five years had responsible position

considered quite a Sunday school boy.
He was married about five years
ago, his wife being somewhat older than
himself. For three years past Miss
Pearl has made her home with her sister.
as she had no other. About a month
ago the wife caught her husband kiss
ing Miss Pearl. but he assured her it was
only true brOtherly affection he had
for her sister, so the matter was patched
up by the sister returning to her former
country home with her guardian. Last
Thursday Mr. Peterman gave up his
keys to the store, as we'll as his position,
stating that he was going to Canada,
and left last night. To-day it is learned

THE CAUSE TRIVIAL,
But the Fight Kesulting Proved
Almost Fatal.

OwAToNNA, Dec. 20.-Friday night,
about 9 o'clock. while Dominick Schuly
and his son John were going to their
home in Clinton Falls township, they
were assaulted by two men by the name
of Priebe, who belabored them with clubs
very near killing the father. There
was on the father one wound above the
right temple, another on the left side of
the forehead, another on his left fore
arm that looked as if it had been cut
with knife, large bunch on the right
side of the back which plainly showed
the marks of the club. The boy
had deep cut on the
head, cut on the arm and
several bruises on the back. They were
arrested and brought before City Justice
Newsalt, and one of them was tried and
bound over to appear at the next gen
eral term of the district court, which
convenes next June. The affair grew
out of chopping down little tree in
the road by the father of the young
men

PAWNED HIS TEETH.
Something About a Man Who
Struck Depew for a Loan.

New YORK, Dec. 30.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew hobbies when he walks in Broad
way. His foot and ankle are still heav-
lily incased, so that they may get into
good shape again. Depew stuck his
leg into hole in the floor of his house,
where a plumber had carelessly left his
work, and the dislocatiOn at the
ankle has proved more bothersome
than clean break would have been.
AS Mr.. Depew stood chatting in front OF
a hotel a dilapidated man accOSted him.
The stranger looked like broken-dowh
hummer, and his clothes were sadly be-
draegled, but he was readily distinguish
able as not a tramp but as an example
of the forlOrn chap who has seen better
days. He called Depew by name and
was evidently an old acquaintance, but
he nevertheless had the auject air of
beggar as he asked for temporary
loan.
''This is my last spree, positively"
he said. ~ have sworn off for good
this time. Let me have 81 to buy some
thing to eat and l will be all straight
ened up in day or two"
While speaking he held one hand
over his mouth. after the manner COM
mon enough to supplicants who are
ashamed of themselves, but he was 50
careful about it that the action excited
curiosity. The explanation came.
"Pawned them again. eh?" said
Depew, as he gave the 81 to his un-
fortunate acquaintance.
Had to do it," was the reply as the
fellow shambled away.
II have known that man twenty
years." Depew exclaimed, land he is a
capable, well-behaved fellow most of
the time, but periodically his appetite
for drink gets the better of him; then he
becomes the unsightly hummer that you
have just seen. While on these de-
bauches he will spend ever cent that he
can obtain. and finally, as last and in
variable resort, he pawns his false teeth.
That is the climax. He has done it now,
and that was why he kept his hand over,
his mouth"

VERY FUNNY In MEXICO.
How Chihuahua Journalists Cele-
brated All InnocentS' Day.


Ell PAso, Tex, Dec. SO.-Newspapers
published in Chihuahua, Mex, Dec 2S,
and received here yesterday, contained
thrilling accounts of an alleged popish
uprising in the City of Mexico. The
story in brief was that the priests in the
City of Mexico. angered at the alleged
unfavorable attitude and policy of the
Diaz government towards the church,
headed an insurrection for the
purpose of overthrOwing the govern
ment, and won over to their side
$4,000 government troops; Ithat Presi-
dent Diaz led the royal troops against
the insurgents, and after a bloody
battle completely routed them, and
that 237 priests were Immediately shot
and about as many more condemned to
death. This CORY narrative purported
to have been received by the Chihuahua
papers by wire from the City of Mexico.
Upon investigation, lhe terrible tale
turns odt to be huge hoax, perpe-
trated by the chihuahua papers upon
their readers. Dec. % is All InnocentS'
day, and is celebrated in Mexico as April
l is in the United States. The brill
liant journalistic mind at Chihuahua
evolved the plan of manufacturing and
publishing dispatches, and the inno-
cents were duly deluded thereby. In
telligeDt Mexican citizens of Juarez
pronounce the Chihuahua performance
a silly and discreditable piece of work.
Moreover, the right of the press to man

in Mexico as in the United States, and

morning fire broke out in the base

entire west side of the street was
not burnt is due 10 the earnest
efforts of citizens, and especial men
ton must be made of A. S.

bravely at their post when others had
despaired. Macarthur is Judge of pro-

WHERE Is CLEMENTS?
No Clue TO the Whereabouts of
the Missing Fargoite.

FARGO, Oak. Dec. 30.-The continued
absence of Charles Il. Clements is still
shrouded in mystery. Some facts in
connection with his leaving, while not
throwing any light on the real
cause of his departure, have
tendency to confirm the impress
sion which is beginning TO form
in the minds of those who have Deen
closely identified with the case since
the contents of certain letters from him
have become known. Two letters were
received from him after his departure.
One was dated st. Paul and the other
Chicago. In one letter he said he had de
cided to visit Chicago, complained of a
severe headache, and also said he had
strong premonition that he should never
return to his family again, that some
thing serious was going to Overtake
him. With this preSentiment on his
mind he had taken out an accident pol
icy on his life. made payable to Mrs.
Clements, and enclosed it in a letter.
He also stated she would find money on
deposit
TO HER CREDIT
in the Red River Valley National bank,
that in case nothing more was heard of
him to dispose of the Fargo property,
cancel all his Indebtedness and remove
to Minneapolis. He spoke particularly
of giving the children good education.
After expressing his sorrow at parting
with his family, he closes with this
prayer for his two little girls:
"May God bless my two little
girls, as shall probably
never see them again" These two let
ters are all that the family have re-
ceived from him. Their contents were
kept within the limit of the family circle
until nearly week had elapsed after
their receipt. When they were made
known, measures were taken to
ascertain Mr.. Clements whereabouts,
but not the slightest trace can be
had of him notwithstanding the united
efforts of shrewd detectives, who were
at once placed in possession of all the
facts. The last seen of him was when
he took dinner with Charles White
house in Chicago. Dec. 10, and then ex-
pressed his intention of returning to
Fargo on the first train. Many rumored
causes are assigned for his action, but
nothing authentic.
