much information. The picture was
taken in London, and Immediately upon
finding it, the detective wrote q letter to
the Scotland Yard officials, asking them
to find the woman, and get from her
such information as was possible. There
was q number on the photograph, and
although taken seventeen years ago, the
detectives found that the girl at one
time was an inmate of q house of lire
pute owned by Mrs. Mary Neville, at Is
st. Georges Row, s. W. Her name was
Ellen P. Martin, and Kent, who then as
sumed the name of Judd G. Lane, FREE
quently visited her. Lane said he was q
Canadian manufacturer and spent his
money freely.
This gave the detective a clue to
Kent's record. He discovered that Kent
alias Lane, was the owner of a barrel
mandatory in Canada. He came to
Minneapolis, and married a young So
ciety woman, who soon after died, the
doctors said of heart disease, and Kent
was free M more. He accepted a po-
sition as cashier of the First National
bank of Medina, Ohio. One morning
the young cashier skipped, taking with
HIM, it is charged, all the cash in sight.
Not Yet.
A number of curious persons were at
the train Monday morning, to witness the
passing through of Kent, who is to be
taken to Mandan, but he failed to mate
rialize. Kent was brought to Mime
apolis Friday, by Detective Ehrlichman
and Sheriff Bingenheimer, and was ex-
pected to arrive in Mandan both yester-
day and to-day, but so far he has not ar
rived. What will be done with Kent
when he reaches Mandan, has not been
settled yet. Mandan people think he
should be confined at a distance from
Swidensky, which will insure entire alb
sence of communication between the
two. The Pioneer says:
Nobody is thoroughly Informed as to
what will be done with Myron R. Kent
when he reaches Mandan. One thing is
certain-it will not do to put him and Tom
~Swidensky int m ,jail, or where
they can have any communication with
each other. The indications are that they
have had altogether too much communities
ton. Somebody has suggested that Tom
should be put in the temporary cell that is
beneath the court house. Others have
suggested that Kent be put in charge OF
the sheriff of Burlegh county, and that or
Mr.. Donnelly be placed the responsibility
of taking care of the alleged accomplish
One thing is certain-kent will not be al
lowed any liberty, and nobody but his at
torney will be allowed to communicate
with him.
Sheriff Donnelly said this morning
that he had not been communicated
with or seer in regard to the matter, and
knows of no arrangements to have Ken
incarcerated here, but that if the Morton
county officials &C dispose, he is willing
to take charge of him, pending his trial
Attorney Rice is over from Mardar
this afternoon, and says it seems tht
opinion in Mandan that the officers arr
waiting in St. Paul to get some wit
nesses who are wanted against Kent, be
fore they bring him on. 1t is reported
that about five hundred people were a
the station in Mandan when the trair
come in, to see the prisoner, who did no
come.

Kent Back in Mandan.

The now notorious Myron r. Kent,
the details Of whose capture, and the in
cidents of whose career have occupied
numerous columns Of newspaper space
in the past week or 30, is back at the
scene of the crimes, for which he is
wanted in Mandan. Kent passed
through to Mandan on last Tuesdays
train, in charge of Geo. II. Bingenheimer
Of Mandan, and was confined in the Jail
at the latter place. The man looks old
or by years then when last seen IN Bis
marck, six months ago, and is dressed
rather more shabbily than then. His
gray hair and mustache seem grayer,
and his face is thinner than ever and
bears evidences OF an intense nervous
strain, which increased as the train Of
this morning approached Bismarck and
Mandan, his old stamping ground.
Kent still protests his entire innocence
of any completely IN the death of his
wife, and says he was ignorant of the
shooting until May Goth, when a friend
telegrRphed him.
An immense crowd greeted the train
at Mandan, when the prisoner was taken
off, but there were no demonstrations of
any sort, the crowd having gathered out
of curiosity to see again the man whose
departure was marked by such a tragic
event. Kent was taken at once to the
county jail, and confined there. It is
not known just when is preliminary
hearing will take place, and it is under
stood that r. N. Stevens has been en-
gagged to defend him,

was arrested for at this time.
The News also gives an interview with
Kent, who still claims the killing was
accidental, as follows: "Parties came to
my house, and my wife, thinking they
were burglars, called to Tom to get a
gun and fire it off, to frighten them
away. By accident my wife was shot
and 30 far as I can learn my son Earl,
who is only ten years old, testified at the
inquest that the killing was accidental.
I was in Ingham county, Michigan, at
the time, and was going through to Chi
cago, to attend to some business. NY
law practice was large, and I incurred
the enmity Of some Of my neighbors, as
I was highly successful. They may be
responsible for my arrest. I don't wish
to say anything about my disappearance
from home. That will come out later"
Ehrlichman has much information re
garding the history Of Kent. In fact,
the detective hes labored night and day
since he undertook to find the murder
ers Of Mrs. Kent. and his success has
been remarkable. The correct name Of
the prisoner is Pancoast, and he was
born in Burbank, Ohio. His parents
are highly respectable, and they still live
in Burbank. His father, w. w. Pam
coast, is Sc years old, and his mother has
passed her 8Oth year.
Through 9 girls photograph found at
Kent's home, the detective obtained

it is sought to be taken by a municipal
corporation.
Further: Payment by an order drawn
by the drain commissioners upon the drain
age fund, which order the statute declares
"shall be deemed a sufficient security for
the amount thereof" was not u pay
menta as the constitution requires.
Further: That since the statute failed
to provide compensation as required by the
constitution the power of eminent domain
could not be exercised under the statute
and shorn of the provisions relating to the
exercise of the right of eminent domain
the statute becomes so incomplete and in
efficient that we cannot presume that the
legislature would have passed it thus en-
asculated, thus the entire statute must
fail
Further: That a provision in the statute
that the warrant for damages, in case the
owner was unknown, should be deposited
with the county auditor for his use, was a
violation of the constitution provision that
required compensation to be paid into
court.
Further: That when when a municipal
corporation sought to take plaintiffs pro-
perty for public use, he was not entitled to
have the compensation ascertained by
jury.
The drainage statute provides that the
cost Of the drain shall be apportioned by
the drain commissioners between the cities
and townships and property benefited by
the drain and provides further that such
cast so appOrtioned shall be entered upon
the tax list and collected in n year. But
the county commissioners may issue bonds
of the county running not more thar 20
years, in sufficient amount to cover costs OF
drains in each county, the proceeds of the
bonds to go direct to the drain fund to pay
the costs of such drains. In that event,

HANKE PAINTED
WHILE LEADING BELL AND LOST IHE FIRST
RACE
katsd at PiiRSurg Las. Night-Sscond Ra:a
Tonight - Last Nights Bowling
Gamss-0lhsr Sport.

About twenty-five or thirty Wheeling
persons went up to Pittsburg yesterday
afternoon, to witness the first OF the
series Of three races between John j.
Bell, OF Cleveland, aud Eugene 'Hanke
of this city, for $3.50 a side, and the
cham pionship Of the world.
A special telegram received by the
REGISTER, states that the race was
skated in the Auditorium rink In Pitts
burg. Bell, who is managing the rink,
was In the pink OF condition, while
Hanke was In fairly good trim. There
was a good sized crowd present, and a
large amount OF money, at even bets,
changed hands on the result. The rink
is a large one, ten laps to the mile.
The race was skated at 9 o'clock.
The men got away together, and start
ed without any advantage for either,
for several laps. Hanke gradually
went ahead, and in the nineteenth lap
had 4 good lead. He looked ike sure
winner, but he became suddenly i'll and
tainted on the track, his opponent win
ming with ease. The official time was
given as 2:l4.
Hanke recovered In a short time, and
late last night was in good trim and
confident of winning the series OF races.
The second race will be skated tonight,
and IL a third is necessary, it will be
skated saturday night.

TO BE CHANGED.
The Old Riverside Nail Factory to be

The Old Riverside Nail Factory to be
Turn ed Into a shovel Works.
Yesterday morning force OF men
were put to work tearing out the ma
chinery in the old Riverside nail fac
tories at Twenty-fonrth street and the
B. & O. railroad, preparatory, 1t is said,
TO putting in the necessary machinery
for the manufacture of shovels. At
the compsny's tube works and steel
mill in Bsnwood. heretofore there has
always been a large amount OF scrap
iron and steel which has had 10 be
worked over. To do away with this
matter OF working over the scrap, 1t is
understood that the company has cou-
ceived the idea of starting q shovel fac
tory at their old nail mill, A few
weeks ago a man from Pittsburg
who is an expert In the manulac-
ture of shovels was In the city aud
with the officials Of the Riverside Com
pany examined the old nail mills at
Twenty.fourth street and also the
waste scrap at the Benwood mill aud 1t
is reported that as result OF consul
tation the shovel factory will be started
as soon as il is possible TO put In the
necessary machinery.
This new departure OF the Riverside
Company is commendable one, as 1t
will not only ooyiate the necessity OF
their building standing idle, but will
also give employment 20 a number OF
workmen who are now idle.

Delaware's Hundreds.

In the days when the Saxons dominated
England, prior to the coming of William
of Normandy, the people were formed into
divisions of hundreds. This was dons
mainly for military purposes and the con
venience of assembly upon the summons
of the powerful earls and barons to whom
the people owed allegiance. These hun
dreds usually consisted of ten families,
each family being computed at minimum
Of ten persons. In time the families in.
creased in membership, but did not lose
their Individual identity nor change the
designation Reorganization In the ns..
ural order of events these hundreds ex-
banded into communities and ultimately
into geographical divisions and took Cd
geographical designations.
Some of the American colonists adopted
this form of geographical division, and
thus we still have hundreds in Delaware
and Virginia, although in the latter state
that form Of designation is but seldom
used. But in Delaware hundred is univer-
sally used to describe the divisions Of a
county and is equivalent to the township
in Pennsylvania and other states.--Phila.

The horrors ana frightful sutferings
experienced from nervousness and nerv-
Gus complaints are too terrible to be ex-
pressed in words. Nothing can describe
the agony which fills the mind of such
persons. They have lost control of their
nerves, and with it have gone the
strength, power and vigor of the system.
Well may their cheeks blanch, and well
may they tremble for their lives and
their reason. Every strain on those weak
ened nerves, every hour that glldes
silently by is a step towards insanity,
paralysis or the grave. An unheeded OPP
portunity for cure, and then brain ex-
haustion, nervous prostration or death.
One of the greatest OF these sufferers
v as the well-known Miss jessie McVey,
residing at Irvington, Ind. She found a
treasure of priceless value in the only
positive cure, the only sure saver of
health. Read her own description OF
her horrible suffering and wonderful
cure.

more tired than when went to bed, and
on going UP stairs would give clear

my heart would fiutter and feel as

My head also troubled me a great
deal. My face would flush up in
moment, and my eyes would burn ana
hurt and my head would feel as though
it would burst; at the same time my
