tinued on run and disappeared in the
woods. The whole affair is a mystery,
but the theory is that the man who was
killed was intoxicated. and his COM
panion seeing the train approaching,
laid his body on the track pur-
posely, that he might be killed.
This theory is strengthened by the fact
that the supposed murder escaped to
the woods. The body. which was SO
horribly mangled that it had to be placed
IN a barrel, is in charge OF The Ashland
county authorities, and an inquest will
be held.

SAYS ITS A CANARD.
President Hill, of the Manitoba, was
asked last night for information regards

said: whenever you see anything OF
that sort you can set it down as false.
There is absolutely no truth in the re.

In view of Mr.. Hills unqualified de-
nial, the reported traffic agreement
must be disGedited, On the face of it,
it looked probable, more especially
since President Perkins, of the 90"
and Vice President Harris, of the c.,
b. & N, have been in close conference
with Mr.. Hill for several days. Such
an alliance, if made, would prove one
of the most powerful combines that
could be made. The system would then
have terminl at Boston, New York
and Philadelphia on the East, and when

ever, anything that Mr.. Hill says goes,

Scribed the proceedings at the meetings

Boston, Oct. 3O.-The Globe will to-

which, it says, will be subject to
very slight change. Mondays meet
ing will be for members of
the brotherhood alone. Ward, Irwin,

the different chapters. Every one of
these men are in favor of the new Or

ception of GlaSscOck. 1t has been def
initely settled that Brooklyn and
Buffalo will take the place
of indianapolis and Washing
ton. The players of those clubs will be
distributed between the former cities
and PittSburg. Arthur Irwin is booked
for Philadelphia. where he will captain
the team. John NJ. Ward will don a
Brooklyn uniform, and manage the team
for that city. COmiskey, of the st.
Louis Browns, will take Anson's
place on first base for the Chicagos.
Pfetfer will manage and COmiskey cap
tain the team. As the st. Louis players
have not been reserved by the Browns,
there will be no interference by the
new organization. Glasseock and
Denny are down for Pittsburg, taking
the place of White and Rowe, who will
20 to Buffalo. There are several play
erS who have not as yet been
placed. The governing board Will con-
Sist of sixteen, one player from each
club, and one of outside stockholders.
This board will have the power to make
up the teams at the end of each season,
as contracts run but for one year, and
new faces may often be found in clubs.
The teams will stop at the same hotels
ia the different cities and cut down ex-
epenses wherever they look eXtravagant.
John Clarkson is one of the men that
the New York branch of the brother
hood fears will not stick. John Morrill,

Murder a Montanan.
Special to the Globe.
BUTTE, Mont, Oct. S0.-Mrs. Stern
berg, August, her son, and Oscar
Smithger were to-day given a prelim-
mary hearing in the police court on the
charge of attempted murder by blowing
up Oscar Sternberg in his bed with
giant powder. The boy August
was discharged as prisoner,
and put on the stand as a
witness for the prosecution. He testi-
fed that on Monday or Tuesday pre-
ceding the deed, Smithger asked the
witness to loan brace and bit. The
boy let him have them, and Smithger
also asked the witness TO bore bOle in
the wall of his fathers bed room. The
boy refused. The morning after the
explosion in Sternberg's room the brace
was found near the scene. A hole In
Sternberg's room was found next day
in about the place where Smithger
had asked the boy to bore It,
and it corresponds in size with the bit
borrowed by Smithger the day before
the deed. Smithger was in Sternberg's
house and had long private talk with
Mrs. Sternberg. The witness also tes-
titled that Smithger told him some time
ago that he would like TO kill old Stern
berg if he could find some way to do it
without having to be punished. Mrs.
Ros. Perkins, who was the first out
slider at the scene of explosion, testified
tnat Mrs. .Sternberg said at the time that
it served him right.She was glad the deed
was done. He ought to have been killed
long ago. A lot of cOrrObOrative evil
dence was also obtained from a number
of other witnesses. Mrs. Sternberg and
Smithger were bound over to await the
action of the grand jury. The woman
is out on $1,000 bail. Smithger is IN
jail. The boy was also bound over as a
witness. The evidence to-day created
a great sensation, and the feeling
against Smithger runs very high to-

BUTTE, Mont. Oct. 30.-But little
new tranSpired in the election manda-
mus case to-day. The time has been
mostly consumed in the argument OF
counsel for and against the writ. Grea
interest is manifested by the public and
the court room is daily crowded with
people from all parts of the territory.
The Republican lawyers talked against
time all of to-day. Their object is to
delay the courts decision so that the
returns from Silver Bow county will
not reach the state board of canvasSers
in time to be counted with the
vote of the rest of the territory.
The state board of eanvassers meets
in Helena tomorrow and the court is
holding a session here tonight in order
that a decision may he reached to-mor-
row. The Republicans are fighting
only upon teehncalities. The entire
case rests upon the fact that certlh-
cite which accompanied returns from
Precinct "a was signed by both Judges
and clerks of election, but the signatures
were not upon the proper place on the
certificate. In fact. the whole case has
become a hnwling farce. Decent Re-
Dublicans realize that they have made

ENDEAVoRING TO DISFRANCHIsE
Nearly 200 legal voters on mere clerl-
cal errors of the Republican judges of

Democrats tonight Warren TOole said:
I'VE have always learned in the history
of our country that the will of our peO-
pie is equivalent TO the voice of God,
and any political trickster who would
put himself against the voice Of the
people in an expression of their senti-
ment in matters of political economy,
in matters pertaining to government.
would be regarded as unworthy the
respect of mankind. But what
can be said of the individuals who at
tempt, as Republicans, upon so friYo-
louS pretense to deprive man of his
right to vote. You may parcel out his
lands, you may scatter his inheritance,
you may take from him his riches, but
when you tamper with his religion and
politics, when you attempt to take them
from him upon such f1imsy pretenSeS as
those advanced by the Republican
leaders in this case, you strike
deep down in the heart of Ameri-
can citizenship: and it is upon this
theory. Upon this basis, that the great
est juristS of the country have con-
demned in the strongest terms such an
attempt as this to subvert the voice of
the electors. 1t is but simple truth to
state that public sentiment in this city
and territory is overwhelmingly against
the Republicans in their despicable at
tempt to steal this state"

What Sonth Dakota Lawmakers

Special TO the GLOBE.
HURON, S. D., Oct. 30.-Newspaper
men of South Dakota are mapping out
any amount of work for the legislature
at its session in January. Among other
matters that will be pressed to the at
tention of the lawmakers is that of a
law calling a halt on the millers, who, it
is claimed, are now making from Is to
100 per cent profit on flour. A bill ask
ing for radical changes in the tax laws,
whereby the present burdensOme and
unjust penalties will be removed, and
the assessment laws modified, will be
urged early in the session. A stringent
law against usury, and also regulating
the lOaning of money is being harped
upon by Conklin's DakOtan, backed by
many prominent Farmers alliance men.
A law regulating railroad freight
CHARGES and providing against the posi-
bility of discriminating against jobbers in
certain South Dakota cities, will surely
be introduced by those especially inter-

Wife for Her Husband.
Special to the Globe.
BRAINERD, Oct. S0.-The young wife
of Frank Osborn, who is in Saltwater
prison, returned from St. Paul last
night from making to the governor an
intercession for pardon for her hus-
band. She had with her her two wee
children, and made a touching effort
with the governor. Osborn is barber,
and his conviction was upon an alleged
scrape of having, with another, pur-
loined some articles of food stored in a
shed near the barber shop. There was
a goose, some meat and little butter
the whole not filling a barrel. The
other party, by plea of guilty, got off
with a light punishment, and Osborn
went over the road for five years. But
judge, jury and nearly all connected
with the case, and especially public
sentiment, regretted the severity of the
laws requirements, and nearly all have
united in efforts to get Frank out by the
governors pardon. Mrs. Osborn felt,
from the manner in which she was re-
ceived, and from the papers in the case,
consideration of which the governor has
begun, that there is hope of favorable
and early action. Osborn is employed
in the prison barber shop.

FRIEND OF HOMEsTEaDERs.
Gen. Croft Will Not. Evict Settlers
on TeChniCalities.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-GeneraI Land
Commissioner Croft, IN deciding the case
of Anderson against Myers, involving
ownership of homestead entry in Ne
braska, emphasizes the policy he will
pursue in land contests where good faith
is shown by the settler. Anderson con-
tested Mary Myers entry, alleging that
she had abandoned it. The evidence
showed that she had not lived on her
entry for six months prior to notice of
contest. But good faith in making the
entry and in what she has
done to improve it, are essential ele-
ments. says Commissioner Croft in
deciding the case. The evidence shows
that the woman had dug well, built
small house and broke forty acres of
ground. Her health was poor as she
left her claim in search of medical at
tendance. When sufficiently recovered
she resumed her residence. Comment
ing on all the facts, Commissioner Croft
says:
1t is clear that in consequence OF sickness
and poverty she has been obliged to be away
a great deal of the time, and l am satisfied
that she has lived on the claim as continu-
ously as she was able. and as much so as was
consistent with prudence ana safety. The
law does not require that life and health
should be sacrificed to maintain a residence.
The action of the local land Office in award
ing the entry TO Anderson is reversed, aud
Mrs. Myers title confirmed"
