CAUGHT AT FIRST BASE.
A Mormon Witness Cornered by q
ShreWd Attorney.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 19.-InvestR
CATION in regard to obligations and
oaths taken by Mormons in endowment
house was resumed before Judge An
derson. in the Third districs
court, this morning. The en-
tire morning was occupied by
the defense in introducing documentary
evidence to show that the church is not
disloyal. and extracts were read from
addresses delivered by Brigham Young,
George a. Smith, WILDER Woodruff ana
other Mormon leaders. In the after
noon some evidence was offered to
rebut the testimony of Martin Wardell
as to the killing of Green in 1862
for apostacy, and the statement was
made that they would produce Green
in court. Charles W.-PeHrose, member
of the presidency of this state, and one
of the best known preachers in the
church, was put on the stand, and he
made extensive quotations from sermons
of church authorities and doctrine and
covenants to show that the church was
not disloyal. He denied that the presi-
dent of the church ever ordered the
killing of any man for apustaey and
said he understood the doctrine Of
blood atonement to mean when man
had committed murder or adultery he
should be killed. The murderer should
be turned over to the law. The church
has no authority to kill man fol adul-
terry. but it;believed when the law of God
was fully established the penalty would
be death. Almost the first question
asked the witness on crOss-eXamination
was how mai.y wives he had, and this
the witness declined to answer, as he
said he had been granted amnesty and
pardon by President Cleveland and the
question was therefore improper. An
answer was insisted upon, and after a
long discussion the court ruled the wit
ness must answer. PenrOSe then made
an appeal to the court to allow him until
tomorrow morning to consider the mat
ter and consult with his attorney. Judge
Anderson finally said while he really
felt it his duty to commit the witness
fol contempt. still as he said he wished
to consult with his attorney, he would
give him until tomorrow morning to
decide whether he should answer or 60

Five Hundred Swearing Men Sc
Iect Real Estate by Lot.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Nov. 19.-Last night was
wakeful'one for the real estate boomer.
The South Superior Improvement COM
pany advertised that it would open its
Office at West Superior at 10 o'clock this
morning for the sale of limited num-
Der of lots surrounding the La Belle
and Fish Bros.' wagon works, and TO
get in on the ground floor seemed the
one particular object in the life of the
realty dealer. In fact several of them
were so anxious to get first chance at
the property that camp stools, bunalo.
robes, lunches, etc, were brought INTO
use, and all night long SleepleSs Vigil
was kept in the doorway OF the COM
pany'S Office. AT break of day full
score stood shivering at the entrance,
and by o'clock the crowd had quad
rupled. Eight o'clock came. and the
crowd blocked the sidewalk; 9 O'Clock,
and it was a jostliDg mass of humanity.
The office was opened at 10. and the
crowd surged in and filled every inch OF
space in the large room. 1t was then
the fun began. Attorney Ross mounted

but could not take more than two OF the
principal lots; the man drawing ucket

held the box. and as hands were eX-

crowd pushed and SWOre, and strained

days in Fargo, and the later boom at

right behind him in the procession. and
an hour later offered choice No. 155 for
cigar. Bob Mckinley was near the
tail end of the procession, and sold
ticket No. 2 in ten minutes for $50.
Other tickets under No. % brought from
500 down to SIS, without having cost
the holder a cent, or Obligating the
purchaser to take lot unless he could
find what he wanted. All in all it was
a genuine "bOOm." the out come of

The Bodies of Supposed Victims
of q Blizzard Found Near Fort

The Bodies of Supposed Victims
of q Blizzard Found Near Fort
Pierre.
Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, s. D., Nov. 19.-This morn
ing while digging cellar for house
about a mile above the town of Fort
Pierre and a mile and half from
Pierre, workmen made terrible ghastly
find in the shape of seven human bod
les. They were in bad state of decOm-
position, and four of them are presuma-
bly, those of soldiers, and the remaining
three Indians. Upon finding the bodies
the authorities were at once notified.
and the coroner and a number Of citi-
Zens Immediately went to the locality.
On four of the bodies were found rem
nants of United States uniforms. with
guns. pistols. etc. A sword was also
found, showing that one Of the party
was undoubtedly a commissioned officer.
Owing to the condition of the bodies it
is impossible to identify them. The
coroner states that they must have been
placed there fully six months ago. On
one of them was found pOcketboOk,
Guilty deciphered the name Of Lawrence
W. Chandler. The military authorities
at Fort Bennett have been notified. and
it is expected that they will be able to
identify some of the bodies. Last
spring band of Sioux Indians came
through Pierre, and informed P. P.
Robie. an Indian interpreter, that they
had buried a number of bodies that
the had found up the river. These In
dams wanted the citizens Of Pierre to
give them some remuneration for their
labor. But at that time the story was
thought to be fake on the part of the
Indians. The theory now is that the
persons were probably frozen in the ter
rible storm of Jan. 12, and afterwards
buried by this band of Indians.

Which Brings the Heaviest
Damage Verdict Of Local
Record.
The Burlington Road Caught
for a Judgment Of Forty
Thousand.
Frederick Hall, an Engineer.
Was Crippled in a Col
liSion,
And a Ramsey County Jury
Gives Him Very Heavy
Damages.

A verdict for $4,000 is what the jury
yesterday gave Frederick A. Hall
against the Chicago, Burlington g.
Northern Railroad company. This is one
of the heaviest verdicts ever returned
by jury in the Ramsey county courts.
MIR. Hall was formerly an engineer on
the Burlington road and ran an en-
gine on the suburban line between
the st. Paul union depot and
Pullman avenue. One dark night in
November of last year, Mr.. HalPs
engine collIded with a switch engine
and disastrous smash-up was the re-
suit. Engineer Hall met with injuries
which came near proving fatal. Be.
sides breaking many bones he sustained
a horrible scalding. He was laid up al-
most year and will probably be Grip
pie for the remainder of his life. He
brought suit against the company for
$4,000 and his case has been on trial in
the district court since last Friday
morning. Davis, Kellogg & Severance
were MIR. Halls attorneys.

TOWNE is A PESSIMIST.
Suggestion for Postponemens
of the Proposed Worlds Fair.

NEW YORK. Nov. l9.-Renry h.
Towne, the retiring president of the
American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers. in the course of his speech be-
fore the meeting of the society to-day,
spoke of the necessity of seeur-
ing national character to the
worlds fair. New York city being the
Industrial center of the country. was the
proper place to hold the fair. 1t was a
physical iInpossibilIty tor this city
or any other city to properly ar
range for an undertaking of such
an international character within
a time of less than four years. He
strongly advocated the pOStponement
of such an event until the year 1894.
He believed that it could be made
very big affair. Yet. in the space of
twenty-niue months now remaining un-
til 1892, it could not obtain the inter-
national character desired. either in
duStriaily Or artistically. He felt sure
that if the gentlemen identified with
the manufacturing interest could ap-
precIate the Importance of keeping up
the standard that they would fall in
with his views. The fact that Mr..
TOwne is a member of the worlds fair
site and building committee in this city
adds significance tn his words.
