Ed Register-The timely interior
ence of old Mr.. Harmon is said to have
prevented a tragedy on Wednesday
last. Jas. Ratliff had Jas. Casteel bent
back over an old wagon in front of
Harmon's wagonshop grasping his
beard with his left hand and knife in
the right, apparently in the act of cut
ting his throat, but he dropped his
hold of Casteel and turned his attention
to Harmon, who interfered at this point.
Harmon ran into his shop and Casteel
escaped unhurt.

Saturday, April Sd, the weather was
calm and pleasant and no thought of
harm entered the minds of our people.
Monday morning the whole valley was
desolate, and the damage to roads,
fences and growing crops is alone very
great. to say nothing of the damage to
the railroad. The oldest citizens can
remember no such food. About one
half mile track is washed away north
of Sabula. South of there the water
was over the track in quite number
of places. Two hundred yards of track
is thrown off the fill three-quarters of
mile south of Sabula, and washed out
of line. One mile south trash, logs
and sticks cover the track from there
for one-half mile south, and the gravel
is washed from between the ties. AT
bridge 1913 240 yards of track are wash
ed off the bed and $50 feet of fill is en-
tirely washed away, and the creek is
now taking its course through where
once was a solid enbankment. South
OF Annapolis one mile $50 yards of fill
is washed away and the track broken
and washed almost off the right-of-way.
Mr.. Balky, who lives south of Annapo-
lis two miles, is said to have lost five
mich cows ard calves. Josh White of
Sabula lost one COW and calf and lot
of chickens. Dan Sutton, just south of
Annapolis. has a small field entirely
ruined. He told your correspondent
that it was not worth fencing. Lum-
Der and piling are thrown in an in
describable mass around the houses at
Funk's mill. The families, who lived
there, owe their lives to this circum-
stance, as the piling broke the force OF
the current off the houses and kept

Leonard was in the Yankton Jail during
nearly the whole of 1883 for horse steal.
ing and was finally discharged, the case
never having been brought to trial. He
went to Kansas, committed burglary
and was sentenced to six years in the
penitentiary. Some time prior to his
arrest for burglary railroad robbery
and murder had occurred and suspect
was arrested and confined in Jail with
Leonard. The man arrested for rob-
bing the train and numbering the mes
senger was the real criminal, but he in
duced Leonard to confess that he (Leon.
ard) had committed the crime and
secure his own release. The plan
worked to perfection. There being no
case against the suspect, he
was discharged. In 1859 Leon.
ard had served his sentence
and was rearrested on the charge of
train robbery and murder, and was con-
victed on his own confession and SEN
fenced to he hanged He attempted TO
prove an alibi and Phil X. Faulk of this
city went to Leavenworth and identified
him as his client who was in the Yank.
ton jail at the time of the Yankton train
robbery. But the board of pardons was
not satisfied and his execution has been
deferred from time to time. Last week
Henry Bradley of Yankton, who was

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The We'll and
La Abra claim and the Claggett. Duboi
election contest from Idaho are the
principal subjects expected to occupy
the attention OF the senate during the
week. An agreement has been reached
by which the We'll and La Abra claims
bill can be brought to vote tomorrow.
Senator Teller, chairman of the privi-
leges and elections committee, says he
will make the committees report on
the Idaho senatorial election case
on the same day. It is proposed
to take it up almost at once.
1t is understood that Stewart of Nevada
and other senators will make speeches
in favor of seating Olaggett, and as Du-
bois will naturally not wish them to re-
main unanswered it is likely that nearly
if not all legislative work in the senate
will be taken up with the case, though
it is generally conceded the result will
in the end be favorable to Dubois. A
number of minor bills of importance
will be passed during the morning hour
and Senator Manderson has the printing
bill ready to call up whenever the occa-
sion offers
The programme in the house for the
greater part and perhaps for all the
week can be stated in two words, "the
rules. Although the discussion of the
report of the rules committee has al
ready consumed considerable time,
there is no present indication that it's
consideration will soon be brought to Q
close, especially as it affords inviting
opportunities for speeches of an inter-
esting political nature The census ur.
gency deficiency appropriation bill
awaits action by the house as soon as
permanent rules can be decided upon.

Rejected suitor,s Revenge.

PARIS, Feb. "A tragic affair is re-
ported from Lucerne, Switzerland. A
young French woman accepted as hus-
band an English naval officer. The
husband, after brief honeymoon, was
summoned abroad and joined his vessel
on voyage to the east. He left his
bride at Luoerne, promising a speedy
return. Not long ago the young WHERE
ceived telegram telling her that her
husband had died of the cholera in
India. The blow drove her mad and she
poisoned herself with cyanide. She
died and was buried at Lucerne. The
wife had been dead but few days when
her husband, hearty and we'll as when
he left her, made his appearance. The
husband was told that his bride was
dead. At first it was feared that his
reason, too, would give way. When he
had gradually recovered they told him
the story of the telegram with the news
OF his death. He exclaimed that he
knew who had sent the cruel message,
that it must be former suitor for the
hand of his wife, who had shown bitter
disappointment and threatened revenge.
He mentioned the name of this person,
and the authorities are quietly ascer-
tanning whether there is evidence to
justify proceedings. The husband de-
clares that he will not rest until his
wife's murderer, as he calls the person
whom he suspects, is brought to justice.

this day each county superintendent is
expected to contribute 81, each prinoi.
pal and teacher so cents and each
scholar 5 cents to the Worlds Fair edu.
cationnl fund. This money will be for
warded by the superintendent to Mrs.
John E. Bennett, at Clark, s. D., q

receive it and receipt for the same. The
plan is meeting with much favor and
the day is likely to be generally OBJ.
served and bids fair to result favorably.

ments for their earnest efforts in behalf

Exam May Be Recalled,

WASHINGTON. D. O.. Jan. s1.-There
is good reason for believing that as
soon as there is some sort Of definite
settlement of the controversy between
Chili and the United States there will
be an entire change in the diplomatic
representatives of the two countries by
the recall Of Mr.. Egan by the United
States and the recall of Minister Montt
by Chill. The United States would not
recall Mr.. Egan under pressure, but the
universal courtesy of diplomatic inter-
course prescribes that minister who is
personally unacceptable to the country
to which he is accredited must be re-.
called. 1t is not necessary to give any
reasons. The mere statement in the
usual diplomatic phrase that he is per-
soma non grata is sufficient. There is
no doubt that Mr. Egan is persona non
grata to the Chilians, and, on the other
hand, since Mr.. Blaine wrote his recent
letter to Minister Montt. it is hard Ito
see how their official intercourse can be
very pleasant to either side.

Why They Wanted Rs.n Recalled.

SANTIAGO DE OH1n1, Jan. 31.-Several
members of the Ohilian cabinet stated
to an Associated Press correspondent
the reason the recall of Egan, United
States minister. was requested last week
was that he had notified Secretary
Blaine that the Ohllisn government had
issued safe conduct for the refugees and
had afterwards withdrawn il. Newspa-
pers here publish the dispatch from
Blaine to Egan, received yesterday in
which the United States secretary of
state says Egan never informed him
that safe conduct had been issued for
the refugees. Senior Pereira. Ohilian
minister Of foreign affairs, has thanked
Egan warmly for having given him .
copy of the dispatch mentioned. Egan
has received from Blaine q dispatch,
the import of which is similar to that Of
the message sent to congress by Presi.
dent Harrison on Thursday. In this
Blaine says the president is satisfied
with the withdrawal of Senior Matta's
telegram and the request for Egan's re-
call and hopes the affair of the attack on
the Baltimore men in Valparaiso will
be settled amicably. The contents Of
this latter dispatch will be conveyed to
Minister Periera by Egan on Monday.

Trying TO stir Up Tro uble.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The demand
for the recall Of Minister Egan has again
been made, but this time it does not
come from the republic of Chili. A
democratic member of Congress is the
person who seeks to bring such request
officially to the attention of President
Harrison, and it is no secret in demo-
cratic quarters that the political advisa-
bility of introducing The resolution pro-
viding for an inquiry into Minister
Egan's conduct is being discussed and
that such resolution may be presented
at any time. OF course, such an inves-
tigation, if made. would be made by the
house committee on foreign affairs, and
those republicans who have spoken on
the subject say that such an investiRa-
tion will be courted by Egan's friends,
as the step which will but lead to the
total vindication of the United States
representative to Chill.

of antelope, said to have numbered
eighteen originally, is reported to be
staying in the vicinity of the south end
of Dry lake. The farmers in that neigh

would probably in course of time wipe
