their ancestral gods, developed

springs indicating valuable materials
are there. The waters of these springs
are very unlike; some of them pure

geological survey with an analysis
of the diversified waters will
reveal vast mines of wealth
here hidden for ages. When this reser-

wealth-getting and become popular
watering places for pleasure seekers and
tourists, as was prophetically predicted
by Nic0llet in the long ago. 1t is to be

HELENA, Mont. May 23.-During the
last month considerable number OF
emigrants have been passing through
Montana, en- route to British posses
sions, travelling by wagon. 1t has been
ascertained that they are Mormons from
Utah and Idaho, and that their destina-
ton is the country through which the
Gait railway passes. Some time ago
the Alberta Railway & Coal conf
pany was approached by an agent
of the Mormon hierarchy with a
proposition to buy several thousand
acres of the company's land in the
Northwest territory upon which to set
tie a colony of the saints. The negotia-
tions hung fire for some time but were
completed little more than month
ago. 1t is not known what the consid-
Grafton was. nor just how many acres OF
land were purchased. The deal was a
large one, however, and the province is
likely to have very considerable Nor
mon population within short period of
time.

Special to the Globe.
MORA, Minn.. May 23.-The special
term of the district court closed here to-
day. Charles Hanson, who was in
dicted by the grand jury for shooting
and killing his mother last March, was
acquitted, it being proven beyond a
doubt that the shooting of Mrs. Hanson
by her son was unintentional. Jacob
Quick, who was indicted for assault up
on Mrs. Hanson at the time of the shoot
ing, was also tried. The jury went out
yesterday, and did not return until this
afternoon, when disagreement was re-
ported. 1t was discharged. The jury
stood eleven to one for conviction. John
Currie, the juror who stood alone, was
biased in favor of Quick, regardless of
the strong evidence against him. Quick

ASHES AT ADRIAN.
Fire Destroys the Flouring Mills
of Gilbert & Randall.


Special to the Globe.
ADRIAN, MIMI, May 23.-The most
disastrous fire that ever visited this
place occurred here to-day soon after
the 1890 am. passenger train going east
had passed. The Adrian Touring mills,
situated in the Western limits of town,
was discovered to be on fire. The blaze
started on the North side of the mill
next to the railroad track, ,and when dis
covered, the volume Of the fame was
about the size of wash tub. A hun
dred men were soon on the
ground. A sharp breeze was blow
ing and nothing could be done
with buckets and hand eXtinguishers to
save the mill OF tue large barn immedi-
ately south. The Adrian fire engine
was out Of repair, hence useless. Act
i've work save the two residences ala
cent to the mill property. The mill was
owned by Messrs. Gilbert & Randall.
They had recently purchased it for $10,-
600 and just put in new machinery at an
expense of $500. There were nearly
1000 bushels of grain, mostly wheat, in
the mill. The barn was new, costing
about $500. The total loss is about S16,-
600, with an insurance of only $4,000.
The victims are unable to say now what
will be done about rebuilding. 1t is
severe stroke to Adrian's business in
terests, as the mill drew trade for
twenty miles arOunds. MeSsrS. Gilbert
& Randall also lost all of their books
and accounts. Five houses. on the same
street caught fire, and, but for prompt
work. would have been destroyed.

Swenson, the clerk who rescued the
girl, and other witnesses have been
summoned and are being examined by
the grand jury and an Indictment will
certainly be returned tomorrow against
one or both of the accused. Deegan
does not deny the assault it seems, but
claims he had been drinking and his
defense will probably be plea of i'll
sanity. His brother died in the insane
asylum at Rochester last year. He says
Lair had nothing to do with the terri
BILE affair. Lair tells the same story.
He asserts that he tried to prevent
Deegan from committing the assault,
and was unable to do SO, but this is not
believed. Deegan struck the girl in the
face and abused her OutrageOusly be-
fore he succeeded in accomplishing his
vile purpose. The victim and her sis

both modest appearing and are unusu-
ally pretty. They were passengers on

girl came to this country to meet and

for collecting all sorts Of poisons. In

from all parts of the world and took
great pride in her collection, which she
had in fine cabinet with each poison

such an unusual knowledge of toXicol-

A Wife Murderer to Take the

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. May 23.-In the
criminal court. late tonight. Dick
hawes, who murdered his wife and
children, was brought out for sentence.
Judge Greene had deferred sentence for
the reason that it was desirable that
but few persons be present. AS
the prisoner entered the court
room, the deep anxiety caused by
his desperate situation waa always
portrayed by the lines upon his
face. Hawes has changed considerably
since his trial, and looks badly. When
ordered to stand up for sentence, he
arose slowly, his frame shuddered, and
his head was bowed. In response to
the question as to what he had to say
why sentence should not be passed
upon him, Hawes replied: Il do not
think have had fair trial, but hope
the supreme court will grant me one.
I could say much more, but do not be-
lieve it would do any good" Judge
Greene then sentenced Hawes to Ds

Of Her Husbands.


MOBILE, Ala, May 23.-Carrie E.
HolbroOk Chandler, the mother of Mrs.
James Maybrick, who is charged with
poisoning Maybrick.in Liverpool. is a wo.
man with very romantic career. Miss
Holbrook came here about 1856, visiting
her uncle, Rev. j. H. Ingraham, rector
of st. Johns church, author of the
"Prince of the House of David" She
was very popular in society, being good
conveIsationalist, handsome, though not
pretty, and quiet and prepOssessing
in demeanOr. Among those who joined
her troop of admirers was young Will
lam G. Chandler, one of the most prom
inent merchants of the city. The two
young people were mutually taken with
one another, and he followed her to her
home in New York city, where they
were married. Returning to Mobile,
they lived in good style, and Mrs.
Chandler increased her influence in So
ciety. She was as much of belle as
before marriage, and her society was
especially sought by young men. 1t was
at the beginning of the civil war that
Frank Dubassey turned up, being a
captain in the ordnance department of
the Confederate army: Capt. Frank
was ICtudIkdUly udluSOLuc HAL
and dashing officer. He fell
in with the Chambers and soon
there was talk of his relations with the
lady. Suddenly Mr.. Chandler fell ill.
He grew rapidly worse, and his rela-
tives were refused admittance to the
house. Mr.. Chandler died, attended by
no one but the young wife, and the re-
port arose that he had been killed by
her. There was no official investiga-
ton of the charge, but it affected her
position, which became so unpleasant
that she took her two children and
moved to Macon. Ga. In less than a
year she married Dubassey there.
Shortly afterwards Dubassey was Or
dered to go to Europe as representa-
tive of the Confederate govern
ment. He and his family took
passage on a blockade run
