judgment OF tens OF thousands who IA

nouncing the abuses Of the referee sys-
TEN as sometimes practlced. In me-
CHANCES lien suit for only $685. the referee
had charged 500 for ten sittlngs. SIS for

too high, and he said so emphatIcally.

JOHN DOE A CREDITOR.
Sam Peppin Can't Understand How ne

Sam Peppin Can't Understand How He
Got Into the Bank for $4,000.
GREAT FALLS, March "A special
from Havre states that some rather Gu
rious developments are being brought
to the surface by an examination of the
affairs of the defunct state bank of
Havre. Sam Peppin-everybody in
northern Montana knows Sam, who is
said to have located here in the early
days when his entire possessions con-
sisted of pair of blankets and brand
ing iron-Sam was largely interested in
the bank and was its vice president.
The active management of affairs APP
pears to have been vested in Cashier
Morrill, In investigating the causes
that led up to the suspension of the con-
Germ, Mr.. Peppin is alleged to have
found the name of John Doe charged up
with various amounts of cash, aggre-
eating nearly $4,000. Sam looked at
the name carefully, scratched his head
thoughtfully and murmured Who the
devil Is John Doef nave lived ID THIS
country since Bearpaw mountain was a
hole in the ground and l never met him.
He knows me, though, and has got
about "a, 900 of my money. Who is heF'
And there rolled from the interior of
the bank a series of emphatic expires
sions that presumably voiced his senti-
ments OF the shortage.
1t is alleged that while the liabilities
amount to something about $4,000, the
assets are less than 1000, leaving a
shortage of nearly $4,000 to be account
ed for. 1t is said that the loss will fall
mostly on those who were interested in
the bank, the depositors being few and
the amounts comparatively small.

MORN On LAND SUIT SETTLED.

Lamont, Iowa, Branch. Established by
Prophet smith, the True Church.
KANSAS CRY, March 3.-Tenple lot,-
sacred piece of Mormon soil in indie
pendence, for which the reorganized
church of Jesus Christ, Latter Day
Saints, and the independence faction
of the Mormon church have been fight
ing in the courts for four years, was
today decided by Judge Philips of the
district court to be the property of the
reorganiz;d church. The independence
factions of Mormons is by the opinion
enjoined from asserting title to the
property, the cloud is removed, and full
possession allotted to the plaintiff The
successful organization has its head
quarters at Lamont, Iowa. It's follow
ing numbers 1000 souls and its presi-
dent is Joseph Smith, Jr. son of Prophet
Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism.
Besides settling the title to the much
priced temple lot, which is known
among the Mormons as the Garden of
Eden" the opinion incidentally finds
from the evidence that the reorganized
church of the Latter Day Saints at
Lamont, Iowa, is the real church
founded in 1880 by the prophet Joseph
Smith, and that the factions of the
Mormon church in Utah and Indepen-
dence are offshoots of the mother
church, and have departed from the
teachings of the prophet.
Temple lot comprises block of
property 300 feet square located on one
of the highest eminences in Indepen-
dence. In Judge Philips dec ion deeds,
receipts and other papers are quoted
to show that the church of which
Joseph Smith was prophet, was the true
church and owner of the temple lot.
After the killing of Smith at Carthage,
Ill, in June, 1874, disinterigation set in
and the church split into factions. The
true church, under Joseph Smith, was
esta blished at Lamont Iowa, another
branch went with Brigham Young, and
third, the Hendrickites, remained at
4 Independence.

Old Man Wilson Troubled with Insomnia
-Johnson's Life in Helena.
SPOKANE, March The Wilson's
father son and daughter-who are in
jail pending their trial on the charge
of numbering the latter's husband, ].
W. Johnson, find prison life anything
but pleasant. The son and daughter
have in part recovered from the first
shock of the arrest, but the old man
finds little rest. He is troubled with
sleeplessness, is nervous, and has lost a
large part of his usually large appetite.
The Wilson's have few visitors, an &C.
casional friend from Chatteroy calling,
or their attorney being the only persons
disturbing them.
The Helena Independent, in speaking
of the murder case, says: ~. w. John
son came to Helena with the woman
who is accused of being implicated in
his murder in the fall of 1891. John
son went to work for j. V. Kagle, the
blacksmith, and the wife later went to
work for G. w. Sproule. The couple
did noe seem to get along very anil
cally, because in July, 1892, the wife
had him arrested, charging that he had
threatened to kill her. Johnson was
put under bonds to keep the peace. AS
johnson had always been a peaceable,
industrious, hard-working man he had
no difficulty in getting bail, his employer
and John Scannell going on his bond.
About August /, 1892, Johnson attempt
ed suicide. He took dose of lauda-
mum and was found in an unconscious
condition in the vicinity of Sproule's
residence. DR.. Slavail attended him,
and after some difficulty brought him
around all right, He said his wife
would not live with him, and under
these circumstances he would rather
die than live. While a resident OF
Helena he made a trip to Madison
count y, his mission being to take up
land. His wife told him If he would
get some land that she would live with
him. On his return he told two stories
one was that he had taken up land
and the other that he had been work
ing at his trade for Mr.. Ennis. The
couple left Helena in October, 1892
going to Washington"

Prominent White Metal Advocates Meet

H, L. Frank, Geo. w. Irwin, Henry Will
liams, Q. w. Goodale, ] A. Murray, DR..

of Anaconda and others.
After pleasant interchange of views
it was decided to make a determined
effort TO have strong delegation at
tend the Des Moines conference. A com
mittee was appointed to canvass for
people who would like to attend.
MIR. Henry Wilkins, having returned
only recently from his trip to Colorado,
where he met General Warner, told the
meeting what he learned on his trip to
the east. He said special point to i'm
press upon the Des Moines delegates is
that il is not for own personal interest
that we demand free coinage, but for
the interest of the entire country. They
should be given to understand that the
west is not opposed to gold as money,
but we realize enough gold does not ex-
list for the worlds demand and the addi-
ton of silver as needed to carry on the
business of the world
There has been great change in the
east since the repeal of the Sherman
law" said Mr.. Williams. Even in Bos-
ton they are changing front and are be-
ginning to realize that the Sherman law
had nothing to do with the business
trouble of the country and that the
gold-bug cry against silver was mis-
take. They expected to see everything
coming lovely as soon as silver was
downed, but they are slowly coming to
recognize the fact that they have been
fooled and that, instead of improving
business, it is no better than it was be-
fore the law was repealed. Many east
ern bankers are also expressing disgust
at the condition of affairs and many of
them see in free silver the only remedy
for the national business depression"
Mr.. Williams says the silver industry
in Colorado is in a demoralized condi-
tion. Several other gentlemen made
remarks.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Y. j, March -
About 80 this morning, two negroes,
William Thompson and Hen Baker,
forced an entrance into Moore Bakers
house and sneaked into the sleeping
apartments of the family. Mrs. Baker,

ing, saw the figures of the two men en-
tering the room. She uttered a cry
and William Thompson, rushing across
the room, struck her in the head with
Ratchet, repeating the blow several
times. Baker mad not yet awakened,
but a 14-months-old child was aroused
by the commotion and set up a crv
The wretch Thompson thereupon
crushed the infants skull with Ratchet
Baker was aroused in the meantime
but before he was fully out of bed the
negro was upon him. A fsightful strug-
gle ensued, and when the negro was
getting the worst Of il, his accomplice
rushed to the rescue, but Mr.. Baker
partially avoided the blow from the
Ratchet and escaped with cut on the
forehead. He made a rush at Thomp.
son and received cash In the cheek
Mr.. Baker finally wrenched the AK from
the villain and foored him with the
weapon.
Mr.. Baker found his negro namesake
in the small room adjoining. Fearing
10 enter the room without a weapon, he
procured shotgun. In the meantime
negro Baker crept from the room and
as he reached the stairway Baker fred
and the negro fell.
Mr.. Baker, still in his nightclothes,
ran to the stable and procured a horse
and rode to DR.. Thogan's ofice, half a
mile away. They hurried back to the
scene of the tragedy and found that
Mrs. Baker and the child had been in
stantly killed. Thompson, with seven
fTightful wounds in his head and chest,
was also dead, and his accomplice,
Baker, fatally injured. The latter died
about daylight. A coroner's jury was

turned verdict in accordance with the
facts, generating Baker.

BOISE, Idaho, March 3.-Governor Nc
Connell, in response to letter of inqui-
ry by r. H. Edmunds Of the Manufactur-
ers' Record, Baltimore, as to the views
of the Transmissippi congress on the
su ,ject of the com pletion of the Nicar-
aqua canal, replied:
The subject to which you refer in
your letter was prominently brought
before that body and after full and am
Pile discussion, 1t was resolved that the
construction of the Nicaragua canal
should be undertaken and pushed to
completion at the earliesttime possible;
that its control during construction and
ever afterwards should be maintained
bv this government; that no copartner-
ship in the building or management
should ever be entered into with any
private corporation. Personally, it is
my opinion that said canal would have
been built and in operation under United
States government control long since,
had not experience taught the promo
tiers of private enterprises that copart-
nershlps with the general government
as experienced by the Union and Cen
trail Pacific Railroad companies are
more profitable to the promoters than
any other form of business enterprise
Hence many honorable gentlemen in
both houses of congress who draw sala
ries of $4,000 year for their service.
to their country, and who also draw
salaries ranging from $4,000 upward.
for services rendered their corporation
masters, have invariably thrown obsta
Giles in the way of government owner
ship and control of the enterprise, hop
ing that eventually the "wad of for
tune" might bring something to theii
net ! do not believe that the peopl,
of the United States, if they can hell
it, and ] am sure they can, will eve
allow the Nicaragua canal to fall int,
the hands of either private individual
or foreign government.
