RATHER COMPLICATED.
Claim Jumping, Will Breaking
and lncendiarism.

Special to the Globe.
ST. JAMES, Minn., April 1s.-Robert
Mcdonald, of this, place, this spring
erected house upon land in the town
of Adrian, this county, the title to
which is in dispute between him and
the widow of his brother, the late
Thomas Mcdonald, who died three
years ago. Robert lately moved into
the house with his wife and daughter.
On Sunday night last, during his alb
sence III town, the house was partially
destroyed by fire, one end being burned
out. Yesterday Mr.. Mcdonald took
steps to have Mrs. Thomas Mcdonald
and her adopted son, f. A. Alice, ar
rested for incendiarism, his complaint
charging them with setting the
flre. Years ago the land in
question was held as tree
claim by Robert Mcdonald, but
during his absence In Canada his
brother Thomas jumped the claim and
held it. On his death bed he made
will, in which forty acres of the land
was given to Robert, but there was an
error in the will which allowed the
widow to hold the entire quarter sec
ton. Later his adopted son, +. A.
Alice, filed on the land, alleging in his
contest that Thomas Mcdonald was an
alien and had never been naturalized.
Through flaw in the papers the con-
test trial did not take place, and before
new papers could be secured Robert Me-
Donald had "homesteaded'' the land
for the same reasons, and had erected
small house on the place and occupied it
with his family. The fire of Sunday
night takes the matter into court for
settlement. The year following Thomas
McDonald's death the barns on the
place were burned, tog ether with sew
eral head of horses, cows, hay and grain
stacks, infiicting quite loss. The
family was absent at the time, but the
fire was purely an accident.

SIOUX CITY SUICIDE.
Albert Hits, Who Disappeared
Last November, Found Dead.

Special to the Globe.
Sioux CITY, To-, April 1S.-The body
of Albert Hits, a German, aged about
forty years, was found this afternoon
partly buried in the sawdust in one of
the old unused ice houses at the Arens-
dorf brewery. BY his side was a re-
vOlver, identified as the property of
John ArensdOrf, one chamber of which
was empty, and in Hits breast directly
over the heart was a bullet wound.
Last fall the deceased was engaged as
assistant bookkeeper at the Franz Brew
cry conpany's establishment, but was
discharged for not attending to his
duties. He was last seen OH the 14th
of November, at which date Arensdorf
ordered him off the place. Next day
the revolver was missed from drawer
i'm the office. The coroner's Jury
brought in a verdict of suicide, and the
body will be buried by his friends. The
deceased was well educated but adj
dicted to drink. When the body was
first found much excitement was caused
by the report that it was Henry Peters,
who was with Arensdorf on the night
of the Haddock murder, and about
whose death in the brewery strange and
contradictory stories have been told.

BERLIN, April 49,, a. m.-The EN-
peror's condition has taken decided
change for the worse, and his physl-
clans without exception consider his life
in danger. In spite of Emperor Fred
erick's two appearances at the castle
window to-day, the people have little
faith in the accuracy of the bulletins
issued by his physicians, and the popu-
lar suspicion that the whole truth as
to his condition is not being told is
rapidly drifting toward positive belief.
The theory that the emperor is
suffering from blood poisoning is
strengthened by the fact that his tenn
perature has not for several hours fallen
below 1872, although the attendant phys
icians frequently represent that the
fever is abating. The latest kilograms
indicate that the crisis is at its height,
though there may possibly be no i'm
mediate danger of collapse. All hope
is based upon the result of the consulta-
ton of the physicians and specialists
which is to take place early tomorrow,
when it is believed that conclusion
will be reached which will enable the
doctors to take the public more eXten-
sively into their confidence with regard
to the actual condition Of the kaiser.
ANOTHER REPORT.
The tube in the emperor'S throat was
skillfully changed by DR.. Howell with
out assistance. The change was made
necessary by difficulty and noise in
breathing, caused by the growth in the
throat partially covering the mouth of
the canula. The new tube, which has a
double end, is better adapted to facili
tate breathing, and gave the emperor
much relief. The patients fever
has increased, as the doctors have
stopped using antipyrine. Just be-
fore the arrival of Prince Bismarck
to-day the chancellor's messenger
brought to the castle portfolio with
documents, presumably for discussion
with the emperor, The latter bears his
illness admirably. and i'll spite of all
takes the greatest interest in state af-
fairs. He wanted to drive out to-day,
but the doctors forbade him to do SO.
His appetite continues gaod. 1t is not
true that there are external sWellings
on his neck and breast in proximity to
the trachea.

CHICAGO, April 1s.-The switchmen
who work nights in the south branch
yards of the Northwestern road struck
tonight, and eight or ten engines which
usually work in the yards along Six
teenth street, from the river to Western

vance of the men was stated to be a
change in the yard masters. So far as
known, the matter has no connection
with the Burlington trouble. Thirty

STOPPED BY THE POLICE.
Jim Fell and Bob Ferguson Spar
Nine Lively Rounds at New
VOrIr

nine Lively ROunQS at New
York.
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, April 1S.-The much
talked-of ten-round glove contest be-
tween Jim Fell, of Grand Rapids, Mich,
and Bob Ferguson, of Chicago, took
place tonight at Odd Fellows hall,
Hoboken, N. j. The fight was the out
come of the finish match the men had
two months ago, when Ferguson
lost on foul. Each contestant
has trained earnestly for month. Fell
has fought many battles, and has made
a name for himself as rusher. He is
thirty-two years old, stands five feet
eight and one-half inches. and tonight
weighed ITO pounds. Ferguson is
twenty-four years old, stands an inch
above six feet, and weighed 1S1 pounds.
The hall was packed. j.; G. Ken
made referee and Billy O'Brien
held the watch. Jack Harper and
Teddy Wilson handled Ferguson, and
George Thomas and Jack Smith looked
after Fell. The terms were Queensberry
rules, sixteen foot ring and two ounce
gloves. The gloves used did not appear
to be so heavy. The. referee was
empowered to order further rounds
than the criminal ten, in case
of necessity. All the sports of the vi
cinity and some from Chicago, Boston
and Philadelphia were present. From
the very start the programme carried
out was of the hammer and t0ngs play,
and the reception of severe
punishment. Fell did most of
the leading, but the big
fellow almost always sent back better
than he received. Ferguson had his
man on the ropes dozen times, and
always beat him on the body while there
without mercy. Three times Ferguson
rushed Fell to the floor. and twice
knocked him clean down. Fell had Fer
guson against the ropes only once, but
the infghting gave the Chicago man
many hard blows on the face and
breast. In the eighth round Fell was so
badly punished that he could offer no
resistance. 1t was lucky for him
that time was called when it was. In
the ninth round Fell nomentarily gath
cred strength, and the vicious fighting
continued amid the wild cheers of the
crowd. The police would allow only
one and half minutes of this round,
when they stopped the contest. Referee
Kennedy decided that because of the
police interference he should make the
match draw. About $500 was taken

For eight innings Minneapolis played

out skip, the other errors being
attributable to bases on balls, which
