Some Adventures of Drummer In From

We were seated in the caboose of a
freight train on the Union Pacific
which we had boarded at Granger. 1t
was a way or local freight, stopping at
all stations, and was unconscionably
slow and wearisome. There were two
commercial travellers from Denver; a
well-built cowboy with long black hair
streaked with gray, and features that

three or four citizens of villages down

drummers slept with his hat over his
face on the long seat, the cowboy told
stories, and the rest listened, with now
and then a comment 6h the stories.

Just then the train stopped with =
tremendous jerk at Hams Fork and
the cowboy went out and dropped
down off the car.
''Bill's a right green-looking man
even now," continued the drummer,
but his looks are worth money to him
and he don't object. They sized him
up for a tenderfoot in a saloon at Dodge
up and run him into Mary Delano's
dance-hall There they formed a ring
with the girls inside and made poor
Bill dance Jig He danced like COW

So Bill ordered the drinks and sneaked
out At Nose Heinman's, down the
street half block, he got double
barreled shotgun, with three buckshot
cartridges. One he stuck in his mouth
and the two were put where they'd do

The Russsan woffh oun II.

Barzoi is the name by which the
Russian wolfhound is known in this
country and in England, though it is
said that in the land of the white car
the breed is otherwise designated. AS
yet there are certainly not two dozen
pure specimens of this aristocratic dog
in America, proba bly, not more than
half that number. With a beautiful
siiten coat, the eye of the gazelle and
the form of the greyhound, there is yet
a spice of ''the divit' in this inoffensive
looking foreigner which makes it diff
ficult animal to control when reused.
Most dogs will turn tail if brought face
to face with wolf; the Barzoi does no
such thing, but, pinning the victim be-
hind the ear, holds it until n thrust t
from the hunters knife terminates the
struggle. Marvellous tales of the in
domitable courage of the wolfhound
come to us from Russia, and there is
good reason to believe that hound
that will tackle a wolf will fear no
other foe when reused. The tremeu.
dous strength of the jaw in this breed d
renders its bite more to be feared than
that of any other hound. Boston Her.

HE KNEW A GOOD THING.


Him.
Three large crates stood in front of
Dearborn street esta ablishment the
other afternoon, and in them, respect
lively, were buck deer aud two does
with two fawns each. Every ybody that
passed stopped to look, and many put
their hands inside to stroke the smooth
coats
About four o'clock crowd was
standing there admiring them, when a
little girl with an apple in her hand
approached one of the does. The ami
NAL stuck its nose through crack i'm
out the fruit until even the core had
disappeared. AT this juncture a small
bootblack. munching big, yellow car
rot, came up. The doe felt as if she
wanted some carrot, too, and she said
so, just as plainly as a doe could say it.
But the boy was imperturbable. He
had probably never seen a deer in his
life, but he had seen so much of other
things that the crack of doom wouldn't
have startled him
Still, the hungry animal, with plead
ing brown eyes, watched him. 1t was
too much much for the little girl.
"Oh boy" she called, give her a
piece, won't you?"
The bootblack stopped munchinS,
while he regarded her with an all-over
stare that was indescribable. He spoke

TURNER'S AT THE BALL.
A Brilliant Throng Crowds the
Old Market Hall.

The largest crowd ever gathered in
Market hall was that seen there last
evening. 1t was the occasion of the
grand ball, participated in by all the So
cieties of the funniest. There were
fully LOCO people Oh the floor at 10
o'clock, and the dance was in full prog
ress. The ball room was handsomely
decorated and brilliantly lighted. Fes-
toons of evergreens were hung
across the entire floor, and crossed by
others running at right angles. There
was bunting everywhere. The red, white
and blue intertwined with the red,
black and white at every turn. The
stars and stripes predominated every
where, though not dozen people in
the whole vast throng OH that floor were
speaking the language of the country.
1t is remarkable how quickly all these
people have become known to each
other. All the Milwaukee visitors seem
to know every one of the 900 from Chi
cago, and the ChIcagoans are hail fell

Winona, New UIm and other points.
There is not a stranger in the lot after
two days of association with each other.
The music was by Seibert's band, and
very good music it was. The ball was,
without doubt, one of the most enjoya-

THE NEW YORK LIFE.
Examination Begins at New York
"A Hungarian Suit.


New YORK, June 22.-Michael Shan
non, deputy superintendent of the state
Insurance department, and John S. Pat
terson, the actuary of the department,
began the examination of the affairs of
the New York Life Insurace company
this morning. DR.. Tuck, the vice
president, could not tell how long the
examination would take, but it would
certainly occupy a good deal of time.
Mr.. Beers, the president of the COM
pany, will sail for New York Wednesday
the oath inst. DR.. Tuck denied the re-
port that officers of the company had
endeayOred to induce the superintend-
ent Of the state insurance department to
postpone the investigation of the COM
pany's affairs until his return from Eu-
rope.
1t was learned to-day that Bella Kan,
lawyer of Hungary, has brought suit
against the company in the courts of
that country for the return of the
premiums he had paid, plus the
interest. This action, it is said, is
based upon a law prohibiting mutual
companies from doing business as Joint
stock concerns. The New York Life is
reported to have tried to do this, and
registered in 1856 as share company,
which it is not, and induced Bella Kan
to insure his life on such representation.
DIR. Tuck said that the difficulty in rela-
ton to the company not being a stock
company had been settled. 1t arose
through mistake in the translation
of the concession obtained from the
Hungarian government. Papers, how
ever, had been filed. and there was no
longer any difficulty of the nature in
dicated in the report as to the Beal Kan
suit. SO far as could be aScertained to-
day the reported organization of policy
holders to secure an examination of the
company's affairs has not taken on any
definite or concrete shape as yet.

Special to the Globe
DELANO, June 22.-The coroner'S
jury in the case of the death of little
Annie Brunder found that she was
murdered Thursday, June Is, near
Montrose, by John Muzue. This was
one OF the most atrocious crimes ever
committed III Wright or any other
county. Circumstanual evidence against
the prisoner, who was a neighbor of the
murdered girl, young man of about
seventeen years of ags, was so strong
that the jury felt bound to find YER
dictas above. The prisoner was removed
from the hall where the inquest was
held before the verdict was rendered,
and started on his way to Buffalo. the
county seat, by order of the county at
torney. Sheriff Nugent and Deputy
Herman Anderson were in charge of
the prisoner. The widest excitement
prevailed, but Montrose people are to
be commended for keeping their heads
and allowing the law to take its course,
though it is reported some favored
lynching, and it undoubtedly would
have occurred had not the prisoner been
removed in time.
Details of the Crime.
The eleven-year-old daughter of Jo-
seph Brunder, of MontrOse, was cruelty
and brutally murdered and outraged
and left in the woods by the assassin.
The little girl had been attending school
at Waverly, walking to and from school,
and as she did not return home Thurs
Id
come alarmed, as she had been
in the habit of staying over night with
friends at Waverly. But when Friday
evening came ana she did not come her
parents feared something had happened,
and a searching party was organized
and hunted for her. Finally Saturday
morning she was found in the woods
south of the Great Northern track
about mile west of Montrose. When
found she was bound hand and foot,
and cloth tied over her mouth and
the ends brought back of her head and
then forward again and fastened under
her head. The cloth was drawn so
tight that she was choked to
death. She had lain in the
woods from Thursday evening until
Saturday morning. as she was seen
going home Thursday evening. A young
man, Joseph Muzue, is under arrest for
committing the horrible deed. The EVIL
dence at the examination brought forth
the fact that pipe, which was found
near where the crime was committed,
belonged to the young man. Should
stronger evidence be brought to bear
on him he will undoubtedly be lynched,
as the excitement at and in the vicinity
of MOntrose is intense, and nothing
short of a necktie party will quench the
thirst for punishment which burns iii
the citizens hearts for one of the most
horrible crimes which has ever oc-
cured within the boundary lines of
Wright county.
