HIS SEARCH IS REV WARDED.
she DIDN'T KNOW HER OWN
HUSBAND.
Mrs. Barbara Hahn Is DIscoV-
cred by Her Yankton Hus-
band In Denver but De-
nies Ever Seeing
Him Before.
One Must Be Mistaken.


Denver. Special, Dec. 27.-Three years
ago Mrs. Barbara Haehn mysteriously
disappeared from Yankton, s. ID. The
good people of the town thought she
had been foully dealt with, and her
disappearance caused great excitement
at the time. Her little children were
left without u mother. MIR. Haehn's
lot was a hard one. He always believed
that his wife lived and had deserted him
and her family, and he determined to
find her dead or alive. He kept his sus-
picions to himself, and for three years
has been hanging doggedly on her trail.
He came TO Denver about week ago
and the second day after he got here
he saw his wife in the company of
Richter, who had left Yankton about
a month before the disappearance of Mrs.
Haehn. He lost sight of them in the
crowd, so he haunted the streets, en-
deavoring to find out where they live.
He was rewarded for his search and
located the couple in their boarding
house to-day. When Haehn entered the
house he ran to embrace his faithless
wife, and her screams attracted the at
tention of her husband No. 2, who was
in an adjoining room. He ran to her
assistance and grasped hold of husband
No. 1 by the neck, and was strangling
him TO death until neighbors interfered
and released husband No. 1, who tried
to explain the situation, but found no
sympathizers. He then demanded pos
session of his lawful wife, but she
denied ever seeing the man before, and
said he must be crazy. She went into
Mysteries, and husband No. 1 was flung
down stairs. He again tried to make
an entrance, and begged the woman
for the sake of her children to return to
her home. Finding that all his entreat-
les were in vain he determined on hav-
ing satisfaction. He went and had both
arrested on the charge of adultery.
Haehn is a man of means and is de-
termined to prosecute his faithless wife
and her paramour

Indians are becoming apprehensive of the
presence of so many white men passing over

Navajo Frank more than appears on the

TIE NITAL OFFENCES.

Senator Hale has made vigorous and de-
termned effort TO have the work Of building
the new Navy continued. The House, under
pressure from the Committee on Appropria-
tions restricted itself to the authorization of
single new vessel, a duplicate of the armored
cruiser New-YOr and even then it declined
to appropriate any money for constructions
The Senate Committee on Naval Affairs has
recommended several additional vessels one
battle-ship of 5000 tons. another harbor-
defence dOuble-turlet ship of 1900 tons, and
four light draft gunboats and six torpedo
boats. No appropriations were made for these
vessels, but authority for constructing them
was conferred by the proposed amendments
The effect of these amendments would be to
enable the Navy Department to prepare the
designs and to be in readiness to offer pro-
posals to contractors year hence when APP
preparations have been made for construction
As nearly all the new ships now under contract
will be in an advanced stage of progress by
that time, the appropriation bill of the next
financial year will be heavily reduced The
sums required for beginning the proposed YES
sells will take the place of the final instruments
for the ships which are now nearly completed /;
and the aggregate will not be increased These
considerations have determined the action of
Senator Hale in pressing the amendments so
as to prevent cessation Of work on the new
Navy.
Without reference TO the fate of the battle
ship, the coast defencc monitor, and the smaller
craft recommended by Secretary Tracy, it NAV
be stated with positivcness that much has been
gained by legislation this year toward strength
ening the naval resources of the Nation. The
authorization of another cruiser like the New
York implies the obligation on the part of the
Democratic economists of the House to vote
financial supplies for its construction another
year. The New-York is known as an armored
cruiser, but SO competent a critic as Captain
Eardley-Wimot, of the English Navy has pro.
nounced her to be in reality fighting ship
capable of engaging on equal terms with battle
ships of the second class in European navies.
At least one fine vessel is to be added 10 the
Navy. even if Senator Hale's recommendations
are not carried out. Moreover, the foundation
for first-class auxiliary navy has been laid
by the legislation granting an American regis.
ter to the City of New-York and to the City OF
Paris with the understanding that two ships
Of equivalent tonnage shall be immediately
built in American shipyards. -Four 2O-knot
ships of great tonnage, built with special refer
ence to use as commerce destroyers in time of
war, will be most important addition TO the
naval resources of the country. With the
prospect of the construction of additional
steamers of high speed for this American line
and also for the Antwerp line, controlled by
the same capitalists. the building of cruisers

The abnormally heavy rains which have swollen

peculiar conduct Of the areas Of high pressure

South Atlantic coast, regularly and easily. With
curious obsinacy, they have stood day after day
