HELENA, Mont, Aug. aO.-A Gold
Creek, Mont, special to the Independ-
ent says: James McGurren. a rancher,
was shot and killed this morning by
Philip Allen, miner and stock owner.
The latter claimed that the former had
branded some of his cattle last fall.
Allen accused McGurren, who denied
it, when Allen shot him dead with a
rifle and galloped away from in front of
the saloon where the murder occurred,
and took to the hills. He is about seventy
years old, and has wife in Pioneer.
He has lived here twenty years, and is
accused of another murder. McGurren
was fifty-five years of age, and had lived
here twenty years, and had just re-
turned from Deer Lodge hospital. where
he was treated for a kick by horse.
He was well-to-do and much respected.
His body will be embalmed and buried
here until fall, when it will be eXhumed
and taken to Canada. The sheriff aud

A QUEER CONTRACT.
A German Girl Treats Her Lover
Strangely.


Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, Aug. 3O.-A suit was COM
menced in the municipal court to-day
which brought out a strange story of
unrequited love, in which Johann
Likorski figures as plaintiff and chief
mourner. Johann is a Prussian, who
has been in this country less than a
year. In November, 1887, while still in
the old country, he wooed fair damsel
wearing the euphonious name Of
Augustine Prondzinski, but Johann's
pocketbOok was slender and Augustine
promised to remain true while her
knight errant amassed enough money
in America to pay her passage over.
So Johann came over the water and
worked and saved and corresponded
with his betrothed until it was agreed
that he should send the sum of
Sl02 to Prussia to pay Augustina's
passage to WinOna. A contract was
drawn up here, however, by the shrewd
prospective groom, stipulating that in
consideration of the passage money
Augustine was to become his bride
upon her arrival here. The girl in far
away Prussia signed the contract and
came to America only to turn the cold
shoulder to Johann, who in vain urged
the fulfillment of the contract. In April
last he asked for her hand the last time,
and to-day, weary of waiting, he brought
suit to recover the cost of her passage,
which Augustine has steadily refused
to DaV.

FARGO, Oak, Aug. 3O.-Sheriff
Wright, of Howard county, Indiana, has
been in Fargo the past few days in
search of man named Thomas Ruse,
charged with the murder of one Perkins,
OF that county, last April. Wright was
accompanied by Sheriff Barnes. They
drove to Grandin, whence information
had been received that their man was
working there under the assumed name
of l.. II. Hook. but found that the man
had left there short time previous for
Hillsboro; proceeding to that village,
they found that man answering to the
name ofHock was working on farm near
there. Sheriff Wright produced pho
tograph of RuSe, which was readily
recognized by farmer as Hook. 1t
was then late at night, and they learned
that the fugitive was asleep in the
barn.. Sheriff Barnes found the town
marshal and veterinary surgeon, and
about o'clock this morning arranged
with the latter to go and arouSd RuSe and
gain admittance to the barn, Ostensibly
to give medicine to sick horse.
While the two were in the stable with
the horse Sheriff Barnes suddenly
OiioSl Co3SIOoCly lOiiOWSO DN bllc uldI Slldl,
and easily captured and handcuffed
the fellow. He made no resistance,
and only inquired what it meant. After
securing him the officers led him out
of the barn, when Sheriff Wright ap-
peared on the scene and was at once
recognized by the prisoner. Ruse then
confessed the killing and said he was
glad he had committed the crime.
Sheriffs Barnes and Wright brought
him to Fargo this morning and lodged
him in the county Jail, where he will re-
main until requisition papers can be
secured for his removal to Indiana.

Of Gilman) open their headquarters at
the Merchants hotel and make their
final preparation for next Wednesdays
battle.
The political sky above them is not so
obscured but what it can be foretold
that the Scheffer canvass is very near
the end of its rope, and that the contest
is setting down to tug between McGill
and Merriam, with Gilman ready to
help whichever helps him.
AS between McGill aud Merriam, the
question of which is the strongest de-
pends upon just how honest the dele
gates are vino assemble here next week
to represent the Republican party.
If they represent their own persona
interests and that commercial spirit
which is only too conspicous at the pres
ent time in Republican circles, Mr.. Mer-
riam will be nominated.
If ON the other hand their party is up
permost and they prefer enduring
machine" to barrel" McGill will be
nominated.
The chances for a dark horse succeed
ing may brighten, bat just now they are
very slim.

SCHEFFER'S GRIP.
AS 1t Is and as 1t May Be Some
Time in the Future.

Without paying attention to the Wig
orouS lying being done for Merriam by
his organs, it is true that of all the
delegates elected to date to the state
convention, Scheffer has a majority.
The number which the GLOBE has
given him day by day is within three or
TOUR of the exact number from whom he
has received positive assurance and
pledges as to their support.
His lead so early in the battle is easily
explained by the-fact that the counties
tirst to choose delegates have been those
ssvhere tine Farmers alliance is strong.
Add to these Ramsey and his strength
is given.
But only twenty eight counties of the
eighty in the state have held cOnven-
tons, and of those that have not twenty
two elect delegates next Saturday.
These counties will materially change
the state of affairs as now existing.
Scheffer has very little to hope for
from them; at least on the first ballot.
Their strength will be divided be-
tween Merriam and McGill, with a few
votes for Gilman.
Southern Minnesota does not want
Schetfer, and the high license centerS
in it are solidly against him.
He cannot touch WinOna nor Rice nor
Blue Earth-keystone counties of those
sections.
What is the result? Much as the
well-wisherS of Mr.. Scheffer may desire
it to be otherwise. the end can be but
one thing. Having placed himself be-
tween the devil and the deep sea, he
will fall into the clutches of one or the
other.
To the state convention 157 delegates
have been elected, leaving 293 yet to be
chosen.
OF the last number Mr.. Scheffer hopes
to get Hennepin, OF at least to divide
that delegation.
Supposing that he divides it (Which
would be great victory, he would still
lack one-fourth of the total number of
votes to be in the convention.
At the most no careful student of the
situation can discover for him more
than 125 votes in the convention, num-
Der too small to be of any benefit to
him. unless contingencies arise SO re-
mote now as to be almost impossible.
There is no doubt in the minds of any
sincere Republican or candid Democrat
but that Scheffer'S canvass has been
the purest and most honorable of them
all.
But like all honorable things that ap-
proach the Republican party just at
present, he is not wanted.
In all justice to the Scheffer claims,
to allow him 125 votes on the first ballot
is treating him very fairly.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. IL knew
Hon. Mark III. Dunnell during his con-

man, of Indiana. chairman of house
committee on public lands, this morn
ing. she was man whose record was
always made up on the side of
corporations, as :! remember it; [
know he was in faver of land
grants, and he was always one of the
foremost of the Republicans whom had
to combat. He made frequent speeches
in favor of land grants and voted that
way, too. During his service in the
house, the Republican party was contin-
ually giving away millions of acres of
the public domain to corporations, many
of them existent only upon paper. Ev
cry railroad that was organized for the
purpose of constructing new lines, no
matter what its actual merit or demerit,
received Republican support. Mr..

many great empires of Western land
given away and have always opposed
such bills. Hence it has become my
misfortune to become suspicious of all
bills of that nature which are intro
duced into this house. l do not know
that Mr.. Dunnell was worse than the
others in his party-I mean the other
leaders of his party. He was an able
speaker and always stood up and
pleaded the cause of corporations when
ever they came here and asked for
large slices of valuable lands. That is
my recollection. 1t may be that L

within the bounds of reason to say 'usu-
ally he was acting in that manner with
his party as spokesman and champion
of those interests. l do not know how
many speeches he made nor how many
votes he cast for bills conveying the
peoples land to syndicates and corpor
ations. Memory gives me general
impression that he was always one of
the Republican leaders whom had to
combat in those days l do not say
these things now because Mr.. Dunrell
is candidate for congress, but you ask

POOR DUNNELL.
A Blast Given Him by the Pioneer

When Mr.. Dunnell reaches Kasson on
his stumping tour it is understood he
will read the following language from
the Pioneer Press of Feb. 2, 1884, and
then proceed to show that the leading
Republican paper of the state Of Min
neSOta is great liar:
He (Mr. Dunnell] has been the chief
supporter of the whisky interest, the
most notorious and shameless of the
lobbies that have besieged Washington
national capital, now that the people
have retired him from the seat to which
he clung so tenaciously, can be more
than conjectured. Mr.. Dunnell out
out of congress is a bird of
the same feather as Mr.. DunnelI
inside, and in either place he is fair
type of all that a politician ought not to
be. Whether there was or was not any
bribery in the Keifer-Boynton case, there
is no dissent about the fact that Dun
nell desired to be recognized for the
sake of the McGarrahan bill. The lion
may, or may not, have tempted the
jackal with an offer to divide fat car
cass, but nobody doubts that in either
taint of infection in the air, and his
eminence as carrion finder is the one
point of agreement in the whole dis
pute."
AND ANOTHER.
10 Wheelock's certificate of DunnelIs
fitness for Office may be referred to, and
now that Mr.. Dunnell has started out on
the stump it would be well for him first
to show wherein he has reformed since
Feb. 6, 1884.
On that day the following truthful
editorial language appeared in the
Pioneer Press-the leading paper in his
own party.
.If there is man in the state of
Minnesota unfit to hold any political
trust. that man is Mr.. Dunneil. A mar
plot and disorganizer, the type and rep
resentative of that most odious branch
of the machine which aims at nothing
but f-aggrandizement, fastened upon
the public service OF the state for a
series of years by unblushing use OF
the patronage at his command. and at
length rejected and cast out by the
voters Of his own district"
