Strange Story About Mrs. Sabin.

A reporter called at Sanford hall, Flush
ing, L. l., where Mrs. Sabin is confined. The
scribe was admitted to the parlor where DR..
Ferrer, an assistant to DR.. Barstow, saw
him.
DR.. Ferrer admitted that Mrs. Sabin was
an inmate of the place, but positively re.
fused to permit the reporter to see her, ex-
planning that, as the institution was a pri-
vate one, the affairs of the patients were
POSSIBLY Mrs. Sabin would like to give
her side OF the story suggested the re-
porter.
"Possibly she might, but that is question
for the courts to decide" promptly replied
DR.. Ferrer.
"Then I am to understand that Mrs.
Sabin is not q free agent?" interrupted the
reporter.
"You must really excuse me, but, as
have saidb before, l have nothing to say on
the subject"
Just as the reporter was leaving the
grounds q face bearing a strong resemblance
to that of Mrs. Sabin peered ont of one of
the windows on the ground floor and beck
oned frantically for him to return. The re-
porter was about to retrace his footsteps,
when DR.. Ferrer, who was standing on the
porch, pointed to the gate, rudely initiating
that conversation with his patients was an
absolute impossibility. One of the keep IRIS,
however. when questioned by the reporter,
said: Positively no strangers are allowed
in there. Sanford Hall is not a retreat for
the inebriate, but a regular insane asylum.
ono hundred dollars a week is charged for
the board of each person, and the doctors,
therefore, do not wish to run the risk of los
ing one of their patients, and so they rigidly
exclude all strangers. The lady you are
looking for is here. She is very quiet and
appears to be greatly detected. She takes a

every morning, and appears to be very fond
of flowers"

Hearing his Death Warrant.

2 A Little Falls, Mimi, Special says: Sheriff
Rasicot received the death warrant for the
execution of Albert Bulow from Gov. Merriam
Saturday, June 9Th and he read it to the
doomed man, who was affected to tears by
the intelligence that he was to be executed
July 10, 1889. Bulow endeavored to hide
his feelings under q Guise otapparent stoicism,
but in spite of his best efforts tears welled in
to his eyes as tho reading proceeded. The
heaving Of his breast and choking in his
throat Indicated that he was putting forth q
most extraordinary effort to appear calm,
in which he only partially succeeded. The
prisoners health has been visibly affected
by his long confinement. and his counte.
name is somewhat pale. He now has moth.
ing to do but reflect upon the crime he has
fatal day of execution. The next afternoon
he rallied somewhat, and outwardly appears
to be more calm, and even q sicklY smile now
and then steals over his pale features. The
necessary lumber and other material for the
snaffpld is already ON the ground, and it
will be erected at the northeast corner of the
Jail, the building forming two sides of the en-
closure, which will be eighteen feet in height.
Sheriff Rasicot exhibited considerable emo.
tiop while performing the sad duty of read.
ing the death warrant to the prisoner. He
will take the precaution of guarding against
the prying eyes of newspaper reporters by
rigidly enforcing the provisions Of the law
passed BY the last legislature. It is very
doubtful If he can wholly succeed in this, as
public feeling Is against such star chamber
proceedings, n somebody will peep, In
spite Of this foolish law. William Rasicot has
charge OF the prisoner during the day, and
y. B. Schenck looks after him at night a.

How Settlers arc WrOnged.

The fraud division of the general lane Of
fee furnishes an instance of how settlers are
wronged by the so-called special agents of
the interior department.. In this division
there are cases held up which were reported
three or four years ago. If proof has been
made the settler cannot get his patent; ii he
has applied for final proof his request is de-
MED. A special agent visits q land district
and reports a case of fraud. This report
h aving been filed, the general land Office no
tiies the local officers that a hearing will be
granted the settler. But the special agent
must be present, and the hearing cannot take
place until he is ready. In many cases the
special agent pays no attention to the re-
quest of the settler of the local Offices.
The result is that thousands of claims
are held in the general land Office marked
Fraudulent" and thousands of settlers are
deprived of their rights. The claimant or his
attorney is not allowed to investigate the
charge of fraud, or to ascertain upon what
ground his patent is withheld. In the course
of q few years the settlers witnesses may die
or move away, and when O hearing is finally
ordered he is not ready to make additional
proof. But the worst feature is the delay.
interruptions agents have used their power
in these cases to get money out of the loan
ing companies. In many cases where proof
is made q mortgage is given to a loaning
company that he has found several fraudu-
lent proofs of claims upon which it has placed
loans. The company prefers to settle with
the agent instead of testing the case, though
in many instances the companies let the
matter go to the general land Office and
await the hearing. Sometimes q ~neighbor
having q quarrel with q settler quietly noti-
fees the special agent that there was q fraud
in the latter's proof and it is held for inves.
LEGATION, Col. Lounsberry, now in North
Dakota, is under instructions to investigate
these cases reported by former agents and
held in the fraud divisions. The people of
the Northwest will be pleased to know that
he is doing good work in restoring to the
settlers their rights and reporting for can.

into three supervising districts. One was for
the southern part Of the state and the other
two for the northern part of the state, q
dividing line being drawn between ST Paul
and Minneapolis 1t is expected that Minne-
sofa viii be given four supervisors this time.
These supervisors are appointed by the presi-
dent and confirmed by the senate, but they
will be made upon the recommendations Of
the senators and congressman. There may

Little Indian Scare

Evan Nicholson, a settler at Mile Laos
lake MiEn., brought word down that the
Indians at the Mile Laos lake reservation
had driven away several lately arrived
families from their claims and murdered an
old Swede named Magnuson. Magnuson
had managed to crawl to his nearest neigh
Dor. about half a mile away, but was dying
and unable to give any clear account
Of tho shooting. He was shot twice
Borg started for Mr.. Briggs place and
Nicholson was dispatched to Mora to tele-
graph tho governor for aid. The Indians
have had n dance and been on q three weeks
drunk which eliminated in an attack on the
settlers. No trace could be found of the mis-
sing families, and fears are entertained of n
wholesale slaughter having taken place. The
whites at the lake ore panic stricken, assome
bad feelings had been shown lately by the In
in. There is some talk of forming O company
of rangers in Mora should any report of
further trouble come and assistance be
necessary.
This news was telegraphed to st. Paul,
and Gov. Merriam at once ave orders for
the assembling of the militia, but as 500 as
the dispatch reached Gen. Ruger, command
army, it was quickly settled that the United
States forces should quell the outbreak.
Accordingly Gen. Ruger ordered three
companies of troops from Fort Smelling to
prepare for the expedition. taking light arms
and ten days ~rations. When this was done
the militia companies were dispersed, with
orders to hold themselves in readiness for
further orders.
A special train of four cars was provided
by the Manitoba railroad, and at midnight
the troops were aboard.
Ex-Gov. Henry NJ. Rice, who knows more
about the Chippewa Indians than any one
else, and who is chairman of the commission
created by the Nelson bill to settle the dit.
ferences between the government and the
tribes, said when the reports of an outbreak
were shown him: "There were according to
the last census 942 Mile Laos Indians
They have a reservation Of 81. 900 acres
much of which is valuable pine land. BY q
treaty made with the government in 1856
and renewed in 1854, the Indians reserved
the right to live on the reservation as long
as they were at peace with the whites. There
has always been q dispute between the gov
ernment and the Indians about their rights
and during the last twelve or fifteen years
white men have gone to the reservation and
attempted to pre-empt, locating soldiers
warrants and taking valuable pine lands
The Indians looked upon this as an invasion
of their rights and matters have been in q
critical condition for some time. The In
dams hav got into an unsettled state. They
are poor and badly demoralized. Whisky il
accessible at many points on the borders o
the reservation, and l have no doubt if this
information is correct that the caus
of the uprising can he directly traced to
whisky.
