swamp Lands.

Col. Platt B. Walker. attorney for the
state in the swamp lsnd cases before
the interior departments at Washington,
recently returned to Minneapolis. Col.
Walker was appointed to represent the
state on account of his long experience
and his thorough knowledge of land
matters and the points at issue in the
cases now before the secretary of the
interior. He has been successful in Sc
curing the reopening of the cases,
which isa partial victory. Col. Walker
says that he realizes that long fight
has been begun in the reopening of the
cases. 1t involves $5O,OOO,OO0 and is
quite an important matter for the state.
Col. Walker does not anticipate that
the secretary will repudiate the law OF
1860, under which Minnesota is enti-
tied to all the swamp lands within her
borders. He will visit the lands in dis,
pute personally and examine the
ground that is involved in the issue.

The boat was steamed up, several
Indians were stationed in the river be-
low the falls with lot of ropes, boats
and canoes to avoid any accident to the
two men. But at the last moment the
engineer, Knapp, deemed prudence the
better part of valor, and decided not to
make the perilous trip, So the captain
fixed q wire running from the pilot
house to the engine room and attached
It to the steam throttle SO he could shut
off steam when desired. Then casting
of. lines and pulling the throttle wide
open, with full head Of steam on, he
#steered into the current leading to the
rapids above the falls which is confined
IN a narrow gorge, and where the
water runs with fearful current.
In making the run above the falls,
the steamer struck three times on hid
den rocks, one of which knocked hole
in her stern that caused her to leak so
badly, that if the job of getting her
over had not been done so quickly, she
would have sunk. AS it was they only
had time to get her grounded at the
landing. On the brow of the falls she
struck a rock that shifted her rudder.
The staunchness Of her build also saved
her from destruction. In making the
plunge over the falls, the boat did not

MURDEROUS FRENZY.
Dashed Fills Young Wffe's Throat,

WORCESTER. Mass, Aug 10, 1856
Samuel S. Prescott, twenty-seven years
of age, attempted to kill his wife and
then took his own life at their tenement,
No. SO High street, about five o'clock
this morning. He had been respondent
for some time and it is supposed that
~melancholia resulted. At any rate, the
man must have been insane. The mother
in-law. Mrs. Charles Comstock, of Up
ton, was at the house with the daughter.
She was awakened by a terrible noise
coming from the room where Mr.. and
Sars. Prescott were. Rushing in she found
the young woman, who is but twenty
one, struggling beneath the bedclotheS,
while the man was half sitting up in
bed with a fixed expression in his eyes.
He did not answer her when addressed.
The coverings of the bed were soake
with blood. Mrs. Comstock thought the
girl was in a spasm, to which attacks
she had been subject, and called in Mrs.
Barker. a neighbor. Then Prescott arose
from his bed. displaying a cash in his
neck.
Mrs. Harker cried to him:-"Blanche
has a great cut in her neck" as she
pulled way the bedclothes.
Yes, so have T." he answered as he
left the room Soon afterwards a pistol
shot was heard and he was found gasp
ing on the floor. He died an hour
later at the City Hospital. His wife's
head was gashed in many places and
her throat cut, but she will probably re-
cover. In the bed were found a new
pocket knife and a Ratchet. 1t is
thought that the man first attempted
his murderous assault with the Ratchet
and his victim wrested it from him. Their
he used the knife. Mrs. Prescott will
soon be a mother. They had been mar
ried about three years. Prescott was
born and brought up in Ellensburg, n.
Y, where his father was for a long time
Postmaster. He has had various employ
