A LITTLE PECULIAR.
An Agent Accused of Appropri-
ating Considerable Amount.

An Agent Accused of Appropri-
ating a Considerable Amount.
Henry NJ. Little and James Stoddard
have gotten into little dispute. which
will be settled by the district court. the
former having filed papers in the action.
Little claims that between June /. 1890,
and Oct. 10, he handed over to Stoddard
large sums of money, the money to be
used exclusively in paying for material
furnished and labor performed in the
erection of dwelling house then in
process of construction. The specified
sums to be paid were 1925 to Fraser &
Shepherd, S25l to Miller 81 Allen. $3.50
to &. A. Smith d Co.. and various
smaller sums to other firms and indi-
viduals.
The trouble appears to be with Little
that his agent did not pay any of the
above sums, but. to use his own words,
"wholly disregarded his duties and
agreement, and refused and failed to
pay any part Of the sum, but wilfully
and unlawfully appropriated" the
whole amount to his own use. The
sum aggregates $l,666.34. which makes
rather grave charge to bring in civil
action. The answer will probably
throw new light upon the affair. Mean
while an attachment has been issued in
the action.

KEENAN, AT MINNEAPO LIS.
More Talk About the Inhumanity
of Russia.

George KeDnan last night at the
Grand delivered another of his most
interesting lectures, illustrative of Rus
sia's lnhumanity to her subjects. The
spy system, the arrest, trial and impris-
Onment of political offenders against
the cars autocratic government. as
it still exists at the present time,
was detailed in all its horrible reality.
"Many ask themselves" said the
speaker, 'why all this hatred for the
czar," but when Mr.. KeDnan had fln-
ished his story Of wrong and brutal OPP
preston to the Russian people. about
which the outside world is purposely
that there were sufficient reasons for 1t.
Arrests of Young girls are made whom
the authorities suspect of having knowl-
edge that would eliminate some of their
family or their friends. They are kept
in solitary confinement for two or
three weeks without being Informed OF
the reasons of their arrest. They are
then brought before a prosecutor and
offered freedom if they will tell what
they know. Some of the weaker ones
who have heard unfavorable criticism
made upon the government, with 81
IBERIA staring them in the face. confess.
The offenders in that country where
free speech is prohibited are transported
TO Siberia. All sorts of cunning and
tortuous devices which are ever likely
to secure information of its enemies are
resorted to without scruple or conscience
by this government. Prison life, its
hardships. unhealthfulness, and systemic
brutality is described in that healthful,
vigorous language for which Mr.. Ken
nan Is justly celebrated. No word is
omitted that would give force or color
oring to sentence, and yet it is aston
ing how much information each SEN
tence contains.
The government deems it best for its
safety to place in solitary confinement.
those who oppose it, in many instances
for life. Mr.. KEENAN, has heard from
their own lips, the suffering
the indignities and atrocities which the
government heaps upon them. and tells
1t in such a graphic manner that one
comes away shocked and frightened at
its virulence. The speaker spoke of the
ciphers used by prisoners in cOmmuni-
eating with each other; knocks upon
the wall, perforating paper, ETC., were
all entertainingly explained.

A FORGERY INVESTIGATION.
The Grand Jury Will Visit County
Institutions To-Day.

The grand jury practically finished it's
labors yesterday, although to-day it will
wind matters up by visiting the county
jail, workhouse and poor farm. and sub
hitting a report. There was some little
excitement about the corridors during
the afternoon, caused by the presence
of several witnesses who were on hand
to testify on charge of forgery pre-
ferred against +. p. Morris, a man whose
testimony went far towards sending
Adamson to the penitentiary, and who
has figured in several deals that have
been aired in the district court. In one
of the latter judge on the bench took
occasion to remark that there was no
doubt from the evidence that forgery
had been committed. 1t was not learned
whether or not an indictment was re-
turned in the case.
During the afternoon the witnesses
diminished somewhat in number until
but a few remained. Lapping's case
was considered and young Arthur Mer-
rick. one of his victims, was present be-
fore the jury, the mark of a half-heaied
wound still showing upon his face.
Viola Heath was also there. No one
appeared to know what was done in
the case, although it was reported that
all indictment was returned, although
in what degree was not haZarded. The
arrangements will probably be made to-
morrow morning.

Satisfied With the System.

According to the street railway Off
Gals, the new transfer system is work
ing well. After the first three or four
days, and as soon as the public became
conversant with the details. all dissatis-
faction disappeared. General Manager
Goodrich says he is glad that the people
have shown disposition to make the
best of the matter. He says he knows
the system is a good one, and that when
the loop lines are all completed it will
be an ideal one in every respect, as it
avoids the crowding up to transfer
agents at transfer points. 1t will also
have another advantage over the old
system. Passengers will be able to
transfer from one line to another with
out coming to the center of the CITY.
For instance: A passenger on the Mon
roe street line desiring to go southeast
on the University line need not come
across the bridge for this transfer, but
he can take the first University car he
meets, thus saving about ten minutes
ride. The same will apply to passen-
! gers on the Riverside line who want to
transfer to the interurban line, Thirty
new cars are now arriving, large ones
such as are used on the Sixth street
line.

Three Confidence Men Spring q
New and Peculiar Scheme.
Three days ago three slick looking
schemers, who might be taken for we'll
TODD business men as far as appear
ances go, opened an Office on the
second floor of the Webb block,
corner of Third street and Hen
nepin avenue. They advertised
In the papers that they desired the serv-
ices of clerk at good salary. This
brought hundreds of applications, but
those who called found that the place
had been already filled. They were,
however, introduced to an easy way to
make whole lot of money on very
small investment. Maps and gushing
newspaper notices were shown describ-
ing vast tracts of valuable government
land in Oregon and Washington. The
schemers represented themselves as
agents of a corporation which. de-
sired to acquire as much OF
the land as possible. and
their business was to secure men who
would pre-empt claims. II an appli-
cant would advance S25 and good ref
erenceS they would forward his appli-
cation. When it was returned the ap
plicant would be furnished railroad
transportation to the point where he
was to locate claim. He would be
furnished with $400 for expenses i'll
proving up. and the Fort Blakely Mill
company, of FortBlakely, Ore, would buy
the land from him for 5000. The Office
has been crowded the last two weeks,
and il is expected that quite number
advanced the $25. Yesterday inspectors
Howard and Doyle appeared among the
applicants. The plan was explained to
them, and, as a result, the "agentS"
were placed under arrest and taken
to police headquarters, where Snpt.
Henderson gave them three hours to
get out of the city, which invitation they
very gladly accepted. The men gave
their names as Charles Reed, of Seattle,
and George Williams and William
Davis, of Butte City. The swindle is a
clever one, and is probably being OK
tenSively worked.

DENIED FOR MILES.
One Of His Staff Says He Didn't
Murder an Indian Village.

Gus Beaulieu, who is resident of st.
Paul, and who is widely known among
all the Indian tribes of the Northwest,
said to-day:
"The whole truth of this sad Indian
business will come out some day, and
when it does some of the events that
preceded the Custer massacre and led
up that bloody butchery will startle the
country. | think it was IN April. 1876
something like two months preceding
the humiliation of Clusters command
that Miles and his soldiers rushed
in one day upon an Indian village
lin Montana and killed every man,
woman and child in it. Bucks, squaws
ard pappooses were shot down without
mercy. There were between 200 and
SOC Indians killed. The village was far
from the railroads and the telegraph,
and information of the horrible affair
did not reach the government and peo-
pie until after the Custer massacre, and
then, of course, the public mind was so
occupied with the Custer massacre that
no attention was paid to the previous
massacre of the Indians"
"When the Sioux met Custer they ex-
pected no quarter and they gave none.
Even had the whole truth about the
outrage committed by Miles and his
soldiers been known at the time, no ac-
ton would have been taken, such was
the excitement and prejudice against
the red men,"
CHICAGO, Feb. Capt. Higgins. of
Gen. Miles staff, after carefully read
ing the Minneapolis dispatch, said:
THAT story is absolutely untrue.
Nothing in which Gen. Miles was en-
gagged ever occurred that could remotely
suggest it. III all the numerous occa-
sions where Gen. Miles has captured
Indians it has been really astonishing
how few were killed or wounded. At
the time of the only affair that | re-
member in Montana where considera-
BILE number of Indian women and chill
dren were killed by U. S. troops,
Gen. Miles was hundreds of miles dis
tant. That was the surprise of o band
of Piegans which aroused loud aecusa-
tons of inhumanity and wllful slaugh-
ter. 1t was several years before the Gus
ter massacre. but the Minneapolis
man, perhaps. has COMPOUNDED Gen
eral Miles into some connection
with the matter, though altogether
enormously. Those who are acquainted
with Gen. Miles know that no Eastern
sentimentaliSt would be more
keenly panied than he by the sight of
any unnecessary DlOOdshed or by the
slaughter of single woman or child

Before he could arrive, however, the
woman again revived and. sitting up in
bed, startled the attendants by saying:
II have come back to be baptized"
So positive was Mrs. Tyree
that she must be at once bap-
tised that Rev. W. A. Gross was SUM
moned and requested to take her to the
church and administer the rite OF bap-
tism. He refused, saying it would kill
her. But the woman's appeals were SO
pitiful that he determined to baptize
her at the house, and accordingly
he took the metallic coffin and
filling it with water, with the
the aid of her husband. immersed the
woman. The almost lifeless body
seemed to be revived and shouting
'iGlory. glory" the invalid was laid
upon the bed. No bad effect was pro-
duced by the plunge, and to-'lay she is
better than she has been for som time,
and says she will recover.
