HENDERSON, Mimi. Feb. 13.-Jndge
Caldwell today denied the motion for a
new trial in the case of James O'Neill,
who was convicted of murder in the first
degree last December for the killing of
Michael Collins while in an alteration
over well on the Goth of last Septem-
Der. After the denial of a new trial,
followed by short plea for mercy, by
the Defendants counsel, Cy Wellington,
Judge Caldwell COMMITTED the penalty
OF hanging to imprisonment for life at
hard labor in the penitentiary. When
the prisoner was asked what he had to
say for himself, and whether he was
sorry for what he did, the re-
Spouse was: "Yes, l am sorry,
but it is too late now"
WhereupOn the judge sentenced him as
above stated, giving as a reason for
making the sentence light, that the de-
fendant was unduly exerted at the time
OF the shooting. The scene was a very
stirring one. the judge himself being
very much affected. as were also many
others iii the court room. The action of
the court meets with considerable salts
faction, as an almost universal opinion
prevailed that the prisoner would have
TO hang. O'Neill's own testimony on
the trial was in substance that he had
deliberately and without warning shot
the deceased, Collins. His own testi-
mony was regarded the strongest for
conviction. The case has excited much
interest. and has cost Sibley county
$500.

He Isn't Chopping Up Live Cattle,
as Reported.
Special to the Globe
PINE CITY, Mimi, Feb. 13.-Henry
Haskins. of Duluth, agent for the state
humane society, attracted by the ac-
counts in the daily and weekly papers
of the action of William Francv, of Pine
City, in viclously manning neighbours
cattle, came here yesterday to investi-
gate the matter, and, if true, to prose-
cute MIR. Francy to the full extent of the
law. After a full and careful IN
quiry into the matter, Mr.. Haskins
1indS no cause of action against Mr..
Franey, but, on the contrary, finds that
the whole matter has been grossly mis-
represented and exaggerated. Mr.. Rob-
inson's cattle run at large, get their
drink by crossing MIR. Francy's land.
and are continually in Franey's yard
and grounds in search of food. Trying
to drive them out, Mr.. Francy, in his
evaporation, threw his ak at the cattle
thoughtlessly and heedlessly, and cut
one of them. for which he was very
sorry and offered the fullest reparation,
even to allowing his neigbbor to go into
his herd and select his best cow
in the place of the injured one.
Mr.. Francy is one of our most peaceable
and respected citizens, prosperous
farmer, and has the respect of all
parties. Busy-bodies have done him
gross injustice in rushing this affair
into print and giving it such distorted
prominence. He has kindly allowed
his neighbor. with whom at the present
time he is on good terms, to drive his
cattle across his land to the water, and
only asks that he accompany them and
keep them out of his yard and away
from his haystack. Instead of Mr.
Franey being guilty of misdemeanor,
he is citizen whom the people are
proud of, and only wish we had more of
such. j. T. STONE.

THE EARLY DATE GOES.
Croker and Murphy Opposed to a
Change

NEW YORK, Feb. t3.-Members of the
Democratic state committee were asked
yesterday what they thought of the
Cooper union protest against mid.
winter convention, and whether they.
felt like changing the date, Some of.
the committeeman frankly said that
they would not vote to postpone the
meeting of the convention. Others
seemed inclined to think about the sub
ject.
Richard Croker said: mo, l do not
favor changing the date of the conven-
ton. think the time set is as good as
any other time. In fact little better,
because the farmers have nothing to do
now and they can attend. Later in the
season when the ground thaws out, they
will prefer to stay at home and pillow
rather than attend any convention"
Chairman Edward Murphy Jr., of the
Democratic state committee, said: 1.-The
convention will meet at the time and
place designated and called, and will
undoubtedly transact the business for
which it is called. The gentlemen who
participate in the proceedings of that
convention will certainly support the
nominee of the convention that meets in
Chicago June 81.

JIMMY IN CONTEMPT,
And His Young Wife Will Get
Her Divorce

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Feb. 13.-The di-
vorce case of Blaine VS.. Blaine is practl-
cally settled. A decree Will be granted
to Mrs. James &. Blaine Jr by default
This afternoon Judge c. G. Palmer, at
torney for Mrs. Blaine, served notice Oh
McMartyn & Garland, attorneys
for defendant, of an order issued
by Judge Thomas, asking them to
show cause why the answer of
the defendant should not be stricken
out. The defendant, according to the
judges order, has disobeyed every order
of the court, and is now in contempt for
having failed to pay the suit fees and
alimony. The order is returnable on
the 10th, but the time will be extended
to the 18th. The order also asks for i'm
mediate trial. The attorneys for the
defendant will not go to Deadwood and
will make no answer to the order. This
means that the case will go by default,
giving Mrs. Blaine her decree and prob
ably the custody of the child.

A SCIENTIFIC VIEW.
Natural Result of Sun Spots and
Others Coming.

CHICAGO. Feb. ia gorgeous illu-
mination of the heavens was visible to-
night at cities over thousand miles
apart. 1t was the most wonderful ey-
hibition of the aurora or northern lights
possibly ever seen from American cities.
Dispatches show that the phenomenon
extended over great belt of territory
from Minnesota to the Atlantic coast.
The magnificent spectacle was scien-
tifically observed at the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor. Astronomical
Director w. j. Hussey, of that institu-
ton, writes the result as follows: 1.-The
brilliant rose-red aurora visible tonight
was not altogether unexpected. In a
general way anrOraS have been predict
ed for about this time. Tonight's dis
play is the natural result of the appear
ance OF the great sun spot which has
been visible during the past week.
Other aurora displays may be expected
in the near future"
Other dispatches show the phenome-
non was Witnessed at New York, LOUIS
vile, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus,
Toledo, Detroit. indianapolis, Mime
sofa, Illinois and Iowa points, but not
at st. Louis, Kansas City or Memphis.
At Cincinnati it was first supposed that
thO Guy VI hdiIiiIloH, twenty-five miles
north, was on fire.
A CORRESPONDENT at Lyons, To-, gives
typical description as follows: From
east to west the northern sly here was
Illuminated by an immense half-circle
CT light flaming upward nearly to the
zenith. At first almost blood red. it
dimmed at times to delicate pink, and
would brighten suddenly. The circle
was shot with rays OF al
most white lights all point
ing outward from the circle. 1t
began at 6 p. M, and for an hour was
gorgeous sight. AT 7p. m. it began dis
appearing. The weather had been very
warm throughout the day, but after the
aurora is rapidly growing cold.
The aurora was plainly visible in
Milwaukee. The peculiar disturbance
known to telegraph operators as an
electric storm greatly hampered OPP
orators working wires stretching north
from this city, but did not materially
affect the line going east and west.

RARE OCCURRENCES.
Prof. StockweI Accounts for the
Display.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 13.-The extra
ordinary brilliancy of the aurora bore
ais this evening caused marked COM
ment in this city. Prof. j. n.
Stockwell, the well known astronomer,
was questioned regarding this sim
gular display. and said it had been
thirty years since he saw such phenom-
ena. Il had about forgotten them, as
they seem to have gone out of the fash
ion. From 1850 to 1862 the appearance
of northern lights were quite frequent"
He said the phenomena were simply
electrical displays, about which little is
known. They seemed to be electric
al discharges caused by magnetic dis
turbances and that they cannot be more
than fifty or sixty miles high.
1.-The fact of the matter is" said he.
nobody knows anything about them
more than that they are electrical dis
turbances."

HILL MEN HUSTLING.
The Senator Securing Delegations
in Droves.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 13.-Though
Senator Hill is in New York, his head
quarters at the Delavan house is lively
political place now, his secretaries be-
ing kept busy filing letters and opening
kilograms. This evening returns from
a dozen district conventions had just
been received showing that Hill had
captured all of the delegates at those
conventions today, and in many reso-
lutions were passed indorsing his can
didacy for president. Last night a
long dispatch was sent out from
Albany to the South and West, which,
it is charged. was disseminated to hurt
Hill in the South and West, and the
friends of Hill are complaining. This
affair was the sensation of the day at
HIPS headquarters. Up to date the
books show that Hill has over one hum
dred delegates to his credit. while the
Cleveland book shows but six delegates
elected SO far.

WANT HOME RULE.
The Utah Commission Alleged to
Be No Good.

BE No Good.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The senate
committee on territories this morning
gave another hearing to delegation
from Utah, in favor Of the senate bill to
give Utah the right of self-government
such as other territories have. The
arguments today were devoted to a re-
hearsal of whaG the speakers asserted to
be the Encouragement of the affairs of
the territory by its officials; the illegal
use of the powers vested in the Judi
ciary; the corrupt methods practiced in
local elections and the neglect of the
Utah commission to properly supervise
them: the improper exercise of the veto
power by the governor, and the bad
government generally to which the peo-
pie were subjected, and from which
they asked relief by congress.
{. Z. Richards, a lawyer, of Ogden,
spoke OF the election laws In the terri
tory, and the methods pursued in con-
Quoting them. Mr.. Richards said the
condition Of affairs is such as might
have been expected from the hands of
strangers. The commission, from the
time it first came into Utah until now,
has never lost an opportunity to de-
prive the people of their sacred rights,
and, when protest was made, they
rushed before the people of the coun-
try with some hldeous nightmare to
arouse the public prejudice against the
people of the territory.
AT this point Senator Davis said: do
you mean by that that Senators Ramsey
and Paddock have been engaged in that
sort of work?" 1--WE do, most decid-
edly," said Mr.. Richards.
Speaking upon the judicial system, he
10 ~
as enemies rather than as friendly arbi-
traitors. He denied that polygamy ex-
listed in the territory, and thought the
people were as law-abiding as any in
the country. They were entitled to
local self-government. like other states
and territories, and all they asked was
trial. If they were found incompetent
to govern themselves, then congress
could again take the matter in hand.

CUT THEIR THROATs.
A Young Couple in Tennessee Sui.
eide Together.

GALLATIN. Tenn, Feb. ia moss
deplorable tragedy is reported from
Portland, small town in the northern
portion of Sumner county. Elvis Par
due, & well-known young farmer of that
neighborhood, and his wife were found
at their home this morning, lying dead
on the floor Of the bedroom. with their
Threats cut from ear to ear. The cir
canstaneeS are such as to create the
belief that the deaths were both the
result of deliberately planned suicides.
Both bodies were lying on pillows
on the floor, and near Mrs. Pardue
was a bloody razor, with which the
CHASTITY deed had been committed.
The fact that the razor lay nearest Mrs.
Pardue when found, has led to the con-
lecture that she was the last to use the
instrument of death. In fact this
theory is Suppoted by a note. which is
said to have been found in the room,
written in Mrs. Pardue's hand and
signed by her, i'll which she states that
her husband had no friends. and as he
had concluded to commit suicide, she
would take her own life rather than live
without him. The couple had been
married only a year. They appeared
TO live happily, and no cause can be
OWNED for the melancholy that seems
to have led to so desperate determinao
tiOn.

HURON, S. D., Feb. 13.-Alonzo War
dali, president of the Alliance Hail and
Alliance Aid associations, said today
said that his connection with the Ma
tional Cordage and National Union
companies was only to the extent that
while working the Alliance Aid bust
ness he talked favorably for the Ma
tional Union when occasion offered.
He assumed that the National Cordage
company and Waterbury company were
interested, because of direct dealings
with the Alliance state agents, but the
National Alliance never Endorsed it,
nor is it any part of the Alliance, al
though the scheme is the same for which
the Alliance was originally organized.
and the cooperative system of Alliance
purchases and sales would knock out
middle men, which the Alliance has al
ways Striyen to do. As to the 1925, 600
check, he said it was given merely to
convince manufacturers and others that
the new company has ample financial
backing and was able to carry out all
contracts. He says he doesn't know
that the matter will be brought before

week. He believes newspapers are

FARIBAULT, Feb. Is. - Early this
morning the property known as Brant's
brewery was destroyed by fire. This
property is now owned by Peter Wool
ford, of Minneapolis, and is valued at
$4,000. The property was somewhat
run down. but the original cost of the
property when new and in operation
was between $4,000 and 100000. The
building was used by Abraham Post, of
this city, as stock barn, and was full
of fine blOoded horses and colts at the
time of the fire, and of which nineteen
were burned, a number being saved.
The property is just on the outskirts of
Faribault, and thus made it late when
the fire department arrived. The loss
on the horses is from $1,000 to $1,000.
There is no insurance on either the
building or horses. The origin of the
FIRE is not known, but it is thought to
have been the work of incendiaries.

Demaray, young man less than thirty
years old, who married wealthy farm
er's widow of seventy-two, near Ore
gon, ILL.,, last November. Demaray
went to the widows farm as tramp
last summer, hired out as farm hand,
and won the old lady'S confidence. He
induced her to deed him her farm and
then to marry him, regardless of the
efforts of a large family of adult chill
dren to break up the proceeding. The
children are now making legal investi-
cations to try and GUST Demaray from his
easily acquired wealth of $4,000. There
is nothing against Demaray's character
Of which they can make any use in the
courts. The children seem to have no
legal remedy and will be obliged to
leave the eccentric couple to enjoy
their ill-assorted welded life.
