WEST VIRGINIA MURDERER
TAUGHT SCHOOL IN MINNESOTA FIVE
YEARS AGO.
Van q. Baker, the Life Convict,
Who Died IN the West Virginia
Peniten,iary, Was Well Known
in Hutchinson and Other Min
nesota Cities Murdered His
Wife and Her Mother.


Van B. Baker, who was formerly a
school teacher at Hutchinson and other
places IN Minnesota, died a couple of
days ago in the West Virginia peniten-
tlary, where he was serving life SEN
tence for the murder or his wife and
mother-in-law. Baker was little over
SIX feet tall, and wore dark heavy
whiskerS that covered his face and were
quite long. 1t is about five years since
he leftthtS state and returned TO his
former home in Washington county,
Pennsylvania. lie married, as bis sec
ond wife, Eliza McWha, of Holidays
Cove, in the Pan Handle of West Vir-
GINA. His second wife was about
thirty-fye years old when he married
her. and they made thbir home with
Mrs. Drueiila McWha, the wife's
mother, an aged woman. who owned
some real estate and con-
siderable amount OF government
bonds and other personal property.
One night Baker went 10 visit his par
ents at Burgettstown, Pa. and, return
Ing the next morning, gave the alarm
OF the murder of his wife and mother
inlaw. They had been killed with a
coupling pin taken from, the railroad
and their clothes arranged to indicate
that they had been killed after retiring
Tor the night. Suspicion pointed to
Baker as the murderer. Able counsel
were secured OH both sides, among the
attorneys for the state being the noted
criminal lawyer. John NJ. McSweeny, of
ONO. The first trial took place at Fair
view, West Virginia, and the man was
found guilty, with the prospect of
being hanged. A new trial was granted
and the judge who granted it was de-
feated for reelection because of the
strong public sentiment against grant
ing the new trial. At the second trial
Baker was again found guilty aud SEN
fenced to the penitentlary for life. The
presumption was that Baker killed his
wife and mother-in-laW to secure the
property. The wife was found lying
PROSTATE across the body of her dead
mother, beth having their heads crushed
IN. The assumption was that the bodies
were placed in the position indicated
after the double murder so as to indi
cate that the mother died first, and this
would make the daughter heir to all
ner property, and the husband, In the
absence of children, would inherit it
from the wife. The house where the
murder occurred was Shut up for years.
and has ever since been stunned by
the people of the hamlet, who believe
it to be- haunted. Baker died protest
ing his Innocence Of the crime. He tes-
tilted OH both trials that he did not com
nit the deed. He had several children
by his first wife. He was a roaner for
several years, and it is said rambiel to
a considerable extent. He was a man
of violent temper. and stories of inhu-
nan treatment of pupils in his school
have been related. One of the stories
related of his doings in this state is that
OH one occasion he set pupil on hot
stove i'll the school room, and burned
him SO that he was crippled for life.

that they were conceded and have all
the rights of indians, and that they
were properly considered by congress In
making up the requisite majority neceS-
sary to ratify the treaty. They have
been carried on the rolls as members of
the tribe, annuities have been paid to
them and allotments of lands made to
them by the department. to the exclusion
of hundreds of white settlers. The de-
clslon revolutonizes the rule adopted
for the treatment of this cl ass which
has prevailed from the earliest connec-
ton OF the United States with the In
dian question.
The Sioux treaty was a result of the
Minnesota outbreak of 1862. and it would
seem should be interpreted in the light
of what was then the understanding in
stead of what would be desirable at the
present time. The case comes up on
the contest of an Indian, who until
about the hour the last treaty took effect
had lived upon land allotted to him, on
which the government had built house
and fences, furnishing seed and imple-
ments, which he left and moved upon a
valuable tract occupied by quarter
blood and her white husband adjoining
Fort Pierre, being assisted to build his
shanty by white spectators at Pierre.

TURKEY FOR THE BOYS
Who "Shine EN- Up" and Sell
Papers on the Streets.

Papers on the Streets.
Yesterday Frank Huber, of the Cali
fornla Wine house, set up turkey din
ner to all the newsboys and bootblacks
of the city. The act of charity came
about by accident, but was none the
less worthy nor highly pleasing to Mr..
Huber. A free turkey dinner was, in
accordance with previous announce
ments, set up 10 the patrons of the
place. About noon half dozen boot
blacks stepped in to warm at the steam
radiators. MIR. Huber observed them,
and, conceiving the idea that they were
hungry. invited them to sit at table
and eat a turkey dinner The little
fellows accepted the invitation with
pleasure. When they were through
they went outside aud told their
associates, and soon bootblacks and
newsboys began coming in by tens and
twentieS to eat turkey. Mr.. Huber
grasped the situation and reserved
tables for the use of the little uufortu-
mates. 1t took all the afternoon to feed
the armies of urchins who patrol the
streets to ''shine 'em up'' and sell
papers, but none were turned away.

AT THE CATHEDRAL.
DIR. Heffron's Eloquent Thanksgiv-
ing Sermon.

Great throngS of worShipers assem-
bled in all the Catholic churches of the
city yesterday Catching the spirit of
the Thanksgiving festival. the church,
as is its wont. celebrated the day in a
truly Christian manner.
High mass was sung at the Cathedral
at 10:30. and an appropriate sermon de-
livere1 by Father Hebron, who spoke
substantially as follows:
1he, day of Thanksgiving is one of
praise. To give thanks is not only
founded on the law of God, but likewise
on the law of nature. To be grateful
for favOrs received is always a recon-
pense in favor of the recipient of the
the gift. but manifestation of ingrati-
tude is one of the most deSpicable of
things. Thanksgiving is the mark of
noble soul. A child who is dependent
on his parents. who goes to them for
the qualification of every want, depends
on them for all it receives. The ingratI-
tude of the child wounds the
parents hearts. We are the children
of the great and good God of heaven.
Therefore do we not owe him those
marks of gratitude which child owes
to its parents? 1t were useful for us to
stop and consider that owe thanks to
God. because it is useless to say that
we are not recipients of His
bounty. The air we breathe.
the light from heaven, are so
many sources whence flow the gifts of
God The gifts of God are round about
us like God himself, who penetrates
all things, all beings. Hence the i'm
mensity of His gifts. We owe gratitude
to God. We owe Him our heartfelt
thanks. Not only do we bow to Him in
dividually and acknowledge our thanks,
but as community, congre CATION and
nation, we are grateful for favorS re.
ceived. 1t is one of the marks of good
Catholic that he gives thanks to God,
and in this as In other things we find
those beautiful sentiments of thanks
giving in the liturgy of the church. The
holy sacrifice OF the mass is called, first,
the eucharist. What does eucharist
mean? A sacrifice of praise and thanks
giving to God. Every time the sacrifice
OF the mass is celebrated there goes up
to God mighty prayer OF thanksgiving.
ThankfulnesS, gratitude for benefits re-
ceived. ah! this Is one of the virtues of a
good Catholic. There are special sea-
sons of the year marked out by the
liturgy of the church for the giving of
thanks to Almighty God. In the old
countries they have the harvest home,

Street Railway Wins.

Judge Cory has dismissed the case
against Andrew Forsland and Frank
johnson, who were arrested for tearing
up the pavement on West Third street
without obtaining a permit from the
board of public works. The men were
employed by the street railway COM
pany, and the question argued before
Judge Cory was whether the ordinance
granted the railway company allowed
it the privilege of repairing it's wires
and conddits without the formalitv of
securing permit. Judge Cory held
that under the ordinance the company
had the right to make the repairs on the
streets mentioned in their ordinance at
any time, and without permit first be-
ing secured.
