A SHERIFF. IN SOAK.
He Collected Money After Being
Fired From Office.

Special to the Globe.
BLUNT, 5. D., March 14.-Ex-Sheriff,
or Sheriff Faust, as the case may be. of
Sully county, was taken to Jail at Pierce
Saturday evening, he having been
bound over to the grand jury, and hav-
ing failed, or refused, to give bonds for
his appearance in the sum of $500. AT
the last general election November.
1890 Faust. the sheriff at that time, and
ID. &. Smith were the opposing candi-
dates-Fausts the Republican, and
Smith the Independent candidate. In
cOnyasSing the vote the commissioners
saw fit to throw out the vote from what
is known as Little Bend township for
the reason that some nine United
States soldiers claimed the right to vote,
and the Judge of the election, not know
ing whether or not to allow them to
vote, struck upon the eXpedient OF hav-
ing the vote of said soldiers deposited In
a separate box, and the returns OF said
vote made on separate sheet. This
box containing the soldier vote was
deposited in the regular box, and the
returns made in such a manner that the
entire soldier vote might be eliminated
without jeapardiZing the returns of the
DdldHCc vi Glle pICClICI fOlC. DJ IllIOW-
ing out the vote of this precinct, en-
tire, Faust was elected by a small
majority and renewed his certificate
from the commissioners, and has con-
tinued to act up to date. Had the COM
missioners eliminated the soldiers vote
only from the aforementioned district
Smith would have been elected by
majority. Smith contested the election
of Faust and carried his case 10 the cir
cult court and Judge Fuller ordered the
vote of SAID precinct counted. Faust
appealed to the supreme court, where
the decision of the lower court was SuS-
tanned.
The commissioners then recanYassed
the vote and found that Smith was
elected and issued him a certificate.
This occurred some months ago. Faust
has persistently refused to tIrn over
the effects of the office, Notwithstanding
the commissioners have repeatedly or
dered him to do so, and have refused to
recognize him in an official capacity
On the other hand he has. as far as he
has had opportunity, officiated as sher-
if of the county. Some time last week
he held sale as sheriff, receiving the
fees for same. A warrant was sworn
out for his arrest OH the charge of re-
ceiving money under false pretenses.
He was arrested and his preliminary
hearing had before Judge Evarts. of
Onida, who held him to the grand jury
and fixed his bail at $500, which Faust
refused or filled to give.

Amount.

His Own Hand on Suits
Being Filed.

Testimony Given at Chicago
Shows Mrs. Dunton Was
Murdered.

DENVER. Col, March 1.-THE liquor
house of Jacob Boehm & Co., one of the
largest in the West, is in the hands OF
the sheriff. 1t was closed and deputy
placed in charge at 1890 o'clock this
afternoon. Two hours later Mr.. Boehm,
the senior member of the firm, was
found dead in a chair III a room at the
Windsor hotel. An empty bottle, which
had contained a solution of pruSSic acid,
: told the story. The first attachment
which was filed, and on which the store
was closed, was on a suit brought by
the First National Bank of Denver for
Sos, 1852.
When the papers were handed to MI.
Boehm he seemed to be expecting it,
and telephoned 10 his attorney. Earl B.
Coll. He fastened to meet him, and
together they went to the Windsor
house, where Mr.. Boehm registered and
was assigned to room, where he con-
suited with his attorney few moments
and then Mr.. Coll went to lunch. They
were TO meet again in the same room,
but when Mr.. Coll returned he found
his client dead.
= At present the claims made known
reach nearly 100000, and it is under
stood that there are many more to come.
but as the assets will not exceed $4,000
they are in no hurry to make known
how much they have lost. All claims
thus far are local, and none of the for
eign creditors have been heard from.
1t is also probable that other houses will
go under or suffer severely in the crash.
one firm having already been attached
i'll the same case for Sl5,S75. This suit
is also brought by the First National
bank. AS soon as the house was closed
Sam Rose, a broker, rushed in for
1885, and it Was this and the first at
taehmenG papers that lay on Mr..
Baehm's breast when his body was dis
covered. Other suits which followed
were from Reilly u Co, $4,000; S. j.
Greenbaum, 81. Louis, $1,000. Besides
these, the firm owes the American and
PEOPLES NatioAal banks sums said to
aggregate S49, 600. a. ,,ae
1t TRANSFERRED tate tonight that Boehm
is a 1orger, amd has forged ntiflier0,it;
warehouse certificates, obtained credit
OH their account here in Denver and
elsewhere. When the full details of his
transactions are learned they will prob
ably show that his fergeries amount to
a very nigh figure.

POUNDE ED 10 DEATH.
DR.. Scudder's Hearing Begun at
Chicago.

: DR.. Scudder's Hearing Begun at
Chicago.
8 CHICAGO, March 14.-The preliminary
arraignment of DR.. Scudder Oh the
charge of murder took place this after
noon before Justice Brayton. The pris-
oner was brought into court supported
on either side by a policeman, and
seemed unable to move without assist
ance. He was ashy pale, his eyes were
closed, and he gave no sign that he
realized the situation. He remained in
seeming stupor throughout the pro-
gceedingS except when portion OF the
skull of the murdered woman was eX-
hibited in evidence.
Two witnesses were examined, f. ii.
Dunton, the husband of the victim, and
conducted the autopsy. MIR. DuntOn
told of the prisoners supposed attempt
to poison him, the suspicious actions OF
Dir. Scudder the morning of Mrs. Dun
toms death. and the endeaVOr of the
prisoner before her burial to take from
the house the box containing the will.
A curious fact not heretofore brought
out was that the sleeves of Mr.. Dunton'S
night shirt were spotted with blood
after the discovery that his wife had
been injured. The testimony of DIR.
Palmer was in effect that Mrs. Dunton's
death. beyond all doubt, was from being
pounded upon the head. The eXamlna-
ton will be resumed today.

CHICAGO, March IA Leland hotel
guest became millionaire To-Day
through decision handed down in the
morning by the United States supreme
court at Washington. The fortunate
man is Gen. c. S. Warren, owner of the
Butte Inter-Mountain, and member of
the Republican national committee from
Montana. For some months he has
made his home in Chicago, dividing his
time between political matters and his
great suit at Washington. This suit
has continued for twelve years. 1t was
fought through the Montana courts,
where the decisions were in favor of
Gen. Warren, and was finally carried to
the United States supreme court. This
afternoon the general received a dis
patch from the attorneys stating that
the court had affirmed the lower de
cisions. This ends one of the most
famous of mining contests, and within
a few months will add one more com
pany to the gigantic combine started by
the Calumet d Hecla and the Anaconda
Mining companies, particulars or the
practical completeness of which were
published within the past week. Gen.
Warren this evening said:
"Our company is incorporated as the
Comanche Mining company. We were
lighting the Boston IL Montana COM
pany, which is interested with the An
aconda in the formation of the copper
combine. We are all comparatively
DOOR men, while those whom we have
fought for twelve years represent from

headed by G. Ii. Larrabee, of Portland,
Or. Interested with me are George A.
Tong and Lee Mantle. These people
jumped our claims. When the fight
which resulted commenced, either side
could have been bought out for $1,000.
During the intervening years these
mines in Montana, which now produce
more than tWO-thIrds Of che copper
mined in the United States, have So
enormously increased in value that
have been offered while here at the Lee
land 100000 in cash for our mere chance
of winning this suit. ] did not take the
offer. Consequently by today's de
ciSOn we are given undiSputed
possession of mine the equal in every
way of the Anaconda. | am now thank
ing my stars that when we Incorporate
ed, we quietly locked the stock up in a
safe. dividing it among ourselves. The
advantage of copper pine is that
there is no end to it. 1t is just as valu-
able TO your heirs as it is to yourself.
There is no end to it till you strike
China or the other place.
II was III Washington one week ago
Tuesday, when the argument was
heard. 1t was magnificent fight. Sen
ator Stewart WAS retained by the Boston
& Montana company, while on our side
were Congressman w. w. Dixon and
Attorney Burdette. The result means
that the Comanche company will soon
be part of the copper combine. They
will be only 100 glad to have u.s." Gen.
Warren left tonight for Minneapolis,
where he will arrange for the Montana
delegation at the Republican conven-

FILES A CROSS BILL.
Mrs. Williams Attorneys Disre.
gard Her Wishes.


Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, S. D., March 14.-Today
has witnessed another important change
in the aspect of the Williams divorce
case. Miss Boyd indicated herself
Saturday, completing her cross-exami-
nation this morning. and the day has
been given to hearing Mrs. Williams
story OF her married life. 1t was sad
and gloomy one, the domestic troubles
havingibegun with the marriage. Reig
ion was the active source of their differ
ences, but the witness declared that
Mary O'Malley, the servant girl, was
not fanatic, and had no such influence
over her as Williams claimed. She
denied deserton OF refusal to cOhabt,
and said she had always been
anxious to live with her husband.
When questioned by Judge Fuller,
she said that she still had sufficient re-
gard for Williams to desire to live with
him. and this was independent of her re-
ligious objections to divorce. This, to-
gether with her appearance and appar-
ent truthfulntsS, has made the granting
of the divorce most uncertain. Not
outstanding Mrs. Williams expressed
wish. her attorneys amended her all
SWer SO as to ask for divorce and ali
mony, changing her attitude from re-
sisting divorce to asking for one. Cross
examination will be resumed tomorrow
morning, after which the plaintiff will
present further evidence in rebuttal.
During her examination Mrs. Williams
created sensation by asding for an in
terview with her husband. This was
not granted at the time, but a confer
ence between the attorneys failed of re-

New YORK. March IA. "A number of
prominent Democrats were interviewed
today on the subject of Mr.. Clevelands
candidacy. Frederick r. Coudert, pres
ident of the Manhattan club. and
leading lawyer, said: "Mr. Cleveland
is undoubtedly the most popular man in
the United States today. At auy gath
ering at which he is present he is
always first. He is a strong man. His
yiews are known. He is a safe man.
and has the confidence of the best men
in his party. He stands an excellent
chance of obtaining the nomination,
and, if nominated, he will win.
Can he carry New York state?"
Eyes, he will receive almost the entire
Democratic vote, and also many RepuO-
lican votes. He is strong in other
states, and is, in my opinion, the most
available man in the country today. lie
is courageous man and safe man.
People know that he would not entan-
gle the country in a war with any for
elgn country. His policy is known and
the country would be safe under him."
Ex-Secretary Whitney, who is pro-
nounced Cleveland man, declined to be
interviewed. saying: eff there were
less talk we would have more harmony"
Ex-Mayor Abram Hewitt said: Il am
out of politics, and | pay little attention
to what is going on. Nothing succeeds
like success. When Cleveland was
president he was great man. Now
Hill has been very successful, and he is
a great man. But linotce that most of
the men | meet are Cleveland men. Of
course, Mr.. Cleveland is a candidate.
Any sane man would accept the nomi-
nation if it was offered to him.
b tut what Mir. Cleveland's chances are
could not say. He is popular man
among the people. but | don't know
that be is among the politicians. and
merit does not always win in politics."
Senator Henry b. Winton, of New
Jersey one of the best informed Demo
Gratis in that state. said: "Cleveland
can certainly carry New York. He can
carry New jersey by $4,000 more votes
than any other man who can be named.
Cleveland is tire; only New York man
who we can elect. If he Will announce
himself and show his friends that he
is willing to make the fight, they viii
come out and work tor him. If this is
done, nothing can prevent his election"

BANKER MEAD's MURDER.
Waupaca Grand jury May Indict
the Killers.

WAUPACA, Wis, March 1.-THE city
was startled by the announcement at
/: 80 o'clock today that Judge Charles NJ.
Webb, presiding in the circuit court now
i'll session here, had ordered the sheriff
to call grand jury to investigate the
murder of Banker Mead, which occurred
in this city on the night of Oct. Z, 1882.
Ever since the county board offered
reward of $4,000 to the sheriff OF the
county for the apprehension of the mur-
derers there have been numerous sur
misses as to what would be done in the
matter. Sheriff Ed G. Williams and his
brother, Andrew, deputy sheriff, have
been collecting evidence which they
will present to the grand jury, and it is
expected that it will be sufficient to
warrant the indictment and subsequent
trial Of at least 1--WE persons.

DESPITE THE STRIKE,
Trains Move Regularly on the Cam
adian Pacific.

Special to the Globe
WINNIPEG, Man., March II. - The
Canadian Pacific management, finding
evidence that conspiracy had been
formed, partly through outside infiu-
ences, to bring about a strike of its con-
ductors and brakemen OH its Western
division, decided on Saturday to dis.
miss all who were found to be dIslOyal,
and the dismiSsals commenced Sunday
at noon, every man refusing to stand by
the company being promptly paid off.
Some delays 10 trains were feared,
but all of them up to this time have
been kept moving, and nine emigrant
trains which left Port Arthur tor Win
nipeg, Sunday and Sunday night, were
got through without difficulty. The dis
missals resulted in vigorous efforts on
the part of the leaders and discharged
men to induce the others to quit work,
but so far without success. The COM
pany claims to have enough available
men to move all its principal trains, and,
therefore, not much further trouble is
feared.

ALGER's RECORD.
The Michigan Man Makes Good
Showing

The Michigan Man Makes GOOu
Showing.
DETROIT, March a. Gen. Alger this
morning made public his war record.
1t includes a great host of official docu-
ments from army officers. warmly prais-
ing Alger and recommending him for
promotion, and along with them is the
report of Gen. Custer recommending
the dismissal of Alger from the service.
This entire record is full of credit to
Alger. with the exception of the Custer
document and the Endorsements thereon,
In contradiction 70 the statements of
Custer, Ayers record shows that after
the battle of Boonville he laid off Oh ae-
count of illness, as he also did May D.
1864, and Aug. %, 1864. In each case,
however, he had the certificate of his
official surgeon to show that he
was ill. 1t is true that i'll
his last absence on sick leave Gus
ter did not respond to the doctors
application for sick leave for Alger, but
Alger has hown Clusters motive by re-
vealing the 1atter'S Intellectual attempt
to induce Alger to promote Clusters
brother over the heads of older officers.
That Custer did not always regard
Aiger as funk is shown by various
recommendation in the earlier portions
of the War wherein he praises Alger
highly,
