SHE GETS ONE DOLLAR.
A Libel Suit in Which Not a Wit
ness Was Sworn.

There was another libel suit on trial
yesterday in Judge LOchren's room, in
which Julia Ann Voorhees, was seeking
to prove that she was entitled to recover
$4,000 from Grin Albee, the father of
Charles Albee, who sued the Pioneer
Press. 1t was a peculiar case. in that
Albee is an old man, now sick in Iowa,
which compelled the attorney for the
defense to enter court with neither
client nor witnesses; that the plaintiff
is the defendants mother-in-law, and
that the libel appeared in private let
ter which Albee had written to friend
setting forth that Mrs. Voorhees, had
stolen his ring. The defense practi
cally admitted what was charged. and
the case was gwen to the jury without
any witnesses having been sworn. A
verdict for 81 was returned in favor of
the plaintiff.

BEFORE THE JURY.
The Suit for Libel Against Fanny
Davenport Under Considera-

Inc suit IOr IIDeI against Fanny
Davenport Under Considera-
tiOn.
Friday evening, when all of the evil
dence in the libel cases of Lotto and
Williams against Fanny Davenport had
been taken, Judge Dittenhoefer made a
long argument on motion that the
court instruct the jury to return a YER
dict for the defendant, on the ground
that the plaintiffs had not shown that
they had been damaged by the mott. 0
which Miss Davenport had posted COZ =
cerning them. Besides the attorneys
in the case there were good many
spectators present yesterday morning
to hear Judge Smiths decision on the
motion. All the center of interest in
the case-Miss Davenport-had gone
back to New York. In a few words
the court denied the motion, and
said that the jury must con-
sideR the matter. The arguments

STRONG OPPOSITION.
Both Sides Working on the Hem
nepin Car Line Scheme.

nepin Car Line Scheme.
The proposition to establish a car line
on Hennepin avenue is meeting with a
good deal of lively opposition. Those
who favor the scheme are not idle either,
and both fsctI9ps are working tooth and
nall to carry their point. Those who
favor the car line on the boulevard have
two petitions in circulation, one ad-
dressed to the council, asking
that body to make the order, and
another to the park board asking that
seven feet from each side of the drive
way be given for the line. j. B. Tabour
is at the head of the opposition. He
argues that the line on Hennepin would
injure property on that avenue, and
would furnish no advantages that could
not be realized by building a line out
Kenwood to Humboldt, and on that ave-
nue. to the lakes. MIR. Tabour has a
long list of petitioners who oppose the
movement. One point to be raised will
be whether the land once given for a
boulevard could be used for street car.

DISPOSITION OF GARBAGE.

a proposition will be made to the
council at its next meeting to adopt the
Mertz system for the disposition of
garbage. Several members OF the coun-
Gil went to st. Paul last week to inspect
its operations, and those who went are
quite generally in favor of receiving a
proposition from the company. 1t is
probable that a special committee will
be appointed to consider recommends
tiOn in regard to the communication.
DR.. Kilvington has openly expressed
himself as opposed to the system, ana it
is so with other members of the board
of health, so that the matter will not go
through without struggle. The main
objections advanced are not against the
system, but its cost. 1t is claimed that
with the other Improvements now being
made in the city the outlay required
Will be too large. 1t is estimated that
the adoption of this system would cost
e25, 900 a year.

Indigestion

is not only distressing complaint, Of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me. and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until / commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease Of life"

BrslxAlcx, Nov. N.-[Special. THE air
Il full Of rumors tonight Of an outbreak
among tho Sioux Indians at Standing Rock
agency, with Sitting Bull in the lead.
Their religious craze has finally worked
them into fighting humor and they are no
longer under control Of the agent or mill
tary forces at Fort Yates. There are but o
few companies Of soldiers at Fort Yates,
insufficient to quell an outbreak Of tho
1000 well armed savages. The city Of
Mandan, which 10 the nearest town TO the
agency, is in great excitement. Tonight
q public meeting Of citizens was held and
steps taken for the protection Of the city.
A strong detachment of militia from Fort
Keogh is expected on the train early In the
morning and another large force Of soldiers
both will proceed to the scene Of action. It
has Just been discovered that civilized 1ndi.
ans have from time to time been buying
up gums and ammunition, paying exorbi-
tant prices, sometimes giving SIS pony in
exchange for q gun worth no moro than %,
and now there are no guns or ammunition
left and the town is practically without
protection. Citizens have armed them
selves as best they could tonight in antici-
patton Of surprise before day dawn. It 10
expected the governor will order out the
militia tomorrow. This part Of the coun-
try has become thoroughly alarmed at the
prospect Of repetition Of the bloody
Indian campaign Of 1876. Excitement is at
q high pitch tonight, and definite news of
the Indians movement is not obtainable.

CHrcAoo, Nov. 17.-Gen. Miles, accom-

ing from ST. Louis, where be yesterday
had . oonsultation with Secretary Of War
Proctor concerning the alleged Indian
trouble in the northwest. Col. Corbin said
to-day that there is no doubt that if the In
dians were to decide upon an outbreak
they could do much harm. They have an
abundance of rifles and ammunition, plenty
Of horses and large supplies Of meat. But
winter is coming on and the officers hardly
think there is any immediate danger of an
outbreak. Col. Corbin said the stories of
the evacuation Of districts by set
tiers in North Dakota are
overdrawn. There may be some
residents who, fearing the redskins, may
have left their homes. but the stories Of
wholesale excavations are absolutely with
out foundation. 1--WE have made," he said.
"a careful estimate of the number affected
by the messiah craze. and there are in all
not to exceed 10000 Indians. OF this num-
Der perhaps one-ffth are able bodied war
riors, and one-half, or 1900, could bear
arms. Such . body, Of course, could do
much harm IL their movements were not
properly arrested, but we have taken meas-
ures to intercept any outbreak"

Ths Victim Had Interfered In pravone :
Row-Mosier Hiding In the
Mountains.

LGvRosToN, Nov. H. special. l--Fritz
1rettinRer was shot and instantly killed at
Gokedals last night by Wiban Mosier. The
facs OF the case as near as can be learned
4re substantially as follows: Mosier and
&rettmaer with some other German miners
were at the house of Frank Plartner. They
had keg Of beer on tap and were all feel
ing pretty we'll. 1osier walked mp 20 q
man named Valentine Egbert And pro-
oeeded to pull his nose. Brettinger inter-
fered. though it was stated before the ooro-
nsr that the nose pulling operation was
dame playfully and in fun. However this
may be short scuffle ensued between Bret
finger and Mosier and the latter was
pushed to sitting posture on a chest in
one corner OF the room. II was evident
that he was mad at Brettinger and he sud-
denly arose exclaiming that he would die
that night, that he belonged to two
lodges and that his family would
be taken care Of. He then went out Of the
house. Shortly afterwards those within
heard shot outside but paid but little
attention and Q moment later ball came
through the window hitting Brettinger just
above the right eye, passed through his
brain and lodged in one Of the logs Of the
house. Brettinger fell exclaiming, '.I'm
shOt," and instantly expired. There was
talk Of lynchinR Mosier but he could not be
found. Under Sheriff Sam jackson was
notified and he has men in every direction
70 apprehend the murderer.
About daylight this morning Mosier
called at the house Of Mrs. Callan,. at Coke
dale, after her husband had gone to work.
He was in his shirt sleeves and seemed
nearly frozen. He requested Of Mrs. Call
Ian some food and knife with which to
ont his throat. He was given food and as
be left the house he was beset by Callan's
dogs and threatened to shoot them.
Il was supposed from the way
10 spoke that he had Are
arms. Il is quite certain that
Mosier is hiding in the mountains near
Cokedale and it is possible that some Of his
friends are assisting him to keep in hiding.
No doubt before to morrow Sheriff jackson
yill havs him Ia jail. 8. Hosford, police
xaRjatrats of 1isinRstcn, acting as ooro-
nor, held an inquest at Cokedale to day and
the jury returned verdict in accordance
with the above.
Fritz Brettinger, the murdered man, was
an unmarried German about thirty years
Of age. He has worked in the mines at
Cokedale, as has his murderer, some time.
1t is not known that he has relatives in this
country. Mosier is also. German, about
thirty-6ve years old. He has wife and
two children at Cokedale. The body OF
Brettinger was buried late this afternoon.
