Soto. who was serving a life term in the

Borden of the Mansfield female college

three years ago, was very sensational one.
Both the murderer and his victim were
ministers and very near and dear friends,
Borden having persuaded Jenkins to join
the church, and having ordained him as a
minister. Borden was principal of one of
the largest colleges in Louisiana. jenkins
claimed that one of the young ladies
i'm that college. who was engaged to
him. confessed that Borden had seduced
her, which so wrought up her lover that he
attacked Borden in the public streets of
Mansfield and killed him. He was wholly
unable to prove this on trial, the young lady
declaring she had never made this confess
sion and had never been engaged to Jen-
kins. and the result was he was found
guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. His pardon is granted ou the recon-

DEs MONIES. Ia. Jan. 22.-The blizzard
last night has rendered worse than useless
the vast amount of labor performed by the
various railroads of this center throughout
the past week. The cuts had been cleared
and snow piled very high on the banks and
last nights storm filled them with closely
packed snow. which can only be removed
by pick and shovel and hauled away The
wind was so strong that the snow was
swept to the sleet bed foundation. The
narrow-gauge roads will not attempt to open
until the weather abates sufficiently 10 rem
der their efforts of some avail, but the
larger roads have strong forces of men at
work. hoping to conquer the drifts. In
quiries at the railroad offices and dispatches
from Cedar Rapids and Marshalltown
show the blockade TO be fully as
severe as that of ten DAYS
ago. The various freight Yards
of the city are filled with freight, and from
the enormous amount of coal on the track
it is feared the northwestern part of the
state will suffer for lack of fuel. OF course
this will be the first freight moved. and
will be sent through as quickly as possible.
Not half dozen loads of farm products
came to the city to-day. and coal dealers
are overcrowded with city orders.
