Hollcr Was Il Bad Man.

The Ioller tragedy, in account of
which appeared in the PRESS last
week, resulted in bringing Il bit OF his
previous history to the surface. John
Huller WAS II former resident of
Stearns county. Minnesota, and while
there he bore the reputation of being
Il hard character. While living there
with II former wife they got into trou-
bic very frequently with their neigh
burs and one day attacked il llei1lll'of
by the name of Henry Mounen, with Il
pitcllfork and TX and in the fight the
woman Was killed by Moomen, which
probably accounts for the story that
Holler had killed his former wife.
Moone!l WAS tried for killing the wo-
man aud acquitted on the grounds OF
self defense, the evidence clearly
showing that both Holler and the wo-
man had made desperate efforts on
the life of the defendant. Mr.. Moo
nen is still residing in Minnesota and
highly respected by his leishbors.
| Soon after this tragedy Heller mar
ried the wuin, he murdered here.
He seems to have had a mania for
burning buildings and incendiaryism
not new to him when he came here,
as his house and barn in Stearns coun-
ty were burned one night and the
companies III which he carried lnsur'
ance on the buildings refused to pay
the policies, having secured sufficient
evidence that he set them on fire. lie
soon left that section and came here
and nothing had been heard of him 10y
his former neighbors until he enacted
the bloody crime here last week, and
took his own life. He was Il UUllan.
der by birth.

MONSIEUR'S LITTLE GAME.
How French Matrimonial Agent Doomed
His Business.

A matrimonial agent at Levallois-
Perret, a suburb of Paris, who had
special line of business, has just de-
camped with the money of numerous
victims. He had as his clients none
but plain or ugly damsels with dow
ries, who found difficulty in getting
OFF, by reason of their lack of per-
sonal attractions, for although the
great bulk of Gauls have a strong par
tiality for dots. they do not care to be
tied for life to a lady who has nothing
to recommend her but her lucre. The
absconding undertaken of weddings
had neat way of his own of reconcil-
ing intending bridegrooms to the pros
pect of double-blessedness with danes
whose features were the reverse of
fair. at the same time that he enabled
his lady clients to change their names
and find apparently eligible partners.
He simply had select stock of private
friends. or rather confederates, who
took over the ladies and large
Jumps of their dowries, and
then, after few weeks or
months. decamped most ignOminious-
ly from the spouses whom they had
promise to love and cherish. The
agent, of course, received large COM
missions from the ladies, and more
over obtained sums of money from the
fugitive husband. The system worked
beautifully for a time-so far as the
agent and his confederates were con-
cerned. Money rolled into his office,
until one day lately he was suddenly
confronted by some of his outraged
clients, who. after sad experience, had
seen through his ''littie game" These
ladies told their stories, complained
that bad characters had been foisted
upon them as husbands, and threat
ened to take legal proceedings against
their victimizer. The agent replied in
his blandest manner that he could not
guarantee exemplary husbands whose
conduct would be such as to keep the
course of married life forever smooth
and pleasant. When his clients, how
ever, went away, the matrimonial
operator, remembering the threats
about legal proceedings, fguratively
