He Despoiled a County Of Hts Cash-His>
Arrest.
The sheriff Of Riley county, Kansas, has
arrived in Memphis to. take charge of
James Fortney, the absconding treasurer
of that county, who was arrested on board
the City Of Cairo. At present Fortney
owns valuable farm near Manhattan, and
has an interest in two iron foundries, one,
at Manhattan and the other at Des Moines,,
Ia. The exact amount OF shortage is $780,
SAT. He was elected treasurer Of Riley.
county for four years., qualifying.
under bond of $125,0OO. A year
ago shortage in his accounts was
suspected and suit was. brought to have the
books investigated. He won the case. and
no further efforts wera made to have an in
vestigation until six months, later, when a
second suit was entered and resulted in
mandamus to compel him to. show the,
books. Hearing Of the writ, Fortney locked
the vault in which the county funds were
kept and avoided the sheriff by going to
Canada. He returned about four months
ago, and, it is claimed, robbed the vault
and again skipped out. He was followed
to questionable house In st. Louis where
he met his inamorata. AS Fortney had
only 1920 in his possession when arrested
and is supposed to have absconded with
thousands, Sheriff McCord thinks the cy-
prian secured the lions share of the money.

THE EMPERoR.s SAY.
Wilhelm Voices His Hopes, and Fears !,
fore the Prussian Diet.

Wilhelm Voices His Hopes and Fears Re
fore the Prussian Diet.
The emperor in his speech opening the
Prussian diet expressed profound sorrow
for the death of the Dowager Empress Au-
gusta. The finances of Prussia. the en-
peror said, are in favorable condition.
Although the revenue for the next few
fiscal years is not expected to equal 1889
the expenses will not be decreased. The
matlicular contributions for, 1891 will be
largely increased. A bill providing for
reform in taxation will be submitted. A
bill will also be submitted providing for
the extension Of the state railway net
work. The harvest of 1889 was deficient,
but owing to the imperial customs and ar
rangements regarding agriculture it is
hoped the effect Of the shortage will be
overcome without permanent prejudice.
The recent strikes, the emperor said, had
clouded the prospects of trade, but he was
rejoiced that the employers had removed
the workingmen's grievances and hoped the
strikes would not recur. The emperor ex-
pressed the belief that the artisan class
would constantly become more satisfied
with their position.

TO SAVE A WORTHLESS NECK.
Great Efforts Making to Save Halves from
Fall

Great EfOrts Making to Save HaWes from
the GallOws.
The news that the Alabama supreme
court had affirmed the decision of the lower
court cordemning Dick Hawes to death
for the murder of his little daughter May,
this being the first OF the indictments
against him for the murder Of his wife and
two daughters, was received at Birming-
ham with almost universal satisfaction.
There was not feeling of disappointment
at the decision of the supreme court, but
one of relief in the community in general.
The decision was rendered by Justice Nc
Clelland, and the time fixed for the execu-
ton is Friday, Feb. IS. Halves is kept in
close confinement and not allowed to see
or talk to any one. His counsel announced
their determination to apply for a writ Of
habeas corpus before federal court, and
failing in this they will appeal to the SUI
prems court of the United States, claiming
aviolation of the rights granted all citizens
by the constitution of the United States.
The fight to save Halves neck will proba
bly, yet be long and bitter.

Montana began the new year without al
dollar of indebtedness, and with a, cash
balance in the treasury. State Auditor

governor for the last year and has placed
1t in the hands Of the printer. The total
assessment Of the state is $79,376, 944, an :.
increase of nearly S12,OO0,O00 over the
previous year. During the year the war
rants drawn on the general fund amounted !
to $226,s and on Jan. 1, with no war
rants outstanding, the cash balance in that
fund was $3S, 251.

for the year. Support of insane, $7l, 800;
support of convicts, Sal, 13l; maintenance
of militia, $34,2ss; bounty on animlas,
$S,27o; support of deaf. mute and blind
and imbecile, $3,3s3. The limit Of the
tax levy is 3 mills. Hitherto but mill

5 mills will be levied to meet the expenses.

SARAH FINALLY DEFEATED.

Probable End Of the Tedious Hill-Sharon
Litigation.
Judge Shafter, in the superior court at
San Francisco, has rendered decision in
the Sharon case which virtually ends that
famous litigation. The principal point in
the present controversy was on demurrer
to an answer made by the Sharon heirs.
In this answer they incorporated the de-
cree of the United States circuit court by
which the alleged marriage contract be-
tween VIM. Sharon and Sarah Althea Hill
was declared forgery and ordered cam
celed. Judge Shafter held this decree of
the United States court was in force in all
courts and that the contract has no legal
existence. He ordered the Sharon case
postponed indefinitely.
