MORA, Minn., March IA mysteri-
Gus shooting affray occurred this after
noon at Brunswick, seven miles south
of here, at the house of Mrs. A. 9. Han
son, in which Mrs. Hanson and a
brother-in-iaw, Jacob Hanson, were
severely wounded. the woman fatally,
She was shot through both lungs and
the man through both legs. The shoot
ing is claimed to have been done by d
man named William Mating. The story
told by Mating is that he left
Mora this morning, intending to go
to Pine City and being acquainted with
the HanSOnS, who lived on the road, he
called in for short visit. While there
he said they began drinking some alco-
hol, which he had taken with him from
Mora. After time they became drunk,
especially Mating, andsa quarrel arose.
Mating said Jake Hanson Knocked him
dewn with stick of wood, and about
the same time the shooting occurred.
When he come to, he was accused of
the deed. Mating said he had no revol-
yer on his person, but was told that he
used one that was in the house lying on
the mantel. At any rate the
shooting uwas done, and Mating
has been arrested. There were present
in the house besides Mating and the two
wounded parties young man and
woman, son and daughter of Mrs. Han
son, who are the parties that accuse
Mating of the deed. The affair looks
at present very mysterious, anu Mating
looks as though he had been run
through thrashing machine. The
Hans0ns have bad reputation, and it
is thought that the shooting was done
by some of the family while Mating was
unconscious, and in order to clear them
selves they have accused him of the
deed. Tomorrow may give new light
on the case

successful breweries are being greatly
worried just now by overtures from
brokers who want options ON their busi-
ness in order to sell them to the great
English beer syndicate. In some cases
four OF five brokers pursue the same
brewer, making his life a burden.
.'There is nothing especially vicious in
this English beer syndicate" said a
Wall street man. ''In nearly every
case it offers more for brewery than it
is worth, simply because it knows that
it can float its stock with no difficulty
at all. The New York Breweries' COM
pany, the corporation that bought out
cries, issued securities to the
amount of $500, 900. These are
now selling at premium of fifteen, or
an increased gross value of S675, 900.
Of course the price paid to Clansen and
we'll as the breweries hand
some profit. l would advise any
brewer who is approached by the
syndicate, to sell out to it.
With half the money he gets
from it he can start in business again,
and with the advantages, too, of i'm
proved appliances. Breweries just now
have an advanced valuation. London
stock brokers are bound to have brew
cry stock to sell to their eager custom
ers. Some one is going to get stuck.
1t will not be the syndicate or the
bought-out brewer. It will be the
stock-buying public.

small portion of the inaugural visitors
yet remain in town. Nearly all the

have returned to their respective homes.
so a uniform was a race sight at the
White house to-day. The president dis
patched a little public business early
this morning, and at 9:3O came down
into the east room, prepared to undergo
the handshaking ordeal of yesterday and
the day before. Less than 1000 people
were waiting to be received. The inter-
state commerce commissioners, escort
ing a large delegation of railroad
officials, were the first to be presented.
Then the general public was
admitted, and the reception con-
tinued until 1915, when the presi-
dent went up stairs to receive personal
friends and prominent officials. Among
these latter were Attorney General Mil
ler, Senators Cullom, Farwell, Spooner,
Jones, of Arkansas: Hawley, Teller,
Stockbridge, Mcmillan, Dolph, Aldrich,
eX-pOStmaSter general of Hayes cabi-
net; Representative Henderson, of
Iowa, and Reed, of Maine. When the
president came into the East room again
at II :45, after having received several
senators and representatives, he found
more than 100 editors of negro news
papers, who are holding convention in
this city, waiting to see him. These, to-
gether with large delegation from
Michigan, headed by Gen. Byron M.
CutcheOn, and a Tennessee delegation,
were disposed of in three-quarCerS of an
hour. Then the wearied president went
to luncheon with ex-Goy. Porter, of
Indiana. At 2:05 he was again shaking
hands with a number of persons as
sembled in the East room. Five min
utes sufficed to dispose of them. Dur
the three-quarters of an hour interven-
atOrS and representatives were called.
Among them were Senators Sawyer,
Spooner, Sherman, Cameron and In

CHICAGO, March .7,-The Cincinnati
express. which came in on the Louis

evening. brought badly scared lot of
passengers. Two hours before reach
ing Chicago the train was fired upon by
an unknown man, who took deliberate
aim at the rear coach and sent two
loads of duck shot crashing through the
windows. Some of the passengers mar
rOwly escaped serious injury. The
shooting took place at 4:30 o'clock in
the afternoon. The train, an unuSu-
ally long one. was behind time, and
was running at high rate of speed,
not stopping at small stations. When
about mile south of Rose Lawn, lit
tie station in Indiana, fifty-six miles
from Chicago, the engineer noticed two
men standing near the track. One had
a dOuble-barreled shotgun. SuppOsing
that they were hunters he paid no es-
pecial attention to them. The men
stood motionlesS until the last coach
was abreast of them, when the man
with the gun leveled it and fired both
barrels. 1t made loud report and the
terrified passengers Sprang from their
seats as the shot crashed through the
windows and sent shower of broken
glass flying all over the car. For an in
slant they were almost paralyzed with
fear, but realizing what had happened,
some ran to the rear door and saw the
men still standing by the track, almost
hidden by a cloud of smoke. An instant
later the train sped around a
curve. One of the passengers
jerked the bell cord, but there
was so much slack that the gong in tn g
locomotive cab did not ring. The train
could not be stopped until passenger
ran ahead to the baggage car, where the
conductor was found. and by that time
several miles had been covered, and the
conductor would not run back. An eX-
animation of the car showed that the
last four windows on the left side were
smashed to atoms. The outside of the
car was riddled with shot, and hand
full of the missiles was picked up from
the car floor. Fragments of glass were

WARLfKE MEASURES.
The Union Pacific and Northern
Pacific Sending Armed Men to
Hold jefferson Pass.


Special to the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, March Last night
300 men left Butte for the Jefferson
canyon armed with Winchester rifles.
They were employees of the Union Pa
cific railroad, and were under the cap
taincy of man named Kenna, an EN-
ploye of the road. The men marched
at once to the scene Of disturbance.
They had tents and all camp
equipments, and their instructions
were to hold the canyon at all
hazards. A large number of Northern
Pacific men started from Helena for the
same place aad it seems certain that
there will be trouble. The cause of the
trouble is the possession of the canyon
by either of the railroads and it comes
about in this way: About five years
ago when the Union Pacific had got the
Utah Northern to Dillon and Butte it
surveyed a route through this canyon
as means of getting to Helena. 1t
was going to run from point called
Glen, this side of Dillon, and between
which place and Dillon there was con-
nection. The Union Pacific made a
survey. and spent $4,000 in grading a
road bed and doing other necessary
work preparatory to running the line to
Helena. About this time the Northern
Pacific came in and made an agreement
that the Northern Pacific would not go
to Butte and thereby compete with
the Union Pacific in that town,
if the Union Pacific would
not come to Helena and COM
pete with the Northern Pacific here.
A pool was fixed up to that effect
and held until recently, when the North
ern Paific determined to run to Butte
by way of Pipestone Pass. To do this
they would have to use the Oregon.
which is the only pass on that line of
survey. This they are seeking to do.
The Union Pacific. as soon as the North
ern Pacific receded from its agreement,
started at once to build its line from
Glendive to Helena, and its first step
was to seize the cars under its claimed
hitherto exiStinp rights
