Cattlemen VIII Try Novel Scheme to
Evade Punishment.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 15.-Judge
Bailey, presiding in the Russell poison
case, received the following through the
postoffice. It is given as written:
EAU CLAIRE CITY, Wis. May IL, 1892.
Hon. W. F. Bailey:
DEAR SIR-Looking over your con-
mencing of your judgeship including the
rape case of Gernee, we would like to know
what is the use Of a jury or what way is
there left to put down crime of any kind;
to cut this matter short, there is only one
conclusion, and therefore we give you ten
days from this writing to leave the city,
and if not complied with we will give you
the privilege of choosing what tree you
wish to swing on in your house yard or
in the park or east of the Jail in the east
yard. This is fare warning. Your con-
stituents. WHITE CAPS.
There is no question that Judge Bal
ley will pursue his way and perform his
duty as he sees it regardless of threats of
this character. There was some clamor
over the Gurnee case, in which the judge
granted new trial after conviction, and
there has been great deal of complaint
from some of those who think that Mrs.
Russell is guilty, over the positions
taken by the judge in the trial; but the
best lawyers appear to generally uphold
the judge, and he is known to be both
upright and fearless.

MAY NEVER REACH TRIAL.

Wyoming Cattlemen VIII Try Novel
Scheme to Avoid Punishment.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 15.-Facts re-
Gently brought out indicate that the
prisoners of war may never have trial.
This can be the result without resort to
trickery or evasion of the law. The plan
is to have the men return to johnson
county for arrangement. They viii
plead not guilty to the information
charging them with the murder of
Champion. The prosecution cannot ask
for change of venue and the defense
will not. In jury getting the prisoners
are entitled to twelve peremptory chal-
lenges each or 52S in all. Many tales
men will, of course, be rejected for
cause. None of the 800 men who fought
the invaders at the T. A. ranch are
eligible as jurors in the case. At the
last general election johnson county
cast few more than 800 votes, and has
less now. Of the total about $50 ballots
were by women, who are rarely called
as jurors. These figures leave the GRIM
inals without their dozen challenges.
The law agrees that all would then be
discharged. They say this thing has
happened in Pennsylvania, Kansas and
California. The invaders will demand
trial all together.

SANK IN QUiCKSAND.

Peculiar Fate of a Norwegian Bark Or
the Coast of Sa ole Island.
HALIFAX, May ia vessel of 55S
tons burden together with the captain,
first mate, steward, carpenter and two
boys were swallowed up by q1icksand
on the northeast end of Sable island
Thursday night. The case is almost
without parallel. The vessel was the
Norwegian bark Henry, and she was on
her way from Fonsbere, Nerway,.in bal
last to Ship Harbor, N. S. The vessel
struck sand bar Thursday morning and
stuck fast. AS she did not take any
water the captain and some others de-
cided to remain on board until she could
be foated. The second mate, boat
swain and four seamen left the boat
Thursday and were taken aboard an
American schooner. Friday morning no
trace of the bark could be seen. She
had been swallowed up by the quick
sands which constitute that portion of
the bar. Search was made for the six
persons who had remained ON the vessel
but they too had disappeared.

Nine Men Killed at the Anaconda Mine
Near Butte, Mon.

NINE Mon Aucd at the Anaconda Mtne
Near Butte. Mon.
BUTTE, May 15.-An appalling acci
dent took place at the Anaconda mine.
Twelve men were caught in cave that
took place from the 500 level down to
the 800. The ground at the place where
the accident occurred is sloped out more
or less all the way, SO when it gave way
at the 500 all above, as far as stated,
gave way too. The mine is thoroughly
timbered. No fault can be laid to the
management in that respect. The acct
dent is simply one of those unavoidable
occurrences that may be expected any
time, but cannot be foreseen or prevent
ed. There were a dozen men working
in a slope near the 500
level at various distances down
from it. They were all caught in the
cave, which took place about 5 p. m.
Three of them, Mike Callahan, James
Breen and Robert Works, were near the
top of the cave and they were rescued
alive, but badly injured. The other
nine were so covered with debris, rocks
and timbers that life must at once have
been crushed out of them. The bodies
of three have been recovered. The work
of recovery of the others is slowly pro-
ceeding, but has to be undertaken with
care

About the Colored Brethren.

OMAHA, May 17.-Bishop Bowman
presided. Each bishop has presided one
day now, and the list will be gone
through again. The report of the COM
mittee ON itinerancy was called up and
postponed for the day.
The committee of the state Of the
church endorse the formation of a ma
tional Sabbath union. Its second re-
ports condemns the Southern outrages,
demands that congress take suitable &C
ton to suppress these growing unjust
and iAhuman acts, and calling upon the
secular and religious papers to unite in
putting down the evil. The report was
apopted.
The reception rendered DIR. Tighe Of
the Methodist Episcopal church South
was not as cordial as might have been.
The doctor made a powerful address, but
when in closing he said, 'Ehe best friends
the black men have got is the white men
in the South" a general volley of Kisses
arose. The doctor looked surprised and
quickly wound up his address and bid
the conference adieu. 1t was plain that
the unguarded action of the Southern
negroes in starting the Kissing had I'M
done all the good work toward a CONSOLE
dation of the two great bodies. In an
interview later DR.. Tighe vigorously e1-
pressed himself, saying that he took the
demonstration as it was intended, for an
insult to the church South.

CHICAGO, May 16.-The steam barge
w. P. Thew, which left South Chicago
at noon, when four miles from shore took
fire from an overheated smokestack. The
flames spread SO rapidly that the boats
were burned before they could be low

throw themselves into the lake to escape
the intense heat the excursion steamer
Sailor Boy was seen to be heading for
the burning vessel and they held on un-

after the boat had been damaged to the

A BIG FOUR WRECK
FIVE KILLED AND FIFTEEN INJURED IN
AcoLLlSloN NEAR CtEVES, O.

A Change in the Schedule Time the Cause
of the Accident-Fast Train on the Nor
folk and Western Ditched - Many In

CINCINNATI, May ga frightful COL
hsion occurred on the Big -Four road
near Cleves, resulting in the death of
five persons and the injury of twelve or
fifteen. The regular Sunday accommo-
dalton which usually leaves Aurora for
Cincinnati at $50 a. m. started at 7:3O
instead, owing to change in the sched-
ule which had just gone into effect. The
train consisted of combination baggage
car, smoking car and three coaches.
When near Cleves the engineer of the
passenger saw freight train approach
ing, but too late to prevent a collision.
The freight crew had forgotten about
the change in the schedule and supposed
the track was clear. the two engines
came together with a terrible crash. The
killed are:
w. o. EDWARDS, freight engineer,
Greensburg, Ind.
WILLIAM Hogs, passenger engineer,
Lawrenceburg, Ind.
DAVID Haywood, freight conductor, In
dianapolis.
HIRAM BRUCE, freight fireman, Green's
burg.
PHILLIP GRIBBEN, baggage master, Law
renceburg
The effect of the collision was terrific.
Both engines were battered into shape
less masses and rolled off the track.
The cars behind were smashed into
kindling and the track for one hundred
feet was torn up. Telegraph poles were
thrown down and it was two or three
hours after the wreck before word
reached this place and special train
was sent to the scene from Cincinnati.
Many of the wounded had been taken
away and the number cannot be- def
nitely known. 1t is claimed that some
of those thus provided for are in dying
condition. Not person on either train
escaped uninjured. 1t is believed that
there are from five to ten more dead In
the ruins, but the exact number cannot
be told at present.

ing to make an experiment which would
give results from all sections, sent out
sugar beet seed a year ago to farmers in
every county in Minnesota. When the
specimens were returned there was not
a county missing, and the directors of
the station have been able to make q
thorough report to the farmers of the
state. r..
In some sections of the state sugar
beets can be grown much better than
other, but even in the northern counties
a very fair sugar beet can be produced.
The analyses show that beets of profit
able grade can be grown in the south
ern part of the state, south of st. Paul.
The best district seems to be from Nc
Leod county east to the Mississippi
river and down the valley to Winona
and Houston counties. The soil espe-
cially well adapted for such crop. What
is most necessary for good growth is
plenty of rain. There is a mistaken
idea among the farmers that beets
raised for sugar should be grown very
large. Beets of about two pounds
in weight give the best returns,
and it is estimated that twenty tons can
be raised to the acre, which at $40 per
ton will give very good profit. The
beets which contain the greatest per
cent. of sugar weigh eighteen and
twenty ounces. Professor Harper, of
the experiment station, is an enthusiast
on this question. He has been East re-
Gently and has expended about 5000 in
sugar beet seed. This he has been dis
tributing throughout the state for this
years crop. A large refinery will prob
ably be established at Mankato. This
would enable farmers to find home
market and would insure the success Of
the enterprise in the state.
