ported in theSenate.

WATERLOO, Iowa, Special Telegram, Aug
1.-The preliminary examination of Tom
Stingley, the Cedar Falls policeman, for
the murder of Dexter Jones last Monday
night took place to-day, and he was held to
the court withou: bail. The defense intro
duced no testimony. Fred Godncr, Fred
Lucas, l.. G.. Holmes and George Miller
who were eye witnesses to the shooting
were examined, and told substantially the
following story:
Jones was trying to get Miller, who was
somewhat intoxicated, to go home, when
Stingley came upand arrested Miller. Jones
tried to beg off flor him, when Stinglcy
drew his revolver, but put it back in his
pocket and then knocked Miller down
twice with his club. Jones then started to
help the officer to take Miller to Jail.
After going about block Miller
was resisting, and for some reason
the officer struck Jones with his
club, knocking him down. Miller then
tried 10 push the officer away and, US Jones
was getting on to his feet, Stingiey drew his
revolver and shot him twice. The three
men then ran, when Stinglcy shot third
time, hitting Miller in the leg Stingley
claims that the testimony is incorrect and
that they had him down and
were pounding him when lG fired.
Public sentiment ut Cedar Falls is almost
entirely against him, and when he was
brought out OF the office to-day the streets
were lined with excited browds. but it is
believed that no efforts will be made to
lynch him. as better counsels seem to have
prevailed, although the Indignation over
the decd is outspOkcn.

II. J. Andcrsons new saw mill. with All es-
timatcd capacity of 100000 feet of lum-
ber annually, was struck by lightning to-
night and entirely consumed, with the cx-
ception of the boiler house and engines. A
considerable amount of lumber was also
burned. Owing to the great distance the
fire companies arrived SO late upon the
ground that the mill was past redemption
and they confined their Efforts entirely to
the lumber in the yards, and it was saved
with great difficulty. The mill WAS built
last winter, the city paying Mr.. Anderson q
bonus of $4,000 for it, and gave employ

Got Rid Of the Pigeons.

An American farmer once brought
into the Philadelphia market q cart
load of pigeons that he had shared.
1t happened that several other farm
ers had already brought in cart loads
OF pigeons, and the market was glut-
ted.
After he had failed to sell them at
full price the farmer offered the birds
at half price. There were no pur-
chasers. Finally not wishing to cart
the pigeons home again, he offered
to give them away.
"They must be STALE" the people
said, 'or else he wouldn't offer to
give them for nothing
Seeing that people would not have
his pigeons at oil, the farmer, de-
termined to be rid Of them, started
through the sreets, dropping three
or four of them out of the cart every
uew rods; but the people picked them
ep and ran after him, and shouting,
Here, man, you're losing your pig
fons!" threw them back into the
cnrt.
The farmer was Mt his Wits end for n
moment, but presently hit upon the
very way to I've rid OF his load. He
drove up to the edge of the street,
leaned back against his cart and pre-.
tended to be asleep, and instantly

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Aug. T.
The postal card returns which are not rclia-
bic and are subject to many changes, gives
the population of Minnesota us 1,456. 873.
While these figures are not accurate they
are close enough to practically assure Min
nesota of three additional members under
the new rcapportionmcnt unless it is deter
mined not to increase the size of the house
in which case the state would get no addi-
tional members.
IL the present size ofthe house is retained
it would be on basis of about .19O, 900 pop
ulation to each member. The general i'm
preston is that the number of representa-
tives will be increased and that 175.OO to
eacl, member will be the ratio, in which
event Minnesota will be easily entitled to
eight members.
The postal card returns givcSomth Dakota
336.W2. 1t is quite probable that the actual
returns will not vary to any great extent.
The state will still retain TWO representa-
tivcs.

BosrON, Aug. AFTER dinner the pris-

marched back 10 the shops very quietly,
but hardly had they entered when ter
rifle and general yell broke out. Windows
and furniture were broken and the
men rushed into the yard and
the entire crowd dashed for the various
walls. The guards on the fences fired, Mt
first to territy the men, but as sevcra. nearly
gained the top of the wall the bullets were
aimed to kill. 1t is, however, thought that
nobody was seriously wounded. The oiIi.

Every available man on the Boston police

No count has as yet been taken of

have not been returned to their cells. Some
OF these are known to be hiding in the
