FAKE, PURE AND SIMPLE.
Crawford Livingston FIatIy De-
nies u BaseIess Story,

So palpable a fake has seldom been
sprung on patient public as that
which was put forth yesterday by a.
St Paul evening paper as a bona fide
sensational explanation of a new turn
in the Hill-Northern Pacific deal.
Taking the picture of a prominent
gentleman, known to be very friendly
with Mr.. HILL and a heavy owner Of
Northern Pacific securities, the fertiIa
brain of the fakir built a story that is
truly wonderful, in the respect that il
is utterly deviod of truth, lacks even
on excuse for it's appearance, and has
no more basis, in fact, than the dizzy
delusion of drunken dream. Taken
in detail, from the opening to the close,
the article is pure bosh, or the lamest
kind Of a rehash of already exploded
theories. In it's main point, the sensa-
ton so-called, there is a hollOwnesS
that was quickly exposed.
When interviewed by a G b e re-
porter last evening concerning an al
legged deal by which he was to become
the nominal head of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, if J. J. Hill secures con-
troll of the property, Crawford Living
ston said: 81 cannot imagine what
basis, if any, there is for such a state-
bilities, and not warranted by any
facts of which 1 have knowledge. II
is true that 1 am a holder-in fact, a
large holder-of Northern Pacific sea
curities; and in common with every
other man in the Northwest who
knows Mr.. Hills great capacity foL
management, I should be pleased to
see him interested in the Northern Pa<
cific properties. But the proposition
that shall assume any sort of official
position in the reorganization has
never been broached or suggested by
Mr.. Hill, and has never been thought
of by me. For some time back I have
been urging on him the advisability OF
taking an interest in Northern Pacific
affairs, because his sagacity and abil-
ity would make my property more
valuable. Mr.. Hill has never engaged
in speculation, nor has he ever tried
to tear down and destroy. For these
reasons I feel that the people of St
Paul, and of the Northwest, would b(
pleased to know that he was devotfng
himself to the strengthening and ups
building of the Northern Pacific. ]
do not believe that there will be an1
consolidation of the two roads, as haf
been intimated. Beyond a natural inf
terest in seeing so able man directe
ing the affairs of such valuable rail-
road, am not, and do not expect to be,
connected with the affair.""

Whitman's Eloquent Plea for. q
New Trial.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA. ].
Whitman, ex-banker of Duluth, Mimi.
eX-mayor of Duluth, eX-member of the
Minnesota legislature, and recently
convicted of forgery, made a personas
address today in the superior court in
support of his own motion for new
trial The charge against Whitman
was that he had victimized several
friends in San Francisco by means
of a forged check drawn by Frank
Dixon upon a. New York bank. ALI
through the trial Whitman insisted
that there was such person as Dixon,
although he could not be found. Now
it is stated Dixon has been found
Whitman, by permission of the court,
made an eloquent address, recalling
his social and political prominence and
his efforts to find Dixon. He begged
the court not to permanently put the
brand of felony upon a man who had
not been legally convicted of crime.
Judge Wallace continued the further
hearing of the motion for two weeks,
instructing the special counsel for the
prosecution in the meantime to ascer-
tain whether or not Whitman's story
is true. The court stated that if there
is really such a person as Dixon, and
if he signed the check and sent it to
the defendant, Whitman could have. a
new trial,

Residents of Beaver Island May
Have Perished in the Flames.
MARINETTE, Wis, Aug. Capt.
Young, of the steamer Cuba, which
arrived here today, reported that
Beaver island is all afire. The island
is populated by a colony of about 100
persons, who are engaged in farming.
Other lake captains say the whole
island has been laid waste and that the
inhabitants are homeless and without
food. The island occupies a prominent
place in the history of this part of the
country, it having been in the early
fiftieS the home of King Strang, a
Mormon, who had many fights and
was finally killed and his band of
followers scattered. Beaver island is
on the lower end of Lake Michigan,
near the straits of Mackinaw, and is
about fifty miles from the mainland.
There are two settlements on the main
island, known as st. James and Gillette.

Bayard, United States ambassador,
distributed the prizes at the grammar

he was given a banquet. Mr.. Galfie,

Cleveland, to which Mr.. Bayard re-

nifty, but one of responsibility and
anxiety. The president stood in the
midst of self-confident and oftentimes
violent people, and it took a man
such as Mr.. Cleveland to govern them.

SIOUX CITY, Aug. "A new ground
has been discovered upon which di-
vorce may be granted in South Dakota.
Dr. L. C. Smith, of Armour, has just
secured a decree on his representa- ton
that his wife, Nellie M. Smith, is a

since their marriage she has made his

some occasions, the doctor averred, as
to wake him UP in the middle of the

to this, he remarks, incidentally, that

done, except in Delta and Schoolcraft
counties, but the exceedingly dry
weather favors the spread of fires, and
high winds would be the signal for the
sweeping of the flames through forests

to danger to standing timber there are

CAUGHT A KlDNAPER.
One of the Men Who Stole Lawyer
COttle.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 2.-George
Allen, one of the men who kidnapped
Lawyer o. o. Cottle, for ransom,
months ago, was arrested at the Man.
sion house today. He retained Hugh
Pentecost, the one-time preacher. for
his attorney. Pentecost asserts that
Cottle swindled Emery, the other
kidnaper, out of $1,000, and that Carl
ton Strong, a prominent Buffalo archi-
tect and a. brother of Emery's, had also
swindled Emery, who is living under
an assumed name. The amount Sc
cured by Cottle is alleged to have been
given him him to secure a. pardon for
Emery, who was a fugitive from Gin
cinnati justice, and 1t is charged that
the lawyer appropriated the money to
his own uses. Being unable to get sat
isfaction from his lawyers or his broth
er, Emery conceived the idea of fore
ing the matter to public attention in
the unique manner afterwards carried
out. Allen has been connected with
Emery intimately for years. Both he
and his counsel sany that he came to
Buffalo with the express purpose of
forcing Cottle and Carlton Strong to
either hand over the money or take
@the steps which they have taken in
caaBing his arrest.

PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 2.-While the
crop prospects of early summer were,
as usual, cut down by the dry weather
of the later summer, South Dakota
will in spite of that, harvest her great
est crop for years.
To get a correct estimate of acre
age devoted to different crops is not
possible, as neither the assessors re-
turns nor the census give any figures,
and returns can only be based on es-
Inmates of those who have travelled
over the state, and have a personal
interest in the returns on any one
crop.
On this basis the wheat crop is
placed at 2,400, 600 acres, and the yield
at about IL bushels per acre, or a
total of from 2S, 900, 900 to 1000, 900 bush
els. This estimate was made before
threshers got to work and on basis
of Is to IS bushels per acre in the
southern and eastern counties. But
since the actual test is being made the
yield in that section is going beyond
the average, some fields threshing out
as high as 80 bushels per acre, while
from 20 to % bushels is common. This
may bring the total up to 30, 5,000, 600
bushels, while there was not over
1000, 600 or 100000 bushels raised last
year. The yield will be cut in the
northeastern part of the state, where
the prospects were good, by a heavy
hail storm which destroyed 10000 acres.
Some smut is reported in the eastern
part of the state, but not enough to
do any great damage.
The acreage devoted to the oat crop
is probably about the same as in
former years, or 100000 acres, and the
yield is reported far above the aver
ages bushels per acre. Wherever
the crop has been threshed some fields
go as high as so bushels per acre, in
the southeastern part of the state,
where all crops are the heaviest. The
average this year may be safely put
at 80 bushels per acre, or total yield
for the state of 25,0O0,OOO to 100000
bushels.
The barley crop is reported to fall
light and chaffy, the fields looking
well, but not shelling out when put
I to the machine test.
The corn acreage has been largely
increased over past years, and this
year probably a million and a quarter
acres have been devoted to that crop.
The average yield for the state is put
at about q bushels per acre, the south
ern counties going above that, but
it is not a sure crop in the northern
counties, and this cuts the average.
But the total yield will probably be
between 26,000,000 and 80 0,000,000 bush
els
