Special to the Globe
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Jan. 27.-Two
confidence men were captured yester-
day at Marshfield, Wis. They got M.
Peterson. an Eau Claire man, to make
change for them. Peterson was travel
ing from Marshfield to Eau Claire on the
Central. One of the men stood in the
aisle talking to Sheriff Fleming, of Eau
Claire, so as to keep him from watching
the game. The confidence man asked
i Peterson for two fiyes for ten. When
Peterson opened his pocketbook the
man said: II see you have more tens ::
give me thee tens for fves." Peterson
did SO. and when the man was handing
him the fives he palmed off six ones.
/ They then went to the end of the car
and got off at the station. Sheriff Flem-
ing then said to Peterson:
'sWhatcver you were saying or doing
to those men they got the better of you"
Peterson replied: II know my own
business. got good United States
money in exchange for good money"
The sheriff had to coax him consider
ably to open his pocketbook, and when
he did there were six ones instead of
six fives. The sheriff told Claim Agent
Harrington. of the Central. They
stopped the train. and went back to
Spencer. but found the men had left for

train for Marshfield. and soon run them
down. Strang to say, they broke out of

the city marshal, turned out and ran
them down, and caught them behind
one of Mayor Upham's lumber piles.
They offered $50 to be allowed to go
free. Peterson got his money back,
and had his expenses paid. The pris-
oners and their money, over 5000, are in

Cotton Planters Formulate Their
Ideas.
AUGUSTA. Ga, Jan. 27.-The conven-
ton of cotton men and cotton planters.
called by tine Augusta exchange, met
here today. The subject Of reduction
of cotton acreage was fully discussed,
and, after debate, the following was
adopted:
Resolved That this convention memorial
lie the legislatures of the cotton states, rec
ommending the enactment of such laws as
they in their wisdom may think best calcu-
lated to accomplish the following results:
tlrst-lhe auoption among US of the Aus
tralian or some similar system for the regis
tratlon of land titles and transfers SO as 10
rend these evidences of property as secure
aud as easily ana cheaply transferable as
state and corporate bands and stocks now
are.
2 To secure more effectually than at pres
ent and all rights and privileges appertain--
ing or in any way belonging to land (for ex-
ample the right TO game and the power to
dispose of it as secured by law i'll Germany
TO owners of land for their sole use and dis
posal.
3. That all agricultural lands be classified,
and permanent valuation for taxation fixed
upon them, as was done in England by an
act of parliament in 1862; and that there
after, for period CT thirty-three years, no i'm
provements of agricultural lands be subject
to assessment and taxation.
4. Ihat to meet the present and prospec-
tive depreciation of cotton, threatening
bankruptcy, moderate license tax be placed
on cotton acreage for a period of four years,
lifting the burden of taxation from all other
crops and restraining the improbable culture
of cotton.
This last action was amended so as to
suggest careful consideration by the
legislatures of the subject OF cotton tax.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2I-Up to midnight
tonight no tidings had been received of
the missing tug Webster and her tow Of
garbage scows which dyifted out TO sea
thirty-six hours ago. All the tugs
that went out to assist in the
search for the missing craft were
compelled to put back repeatedly owing
to the high seas and winds. AT the

where the men on the Webster were
given up for lost early this morning.
She was provisioned for a week. and
had large supply of coal. The scows
are considered unsuitable. Their

it is not thought at the office
where they, were owned, that they were
provisloned. The tug G. W. Runney

grounded, and the tug, which was tow

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 27.-The
prosecution is greatly pleased tonight
with the prospect of convictiug Bob
Musgrave for conspiracy to obtain
money by false pretenses. The defense
has made a persistent effort to save
him by interposing the technicalities Of
the law, but the judge has invariably
ruled against them. Some strong testi-
mony was presented to the jury today.
A. George Mackie, of the Chicago Of
flee of the United States Mutual Acct
dent association, testified to Musgrave
taking out policy for $1,000 Aug. II,
1891. Charles Howard, of Joseph L.

scented AS friend. Witness received

He Finds a Valuable Piece of Va
cant Government Land.
BROWNS VALLEY, Jan. 27.-It seldom
occurs that piece OF vacant govern
ment land worth from Sc. 600 to 5000 is
found within half a mile of prosperous
town, but such find has lately been
made here, and yesterday the piece
was squatted on by F. j, Steidl, of this
place. Several other parties have been
quietly looking up this property
to find il it was open to entry, but Mr..
Steidl had discovered enough to make
time and to run no risks. He made ar
engagements very quietly, and yesterday
morning by clock had lumber on the
ground, and was building shsnty.
Great excitement was caused by this
move, as it is rumored that there are
other pieces In the same condition as to
title as is this piece. Maps and
plats are being carefully scanned and
others may try their luck. The land is
about half mile from town and nearly
adjoining the Sisseton Indian reserva-
ton. 1t is unimDroved, aud a conserv-
alive estimate of its value would be $40
to $50 an acre. There are about 100
acres in this piece of rich agricultural
and meadow land, bordered with timber
and with running water. L. has always
been considered part of the large farm
of Gen. George l.. Becker, who owns
several thousand acres in the same
vicinity.
The new claimants to the land con-
slider that it is unsurveyed government
land. They believe that when this part
OF Minnesota was surveyed the Little
Minnesota river formed part of the
boundary on the west, between Lakes
Traverse and Big Stone. When the
territory of Dakota was surveyed
a line was laid out running
straight from the head of Lake
Traverse to the head of Big Stone lake,
and the river winds back and forth
across this line. The claim is that the
land lying between the present bound
airy line and the river, on the Mime
sofa side, has therefore never been sur
veyed, and is vacant government land.
1t is generally believed that this idea is
correct, and that the new claimants can
thus secure good title to some land
which is yery valuable

RED WING, Mimi, Jan. GA sensa-
ton which nearly equals that of the
Robert Ray Hamilton case in New York
three years ago was sprung here this
morning, when Ezra Park Foot, the
scion of parents of great wealth, brought
suit against his wife, Florence Mama
Blood. asking that their pretended mar
rage be declared null and void. Young
Foot, who gives his age as twenty-five
years, makes the remarkable allie
CATION in his complaint that his
wife forced him to marry her by a
course of deception almost beyond hu-
man belief. He alleges that he was
wed to Miss Blood in the usual manner,
she then being girl of twenty-five, on
Dec. IL, 1889. at Camden, N. j., and
lived with her as her husband until
July Is, 1891. Foot states, in his COM
plant, that he first met Miss Blood at
Philadelphia in the fall of 1887, and that
they met often thereafter in Philadel-
phia and New York. He asserts that
in August, 1889, she charged him with
conduct which would result in her be-
coming mother for the purpose of
forcing him to marry her. At
later period she represented
to him that the child had been born. and
that it was sick in New York. He says
he was then living at Lancaster. Pa.
and that Miss Blood visited him there
several times. at each visit representing
that the child was too sick to be brought
to Lancaster. Continuing, he alleges
that, relying On her false and fraudu-
lent statements, he married Miss Blood
at Camden, n. j.. as stated. About the
Goth of December, 1890, Mrs. Foot
came to Minnesota with the child
and continued to live with young
Foot at Red Wing until July rs. 1891, at
which time she, with the child, re-
! turned 10 Philadelphia with the avoWed
intention OF visiting her parents. About
the 18th day of August, 1891, Foot says,
he first learned that all representations
and statements made to him by his wife
were untrue; that the child was the
!. child of one Mrs. Theresa Campbell;
J that he was born of said Mrs. Theresa
Campbell on the 10th day of May,
1889, in the city of New York;
and that Mrs. Foot secured the
child on or about the 5th day of Deem
Der, 1890, for the purpose of deceiving
him. knowing that all her statementsin
reference thereto were wholly false and
untrue, and made to Foot for the fraud
ulent intent of inducing him to marry
her. Since discovering this Foot al
leges that he has never lived with his
wife, and as he alleges he was induced
ito marry her by reason of false claims
he asks that the pretended marriage be
adjudged null and void.

HOPPING ON HILL.
Newspapers Assert He Has Made a
Bad Mistake

New YORK, Jan. 7.-Commenting on
the selection by the Democratic state
committee of Albany, Feb. %, as the
place and date for the Democratic state
convention, the World says: A delega-
ton from New York, chosen after only
twenty-six days notice, three months
earlier than than the convention in 1888
and four months in advance of that of
1884, can hardly command the respect at
Chicago which would belong to dele
CATION chosen at the usual time, in the
customary manner, and after full and
free canvass of the Democratic voters.
Senator Hill will have united delega-
ton from New York to the national
convention. Nevertheless, we think
that the senator, who SO seldom errs
in matters political, has made mis-
take.
The Times says: The Hill managers
undoubtedly congratulate themselves,
and with reason, on their control of the
party machinery. They have yet to
learn that there is wide difference be-
tween the power to nominate and the
power to elect.

HAS A FIsHY FLAVOR.
Alleged Certainty That Cleveland
Is to Pull Off.

Is to Pull Off.
NEW YORK, Jan. pa dispatch from
Albany, n. Y, to the World says: The
history of secret and recent political
movement in this state confirms
in every particular the story pub
lished the other day that ex-President
Cleveland has contemplated for some
time writing a letter announcing his
withdrawal as a possible candidate for
the presidential nomination by the
Democrats. That he still intends to
write such letter is believed by some
of his friends. They will not be sur
priSed if 1t is made public within three
weeks. The letter would have already
been published, but for the prD-
testatiOn of friends. He is now be-
lieved to be merely awaiting develop
ments which these friends hope may at.
tend the movementthey have put under.
way. Whenever they have been asked
about the prospects they speak in a
most despairihg tone. Most Of them
say it would be folly to begin contest.
Mr.. Cleveland has been quoted as ad-
ylsing them that if the majority of the
party seems to be against him, they
must not seek to create any factional
differences, as he is too good Demo-
crat, not to be willing. cheerfully, to
bow to the will of that majority. A
gentleman who has the very best
sources of political information in this
state, says that he is confident Mr..
Cleveland will write and publish his
letter of withdrawal from the presi-
Dental race within three weeks.
