president of the Kansas City club, ar
rived here last night. They have been
prowling around the Yellowstone re-

stage coach ride. This is what Mr..
Krau thOtf says about it:
"While journeying along, the stage
suddenly stopped with a jerk that piled
us in heap in one corner. Two seven
shooters were at the windows of the
coach, and we were politely asked by
two masked men to hand over our val
uables. We passed over what little
change we had, amounting to over $500
in cash, besides watch or two and
some little trinkets. After thanking
us for our kindness, the men turned
the coach around and told us the best
thing we could do would be to turn
back for the railroad station at once.
We started Immediately, and, upon
reaching telegraph Office, had to send

you can well imagine what a great
pleasure it is to run out of the rain and
mist that have hOvered about our train
for an hour or two into the sunshine and
gladness of this welcome which you

under these influences you must all find
inspiration for good citizenship, and 1t
is pleasant to know that what you re-

the hearts of our people. Far away on
the Sacramento, as well as upon the
beautiful Hudson, men love the flag of
Washington.

DULUTH, Mimi. Aug. 1S.-The police
bf this city made a CHASTITY discovery
,his afternoon IN a little Shanty III Mer-
chants Park addition, about four miles
from this city. Detective Tom Hayden
was notified that there was an old man
locked in room and being gradually
starved to death. Upon arrival at the

boards. His body bore marks of terrible
abuse. and the room was so foul with
human waste and other naStineSS that
The detective could not stay there. lie
reported the case TO headquarters. and
lhe man was taken to the hospital in
patrol wagon. In the front part of the
house where the man was found lives
James Lindberg with his wife and two
children. NeighbOrs say that they have
often heard blows and piteOuS cries
coming from the room as though they
had been beating him. The cause of
this abuse is said to be a desire on the
part of Lindberg and his wife to have
him die, and by dint of beating and
starving they have almost succeeded.
Stangberg is worth about $4,000, and
years ago he made a will. leaving
$4,000 to Lindberg, whose first wife
was Stangberg's daughter. and $50 90
apiece to each of his children. 1t is the
most aggravated case of cruelty that
can be imagined. Stangberg is about
sixty years oldl and has lived in Amer
lea twenty years. For the last three
years he has been kept prisoner in the
little room where lie was found to-
night The Lindbergs will be arrested
tomorrow. During the time between
Hayden's discovery and his second visit
the LindbeTgs had cleaned out the
room where the old man lay, and had
also put some clothes on him. As the
detective approached the bed Lindberg
came in and said in a very tender tone of
voice: Don't you want something to
