WHICH SHALL PAY?
Is the County or State Liable TO
Sheriff's Travelling Expenses

Is the County or State Liable for
Sheriff's Travelling Expenses?
Special to the GLOBE.
FERGUS FALLS, April 16.-Some time
ago the county commissioners cut down
bill from Sheriff Brandenburg for go
ing to Washington territory for two
criminals, he having charged mileage
fees in both cases, though he made only
one trip. His bill was over s., 900, and
he was allowed 1888. He appealed to
the district court. The county attorney
then discovered that the county is not
liable for the expenses in either case,
as, when the sheriff goes outside the
state with requisition, he becomes the
states agent. The case is peculiar
one. A Ramsey county decision holds
that the county is not liable. The
state appropriateS but $4,000 to
cover all such cases in the state.
The state says in the acquisitions that
''the sheriff is to go without expense to
the state" County warrants were due
Yesterday, and the county attorney, at
the instance of seven taxpayers, filed an
appeal from the boards action in allow
ing the 1888, SO the sheriff will have to
wait for decision from the court be-
fore he gets his fees. even in one case.
In case of an adverse decision it is
thought legislative act is the only way
to reimburse the sheriff. The principle
involved has not been decided before,
because the amounts have been small,
and allowed without objection. SheriffS
all over the state will be interested in
this case, as the decision will give them
basis for their future action in similar
cases.

MATRIMONIAL ENTERPRISE.
Bigamy, Mock Marriage and a
Broken-Hearted Girl.

BINGHAMToN, n. Y, April 16.-A
story of somewhat sensational character
has just been brought to light in this
city. Laura GRAMS, a seventeen-year-
old girl, came to this city short time
ago aud secured employment in fac
tory. She was bright and attractive,
and soon had several suitors. Among
the most ardent was John B. Smith,
who was several years her senior. He
succeeded in winning her affections, and
induced her to accompany him to Turk
hammock, Pa, where a marriage cere-
mOny was performed. The couple then
went to Nineveh, where they remained
several days with the girls parents.
Mr.. GRAMS became suspicious of his
sOn-in-law and instituted an investiga-
ton, which resulted in the discovery of
the fact that Smith had been twice be-
fore married, and that both his former
wives were living. Upon searching the
records at Tunkhannock, Grants
became convinced that the al
legged wedding was nothing more
than mock marriage, and that his
Returning to his home he ordered
Smith to leave the house and never at
tempt to see Laura again. That night
Smith waited for his opportunity, and
when he found Laura alone he pointed
a revolver at her head and compelled
her to leave her home with him. The
couple walked the entire distance of
twenty-four miles from Nineveh to this
city. Several times during the journey
Smith displayed a bottle believed to
contain poison, and swore he would
force her to swallow it if she attempted
to escape. When this city was reached
the girl was completely exhausted.
She was at once taken to house in the
outskirts, where she was kept concealed
for three days. There she was found
by detective, who had been employed
by her father. When the officer was
about to remove her Smith presented
revolver and declared he would shoot if
any attempt was made to separate him
and his wife. The detective dared
Smith to shoot, and departed with the
girl, who was restored to her father.
She is completely Frustrated by her
terrible experience. Smith cannot be

"A BunalO SpanlarO butchers His

BUFFALO, n. Y, April 16.-A fearful
tragedy was enacted about Z o'clock this
morning in the rear of 154 Seneca street,
a tenement occupied by Thomas Dom
inguez, Spaniard aged about thirty
eight, his wife Clarin, and their two
little children. DOminguez had been
out all night. On his return he at
tackled his wife with a razor. The house
consisted of four rooms, one being used
for a kitchen and sitting room, while
the other three were used as bedrooms.
From their appearance after the crime,
it would seem that fearful struggle
ensued between the husband and wife,
and that he must have attacked her al
most the moment he entered the kitchen
from the hall. The woman, it is thought,
was standing at the stove cooking break
fast, when he Sprang upon her with the
razor and gave the first blow. She
must have fought desperately, for her
head, arms and face were cut and
slashed in many places, but he finally
obtained the mastery and almost cut
her head from her body. The fiend
then dragged her down stairs and
threw her out upon the pavement in the
court, where she died. He then went
back into what might be called the
front bedroom, from where he could
see his wife lying below, almost swim
ming in her blood. Standing there, he,
with the same razor. cut his throat,
leaving hole into which man could
easily push both hands. and falling

Madison and Union squares. usually
after nightfall the brightest and gayest
localities in the city, were tonight in
gloom. Within the squares there was
no flicker of light, and the tramps upon
the park benches were less frequently
disturbed in slumber. Young people
filled the settees, and there were excur-
sions from distant parts of the city by
citizens curious to behold the results of
the first days work of the axes among
the wire poles. The only illumination
to these great plaZaS was from the lamps
in the side streets, where circuits had not
been cut Off. Gas jets flickered along
the trail of the road in Broadway, but
in the cross streets where the poles had
been cut there was absolute darkness
early in the night, so that in Four
teenth, Twenty-third and Forty second
streets pedestrians picked their way,
lighted only by the diffused glare in the
sky, against which the house tops broke
dark and jagged lines. Late at night
the moon rose, the dark streets were
lighted, and many who, in the electric
light, seldom know if the moon is
shining, tonight remarked that fact.
