HIGH SOCIETY THIEVING.
The Os orne-Hargreaves Case Du-
DIjCateQ.

8 LONDON, April 1.-S0ciety in London
has hardly recovered from the excite
:ment attending the trial, conviction and
nine months sentence of Mrs. Florence
Ethel Osborne for the theft of the ia
nous pearls that belonged to one of her
intimate friends. Mrs. Hargreaves. and
for subsequent perjury i'll attempting to
clear her reputation by means OF a libel
ssuit, when it is thrown into another
SpaSm by a rumOr that another pearl
case" is threatened. The matter is be-
ing widely discussed. and great curloS-
lily is expressed to learn who the persons
are, but thus far. having
wholesome respect for the law or libel,
those who discuss the affair are very
schary about mentioning names.
: The facts of the case. so far as known,
are that wellvknown society lady, the
wife of an. officer in the army. some
time ago missed a very valuable brooch.
Just prior to missing the piece of jew
selry. the lady was packing trunk or
handbag, and she thought for a time
that the brooch had been misplaced.
1t never entered her head that it had
been stolen. Some little time later the
lady was visiting jewelry store, and
was greatly surprised to see displayed
for sale brooch that resembled hers in
every respect. She asked to be allowed
to examine the. brooch and soon found
beyond 4 doubt that it was the one she
had lost. She asked the jewelers. where
they had got it from, and they told her
it had been sold TO them by certain
lady. mentioning the name of her
bosom friend.
Then the officers wife recalled that
this friend had helped her at the time
she was doing her packing, and she was
left no other option than to believe that
her friend had stolen the brooch. She
was naturally indignant that her friend
should have treated her in sucI man
her, and upon returning home at once
wrote her, telling of her discovery and
charging her with the theft. The result
was that her bosom friend at once COM
mHnicated with her solicitors, laid the
letter before them and instructed them
to Immediately begin an action for libel
against her accuSer. The outcome OF
tile case is eagerly looked forward to.

Browns VALLEY, Mimi. April L.
Companies A and E, of the Third regi-
ment, arrived at O'Clock tonight from
Fort Smelling. On account of the heavy
rain they did not go into camp. They
were given quarters in the rink. They
are going to camp tomorrow, making
Browns Valley headquarters. They
will be detailed in squads to guard the
reservation. Three companies of cav
airy are expected overland from Fort
Yates tomorrow. Land seekers con-
tinue to visit the reservation without
opposition. A rumor is in circulation
that two white men were shot by Indian
police at the north end of the reserva-
ton today. but it is considered fake.
The crowd of land seekers is increasing
rapidly, aud the desire for reservation
lands in proportion. Many temporary
buildings have been erected in Browns
Valley to house and feed strangers. All
find accommodations. Startling devel-
opments are daily expected.
Locating firms are arranging for large
crews Of surveyors, who will be made
familiar with the reservation. The plans
are now for each surveyor at noon on
April 10 to start with so to 100 men and
drive with them to the best vacant
lands and locate them as fast as posi-
bic, keeping at it all that night and the
next day until alk,haye secured claims.
Two or three thousand will be located
in twenty-four hours, while not over $50
can file in that time at the land office.
The land Office officials have been posi-
lively instructed that parties who first
settle on the land will hold it in prefer
ence to those who subsequently file at
the land office. In the face of these
orders, the only thing for the land seek
ers to do is to be here before the opening
and to find out which direction they
wish to take and then arrange with the
surveyors to locate them that day.

Investigation Of Anarchist
RayachoPs Record Paints
Him Black.
Mean Crimes and Cowardly
Actions Brought Home to
Him.
London Again Stirred to Ex-
element by Thieving in
High Life.
Arrest Of an AudaeiouS Ras-
cal for a Mean Escapade
in New York.

PARIS, April lit is reported that a
regular permit has been discovered at
the lodgings of Ravachol, the anarchist,
authorizing him to obtain 1.500 cartridges
from the dynamite stores near the
bourse. The police are inquiring as to
how lie obtained the permit. The police
! commSSary who arrested Ravachol and
the restaurant keeper and waiter who
betrayed him to the police have re-
ceiyed menacing letters.
1t was thought that the arrest of Ra-
vachoI and his accompllces would put
an end to the cOwardly work of the all
archists, but it appears from discovery
made this morning that the police have
not succeeded in capturing all the dan
gerous members of that party. The
occupants of house Oil the Boulevard
Strasburg were startled this morning on
being Informed that the concierge had
found a dynamite cartridge in front of
tie house. The police were at once no.
titled, and are now looking for the man
who placed the cartridge where it was
found
1t appears that until RavachOl was
arrested many of those who were aware
of his misdeeds hesitated to speak, such
was tlleiI fear of his vengeance. Now
SO much evidence is being piled up
against the man that the public are ask
ing whether it is creditable to the
efficiency of the police that such des
perado should have been so long at
large in Paris. Ravachol himself has
apparently given up oil hope of escap-
ing the guilletine. and seems inclined TO
glory in his crimes, and to be not UNI
willing to be regarded as monster OF
guilt. His deniafs amount almost to adj
missions, and the deeds which he has
acknowledged are enough to give him
! first rank among the criminal class.
His grave robberies were among the
meanest of his crimes. 1t is said that
he would watch for the funeral notices
of wealthy people, find where they were
inferred, vi sit the graves at night, and,
if opportunities were favorable. dig I'D
tire corpse and strip it of any valuables
that were left upon it. If he could get
nothing else, he would take take the
ceffin plate, melt ii and sellit. How
many deeds of this kindhe has perpe-
tfateti is not hneWff.4tiS also ihtiisated
that he disposed ofsbodies to medical III
sstisutions, and, while there lie no proof,
ssetae suspicion that allof these bodies
smay not have been taken from the
graves-tllat Rayacllol, in fact, was
bunker.
An active investigation of Ravachol's
scharacter rs in progress, and 1t is be-
siieved that when it becomes known it
will startIe the world. Ravachol is
known to have a large quantity of dy-
Mantle hidden in SOine place of which
his accompliceS who BETRAYED him are
mot aware. So far. he has refused to re-
veal the hiding place.

DID He Kiss PUPILS?
Racy Evidence in the Dickens
Trial at Winona.

'W1NoNA, April 1.-The taking of evil
dence in the hearing of the writ of
mandamus brought by q. w. Dickens,
of Minnesota City, to compel the is
suance of a first-grade teachers certifi-
cate was concluded on Thursday, and
tine case given over to Judge Start, who
announced that he would file his decls-
ion on Saturday. The case has at
tracted widespread interest. Dickens
has been teacher in Winona county
for eight years, holding first
grade certificate all of that time.
This Mr.. Bradley refused to
renew, not because he lacked the req
uisite scholastic attainments, but for
certain vague reasons which Mr.. Dick
ems alleges the superintendent refused
to make definitely known. lie had re-
peatedly asked investigation OF any or
all of his actions. and this the superin-
tendent had refused.
The case was gone into in detail, the
hearing Of evidence consuming two
days. The charges made were that Mr..
Dickens had four years ago asked Addle
Lord, a girl thirteen years old, daughter
of an eX-county school superintendent,
to sit on his lap and kiss him and he
would help her do her examples; also
that he used bad language and had at
tempted to put his arm around Nettle
Monk and other girls who were his
pupils. Addie Lord and Nettie Monk
testified to these occurrences.
In refutation of this testimony that of
nearly twenty other pupils in the school
was taken, in which they denied that
MIR. Dickens had ever attempted any
undue liberty with his pupils or used
improper language to them. Girls the
Monk girl said were present when the
Teacher Rugged her, denied that any
such occurrence had taken place in the
school room. In regard to the Lord
girl, Mr.. Dickens testified that he had
twice privately reprimanded her for
improper conduct with the boys. and
when he had found this did not have
the desired effect, had spoken to her
publicly before the school. He denied
taking liberties with his pupils or that
he had ever kissed one or taken one OIL
his lap. He did not hear of the charge
made by the Lord girl until the CAM
palgn of 1899, when he was running for
county superintendent. He then im-
mediately went to Mr.. Lord, denied the
charge and offered evidence.
A number of the leading citizens of
Minnesota City testified to the excellent
moral standing of Mr.. Dickens in the
community. Mr.. Lord testified that mis-
daughter had told him her story sub
stantially as related to the court; also
that Mr. Braley knew about this when
he renewed MIR. Dickens certificate two
years ago. A letter dated May 5, 1890,
was submitted in evidence. in which
Mr.. Braley spoke in the highest terms
OF MIR. Dickens as all educator and a
gentleman. Mr.. Bradley said that be-
had conferred with Supt. Kiehle, who
had upheld h i'm in his course.

Unique Method.

New YORK, April Ernest Lasher,
seventeen years old, said to be the son
of parents who have means, is locked

ANGRY ULSTER MEN.
Revolt Threatened if Gladstone Is

LONDON, April 1.-The meager report

Gus of Ulster Unionists gave no idea of
the warlike tone of speakers at the meet
ing, knowing their days are numbered.
These advocates of constitutional order
met 10 declare civil war in the event OF
a Liberal majority altering the cOnstitu-
ton. Some fiery spirits urged plain
declaration of an Immediate resort to-
arms when Ulster is placed under
Dublin parliament. The war talk is only
family heard in resolutions adopted,
however, as the leaders found it more
prudent to veil their threats in moderate
language. Liberal papers treat the pro-
ceedings as bunconbe and the predlc-
ton eff rebellion as mere vapOring. In
terviews with Ulster delegates give the
impression of intense hostility to home
rule, even keener tnan when the moye-
ment was organized.
