Two Minnesota Boys who Thought They
Could Quit Uncle Sans Service.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Congressman
McCleary has secured the release from
the military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth of Nels b. and Stark w. Nelson
of Balaton, two young Minnesotans who
were caught by the fiattering prospects
held out by the recruiting officer of the
regular army. They deserted Aug. 8,
1892. and went home to resume their
labors on their fathers farm. Only a
short time later they were arrested and
taken to Fort Smelling for trial. They
were sentenced to imprisonment at Fort
Leavenworth for two years.
The case Of these two boysis different
from that of the ordinary deserter. They
felt a responsibility to their parents.
They probably did not consider this
matter seriously until they had sworn
to serve their country and had donned
the blue; but when word came from
home that the mortgage on the farm
was to be f~oreclosed, and the parents
were to be turned out of their home,
they concluded their first duty was to
those at home, and thither they went.
If they had not been disturbed
they would i'll all probability
have succeeded in improving matters
greatly, but their arrest and enforced
absence again threatened to render their
parents homeless. At this junction l..
NJ. Lange Of Marshall learned of the
case, and after gathering the evidence
transmitted it to Mr.. McCleary, by
whom it was presented to the secretary
of war. After a full investigation the
young ex-solliers were ordered released

SHIP WENT DOWN.
The Loss of the Willard off the Coast
of Central America Has Been
Confirmed.
She Went Down i'm Il Gale and of the
Sixty Men on Board Not One
Was Saved.
Men Were Being Conveyed From
Greytown to Bluefelds by u
Navigation Company.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 21.-A special to
The Commercial Gazette from New
Orleans says: The rumor Prevailing
here that the steamer Willard, belong
ing to the Nicaragua Navigation COM
pany, having on board 80 men, had
been lost off the Nicaragua coast n week
ago, has been confirmed. Not a man of
those on board the vessel survived to
tell the story. A reporter met an Eng
Hsh gentleman in the st. Charles hotel,
who is going to Nicaragua in the morn
ing and who has interests in that Sec
ton. He has received word from Grey
town confirming the rumor of the lost
vessel. This authority said a cable was
sent to London telling of the loss and
the watery grave found by all on board.
The cable was sent to a man in London
who is interested in the Nicaragua
Navigation company, in the service of
which was the Inflated vessel, with the
10 men on board.
The Willard was a tug of 90 tons bur-
den, commanded by Captain Joe
Thompson, and was making its way
with the 60 men from Greytown to
Bluefields, where they were to do some
work for the navigation company. Sew
eral weeks elapsed and no news was re-
ceived that the vessel had arrived. Ru-
mors were circulated that it had gone
down in the Caribbean sea, and that all
on the ship were lost in the squall which
some time ago blew terrifically across
that body of dangerous waters. While
the confirmation of the loss of the ship
is made in the dispatch forwarded to
London, no particulars could be ascer-
tanned. 1t will never be known whether
the vessel went down in a gale which is
purported to have visited the waters in
which it piled shortly after its departure
from Greyton or whether it sprung a
leak which the men could not stop.
Captain Anderson, the Englishman who
informed the reporter of the contirma-
ton of the rumor, said he was ac-
quainted with Captain Thompson and
had seen the vessel, which, he says, was
about 81 tons burden. Whether or not
any of the wreckage will be found to
tell the sad tale is not known.

Trouble Over tho Distribution Of Supplies
at Bessemer, Mich.

~
IRoNwooD, Mich, Feb. 21.-A serious
riot occurred at Bessemer Saturday over
the distribution of supplies sent to this
section for the benefit of the starving
miners. It was learned recently that
many of the men who had been receiv-
ing help were possessed of a plentiful
supply of provisions and considerable
money, and in justice to those who have
been sending contributions to this Sec
ton, it was decided to refuse further
help to such people. Notices to this
effect were sent out during the week.
Friday w. J. Haggerson, justice of the
peace and poor commissioner at Besse-
mer, received several threatening letters
warning him of death if the decision of
the poOr commissioners should be en-
forced.
Saturday morning a large gang of
Italians and Poles assembled in front of
the poor supply store and threatened to
commit depredations unless contribu-
tons were continued. Three men en-
tered the store and, brandishing knives
and guns, helped themselves to a supply
of flour and pork. Several officers stood
by, but were so alarmed over the situa-
ton that they dared not interfere.
The mob her started for the residence
of w. j. Haggerson, but he had re-
moved his wife and children to a place
of safety. He returned to his home with
a Winchester and had been Joined by
about Is of his friends who were
thoroughly armed. They succeeded for
awhile in subduing the disturbance, but
an hour later the tumultuous gang be-
came so strong that Haggerson and his
friends were obliged to flee for the
woods. Haggerson and his family and
many of his friends drove through the
deep snow to Ironwood.
They were forced to leave that place
to protect their lives. A drunken mob
of Italians and Polacks hold possession
of the town and threaten death to all
who have been instrumental in cutting
off supplies.

BY request OF Mayor hickman

men and citizens met at the court
house Monday night for the pur-
pose of talking over the financial
condition of the city and consult

obligations. The meeting was or
ganized by the election OF Mayor
Hickman as chairman and A II.

stated the object of the call of the
meeting and also furnished figures
to enlighten the citizens as to the
true statis of the city's indebtedness,
the taxable wealth of the city. the
amount of money available and the
the amount necessary in excess of
the revenues to pay the towns obli-
cations,
A general discussion of the matter
then took place and talks and sug-
gestions were made by W. 0, Jack

All Of the speakers fayored paying
the city's indebtedness, s,including the
water and light contracts, with the
exception of Atkeson, who argued
in favor of reputation.
| Owing to the fact that sufficient
revenue could not be raised on SOC
levy the speakers took the ground
that the only manner in which the
deficiency could be raised was by
imposing an occupation tax.
| After full discussion of the mat
ter, motion offered by Mr.. Jackson
to refer the entire matter of raising
the revenue by occupation tax or 9th
erwise back to the city council was
carried and the meeting adjourned
the understanding being that the
council would consult with the bust
ness men and that an occupation ia,
adjusted to meet the demands will
be the final solution of the problem
