The front of the hall was full of Prus-

holes in the wall, as though they ex-

attack. Their officer a little rat of a

said the only Russian words that l

is fine we shall meet under the oak tree,
and if it rains we shall meet in the

that he gave me credit for saying some

Captain Jack Crawford is known in
the western states aS "the Poet Scout" "
Even Cody and Carver were never cali

Now Crawford, while yet boy, fought
n the great war, was wounded, and as
an interesting hospital patient was edu-
Gated by the sisters of mercy. When
the war was over he was employed as
an Indian scout.
He saw many and varied adventures,
and was with General Cook through
the Sitting Bull campaign and led the

Custer massacre. From 1879 to 1881 he
was chief of the scouts under Generals
Hatch and Buell. in the Victoria cam

New York, April 13.-Three men who
sailed in the yacht Sudiose on Friday
from Rockville Center for Long Beach
have probably been drowned. They are
Thomas Mack, wealthy plumber of 81
Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn; Carl Ayres,
wholesale plumber, of 27S Fifth street,
Brooklyn, who lives here, and Captain
James Hutchinson, of the yacht. Johns
Inlet, the outlet from the bay, has been
the scene of many wrecks. Searching par

of the boat or men. Daniel Denote, SUI
perintendent of the saw mills ut Rock
vile Center, L. l., and his son Robert,
who sailed oceanward in the yacht Joseph
before the storm began, are missing. 1t
is thought that they were caught outside
by the gale, and that both have been
drowned. Three duck hunters started out
Monday afternoon from Freeport, L. l.,
and have not been heard from since. It is
believed that they may have ben drowned.
1t is reported that large sloop yacht was
sunk in the storm in the sound, near

Leuven Case II Changed.
Minneapolis, April 13.-The office of the
special pension examiners in the federal
building looked rather deserted yesterday.
These highly estimable but very mysteri-
Gus gentlemen have about completed their
work in this city for the present, and are
clening up the odds and ends of various
affairs preparatory to leaving for the
.Khe of the big Van Leuven trials at
~ 1lque. The interest of the public is
generally awakened now to the magnitude
OF the pension investigation which is go
ing on ut present in all sections of the
United States. The fact that a Tennessee
pension attorney has just been sent up
for twenty eight years for dallying with
the pension regulations, and that pension
attorneys in other 'pnrts of the country
are in very unenyiable positions in con-
nection with these matters, tends to at
tract the attention of the people of the
Northwest to the Van Leuven cases at
Dubuque on the 10Th of this month. John
Day Smith of this city, who has been
engaged by Van Leuven us his attorney
in the Iowa cases, has already fled de-
murrer to most of the indictments which
were returned there les: December, and is
now engaged in various other important
details preliminary to the trial.

Fargo, n. D., April 13.-Some time ago

gave her name as Mrs. John A. Lewis
She went to leading hotel and wanted
room by the month. The landlord said
he had none to rent, as the house was
full all the time and he kept what room
was possible for transients. She wished
to know what he received for his best
rooms per day, and when the price was
named she said she would Fay that She
employed prominent firm of attorneys

Soon travelling Journalist turned up who

Il an Col. John A. <Cockerill of the New

he wrote Town Topics, and the article
which appeared therein soon carried Mrs.
Cockerill back to New York, and word

for divorce has been dropped. When the

last night Gen. Kelly's army of the COM
monweal, which had encamped on the
plains of Utah, eight miles out of Ogden,
quickly broke camp and captured Union
Pacific freight train made up of box cars
en- route to the mines. Gen. Kelly at
once assumed command of the train load
of fcotsore and weary travellers The en-
gineer and fireman obeyed orders as is-
sued by the commandant, as they had
instructions to do SO from Supt. Bancroft,
Of the Mountain division, should one of
the trains in his division be captured by
the industrial legion. The capture was
totally unexpected, although Supt. Ban
croft had predicted that such move
ment would very likely take place on the
part of Gen. Kenlly and his henchmen.
The march from Ogden was full of Incl
dent and excitement to the hundreds of
men who compose the army. There were
plenty of stragglers, men weak from want
of food, men with rheumatism, pneumo-
MIA and the countless other things that
follow in the wake of starvation and pri-
walton. When Utah was reached the
army decided to 80 into camp for the
night. but pickets were put out, and when
a freight train came along it was held up
in regular "bold bandit style, the train
men showing little disposition to question

been found guilty of participating in the
crime. The jury returned it's verdict at

five hours. The verdict read: Guilty as

to it was a recommendation for mercy.
Howard heard the result with s.oical de-
mcanor, and did not at any time batray
the slightest emotion. When led back to
the Jail few moments later he ell
deavored to shcw bold front to the
fifty people assembled in the court room,
though it was evident to the deputies
that he was much depressed in spirits.

WINGED that the story told by Mrs. Orrie
Jennings was inspired by jealousy. In
qriry at Duluth shows that the $4,000
diamond robbery that Mrs. Jennings also
accused krehbs of being a party to, was
rever committed. This convinced the de-
