Report that General Warren is to be the
Next Governor.

A report which spread like wildfire
reached Butte yesterday, that President
Harrison had decided to cut the Gordian
knot and solve the Montana gubeori-
toriaI puzzle, which has evidently worried
him, by tile appointment to the position
of General Charles 8. Warren of Butte. As
the story passed around there were more

would fall upon some gentleman on the
other side OF the range, but reflection led
them finally to think there might be some
thing in it. The east side had produced
too many candidates, each was too
anxious to secure the plumb and as a con-
sequence the conflict was irreconcilable,
and even after the Washington advices
indicated that the contest had narrowed
down to Hersch6eld aud M~cCutcheon, the
fight only become the more severe and
bitter especially in Helena, until it seemed
impossible to make the partizans of either
give in. Now comes the story of the War.

host OF rumors. The Republican
legislature that has just adjourned
were especially anxious to displace Cover

was lone speedily there might be some
mistake made. They got their heads to-
gether, aud after a vain attempt to get
Helena to unite upon q man. they took
the "bull by the HORNS" stepped into the
breach, aud az representing the Repub'i-
cans Of the entire Territory, decided that
General Warren should be- the man. In
accordance with this conclusion they at
once drew up d telegram and sent it to
Washington, abusing Governor Leslie and
urging the appointment OF General Warren,
as a man whose selection would give salts

Late yesterday afternoon it was coDfi-

in the councils of the psrty, was in receipt
OF a dispatch announcing that the mat

that he had agreed to send the nomination

When the General al seen and asked

L1rcHF1ELD, ILL.,, Feb. 2O.-Saturday,
in boring for gas, the heavy drill caught
at depth of 800 feet. After some work
it was released, and when brought to
the surface it was covered with blood
The amazed drillers heard dull rum
bling noise, and presently a sepulchral
voice callingup to them: Y GU have killed
somebody down here" The horror
stricken men fed. They spread the
news and the town was turned upside
down in hour. Hundreds went to the
well and gazed open-mouthed at the
bloody drill and the mysterious cavity
it had made. Not until late in TIC even
ing was the mystery solved by the pres
entation of bill for $50 by the Itch
field Coal Company for zone male killed
by drill" The coal company's mine
extended under the gas company's ter
ritory, and their best mule had been in
the way of the drill and was killed.

Two School Children Killed and Eater

Two School Children Killed and Eaten
by the Fero.ious Brutes in Minnesota.
News from creditable source has
been received that a few days ago, in
the sparsely settled country around
Aitken, Mimi, two -hite children re-
turning to their homes late in the alter
noon from school were attacked and
com pletely devoured by ravenous tim
Der wolves, a few scattered bones and
shreds of clothing alone remaining as
horrible testimony of the children's
fate. 1t was supposed at first that there
were not more than two wolves at most
in the pack, but an Indian hunter,
shortly after the disappearance of the
cEildron, encountered a pack of ten of
these fierce brutes near the scene of the
little ones death He used his Win
chester with such effect as to kill eight
of them and getting out of cartridges he
went up tree to escape from the fang 8
of the remaining two. Not being fright
ened by the slaughter of the rest of the
pack, these two man-eaters squatted
down at the foot of the tree, awaiting
the moment that the Indian would be-
come their prey. When he thought his
late sealed, two cartridges providential-
~ made their appearance from the
depths of his pockets. With these he
settled the last two animals. The
forests in the northern part of
Aitken County have for many years
been infested with raging and voracious
animals, but this is the first instance 70,
many years OF their venturing 80 close

ANOTHER BABCOCK CASE.


Woman Turns Up Who Says She Ia
Mrs. Kittson and Claims Dover.
For some months it has been known
that Judge Bresbine, of st. Paul, has
been acting as the attorney of
a woman who claimed to be en-
titled to one-third of the estate
OF the late Commodore Kittson by rea-
son of having been his first wife. The
judge, however, refused to give the par
ticulars until the 10Th, when he let it
out that the woman in the case is Mrs.
Adelaide Crezier, of St. Cloud, now 60
years old. The suit will be filed in a
few days and the complainant will al
lege that at an early day she and Com
modore Kittson entered into an agree
ment of marriage in the presence of wit
nesses, there being no preachers or
magistrates in the section where they
then resided. She claims that they lived
together as husband and wife for ten
years. and that children were born as a
fruit of their marriage, one of whom
was DR.. Kittson, since dead, and the
other, Norman Kittson, Jr. She alleges
that at the expiration of ten years Com
modore Kittson left her without any le-
gal separation. She therefore claims
her dover right.

THE GERMAN SIDE OF 1T.

The Troubles in Samoa Described by
Emperor Williams Consul There.
A consular letter sent from Apia, Jan.
&c. to the different German consulates
and giving the German version of affairs
IN Samoa, is printed In the Honolulu
Bulletin Of Feb. II, which reached San
Francisco by steamer. Speaking of the
situation on the island, the letter says
nearly all black plantation men have
been driven from their planta-
tons by Mataafa's men, the Vaitele
plantation alone losing not less than
$40 men. Pigs, poultry and horses have
also been driven off by armed bands OF
men. On several occasions dwellings
of the planters have been robbed and
the inhabitants threatened with vio-
lence. The letter describes the issue OF
proclamations by Col. De Cortiegan, the
British consul, and Capt. Fritze, the
senior commanding officer Of the Ger.
man men-of-war in regard to iurisdic-
ton over British subjects in Samoa
The document continues:
''The actions OF the Germans were
severely criticised by the English and
Americans here. In justification oil
their proceedings the Germans give the
following reasons: On December Is wa,
virtually began with battle at Fubales
between the German sailors and the
rebels. This was the reason why the
Samoan islanders were declared in q
state of war by the German
authorities, it being absolutely
necessary to declare war when war
had been the order of the day
for about a month. The effects and
rights arising from that declaration Of
war had been issued. Martial law has
therefore with reason been proclaimed
and all nationalities are subject to it,"
The London Standards Berlin CORE
spondent believes that change will be
made in the representation OF Germany
in Samoa, and that new and very de-
tailed instructions will be sent to the
German officials there. Klein fled to
America to escape punishment for sell
ing articles belonging to the state.

RUM NERVED HIS HAND.

Horrible Butchery of n Family i'm Ash
land County-ParticuIars.
ALHLAND, Wis, Feb. 20.-At Epson,
in this county, this morning, laborer
named Joseph Began killed his wife
and their two children, aged and
years respectively. and then committxH
suicide.
Epson is about 40 forty miles from
this city and one-third of that distance
from Highpridge, the scene of the ter
rible tragedy OF yesterday.
Began was an Irish Canadian, about
45 years old, and had for some time
been drinking heavily. He had fire.
Guently quarreled with his wife, and
for two or three days past the family
Misunderstanding had been more
than usually violent.
This morning, as near as can be
ascertained, Mrs. Began protested
against her husband continuing
his spree spending for drink
the money the family needed SO
much for the necessaries of life. Began
resented his wife's interference, and
during the quarrel struck the woman
repeatedly. She resisted, and in q fit of
u
with single blow.
This act seemed but to increase the
mans insane frenzy, and taking razor
that was in the house he drew it across
his wife 8 throat, cutting cash that ex-
tended from ear to ear and almost sew
cred the head from the trunk.
From the appearance of the surround
ings it is supposed that when the MUIR
derer realized what he had done he
hastily decided to kill the two children
and himself The throats of the little
ones were cut with the same instrument
with which their mothers life was end
ed.
The cries of the children and the
sounds of the struggle attracted the at
tention of persons who were passing,
and they fastened toward the house.
Began evidently saw them coming and
hastily ended his own life as he did
those of his family. The body of the
murderer and suicide fell against the
door as the neighbors reached the
threshold.
The county authorities have not vet
been notified of the crime, but Hurley
town constables and undertakers were
informed of the tragedy shortly before
noon, and proceeded at once to the
scene.
The Began family lived in q small
cabin hut at the outskirts of the town.
The interior of the rough structure bore
terrible evidences of the crime. The
bodies of husband and wife lay on the
floor, while those of the children, Hugh
and Johnnie, aged and respectively,
were on the bed. Walls, ceiling and
floor were spattered with blood
