A FLORIDA CURIOSITY.
A HORSE TRAINED BY A HUNTER To
DISCOVER GAME.

A Good story From the Gland of
Flowers but 1t Happens to BE a
True story As "a New York Capital
list Is Ready to VOuch for the In
cident Upon Which 1t Is Based.
Inverness, Fla, Sept. H.-In the Land
of Sun and Flowers there lives an old
veteran of the Florida Indian wars,
known from the waters or Perdido bay to
Key West. His experience is large and
varied. He can entertain you by the
day with adventures with the dusky red
man or dangerous encounters
with panthers and bears or

ally every township in the state, and in
shat capacity claims to have been the
prime factor in placing many settlers
in the alligator State"
Some years ago he was instrumental
in selling a wealthy capitalist large
tracts of land in one of the peninsular
counties. Splendid location and excel
lent soil, as vouched for by him, had
induced the capitalist to become a large
real estate owner in Florida. An in
spection of his newly-acquired property
did not reach the capitalists expecta-
tons. The value of the land, as he view
ed it, was much below what it had been
represented to be. However, he did not
openly censure the lana agent. but con-
Guided he would be more conservative
in future investments, and purchase only
after personal inspection.
The old captain had made good thing
by commissions out or this transaction,
and was on the lookout for Mr.. AS re-
turn in the hope of another seasons
successful business.
The next winter, on the arrival of the
capitalist, the old captain promptly hunt
ed him up, and insisted on adding to his
large possessions by some thousands
more of acres in the 'Peninsular State"
The capitalist had a suspect already, and
was one of those who know when they
have enough.
The old captain was persistent. Mr.
A. In order to get relief, asked him if
he was not a hunter. as well as real es-
tate agent He replied he would like
10 see his equal in four states.
Well, then, L think l can fix matters
for you replied Mr.. "A. friend of
nine is coming here from the north to
hunt in Florida woods, and perhaps
you can combine business and pleasure,
by acting as his guide. He may be in
duced to invest, when you have shown
MN the excellence of the lands you rep
resent, and been fortunate in leading
aim to the best hunting grounds"
The idea pleased the old captain i'm
mensely and it was not long before Mr..
A. brought the captain and Mr.. Van r.
IN contact. The marvellous adventures of
the old captain excited Mr.. Van r., and
speedily an engagement was made for a
protracted hunt.
Mr.. Van r. fitted himself out with a
line Kentucky hunter new saddle, bride
ana other equipments ready for his antici-
pated trip through the woods. BY ar

FARGO, N. D., Dec. 2S-One of the
most startling and ghastly murders
ever heard of occurred few miles
from Buffalo, this state, this after
noon. c. A. Peterson became violent
ly insane and murdered DR.. A. A.
Young, one Of the most prominent and
Well-to-do physicians in the state. Pet
erson lis Well-to-do farmer, and was
always known as a big, .good-natured
man with a kind heart, but Of late he
has not been feeling well, and on sew
eral occasions Dr.. Young was called
to his home, which is about four miles
from Buffalo, to attend him. When
he arrived yesterday Peterson ran to
his wife and told her that she would
have to stand between him and that
man; that he thought the doctor was
giving him poison. He told her to
keep her hand between the two when
he entered the room. She did so. but
when she took her hand away Peter
son was aroused and grabbed an IN
dian club and beat the doctors head
to a pulp. The crazy man leaped out
OF the house and mounted a pony half
clad and barefooted, and drove to
Buffalo. He went to a bank and cried
that wolves were in his sheep The
cashier tried to pacify him, but with
out avail. The murderer beat him on
the head until he fell to the ground
senseless. Several men then drove out
to the farm, thinking that there was
something wrong. They were not de-
ceiVed, for when they reached there
the doctor was lying in the yard in
pool of blood. He had been dead
for some time. The crazy man will
be brought to this city and placed in
the county Jail for safe keeping.
1t is rumored that Petersons hired
man is missing, and many believe him
TO be murdered also. He has not been
seen for several days, and Peterson
is said to have been in a rather down.
hearted mood. Sheriff Barnes, of this
county, received telegram tonight
informing him that he had better come
at once; that already a crew of men is
at work surrounding the farm search
ing for the hired man. Peterson is
feeling much better tonight, and seems
to have regained his sensibility to a
certain extent, and does not realize the
work he has done during his insanity.
He was taken to the depot at Buffalo,
to be brought to Fargo, and was
guarded by a posse of deputies from
the maddened crowd about the depot.
Before being overpowered Peterson
smashed nearly all the windows in
the depot. The excitement has grown
intense, and it is thought that if Peter.
son regains his sanity before morning
his life is in danger. When approached
on the question and told of the awful
crime he smiles innocent smiles, and
says that he knows nothing of it. Cor
oner Salvage is on the scene, and an
inquest will be held tonight or early
in the morning.

CHAMBERLAIN,s GUsHER.
1t Throws Out 1000 Gallons Per
Minute.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Dec. 2S.-The
mammoth new artesian we'll just COM
pleted in this city for the electric light
company is attracting a great deal Of
attention, as it is unquestionably the
greatest artesian we'll in the North
west.
1t is inches in diameter. The depth
of the we'll is $50 feet. For distance
of 80 feet from the top the S-inch pipe
is cased with iron ten inches in diam
eter Much care was taken in sinking
the pipe to prevent the we'll being ruin
ed in the same manner as the famous
mill we'll, which was rendered practi-
cally useless by leakage on the outside
of the pipe. The new we'll at this
writing throws the solid eight-inch
stream of water to a height of twelve
feet above the top of the casing, and
the fact that the water is still muddy
proves that the well has not yet en-
tirely cleared itself, and will continue
increasing in volume for a time. The
flow as to gallons per minute has not
yet accurately been ascertained, but
careful estimates place it at 4,GO0 gal
Ions per minute.

CONJECsTJJRES OF THE CAUSE.

CONJECTURES OF THE CAUSE.
Neither the wife, Hanson, the only
present friend, nor the authorities, are
able to explain whether Thompson is
dying from an attempt at murder, from
justifiable shooting, or from attempt
ed self-deStructiOn. His desire to con-
ceal his condition and his refusal to eX-
plain how he was shot seem to indicate
that he fears the consequences of the
truth being revealed. If he had tried
suicide he might not be willing to her
aid the fact, yet he would have little to
fear. If he was an innocent person at
tackled by another he would be anxious
to tell the truth. 1t has been suggested
that the slanting direction of the wound
shows that Thompson was shot while
seated, and from above, and that he
might have been wounded by a man
whom he had angered at a game of
cards. 1t is also said that, without
money and with a family to support
Thompson might have attempted to
waylay some one on the streets, or that
he might have entered a store or resi-
dence for the purpose of robbery and
been shot in either case by another in
self-defense. 1t is intimated that even
his wife might have shot him in their
room. This suggestion, however, is
secuted by the police. They explain
that Thompson's condition, when going
up stairs, indicated either weakness
from his wounds or intoxication There
was no trace of the latter condition
when DR.. Appleby arrived Then the
wounds only, in all probability, could
have produced the stumbling walk
which attracted the attention of Mrs
Smith down stairs. Besides, Mrs.
Thompson has been living most happily
with her husband Of late, and she is a
nfo I,,oj III \
it is observed that Thompson, might
have been shot outside by some jealous
woman or by the male relative Of some
woman.
ARRESTS MAY FOLLOW.
A vigorous effort was made by the
police in both this city and Minneapo-
lis yesterday to secure any knowledge
that might explain the affair." It is re-
ported,o on the other hand, that impor-
tant arrests will be made today. But
not a patrolman in either city heard
shot fired Friday night, nor were
there any mysterious affrays. @
1t is strange fact that Thompson
was seen at none of the Minneapolis
resorts Friday where he is ordinarily
to be found. Beyond his calls at Han
sons house just before II p. m.f no
trace has been unearthed Of his actions
between and II %. M Thomson
came home without his overcoat and
without the large knife that he is said
to have constantly carried. These cir
cumstances might indicate that he had
been injured inside a house and hur-
riedly removed, that he had been
robbed, or that he had engaged in a
fray. One indication of his having
himself taken an active part against
his assailant was given by the only
explanation so far vouchsafed by
Thompson, when, yesterday afternoon,
he mumbled in his half-conscious
sleep:

WASHINGTON, Dee. 2S.-The house

been sitting during the holiday recess,

Of the debate today were lacking in
spirit, and there was practically no
excitement until the vote was taken.
The margin of thirty-four by which
the first section Of the bill, against
which the Republican opponents Of
the measure masseds their opposition,
was passed showed that the friends
of the measure had marshaled every
available vote in it's favor. AS it was
forty-seven Republicans refused to act
with the majority Of their party. The
Populists and Democrats, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. 5Hutchison; Of Texas,
