ST., Paul, April 17.-Last evening at

father, Hiram w.. Dickman. The shoot
ing occurred: in the apartments occu-
pied by the. Dickman family over II. Z.
Dickman's, drug store,. No. $50 Farquier
street street, corner Of, East Seventh.
A tale of depravity, it, seems, surrounds
the affair. The young man claims that
he attempted to. kill his father because
he had learned that his parent had been
;;uilty of wronging two of his sisters.
Hira m W.. Dickman, the wounded man,
is forty-fve years old and has been mar
ried twice. His first wife has been dead
ten years and his second wife, Eliza
Roettgering, left him three years ago, for
the self-same cause, she alleges, that
prompted his young son to attempt his
parents life. On being separated from
his Sc cond wife Dickman went to live
with his son, H. e. Dickman. The chill
drcn, four sons and three daughters,
lived with the father over the drug store.
One year ago Hanna Diekman, the ED
es daughter, suddenly left her home
without giving any reason for her action.
A year previous Harry, the young man
who did the shooting, left home and
worked until last Christmas on a farm in
Dakota county. He remained at home
but short time, and worked during Jan
uary, February and March last on the
West side, returning home three weeks
ago. 1t appears that the lad had enter
tanned an idea for number Of years that
his father had wronged his sisters but
he was not positive of the fact until
yesterday when he intercepted a letter
written by one of the girls to her sister,
which seemed to convince him that his

wife was suing the husband for divorce,

evidence that there was too much mother

to withdraw from the court room the
judge followed them and advised them to
make up, as it was evident each party
was to blame. So eloquently did tho
judge talk Of the corrtship and honey
Don that the couple literally kissed and
made up, driving off, to all appearances,
perfectly reconciled. The judges action
was particularly commended by the
neighbors Of the couple, who were more

st. Paul, April lit was blank
cartridge, and that was what saved the
life of Nellie, the fifteen-year-old daugh-
ter of William A. Peterson, of 7O3 Lau-
rel avenue, this morning. It is claimed
at the house that the shooting was the
result of an accident, but it is more
probable that Nellie's mind was tenn
porarily unhinged by illness, and she
shot herself. 1t occurred at $50 this
morning, and created quite a sensation
i'll the neighEorhood. Lying on the table
in the young girls, room was a revolver
containing only two blank cartridges, but
whether she knew this or not is not
known, but in any case she pointed the
weapon at her right temple and pulled
the trigger. The wadding of the blank
cartridge made an ugly wound in her
head, but when DR.. Pine examined it he
assured the family there was no danger
and that she would rapidly recover.

Minneapolis, April 17.-Chauncey Il.
Brown, police officer No. 1872, Can tell
ar interesting story based upon his e1-
perierce in Moulton Park last night if
he wants to. 1t is possible that the Of
icer will not voluntarily enter into dis
cussion of the case, but the pointer con-
ta.ned in this article will make it easy
to draw him out. He was ''held up at
the end of a, revolver, after the most
approved fashion, and while the highway
men got nothing for their pains, they
probably feel more than satisfied that
they caught a. policeman mapping. A
short time ago grocery store in North
east Minneapolis was burglarized and a
part of the plumber was found in Moul~
ton Park. Last night a company of
young men started to search the park 4
second time, thinking that more of the
missing property would be turned up,
and asked Brown, who lives hear by, to
help them. The officer consented, and in
citizens clothes, revolver and club at
home, joined the searchers. While the
young men were on the opposite side OF
the grounds from Brown the trouble
came. He was approached by a couple
of strangers, who presented revolvers,
''frisked" his pockets and marched him
ahead of them nearly across the en-
closure. When the party of searchers
was sighted the marauders took to their
heels and escaped. A long search was
made for them, but without results.

AN OHIO LYNCHING.
A Negro Rapist Strung Up by n Mob
of Citizens.


of Citizens.
Cleveland, April 16-Seymour Newlin,
a negro with bad reputation, com
mltted criminal assault last night upon
an aged woman named Mrs. Knowles,
living at Rushsylvania, Logan county,
Ohio. He was captured this morning,
but when the sheriff arrived from Belle
fontaine to take charge of the prisoner.
a mob which had collected, refused to
give him up. The sheriff summoned a
posse, but still the mob would not yield.
A call was then made upon the militia
and company left Bellefontaine for
the scene of the trouble. When they
arrived the citizens said that if the
troops returned home the prisoner would
&c protected, but if an attempt was made
to take him away blood would be shed.
The troops then left, and half an hour
later the fellow was taken out and
lynched.
