PARDoNaRLE PRIDE.

The cutting off of human life pre-
taaturely is always. and rightfully SOFA
subject of comment, and invariably ex-
cites the interests OF the news-reading
public. This interest, however, is
sho wn in any murder that may occur.
Add to the ordinary murder touch OF
the romantic, and make it the sad end
ing of what might otherwise have been
a happy life for two or three people.
and the public interest becomes almost
excitement. This was the case with
those who read the GLOBES account or
the terrible tragedy that took place
near Montgomery late last Monday even
ing. This account appeared exclusively
the GLOBE because IL was the only daily
newspaper possessed of enough enter
prise to send member Of its regular
staff to the scene of death and devasta-
ton, with orders TO spare no effort IN
placing before its readers full account
of the awful occurrence. This enter
prise and alertness was praised Oh all
sides Yesterday, and added another TO
the already long list of victories won by
the GLOBE during the past few weeks
I'm tile matter of serving exclusive ac-
counts of great int rest to the newSpa-
per readers of the Northwest.
After making careful lnveStiga
of all the events surrounding and lead
ing up to the fatal event, and in so doing
interviewing a great many people, the
GLOBE representative wrote the two
column special which appeared yester-
day. This practically contained the
meat of the case and was full and
graphic history OF the greatest tragedy
enacted in lie Sueur county and perhaps
in the entire state. But ii vas impossi-
bic to combine all the interesting, SEN
saiiOnal and sad features of the case in
a. two-columH article, and in another
part of this issue will be found pictures
Of the principal actors and the scene #
the terrible occurrence.

In 1885 Col. John T.. Merriam, A. 81.
Wilder, and Mrs. Carrie Thompson
donated two-thirds of the town-site at
Wilder, Jackson county, to the Epis-
copal church of this state. on condition
that school should be built there. A
corporation was formed. with Bishop
Whippie as president and Rev. ID. G.
Gum as secretary. The secretary was
authorized to 20 on and raise money.
which was done, and Prof. Eugene
Rucker, B. 5. Of Shenandoah college,
To-, was engaged by Mr.. Gum to take
charge of the work. Prof. tucker sue
eeeded so well that at the suggestion
of Mr.. Gum the trustees engaged
him and his associates for three years.
They at once formed a faculty and went
to work under the name of the Wilder
Farm college. The success of their
work has been marvellous. There are
ten officers aud teachers. The attend
ance has been up to the present 104,
and there is no room for more. Win

college moved TO that place, and last
Saturday a mass meeting was held.
The sum of $4,000 was pledged, and
valuable tract of land offered as an in
ducement for the trustees to
move the college to Win
dom. The knowledge of the in
tended erection of new buildings by
the trustees to accommodate 800 stu
dents led the Window people to make
this proposition. Window would do
we'll to get the college. So would any
other town, but it would cost probably
more than Window would give to move
it there. By special act of the legis-
lature-when Governor Merriam was

A Young Woman Held Up on Sixth

Shortly after o'clock last evening
Miss Lizzie Deasey was approached by
a man at the corner of Sixth street and
Washington, who threw one arm around
her neck and held her, while with the
other hand he snatched her gold watch.
The fellow ran along Washington to
ward Fifth. pursued by several per
SOUS who were close at hand, and
who were attracted by the woman's
cries. The officers at central station.
Fifth and Washington, heard her
screams also. anu ran out in time to see
the thief disappear behind William
Reeves house. opposite. A search re-
suited in finding the fellow in, coal
bin. He was locked up at the station,
giving the name of William Clark. He
is well known to the police as profess
sional thief. Several years ago he was
arrested for tapping till. and has since
been operating in this vicinity. A
search of the coal bin failed to develop
the watch, which had probably been
thrown away as he ran.

Jail none seem so utterly miserable

little to say about the escape
of the prisoners on that dark,

that the escape had occurred before he
went on guard. and that he couldn't
very well prevent it then. He was de-
ceived by the appearance of the hunks.
and thought the prisoners all present
when he went on duty. The injustice
of the sentence he thinks sufficiently
apparent. as the undertaking had
actually occurred an hour before he re-

quarters. and expressions of sympathy
for him and condemnation OF the treat
