lar circumstance in this city
Mr.. Williamson, the carpenter on
the boats tied up here: has cat
and not long since she gave birth
to litter of kittens, making her
bed in one of the hens nests III
his barn. At the time MIR. Will
hanson had an old hen that wanted
to set and after repeated efforts to
keep her from it she was given her
way, and at one time while the
mother of the kittens happened
to wander away from her "bables," "
this hen flew into the nest and at
once began to hover the kits just
the same as though they were her
own little chicks. When the cat
went to where she left her young
the hen went for her and succeed
ed in driving her away, in fact she
has done this so often that the
Door kittenless cat has become
estranged from the kittens and
10 longer seeks after them. Mr.
Williamson says he did all he
could to prevent the hen from do
ing this but she was, after a while,
allowed to care for them. She
will fly off the nest and call for
the kits to follow her, and when
they are placed on the ground
where she is she will commence a
vigorous scratching Of the dirt
hunting for food and when she has
found any particle she carries it
TO her adopted young just the
same as though they were of her
own two legged teathery kind.
This certainly is curious freak
on the part of the hen kind, and
no doubt the kittens are meditat-
ing what to do when the time
arrives for their new-fangled
mother to present her-bill. Z.

where this scribe sees any lndica-

more conducting the same kind of
a business, and during the past
summer season coined money all
over, and now comes here to spend
it with the Corvailisites. 1t is to
be hoped that he will make sue

places that are now running in
this city, the prospects for doing
very lucratives business in this
new venture are very slim.

A BIRD OF A CAsE.-On Satur-
day warrant was sworn out for
the arrest of M. H. Drummond, a
relative of James Taylor, the
butcher, by L. Scott Irwin, accus-
ing him OF killing and having in
his possession the festive Chinese
pheasant. The case was tried on
Monday before jury of six men,
which by the way, was very hard
to secure. They were given the
case about five o'clock that night
and remained out until Tuesday
morning, when they finally disa-
greed. Five were for acquittal
and one for conviction. A great
deal of interest was manifested in
this case and public sympathy
seemed to be with Mr.. Drummond
1t might be said that if every per-
son in this city, who has killed this
one species of bird, was prosecuted
and fine received therefrom,
Benton county would be as free as
Vanderbilt from indebtedness.
Mr.. Irwin is no longer in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Taylor-he has re-
signed.
BURNED.-The barn situated on
one of the farms OF A. Gellatly,
about two miles southwest of
Philomath, was burned on Satur-
day afternoon last, and only by
the greatest effort were the house
and outbuildings adjoining saved.
Mr.. Gellatly and family were in
Corvallis at the time, and the hirek
man had gone down near the creek
which flows near by to burn some
brush and, while burning, the
sparks were carried to the barn
causing its loss. The contents,
consisting of a. mower and some
hay, it is learned, were consumed.
A new building will be erected

the Northern Pacific railroad, who
leaves tomorrow for Milwaukee to as
sumo the general managersh ip OF the
Wisconsin Central railroad. was born in
Sandusky, o., December Is, 1S4S. In
1864 he entered the railroad business as
clerk and errand boy in the general
freight Office of Mad River 4 Lake
Erie railroad. at SanduSky. o. The fol-
lowing year he became chief clerk and
cashier of the local freight Office, hold
ing the place till May 5, 1869. For four
months he filed the same place on the
Kansas Pacific, at Lawrence, Kan,
when he was made agent at Hays, Kan.
He filled the position of agent
at Kit Carson, Col. and West Las
Animas until 1874, when he
was appointed local agent at Denver
and general agent for Colorado. In 1876
he became superintendent of the Smoky
Hill division of the same road; in 1878
general freight and ticket agent of the
Denver IL Rio Grande, but after three
months was made traffic manager of the
same road. In April, 1882, he was ap-
pointed superintendent of the Yellow
stone and Montana divisions of the

came assistant general manager and
general superintendent, which positions
he has held ever since. When F. F.
Oakes succeeded Robert Harris as presi-
dent last year, Mr.. Ainslie was elected
vice-president. He is one of the most
experienced and able railroad men in
the country and has made himself re-
markably popular during his stay in st.
Paul, both among railroad men and
socially. He is a very hard worker,
thinking nothing of sitting up in his
office engaged in work until midnight
when necessary. His departure is mi
versally regretted by all who know him.

Peter Monson. of Isanti county, ap-
pealed upon one point against his con-
viction-that the Indictment did not

The defect suggested was that the name
of the defendant was not reported in
the commencement of the Indictment
after the title of the action, thus: 1.-The
State of Minnesota vs.. Peter Monson.
Accused by the grand jury by
this indictment of committed

the appeal is. wholly without merit;
that the defendant could not possibly
have been prejudiced by the fact that
his name on the title is used as the
subject of the verb in the commence
ment," which is, strictly speaking, no
part of the indictments Judgment
affirmed. il. B. Forrest was appellants

board of public works to McMilIen &

A General Allegation.

The st. Croix Boom company is sue
cessful in its appeal against the First
National bank of Anoka, the court de-
Gliding where a pleading sets out the
facts by which the party claims to have
acquired title to property, followed by a
general allegation of ownership as re-
suit of such facts, the particular facts
alleged will control. and if they are in
sufficient to sustain such result the
pleading is out. In an action for wrong
full conversion it is not necessary to
plead the specific acts constituting the
alleged conversion. A general allega-
ton that the defendant has wrongfully
converted is sufficient. Order reversed.

UNIQUE AND NiEATY.

Prof. J. L. Noyes, superintendent OF
the deaf and dumb institution at Fari-
bault was at the capitol yesterday. Mr.
Moves is gentleman pleasant to meet
in conversation, and is always full OF
appropriate suggestions relating to the
work in which he is engaged. He made
an excellent suggestion yesterday-that
it would be good thing to have the
manual alphabet, such as is used by the
deaf and dumb. placed in all primary
school books, and that its use be taught
the children.
Prof. Kirk, standing by, ventured the
opinion that the use of the alphabet
would enable the urchins to take ad-
vantage of their teachers during the
sessions of the school, though he could
foreSee the great advantages which
would accrue from the general use OF
the alphabet.
Prof. Noyes was confident that the
advantages would more than counter
balance any disadvantages. For exam
pie, lady wishes to speak to the SER
want at table and does not care to have
the company hear. or suppose III the

Maj. Vorey, Charged With
Rape, Is Whitewashed by
the Supreme Court.
A Trial Judges Error Enables
the Gallant Major to
Go Scot Free.
The OfRense Was Committed
on an Old Woman Fifty
Seven Years.
Legal Precedents as Estab-
lished by the Appellate
Contributes.

Maj. Vorey. of Clay county, is sue
cessfuI in his appeal against the state,
upon an error of the trial court. Ap-
pellant was indicted for rape. In a
prosecution for rape, under section 235,
there are five several distinct acts or
ways by which person may commit
the crime of rape, the second Of which
is when the resistance of the female is
overcome by force, and the third when
her resistance is prevented by fear of
immediate and great bodily harm. The
indictment in this case was framed
under the third subdivision, and
upon the trial the court instructed
the Jury that there was no evidence to
justify conviction under this subdi-
vision. but that they might convict the
defendant under the second subdivision.
"This last" says the court, "was clear
ly error because, for the reasons already
suggested, this was not the offense
charged in the indictment. Vorey was
committed at the city of Moorhead, jan
uary, 1889, before Hon. Ira B. Mills. on
a charge of rape upon Fanny Miller,
aged fifty-Seven years.
