Two Americans Kept Locked Up for
over Year Lower California.


Two Americans Kept Locked Up for
over a Year in Lower California.
AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 8.-The action of
Gov. Ireland in the Rasures case is bring
ing to public attention other Mexican out
RACES upon American citizens. A COM
plant comes from J. B. Wood and L. II.
Gaskell, who allege, in substance:
That in August, 1885, they were arrested
by Mexicans on the Lagoana ranch, in Lower
California (Mexico) on account of the sudden
disappearance of one J. III. Hanson, their
friend, who employed them to mind his cattle,
and who, they say, went to San Francisco and
did not return. At the time of the COM
plainants arrest the Mexicans, they say, be-
gan to sell, kill and eat Hanson's cattle. One
Mexican even claimed Hansons property and
another said Hanson would winter in hi. 1t
is alleged that these Mexicans doubtless know
what has become of Hanson, who had had
much trouble and had been imprisoned for
the purpose, it is asserted, of extOrting
money from him. Mexicans had shot at him
several times, and once wounded him
seriously. The complaiuants apprehend that
the object of their arrest was to
convict them of Hansons murder and
cOnf1scate their property. The MeXicans
have tried to brighten them so as to make
them break Jail and fee the country, but they
would not scare and are still in Jail. The
complaints say: I'VE have been here one
year and fifteen days for no other reason than
speculative purposes on the part of the thiev-
ing Mexicans. We have written our consul
at Lipaz and got two or three letters from
him when we first came down here, but he will
not answer our letters any more, and the courts
here have done nothing In our case. Their
complaint covers over fifteen pages of fools
cap paper, recting the mockeries of Mexican
courts, their harsh treatment in jail and the
taunts of the Mexicans that they will pay no
attention to the appeals of the prisoners to
the United States government. Hanson left
about $50, 900 worth Of property in Mexico.
Gov. ireland in reply states that he is glad to
get this statement, but that the complafhants
should appeal to the state department
through the governor of California, in which
state they claim legal residence.

The G itfZens of Akron Get the Best
of "a Street.Crossing Fight.
AKRON, o., Sept. s.-A lively war. with
several hundred citizens on one side and a
score of Valley road track hands under
Roadmaster Delaney on the other, stirred
this city to its depthst his afternoon. Some
time ago the city council passed an ordi-
nance giving the Valley railway the priv
ilege of crossing Ash street on grade with
a switch. The provisions of the ordinance
were not generally known until yesterday,
when attention was called to it by pub
lished card. Fearing that the ordinance
might be revoked the Valley road officials
to-day ordered a force Of men to be set at
work building the switch across tho street.
They began shortly after o'clock. Soon
several hundred men came to the spot, be-
ing shortly reinforced by hundreds of other
citizens. The railroad men stood their ground
but the bowling sscrowd closed about
them and in five minutes more, amid shouts
and cheers. ripped up ties and rails and
threw them over into the Ohio canal. For
a moment it seemed as though riot would
be precipitated, but cooler heads inter-
vened. Tonight several hundred citizens
are standing guard and arrangements have
been made to ring the city bells and call
out the whole town if another attempt is
made to lay the track.

Frank FarnsWorth, who was shot by
Frank j. Meade at the Merchants hotel
Tuesday night, was much improved yes
terdav, and the attending physician has
hopes of his recovery. The ball has been
located above the back OF the right hip
bone, and the indications are
that the ball followed the muscles
around to the back and did
not penetrate any of the intestines. The
wounded mans sister and brother arrived
in the city yesterday and are nursing him.
1t was proposed yesterday to remove the
bullet last night, but after consultation it
was decided by the physicians to wait until
to-day Meade was arTaigned in the
police court yesterday morning, and
the case was continued until to-day.
c. K. Davis appeared for Meade, and after
q consultation with County Attorney Egan.
- complaint of any kind was made, the
younty attorney deciding it best to wait I'M
til the result of FanSworth'S injuries were
known. Meade was remanded to
Jail without bail. and yesterday was
visited by numerous friends. He de-
MED that he was at all intoxicated
at the time of the shooting. and says he re-
members distinctly every incident. He re-

pressed the hope that FanSwOrth would re-
cover, adding that his trouble was greater
than Farnsworth'S. AT midnight last night
FarnSworth was resting well, and
no one but his uncle and ply
sieian were allowed to see him.
No particulars as to the shooting in addition
to those published in the GLOBE yesterday
morning were brought out. There were
rumOrS Of an OLD quarrel between Meade
and FanswOrth, but those who know both
say that they are not true.

under the present low rate, has increased
largely, and it is confidently hoped that the

Some Sensational DEVELOPMENTS

The complaint in racy suit for breach
of promise, aggravated by seduction, was
filed in the district court nearly week ago
and was suppressed in the clerk Office. The
suit is brought by Mary V. Haselbarth
against Louis S. Keller, both residents of
st. Paul, and the amount of damages asked
is $50. 900. The complaint alleges that in
the month of March, 1885, the plaintiff and
defendant became engaged to be married;
that relying on defendants promise to
marry her she has remained single and is
ready and willing to marry him; that he has
refused to do this. By way OF special dam
age the plaintiff alleges that the defendant,
under this promise of marriage, which he
had made with intent to de-
ceive her. in March, 1885, seduced
her and ruined her character and repu-
tation, which had hitherto been above re-
proach. The plaintiff further says that de-
PENDANT communicated to her a loathsome
disease which has ruined her health, and
that, as necessary expenses on account OF
SAID sickness, she paid out the sum of $500.
By reason of all these facts the plaintiff
demands Judgment for 100000 as damages.
The plaintiff in this case, Mary V.
Haselbarth. is a widow with four children,
residing at SAT Park avenue, She is about
SO years of age. Her attorneys, Clay u
Thompson, were asked about the case yes
terday. Mr.. Clay said that he mad made
careful inquiry into the lady's character and
had found it good. Mr.. Clay was also
asked about the rumor that he had had a
little personal difficulty with defendants
brother. G. +. Keller. He stated that on
the day the suit was brought G. Z. Keller
and detective came into his Office and the
former accused him of bringing black
mailing suit against his (Keller's) brother
Mr.. Clay denied this and Mr.. Keller then
used insulting language to him. Upon this
the attorney struck Mr.. Keller in the face,
cutting his lip so that he spit blood, but he
made no resistance, and so the attack was
not followed up. 1t is said that there may
be further developments in the case. George
w. Walsh is Mr.. Kellers attorney. He
said to GLOBE reporter that the reason
the papers were suppressed was that it had
been the intention to arrest the plaintiff
for Matchmaking. He had evidence that it
was a case of this character, and County
Attorney Egan had been consulted with
view to making the arrest on this charge.
He said Mr.. Keller was innocent of the
charges, as would be shown on the trial,
when the case would be fought to finish.
1t is said that persons, whose names are not
mentioned in the complaint, may be
brought out in the trial with sensational
results.

IN JAIL AND nis WIFE DYING.
How J. ID. Martin, Held on Charge
of Murder, Spends His Time.-His
Wife and Child.

One of the inmates of the Jail is J. D..
Martin, who is held for trial for the trans
fer murder last spring. A short time after
his arrest his wife and child arrived in the
city, and Mrs. Martin has remained near
him, getting her living for the past six
months as she could find work to do. But
health gave away and she is now an inmate
of ST. Luke's hospital. reduced almost to
the last extremity by typhoid fever. Never
strong, the strain has proved greater than
she could bear, and little hope of her recoy-
cry is entertained by her friends. of whom
she has made many. She has been reported
as dying slowly but surely for the
past week while the fever has
been working out its course. On
Friday last. through the humanity of the
sheriff-for it seems they sometimes have
feelings was taken from Jail to his
wife's bedside, as she was very i'll. Kind
ness should draw the curtain over this in
terview, but it had to be ended. Those ac-
cursed iron bars must separate them, and
keep him from the one place dearest to him.
Daily she is sinking, and the officers are
willing to take Martin for another visit any
time the doctor will permit it. The child,
Il
time in the care of Mrs. flaming, the jail
visitor of the w. G. L. u, and is often car
ried in her arms TO see the unfortunate
father, who for short time at least can
fondle his little one. Martins six months
of Jail life more aggravated at the last, has
had a,,visible effect aponjhim. From thick
set, robust man, he has dwindled away to
the half of his former self. While his
health holds out well, it is at the
expense of his physique. The only amuse-
mentS of the confinement are walking
about, reading and playing cards, and for
the latter he has no taste. Walking about
is mOnotOnouS and does not occupy the
mind which needs caging to be on a level
with the body. So he reads. All the
books and papers he wants are at his dis
posal and he reads, reads, reads all day
long Anything to occupy his mind and
obscure the picture of his dying wife and
helpless child, to give him moments re-
lief from the weight dragging him down.
But for these respites from his naturally
rebellious thought, the mind might suffer
sudden snap and all would be blank. His
trial is almost at hand, when he confidently
expects his liberty, and his wife who has
so faithfully believed in his innocence.
clingS to her hopes that others will some
time believe as she does.

THE PIUTE INDIANS.
They are Getting ugly, and Some
Alarm IL Felt.


AUSTIN, New, Sept. ga report has
Just reached here that the Piute Indians are
getting ugly and uneasy. A few days ago
a drunken Indian murdered man named
Lindberger in Smoky valley, and his arrest
has caused the tribe to act in very sus-
picious manner. 1t is feared that massa-
ere may take place at any time. 1t is said
that friendly Indians have warned families
living in the mountains to get out and seek
places of safety until the hostile feeling
wears away. The rangers are already
alarmed, and are taking steps to protect
themselves. AS the valley is Sparsely set
tied, few murderous Indians could easily
kill them all and then escape to the noun
tains and never be captured, as white men
could not follow them. Some families are
preparing to move to Austin or Ophir. The
whole trouble arose from selling whisky to
the Indians.
