HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. "a The particu-
lars Of a case which is remarkable for a
husbands cruel persistence. and in which a
dentists part is none the less Objectionable,
has just been made known here. About ten
daysago Mary Sceiwig, who lives near Hall
fax, Pa, complained 10 her husband that
she was suffering with the tooth ache Sew
eral days passed, during which time she
only occasionally referred TO her extreme
suffering, when finally her husband impatu-
ouslY remarked that she had better 60 to the
dentists and have her teeth extracted.
Mrs. Scelwig was Of nervous tempera-
ment, and she hestated about going Her
husband became angry with her, and de-
clared that he would leave the house if she
did not stop complaining The wife then de-
termined 20 go 70 the dentists's, and after
much persuasion had been used hy her the
husband was induced 70 go with her, At the
dentists, before she got into the chair, the
woman almost tainted from nervousness,
which had the effect OF making the husband
quite irascible, but with the assistance OF the
dentist she was placed in the chair and the
man with his forceps commenced the work
Of extraction
Mrs Scolwig could uot take an auasthetic,
and when two or three Of her teeth had been
taken out she pulled violently to escape the
dentists operation. 1t was necessary 70 have
thirteen teeth removed, and the husband
determined not TO permit his wife IL
leave the chair until every one had
been taken out. 70 mako the work
easier for the dentist the husband held his
wifss head and arms 50 that she could not
move, and the work continued until ali the
teoth had been extracted. BY this time the
woman was exhausted and unable TO rise
from the chair. The two men realized that
she was in a dangerous condition, aud they
at once applied restoratives. A physician
was summoned and every effort was made u
revive the woman, but It was OF no avail.
and she died two hours later

A short time ago farmer of Marshall
county named Nelson wrote to Gov.
McGill complaining that the Indians OF
the Red Lake reservation had fashion
of roaming all over the country and an
nOying the settlers His letter con-
tanned threat to the effect that ''lf the
Indians didn't stay on their reservation
they would be shot down like dogs"
The governor thought it was case for
the United States to deal with, and re-
ferred the letter to Marshal Campbell,
asking him to give it thorough consider
alton. The marshal returned the letter
to the governor with a complete explain
alton of the state of affairs, and sug-
gested that the matter be placed i'll the
hands of either the cOudty attorney OF
Marshall county or Attorney General
Cl&pp. Marshal Campbell, referring to
the matter yesterday, said:
Il rather think the Indian
Is THE ABUSED PARTY.
ssOf course the settlers have rights
which must be recognized, and they
must be protected from Indians who
get full of whisky. The trouble is, that
Notwithstanding the extreme penalty
for selling whisky to Indians, there are
men who will continue to retail the
stuff to them, and we all know what the
Indians thirst for strong drink is. But
to shoot them down like dogs is very
poor way to remedy the evil. We want
to civilize the Indians, and that can't be
done by isolating them. We must al
low Indians some latitude, to go among
the whites and watch the customs of
the whites, if we want them to be-
come civilized. 1t is pretty high
handed for our people to talk
about shooting them down like dogs
There is considerable feeling between
some of the settlers and the Indians, and
l Isuppose some of those settlers who feel
that way think that all they have to do
is to kill Off the aborigines and thus set
tie their controversies"

Create a Sensation in the Business
Quarter.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
occupied by BOhrer & Smith as co p
mission house, located on the east side
of Robert. between Fourth and Fifth
streets, fell with loud crash, causing
an immense cloud of dust and dirt to
rise above the ruins. Of course there
was for few moments great
excitement, and people gathered
about the scene. 1t was quickly
aScertained that everybody got
out of the building before the accident,
and as soon as this was learned, people
scattered to their places of business and
took little interest in the matter. S.
B. Larpenteur, bookkeeper for he firm,
was first notified of the imminent dan
ger, by a quantity of glass and plaster
ing falling upon his books and papers
as he sat at work at his desk. He
looked up at the walls and saw the
cracks in the ceiling, and got out of the
office as quickly as possible. AS he
went out, he met MIR. Bohrer and told
him that the building was falling. Mr..
BOhrer, at first, was disposed to QueS-
ti0n the statement, but he had no time
to make a long argument, as Dlastering
ana pieces of stone were dropping
around in very ominouS manner.
Both gave the alarm to all In the back
part of the store and haStened
OUT THE FRONT WAY.
Those in the rear escaped by the rear
entrance. They had hardly got out of
the building before down the front half
of it came with tremendous crash.
The building was about thirty feet
front and little more than 100 feet in
depth, and faced west. On the south
of the building all excavation has been
made for new structure. TO this eX-
cavatiOn a good many attributed the
fall of the building. This does not
seem possible, as it fell away from the
excavation towards the northwest. The
building was erected by MeSsrS. Quinby
and HaIlowell. The foundation was put
in and completed in 1866, but the build
ing proper was not erected till the fol-
lowing year. 1867. 1t was occupied by
Messrs. Quinby & Hallowell as a car
riage factory from the latter year to the
fall of 1884, when they left, and it was
sold to Mrs. StOwell. who resides in the
East. Mr.. Quinby says that when the
building was erected the north wall
bulged out, and that the south wall
sagged in a little, but that the joists al
ways held the building together firmly
enough until now. Mr.. Bohrer esti-
mates that the value of the stock in the
store was about $1,000 or $4,000, and
it was insured against fire.

way of explanation when he shot him.
self about $40 yesterday morning. The
bullet pierced his head on the right
side, coming out little back of
the left ear. About twenty min
utes before Shields took his
life he was giving orders to two freight
trains at White Bear. lie called the
day operator up and went back to the
depot, walking with his hands careleSsly
behind his back. AS he entered the depot
he;l saluted Yardmaster1 Tucker pleas
antly, and then taking a bunch of keys
and pad of paper, he left the telegraph
Office. When the trains were ready to
start a search was made for the oper-
at0r to get the final orders. A brake
man looked through the window of the
baggage room and saw man lying on
the floor. The body proved to be that
of Shields, lying between some trunks,
and the blood still trickling from the
bullet hole in his head.
Coroner Quinn was notified, and the
body was taken to Mccarthy IL DON

thirty years of age, of medium height,
with dark hair and beard. A love affair
is thought to have been the cause of the
deed
