A Thousand Otter Tail Farmers
Make Themselves Ridiculous.
Special to the Globe
FERGUS FALLS, March 11.-To great
many people the announcement of
''big wolf hunt" in the northern part of
Otter Tail county Friday. the 1lth inst,
carried no particular significance. but
to those who have participated in an
event of the kind the statement brought
a thrill and wish to be present. For
such hunt is not only sight worth
witnessing, but is calculated to stir the
blood or every person who takes part in
it as few things do. outside Of grim Wis
aged war" More than 1,000 men started
from appointed stations at a. IN. to-
day, each squad of thirty captained by
an experienced hand. A large crowd
went up from this city to participate,
and many others came from long dis
tances. Those who went from Pelican
Rapids started with teams very early
in the morning.
A large part OF the hunters were
SeandinaviauS. They had most aInaZ-
ing variety of weapons, including
spears, forks. hooks, daggers, bayonets,
etc. One antiquarian counted sixty
seven distinct types of weapons,
not counting clubs. Many walked
ten miles to take their place
in the lines before light this morn
ing, and teams came from much
longer distances. Captains of squads
were on horseback. The march began
promptly at o'clock. ItwaS difficult
one, over broken country. and many of
the more dense clumps of timber were
left uneXplored by those whose enthuSl-
asm waned after few miles tramp.
The final scene occurred at 2'O'clock
this afternoon in the open valley previ-
ously selected. None of the hunters
bad seen any wolves, but each squad
supposed the others had. and pressed
Oh with untlagging zeal. Then
the lines finally got into position
where they could see each other,
and the intervening space there must
have been surprise in the minds of
some. for the total result of the round
up was several dozea jack rabbits and
one solitary wolf, which ran anXiously
round and round their circle. The
grandeur of the grand hunt departed.
but the thousand or more MEN present
managed to prevent that wolf from eS-
Gaping. Thus ended the first, aid prob
ably the last big wolf hunt in Otter
Tail county.

attention from students of faces. Few,
however, would identify him. True, for
forty years he breathed the air of the
Empire state; for fifteen years he prac-
ticed law in Erie county, and met Grover
Cleveland at the bar of Buffalo; and
once he sat in the legislature at Albany
but Notwithstanding these things he
is practically unknown to New York
and the East.
Fame came to him after he left New
York and settled in Iowa. He stepped
into the arena of politics in that far-off
commonwealth and, championing the
cause of Democratic principles, led the
Democratic party to victories that it had
not known for more than generation.
His voice rang in every county of the
state, from the shores of the Mississippi

that had given Garfield $4,000 majority,
became Democratic. Another campaign
came on and again under his leadership
the state went Democratic. Still an
other contest between the parties fol-
lowed, and once more the Democrats
triumphed over those who had thought
the Hawkeye state only waverIng in
its lOng-fOunded allegiance to the Re-
DuDllcdn party.
These three successive victories under
Boies, each greater than the one before,
made Western Democrats talk conf

Iowa as man fit to lead in a national

Iowa and other states which hitherto
have been Republican. They say that
his life, his personality, his political
record, his views upon public questions
will command strength in New York
and other states of the East and South,
as well as in their own West.
In what follows you will find ever so
many things about this New York man
who has made himself so strong in the

First-That he is a tariff reformer and
has been since he went to Iowa at the
close of the war; that he holds conserv-

that he believes in ballot reform, and
that he opposes paterDaliSm and sump-

SecOnd-That he has risen from pov-

a practical farmer as we'll as practical

novel and racy story of domestic un-

Williams divorce case, which began
before Judge Fuller here today. Will
Jams is prominent manufactures OF
Rochester, n. Y, and his wife, who is a
devout Catholic, is alleged to have de-
serted and refused to occupy the same

declaring that it was sin for Cath
olic to be united to hereto husband.
Mrs. Williams is sick at Usage, To-, but
as the substance of her testimony

uance was denied. Williams evidence
was a narrowing story of domestic mis-
cry. He told how fanatcal servant
girl named 'Malley so influenced his
wife that she would have nothing to do
with him. She locked him out of her
chamber, and treated him with coldneSs
and contempt. The O'Malley wom man
is said to have received an intimation
from the Virgin Mary. and advised Mrs.
Williams to have no marital relations
with him. At the opening of the after
noon session the appearance of Nettie
Boyd, Williams alleged mistress.

MRS. ELLSWORTH WINS.
The Old Decree of Divorce Is Set
Aside

ELDoRA, To-, March 11.-When the
court convened this afternoon the at
torneys for the plaintiff asked the court
to make the following entry, which was
done: "The degree for divorce granted
E. S. Ellsworth, Dec. 10, '91, against his
wife, Hattie A., before Judge Hind
man, is upon motion of plaintiffs at
torneys set aside, aud the case is 10 be
tried upon its merits"
After reading several letters from
Mrs. Ellsworth, the plaintiffs attorneys
moved that the case be dismissed with
out prejudice. SO ends for the present
one of the most sensational and unfort-
unate of Iowa divorce cases.
The court decided Yesterday morning
the legality of the decree. The court
room was crowded. Several witnesses
testified that the plaintiff told them the
divorce case was heard in chambers.
and that the evidence had been
removed from the records. Fifteen
neighhors of Mrs. Ellsworth, many
of them having known her for two
years. testified as to her character. The
height of interest was reached when
the defendant took the stand. She
showed the effect of recent sickness, but
was cool and self-possessed during the
examination.
In addition to her testimony, Mrs.
Ellsworth said that after returning
from the coast, she stopped III Cedar
Rapids one day and then went to Chi
cago, where she was met by her hus-
band. They had an affecting meeting.
embracing each other five minutes and
crying.
The cross-examination brought out
many incidents regarding the visit of
her husband and attorney to her home
at Iowa Falls, Nov. 16. Witness said
both urged her to confess and all would
be forgiven. and admitted that divorce
was urged as consequence if she did
not confess. Letters introduced show
that Notwithstanding their trouble the
husband and wife were warmly driven
towards each other. No bitterness was
shown during the trial between plain
tiff and defendant.
As soon after the case was dismissed
as the attorneys could prepare papers,
an original notice was served upon
Ellsworth by his now legal wife charg-
ing him with cruel and inhuman treat
ment. The case has been assigned for
trial at the next term of court, which
meets in six weeks.

madly excited as some would infer from
the reports. but intent on business. AL

This would seem to indicate that
there is wild-eyed desire to secure
stocks regardless of the value and pros
poets, but this is not the case. The
stocks have not been sold to the extent
anticipated. The desire of investors
has been rather in the direction of
securing control of properties. This has
probably been due to the manner i'll
which the largest holders have man.

Few of the latter have been started
without having showing of iron, and it
is safe to say that never before has so
much testing been done in short space
Of time as has been in the past two
months on the Mesabi range. When a
man suggests the organization of com
pany he is asked, not, What lands have
you?" but, "What showing have you
made?'
Up to the present there has been no
selling of stock without delivery. The
festive broker is about, but he is largely
confined to the curbstone, and the buck
ct shop operator is as yet unknown.

sacrifices, privations and efforts they
will reap rewards that can hardly be

The business manner in which st.

this new section of the state has been
gratifying to the people of Duluth.
They had rather expected the metropo-

wants cheap iron as we'll as cheap lum-

can be had from Duluth in the near fut-
ure. The Importance of these discover
