The Hsddock Murder.

Chicago News: Attorney Wood, counsel
for Harry Leavitt, who is under bonds for
completely in the murder of the Rev. George
Haddock at Sioux City, Iowa, said: '
The situation in regard to the murder is
just this. Mr.. Leavitt has been indicted with
ten others for murder and for conspiracy to
murder Rev. George Haddock. Immunity
and protection was promised him before he
turned states evidence, and it is the inten-
ton OF the prosecution to carry out that
promise. No appeal is necessary to Gov.
Larrabee. for immediate immunity could
not be extended by the governor until
after Mr.. Leavitt should appera and testify
in all the courts in which he might be call.
ed upon to appear and testify by the state.
Mr.. Leavitt is under pond in the sum of 1885,
600, which is required more for the purpose
oisecuringh his presence as a witness than any
thing else. This bond was secured through
the influence of the Methodist ministers.
There has been no refusal on the part OF
the Law and Order League to 60 on Mr..
Leavitt's bond. That League was never
asked to furnish the bonds, and there.
fore could not rave made any such re-
fusal. Under authority vested in me by
the governor I extended tho protection
and immunity to Mr.. Leavitt, agree.
ing to see that proper bond was given in
his behalf. That prqmiss. I have kept.
and there was no trouble tn securing
bonds. DR.. E. Bedford and others gave
and a number Of others were willing to
give bond, as they were convinced OF the
truth OF Mr.. Leavitt's statement in regard
to the shooting.
"What do you think will be the nature
OF the defense?" asked the reporter.
""The defense will be that Henry Peters
and Harry Leavitt crossed the street and
met Haddock; that. one or the other OF
these two men fired the fatal shot, and that
Arsendorf was not in the vicinity. Peters
whereabouts being at present unknown
makes the defense simply . question Of
Identity as to who fired the shot"
"Were Mr.. Leavitt and Bismarck &C.
quai2ted?"
Neither OF them had ever met, except
on the night OF the murder, until the 22d.
OF November, 1886, when Leavitt. in com.
pany with Others, called upon Bismarck
marck' whether he knew him. Bismarck
Leavitt then said: Ny name is
Leavitt, do you know me now i don't
know as I ever saw you BEFORE was the
answer. 'Who fired the gum asked Lea
witt. 'Arensdorf shot Haddock; I have
told the truth. That all I know about
it, 'Bismark' replied 1t lisa very singular
coincidence that 'Bismark' should be ar
rested in San Francisco. not knowing that
Leavitt had turned states evidence, or
that any other person had mentioned
Arensdorf's name, and that Leavitt sur
rendered himself in Ceicago, not knowing
Bismark. Yet, they both Immediately
designate Arensdorf as the man who fred
the fatal shot which killed DR.. Haddock."

The Limited Trains Taken Oh.

The announcement has officially been
made that CO mmencing Sunday in st. q
the 29th inst. the limited trains between st.
Paul and Min neapolis and Chicago would be
taken of. The reason assigne ed was that
there was not business enough to warrant
the running OF these trains during the win
tor months. The order withdrawing the
trains said that they would probably be
put on again April 1, to continue running
during the summon months. The chanc-
es are, however, that the twin cities
OF the Northwest will not for q long
time again enjoy tho privilege Of
q twelve.hour train service. The
limited trains never paid. They were al
together experimental, and it has been
conclusively proven that they cannot be
made to pay unless the public will submit
to an extra tax OF at least 81 or So. In
Guiding the limited trains there ara now
running between the cities mentioned four.
teen trains during the week and twelve on
Sunday. This is altogether too many, for
one.half that number would easily a:com-
modatethe present limited travel.

ure will be introduced to raise the effective
strength OF the army, which is justified by
the increasing OF the armies of neighborine
states. Thu measure is indispensable to Ger
man security. The resources required will
be raised by increasing matriculatory con.
tributions and applying them to the pub
lie credit. A measure providing insurance
for w~orkingmen will also be introduced.
By the law OF May 6, 1880, the peace ef
fective was fixed until March 81, 1888
Our military system, therefore, requires

That VVOna 4rtul law.

It has come to pass that the great
aoa magnificent Law, organizing IA
Board of Corrections and Charities in
this county has need Of remodeling.-
The present Legislature has been called
upon to perfect in the second, taat
which was supposed to be perfect in
the first degree.
True it IS, thlt it cost the County
but little to have it enacted as the au-
thorities declined to let the people
know what its provisions Were; at least
they were unwilling that such informa-
ton should be prom llyuted at any cost
to them. We would now ask whether
the knowledge Of its worthlessness has
not become every ones property and
whether it would not he better policy
in the future to lay before the people
all laws for their benefit (?) prior to
their passage, to the end that they may
be intelllgently discussed before they
take the form of law and become an
incubus and nuisance.
