BURNHENrs THAI BEGUN.
He Is Charged With Manslaughter
in the First Degree.

The trial of W. j. Burnhem. the street
car conductor charged with man
slaughter in the first degree, for shoot
ing Joseph Clark, the negro. began
yesterday morning before Judge Jaml-
son. Lars NJ. Rand appeared in behalf
of Burnhem, and Acting Assistant
County Attorney Hall conducted the
prosecution, assisted by William r.
Morris. The entire forenoon and two
hours in the afternoon were consumed
in getting jury. The assistant county
attorney was disposed to be exceedingly
cautious, inasmuch as lie objected to
allowing Deputy Sheriff Gjertsen to
prepare list of talesmen be-
cause GJertsen is brother
of Judge Rand's law partner.
Then when Giertsen handed a slip of
paper to Deputy Sirois, Mr.. Hall OBJ
Jected again because there were names
on the slip, but it proved that they were
names of talesmen called upon in an
other case.
About p. m. the jury was completed
and sworn and the trial began in ear
nest. Burnhem sat al the left OF his
counsel and appeared perfectly COM
posed. There were several spectators
present, though the benches were not
uuulUEI
several colOred people.
The first witness called was Charles
Moore. a colored man. Moore testified
that he heard shot fired back of the
Exposition building the night Clark
was killed, and few minutes after
ward he saw policeman running to-
ward the exposition building. Moore
followed, and he and the policeman
found Clark stretched upon the ground.
That was all witness knew.
The state then called John Walgren.

ante-mortem statement at the hospital
Judge Rand objected to the witness tes-
tlfying until it was shown that Clark
had abandoned all hope of life when he
made his ante-mOrtem statement TO
witness. 1t was nearly an hour before
Mr.. Hall succeeded in getting the state
ment before the jurY,an then il proved
TO be favorable TO Burnham. In sub
stance ii was as follows:
Clark said he parted from a friend
the night OF the shooting on the corner
OF Central avenue and Second street
northeast. He saw a man ahead of him.
and caught up with him as he was cross
ing vacant lot. He spoke TO him.aud.
noticing a gun III his hand. said: u
amt going to hurt you. That's fine
thing 10 carry" Then the man Jumped
TO one side, wheeled around and shot
him. Clark denied in his statement
that he drew his gun. He said he kept
it in his pocket.
The statement was somewhat mixed
at the point where Clark told of accost-
ing Burnhen. 1t was also noted that
be described him as wearing a beard
and a moustache. whereas Burnhem
wore only moustache at the time. The
trial will be resumed this morning.
The aggressive tactics of the acting
assistant county attorney were quite
pronounced yesterday. A weil-knowu
lawyer not interested in the case re-
marked that it looked as if Hall were
trying to convict Burnhem.

BETTER THAN ENGLAND,S.
Johnny Bull Will Have to Hustle
to Keen in Line

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-An Associated
Press reporter called on Gen. BENJAMIN
T. Tracy, ex-secretary of the navy. to-
day and read cablegram from London
in reference TO what Mr.. Gladstone SAID
about him in reply 10 Lord George
Hamilton when the latter quoted MIR.
Tracy as having said THAT England
would require TO be building nineteen
battle ships within the next two wears
in order to maintain her POSITION The
London Globes defense of Mr., Tracy
against Mr.. Gladstone's attack was also
read to the general. While the reporter
was reading the ex-secretary laughed
heartily, and, in reply to the re porter's
query, he said: well, don't see ina,
the matter calls for any comment
on my part, as l think the Globe has
done that for me. However, 1 will saw
that if Mr.. Gladstone studies the condi-
ton of the French and Russian nayies
he will learn, if he is not already aware
of it, that / am right in the statement
which Lord George Hamilton quoted.
Two years from now France and Russia
will have combined fifty modern battle
ships of 10000 tons of displacement
against England's thirty-one of 3l4. 600
tons displacement. Now Mr.. Gladstone
can figure for himself if England's
thlrty-one are superior TO the fifty have
spoken of. l see Mr.. Gladstone saws
that the material of the English navy is
superior to that OF France and Russia.

French battle ships are superior to the

BLEW SANS SAFES,
Three Men Who Burgiarized
South Dakota Postoffices Are
Caught.

Yesterday forenoon Inspectors Doyle
and Howard arrested, at 221 Washing
ton avenue south, three men who are
charged with cracking safes in numer-
Gus South Dakota postoffices. The ar
rest was made upon complaint of Post
Office Inspector FosnesS, of South Da-
kota. who Informed the police that he
was looking for a man named Arthur
Inman. The detectives thought they
could find luman at 221 Washington
avenue south, and they were right.
They also found two more men who.
Inspector Fosness said, answered the
description of the rest of the trio of
safe crackers. They gave their names
as John murphy and John Casey. 1t is
understood that Inspector Fosness
traced Inman to Minneapolis from
letter addressed to him, which was
found IN a haystack where the three
men are supposed to have slept. This
was i'll Wentworth. S. D., where the
last pOstoffice was burglariZed.
When the detectives were about to
arrest lnman he grappied with both of
them and fought like a tiger. In the
struggle that ensued Inman broke away
from the officers. and taking letter
from his pocket tore 1t up and swallowed
the pieces III spite OF the detectives
efforts to pry his mouth open.
Murphy ard Casey, the other two
men, were found in the next room and
taken to the central station, afterwards
photographed, and finally taken to the
county Jail by United States Deputy
Marshal Sheehan, OF ST. Paul, and the
detectives. They will be arraigned be-
fore the United States commissioner in
ST. Paul this morning. and presumably
be taken to Sioux Falls TO await trial in
the United States circuit court. Inman
says he has never been in South Dakota
and that he does not know Murphy or
Casey.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF cHhs. H.
BACON M CHICAGO.
WELL KNOWN TRAVELLING MAN.

The Circumstances Indicate that
He Had Been Dragged and
Robbed Discovered Uncon-
scious in a Hotel Room-Leayes
Wife and Five Children Re
siding in Minneapolis.
A telegram from Chicago yesterday
announced the sudden and mysterious
death Of Charles A. Bacon, travelling
man OF this city. The telegram an
nouncing the sad event, and which
gives color to the report that foul play
occurred, is as follows:
Charles Bacon, of Minneapolis. died
today at the Nicollet hotel under cir
cumstances which indicate that he had
been drugged and robbed. Bacon was
was a salesman for an Eastern tea
house. He was found nalf-undressed
and unconscious in his room, and died
soon afterwards. The police are work
ing on the theory that he was robbed
and killed with poison.
The deceased had been in the employ
of George Il. Newell q Co., of this city,
and was one Of the best known travel
ing men in the Northwest. For the
=
a Milwaukee house as a tea salesman,
and he was about TO accept a position
with prominent New York house.
He leaves a wife and five children re-
siding in this city, at No. 123 West Fiji
teenth street.
When seen yesterday Mrs. Bacon
said that they first received a dispatch
Tuesday afternoon from the hotel,
which Is at the corner of Randolph and
Fifth avenue, that her husband was
very sick. Asking for particulars the
response received very soon was that he
was worse, and they could not tell what
the result would be. Again she asked
for information and received word that
he was dead. Other inquiries made
were not replied to. Her idea now is
that her husband was dead when the
first report was sent, and she has no
other idea than that her husband has
been foully dealt with. This was sup
ported, she said, by the fact that when,
late In the afternoon, after the close of
the bank where her husband had left
money subject 10 her check. she wished
to start on the first train 10 Chicago, she
telegraphed 10 the hotel to wire her a
money order her husband had with him,
which TACT she knew from letter writ
ten Sunday last from Chicago, and the
hotel folks replied that there was no
money in his effects.
As TO this letter, Mrs. Bacon said
that ii was one of the most cheerful
that he had ever written, telling of the
business success he was having, and
that he was bringing some money here
for certain Of their relatives, and that
he had been making large collections
for the firm. In it he also said that he
had one of the best positions he had
ever had, and that he should lay over
two days there and then come home for
Christmas and would stay with them
till after Tuesday. Mrs. Bacon and
her son Charles left last night for Chi
cago.

THE WOLF HUNT Is ON.
Minneapolis Marksmen Make a
Descent Upon Anoka County.

This morning at Z o'clock sharp a
number of the crack shots of Minneap-
oils will assemble at Bridge square, and
thence they will proceed TO Anoka
county, where the great wolf hunt, the
antecedent conditions of which have al
ready been published, will be inaugu-
rated. The Minneapolis sportsmen will
be joined by a number of men from St.
Paul and other adjacent cities, and the
expedition will proceed to the scene of
the deadly fray in sleighs. 1t is ex-
pected that the greatest slaughter will
occur in the history OF the country, and
that the number of scalps of the hungry
varmints to be exchanged for new IS
bills will deplete the Anoka county
treasury.
Arrangements have been made for
those who have no conveyauces to be
taken to and from the scene of the hunt
in hired sleighs at 80 cents a head. The
commander-in chief, Mr. Cook, reiter-
ates that no rifles will be allowed, and
the use of a revolver will preclude the
user from further participation in the
days sport.
The arrangements for the hunt are in
experienced hands. and it is expected
that nearly 1000 men will participate in
the sport.
