Know the Bible Is the Word of God?" was begun
last evening at st. James's Methodist Episcopal
Church. Madison-ave and Observation-Disclosures

The theme of last evenings lecture was. How the
Bible Was Made and Preserved" DIR Price said
that 1000 years required for the prepara-
tion of the Bible. In its making God at sundry
times and In divers manners spake In time past
unto the fathers of the prophets" and Holy
men OF God spa.e they were moved by the
Holy Ghost" These and kindred utterances as
serted the claim OF inspiration. Two forces must
be recognized--a divine thinker and human
writer Whether In the process OF inspiration the
thought was directly communicated to the human
soul or whether the SOUL under pressure OF super
natural influences was elevated to the plane where
the truth might easily be seen appeared not to be
determined. But might be certain that God
would 80 guard his chosen servants "a t2 pre-

LIVES SOLD DEARLY.
Mexican Troops Wipe the Last

One Thousand Troops Slaughtered

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, April TO-
Geographic adviceS were received here
today by an Albuquerque gentleman
who has interests in that country that
troops have just been sent by the Mex
lean government from Chihuahua to
Temochi to eXterminate the friends and
sympathizers who are seeking to avenge
the cowardly assassination of the Spar
tan band of Aztecs in September last.
1t was the last known tribe of the Az
tee race and their village. named Tefno-
chi, is situated about 100 miles from
Chihuahua in the direction of Guerro.
The Tem0chlS were very SuperStitiOu5
and listened to the fanatical teach
ingS of Santa Teresa" who
cOunSeled diSobedience to the
law imposing heavy taxation. BY order
of President DiaZ troops were sent to
subjugate the little band Of Aztecs.
The troops were badly defeated and re-
pulsed. They were reinforced and
made the attack anew, determined this
time to annihilate the AZtecs. The
brave little band were literally wiped
out of existence. They numbered but
thirty-eight warriors, and this little
band, fortified within the walls of their
village, SlduRHteItu lulIy l,UUO MEXICAN
soldiers before the last one Of them
selves succumbed to the rifle and
bayonet. The Mexican government felt
chagrined over the horrible inhuman
butchery, and forbade the newspapers
of the republic to publish any of the
facts. Then, as now, the noble defense
of their homes made by the tribe
called forth applause and sympathy
from the natives of the surrounding
country, who have followed their eX-
ample in refusing to pay exorbitant tax
alton and are now up in arms. The bat

The firm of Welnert & Finke, POI Sec
ond avenue south, are looking for
smooth fellow, who gave his name as V.
s. Wolf, and vino claimed to represent
the Eastern varnish manufacturers,
Davis d Co., of New York. About
week ago Wolf arrived in the city and
registered at the West hotel. He called
upon the various painters and decorat-
ors, among them Weinert IL Finke. and
sold them a bill Of goods. When the
transaction was concluded, Wolf handed
Mr.. Finke a draft for 500 on
a New York bank from Davis &
Co. and asked Finke to go with
him to a bank and identify him.
Mr.. Fink instead indorsed the draft,
and w off went to local bank and got
the money. Then he pulled up stakes
and left the city. The bank sent the
draft on to New York for collection, but
it was returned as worthless. Weinert
& Finke were therefore obliged to stand
the loss. 1t turned out that Mr.. Finke
did not indorse the original draft on
Davis IL Co., but one that had been sub

FAVOR A VIADUCT.
The Council Will Be Asked to
Construct One Instead of
Bridge.

The Council Will Be Asked to
Construct One Instead of a
Bridge.
There was large delegation of East
side residents and property owners
present at the meeting of the commit
tee Oh roads and bridges yesterday aft
ernoon. The muchly discussed matter
of building bridge over the railroad
tracks at the intersection of Broadway
street and Central avenue came up for
action. After a lot of speecEmaking it
was decided to construct an under
crossing or viaduct under the tracks in
stead of the overhead bridge as first
proposed, it being shown by the prop
erty owners present that the bridge
would make the approaches to the
property i'll the near vicinity almost an
impOssibility. The committee, how
ever, inserted clause in their recon-
mendatiOn to the council for viaduct.
1t was that the property owners must
release the city from all damages.
The committee also recommended
that bridge be built over the North
ern Pacific tracks at the intersection of
Eighth avenue northeast and Pembina
street, as the ordinance already passed
provides.
The matter of the Northern Pacific
and other railroads occupying streets
belonging to the city was laid over to
another meeting.

Affairs.
The answer of the defendant has been
filed in the case of William Matson
against The Green Mountain Stock
Ranching Company. 1t puts new light
upon the connection of II. E. Fletcher
with the case. Mr.. Fletcher goes back
into the history of affairs, and states
that he did not sell Matson his shares,
but that f. l.. Foss, ole of the pro-
motors of the company, did. At that
time Fletcher and Foss owned a ranch,
stocked, in Custer county, Montana,
and they turned it over to the company
for $4,000. The defense states that the
company always had hard luck, and
lost, through depression in the prices
of cattle. S94, 0CO. They then went out
of the cattle business, and confined
their operations to horses. and just as
they had fine lot TO sell electricity
came in as a motive power, many
horses were thrown on the market, and
they could not sell for the cost of rails
ing them, at one time an immense herd
being sold at an average of S24 each.
The result was that money was
needed, and it was found impossible to
borrow on the company'S credit. 1t was
thought best TO issue bonds, but that
fell through. and Fletcher was obliged
to personally advance money to keep
things running. Fletcher gave notice
that he would be forced to recover by
process of law, and so secured Judgment

Capt. William Rice Is in Jail
on a Most Serious
Charge.
Eighth Wardsrs Say He En-
tees Little Girls to Their
Ruin.
John Williams, a PSeddo-Pri-
Vate Detective, Arrested
for Blaekmail.
H. E. Fleteher'S Tale OF the
Ranehing Company--Elks'
Ladies' Social.

Something of sensation was created
in the Eighth ward shortly after 6
O'Clock last night, when Police Officer
HOban, of the Fifth precinct, marched
down to the corner of Lane street and
Nicollet avenue, holding by the arm
Soldierly and Observation-Disclosures man,
apparently about seventy years of age.
The diStinguIShed-lOokin parsonage
was none other than Capt. William
Rice, well-known character in the
Eighth ward, and who, aside from a
well-trimmed, silvery beard, has the
honor of drawing a pension for doing
yeOman service in the war of the
rebellion. Capt. Rice was in a tight fix,
and he knew it. He held his head so
low that his Silvery beard touched his
immaculate shirt front when the officer
pulled him into a seat in the street car.
He was taken to the central station and
locked up Oh the charge of immoral and
indecent conduct. The events that led
up to his arrest ale many and revolt
ing, if true.
For the past year the captain has lived
at the Flour City hotel, at 1922 Nlcollet
avenue. He has lived for the most part
on his pension. but when the money
from the government played out he
earned a few dollars here and there by
painting signs and decorating the IN
terror of houses. The citizens of the
Eighth ward who have daughters
have long been anxious that the
captain should be arrested, for,
according to their stories. he is the vileSt
Of men. Six little girls will be brought
into the police court this morning to teS-
tiTy against him, and all will swear that
he has made improper proposals to
them, and written them notes contain
ing lewd suggestions and requests to
visit his room in the hotel. The parents
of these girls would long ago have
caused the captains arrest, but they
dreaded the exposure, and so bided
their time. A number of the notes writ
ten by the captain are in the hands of
the police, and will be shown up TO the
police Judge today.
Last evening the distinguished cap
tain lured a fOur-year-Old girl into the
shed in the rear OF Lanes grocery store,
at 1 East Lake street. Officer Hoban, who
had been watching the fellow, slipped
in through the shadow and watched the
proceedings. He says that what he saw
was of the most revolving nature. The
old gray-haired man had rendered the
little child some Sweetmeats to get he'll
to accompany him.
Officer HOban arrested the doughty
captain, and, as stated above, turned
him over to the mercies of Jailer Nc
Kenna. A GLOBE reporter, soon after
the captains arrest. called upon the
officers of the Fifth precinct, and Officers
Bean, Pohl and Hoban corroborated
what is printed above.
