which was in large bills, and proceeded
to count the amount. When he had
laid down the last bill on the hearth
some one opened doors and gust OF
wind carried his all into the fire. Be-
fore Meadows could rescue any of his
currency it was in ashes. He had con-
verted all his possessions INTO cash, and
in twinkle all was lost.

Eldridge to ride to Jamestown. He was
elected from the train wilfully, with
violence and abusive language. He
sued for damages, and the court rem

Although Fell was not injured, Judge

feSSion.
Little Probability That Any
Tangible Evidence Will

A Sudden and Surprising
Change by the Police
Commission.
Something to Be Done to Al
leviate Dakota Suffering
at Last.

Commencing this morning the grand
jury will attempt to sift the numerous
blood-curdling and sensational stories
brought about by the alleged death-bed
confession of the late Jude Hollins, in
which 1t is said he admitted that he and
well known physician were engaged
in nefarlous scheme which resulted
in the death of young woman in the
physicians private Office. Among the wit
nesses summoned yesterday was Health
Officer Kilvlngton and he will be called
to show what deaths were reported from
the DOCTORS office. DR.. Kilvington yes
terday said that when his attention was
first called to the matter by Chief of
Police Bracket he at once commenced
au investigation. As far as he was able
to determine, there was no truth in the
story. The physician had between
April and November reported nine
deaths to the health office. Three of
these were Still-born, one died from
mOrasmuS, ana only one woman was
of the age which would have excited
suspicion that her death was due to
anything but natural causes. Her age
was given as twenty-five. and the cause
of her death as peritonitis. She, how
ever, was married woman, and died at
home. 1t is said that County Attorney
JamlSOn Is in possession of considerable
evidence bearing upon the case, but
just what that evidence is no one
OF course will know outside of the grand
jury room. Since the alleged confession
made by Judge Hollins, it has been as
serted that the confession was nothing
more nor less than the rawlings of a
maniac. and it has been intimated that
the physician whose reputation has
been assailed has already retained an
attorney, and that he will at an early
day commence suit for libel against
the newspapers which have used his
name in connection with the affair.

WORK FOR THE GRAND JURY
1t VIII Look Into Judge Hollins'
Death-Bed Confession.


The grand jury will have little work
of Importance upon its hands when it
meets this morning. There are only
two cases of special interest, one being
that of lsadore Monasch for alleged en-
bezzlement, and the other the matter of
Judge Rollins' death-bed confession.
In the latter case County Attorney
Jamison has done little IN the way of
investigation, preferring that the jury
should do that in its own way. 1t will
probably summon what witnesses can
be found in the case, and determine
whether or not there is enough in the
story to warrant an Indictment. As
sistant County Attorney Nye stated that
he had talked with some who had heard
was convinced of their truth, it was
little more than hearsay at the most.
Health Commissioner Kilvington was
summoned yesterday to appear before
the grand jury to testify in the case to-
day.
There are at the present time thirteen
prisoners in the county Jail awaiting the
lury's action. The principal of these is
Fritz Rose, the butcher, who shot
Burke, intlicting wound which nearly
proved fatal. The remainder of the
cases are for minor charges-bastardy,
house-breaking and larceny. Witnesses
SO far called to appear are: j. Nj. Price,
police officer; Henry Belly, Lizzie
Douglas, Lyman W.>Noble and William
Donaldson, the latter to testify in case
of Shop-Iiftlng.

kota, Makes His Plea.
The usual number of the members of
the board of trade gathered in their
room in the lumber exchange yesterday,
and together with many familiar faces
were those of Gov. A. c. Mellette, of
South Dakota; Senator J. A. Smith, of
Grafton, and Representative H. Hunter,
of Mellette. These gentlemen were
present in the interest of the destitute
counties of South Dakota. Judge At
water opened the business of
the meeting by presenting a
communication from B. T. Judkins
in regard to passing a resolution re-
QueSting congress to take some action
in regard to the Portage lake canal,
which communication was referred to
the committee Oh legislation. Another
communication from G. Gunnerson, who
has recently invented new process of
grinding glass, desiring assistance, was
referred to the committee on manufact-
ures. Their being no further business
before the board, Gov. Mellette arose.
and after stating that the mission which
brought him to this city was somewhat
humiliating, still he felt that it was one
that could not be neglected. He showed
how a large number of counties, en-
bracing large section of country, will
be totally without seed wheat
to SOW IN the spring. Many of
the people in these counties are
using the wheat which they intended
for seed to enable them to get through
the winter. Accordingly he wished to
obtain if possible cash donation of
$1,000 from this city to aid these desti-
tute counties. The sum of $4,000 will
be raised If possible, the state of South
Dakota taking upon itself $4,000 of it,
while Minneapolis, st. Paul, Winona,
Sioux City and Omaha will, it is hoped,
raise the remaining amount. This sum
of money, he promised. would be APP
piled, without being diminished by ex-
penses, ETC.. directly to the purchasing
of seed wheat and feed for the horses
of the farmers. Everything points to
good crop this coming year. There is
good fall of snow at present all through
Dakotay and there is every pros
pect OF good fall of rain dur
ing the coming year; the future
development of Dakota means great
deal to the city of Minneapolis, and aid
from this city at present means more

The committee appointed by the grain
men of the chamber of commerce, con-
sisting of Messrs. Harrington, Peavy
and Pratt, discussed the state of the
destitute counties of South Dakota with
Gov. Mellette at the West hotel yester-
day. The counties of Sphinx and Faulk
are said to be especially destitute. and
the committee desired to make some ar
rangement by which they could be fur
nished with seed wheat. The millers
reported that the use of their elevators
would cost nothing and no charge
would be made for handling wheat.
