A FATHERS LUST.

A Sioux City Girl Charges Her
Father With Causing Her Ruin.
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX CITY, To-, April 13.-J. d.
Depuy was arrested this morning on a
warrant charging him with incest. He
was brought before Justice Foley, and,
not being ready for trial, the case was
continued till the 21st, bonds being fixed
in $1,000, in default of which Depuy
went to Jail. His daughter, Belle
Depuy, aged fifteen, was taken sick
last night, and her stepmOther tried to
ascertain what was the trouble. The
girl denied that there was anything Sc
rious, but physicians were summoned
who found her in the agonies of child
birth. For time it was thought she
would die, and at the urgent and re-
peated requests of the physicians as to
who was the father of her child she at
last said that her father was the author
of her ruin. The attending physician
at once swore out warrant for the
brute, who stoutly denied the charge,
and claimed that between the I'd and
18th of last July the girl visited her
grandparent in MOnona county, and
that she was ruined while absent. The
girl claims that her father has forced
her to submit to his lust for period of
eighteen months. The father main
tainS that the girl is out of her mind,
and that he is accused wrongfully.
DeDuy is fifty-eight wears old.

bility, and was given by Mrs. Hillen,
Holong's sister; B. B. Haugen, of De-
corah, who knew Holong for many
years, and several farmers of the St.
Olaf neighborhood who knew Holong
and had noted his peculiarities. The
only sensation of the trial was the put
ting of Holong himself on the stand.
With great difficulty he was induced to
tell some of the facts of the murder, but
he constantly protested that he could
not remember, and was soon allowed
to step down. Several local physi-
clans testified to their belief in
the prisoners moral responsibility. In
summing up for the state Mr.. Lewis
made a strong speech, ridiculing the
idea of self-defenSe or accidental kill
ing, and claiming that the prisoner,
finding the girl alone, except for her
little brother, sent the lad away and
made an attempt to ravish her, and
wards. and then put the body where he
hoped the hogs would devour it. He
also alluded to the several unpublished
murders which had been perpetrated in
Otter Tail county, and called on the
jury to insure the safety of their FAM
lilies and retrieve the good name
of Otter Tail county from the
odium which had been fast
ened Oh it by it's UNPUBLISHED
crimes. Mr.. Rawson, for the prisoner.
pleaded in favor of the possibility of
Holong not being of sound mind and
urged, not an acquittal. but no more
severe verdict than murder IN the
second degree. Judge Baxter gave the
law to the jury and told them premedi-
tation did not have to exist even mo-
ment in the mind of the person COM
hitting the crime. The jury was out
ten minutes and took but two ballots:
first on the question: ''Guilty or not
guilty?" the second on the question:
First or second degree?" Both were
unanimous and the verdict brought in
was that of murder in the first degree.

His Visit to Ottawa Had No In

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, On, April 13.-A tele-
Sram to the Sun from Ottawa says the
government caucus has just adjourned.
1t was learned definitely that the
terms with the Canadian Pacific rail-
road was the only matter considered.
As announced by Sir John, the terms
are as follows: The government agrees
to guarantee interest only to the amount
of 81 per cent on S15,0OO,000 for fifty
years. The security offered is the
entire remaining land grant now held
by the company, amounting to about
100000 acres; also about S1,500,000
now due by the purchasers. Additional
security is between $500, 900 and $780,,
600 now paid by the government to the
company for carrying mails, and other
subsidies for ocean mails, in all amount
ing to 100000, and the yearly
amount of interest will be 100000.
Lands are to be administered by trus-
tees, one of whom will be member of
the government. The statement was
made in the caucus that the credit of
the settlement was due to the eXertiOnS
of Greenway and Martin, but that the
negotiations had commenced at the in
stance of the Manitoba and Northwest
members before they came, and that the
terms of settlement so fixed upon has
not varied one iota because of the mis-
sion of GreenWay and Martin.

VERNDALE, Mimi, April 13.-Last
night witnessed as foul deed as ever
occurred in Verndale. A German by
the name of August Kanke, living a
few miles south of Aldrich, was seized
by two men, taken to the outskirts of
our village, pounded very severely,
robbed and probably left for dead. He
identified the men who robbed him, and
although they Immediately left town
the officers are on their track. A visit
to the place of the crime proves quite
conclusively how it was accomplished.
The tracks of the three men, some OF
the articles belonging to the injured
man and several spots of blood are all
plainly visible. The victim of this out
rageous assault after time got up and
commenced wandering around in
dazed condition. He went to the resi-
dence Of one of our prominent citizens
and made an attempt to get into the
house. From his actions he was taken
for robber, and after making the third
attempt in the space of two hours to
gain admittance, he was shot by the
resident with a charge of bird shot,
taking effect in the left arm and in the
side, in the region of the heart. He
now lies in stupor. The doctors say
it is doubtful if he RECEIVERS from the
effects of the wound.

THE LAWYERS BATTLE.

Snecial to the Globe

On Cross Examination Billings
Shows Great Adroitness.
Special to the Globe.
WAvERLY, To-. April 13.-Most Of
to-day in the Billings murder trial has
been devoted to the cross-eXamination
of the defendant. Great skill and
adroitness have been displayed by the
lawyers for the prosecution in laying
snares and pitfalls for the defendant to
break down his story OF the alleged
improper relations between his
wife and Kingsley. The COM
munity has never taken stock
in these allegations, and after hearing
Billings testimony to-day we believe
they will find nothing in that to change
their minds. Nothing has been devel-
Oped so far to strengthen the case of the
defense or materially weaken the case
against the prisoner at the bar. The
ridiculous is always interviewer with
the serious, and the court is frequently
rapping for "order" after some sharp
sally by the counsel on either side,
or at the ease with which
the prisoner, in boy parlance, ''skins
the cat" and escapes from some corner
into which he has for the time been
driven. When we reflect that Billings
has been upon the stand since We'd
nesday afternoon, and under rafting
crOSS-tire all day to-day, it must be ad-
mitted that he is wonderfully clever. Ut
course, his long practice as lawyer
and superb memory are of invaluable
assistance to him in the present emer-
gency, and he will probably be on the
stand a greater part of tomorrow.

HAPPY BOB HUNG.
His Last Hours Spent in Prayer
and Reading His Bible.

WARSAW, N. Y, April 13.-Robert
Vau Brunt was hanged in Warsaw jail
yard this morning. Van Brunt did not
go to sleep until after o'clock this
morning and awakened shortly before
6. He spent much of the night in prayer
and reaying his Bible. Eva Roe unex
pectedly arrived from Albany this morn
ing and at 6 o'clock called at the jail
but was refused admittance. The read
ing of the death warrant was omitted,
and few minutes after 10 O'Clock Van
Brunt walked firmly to the
around his neck, and when
all was ready, the drop fell. The body
was cut down in fourteen minutes. The
crime for which Happy Bob" Van
Brunt was hanged, was the murder of
the half brother of his sweetheart, Eva
Roe. "Habby Bob" was a prominent
member of the Salvation army, and for
some time previous to the murder,
which occurred on the evening of Oct.
6, 1886. he had been counting Eva Roe.
Will ENJOY objected to his attentions to
his half sister, and had tried many times
to persuade her to break with "Happy
Bob" but without effect. On the even
ing of the crime, Van Brunt, who was
boarding with the Roes, retired to his
room, but later he heard talking in
low tone in the parlor, and believing the
voices to be those of Will and Eva, he
descended the stairs and found Eva in
her night dress engaged in conversation,
as he had surmised, with Will, the two
sitting in close proximity, and the re-
marks that were made so angered him
that he pulled his revolver from his hip
pocket and fired the fatal shot. Coolly
returning to his room, he informed Fred
that he had shot his brother and making
no effort to escape, willingly gave him
self up. He was placed under arrest
and at the next term of court was in
dicted for murder in the first degree.
His trial came off at an adjourned term
of court in February, 1887. The main
evidence against him was that of Eva
Roe. He was convicted and sentenced
to be hanged April Is, 1887, but by APP
peals to the general term and the court
of appeals, the date of execution was
postponed until to-day.

Ever since the governor fixed the day
for Holong's execution the visitors to
( the jail have increased in number. and
for the last two or three weeks there
have been perfect swarms of them. The
sheriff has not felt justified in excluding
them SO long as the prisoner seemed
glad to have them come. On Wednes-
day, however, Holong said he did not
want to see any more people, and Sher-
if Brandenburg at once closed the doors
to all corners except the clergymen and
physicians, but he courteously permitted
the GLOBE reporter to enter the jail

Dies MONIES, To-. April 13.-An even
ing paper here published sensational
charge that Edward Ii. Hunter, eX-
treasurer of Adams county, and
present chairman of the Democratic
state central committee. was short in
his accounts as treasurer to the amount
of $435, which the board of supervisors
had ordered him to pay over to the
county. Mr.. Hunter happened to be
in Des MOines to-day, and the matter
being called to his attention said: "All
there is to the matter is this: l was
for four years treasurer of Adams
county. / settled with the county
twice during each year, and at every
settlement accounted for every dollar.
Two months prior to my retirement
from Office there was committee OF
experts appointed by the board OF
supervisors to examine the books
of the different county Off
Gals. After a final examination
of my books as treasurer l accounted
for $1,000 more than was charged to me
by the experts. The board of super
viSors made final settlement with me
Jan. 20, 1888. ana discharged myself and
bondsmen. The claim now made against
me grows out of these facts. Shortly
after entered upon my office the COM
pany made a contract with me for the
collection of any and all of the Adams
company delinquent personal taxes,
which had then accumulated to the
amount of about $4,000. Under that
contract | acted throughout my term,
employed assistants and incurred other
large expenses to push the collection OF
such taxes, believing that the contract
was applicable to all personal taxes that
were delinquent>during my term. Now
the board of supervisors claim that the
contract had reference only to personal
taxes that were delinquent where it was
entered into. The sole question be-
tween the county and myself is upon
the Interpretation of that contract. l
believe | am right, and have always
acted i'll that view. shall by all means
within my power at the proper time en-
deavOr to facilitate settlement of the
matter-it only being difference of
