viously informed that the other had

result. Both Henry and Bernard began
approaching each other in bitter terms

TOP EKA, Kan, Feb. 17.-Three big,
hungry lions escaged from Sells IL Rem
frew's winter quarters in the heart of
Topeka today, and during the time they
were at large terroriZed tue community
as only savage lious can. The elephants
were engaged iu fight. which made
the lions nervous. Three of the lions
were in one cage, and large one
named Nero was in another cage near
by. The three became engaged in a
pitched battle, which ended in all of
them gaining their liberty. The keeper.
who was alone, and not prepared
for such an emergency, ran out of
the building, leaving the door open to
the lot in the rear Of the buildings, and
the two lions were out in moment.
There were four head of fine cattle be-
longing to Col. Sells in this lot, and
they soon became the prey of the lions,
which was probably all that saved
Keeper Briggs life. 1t being late at
night, Col. Sells was notified, and by
the time he arrived the lions had killed
the cattle and were sucking their blood.
which made them all the more ferocious

work, the beasts were driven back into
another cage that was placed near the
entrance of the buildings.

the Oregonian. In July, 1892, he OBJ
tanned a leave of absence, saying he
was going to the mountains in Idaho
for rest. When he did not return the
officers of the land company began an
investigation and found he had been
embezzling money some time, and the
case was put in the hands of detective
agency. After an absence of about
three weeks he wrote letter from Liv-

The face of the draft examined under
glass showed the line drawn after the
written words "thirty-three" had been
erased with acids and the word hundred
inserted.
What made the swindle more easily
put through was that Harper, or Hen
derson. for he had offices in different
parts of Chicago under these names,
was a depositor in the American Trust
and Savings bank, and the raised draft
was aeposited to his credit in the insti-
tuition. The banks in Chicago, or at
least number of them. make up their
accounts with out-of-toWn banks once
or twice month, so that Harper i'm
agined he would have a week or so TO
play his game before the swindle was
discovered. The First National bank of
this city, however. as previously stated.
receives advices daily as to the drafts
paid by its Chicago correspondent, the
Continental bank, and By this means the
affair was discovered. The Continental
bank, however. does not quit any loser,
as Harper, under the impression that
the swindle would not be discovered tor
several days, still had on deposit 81, 200
at the American Trust and Savings
bank, and this amount was at once
nailed by the Continental bank officials
to protect them. 1t is claimed in Chicago
that number OF the banking institu-
tions there have been caught by the
same kind of raised drafts, and that all
the paper used by the swindlers was
purchased in ST. Paul, and after reach
ing Chicago was raised so that 100 for 1
was paid by the banks handling drafts.
A call at several of the local banks
yesterday afternoon showed that. so far
as the officials knew, they had not
issued drafts on Chicago to Frank Ii.
Harper, although it was possible drafts
might have been purchased by the
swindlers under other names. The eX-
tent of the operations will not be def
nitely known until all the drafts handled
by Harper in Chicago have been eX-
amined. In no case. however, will the
st. Paul banks be responsible fer any
of the money paid by the Chicago banks
TO Harper or his confederates on raised
drafts. the loss falling on the banks
which allow the paper to pass them
without discovering the fraud.
Harper, who has been ostensibly act
ing as dealer in car couplers for the
past two months, is now missing, and
the Chicago police have sent out the
following telegram to all the principal
cities In the United States and Canada:

MANKATo, Minn., Feb. IT, - Mrs.
Bernhardt was released from the insane
asylum at st. Peter yesterday, aud
brought home to this city by her hus1
band, who had been notified to come
and take her, owing to the law being
unconstitutional. Mr.. Bernhardt APP
piled to Judge Torrey this morning to
have his wife recommitted under the
old law. But the judge holds that if the
new law is unconstitutional there is no
law, and declined to take action at pres,
ent. He said:
s'If the supreme court made blunder
in declaring the new law unconstitu-
tional that does not affect the law by
any means, and ii 1 make any eXamina-

new law is constitutional. no matter

Judge Torrey'S stand causes amuse-

not recede. In the meantime the i'll

SCHOOL TEACHERS TESTIMONY.
LEXINGTON, Feb. 17.-In the eXami-
nation of witnesses for the defense in
tho Breckenridge-Polla case, two
witnesses were examined. One was
Maj. Mcclellan, principal of Sayre
institute, where Miss Pollard attended
school fromstlle fall of 1854 to February,
sent from school. She left the institute
in February, 1885, and did not
return until September of the same
year. Then she remained until
April. During this time it was hot
uncommon for her to be absent
for one OF several days at time. Ii she
had any acquaintance with Col. .Breckin-
ridge at that time witness knew nothing
of it. One of witness daughters was
Miss Pellard's teacher. and three of his
daughters were 'schoolmates of Miss
Pollard, so witness thought that if any
thing had been wrong with Miss Pollard
he should have known it. He had no
knowledge of any one communicating
with her at the time she was in school.
Her tuition was always paid i'll cash,
and receipts were given as it the money
had been paid by her mother. Witness
did not know why she left school either
time. except for lack of funds. and if
she was in
A DELICATE CONDITION
in April, 1885, he saw no indication of
it. He had no information concerning
Miss Pollard's relations with James G.
Rodes till about the time of her leaving
school in the spring of 1856, when he
learned that ROdes had been paving
her bills up to that time, because she
had contracted to marry him when she
finished school, and the payment of her
board, tuition, etc., was part of this
contract.
The next witness was Mrs. M, A.
Ketchum. She stated that Miss Pollard
entered her house as 4 boarder in the
fall of 1884. and remained in her house
until about February, 1885. Miss Pol
lard was absent during her stay at Mrs.
Ketchum's house. Miss Poliard's room
could be reached from the street. If
there was anything unusual about Miss
Pollard's condition when she left her
boarding place, either in 1885 or 1886. it
was not discovered by Mrs. Ketchum.
Dispositions for the defendant will be
taken in Danville, KY. Monday, at
Frankfort Tuesday and Wednesday,
and again here Thursday or Friday of
next week.

CHICAGO BANKS.
OUR BANKS LOSE NOTHING.

One Frank n. Harper, Alias Hene
derson. Buys Small Drafts on
Chicago in Saint Paul and
Raises Them to Enormous
Amounts-This Paper Escaped
Detection in Chicago.
The police department of Chicago
are just now making an effort to locate
Frank II. Harper, alias Henderson, who
mas been working off a number of raised
drafts OH the banks of that city. The
sWindle is given local tinge from the
fact that either Harper or his confeder-
etes are known to have purchased one
of the drafts. which was raised from
S33 TO $1,000, from the First National
bank of this city, and it was through
the officials of the First National that
the swndle was exposed.
On Feb. Z the exchange clerk of the
First National bank of this city issued a
draft on the Continental National Bank
of Chicago for S33. No particular atten-
ton was paid to the matter, but, as is
the custom between the two particular

First National bank was notified that
the Continental bank had paid or ecrti-
fed draft, giving the number, for
$1,000. A telegram was at once sent the
Continental bank that no such draft had
been issued, but that on Feb. Z draft
for S33 had been secured.
The Chicago bank at once commenced
Investigations and found that the draft
which had been issued for s33 had been
raised so as to make it read for $500,
and so clever was the work done that it
passed through the American Trust and
Savings bank, the clearing house and
the Continental bank without the of
fleials discovering the draft had been
raised. ;

SALTWATER. Feb. 17.-Nearly 100
members of the Minnesota Editors
and Publishers association with
their wives, daughters and friends.
visited the prison today, and
more enjoyable trip ha sseldom
been taken by members of the associa-
ton. They arrived at the prison over
the st. Paul & Duluth road from Min
neapolls at 9:25. and were met at the
door by Warden Wolfer and Messrs.
Norrish, O'Brien and Hall, of the
board of prison managers. AS soon as
wraps had been removed they were
ushered into the cell room, and here
began general tour Of observation.
Every department was visited, and it
was altogether pleasing to see how well
the visit was enjoyed, especially by
those who bad never been inside the
gates before. The party separated
in small squads and were piloted about
the institution and shops by the
officials and brother editors. Nearly all
visited the solitary and hospital, and
were surprised at the manner in which
these two departments are kept. Squads
visited the binding twine factory, and
a good share of the forenoon was spent
there. They watched the process of
manufacturing twine with no little in
teresr, and the editors complimented
the warden and board of managers
highly on the thorough system of disci-
pline which was noticed here better
than in any other part of the institu-
tion. At about II o'clock Steward Ben
ner announced that dinner was ready,
and part of the guests were escorted
to the dining rooms, where an excellent
dinner was served. Nearly all had
partaken of good square meal before
time for the convicts to quit work, and
when the word was given that the con-
victs would march in, all hurried back
into the cell room to see them
come in. They next visited the
prisoners dining rooms. where
they watched the convicts eat
their dinner. The gentlemen of the
party next called on Warden Wolfer's
office, where cigars were passed
around, and while they smoked
the ladies amused themselves 60
ing through the female department.
When the time came tor returning

and in a neat speech thanked the
warden. the board of managers and
other officials of the institution for the
manner in which the guests had been
treated. They were sorry, he said, that
they could not stay longer. but he felt
sure that editor would carry home
with him pleasant recollections of tn e
visit. The train left here, returning to

satisfied with their visit.
