Meeting Of Representative Republi-
cans of the State With the Union
League of Minneapolis.
4 State Convention to be Held ON
February I'd to Organize
q State League. 49,
Every Effort to be Put Forth to Or.
ganize Local Leagues Through
ont the State.
Fifteen Counties 1sepresente,,

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 18.-The spacious
rooms of the Union league were filled to
overflowing this morning. 1t was repre-
sentative republican gathering. Loren
Fletcher, T. p. Lane, A. Barto, Eugene
Hay, Robert Stratton, Capt. Fl. A. Castle,
Captain Reed of Glencoe, Hartley of Du-
luth and small party of others were there
and they all meant business. The meeting
was called to order by T. E. Byrnes. Hon.
Barto of Sauk Centre was unanimously
elected chairman. He said: Il love the
republican party for what it has done and
what it will do, because it is the friend of
progress everywhere and of human rights
always" S. l.. Trussell was elected secre-
tary, and he was instructed to call the roll
of counties to ascertain the representation
present. The following counties respond
ed: Blue Earth, Fillmore, Goodhue, Hen
nepin, Mcleod, Merrion, Morse. Nicollett.
Polk, Ramsey, Redwood, st. Louis, Stearns,
Washington and Wright.
Eugene Hay wanted it understood that
there was to be no mans candidacy behind
these clubs.
w. w. Hartley spoke on behalf of the
Young Mems Republican club of Duluth,
saying that they hoped to have 1000 mem
bers by spring. A committee of two for
each county on organization was then ap-
pointed and then the delegates lunched at
the West as guests of the Union league.
After lunch the committee Oh organiza
ton reported that they had decided upon
holding in Minneapolis on February 2,
1888, q state convention composed of dele
gates from all the local republican leagues
in Minnesota for the purpose of organizing
state league on the plan proposed Dy the
national league. In the interval every ef-
fort was to be put forth to organize local
leagues in all towns and districts of the
state.
Interviews with nearly 100 leading re-
publicans of the state now in this city
show strong feeling, especially in the
country districts, for some sort of tariff re-
form. Blaine is almost the only man
talked of for presidential candidate.

Train Robbers Captured.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19.-Train robbers were
foiled last night in an attempt to rob an
express train on the Wabash Western at
Cooley's Lake, twenty-four miles east of
Kansas City. Officers getting wind Of the
attempt, went out with the train and fired
on the robbers when they attempted to
stop it, badly woundlng one of the mis-
| creants. All were captured after lively
chase. SWEENEY is said to be dangerously
wounded. He has long record of crime
| in this state and is considered one of the
worst men in Missouriisince the days of
the Jesse James gang Of outlaws He was
member of that band of desperadoes. He
has been tried for killing two men, but in
some way got clear In one case he shot q
man sitting OH the fence Esjust to see him
drop" and in the other case he killed a man
OH Missouri Pacific train near Ninita
about five years ago. He recently served a
term OF two years in the penitentiary for
attempting to blackmail out of $4,000 the
late Col. A. A. Talmadge, general manager
OF the Wabash railroad. Thomas Furlong,
chief Of the secret service of the Missouri
Pacific says that SWEENEY is the meanest
and most despicable william that he ever
met. John King, who gave the gang away,
is young man of Missouri City and says
he was forced to join the band against his
will and gave the railroad officials infor-
nation OF the scheme two weeks ago. The
names Of the would-be robbers are John
&. Sweeney, the leader; John Hargrave.
Noah Drew and w. II. Harris From the
best information at hand at this writing
John King, who has figured all day Us the
informer is Noah Drew. The men have
| been taken to the Clay county jail at Lib
erty, the county seat Hargrave has made
full confession and will tell his story on
the witness stand next Wednesday, when
the men will have an examination. 1t is
not known here how badly SWEENEY is
wounded. but brief telegrams from Mis-
souri, City states that there is an intense
feeling against him at that place and that
| he will probably be lynched.

PERSECUTION.

When shown the above gossipy letter
from Washington last evening Judge Mac
Key and Mrs. Witherbee denounced the con.
tinual publication of these unwarranted
attacks in the newspapers Of the country as
the most cruel persecution. With refer
ence the statement that he had deserted his
wife Judge Mackey stated that for several
years he and his wife had lived apart un-
der articles of separation and that he
regretted deeply that the matter had been
dragged into the case The charges in the
Washington communication were emphat-
ically denied by Mrs. Witherbee and proof
Of their falsity was given in the form of
letters and extracts from newspapers
The statement that Mrs. Witherbee went
to Europe with Mr.. Borden or that her re.
lations with him in New York were i'm
proper was refuted by letter from Nine,
Cappiani which appeared in the Elgin
paper, announcing that Mrs. Witherbee
then Miss Dunlap) was at her home, un-
ger her instruction, progressing nicely in
her musical studies and behaving herself
in modest and ladylike manner. In com
menting OIL the articles which appear
against Mrs. Witherbee, Judge Mackey
called attention to the lady's conduct while

vincing refutatiOn of the charges.
OF her character in Eigin, ILL.,, many
proofs OF her good standing were presented,
among them being a handsome gold watch
and chain which were presented by hun
dred citizens, headed by the mayor. Upon
the watch is the inscription "Nettie NJ
Dunlap, From her Elgin friends, August
y, 1882" The gift was a token Of gratitude
for services rendered in singing in the
cause OF charity, and the Elgin News and
the Courier published this fact on the fol-
lowing day. AS a further evidence of tile
esteem in which she was held, it was shown
that in the calendar Of memorable events
the date upon which Nettie Dunlap left
Elgin for New York is recorded.

Judge Mackey and Mrs. Wltherbee will

intention to stop in Chicago to institute
proceedings for libel against the Chicago
Tribune. They will return to Bismarck

EDITOR BISMARCK TRIBUNE: In re-

did not.

vitation, alluded to the Dakota system

proud of their good work and Of DakOta's
schools. They and the intelligence of her
people are her crown of glory.
The school law presented by me was not
passed without being read. 1t was read
line by line for days, even weeks, by able
committees of the house. BY them and by
the house it was amended. in some respects

their unfortunate mistake in substituting
1 old sheets for new or amended ones, all by

defects occurred in the law.

HE MARHIED FIVE.
Young Mans Vow to Marry Twenty
five Wives

ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 18.-Ben Burton of
Atlanta has up to two or three days ago
borne splendid reputation. Several days
ago he was arrested for bigamy, which has
proven to be polygamy. Since then ne has
escaped. 1t now leaks out that Burton
registered a vow that he would have twen-
ty-five wives by the time he was twenty
five years old. This VOW was made on the
day he attained his majority He is only
twenty-five years old, and has, according
to accounts, married five of the wives al
ready, while it is thought that all the re-
turns are not in yet
His five victims are Miss Lula Robinson
of Eastey, S. c., who has one child, girl;
Miss Eola Conklin of Banks county, Ga,
who also has one baby, a girl; Miss Tai
lulah Hall OF Oleo, SC. with whom lie
him; Mrs. Thompson of Gainesville, Ga,
who has a souvenir of Burton in the person
OF little girl, and Miss Wilson of Atlanta.
The latter lady has no child, and believes
Burton much abused man.
Besides these five women it is stated that
in Atlanta by the name of Sussie Cherry,
failed to make good his promise. lie was
living with both her and Miss Wilson at
the same time, and they lived within
hundred PAGES of each other, neither
knowing of his relations with the other.
Finally he ran away with another Atlanta
girl named Fannie Clarke, but was caught
before he succeeded in marrying her.
1t was strange sight, and in some
respects pitiable one, to see the five wives
as they sat in the courtroom, each of the
four first named holding her little girl by
the hand waiting to see the man who had
deceived them punished. When they found
out that he had escaped they arose en-
masse and left the court in high dudgeon,
all except Miss Wilson saying they would
make it their special business to find and
punish him if the law could not do it.
