Mason CITY, Ia, Oct. 15.-ISpecial Tele
gram to TUE BEE.l-The grand jury of
Wright county has put in Il solid weeks
work investigating the causes which led to
the death of George Diggle, occurring at
Clarion on the oath of last May. Mrs. Dig
gle was the leading actress in Ford's dra-
matte company, which was then travelling
through this section of the state. Diggle,
who was of a jealous disposition, ojected to
his wife longer appearing on the stage, and
on May left his home at Sioux Falls and met
the company at Clarion. After much per-
suasion the wife reluctantly said she would
quit the stage and go home with him. The
night before they were to leave she went to
one of the druggists Of the city and pur-
chased a large quantity of morphine, which
she said she had been in the habit of using.
Mr.. and Mrs. Diggle then went to their room
in the hotel, but were very shortly called
down to supper. Diggle had no more than
become seated when he said that he was so
dizzy he could not see. He was carried into
Il bed room, and in less than two hours he
was a corpse, TIL coroner's jury which in
vestigated the case returned a verdict that
he had come to his death by some cause not
known to them. A great deal of interest is
manifested in the case. Mrs. Digglc is u
charming and intelligent lady, about thirty
five years of age. She claims to be entirely
innocent of committing the crime. The
grand jury will not reach a conclusion until
the latter part of next week.

A Mysterious AFFAIR.

DIES MONIES, la. Oct. 13.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. The little town of Ute,
on the Sioux City branch of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, is in a terri
Bile state of excitement over u series Of out
RACES that have been perpetrated upon Lena
Chaplin, aged 20, daughter of one Of the most
influential families in the county. The case
is a parallel of the famous Emma Bond mys-
terry, of Taylorville, Ill.
Two weeks ago last Monday Miss Chaplin
was alone in the house of her uncle, Mr.. Ed
wards, two miles north of town. About noon
two men called and asked for dinner. They
came in to wait while something was being
prepared for them, and Immediately seized
Miss Chaplin, and, under penalty of death.
tried TO make her tell where her uncle kept
his money. Failing in this they took her to
an adjoining shed aud tied her in a crude
manner and left her gagged until she was
discovered several hours afterward, One
week ago Tuesday night an attempt was
made to abduct her when she stepped to the
back door. She was seized in the doorway by
the same two men and was being carried off
when she managed to give a half stitied
scream that brought the assistance of her
uncle and three hired men from the house.
Her abductors escaped without recognition.
Friday there was a stock and grain sale on
the Edwards farm. 1t is said that there
were oo men present, VINO were gwen a
| barbecue dinner. AT u O'Clock Miss Chaplin
started to return a basket of dishes borrowed
of u neighbor "A quarter of a mile away. I'm
mediately after leaving the house she was
| seized by the same men and carried nearly a
mile up the creek, where the scoundrels
shamefully abused her in their efforts to
make her tell where Edwards had put the
money and the notes of the days sale. Fail
ing, they gagged her and tied her to the roots
of a tree under the overhanging bank of a
creek. When she was missed and search
| commenced, the broken dishes and the foot
| prints of the men who had dragged her away
led to her discovery three hours afterwards.
The young 10 ~ is very intelligent and has
been teaching school for the past two years.
She is accomplished ana well educated. Her
uncle offers heavy rewards for the arrests.

The Rod, Dog and Gun.

George Ketchim took two first prizes at the
Dunlap shooting tourney last Thursday.
Judge Barnes, of Ponca, will probably ref
cree the Williams armalee pigeon shoot
next Thursday afternoon.
THE BEE next Sunday will contain IA re
view of j. Bruce WelllngtOn's recent elabo-
rate work on wild fowl shooting. 1t is a
handsome volume and replcte with reliable
information concerning all the details of this
greatest of field sports.
Some good baskets of black bass and pick
erel have been taken at Cutoff lake during
the past week, but owing to the extensive
netting that is unlawfully prosecuted at
these waters, sport with line and lot here
will be of but short continuance.
The annual hunt of the Omaha Gun celb
has been set for the 23rd, one week fcm
next Tuesday. There is much rivalry
cvinced by the two sides and great efforts
will be made by each member to make Il big
bag. Some will go for geese, others ducks,
antelope, chicken, quail aud jack snipe. The
banquet at the Mlllard is to be an elaborate
affair. rE
The continued mild weather has been a
disappointment to the wild fowl shooters, as
the ducks and geese have failed - put in an
appearance in any considerable numbers
They will be along, though, plenty enough
within the next ten days. Already scatter
an occasional red head, are beginning
to drop in at the lakes and
marshes, and u cold snap is all that
is necessary to bring them by thousands.
rhe hank of the wild goose, too, is heard
every night and morning, but owing to the
low waters along the Platte, the prospects
for these noble birds are not first class. How
ever, a little wet weather III the mountains
will set the river booming, and shooting may
vet be good.

Nick Wallace, a colored man about forty
five years of age, an old timer in the police
court who always had a long speech for the
Judge, died last evening at 1870. Nick was a
chronic ''vag,' and his face was familiar
IN police quarters. His argument was even
for the colored man, and his name will be
missed from the docket in the future.
In the case of Winstanley VS.. Storz & Her

of last evening, THE BEE is informed that the
firm of Storz & Her have no interest in the
matter, and that they, as a matter of fact
have not been sued, and no judgment has
been rendered against them. The real de
PENDANT in the case was Albert Meyer, ant

A CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
The Bodies of Five Infants Found In
"a SOaD Box.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia CHASTITY discovery
was made by a couple Of boys in a deserted
brick yard at the corner of ~Thirty-third and
Laurel streets this afternoon. They found
an old soap box4and opened it. Tn dead and
decomposed bodies Of five babies lay side by
side within. The Thirty-ffth street station
was notified and the remains sent TO the
morgue. The bodies were examined and
found to be badly decomposed. Two We're
males and the other three females. One of
the males and one of the females appeared to
have lived about two weeks, while the others
had died shortly after birth. A cursory ex-
animation revealed a seeming fracture of the
k in two of the cases, but those were the
only marks of violence discovered. The ba-
bies had probably been dead for about ten
days. ha'9'
No officers have been assigned to work up
the case, the reason gwen being that there
are none to spare, the strike neaessitating
the temporary Abandonment Of all detective
work. The police of the Thirty fifth street
district are Of the opinion that the bodies
came from some "baby FARM or some lying
in hospital. None of these are known to
exist in the vicinity, and it Is believed that
the soap box was carried to the brick yard
from a distance with a pile Of refuse, a con
siderable amount OF which has been deposited
there.

NoBoDY TO BLAME.
An Accident That Nobody Knows
ANYTHING About,

A serious and possibly fatal accident oc-
Cured ut the Burlington depot yesterday af-
~ternoon, and the profit and loss account Of
the company has TO be charged, with two
men injured, one engine disabled, one coach
damaged and one express office demolished.
About 4!l0 switch engine l06 was backing up
baggage car, the pay car, and the private car
OF General Manager Holdredge, aud placing
them on a sido track that ended close against
the express Office of Wells, Fargo & Co.
When about Eighth street, there was o break
in the machinery, a rush of steam, and an en-.
gineer and fireman jumping from the CAP,
while the train left TO itself reached the END
of the track and crashed into the express Of
hco burying Charlie Spenser, day check
clerk, George Taft, depot agent, and g.
A. Goldsmith, bill clerk, in
the ruins. The entire end OF
the Office was crushed In, the heavy iron safe
tossed to one side with the door wrenched
from the hinges, and the flooring and parti-
tons ground into match wood. Spencer was
found beneath the car with q broken leg and
a badly crushed chest. Taft was suffering
from internal injuries, and Goldsmith had a
knocked down by the car and thrown almost
under IL.
Inquiry among the Burlington officials led
to the fact that not one of them knew the
name of the engineer or fireman, that not one
of them knew how long he had been en-
ployed by the company, not one OF them
knew positively whether he was competent
or not, not one of them knew that an official
report had been sent in, or that there was
anything in it for publication, but all OF them
knew it was an accident in which no blame
could be attached to anyone. One version
of the affair was that the "boilcr head plug"
had blown out and the escapidg steam had
forced the engineer and fireman from the cab.
Another was that the quadrant stud" had
blown out with the same effect, and q third
was that the water glass had burst. Enquiry
on the side showed that the engineer was
named Charlie Sewer, and that he was but
little more than a month in the service. Some
bystanders who claimed to have seen the
whole affair say that when the steam filled
the cab he lost his head, and instead of re-
I versing the engine, as he attempted TO do, he
pulled her wide open on the back motion and
sent the train with increased speed into the
! express office. They also state that even II
the plug ''stud," or water glass had
blown out, there was no necessity for him to
leave the cab, as there was no chance for him
| to be scalded, and accidents of the kind are
of common occurrence and easily overcome.

General Sporting News.

The bets of $50 to $50 that Harrison will be
elected, and that New York will go republi-
can are still posted on the board at the Turf
and Field pool room, with no takers. The
alleged calling Of the bluff by jeff McGeath
and a friend, Is one of the ludicrous breaks
Of the campaign. Who ever heard of a
gambler entering a pool room and ffering to
take the management's proposition, provided
he put the stakes up with some reliable bank.
Pool rooms, the country over, make
their bets to win, and make their
propositions partially for the advertising
there is in them. If the bets are taken the
room holds the stake, and win or lose deducts
their legitimate per cent. JEFF McGeath, Jim
Crawford or no one else is compelled to take
any of these bets, but il they do their money
will be deposited in the pool room. Step up
gentlemen, the bets are still open to you.
Don't want 'em; well, that's sensible.

The Chicago Meeting.

Manager Selce will be in Chicago and rep
resent the Omaha ball club in the meeting of
the Western association to be held at the
Palmer house tomorrow at 2 o'clock. Why
the cities of this association should go chas-
ing about Chicago in the arran gements of
her affairs for another season is something
hard to understand. Chicago will not be in
the Western association next year under any
circumstances, and it seems that there ought
to be baseball brains and gumption enough
in St. Paul, Omaha, Des Moines and the
other western cities that will comprise the
circuit another season, to manage their own
affairs, without consulting foreign wiseacres
who can only have personal ends in view.
