He QuEERs KELGEsoN.
A Grain Man Jumps on the State
Commissioner.


FARGO, n. d., Jan. 31.-Charles E.
Morton, of the firm of Morton & Co., ne
of the heaviest real estate dealers and
wheat buyers in the Northwest, replies
to Commissioner Helgeson's report on
the wheat crop in North Dakota,
now being published broadcast through
out the country, as follows:
Commissioner Helgeson makes the
whole crop of 1891 for North Dakota Ca
100000 bushels. To arrive at this CON
clusion this distinguished statistican
averages the crop at twenty-three bush
els per acre. OF course, such a paper
is an absurdity upon its face, for no one
in North Dakota believes for moment
that the average per acre was twenty
three bushels or twenty bushels,
or to exceed eighteen bushels per
acre. Then why should this man pro-
mitigate this statistical bosh? He either
had some ulterior object in view, or he
is iAnoeently being made the iEstru-
ment of some speculative gang that is
at this moment working to deoress the
value of our product. The government
report, which, ~ the way, is believed
TO be entirely too high, gives Dakota a
crop of 50. 100000 bushels grown on
2,927,274 acres, an average of less than
fifteen bushels per acre.

Fatal Shooting a fray in a Wis.
consin Town.
GREEN BAY, Wis, Jan. 31.-A sensa-
tional shooting affray took place here
last night in which Charles View was
shot dead and Joseph Brunette and
Adam View, two companions, were seri-
ously wounded by Martin Van Lannon,
sdloonkeeper. The three men began
the fight by jum9ing on Van Lannon
when he insisted upon pay for drinks
they had ordered. Mrs. Van Lannon
and the saloon keepers huge mastiff
came to the rescue. and for time the
result of the fight was predetermined.
One of the men fiually killed the dog
with a bung starter and VanIsannoR
and his wife fled to their home,
which adjolns the saloon, closely
followed by the trio. The fight
was kept up in the house. Van Lam
non ran to his bedroom, seized his re-
volver and turned on his pursuers. At
the first shot Charles View, who was
leading the attack, fell dead with bull
let through his heart. His companions
turned to flee, but before they could
make their escape Brunette was shot
three times through the body, and one
ball lodged in Adam Views arm. Bru-
nette will probably die.

Big Blow at Vienna.

VIENNA, Jan. 31.-A terrible gale be-

and prevailed all day Saturday. The
wind was so violent that it was abso-
lutely dangerous for foot passengers
to venture into the streets, where the
peril was great, owing to falling roof
tiles and the hurting to the pavements
of other objects dislodged from the
buildings, The fury of the wind was
SO great that number of vehicles were
capsized, including large wagon
loaded with farm produce. BY this over
turn thousands of eggs were smashed
and lot of butter was ruined. A num-

full, inasmuch as crowds Of people from
10 O'Clock until crushed through the
corridors eager to see the young ladies.
At an early hour Presbyterian preach
er went to Miss Mitchell's room and
asked to pray for her, but the young
lady does not put much faith in the
efficacy of prayer. Miss johnson being
Catholic, the preachers offer to pray in
The crime was made to them the theme
III a sermon by one Of the local minis
tiers. Other divineS referred to
1t during their morning sermons.
In the afternoon an evangelist went to
the Jail and preached to the prisoners
almost in ear-shet Of the young ladies,
referring to Miss Mitchell as an awful
example as to what ideas of right and
wrong would drive people to do. The
state and the lawyers for Miss Mitchell
hold opposite opinions as to the cause
for the commission of the crime. The
attorney general will attempt to show
that Alice Mitchell either killed Freda
Ward to avenge herself ON Miss Wards
sister, Mrs. Valmer, or that there had
been misunderstanding between the
SLAYER and her victim. and that Miss
Mitchell, moved by hate, killed her.
One OF the theories of the state is that
there is man in the case.
The attorney general will prove her
love for flirting by the recitation of sew
eral of her escapades, the principal of
which is her meeting several young
men in an out-of-the-way part of the
nit Nhn tot hoe lott
atIwork and they have already unearthed
some damaging facts. One of these
is that when Miss Mitchell slew Freda
Ward man was seen following Misses
Mitchell and johnson in buggy. When
Alice Mitchell leaped into the buggy
after the commission of the crime this
Nun drove rapidly away. On the fol-
!, lowing morning he left the city and has
been tracked to New Orleans. 1t is
thought that it was he to whom Miss
Mitchell on Sunday night communicated
her intention OF killing Miss Ward.
The attorneys for Miss Mitchell will
at once put in plea of insanity. If
Mss Mitchell be sent to the asylum.
then Miss johnson will have to fight for
her life alone. This afternoon Miss
Johnson said Miss Mitchell kept her in
ignorance as to her intentions, and
when she left the buggy to cut the
Ward girls throat, she Informed her
that she intended once more to kiss
Freda good-by. There is young law
yer here who says that some time ago
he received letter from young LADY,
including fee, and asking him if, UNI
der the common law one woman might
marry another. He was directed to
mail his reply to certain postoffice adj
dress. He did as requested. and, after
the tragedy. discovered that his client
was Miss Mitchell.

makes 1T interesting Tor the PO-
lice at Chelsea.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-Today's rloting at
Chelsea was repetition on somewhat
smaller scale of Sundays disturbance.
Again woman was put forward to
defy the police and provoke arrest. Last
Sunday the female who filled this role
was laundress named Ham, who was
taken into custody after having made
things very uncomfortable for the con-
stables. Today the part was played by
Mrs. Sykes, whose occupation is not re-
corded, but who, if not strong minded.
is at least strong in muscle and lungs.
She was delivering a harangue evidently
framed with the express purpose of
forcing the officers to interfere in the
interests of law and order, to say moth
Ing of the public peace and quiet, when
arrested. Her own resistance to the of
ficer who took her in charge was aided
by the efforts of the crowd of her male
sympathizers, and the PUSHES made by
the mob were ugly ones for the police
to repulse. The officers realized that it
was no time for trifling, and they used
their batoDs without stint, many heads
being broken IN the melee. This con-
fiict, of course, ended in dispersal of the
crowd and tine ending of the So-called
mass meeting.

The Injury to the Man-of-War
Victoria Very Serious.
LONDON. Jan. 31.-The accident to the
British man-of-war Victoria, which went
ashore on the Greek coast, is worse than
at first reported, and the vessel is in
danger of becoming complete wreck.
The Victoria struck on the rock in a
slanting position, but with great force,
and large hole was stove in the iron
shell of the vessel. At first it had been
thought that the shell had not been
penetrated, but upon such examination
rs could be made it was found that the
force with which the vessel struck OH
the rock had caused a dangerous frac-
ture., There is twenty-five feet of water
in the hold and the vessel is keeled
over to- some extent. Should a storm
arise it might be very difficult to save
her. She is considered one OF the finest
armor-clad battle ships, and the loss of
such vessel would be most serious
blow to the navy.

KILLED FOR APPLIANCE.
A Magdeburg Girl Murdered for
a Small Sum.

Small Sum.
BERLIN, Jan. 31.-A ease resembling
that of the Schneiders, the horrible de-
tails of whose crimes have just shocked
the world as revealed in the court at
Vienna, has come to light in Madgeburg.
AS in the Schneider case, the victims in
the present instance were serving
women. The full particulars in posses
sion of the police have not been made
public, but it is known that man
named Erbe and his paramount, woman
named BuntrOck, have been ar
rested on charge of making
way with young woman
named KlagS. daughter of the
steward of an estate near Madgeburg.
1t is alleged that Erbe and his female
accomplice lured the girl to Hanover on
pretense that she was desired to accom-
pany family of that city on a trip to
Italy. AT Hanover, where the girl was
a total stranger, it was comparatively
easy TO fitch her smaiI stock of funds
and put her out of the way without
leaving clue to direct suspicion to-
wards the murderers. At least this is
what the police expect to prove was
done. and they also claim to have evil
dence that the first victim of the couple
was woman named Hasten, of Madge-
burg, and these two were not the only
ones robbed and murdered by the imi-
tatorS of the Vienna monsters. The
revelations at the forthcoming eXamina-
ton of the prisoners are expected with
much interest.

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 81. = The
GLOBE hit the nail squarely on the
head the other day when it said that in
North Dakota politics will be rather
more uncertain than usual this year,
This, if the readers must have diagram
with his editorials, means that the
Democrats stand better chance than
ever of electing some of their men on
the state ticket, if not the head of the
ticket himself. The Republicans have
dallied with Dame Prohibition to
such an extent that they will
have to make tremendous strug-
gle in the coming campaign to
maintain themselves. They are saying
that, as this is presidential year, the
members of the party will be held in
line, and there is no danger. But the
prohibition plumbers, the dlsaffection Of
factions in the Republican party. the
struggle on the part of so many aspir-
ing members Of the g. o. p. for place
and power. mean that there is a chance
for the Democrats if they only seize it.
1t is noteworthy fact that the ''old
gang" headed by Alec Mckenzie, never
allow man to have the same sort of a
cherry twice if they can help it. Under
territorial days Raymond was sent to
congress once and retired. Clifford fol-

who are moDopolists should not be
willing to allow him to succeed

he had not allowed himself to be run by
Hansbrough in the matter of appoint

lent fighting chance to elect Casey's sue
