CLEvELANDS NAME FORGED.


CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Captain Porter, OF the
United States secret service, to-day arrested
Captain George w. Streeter, Charles A. Ap-
plegate. William H. Cox and Jacob Nine
on a charge of forging a government patent
to a tract of made land on the shore Of
Lake Michigan. The arrests were made at
the instigation of George Z. Detwiler, who
claims to nave discovered that the sigma
lures to the patent Of President Cleveland,
Secretary Hoke Smith and s. w. Lame
reaux, acknowledgement of the land Office,
are forgeries. The four men have been re-
leased on bail.
The arrest grew out of a fight that has
ragged for some time for the possession OF
15 acres of made land, worth SIS. 600, 900 to
$40, 0O0, 600, which is claimed by Captain
Streeter and other squatters on the one
hand and on the other by the property own
ers along the original shore line. The for
NAL complaint, made by Captain Porter,
states that he. has good reason to believe
and does believe that the four defend
ants did falsely, un,awfully ana feloniously
make, forge, counterfeit and alter certain
letters patent, purporting to be granted by
the President Of the United States TO GER
tain lands. etc. At the preliminary hear
ing this afternoon Detwiler testified that
he had received the alleged patent from
Streeter for the purpose of making an abb
stract. of title, and that after he had done
so and returned it to Streeter, he suspected
that 1t was not genuine. Acting upon sus-
plcion he again secured possession Of the
document and forwarded ii to Washington.
The witness said further that when he told
Streeter the paper was a forgery, Streeter
said Cox and Nine did 1t, and when he
spoke to Cox about 1t, Cox said Streeter
did 1t. and that he begged Streeter to have
nothing to do with 1t. Detwiler testified
that Applegate had said the patent was
written in three kinds of ink, and that he
had advised them to throw away the inks.

LUNATIC MURDERED.
Two Insane Asylum Attendants
Charged with the Crime.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-George Cough and j.
b. Anderson, attendants at the insane asy-
lum at Dunning, are locked up tonight,
charged with the murder OF George Budi-
zick, a patient at the asylum. Budizick Mas
an Australian, thirty-six years old. and a
very violent maniac. He was confined first
In the Alexian Brothers Hospital. and
from there was taken to the Cunning asy-
lun on Thursday afternoon. AT the asylum
he was received by Henry Parrot, the bath
room attends mt, who gave him in charge to
Cough and Anderson. On Thursday night
Budizick seemed in excellent health, AID
this morning he was found dead in bed.
The attending physician at the asylum.
suspecting something wrong, examined the
body and found that the flesh all over the
chest was badly beaten and bruised: In
addition to this. there was a bad cut
In the forehead. He at once sent for the
coroner and on the arrival of Deputy Cor
oner O'Brien that official, after looking at
sne oody; DECIDED to call in the county ply
slight examination and then declared that
the man had been beaten to DEATH, saying
must have been occasioned by a sledge
hammer further examination showed
that Budizick had been literally
to death. Every rib in his body was broken,
nearly all of them in two places. and sew
eral OF them were fractured four times.
The breast bone was broken in two places,
the ABDOMEN bore marks or heavy blows,
several of which had inflicted injuries upon
the intestines sufficient In themselves to
have caused death. In several places on
the chest and side the blows had been dealt
go v~iciously that the flesh was literally torn
from the bone and was hanging in loose
Shreds.
Superintendent Morgan. after the cor
oner's jury had rendered a verdict to the
effect that Budizick had been pounded TO
death by unknown people. picked out
Cough and Anderson as the two men likely
10 be guilty of the crime, they having had
charge of the ward during the night. He
took them into his private Office and they
at first denied any knowledge of how
the man came to his death, but finally adj
mitted that they had assaulted him.
They said that he was violent and that
when they attempted to restrain him
he had assaulted them with his
fists. Budizick being a very powerful man.
they said they were afraid OF him, and, in
order to protect themselves. had assaulted
him with their fists. When asked how they
could inflict such terrible injuries with their
hands, they had nothing TO say, simply in
sisting that they had struck him with moth
ing but their clenched hands. DR.. Mitchell
and Deputy Coroner O'Brien declare the
case to be one of the worst they have ever
heard of. and without exception, the most
brutal affair that ever occurred In any
aSyIJm in Illinois.
