A MONEY LOANER FORCED

To DisgoIge Some of His Gains,
Including Farms and Such.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO. Feb. S.-The case of Jasper
against HaZen has engaged the atten-
ton of the district court for the past
week, and h as been the source Of much
gossip and many bar-room discussions.
1t appears that said Jasper was arrest
ed, and finally convicted. for stealing
wheat and sent to prison for his crime;
again and prepared to see his ''friends."
During his trial for the wheat stealing
he wanted bail, and applied to A. Ii.
Hazen, money loaner, to assist him.
Said Hazen was willing, provided JAS
per would secure him against loss. To
do this Jasper gave him a
deed of his farm. After Jas
per's conviction and sentence
Mr.. Hazen took possession Of not only
the farm, but of all personal property
leaving only the well on the premises.
Such is a statement of the case as given
by one of the attorneys. Said Jasper,
now out of prison, oemuenced action to
recover the value of the farm, employ
ing NJ. w. Greene to conduct the case.
The trial was before jury, and Jasper
was awarded verdict for s2,902. This
was no surprise to the public, the gen
eral opinion being that Hazen had no
right to the farm whatever, but had cap
tured it without giving any rec ompense
to the original owner. 1t would be
we'll if some others who have carried
high hand in the past should take warn
ing from the verdict of this jury and be
more careful in taking what belongs to
others.

Special to the Globe.
WooNsoCKET, Feb. s.-The recent
law passed by the territorial legislature
making it a misdemeanor to give or take
more than 12 per cent per annum will
meet with little favor down this way.
The idea Of Furnishing a man who is
compelled to pay eXorbitant interest.
perhaps to buy seed wheat or bread for
his family or for sick wife or child. is
an outrage and nothing less. The only
result will be to shut the mouth of the
victim, because the law declares
the man robbed equally guilty with the
robber. Recently read that CORE
spondent at Bismarck had been con-
demned for calling some of the legis-
lators ''stinkers." For my part, 1 have
never applied such a term to any of
them, but l have thought just that,
more especially in relation to this usury
law.

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-Intense inter
est is felt on both sides Of the senate in
the non-political Oklahoma bill. The
majority which the measure received in
the house was decisive, and Indicative
of the popular wish in the premises.
But there have been bitter opponents
employing ugly tactics against the bill
for months past, land their fight has been
transferred to the senate. Friend and
foe are alike alert. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Barnes, Of Georgia, has been
nsing his greatest endeavors to induce
Senator Dawes, Of Massachusetts, to
enlist himself in the contest as the
champion of "the poor Indian.'' Mr..
Barnes has taken up the time and at
tention. also, of his friend Senator Col
quit. and earnestly besought him to
kill the bill in the senate, if possible to
do so. Friends OF the measure profess
to have assurances to the effect that

man Warner, of Kansas City, i'll reply

Ohio. is being effectively used by the
friends of the measure in the senate.
The bold declarations made by the Mis-
souri, congressman concerning the
cattle steals and void leases, as swell as
his graphic picture of the possibilities
of the new territory, are eloquent APP
peals TO the senators TO support the bill.
it is understood that Mr.. Payson, of
Illinois, has personally solicited the

that they oppose and tilibuster against
the bill; but they

Springer, in securing the passoge Of the

REDFIELD. Dak.. Feb. S.-No clue
has as yet been found as to the wherea-
bouts Of Jacob Menchel, who broke jail
last Saturday night. 1t is supposed that
he is not far off, as he HAD very little
money to travel with. Menchel was
sentenced to the penitentiary for steal
ing wheat for a term of one year at the
recent term of court, and was held in
jail pending the argument on amotion
for a new trial. The bar on the jail
door was cut in two and the tools that
did the work were found in the jail next
morning. Menchel had evidently hired
some one to pass in the tools, as he has
as far as known no friends in the local
ity. He is a German by birth, about
forty years old. Another Indictment
against him on the same charge is still

The Doctors Numbered.

In Washington yesterday the coroner made sn
autopsy on the body Of Maurice Adler. who died
shortly before II o'clock Thursday night from
the wound inflicted by Frank Ward on June Is
last. The autopsy yielded some interesting and
unexpected developments, which will in all prob
ability form new sensation in the casus celebre.
1t revealed the fact that the spinal cord was not
lacerated, as tho attending physicians had sup
posed but. on the other hand, seemed to be in
sound condition. The bullet had shattered the
spiaous process of the fourth cervical vertebl 20,
and had detected and lodged in front of and a
little to tue right of the spinal column, in posi-
ton where, Dr.. schsefer ssys, it could do no
harm. The only injury to the spinal cord discov..
cred was the sli ght pressure caused by piece of
the bone, but this pressure had been removed by
the operations performed on July 9; What it was
caused the continued paralysis the physicians
have been unable to determine, but Coroner Pat,
tor SON stated last night that his certificate Will
give exhaustion as the cause of death. 1t is the
opinion of physicians that had an operation been
performed earlier than it was Adler's life might
have been saved.
