O'COhNOR Wins EASILY.
Gaudaur quits After Rowing Three Hun
dred Yards
THE RACE REPORTED FIXED.
A Fight of Zig Rounds at Ashland
Weir and Murphey to
Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.-The
three mile boat race between William
O'Connor, of Toronto, and Jake eau
daur, of st. Louis, for $1,000 side and
what was claimed to be the champion
ship Of America was rowed this after
noon over the Alemeda course, an arm
of San Francisco bay, about five miles
from this city. Early in the after
noon stiff breeze began blowing and
long before the time was announced
for the race to take place it was
evident that the water would be rough,
but. Notwithstanding the swell which
was on. both men evineed desire to
row. Alfred j. Tobin was chosen ref
cree and W. r. Vice timekeeper.
O'Connor's judges won the place and
he was given the inside course, where
the water was much smoother than
Gaudaur's course. After some delay
the men were sent away at
o'clock, O'Connor catching the
water first. At the start both men
were rowing thirty-siX strokes to the
minute. When about 800 yards from
the starting point Gaudaur lost his
stroke, owing to the rough water, but
fegalneu lt ana MADE squirt TILL the
quarter was reached, when he again lost
water. and, turning his boat around, he
came back and gave up the race. O'Con-
nor steered somewhat wildly about the
half-mile point, but soon regained
the straight course. and made the
turn and mile and half in nine
minutes and twenty seconds. On the
home stretch he shortened his stroke
and m 1de the starting point in nineteen
minutes and forty-fiye seconds and was
declared winner of the race by the
referee. Only-a small crowd assembled
to witness the race, owing to the fact
that the report was current that the
race was already fixed" Betting was
very light and but few pools were sold
on the race. Outside money was offered
on O'Connor, with odds of two to one,
but there were few takers.

IN A WOMAN'S POWER
The Story of How Charley
Skeels Was Pursued by
"BronchO Liz"
She Insisted on Being Near
Him, Though She Knew
He Was Married.
He Tried to Elude Her, But
She Followed, and Finally
Killed Him.
st. Louis Republicans Know a
Thing or Two About Bal
lot Box Stuffing.

Special to the Globe.
SPOKANE FALLS, w. T., March B.
Charley Skeels, who was shot by his
jealous wife, died early this morning.
The history of ''Broncho Liz" his assail-
ant, is an interesting and strange mar
rative. That woman can really love a
man so much that she tries to kill him
is a subject for theorists to discuss. An
old acquaintance of ''Broncho
Liz" was found yesterday, who
has s'kept cases" on her
actions for few years past. The
woman seemed determined to marry
Charley Skeels, if it took years to &C
complish it. She would wait and work,
in hope that before she had killed him
he would succumb to his matrimonial
fate and unite his life with hers.
When her affection for him first over
came her, she followed him to his IA
theirs ranch,and inthe guise afforded by
MALE ATTIRE,
hired out to perform the duties of ranch
man and cowboy. She knew that the
object of her alleged affection w7s mar
ried; that her actions would e4 eutuaiIy
break up a happy family aud d good
woman's heart, but these things were
considered as straws, and she pursued
her victim with her distasteful offerings
till he was compelled to flee. He went
to the Ceur d. Alene country, but be-
fore he had been there very long was
surprised to find that his buxOm and
coarse admirer had followed him,
and was at that time again in
mans garb, and while She was
ostensibly engaged in the mule driving
business. her real motive was to be near
him. He finally persuaded and implored
her to leave and go forever from his
gaze. She persisted in remaining, and
finally in despair he left for Montana
and buried himself, as he thought, in
the little town of Cascade, where he felt
safe. But he was not. She found him
again and loved him considerably
worse. He flew to Moscow, Idaho, as
soon as he could get away, and there he
felt secure. But the woman was no
SLOUGH. and with the
SCENT OF A BLOODHOUND
the trail was taken up and the fugitive
from ''lOve" pursued with a yigor wor-
thy of better cause. Every time he
failed to respond to her loving advances
his life was threatened, and if he dared
to look at any other woman, an awful
death by shooting stared him in the
face. At Moscoe last January he, in de-
spair, gave up the case, and realized
that escape from the clutches of such
an intensified love was not one
of the tasks he could accom-
plish in this life. He thought
the only way was to marry her
and on Jan. 8, 1889, he went through
the marriage ceremony. She had D En-
severed and succeeded, but the mar
riage brought no happiness. 1t gave
the tigress new power of holding her
victim in her clutches. Should he dis
obey her edicts death would surely fol-
low. She gave him warning frequently
that her vengeance would fall. The
man whom she loved so well is dead.
She fingers in cell and will die on the
gallows.

The STATES LANDS.
Past Prodigality By Legis-
lators In Granting Rail-
roads Swamp Acres.
Eleven Million Acres Given
Away Within Twenty
Short Years.
The Opposition to the Duluth
& Winnipeg Road Takes
Strong Grounds.
Its Argument Made for the
Benefit of the State
Treasury.

If any member of the present house
will take the trouble to look on page
7Sc of the House Journal of 1887 he will
see there the following paragraph:
House File No. 157-A bill for an act
for payment of certain back taxes.
'Was READ the third time, and put
upon its final passage"
There were Sc yeas and 81 nays, and
the bill passed. carrying with it what
has been denounced as the most ''ne-
fariOus robbery" of the state treas
ury which has ever been perpe-
trated. House File No. 157, innocent
as was its title, took from the state
treasury, already sadly depleted, 1,000,-
GOO of taxes due. But seven of the fifty
six men who voted for the bill were re-
elected. and it must have been that pub
lie justice in some way thus measured
out rebuke to these SpendthrlftS of
the public money.
On the general orders of the house to-
day two bills appear with as innocent
titles as House File 157 bares. They
are:
House File POI relating to the land
grant OF the Duluth d Iron Range rail-
road.
House File SD relating to the land
grant of the Duluth & Winnipeg rail-
road.
In truth both bills refer to the Duluth
Il Winnipeg road. The first bill pro-
poses to forfeit to the state school fund
and the state institutions over 1000, 900
acres of swamp land, once granted to
the Winnipeg road, but now under faint
of forfeiture. The second bill proposes
to take from the state school fund and
the state institutions 100000 in swamp
lands and give it to the Winnipeg road.
The propositions of both are very plain
-one gives to the people what now be-
longs to them, and the other takes from
weakened treasury what is its lawful
property.
In the days of land grants to rail-
roads (they are practically unheard of
now Minnesota was very generous to
them, as the following data from the
state auditors report will show. The
conditions of the swamp land grants of
the state from July 81. 1886, to July 81,
1888:

That is out of the forty hours the
members took up over half or twenty
hours and three-quarters and two min
utes in saying something, whether it
was worth saying or not, which leaves
less than twenty hours in ten days for
the clerk to read bills in,announee titles.
call rolls, the chaplain to pray and the
speaker to give his directions. OF this
twenty odd hours four members took
up just one-tifth Of it. A good part of
the time was wasted in Wrangle over
the picayunish retrenchment and re-
form report, and the other useless
wrangle was as TO whether prohibition
should have voice on the floor or not.
Matters that children would pass
over with a smile. house mem
bers find it necessary to discuss
for half day. There is constant ex-
PLANTATION of votes by wary members,
and debates over highway and ditch
bills that would drive a hairsplitter
bills occupy long time. The members
grow hungry and desperate, some are
moves to adjourn, there is wild rush
and another day gone. The schedule
for an average day looks very much
like this:
1000 a. m-Prayer
1905 a. m.-Journal reading.
1910 8. m.-Petitions.
1870 a. m.-Resolntions and reports.
11:10 a. m.-Introduction of bills.
IL 80 a. m.-Gab.
1:30 p. m.-Adjourn.
Yet it is not an unusual thing for
some member to rise every day and
complain of the waste of time. said
complaint making as much impression
upon the house as the fall of rain-drop
upon torrid world. The trouble with
the house is two-fold. 1t is. too long in
session for the energy of the members,
and there is too much useless speech
flying. Day after day passes and the
members are held in their seats an hour
or two after dinner-time, which makes
them cross and ugly and unfit for work.
If, at the start, the introduction of bills
was made the last order of the day, and
only important measures were dis
,eussed, and those briefly and tersely.
the plethora of work now accumulated
would soon be out of the way. As it is,
the house has gone mad over the sound
of its own voice. and lost in the concei t
of listening to itself, has forgotten that
a large constituency is anxiously wait
ing for it to saw wood.
