Grain Bill.

One of the most notorious "wood-
chucks' of the 'S3 session was what
was known as the Peterson grain
bill, and which was championed
by Loren Fletcher and all of the
Minneapolis grain buyers and mill men.
Fletcher was speaker of the house and
it was under his special care that the
bill was carefully considered in the
committee and finally presented to
the house. 1t had no sooner been
sprung than the secret was betrayed

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.-AleXan-

Jail few minutes after noon to-day for
the murder, on Nov. 10, 1886, of little
Mamie Kelly, schoolgirl fourteen
years of age, who had rejected his at
tentions. Goldensen, who was but
twenty years old, passed last night i'll
drinking, playing cards and singing
songs, and met his fate to-day with the
bravado which he has all along shown.
The case has excited more interest on
the coast than any murder that has oc-
Cured for years. Two attempts were
made to lynch Goldensen during the
two years which have elapsed since the
murder, but in both cases the police
succeeded in beating off the mob. A
determined and able legal fight has
been made for the prisoner, and it was
only yesterday that all hope was aban-
dOned.
