CHEATLD THE HANGMAN.
A Verdict of Not Guilty in the
ChesrOWn Murder Case.

ASHLAND, o., Jan. 12.-Elias Ches-
rown was acquitted to-day of the charge
of murder. The trial began on Dec. 8.
Chesrown killed constable and his dep
uty, who were trying to serve a writ of
habeas corpus. issued by the probate
court. which called for Chesrown's
father, who had been placed in Elias
charge by a former decision of the
court. The service of the writ had once
been enioined by the common pleas
court. The murder grew out of
quarrel between the five Chesrown
brothers over the possession of the
father, and the case was involved in
legal tangle, that puzzled nearly all OF
the LAWYERS.

Alleged White caps Warn the at

Order League.
Special To the Globe.
SIOUX CITY, To-, Jan. l2.-The saloon
element that has been quiet here for the
past eighteen months, is by no means
dead. The law has been violated when
ever possible, and the law and order
league is kept busy ferretting out cases
of illegal sales. Not a week passes but
from twt{to dozen arrests are made.
The officers of this organization are
subjected to all kinds of abuse, and
lately the bum element has grown
bolder. The attorney for the league is
p. Ii. Grimm, who devoteS good share
of his time to liquor prosecution, and is
particularly hated by the liquor element.
His friends have often cautioned him to
be Oh his guard at all times lest per-
sonal violence be attempted. To-day
he received the following letter sur
mounted by skull and cross bones.
"SiOux City. Jan. II. 1SS9.-Mr. Philip II.
Grimm attorney at law. Dear Sir:--No doubt
you have been aware of the order known as
the White Caps. You can, therefore, take
due notice from this warning. Liberal citI-
Zens Of Sioux City have come to the c0nclu-
sion that you are pupnc nuisance anu your
departure from the city is demanded at once;
If you do not leave at once you can depend
that we will call on you In full force. A
word to the wise is sufficient. NED,
Commander-Ordero of White Caps"
Mr.. GRIMM expresses no fear and says
the matter is but bluff. Persons who
know the deep feeling of revenge
harbored bya certain class would not be
surprised at repetition of the Haddock
tragedy that grew out Of the same class

Fiendish Murder Of a Mother

WICHITA, Kan., Jan. 12.-There has
for year past been a serious conflict
between the towns of Clarion and
ingalls,. The county offices, excepting
clerk and surveyor, have been at In
gals for nearly year. At recent
election Mr.. Watson, an ingalls, mall,
was elected clerk, bCt the commission
ers refused to canvass the vote until the
supreme court issued an order
for them to do so last Mon
day. This morning several deputy
sheriffs went to Cimarron to
place Watson, the clerk-elect, in the
Office and to remove the county records
to ingalls,, where they were fired on by
mob OF from 2U0 to 800 Cimarron
sympathiZers. The shots were returned
with vengeance. and when the firing
ceased it was found that j. N. English
and j. Bliss, two prominent
citizens of Cimaron. were killed,
and quite number wounded.
George w. Bolds, deputy sheriff.
was shot in tile leg, and Lemual
Breeks and e. ROthfelter, two other
deputies, received flesh wounds in the
arm and head. The Cimarron people
became inturiated over the killing of
their two leading citizens. and charged
in a body upon brick building in
which Watson and two deputies had
taken refuge. At last accounts firing
was going Oh at intervals between be-
sieged and beslegers, the latter using
house corners and other places for
shelter. If Watson and the dep
utles fall into the hands of
the Cimarron people, they will
all be hung and their only safety is in
the timely arrival of outside assistance.
Gov. Martin has telegraphed Gen. NJ.
Myers, of this city, directing him to
send company of militia to Cimnar-
ron at once to preserve the peace and to
go himself and if he finds one company

Australian plan; by Dollard, an act to
deduct the amount OF mortgage from the

Pal altridge proposed a measure requiring

ness in the case of acceptance of usury :;
by Fletcher, abolishing the foreclosure
of real estate mortgages by advertise
ment and substituting legal action; by
Potter, regulating the license and sale
of liquors. The appropriation for pub
lie printing passed both branches.
While the house was discussing the
rules a committee of the whole, the
first II SelY tilt of the .eSSiOn occurred
on the proposed rul3 to allow
any alliance measure to be brought up
at any time on majority vote. 1t was
supported by the candidates, defeated by
farmers and voted down by the alliance
men, reported unfavorably to the house,
amended so as to include all measures
of every description and passed by a
good majority. A spirited scramble
after committee clerkShipS occurred in
both houses, and a train load of defeated
candidates leave for home tonight. An
effort was made to pour oil on the
troubled waters in the council by giving
friends OF the roaring minority all these
positions and now there is revolt on the
other side, but the suckers have no vote
of consequence and all is well. The
committee on election decided to take
up the Walsh Winship contest case in

Fiendish Crime of an Alabama
Negro.
Special to the Globe.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 12-Another
double crime was probably committed
to-day upon Mrs. j. S. Kellam, wife of
the boss repairer of the Pratt Mines.
and his little nine-year-old son Willie.
At about II o'clock this morning Mrs.
Kellam went out short distance from
the Catholic church at Pratt Mines, and
was accosted by yellow mulatto, who
insisted upon helping her finding a
q stray COW, but before reaching the
spot the negro hit her fearful blow
on the head with club, telling her to
the earth. The screams of her son, who
was with her at the time, attracted the
attention of the aSSailant and he turned
his fury upon him, killing him outright
with one blow of his club. The negro
then took through the woods and
made good his escape. The mothers
screams attracted the attention of
man running stationary engine not
far off, and he ran to the rescue. When
he reached the spot Mrs. Kellam had
tainted. Additional help was sum-
moned, and the mother and son the
latter deaQ-Were taken nome. AS soon
as the horrible news was known at the
mines the superintendent ordered the
bloodhounds put the track of the mur-
derer. They proved worthless.
Three negroes were arrested, but
Mrs. Kellam, who is not yet
dead. failed to identify them
and the murderer is supposed to be at
hiding somewhere in the old negro dens
i'm the city. Detectives are at work, ,and
if caught, the murderer will be lynched
before Sheriff Joe Smith can have
chance to protect him. The object OF
the assault is supposed to have been an
intended outrage upon the re-
spectacle lady. Crowds here to-
night threatened to burn the
murderer if captured, and posses
on foot and on horseback armed with
Winchesters, are securing the country.
The excitement at Pratt's Mills to-
night over the murder of Mrs. Kellam
and her son is intense. Armed citizens
are searching in all directions for the

WHITNEY's KIND WORDS.
The Secretary of the Navy Con-
graduates the Builders of the
Cruiser Vesuvius.

CRUISER teSuV1uS.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Secretary
Whitney to-day received the official re-
port from Lieuts. COwles, Schroeder
and Fiske. the government officials who
witnessed the official speed trial of the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius near Della
ware Breakwater yesterday. The re-
suit of the trial, as stated in the United
Press dispatches last night, showed an
or 1.6 knots above the requirements of
the contract. To-day the secretary ad-
dressed the following communication to
the builders of the vessel:
William Cramps Sons, Philadelphia. Gen
tlemen: forward to you herewith copy
of the report of the board appointed by the
department to witness the speed trial OF the
'sVesuvius, and also copy OF the indorse-
ment which I have placed upon the report,
showing the action of the department
thereon. The results recorded in this rel ort
surpass all previous records wherever made
the size and character of vessel and the
weight carried being cCnsidered-and ten
der you the congratulations of tie depart
ment thereon. Very respectfully.
W. G. WHITNEY, Secretary OF the Navy.
The Endorsement referred to in this
letter, from the secretary, reads as fol-
lows:
Navy Department, Jan. IL, 19s9.--This is
a satisfactory demonstration so Tar as the
speed of the vessel is concerned-tnat she
answers the requirements of the statute. The
difficulty experienced in finding the
necessary depth of water and proper place
for the trial in the Delaware caused the de-
partment to vary the test slightly from the
one named in the contract, so that instead of
running four times over a mile course she
has made two runs over two-and a-half-
mile course She has exceeded the require
ments by the wide margin of 1.646 knots.
The method of establishing speed is left to
the regulation of the department, and The
above result is satisfactory.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis. Dec. IA
week ago, when the newly elected
county officers took their respective otfi-
ces at the courthouse, the books OF the
retiring county treasurer, Cournoyer,
showed that $1,000 was due the county
which had not been turned over to the
new treasurer. Cournoyer asked that
he be given one week to bring forth the
missing funds, which request was
granted, but at the adjourned meeting
of the commissioners to-day the com
mittee appointed for the purpose OF in
specting the books, and ascertaining eX-
actly the amount of his shortage, re-
ported that the amount had not yet been
replaced, and a resolution was adopted
holding Cournoyer's bondsmen respon-
sible for the money. and inStructing the
chairman to proceed, according to law,
for the recovery of the books. papers,
etc, which had also been held back.
Cournoyer had held Office for four years,
having been elected in 1884 on the DEM
ocratic ticket, and reelected in 1886.
The money required to straighten up
his accounts will doubtless be furnished
by his friends before action is taken to
recover from the bOndsmen.

General Sewall, of Samoa, concerning
the condition of affairs in the islands Of
that group. 1t was continued on the
lines laid down yesterday. but went
more largely into the relations of the
several governments interested in the
maintenance of all orderly condition Of
affairs on the islands, and therefore was
more confident in its nature. The SUBJ
stance Of Mr.. SewalPS statement, which
reviewed in great detail the events of
the past few years, and the present un-
fortunate situation there, is that it is
due, not to any action on the part of the
representatives of the United States.
but to the fermentation by interested
foreigners, Of native dissension, and to
the desire exhibited in marked degree
by those in charge of local German in
terestS to obtain personal and CONNER
cial advantages and political suprem-
acy.
Mr.. Sewall has been requested to re-
main over and appear before the COM
mittee again Monday.

SIMPLY A SPECULATION.

New YORK. Jan. 12.-The fishing
steamer Novelty. whose name has re-
Gently been changed to the Mercedes
under the direction of the Dominican
consul, who purchased her a
short time ago, sailed for Sa-
mana Ithis morning. The consul
purchased her in Boston. He told re-
porter to-day that he bought her merely
on speculation, and he sent her to his
brother, who is his agent, to sell her to
the highest bidder. He did not care
who purchased her. Either Hyppolite
or Legitime could purchase her if they
paid enough. The stories of her having
guns in her hold were false, and she
was not going on filibustering eXpedi-
tion as has been reported.
