The Cottonwood Addition.

Hon. l.. P. Brown has laid off large
town site in Cottonwood, embracing 100
acres. The Cottonwood House was
taken as the initial point of the survey,
and it stands on the southeast corner of
one block on Main street, while the
barn and stable forms the northwest
corner of another block. Main street,
100 feet wide runs between the hotel
and stable, and lots on this street are
plated with 33a feet frontage by 100
feet in depth. Broadway runs north
and south and intersects the county
road to Keuterville. 1t also is 100 feet
wide. Other streets are so feet wide.
East Of Broadway the blocks are 200x5 500
feet; on the west they are 200x200 feet.
One block has been reserved for public
purposes, and fractional tract of two
acres set aside for public park. The
survey was made to conform to the I'M
dulations of the land, and the streets all
have superb grades. 1t is handsome
plat and those who are seeking invest
ment In this great and growing Clear
water country will find Cottonwood Il
good place to tie up to. The price of
property is not yet settled, but will no
doubt be graded in proportion to its To-
cation and value for business purposes.

TURNER'S THIRTEEN.
The Coiorcd Orator Ran Foul of
the Fatal Number.

j. Milton Turner, the colored orator,
spent yesterday in looking over Mime
apolis and entertaining the numerous
delegations of Democrats that called to
see him. Mr.. Turner has travelled a
good deal this fall In the West, and has
observed the political situation care
fully. He says that in Illinois, even,
the Democrats have a fighting chance OF
electing the electoral ticket.
MIR. Turner had an amusing expe-
rlence IN the way of an encounter with
superstition on his way up here. On
the train he had to write some dis
patches concerning engagements in
Michigan. A gentleman with whom he
had made friends on the train was as
sisting him. One dispatch contained
just thirteen words. The man fran
tically besought Mr.. Turner TO either
add one word or cut off one.
Pm sure you'll have bad luck during
all the remainder of the trip if you send
thirteen words,' said this man.
just to amuSe himself with the super
stitious wight Mr.. Turner sent the thir-
teen-word dispatch. He is glad that
his superstitiouS friend left the train
shortly after, else he would have been
su bJected to some chatting. Directly
after sending that thirteen-word mes
sage MI. Turner found he had missed
connections and could not keep his
engagement in Minneapolis. At Albert
Lea he was kept up until O'clock in
the morning and had to rise again at 4
to take the train for Minneapolis. He
was called at 4, rose, and found that his
train WAS an hour and half late. When
he reached Minneapolis he was attacked
by chronic malady. And there you
are. Mr.. Turner is not superstitious.
but some people would be under the
circumstances.

SIX HUMAN SKULLS,
They Are Found by a Report

Cottage,

Young Frank HaZleton Is

Another Fatal Railroad
Accident.

A letter was received by the GLOBE
last week from a resident of Pierce
City, Mo-, asking if there were any fur
Their particulars to relate regarding the
discovery of a convict's suit and num-
Der Of human skulls found in the cot
tage of Simon Neill, who was sent to
Saltwater for robbing store in Duluth.
The writer of the letter stated that a
Slmen Neill had once lived in Pierce
City. and that number of yeors ago he
eloped with the wife of a promi-
nent farmer and went to Mexico. He
was afterwards, the letter says, sent to
the state prison of Louisiana for man.
slaughter, and it is supposed he es-
capped after serving a portion of his
time. Whether this Simon Neill re-
ferred to in the letter from
Pierce City is the same man
who was sent to Saltwater through
the skillful manipulation of Inspector
Hankinson, of this city. the GLOBE is
unable to state. The inspector, how
ever, is of the opinion that the two are
one and the same, for he Is certain
Neall was from the South. Another
visit was paid to the cottage yesterday
by reporter for the GLOBE, with the
result that the skulls were found.
A thorough search of the cottage was
made. Under the floor, wrapped in a
lot of old and dirty newspapers, were
the missing skulls. They were hauled
out one by one and placed side by side
in the doorway, where the wind was
given chance to sough through the
eyeless sockets and the earless heads.
There were six of them, and all but one
| were perfect specimens. This one was
little, dried-up affair, with narrow
forehead and curtailed cerebelum.
1t was evidently the skull of a full
grown man. and a red-headed one. too.
On the top of the skull had dried
portion of the scalp. and with it a tuft
OF bright red hair. 1t looked CHASTITY,
did this red-haired skull.
The other five skulls were well
cleaned and as brown as berries. This
was no doubt due to the fact that they
had been kept in the oven of the stove
previous to hiding them under the floor.
Where the skulls came from, however,
in the first place is as much of mys-
teIy as ever, and it will probably never
be solved. Among the lot of other
bones found by the reporter yesterday
was the skull of dog. 1t was nicely
cleaned and as white as the driven
snow. If Neill cleaned the CHASTITY
things he evidently knew his business.
Inspector Hankinson stated yesterday
that Neill was suspected of being impll-
ealed in many of the bnrglaries
which occurred in this city about six
months ago. The robbery of Swedish
church in the Eighth ward was traced
to him but could not be proven against
him. There is little doubt that NeiIl,
whoever he is. has been, and is, pretty
tough customer. As soon as he is re-
leased from Saltwater an effort will be
made to discover who and what he is.
He is known to have had pal, but all
trace of him has been lost.

QUEER IDEAS OF SNAKES.

The African cobra is regarded some
what reverently by the natives of that
country, who once year kill cobra de
capello and hang its skin to the branch
of tree, tail downward. Then all the
children born during the last year are
brought out and made to touch the skin.
This, their parents think, puts them
under the serpent's protection.

snakes cousin, the puff adder, to poison
their arrows, and when they have any
small quantity left they swallow it,
having theory that it will protect
them from the bad effects of future
bites.
The snake tribe of the Punjab say
that the bites of snakes do not hurt
them, and if they find a dead serpent,
they dress it in clothes and give it a
superb funeral. Some one has discov-
cred that the leaves of bitter aro-
matte plant, aristolochia INDIGO, If
bruised into pulp. mixed with little
water and swallowed, will often cure
the bite of the Indian cobra.
1t has been known to cure even when
the victim showed no sign of life save
warmth of the body, but the most gen.
eral remedy is the snakestone. Pro-
fessor Faraday has found this to be
made of charred bone. 1t is applied to
a bite, aud when it drops off of its own
accord the patient is said to be out OF
danger.
These stones are used also in Mexico.
Our own North American Indians will
not kill snake in their path. They
hold it in reverence, and although they
select great numbers of them to use in
their snake dances, they never kill
them, but when the ceremony is fin

release them.

HE LED CAVALRY,
Gen. W. w. AyerilI Here Inspect
ing Soldiers Homes.

One of the most famous cavalry lead
ers Of the late war was visitor in Mn
neapolis Saturday, Gen W. W. Averill,
of Bath, n. Y. He arrived in Mime
apolis Saturday morning, and was i'm
mediately taken in hand by Mayor
Winston, Capt. d. NJ. Gilmore and Maj.
Henderson. They showed him the city,
and then went with him down to the
soldiers home. Gen. Averill comes
to Minneapolis as the assistant inspect
or general of soldiers homes. Gen.
Averfll has always been prominently
connected with soldiers homes. At his
home in Bath, n. Y, he has under his
eye one of the largest, handsomest and
best managed homes for soldiers and
sailors that can be found in the coun-
try. Gen. Averill says that the homes
for veterans are improving every year.
Better buildings are being constructed,
and they are being better managed.
He gives it as his opinion, and his opin-
ion is supported by what he has seen at
the home where he lives. that the great
est evil in the management of the homes
is allowing the veterans pensions. They
have everything they want in the
homes, and they often use the pension
money for improper purposes. Last
year the government paid 1000, 900 in
pensions TO the inmates of soldiers
homes.

CELIA RIVETS' ROMANCE
1t Ends in Warrant for the Ar
rest of Her Lover.

rest of Her Lover.
Frank HaZleton is pretty we'll known
about the city. He fell heir to some
property some time ago, and has de-
voted his time to the spending of it
ever since. f. A. Parker. of Parker &
Co., is his uncle, and A. II. Hall. the at
torney, his guardian. Last week Mrs
Rivets, who lives at IS Thirteenth
street south, called at police quarters in
company with her daughter Celia. She
told pitiful tale to the chief of police,
and asked for the arrest of young
Hazleton. Her daughter was ruined,
and HaZleton must either marry
her or go to jail. The prominence
of all the parties and the manner in
which Celia Rivets had been ruined, ac-
cording to her mother, renders the case
something of a local sensation. A war
rant was sworn out Saturday at the
Office of the county attorney. and In
spector Hoy was given the case to look
up. The Inspector declines to give the
details OF the story, but the warrant is
sufficient for the facts. The charge
against young Hazleton is grave one,
though he is not here to answer to it,
having left by the light of the moon
about three weeks ago.
Celia Rivets left her home and was
not found by her mother until week
| ago. She had been stopping at the
Brunswick hotel, under the care of At
torney Hall, who was acting in the
capacity of Hazleton's guardian. Every
| effort was made to induce Celia to leave
the city until her trouble was at an end,
| but she refused unless HaZleton would
| first marry her. A week ago last Satur-
| day Mr.. Hall also left the city, and on
the following Monday he sent the fol-
| lowing note to an employee of the hotel

Celia said last night that she did not

by a reporter and gave all the facts in
the case. They will DE brought out
