Mr. Milligan gave this notice, an application
was made at the probate court for license
for Robert McCullom and Hattie Miligan.
The application having been forestalled by
the fathers dicfum, it was promptly refused.
The court, however. was informed that it
would do no good, as the lovers were bound
to get married whether school kept or not.
Miss Hattie had been visiting in Helena for
two weeks at the home of Mr. Bowers. One
day Mr.. Muligan called on his daughter and
Jade arrangements to take her
back home. Afterwards McCullom drove
up to the Bowers house, told the inmates
that he was going to take Miss Hattie out
to Boulder and bore his inamorata in trii-.
umph and a hack When Milligan arrived to
take his daughter home he found the bird had
fown. He wanted to take steps to arrest
McCullom for abduction, but found he could
not do SO, as the girl had gone of her own
free will. Next it was learned that the lovers
had been married at Boulder and had taken
the first train for Butte. McCullum is thirty
eight years old and is the proprietor of a
farm adjoining Milligans. The girl is seven.

MeCutlom, but he was not his choice and did
not wish his daughter to marry SO young.
the couple will probably receive his blessing
when they return. This is the second elope-
ment in Miliigan's family his eldest daughter
having figured IN a runaway match some
years ago.

Queer Motive for Suieide

Harry Gilbert, a wealthy ranchman living
west of Wichita, Kansas, committed suicide
by drowning. He had just returned from his
bridal tour, having been married six weeks
ago to Miss May Randall, of New York. He
left note saying she would be better off with
out him. He leaves an estate worth half a
million. Gilbert was about forty-one
years of age, and came from Hartford
Conn. He purchased several thousand
acres, and was considered one of the leading
cattlemen of that section, taking unusual
INTEREST," in all meetings of the Cattlemen's
association. The day before the suicide he
seemed in unusually good spirits and made
a number oflarge purchases. AS soon as his
wife saw the note she Immediately gave the
alarm His body was found, but all efforts
at Tesusitation proved of no avail His
wife is a sister of Mrs. Eugene Butler of
Wichita and was most beautiful and accom-
plished woman. Gilbert met her three years
ago. She was visiting, and he became deeply
attached to her. He stated year ago that
he intended to give up his bachelor life and
to marry a woman to whom he would leave
all his property for her to enjoy. He was of
q retiring, hmid nature, and the superstition
is that after his marriage he imagined that
he was too rough and uncouth for SO culti-
waited a wife, and while brooding over this
ina gined want of refinement he took his life,
and thus carried out his threats to leave to
the woman he loved all his fortune for her to
enjoy.

turned to the aid of his companion Burg
graf was struck on the head with one of the
cleavers, and the scalp laid open for six
inches. The blow foored him. By the time
he regained his feet the second man had
time enough to hand one of the cleayers to
his partners and both burglars attacked him
The fight was SO hot that one of the men
thought best to get out. Burggraf grappled
with the remaining burglar. They fought all
over the place, the butcher managing to
keep hold on the mans right arm and pre-
vented further use of the cleaver. The racket
aroused the other members of the family, and
the wife, who is an invalid, responded to the
call, together with her mother and sister
The burglar hit the fingers of the women and
the keen edge of the cleaver lacerated them
He was finally overpowered and tied with
rope. Then Mrs. Burggraf tainted. Burg

Jack, the Ripper, Ubiquitous.

Police Superintendent Campbell of Brooklyn
received cable dispatch from Mr. Anderson,
the deputy chief of the Lond on police, asking
him to make some inquiries about Francis
8Tumb lety, who is under arrest in England on
the charge of indecent. assault Tumblety is
referred to in the dispatch in the following
manner: ssHe says he is known to you, chief,
as Brooklyn's beauty" Tumblety was ar
rested in London some weeks ago as the sup
posed Whitechapel murderer Since his IN
generation in prison he has boosted of how
he has succeeded in battling the police
He also claimed that he was a resident of
Brooklyn. and this was what caused the
deputy chief of police to communicate with
Superintendent Campbell The superintend-
ent gave the dispatch immediate attention
and has learned all about Tumblety. He
came to New York in 1868 from Sherbrook
Canada, where he said he had been prac;
ticing physician. He opened store and
sold herb preparations He did a tremen-
ldous business, and deposited in q savings
bank at least 500 a day He was very
eccentric character, six feet high, dark COM
Splexion, large and long flowing monstache,
and was well built. Whenever he appeared
on the street he was accompanied by. a, valet
and two greyhounds. His valet was known
as Harold, and was implicated with Booth
in the ASSASSINATION of President Lincoln.
Tumblety was arrested with a man named
Blackburn for bringing infected rags into the
port, but escaped conviction. Shortly after
wards he disappeared, and was not heard of
again until 1883. In that year he went to
Hot Springs, Ark, to be treated for rheuma-
tism. Eighteen months ago he was seen
in Fulton street, and since that time Capt.
Eason has lost all track of him.

The NorthernPacific Decision.

A great many inquiries have been made
at Washington to ascertain why tits that
the opinion of the attorney general in the
matter OF the second indemnity limits of the
Northern Pacific company, which bears date
in January last, should not have been made
public until Saturday last, Nov. 81 The re-
quests for information upon this subject,
which have been made at the interior depart
ment, have not been answered. There was
no disposition manifested to say anything
about the matter The officials were either
inclined to say nothing about it, or they ae-
.cepted it as a matter of course. There was less
mystery at the department of Justice. There
the officials who had custody of the opinion,
and who were engaged in the preparat ion oft,
simply that the opinion was withheld ut the
request of Secretary Villas, and that no other
reason was assigned for the withhold ing of
the report, except the arbitrary request The
curious fact about the matter is that tho
opinion of the attorney general in effect over
turns the decision of the secretary of the in
terror in this case, which received the APPROX
al OF the president. The letter of the latter
has been given wide publicity as a cam
paign document. The inference of those who
are familiar with the facts, and who, being
in official position, do not care to talk q bout
the matter, is that it was not deemed advis-
able to make the opinion public until after
election.

after being out about sixty hours. They
were unable to agree on a verdict Some
startling revelations were made during the
trial. The story of the feud which led I'D to
the murder rivals anything to be found in
the history of the Tennessee mountains.
Both Rose and Lufkins are natives of the
malaria belt OF Indians, where White Cans
grow and flourish and lawlessness is law.
They came to Southwestern Minnesota ten
years ago and settled on adjoining farms.

and the bitterness engendered by this trivial
circumstance grew and bloomed into hatred
that stopped at nothing, not even at as
sassination. In the trial an Internal machine
was introduced to prove enmity on the part
of the defendant, William Rose: The machine
consists OF a can of powder with chunks
OF railroad iron bound around it
with wire. This machine was exploded
in the rear of Luffk1ns' house on
the night of June %, 1887, while the Lutf-
klns were asleep, but the explosion was pre-
mature and no one was injured Grace Lutf-
kins, daughter of the murdered man, testified
to having recognized the voice of William
Rose calling to some one and running away
immediately after the explosion. The Luff-
kins found several torches composed ofstrins
OF calico and other cloth soaked in Kerosene
that had been fired and placed against Luff-
klns' house at the same time, and Jug con
tanning kerosene had been thrown through
the window and broken, saturating Luffkins'
kitchen floor with Kerosene to make the work
OF the fire surer. On Jan. 80 succeeding the
attempt to fire the house, William Rose was
arrested on the complaint of Luffkins, Rose
got even by swearing out warrants charging
Luffkins with incest with his own daughters
