A telegram conveying the intelligence of
the death of Dan Page at the Mendoza insane
asylum Wednesday night was received here
the following morning. His remains arrived
yesterday morning and were taken to the
home of his brother-in-law, George Bailey,
from which place they were buried yesterday
afternoon at O'Clock. Matters in the Cir
cult court are progressing very slowly. But
five unimportant cases have been tried in
nearly two weeks, the amounts involved in
these cases being less than one-half the court
expense. The case of Donohue VS.. The Town
of Warren when ready for trial was continued
until the next term because of the absence of
an important witness. Thomas Bower vs..
Thomas Ryan is now on trial. The criminal
calendar will be reached next week. Owing
to the demand for their products the furni-
ture company is now running until o'clock
p. M, thus giving their employees several
extra hours work each day. After Dec. l,
the time of labor at the Chicago s. Omaha
shops in this city will be reduced to eight
hours per day. Until the past few days but
few people outside the order knew of the ex-
istepce of an assembly of Knights of Labor in
this city. The organization has large men,
bership and are said to have well-filled
treasury. Quite a sensation was caused by
their action at meeting held Wednesday
evening, in deciding to boycott the meat mar
ket of Johnson Brothers. This firm claim the
society's action is based on their refusal to
advance money to an employee on his unearned
wages, who thereupon left and laid his case
before the Knights. A committee some
weeks later demanded that they pay him a
months wages for the time since he had left
their employ. which was refused. 1t is said
the order claims that the man was discharged
because he would not work SO per month
cheaper, another man having offered his Sc ~
ices sfor that. The outcome dis watched with
interest by our business men, this being the
first demonstration from the society. 1t is
said the society contemplate opening large
grocery and meat market for the benefit of
its members. Senator Spooner is home
from the East. Mrs Frank Eglof has re-
turned from Fort Atkinson, Wis. -. Bill Nye
met with serious accident Thursday even
ing. With his wife he was returning home
from down street in their buggy. When turn
ing an abrupt corner the vehicle was over
turned, throwing them violently to the
ground Mr.. Nye was so badly injured that
he could not rise, and to-day was suffering
considerably from bruises and strains, al
though nothing serious is apprehended. Mrs.
Nye escaped without injury.

superficial, one-horse kind of boom, but a

one of our citizens, ]. N. Stacy, discovered
what appeared to be very fine specimen of
clay cropping out on the river bank in this
village. Mr.. Stacy filled few barrels with
this clay and sent il below to be manufac-
tured into brick in order to test it and find
out whether it had the requisite qualities for
making d good article. The experiment sur
passed his expectations. He then commenced
to open up u brick yard, and during the past
fall burned two kilns of brick, had some of
them tested at the state university, and found
they stood a greater pressure to the square
inch than any brick ever tested at that insti-
tuition. Then Mr.. S. proceeded to prod and
probe the ground all around for space of
half mile and found that he was the posses
sor of an immense clay bed with sufficient
cubic feet of solid clay to make 5000, 600 brick
per year for forty years. He then formed q
company consisting of c. E. Oakley, Charles
and himself, and proposes to turn out 4,000.-

RIFI's INSANITY.
Judge sanborn's Suicide.

Special to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 20.-In the case
of the suicide of Judge Alden S. Sanborn,
whose dead body was found i'll the woods
three miles east of the city last night the
coroner's jury to-day rendered a verdict
that death resulted from an overdose of
laudanum administered by the deceased
while laboring under spell of temporary
insanity. General sorrow over the sad event
is felt in the city. The funeral will occur
tomorrow. The deceased frequently told
his family physician that he was afraid that
some time he would commit suicide, as
frequently he possessed an almost overpow-
ering inclination to do so. Percy r. San
born. the only son of the deceased. is mar
ried and resides in Milwaukee. Judge San
born was elected county judge last spring
for the term of four years, commencing the
1st OF January next. He was a Democrat.
P. H. Perkins of Madison, his Republican
opponent in the late election, is most
prominently mentioned in connection with
the gubernatorial appointment to the sue
censorship. Two years ago Sanborn's wife
died in the state insane asylum, and imme
dately afterward he married his servant
girl. who this morning took dose of
laudanum with suicidal intent, but the doc
tors have succeeded in saving her life.

Yesterday in the district court the case of
the State VS.. John Bucklin was upon motion
of defendants counsel dismissed. Bucklin
was indicted by the grand jury at the May
1885, term for murder in killing Benjamin
Baxter at Hancock some time in the same
month. Buckln is saloonkeeper at Han
cock and he and Baxter had an alteration.
during which it was claimed by the prosecu-
ton that Buckln kicked Baxter in the alb
domen and thereby infiicting injuries which
caused his death. After hearing the evidence
for the prosecution as stated, upon motion
of defendant counsel the court dismissed
the case, as it did not appear from the evil
dence offered that death resulted from the
injuries claimed to have be en- inflicted. To
dav the trial of James Moriarity, indicted for
larceny from the person, is in progress The
prevailing opinion is that he is guilty of the
crime charged. but the case of the prosecu-
ton is strongly circumstantial, and therefore
his conviction is only ma ter of speculation
On Aug. 10 man from Dasse while
drunk was robbed of large sum of money.
He was found on Main street in a stupidity
drunken condition by Morlarlty and another
person. who took him to selected spot and,

money. That same night Moriarity left town,
and was shortly afterwards arrested at Lari-
more and brought back to Morris. He was
bound over to the grand jury and has laid in
jail ever since.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Certain news
papers that are published i'll the interest Of
land thieves are industriously disseminating
the idea that the land office has entirely
suspended the issue of patents. The truth
is that the recording division of the general
Office is worked harder than it ever was be-
fore, and in the hope of reducing the ac
cumulated arrearages Commissioner Sparks
has transferred to that division clerks from
other divisions. Hitherto the land Office
has never issued more than so, 900
OF 10000 patents a year. 1t is
issuing 5000 month, or at the rate OF
~, 600 year. What the commissioner did
was to suspend the issue OF patents to GER
tain classes of claimants within certain area
until claims could be examined. and did this
because the reports OF special agents put
into the field by Republican commissioners
showed that of all the entries of the classes
and in the area referred to- from 70 to 95
per cent. We're fraudulent. the greater part of
the frauds having been procured by wealthy
cattle-r raising companies, many OF them be-
ing composed of foreigners, who sought to
acquire ownership OF land which congress
had reserved for individual settlers. who
must be American citizens, or persons who
intend to become such. To-day Commits

Barney Caultield of Deadwood, describing

twelve were fraudulent, and he was pre-

Withholding of patents works no inconven-
fence to the great majority of homesteaders.
1t does not affect them at all, unless they
want to SELL and very few of them want to
sell, except those who make their entries
not for settlement but for speculation, and
such entries are fraudulent.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 20.-John B. Leg
nard of Chicago is on trial in the United
States circuit court charged with conspiracy
to defraud the government. The case is
considered very important. Legnard is a
welI-known Chicagoan and is big cattle
dealer. 1t is alleged that by conspiracy
with Charles A. Florence of Chicago and
eight others Legnard secured l, 900 acres of
land in Northeastern Nebraska. He visited
Florence and entered the scheme to secure
the lands by means of pre- emption law.
Legnard was TO pay $50 a MONT to each
of the men. on condition that at the end of
presumption time they should deed the land
to Legnard, and as security he took their
bonds. The men pre-empted the land ac-
cording to agreement and when the time
was up returned to Chicago and duly
decided the lands to Legnard. In the
course of the trial to-day Florence, who is
a witness against Legnard, produced the
patched-up pieces of bonds which he picked
from the waste basket when Legnard sup
posed he had destroyed them. The Incl
dent created big sensation and quite dis
concerted the defense. Testimony will not
be concluded before ne t week.
