An Old Man Brutally Murdered and
His House Burned.
WAUPAcA, Wis, Special Telegram,
The details of the burning of the Stays
house at Manawa received here to-day in
dicate one of the most atrocious crimes ever
perpetrated in this state. The remains of
Stays were found near the door with the
head, legs and arms severed from the
trunk. The head was found in the cellar,
the arms and legs scattered in different por-
tions of the ruins. Stays, who was quite
old, exhibited considerable money Satur-
day night, and it is thought that he was
first murdered, then robbed and then that
the villain, in order to conceal his horrible
crime. hacked the body to pieces and set
fire to the house. Stays lived alone and
the house is about three quarters of mile
from another dwelling, so that there was
little chance of the murderer being mo-
Tested. There is not the slightest clue to
the perpetrators of the deed. and the cor
oner's Investigation now pending will
probably result in verdict OF death from
wounds received from persons unknown.
Pieces of q broken lantern were found near
the body, but no one of Stays neighbors
seem able to identify them.

affair occurred late last night at North Nc

road, a we'll known citizen of Dubuque
Cornell arrived at North McGreg-

was evidently waiting for him. Grinnell
walked up to him, and without word dis
charged two bullets from revolver, enter

possible Tor him to recover. GrinneIl, who
did the shooting has been for years official

FIGHTING FOR LAND.

Trouble Over Valuable Property in
the City Limits Of Spokane Fails.
s SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Special Telegram,
The recent decision of Secretary
Noble that he would hear testimony in the
case OF the Indian Enoch, who claims to
nave taken up homestead on land now
nearly in the center of the city, from which
he was inveigled by one Crowley and the
Northern Pacific, has caused great excite
ment. All last night lots were jumped in
the disputed tract and hundreds OF shan
ties erected on valuable property in the sec
ton OF the city where the best residents are.
This morning property owners tore down
number, but in some cases resistance with
firearms was offered, and shanty owners re-
malu masters. In some houses families of
squatters had moved. These weren't touched.
IN the excitement some houses were pulled
down that were not in the disputed prop.
erty involved in Enoch's claim. This
caused great excitement and talk of lynch
ing, but no serious disorders occurred
Many owners protected their property with
arms. and small crowds roamed aimlessly
over disputed land watching rival factions.
Some property holders had Jumpers arrest
ed for trespass. Among the jumpers ar
rested was Stephen johnson, nephew of
City Clerk Prendergast Of st. Paul The
property involved is worth five o5 six mill
ion dollars, including the finest residences
in the city, some worth $75, 600. Teleg1 ans
have been sent to Secretary Noble and the
w Washlngton congressional delegation, ask
ing them to hurry up the hearing Of the
case.

A GREAT DEAL OF BLUsTER.

GREAT DEAL OF BLUsTER.
The situation is changed for the better
tonight, and it is now hoped that no moro
serious results will occur than has already
happened: There was a great deal of blus-
terlng talk among the squatters but it is
thorities to the extent of precipitating a
riot, but the indignant property holders do
not intend to submit to what they consid-
tI er the theft of property before
their very, eyes. Many of them
have already destroyed the shanties
on their property and threaten dire
vengeance on any one who dares to set
foot on their property in the future.
Being determined men they are taken at
their word by the squatters, who do not like
to face the WincheSters that are ready for
them. There are three classes of claimants
Tor the property and for some of it four.
These claimants are as follows: First, the
government. represented by the squatters;
second, the Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany; third, the Indian who had possession
otthe land at the time ofthe definite location
OF the railroad and who had TILED It. and
made improvements thereon; fourth, a Mr..
Coaley, who has claim against the railroad
company for portion of the land The
excitement will doubtless quiet down in a
lew days, and the contest be left to the de-
clslon OF the interior department and the
courts. Along siege of litigation will doubt
less result. The property owners held a
meeting tonight, which resulted in the ap-
pointment Of large force of special police,
who have orders to disperse ali crowds on
the premises.
