THE FOURTH AT TOSTON.

A VIVA and woolly Time At the smelter
Town.
TOWNSEND, July Especial. The glori-
ous Fourth with it's prelude and adenda
passed OF splendidly at this point. At our
neiRhboring town of Toston, twelve
miles above, there were several tragic and
exciting incidents during the days of the
Fourth and 9Th. The town itself consists
largely Of what the local smelter plant
makes it. The smelter had been running
for q few weeks, and having to shut down
for some repairs, the men were paid off in
time for the national holiday, and
there being neither court nor con-
stable nearer than Townsend q general
ro-se- you-please sort of celebration took
place. Two we'll known characters fought

THE DAY APPOINTED.
The Death Warrant of VIM. Rose Signed
by Gov. Merriam.

Sheriff Mead received from Gov
Merriam's Office few days ago his Of
fetal warrant for the execution of VIM
Rose. The document is engrossed in
an ordinary business form, with type
writer, and stamped with the Govern
or's seal at the bottom of the second
page. After quoting large portion
of Judge Webber's sentence, the war
rant directs the sheriff to carry the
sentence into execution on the 18th
day of April friday before sunrise,in
accordance with the statute governing
such executions in this state.
While the duty thus imposed upon
Sheriff Mead is not an agreeable one,
he will proceed with the necessary
preparations very soon, and unless the
attorneys of Rose succeed in getting
an appeal to the Supreme court, the
doomed man will suffer the penalty
for his crime, somewhere in the vicin-
ity of the court house in this place, on
the day above appointed.

It was known last week that the
members of the jury which found
Holden guilty were indignant over
certain implications in . recent editor
ial in the Reveille, and in commune
cation elsewhere they give voice to
their sentiments in terms rather more
forcible than courteous. In fairness
to the jury, their spokesman is allowed
to answer the insinuations against
them in his own words, but in the
same spirit toward our neighbor, we
are bound to say thatwe don't remem-
Der that the Objectionable article dealt
in anything like billingsgate. Jury
men are but men, however, and there
fore disposed to resent published
statements rejecting on their intelli-
gence and judgment.
The jury which tried Holden was al
most universally commended at the
time of the verdict, and the statements
of Holden just before sentence was
pronounced upon him are entitled to
no more weight with the public than
were given them by the court.
The Reveille cites Mr.. Orlando Grey
as having identified Dodge on our
streets the night before he was shot.
Our opinion is that Mr.. Grey is honest
in his belief, but his evidence before
Holden's arrest was not considered
either positive or convincing. If it had
been, certainly Holden's attorneys, in
justice to their client, would have
made the most of it at the trial.
But the statement of the jury as to
their positive conviction, after hearing
all the evidence, that Holden is guilty,
is entitled to more weight than any
editorial comment, and when the jury
is made up of men of such high char
acter as those on the Holden jury, their
verdict is sufficient and final for the
great majority of their fellow citizens.
The public does not thirst for Holden's
blood, but it demands justice, and the
enforcement of the law against the
awful crime of murder.
That our readers may recall the
character of the jury, we print the fol-
lowing names, as copied from the rec
ords of the Clerk of Court:
T. L. Gilbert, Thomas Martin, Jas
Smith, w. S. Brewster, S. w. Hub
bard, Halvor johnson, NJ. O. Gimme
stad, S. T. Porter, Thos. Dennistoun,
John Tabor, Henry Redford, George
Johnson.

RECOMMENDATION FOR MERCY

CONTEMPORARIES.
An article in the Reveille of Feb
ruary ed attackedlthe jury in the Hol-
den case in q first class Billingsgate
and mud-slinging style, but as it is
well known in this vicinity that that
organ is sympathizer with criminals
and shielder of crime the jury heed
it not. It also refers to additional ev-
idence, which the jury are reliably in
formed was fully investigated prior to
the time of Holden's arrest.
| There was sufficient evidence in the
case and given upon the trial thereof
to satisfy any reasonable man of the
gull of Holden out side of any state
ment or confession he made, and Judge
Weber and the Supreme Court have
each so decided, the Reveille to the
contrary Notwithstanding. We as
members of the jury which tried Hol-
den gave the case due consideration
and full discussion, and took one and
one-half days in celebrating upon our
verdict and know that that which the
jury did was done under the honest
conviction that the defendant was
guilty beyond a possible doubt, and
each and every man on that jury was,
at the time it agreed upon its verdict
as positive of the guilt of the defend
ant as though he personally saw the
defendant discharge the fatal shot.
And the only reason why the jury rec
commended the defendant to the mer-
cy of the court was, because at that
time we supposed he was not very
bright fellow, and some of us were op-
posed to capital punishment. That the
defendant Holden was foolish fellow
he fully disproved in his speech to the
court at the time he was sentenced. If
the Reveille will take the pains to
publish the evidence given upon the
trial of the case that it has to publish
what people, who are not under oath,
say they would testify to if on the
witness stand, the people, like the jury,
will say no matter what Mr.. O. Grey
and others testify to, the defendant is
guilty as charged in the indictment.
This man, Orlando Grey, was witness
for the defense in certain othcr Grim
inal case tried in this county and re-
gardless of his evidence defendants
we're convicted.
The Reveille would write over the
prison cell door of every guilty MUIR
derer mot GUILTY." and over the
door of every juror who obeyed the
obligations of his oath LIAR AND
PERJURER." But, regardless of the
Reveille, the jurors of Redwood coun-
ty will write over the door of every
home in this county as its motto,
protected by the sanctity of Jurors
oath, regardless of the opinion of any
newspaper"

Rose and Holden at New Ulm.


In an interview with the St. Paul
Dispatch, Sheriff Schmidt, of Brown
county, furnishes the following con-
corning the two murderers under his
charge: Rose is cheerful, but Holden
is feeling very down-hearted. The
formers three months of Imprisonment
expires on the 26th of March, but there
is an attempt being made to secure
for him a new trial. Holden has but
entered upon his three months of sol,
itary confinement, and there is very
little chance of his escaping the pen,
atty of the law, as his case has been
before the supreme court. The pris-
oner, however, thinks that he will yet
be free man. Before his sentence
was pronounced, several weeks ago, he
was very hopeful. He wrote to his
mother in Rochester that when the
time arrived for his sentence he be.
lieved the courage of the officers would
fail and they would never sentence
him to death. At the time he received
sentence he made a speech of half an
hour but he failed to make the expect
ed impression upon the officers of the
court.

that the disability wasn't covered by
the policy. Col. Philbrick then mus.

Redwood County Alliance.

A regular meeting of the Redwood
County Alliance was held in the Allen
schoolhouse Saturday of last week, at
2 o'clock p. M, for the purpose of
electing delegate to the state conven-
ton, which meets Feb. 18th at St. Paul.
A. D. Stewart was elected as dele
gate, and was requested by the ALI
ance to use his influence in securing
legislation on the present warehouse
laws; also, to advocate the adoption Of
the Australian system of voting, and
to have the rate of contract interest re-
duced from 10 to 8 per cent.
The union of the Northern Alliance
with that of the South was discussed
with interest, as it embraces certain
features that concerns every member,
especially those in the north. Various
other questions were taken up and dis
cussed with unusual interest. Among
them was the present system of tariff
taxation, which received an overhaul
ing and was pronounced by the ma
jority of those present, I think, detri-
mental to the interests of the farmer.
Arrangements were made to hold a
picnic in JAS. Longbottom's grove the
second Thursday in June, at which
time a free for all discussion as to the
advantage of the alliance forming q
new political party would be part Of
the program.

Post Office Removal,

Postmaster Mckay has decided to
remove the postoffice from its present
location, about the first of April next to
the land Office building in the rear of
the Dunningtsn block. Capt. Dun
nington will enlarge the building with
an extension at the rear, and make
such other Improvements as will fur
nish sufficient light and room for the
requirements of the public business.
While the new location will be rather
more central than before, the change
will inevitably disappoint business men
on Second street, though we doubt
whether the postofGce location is of as
much Importance as some suppose.
