Herman Bernieke's Story of a Chase
After His Runaway Wife
HALFWAY ROUND THE GLOBE
Boomers and Soldiers Meet in Okla.
h0ma and Fight Ensues---A Young
Girl Observation-Disclosures.

CHICAGO, March 19.-Herman Ber-
nicke was arraigned in a police court
this morning charged with burglary,
having been caught in the act of steal
Ing a box of carpenters tools. To the
magistrate he told the following story,
which he declared to be as true as Cos
pei: Thirteen years ago l left Ger
many for South Australia. l had
good wife and five as pretty children as
ever man was blessed with. | had
some money, and put it into sheep
ranch. and was very successful, and in
any in my county, and was worth
not far from $4,000. 1t seemed that I
was too happy and it could not last.
The first misfortune that came to me
was the loss of three of my children,
who died within a month. of the Aus
tralian fever. The blow had hardly
fallen, it seemed, before the other two
were taken from me in the same way"
The wanderer stopped short in his mar
ratlye and wiped the tears from his
eyes. "Ah, judge" he began again,
that is not half With the loss of my
darlings went my wife's love. She be-
gan to hate me, and 1 began to go
crazy, l believe. One day L woke up
gone, but not dead. Worse than that,
she had eloped with man whom
thought to be my dearest friend on
earth. l was driven to desperation. I
sold my farm at sacrifice and started
in pursuit, hired detective, and we
tracked them to San Francisco. The
rest of the story is not worth much, for
l have not caught them yet. I
hunted them from town to town, lost
the trail, almost had them at Van
cOuyer, but they slipped away. At
Boise City, Idaho. l was compelled to
dismiss my detective as my money was
running low. From there l followed
the guilty pair through Montana into
Dakota and down to st. Paul. was on
the point of arreSting them there, when
they slipped away, having bribed the
officer who was after them. and, as I
thought, came to Chicago. In this, how
ever, L was mistaken, as they went to
st. Louis. When got here was PEN
niless. and it was to get money to con-
tinue the pursuit that | stole the tools.
l would have cOrnered them in st.
Louis, judge. as friend of mine had
them well located, but l suppose every
thing is all up now, and / will give up
the chase. Pm ruined, and guess l am
nearly mad"
The court thought it would be
mercy to send the man to the Bridewell,
as he seemed to be on the verge of col.
lapse. He fined Bernicke S., and the
Australians chase ended.

great body Of consumers will be bene-
flied by the reduction in the price of
the metal which will come with the re-
turn of competition. The American
producers are no worse off than they
were before the formation of the trust.
Notwithstanding the reduction in prices,
the producers will now be enabled to
create better trade: and thus even in its
financial and business aspects the great
failure will prove benefit to this cOun-
try. But the greatest benefit of all
will be the moral derived from the col
lapse of this gigantic combine and the
healthy effect it will have in giving a
setback to the trust movement in this
country. The natural laws of trade and
commerce will assert their power in
spite of all combinations to defeat them,
and the sooner our American capitalists
have this truth impressed upon their
minds, the better will it be for all cur

A BRUSH WITH BOOMERS.
Settlers and Soldiers Meet, and
the Result Is Painful

the Result Is Painful.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March ia special
from Wichita, Kan, says that the Okla.
homa boomers, having fled to the woods
upon the appearance of Lieut.. Carson
and his body of soldiers, scouts were
sent out to hunt them down, but in-
structed not to resort to violence. In
what is known as the Crutch country,
northeast of Oklahoma station, quite a
large number of boomers had
gathered around William Peck.
Among the number were his daughter,
man named William Adams. Their
property had been destroyed in a for
mer raid, and they cherished bitter
animOSity against the troops. Their
hiding place was discovered by an In
dian scout and reported to Lieut.. Car
son, who sent detachment after them.
AS soon as the boomers saw the troops
coming they made preparations to
stand their ground and protect them
selves. When surrounded and called
upon to surrender, they began parley-
ing and made threats which eXaSper-
ated the soldiers, who charged the party,
but seeing the boomers were armed.and
having orders to avoid conflict, they
dlsmounted, and by an adroit movement
part of the boomers were relieved of
their arms. Anderson and Adams. how
ever, held out and made desperate re-
sistance with their guns. The former
received terrible blow from the butt
of revolver and the latter was struck
in the mouth. After being disarmed,
the boomers fought with clubs and
stones, but were soon compelled to sur
render. Several soldiers received slight
wounds, but none serious. There has
been great excitement among the BOOM
ers since the conflict, and while all ex-
press determination to make similar
resistance, they are seeking safer hiding

PORK PACKERS FAIL.
Charles III. North & Co, of Boston,
Make an Assignment.

Boston. March 19.-Charles Ii. North
& Co., 80 and 81 North Market street,
the second largest pork-packing firm
east of Chicago, made an assignment
tonight to President Shortwell, of the
Cambridge National bank, and Kenso
Taylor, their head bookkeeper. The
liabilities cannot yet be given, but will
probably reach $4,000. Mr.. North is
confident that if the business is prudently
managed the creditors will not only be
paid IN full, but there will be surplus
of at least 100000. The firm has done
business of S7.OOO.OOO or SS,0O0,O 900 a
year, principally on cash basis, but
has been obliged to put out considerable
pa per. Mr.. Shortwell, who is the prin-
cipal creditor, unexpectedly placed an
attachment on the property this after
noon, and it was deemed best for all
concerned to make the assignment. The
firm began business in 1868 as North.
Merriam & Co., but since 1882 has con-
sisted of Charles II. North and j. Henry
Shelton. The factory is at SomervIlle.

teen-year-old daughter of Frank PALM

of Stoekbridge, was returning home
from singing school with her younger

riage by an unknown man, who, after
feloniously assaulting the girl, made
his escape. Her brother defended her
as well as he could, breaking lantern
over the Villains head. The boy then
drove rapidly home and gave the alarm.
but no trace of the scoundrel has been
obtained. The affair causes great eX-

fore the assault on Miss Palmer was

attacked in nearly the same locality by,
presumably, the same man, but her
