The Tibbetts Case.

The case OF The State now on trial at
Chippewa Falls, Wis.,, vs. l.. j. Newald ana
Abe Goldenbery, or better known as the
Sadie Tibbetts case is one that has made
u considerable sensation here. Mrs.
Tbbetts told her story in a straightfor'
ward and clear manner at the preliminary
examination. which was not held until
some weeks alter the commission of the
crime. On the evening OF it's occurrence
she was going to the depot ut about
o'clock in the evening to take the train to
Eau Claire. While passing along one OF
the main business streets she was aceosted
by an unknown man. and before she could
pass she was seized from behind, her crles
smothered and dragged up stairs. Being
locked into room, she was repeatedly
assaulted by four men, only one
of whom she has identified. In the
morning she was allowed to go,
and when the proprietor Of the store
came he found her standing at the door
nearly frozen. Going into the store to get
warm, she told her story and was advised
to go to the police station and repeat it
there. A friend OF the assailants, and
former sheriff. was among the suspected,
but he empha teally denied the charge
but said that he paid the woman 81 so as
hush money in behalf OF his friends. Public
interest in the affair subsidized. but it was
renewed when it was learned that a few
were detained in Jail as witnesses. From
the story told by the Tibbetts 1T appears
that Newall persuaded them to come to
Chippewa Falls, for the purpose OF effect
ing IL settlement, and getting them ont OF
the country before the trial came on.
They were paid $500 and given a draft OF
S1,o0o but instead OF buying the draft
property Newald signed his own name,
and giving them this started man with
them 10 Portland, Or. A few days after
their arrival they asked the hotel
keeper to accompany them to the bank
to identify tkem He did so, but as soon
as the draft was presented twas seen that
it was worthless and explained to them.
On returning to the hotel they told the
whole story OF the crime and how they
had been trcked The landlord at once
telegraphed District Attorney Wall that
the Tihbetts were there. asking what he
should do with them. The district attor
ney had to his great surprise found that
the Tibbetts had lett the country and
was doing all in his power to trace
them, but when this piece OF news
but in some way the alleged assaiants
heard OF it. and when the Tibbetts were
on their way back they were watching the
Omaha depot to intercept them. But Mr..
Wall knowing this teegraphed them to
come from st. Paul by another road, and
thus landed them safely in Jail. Mrs. 1ib-
belts the victim OF the assault, Is a frall,
delicate woman, and about the size OF Il
twelye-year- old girl. She is only about
nineteen years OF age and was married
last September The defense will try to
break down her character, which is their
chief argument.

NJ. Faye, the astronomer, has drawn
the attention of the French Academy
of Sciences to the apparent geological
] W that the cooling of the terrestrial

sea than on the land surface. From
this he argues that the crust must
thicken under oceans at a more rapid
rate, so as to give rise to swelling up

of the crust; In other words, to the
formation Of mountain chains.

The Largest RegimcntaI Loss In
the War,

The official casualty list of the Con-
federate forces are not SO trustworthy
as those of the Union side because
they have not had the same careful
revision since the war closed, but the
tables now accessible, show that the
Northern aim was equally true, and
that the Northern nerve was equally
steady, The Goth North Carolina
Pettigrew's Brigade, Heth's Division
lost at Gettysburg Sc killed and 502*
*Inciuding mortalIy wounded. The official
report states that the regiment event in
(July y with over $40 men," sasssss
wounded; total, 50S, not including the
missing, of whom there were about
I20. In one company, 81 strong,
every man and officer was hit; and the
orderly sergeant who made out the list
did it with..a bullet through each leg.
This is by far the largest regimental
loss on each side during the war.-Col.

lar Army and Navy.
The society of Veterans of the Reg
ular Army and Navy desire to add to
the membership of the organization in
Chicago and elsewhere. They invite
all honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors OF the regular service to attend
their meetings and enroll themselves
as active members. Chicago has the
General William T. Sherman Com
mand, No. l, Division of Illinois, which
was named in honor of "Old Tecum-
seh." The command holds meetings
on the second and fourth Wednesday
evening of each month, in Grand Ar
my Hall, No. 167 Washington street.
'The Society of Veterans of the Reg
ular Army and Navy of the United
States is an organization for mutual
aid and protection; to bind together
in eternal unity all persons who have
served in and who have been honora-
bly, discharged from the regular army,
navy or maritime corps Of the United
States; to aid, protect and provide for
all members in sickness or distress; to
secure to each soldiers burial, and
to look after and aid the widows and
orphans of deceased members. It is
intended by organized effort to obtain
such laws as will secure to every hon
orably discharged soldier or sailor, or
if deceased to their heirs, warrant
for 160 acres of land; to equalize the
bounty laws so that the regular soldier
and sailor receives his just dues in
this respect, and to assist comrades in
such other ways as opportunity offers
and which must necessarily follow in
an organization looking solely to the
interest, welfare, comfort and happi-
ness of its members, who served under
the same flag and drank from the
same canteen."
This society has been formed nearly
three years, with headquarters in New
York City. Commands exist in New
York City, Brooklyn, Boston, Phila.
delphia, Washington and Chicago.

Our flag swung free from the old Kearsag,

Her steel guns fore and aft.
Fife and drum quick to quarters play,
Cheer the crew in the shroud>,

Sinks in the water helpless wreck!'

Drops her flag as the chain shot glide,,
And the heat of the combat is past.
Settles the hull OF the rover flag

Her bowsprit just like a treacherous snag

But the waves with her wreck to strew.

To cheat Of their laurals so fresh ant, green
