SLAUGHTER OF BABES.
HAREAS CORPUS TRIAL OF MRS.
MARY NEWSERRY.
Hardly Standing Room-Review OF the
Ca5e-How the Three Innocents Hal
Their Threats Cut Last July
Special to the Gazette.

CLEBURNE, JOHNSON COUNT, TEX, Nov.
II ne habeaS corpus trial of Mrs. Mary
Newberry, charged with the murder of her
three grandchildren, near Joshua, on the
18th Of July last, was called this morning,
and the district courtroom has sbeen
crowded all day with anxious spectators.
This was one of the most dastardly crimes
that has ever blackened the pages of the
history Of this country. Ii was not muir
der committed in the heat of passion, or a
life taken in revenge for wrong COM
mitted, but cold-blooded, deliberate muir
der of three innocent, helpless children at
the dead hour of night. They were taken
from their beds and carried out into the
yard. their Threats cut and their dead
bodies left weltering in their blood, where
only the day before they had played and
sang together.
Inc whole country was aroused at hear
ing Of the affair and hundreds of people
visited the place and saw the ghastly forms
OF the murdered children. Numerous the
cries were advanced as TO the motive Of the
tieud, with heart so hard and soul so
damnable as to deliberately cut the Threats
OF these children, the youngest OF which
was out little more than prattling babe.
After two days thorough investigation
by County Attorney G. Y. Myers and other
officers, Mrs. Mary Newberry. grand
mother Of the children, was arrested
charged with the murder and placed in Jail
at this place, where she has remained till
now. AT 1880 the case was called and
counsel announced ready for trial Mrs.
Newberry, who is about sixty-two years Of
age, was brought inside the boz by Deputy
Sheriff Marchbanks. She looked CAIN aua
collected but was shivering from flcinr
the cold wind coming from the jail.
The first witness introduced by Ito Ia-
Tense was jim Barnard, a son Of tie &c
PENDANT. He testified as follows:
Mrs. Newberry is nay mother and VS.
living with my half-brother, George New

No Division of Effort.


When a meeting was held at Fort Worth
last spring TO put on foot 4 movement look
ing to the proper representation of Texas at
the Worlds fair. it WAS attended and parti-
cipated in by many Of the leading business
men of the state. A plan was formulated
which the best Of them considered feasible,
and under it the officers of the association
have been working hard for number of
months. The results accomplished have
not made much shOw-they have consisted
mainly Of digging down and laying a good
solid fOUEdatiOn-aud some people have be-
come impatient over the seemingly slow
progress. This should not De so. The
work of collecting 100000 by voluntary
subscription is not small one, and its
speedy accomplishment is not possible. 1t
takes time to Get the proper organization
completed, and time to do the work through
those organizations when completed, aud
sensible people will not grow i'm patient be-
cause the whole thing IS not done IN few
weeks. The association is just now in good
working order, with its various auxiliary
branches scattered throughout the state,
al ready 10 take hold and push along the
great work. 1t is TO be hoped that those
people who have been throwing cold water
on the work viii desist; that those who
have formed e different association from
the one that mas been SO long in the field
Will cease their opposing efforts, and that
al interests will JOIN forces and pull to-
Eether for the success Of the movement and
the good of the state

The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1891-09-10

The Redwood cowboys got home
from Chicago last Thursday, and the
only depredations they confess to was
knocking out all the fat cattle on the
Chicago market with their trainload
from the Gilfllan farm. It is some
thing to boast of, that Mr.. Tyson
topped the highest prices paid that
day for choice steers, getting ten cents
per hundred more than the best rep
resentatives of the Illinois, Iowa and
other western herds. This is not the
first time that the Gilfillan farm cattle
have done honor to their breeding and
selection. According to the Sleepy
Eye Dispatch, the party won some
fame in other fields than in Chicago:
Jos. Tyson, Doc. Dornberg, Geo.
Ruter and Squire Till Tibbetts started
from Redwood Monday with stock.
After the train got we'll away from the
station T tyson discovered that he had
left his contracts at the depot. Con-
ductor Hughes stopped the train and
Tyson sprinted back to the station, got
his contracts and raced back for the
train, in his hurry getting quite warm,
weary and dusty. Everything went
we'll after that until this place was
reached when Squire Tibbetts and DR..
Dornberg became excited at seeing
Bill Mandel's big ice wagon, suppos,
ing it was circus van, and Conductor
Hug hes says the whole party came
pretty near getting left trying to Get
them back to the depot. Tibbetts Is
reported to have said that it was The
flrst big show he had seen this yearly

Signal Flags.

Redwood Falls has been designated
as one of fifty points in Minnesota that
will have daily telegraphic weather
service, with system of signal flags
which are to be displayed daily from
the flag staff on Huntington Hall, by
Weather Observer Laird. Telegraph
ic advices will be received from state
headquarters every day, just before
noon and we append the following de-
seription of the flags used under the
signal code, which can easily be read
by every one. Four flags six feet
square and one black triangular flag
of corresponding size, will be used.
The square white flag shows a proba-
bility of clear weather, the solid blue
flag betokens rain or snow, and the
white and blue flag local showers,while
the white flag with black square in the
center is to be used only when a cold
wave is approaching and it is expected
that the temperature will fall to forty
two degrees or lower. The triangular
flag tells of rising or falling tempera-
ture, and is always used in connection
with the square flags. Placed below
them, it means falling temperature,
and above, means warmer weather in
prospect.

back in 1864, and his son Melville has
"growed up" here, and played or
worked-mostly worked-about the
store since it was established, seven
teen years ago. He was burned out at
the time of the big fire of '85, and af-
ter taking temporary quarters was es-
tablished in his present location as soon
as the building was ready for him the
following summer. The Gazette's in
terrogation point found Mr.. Hitchcock
positively enthusiastic in his views
of the trade situation, last week, after
a busy days trade, but as he went to
the cities for goods Tuesday, his asso-
ciate, Dewitt Martin. was asked for
bill of particulars on the situation yes
terday.
"How does trade compare with last
year? Well, last month it was fully
fifty per cent better than the same
time year ago. We have all been
counting on good trade since harvest
but by the way things are going now
I am of opinion that Redwood mer-
chants will be surprised at the magni-
tude of the fall and winter trade. Our
people never had 50 much money to
buy with before. One little thing I
have noticed lately, is the extraordin-
ary call for pocket books of all kinds.
What are the people buying7 Just
now, great deal of paints and wall
paper to make their homes more com
Portable. Of course, with the opening
of schools, there is a big demand for
tablets and other stationery and books,
none of which are selling any higher.
and some little lower than a year
ago. The same may be said of the
rest of our stock. The Mckinley law
has not made anything higher at
wholesale, and as we expect a cash
trade now, our patrons will be able to
get little more for their money on
many Items than before. The only
thing that troubles us, is the want of
room. I don't know where we are 60
ing to stow all our general and holi-
day stock, but / guess we will find
room somehow"

The Farmers Year.

This is farmers year in Redwood
county, without question. AS nine out
of ten people in Redwood county are
farmers or their dependents, and the
prosperity of the tenth hinges on the
success of the other nine, farmers year
means everybody's year. The most
persistent croaker has to admit that
this is the browning season of series
of plenteous harvests. We cite few
examples:
Large areas of grain are always bet
ter criterions of the actual average
yield in any community than small
fields, which are liable to be excep-
tional. Last week we chronicled re-
liable yield of over II, 600 bushels from
$50 acres, and soon after got from W.
H. Lance, of the Willard farm, Delhi,
the record of his entire wheat crop of
AIS acres, which was all delivered and
weighed at G. W. Georges elevator,
with grand total of 1900 bushels as
the result, or nearly 271 bushels per
acre.
In Redwood Falls township Howard
Giffen threshed a 14-acre field of heavy
grain which returned yield of Sc
bushels per acre. Donald Stewart, in
the same town, finished threshing a
crop of 100 acres last week, from which
he obtained an average yield of Is
bushels, one large field overrunning 80
bushels per acre.
Marion johnson, in Sheridan, has
finished threshing an elegant crop of
1850 bushels of wheat and 400 bushels
of flax, the latter averaging Is bushels
per acre,and both wheat and oats above
the average.
In Paxton Arthur Kenney's crop of
so acres threshed out 1900 bushels of
premium wheat, or 80 bushels per acre.
E. B. Hale's crops turned out thirty
bushels per acre of wheat and 81 of
oats.
The above are random examples
from surrounding towns, and we might
continue the list indefinitely did space
permit. But the above go to show that
the bountiful crop of last year will be
thrown into the shade by 81. Further
evidence of this is furnished by our
elevators, which took in for the frac-
tional part of August up to Sept. 1,
$4,000 bushels of No. wheat, which
was $4,000 bushels oyer the receipts
up to the same time last year, or more
than double. although prices have been
no better this year than last.
One day last week Mr.. Garner, on
John Whittet's farm in Three Lakes
counted 212 settings of wheat from q
high point on the place. As many Of
the settings contained q dozen stacks
or thereabouts, there must be between
fifty and one hundred thousand bush
els Of grain in sight.
