SHOT BY THE WOODSMAN.
Squatter Henry Benner's WOOine
and a SOrr0 WfuI Tragedy.

About year ago Henry NJ. Benner came
to this country and located a quarter sec
ton of land. Shortly after entering upon
the occupancy of his land and building him
a house, he engaged Mrs. Amanda n.
Towne as housekeeper. She was large,
Incorporating woman, of dark complexion,
and had separated from her husband, who
resides in the Sacramento valley. Shortly
after her arrival here she commenced a suit
for divorce, and the case was to have come
up in the Superior court this month. She
brought with her two children, little boy
and girl. Her life with Benner was I'M
pleasant. He is described as man of
brutal nature, and his appearance did not
belle his nature. He abused the woman
shamefully, and she left his employ and en-
gagged herself as cook at Graham's camp.
Here she was laboring faithfully to support
herself and little ones, the children attend
ing school, and was endeavoring to make
an honest living.
But the man Benner would not permit
her to pursue her path unmolested. 1t
seems that he had become infatuated with
her, and. despite his abuse of her. had in
sisted that she should pledge herself to
marry him upon obtaining her divorce.
Her refusal to accede to this demand led
Benner to visit her and continue his abuse.
He habitually, when opportunity offered,
called upon her, and her constant refusal
to marry him exasperated him so that he
threatened her life. The circumstances of
her persecution were well known, and be-
came the subject of general comment; so
much so that the woodsmen in the neigh
borhoed told him that if he ever visited
her again they would ''swing him over q
tree.'' This threat deferred him from pur-
suing his victim, and for a time she lived
in peace and quiet, free from his angry in
trusions. He spent his time on his claim
getting out tan-bark, and having accumu-
lated several cords, he came in on Tues
day to sell it. Meeting with Daniel E.
Gordon, who, by the way, is deputy sheriff
and constable, they walked together to

A Desperate Killed.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 26.-Intelligence
reached here this evening of the killing in
Ellest county, of Craig To!liver by Asbury
Crisp. Crisp found Toliiver, who was
drunk, sleeping with his head on the lap of
his (Crisps) paramour, and without stop
ping to awaken the sleeping man he shot
him, the ball piercing Tolliver's left breast
Just over the heart. Crisp escaped and is
at large, but friends of his victim are
securing the country for him, and promise
him summary punishment if he is caught.
It is feared this killing will stir up another
war in Rowan county. TOlliver was the
notorious deperado of Rowan county who
led the Tolliver faction in the bloody feud
on the Martin faction. The feud lasted for
over year. during which time half a
dozen or more men were killed. The out
lawry became so fragrant that no court
could sit in the county, and Gov.
Knox, after vain attempts to arbitrate mat
tiers, sent the militia into Rowan to hunt
down and bring to justice these desperadoes.
After two months service there the troops
were recalled. Tolliver and his principal
followers were arrested and jailed. In the
meantime Tolliver was taken to Cincinnati
to answer an indictment of robbery. He
was tried and acquitted. and few months
ago returned to his mountain home.

church, at the opening of the first expo
sition given by thatsarace, J. NJ. Langston,

slaves that had been liberated years before
those of the American continent. and said
that the American negroes had advanced
more in the last twenty-five years than any
others had in long period Of liberty. He
said he was the first negro on the American
continent to speak from an ambulance to
those of his own race, who had waged bit
ter war against fearful odds and won. In
conclusion Mr.. Langston urged renewed
efforts on the part of the negro to attain to
a still more exalted standard.

THE MOTOR DO MOVE,
But a Jumping Tendency in TIN
Traveller Requires Remedy.

But a Jumping Tendency in the
Traveller Requires Remedy.
The first real test of the Vandepoele cleo
trio motor was made yesterday afternoon
along First avenue south, and in so far as
the operative power of the electric current
was concerned, was success. But another
defect in the mechanism was discovered
and interfered with complete success; it
may easily be remedied, and this done, the
inventor fears no further obstacles. The
test took place at o'clock in the afternoon.
An engine brought the motor down, and the
arrival was the signal for the assembling of
large crowd, lining the avenue as far as
Tenth street. Mr.. Vandepoele took the
throttle, which in this case is lever, and
at the proper moment pulled it, the motor,
with rumbling noise, moving up the
street, while few cheers went up. AT
Third street the strange machine threw sew
eral horses into conniption fit, and the cir
cult was broken to enable them to be safely
gotten out of the way. The motor pro-
ceeded up the street, the motion being bet
ter and the noise less as the heavy
gearing adjusted itself and grew gradually
easy in position. A slight cracking was
heard and had it been night electric flashes
would have been emitted. As it was the
motor steadily pursued its way and made
four trips to Grant street and back. The
only difficulty was with the cable carriage
or traveller, which, upon sudden strain. or
slight provocation, would jump the wire.
Mr.. Vandepoele has changed the arrange
ment of this traveller, which instead of hay
ing set of grooved wheels above and be-
low the cable has only the set above and is
held in position by a brass pendulum, which
swings below. 1t seems the weight is in
sufficient to hold the traveller on the wire in
rounding curves or making switches, and
the jumping decidedly marred the success
of the test. AS far as the grades are con-
cerned, that from Third to Fourth street Of
fered no obstacle, and it is believed the
long one from Sixteenth to Twenty-second
street may as easily be surmounted.
Mr.. Vandepoele will remedy the ten
deney of the traveller to jump from the ca
bic, and thinks nothing will then stand in
the way of success. After testing the motor
it remains to be seen whether it will draw
trainload of 400 people, according to con-
tract, in which event. after thirty days of
trial, the Motor company will accept the
system. The experiment with coaches
will probably be made to-day.

growth has been steady and substantial.
During the past year brick kiln has been

the real estate business has been phenome-

show that the considerations will aggregate
50, 900, 900, or about double what it has
been usual for the twelfth month of the

taxes shall be paid on all land for which
deeds are filed. and those who do not wish
to pay taxes before June 1 are filing their
deeds. For this reason. coupled with the
desire of agents to close up all business
possible with the year, the next four days
will be unusually lively.

for Minneapolis. He told the conductor
that he had only 10 cents with which to pay
his fare and the conductor sent him to the

Before the train reached the Short Line
junction the man threw his valise off the
train and then jumped himself. The con-
ductor being appraised of the occurrence at
once stopped the train and special detec-

was sent back and he made the arrest of the
man. Bringing him to the lookup it was

legged that he got the skins honestly at Wa

THE LAST OF Christians.
The Great Church Festival Observed
by Song Service Yesterday.

Quite a number of the Minneapolis
day, but the exercises of yesterday went in
lieu thereof. Nearly all of the Sunday
schools have held their festivals, but the
exceptions, including Gethsemane, will be
given this evening. Prof. F. W. Merriam
led the choir of thirty voices at the Henne-
pin Methodist church yesterday morning,
the music being especially fine and includ-
ing solos by Miss Florence E. Farnham.
Miss Mabel Chase, the new soprano, sang
for the first time at the Plymouth church
yesterday in the grand Christmas anthem
Special services were held yesterday morn
ing at the First Methodist, Prof. Raymond
leading the choir. Solos were given by
Misses A. Baumann. Grace Bolton and Zoe
McCleary. Mrs. Casseday sang two an
thems at Westminster church in the morn
ing, and Schiller'S ''Gloria in Excelsis''
was sung by the choir in the evening. Rev.
John L. Scudder of the First Congrega-
tional church omitted his regular
labor sermon yesterday to give
way to Christmas services. In
the morning a special choir assisted in
the rendition of the really magnificent
music and Rev. Scudder preached on Look
ing Both Ways. The Christmas jubilee
service was held in the evening. At the
Church of the Redeemer yesterday morning
the organ voluntary was an original compo-
sition, Birth of Christ" by Prof. Harm
sen. Several Christmas anthems were
sung by the choir and the Esd Psalm was
given as bass solo by A. W. Krech. The
Gethsemane Sunday school festival this
evening will be of more than passing inter-
est.
Besides the Christmas services mentioned
several unusually good sermons were
preached at the churches. The attendance,
however, was very limited, as rule, the
weather being very unpromising. The an
nuaI meeting of the Church of Christ was
held last week and the showing made by
this little congregation was very satisfac-
tory indeed.
