Proposition to Again Pay Chapel
For Doing His Duty.


Before reaching the special order for
the consideration of the Furlong con-
est the house transacted considerable
business yesterday. Representative
Gibbs resolution to have the spe aker
appoint an ole soldier to raise the fla e
was taken from the table and received
ninety votes, or enough to pass it under
the three-fourths rule. The two lead
ing candidates for the place are Mic
Flynn and Joe Burger, both of the Sec
ond ward of ST. Paul. and Speaker Van
SAINT is not happy at the thought of hay
ing TO choose.
Two bills Of a distinctly special nat
ure were introduced. The first was by
Mr.. Foreman, and provides that the
state shall pay j. H. Mullen S15, 500 for
an assignment of his claims against
various LUMBER companies which re-
fused 10 pay Mullen's fees as surveyor
general of logs and lumber at Lake

ton started in the summer of 1894, when
| Gen. Mullen scaled logs in the Lake
| City boom and the lumberinen refused
! to pay the fees. The state militia was

! threatened.
The other bill is by Representative
! Warner. and contains wo0dcbuck of
large dimensions. Section of tbs bill
| provides that for executing the death
! penalty the sheritfs shall receive $500
| above the expenses or the execution.
The woodchuck is found in section 2,
which says:
"Jhe provisions of section of this
! act shall apply in all cases where any
| such sentence has been heretofore exc.
cuted by any sheriff, and no compensa-
ton has been paid him therefor, as well
as IN all cases i'll which any such SEN

Representative Warner is credited
with the laudable design of helping out
his friend and patron, Sheriff Chapel.
who executed the two ST. Paul murder
ers last fall. The genial sheriff made a
good. strong play at the board of county
commissioners, but failed to connect,
and the purpose of the present bill is
supposed TO be to provide direct
means for the sheriff to break even for
working of Ermisch and Wonigkeit.
The following bills were introduced
and referred as stated:

Shot While Trying to Escape.


Monday morning Chief Deputy
Winfrey brought news to this city of
the serious if not fatal wounding of a
man named Lee Scantlin while trying
to escape from himself and Deputy
Haley.
officers Winfrey and Haley had gone
down to the Locke farm near Cross
Lanes, where Scantlin was staying,
with warrants for him ON two charges
one for disturbing the peace and the
other for moving mortgaged property.
They arrived at the place about A. NJ.
and found Scantlin at a Mr.. Hardin 8
and arrested him. Scantlin made no
resistance, and they stayed for break
fast. After breakfast was over they
prepared to return to town with their
prisoner. Scantlin then went to his
coat and took pistol out of the pocket
and handed it to a woman who was in
the room, with instructions to keep it
for him until he came back. She took
it and laid it On shelf and the two had
some conversation until Mr.. Winfrey
who had stepped out of the door, asked
him if he was ready to go. He
answered Eyes, and, turning
grabbed the pistol and leveled it at
Haley, who was still in the room. He
fired, the ball cutting the officer coat
sleeve, and then started for the door
Just then Mr.. Haley fred at him with
a shot gun, but did not stop him, and
as he ran by Officer Winfrey he fired
/ two shots at the latter and then took
refuge behind barn, from where he
fired another shot, none of which how
ever did any damage, and then at the
command of the officers he surrendered,
when it was found that load of buck
shot had struck him in the back, several
penetrating his lungs and also had a
pistol shot wound in his thigh.
The officers left him at the house and
returned to town for medical assistance.
DR.. Lucas went down, as did Sheriff
Wood, Marshal Houck, NJ. l.. Wright
and E. d. Steward. They found him
very seriously injured, with but slight
chance of recovery. The statements
Of all the parties present corroborate the
above and from the talk of Scantlin it is
inferred that he intended to get his
Winchester, which was standing in one
corner, and kill both officers.
We are inclined to think that the
officers will not allow the next man
they arrest so much latitude.
Scautlin is still alive and improving.
