more lame defense. Here were two
ignorant persons. one of whom could
neither read nor write," persons who
were unfamiliar with legal practice or

a paper which contained among other
things this passage:
"And that so far as the same can op-
crate in law, that this agreement shall
be taken and accepted as full, a0so-

The GLOBE is in possession of the
copy of the agreement given to Mrs.

Lutte and complete divorce" are under

response to a request from Chief of PO-
lice Seaman. committee was appoint
ed to present the demands of the men
to the railrOed officials, who were found
in the Office of John Y. Stone. While
the committee was in the Office ths men
lined up along the sides of the square,
warming their toes by stamping on the
pavement and cheering imprOmptu
speakers. In Mr.. Stones Office DR..
Duryea addressed the committee. eX-
planning that he had the conference
with Gen. Kelly and Gov. Jackson. He
said that he was convinced that the
governor was in sympathy with the
men. and anxious to do what was right
and for the best interests of the army.
He had made an earnest effort to pro-
vide for transportation. He had con-
ferred with all the railroads, but so far
had failed. He had even been willing
to put his individual hands into the state
treas ury and
PAY THEIR FARES.
Now. DR.. Duryea said, two alterna-
tives presented themselves: TO bring
back the men to the ChautauQua
grounds and there house and feed them
until transportation could be provided
by way OF Kansas City, or to take ad-
vantage OF an offer made by the Rock
Island to carry the men as regular
passengers.
Mr.. Tichnor, who acted as spokesman,
was very positive that Kelly's army
would not go to Kansas City. and that
they would go to Chicago today.
q. b. Daily took the floor. and wanted
to pacify matters, but the committee
was warm. and Informed him that there
was no use Of multiplying words, for
they were determined to see that the
army went out of Council Bluffs. They
demanded to see some representatives
of the railroads. but were informed that
none were in town. After some talk. it
was explained that the plan was to
bring the men back to Council Bluffs
and take them to Kansas City by boat.
Many of the company were of the Opin-
ion that this was scheme Oh the part OF
the railroads and refused to listen to it.
The mayor was then called in. and pro.
tested that it was no scheme. The
statement was reiterated that the men
were not going to Kansas City, but to
Chicago, and DR.. Randolph said that
the committee was not in Council
Bluffs to talk to the governor, but to
railway officials. Attorney Harle made
an attempt to say something, when a
little pandemonium broke loose, in the
midst of which troop of twenty or
more women beaded by Mrs. T. Herman
marched into the Office. A proposition
was made to march to the depos and
seize a train when DR.. Duryca- cried
out:
Hold on, brethren; don't forget that
we are all under one. flag. and that
Council Bluffs and Omaha, Nebraska
and Iowa are all one in this matter"
The committee left the office in a huff
to look at the telegrams said TO have
been sent to the railroad officials.
Chief Scanlan, who met the army at
the bridge, had all the saloons closed,
ana the company officers suppressed
the numerous vocal demonstrations
which were made.

Divorce.

Attorney for Ed Paul,

S...... i
As In the text of the document the
word divorce" on the backing is under
scored with heavy red lines, and it is
also printed with pen, making it the
most conspicuous word on the docu-
ment.
Mr.. Holcomb supplies an alleged affi-
| davlt from the woman, setting forth
that she understood she was not di-
vorced. If the affidavit is genuine
(and perhaps it should in justice be re-
garded about as genuine as the $40
divOrce) IL is net difficult to understand
how an ignorant woman might be made
to believe that it was necessary to sign
in the matter.
But what are the facts? When Paul
found he could not transfer property
without the signature of his supposed
divorced wife, he had her arrested for
bigamy at the instance of Holcomb.
She was in delicate condition, but was
nevertheless brought to the city hall
and locked up in the prisoners cage.
With fear and tears she produced from
iSA olOoo pOChCU tnC QOCuLA6Ilb WHICH
the GLOBE printed yesterday. to show
she had legal right to marry, and had
committed (as she supposedly no crime.
When the genuine divorce proceed
lngs were subsequently conducted, the
marriage license secured in Duluth for
herself and Lang was produced In
court, shaving that she married in good
faith, relying upon the acumen and
integrity of the $40 divorce lawyer for
her protection.
Aud thus the shameful story is more
than confirmed by the explanation.
For those who like such kind of a
municipal judge as Walter Holcomb,
Walter Holcomb is the kind of munic-
ipal judge they like.
Otherwise, otherwise.

The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1894-04-06

Holland has perhaps come neare'f. than
any other nation to successfully solving
the problem Of what to do with city pau
pers. Usually they are herded into great
poorhouses and fed at public expense.
The only work they do is that required
to keep the premises where they are
housed in order. They are a miserable,
ungrateful lot. The charity they live on
is doled ont to them grudgingly, and they
are "A heavy expense. Political corrup-
ton and private jobbery creep into the
management of the establishments where
they are kept. That at least is the Amer
lean system, and it could not be worse.
With the thrifty, wise Dutch the idea
is not to herd them together, but to scat
ter them. They are taken from the city
slums and distributed upon public farms.
Professor Peabody, who gives in The Fo-
rum some facts concerning the Dutch
system, says there are no great Door
houses and few ablebodied paupers in
Holland. There is a tract of public land
containing 1000 acres. 1t is divided into
six model farms, and to one Of these is
sent the poor person applying for public
relief. If he voluntarily serves till he
learns agriculture, he is allowed to rent
a small farm for himself and be what is
called a free farmer. Every paupsr who
is thus reclaimed to honest, regular in
dustry is so much gain to the state.
There isalso a forced labor colony, where
beggars and Migrants are sent and made
to do farm and other work whether they
want to or not.

HORRIBLE MURDER.
Ole Liledall Found on HighwOOd Creek
with His Throat Cut from
Ear to Ear.
John Osnes Arrested at Benton with
Blood on His Coat and Liiedall's
Watch in His Pocket.

Some days ago John Osnes, a Nor
wegiap, who has been in the country fer
some years, accompanied by Ole Liledall,
a newcomer, went to the Highwoods to
see the latter's cousin, Peter Testal.
A few days ago Osnes returned to
Benton without his companion, and the
absence Of Liledall being known the
former was arrested. On being searched
blood was found on his coat, and the
watch and knife of the deceased found
in his pocket. Osnes stated that he got
the watch from Lou Holland, which the
latter on being Intercepted positively
denied. 1t was then believed without
doubt that I.iledall had been murdered,
with the strongest suspicion resting on
Osnes. The sheIiff's officers secured the
country in search Of the body. but with
out success. With this end in view
Sheriff O'Neal arrived in Great Falls
yesterday to secure the help of the Cas-
cade county officials IN searching the
Highwood q Belt sections. Last
evening Sheriff Hamilton received a tel
egram from Benton stating that tie
body had been found on Highwood creek.
The particulars obtained were meager,
but it is evident the murderer cut his
victims throat with a pocket knife.
The deceased, Ole Liledall, was a Nor
weigian, about 20 years of age, light
complexion, and small stature. Before
he left Oh his unfortunate journey he
deposited a sum of money in the Stock
mans National bank at Benton, and it
is thought he took very little money
with him on his trip.
The accused, John Osnes, is a heavy
set, powerful Norwegian, and the circum-
stances in the case point with dire sus-
picion to him as an actor in the tragedy.
