or two OF heavy
rain. The weather, however, throughout
Dakota could not be better. West OF the
Missouri, Mr.. Bullitt says the fires have not
made much Roadway. The transfer OF cat
tie, he said, would not amount to a great
deal. as, compared with Montana, there
are few or no cattle in Dakota.

THE NEWS SUMMARIZED.
American Encomiums on Japan.

Hon. John A. Bingham, ex-minister to
Japan was first accredited to the court OF
the mikado by President Grant in 1878,
and remained until the administration OF
President Cleveland. He gives u most in
teresting account OF the condition Ofaffairs
in Japan, saying: The r~eigning sover-
eign is the representative OF a dynasty
which has governed Japan for twenty
six centuries, and the bluest Of the blue
blood of Europe and America will have to
acknowledge their inferiOrity to such a line
as this. He is not more than forty years
OF age, but has proved himself to be one OF
the ablest and wisest statesmen which his
country has produced. When he assembled
the throne of Japan he succeeded to the
absolutely despotic powers and preroga-
tives which his ancestors had welded
for ages, literally holding in the hol-
low of his hand the lives, liberties
and property OF his subjects. Step by
step he has thrown off the shackles, until
now the government of Japan is democrat
ic to an extent closely approximating that
OF the United States. The country is more
prosperous, the people happier and the gov
eminent apparently resting on as firm n
foundation as ever. The postal facilities
are wonderful. Japan, with a population
of less than 40, 900, 600, has almost as
many p]ostOfices as the United States, and
postal savings banks are in successful oper-
alton at all popular points. Hari-kari is
o only q tradition in Japan.

caught him by the throat, threw his body
in such a shape as to prevent the cat from
ripping him with his front foot and then
killed the cat in four minutes. The wildcat
