Brutal Revenge on Young Lady.

Miss George Aldridge, highly respecta-
BILE young lady of Windsor, Ill, was attacked
at home while she was alone Saturday even.
ing by an unknown scoundrel. His evident
desire was to commit an assault. In this he
was foiled, but he was bound on fiendish
work and gagged her with corncob thrust
down her throat. Binding her hands, he
tore her apron into slips, and, using this as
halter, hung her to cherry tree in the
yard. Her feet were raised from the ground
and she was left hanging from the tree dead
as he supposed. He then entered the house
and wrote note, leaving it 10 the room. 1t
was addressed to the girls father and said :
OLD Dr. ALDRIDGE am evcn with you now.
have waited long time but now guess the
account is square. did not kill your daughter.
She was scared to death. When / lifted her up
she was dead. You need not look for me- will
bs far away.
Accidentally the young lady's brother
S. II. Aldridge, who was passing by to bis
own home few blocks further on, stopped
at his fathers house on an errand. He ran
against his sisters body dangling from the
tree. He quickly cut down the body and
carried it into the house. Although it was
cold, the presence of feeble pulse assured
him that life was not extinct. Aid was
quickly called, but it was only after two
hours active application of restorativss that
she showed signs of reviving.
She regained consciousness but for a few
moments, and then she dropped off into a
stupor between life and death. This has
been her history all day in that particular.
The present affair resembles the famous
| Emma Bond case.
She has yet been unable to give any con-
nected account of the assault. Gould she
but identify the guilty man justice would be
meted cut to him. Windsor is ahame
with Indignation. There is an auti-horse-
thief organization which is kind of local
vigilance committee. 1t has called meet
ing to consider the outrage.
| No arrests have been made as yet. Suspic'
ion points strongly towards Windsor parties
but the evidence against them is purely cir
cumstantial.

Decision for the Settler.

In the case of William J. Hamilton
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, involving the claim of set
tier to tract of land within the limits
of the grant, which was resisted by the
company on technical grounds respecting
the original settlers qualifications as
preemptor Commissioner Sparks holds
that the settlement claim proved by
occupation and improvement, although
not placed on record, excepts the land
from the withdrawal, and that the rail-
road company cannot be heard to attack
the settlers qualifications or compliance
with law under the public land laws of
the United States. The principle of
this decision is that land occupied by
actual settlers as well as lands fled
under claims of record, are excepted from
railroad grant and withdrawal, and being
SO excepted at the proper time, would
not pass to the railroad even if the
settlement Calm should afterward prove
to be in any manner defective as against
the United States. Commissioner
Sparks further holds that the question
then would be between the original or
subsequent settler, as the case might be,
and the government, and can never be
made question between the settler and
the railroad company; in other words,
that land grant railroads cannot pursue
settlers and challenge the validity of
their claims as against the United States.

The "Well.FIxed" Grants.

Mr.. Jesse Grant said on Monday that
his mother had received her first check
from the publishers on account of "Gen.
Grants Life" / have not seen the fact
mentioned in the newspapers How
much do you suppose that check was for?
No less than $3.50, ,OOOl-''the largest sum
ever paid at one time for literary work, ,
he said. The next largest check, he
thinks was paid to Macaulay-a hundred
and fifty thousand copies of his wonder
full history having sold within four
weeks. But think Walter Scott, who
was the idol of his generation, and who
wrote against time, death and the sher-
if, is entitled to this second place. If l
am not mistaken, he received $500, 900
from Constable ut one time, just before
he was made baronet, and he earned
100000 q year, for nearly score of
years. The Grants have largely in
creased their expectations concerning
the book, which is their sheet anchor,
and the publishers bid them hope for
"at least 500 900" as their royalty! The
volumes are inartisticallv and even
put together, and present a
poor specimen of the topographic and
and bookbinder's art. The maps are
obscure and totally unlike in style, and
the whole job is badly done. But
great soldier is back Of it, and the way it
sells is high compliment to the Amer
lean people. AS long as we are capable
of such enthusiasts and raptures in
behalf of those who have served lis, so
long are we as a nation safe. By the
way, it is now known that the Grants
are most glad that they persisted in de-
clining the gift of S150,0OO from w. II.
Vanderbilt. There were two parties to
the controversy as to whether that mag
nifcent present should be received or
not, Col. Fred Grant seconding his faith
er's willingness to accept it, and the
other two sons standing resolutely with
their mother, determined that 1t should
be declined.-W. A. Croffut.

The Whole Truth.

Bob Burdette tells about the whole
truth in the following: "My son. if /
should publish a daily paper for twenty
years, and in all that time take occasion
to mention you about twice a week as
'our distinguished fellow townsman' and
that eminent man of letters and mer-
chant prince, and should say every time
you crossed the river on the ferry. that
you had departed for the east and
when you came back / should notice
that our justly popular citizen has re-
turned if, in all these years l should
praise your dog, your horse, your goods,
your wife and your babies, your clothes
and your character, and then some day,
when / was attending a convention, my
local editor should call the attention of
the town marshal to the filthy condition
condition Of the street and sidewalk in
front of your store, would you ever for
give me? You would denounce the
paper as 'scurrilous sheet and its
editor as lying scandal monser that
ought to he whipped out of the com
munity."
