So Says Lieut.. Erickson of IiOlm's
Brigade.
Minneapolis, June 2-Word has been
received from the local Coxey army
which started on it's tramp from Mime
apolis to the nations capital two weeks
ago under Gen" Holm. Gus Erickson,
first lieutenant of the contingent, returned

City, Iowa, where Erickson left them. A
commonwealth named Clark was elected
first lieutenant in his place. Erickson re-
ports very good treatment of the army
after it's departure, the men having slept
out only one night since their damp camp
at Fort Smelling. From Charles City
the army will march ten miles to small

train to carry them to Chicago. Erick-
son hopes to join them there. According
to Erickson the band has increased its

FOR TEN YEARS.
Hermann HI. Dickmann Sentenced for
His Terrible Crime.

His Terrible Crime.
st. Paul, June Hermann H. Dick
mann, who was indicted on charge of
incest with his daughters, was arraigned
in the criminal court before Judge Kerr
and pleaded guilty. He was sentenced
to ten years in Saltwater. The prisoner
is fifty-ti years of age, and is in failing
health, so the sentence is not so light as
it would appear. 1t practically amounts
to life sentence. In making his plea
he asked that clemency be shown to his
seventeen-year-olds son, who is under in
dictment for assault upon him. He con-
fessed that the boy did right in shooting
him. Henry Johns, who acted as Dick
mann's counsel, said that the old man
realized the enormity of his offense and
was willing to stand punishment for it..
In passing sentence upon the prisoner
Judge Kerr said that he took into consid-
GRAFTON the second Indictment against him.
He spoke of the revolving nature of the
crime, SO revolving that he could hardly
trust himself to speak dispassionately of
it. Mrs. Dickmann, his wife, who has
not lived with the defendant since she
began to suspect him of having unnatu-
raj relations with his daughters, was in
the outer room when the prisoner was
brought to the bar with her two daugh-
ters They did not seem to regret the
sentence passed upon the unnatural hus-
band and father.

Hay in Washington.

Washington. June 2.-Ex-United States
District Attorney E. G. Hay arrived
here last evening on business connected
with the allowance of his final accounts
with the department of justice. I'm
cidentally Mr. Hay would like an oppor-
tunity to appear before the house ju-
dietary committee in the matter of Boon 8
proposed investigation. Mr.. Hayp rob-
ably knows more about the circumstances
that led to the adjournment of the Fergus
Falls term than any one else, and he
maintsins that it was fully justified as
well as perfectly legal. The investigation,
however, will probably be sidetracked by
to-day's discoveries as to the law and
the subsequent introduction of Boen's

Boston, June If ordinances adopted
ut the parish meeting of the Shawmut

society will soon be changed from con-
ventional religious organization to non-

vantage of the change and elevate the
people that now surround it. The Rev.

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 2.-In the cir

murrer to the indictment against Clerk
of Court Thorne for embezzling 81 900 of
county funds during 1892. The defend
ants attorney demanded an immediate
trial, and the case was called at 8 o'clock
this morning. Considerable interest is
felt in this matter by the citizens of the
city. and county, some, and perhaps a
majority of them, thinking that it is
simply piece of persecution, as every
body knows that the money would have
been paid to MIR. Thorne's deputy by the
county commissioners if it had not been
paid to him by Mr.. Thorne. Nobody
charges that he used the money on him
self, but simply paid his clerk hire with
