GUILTY OF MURDER
In the Second Degree, John
Woods Gets Four Years.
District Fair-Fuueral OF Deacon
Miller-Dr. Whitney's Death
Special Dakota News.

WHITEwooD, Oct John Woods re-
Gently pleaded guilty of murder in the
second degree, in the Lawrence county
court, and was sentenced TO four years
in the ~penitentiary. In two previous
trials the jury had disagreed. Woods
was employed TO work forJohn Mcleod,
a farmer living near Whitewood, and
there we're whisperings OF undue
intimacy between Woods and Mrs. Nc
Leod. On August Q, 1889, while Mrs.
Mcleod was absent visiting, Woods mott
fed the neighbors that Mcleod had
attempted to light a fire from q can of
kerosene and the can had exploded and
burnt the house with Mcleod in it. All
the surrounding circumstances were
against any such theory. Woods was
present at the house and claimed to
have witnessed the catastrophe, but was
unable to render any assistance. After
wards the discovery Of two trunks, full
of Mrs. McLeod's best articles of wear
ing apparel and other articles of value,
carefully secreted in an old outdoor root
cellar, and other mysterious circum-
stances to which the suspects were UNI
able TO give a satisfactory explanation,
at once led to the arrest Of Woods and
the investigation by the proper author
tiles.

THE FORT RUSSELL TRAGEDY.
Corporal Parkinson Suspected Of Murder

ing Private Baker.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 1.-THE cor
oner's jury which has bee investigating
the cause of the death of Roy Baker,
the soldier found murdered near Fort
Russell a week ago, yesterday returned
a verdict in which it Is found that Frank
p. Parkinson, corporal of Company c,
is responsible for the death. Immedi-
ately after the body was found two sol
diers named Miller and Wise were ar
rested for the crime. Circumstantial
evidence seemed to point toward them.
Parkinson was one of the witnesses
called, and his testimony left the i'm
presson that the men were guilty.
Other witnesses, however, proved a
different state OF affairs, and sew
eral testified to having gone home
to the fort that night with the men.
Then the tolls were woven around
Parkinson himself. His enmity was
shown by the fact that he suspected
Baker of having given away a scheme
which several of them had put up to de-
sert. Following out the scheme, some
firearms had been stolen from the COM
missary, the intention Of the men being
to escape to the hills and there estab-
lish themselves as bandit kings, max.
ing raids on the surrounding country
and levying toll on everybody who
came their way. 1t was shown that as
a matter OF fact Baker had never given
the scheme away to anybody but his
"bunkey," and that gentleman never
Idivulged 1t until he was placed upon
the witness stand at the %coroner's in

ing the picking of about 100, 600 dozen
Of eggs shipped from Canada during the

fore the Mckinley tariff bill took effect.
He says that several hundred thousand
dozens Of eggs have been shipped in the

for the same reason. 1t will have the
double effect, said he. Of increasing the
price OF eggs to the consumer in this

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The fourth floor
of the imposing structure on Indiapa

inscription, "St. Luke's Hospital" over

Wisconsin for the position on its pres

of the Badger state. Fortune smiled
upon him, he was a power in republican
councils, and his influence was sought
and appreciated by minor politicians all
over the state. Today. penniless in

wreck, he is grateful for the shelter,
care and attendance for which the in
stitution in question is noted through

his name, and for several years up to a
recent date, he was the treasurer OF
Ashland county, Wisconsin.

Rally to Crush Forever in Ireland the De.

New York, Oct. 10.-A Dublin cable
says: The centenary Of the birth OF
Of Father Matthew Is being
celebrated throughout Ireland today by
special services in the Catholic churches
and by public celebrations in local
halls. The day is to be rendered mem
orable, moreover, by a revival and com
pletion OF the great temperance move
ment by which the name Of the great
Irishman will forever be linked in his
tory. A month or more ego thsre was
a conference among .ne Catholic Dish
ops of the country at which 1t "a Ge-
cided that today should see q distinct
advance in the great work to which he
had devoted his life. On the following
Sunday this movement was inaugurated
in every Catholic church throughout
Ireland. In every diocese the bishop
issued a pastoral appealing to his flock
to rally round their clergy in a great eff
fort TO crush forever in Ireland the de-
mon OF intemperance. Fore several
weeks past special temperance sermons
have been preached everywhere, and In
every church q temperance organization
has been formed. As a result the cen.
tennary witnesses renewed interest In
the great cause. Numerous statues to
the memory OF Father Matthew will be
dedicated in different parts Of Ireland

Hundreds OF Curious People View the
Dead Bandit ut Birmingham.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 10.-The dead
body Of the famous bandit king, Rube
Burrows, reached Birmingham at $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning and was
gazed upon by hundreds Of eager sight
seers as 1t lay in the plain pine box.
The pale face and stiffened limbs as
they lay in death, and even the very
features and every part of this once ia
nous desperado, seemed to speak vol.
tunes of his life Of daring robbery and
plumber. There was q look of the ideal
outlaw about the stern expression of the
face. The body Of Burrows had been
placed in a plain pine coffin just as he
had died, wearing the same old clothes,
except the shoes, Of which he had been
relieved. The body was transported in
the baggage car with the lid turned on
the box without being nailed, There
came with 1t the search party who had
been securing the wilderness Of south
Alabamaev since the robbery on Au-
gust 20, bounding down the modern ter
ror. 1t had been decided that q photo
grapher should take a picture Of the
dead man, and accordingly the coffin
was erected in a corner. Burrows rife
and his pistols were placed by his side
when the picture was taken.

A S%5,OO0,OOO ESTATE
Holders of a St. Louis Fortune
Liable to Have to Disgorge.
Legacy Left by John Mullanply-
Heirs of John WEIGH and the
MulIanply Heirs.

BALTIMORE, Oct l1.-After working
nearly fifteen years to establish their
claim to a legacy Of S., 0o0 600, left by
John Mullanphy the heirs of John
Welsh, TO whom the estate was willed,
are in hopes of coming into possession.
The suit against the Mullanphy estate
in this city has caused a shudder in the
aristocratic circles in which the Null
lanphy heirs now move Mrs. Powers
goes back 100 years and her story al
leges that she is the granddaughter of
one John Welsh, Of County Kilkenny,
Ireland. One hundred years ago, she
says, John Welsh and John Mullapphy
were partners in the ownership and
business of a fishing smack. Welsh
was married, while young Mullanphy
was a single man. Mullanphy, the
plaintiff in the Baltimore suit asserts,
embezzled the money of the partnership
business and fed to America. The bur-
den Of his guilt must have lain heavily
upon John Mullanphy's conscience, for
after amassing a large fortune in the
two American cities of Baltimore and
st. Louis he left by his VIII the pro-
perty Ito the heirs Of John Welsh, OF
county Kilkenny, Ireland" which to-
day, the complainant claims, represents
a valuation Of at least SIS, 00O, 900 and
Is rightfully due the legal haias
Of the man robbed by John Mul
lanphy. Strange to say, in view OF the
startling suit, there is a mystery hang
ing over the early life Of John Mullan-
ply lasting up to the moment of his
settlement in this country. 1t Is a mys-
terry imposed by the silence of his de-
~scesdants upon the subject of his career
in Ireland, his native country, and
which has generally been attributed to
the feeling of bitterness against Byron
Mullanaphy for devoting SO large a por-
ton Of the Mullanphy millions to the
cause of charity, instead Of suffering it
TO remain in the family.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE return TO
this country Of Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall

10y many Of the professionals now in

n for then Besides paying all their
expenses, in GLIDING the rather liberal
salaries Of tn cir company, they took
back with them drafts representing some
thing over 800, 900, as the net proceeds
of the tribute paid them by the Anglo
maniac theater goers Of a few of tie
principal towns Of the United States.

IL the old European fables Of the streets
Of America being paved with golden
