On an Innocent Family.
AFRAID OF BEING LYNCHED
The Murderers Make Haste to Give
Them selves Up-Horribie Trag-
edy in a Little Town i'm
Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS, March ia special to
the Tribune from Carleton, Mimi, says I:
An awful tragedy occurred at McGregor,
about 30 miles west of here, this morning.
4 family named Jeanette. consisting OF n
father. mother and four children, the
oldest 10. the youngest q babe, lived in 4
cabin and kept a small store. Two
Italians, who we're clearing up a home
stead near by, had trouble with Jeanette
over some saw logs, which resulted IN n
quarrel last night. Tho Italians, Nick
and Angelo Cristello, brothers, returned
this morning to renew the quarrel with
Winchesters and shotguns. Nick shot
Jeanette with the shotgun. tearing n large
wound in his side. and Angelo shot Mrs.
Jeanette with the Winchester, tearing the
top of her head Off, killing both instantly.
The children were III bed at the time.
The murderers escaped to the woods.
The cabin presented n sickening sight,
blood and brains being scattered all over
the walls and floor. The children were
shiverIng with terror. About noon the
murderers came to McGregor and said
they were going TO Aiken to give them
selves up, but the local officers held them
until the arrival of the sheriff, who at once
took them TO Aitken to the county jail.
The Jeanettes were much respected
family in the neighborhood, and intense
excitement prevails. The principal rea-
son for the murderers' return was that
they were afraid of being lynched by the
voodsmen in the camps.

CHICAGO, March 1.-Two hundred an
CRY Poles, men and women, stormed St.
Hedwigs Catholic church, at North
Hoyne avenue and koscIusko street to-
day. FIVE policemen who were on duty
were cowed by the mob, but on the ar
rival of reinforcements tho rioters were
driven Off.
There has been trouble in St. Hedwig's
parish for many weeks. Father Barzinski
was driven out, and the police were called
upon to protect the church property.
Father BarzInski belonged to the order o {
Resurrectionists, which the people OBJ
jected TO. Archbishop Feehan sent Father
Zydlaczyk to the church, but he, too, was
a Resurrectionist ami was rejected. The
parishioners determined to oppose the re-
opening of the edifice.
Early this morning 200 Poles marched to
the church, denouncing the priest and
declaring that they would prevent him
from celebrating mass. In n few minutes
two patrol wagons loaded with officers ar
rived on the run. The crowd stood for a
moment, when 40 policemen, with glitter
ing guns i'm their hands, marched into the
church. Some of the Polish officers in
formed the mob in their native tongue
that the police had orders TO shoot. That
settled it, aud a moment later the crowd
fed from the church. The police arrested
Josie Tawondowski aud her son Antoine,
who seemed to be the ringleaders. A
search is being made for the woman's
husband. The priest celebrated mass un-
der the guard of detail of police.
OMAHA, March l5.-The inhabitants of
the suburbs of Sheely we're IN the police
court interested IN the trial of the church
rioters. After some preliminary work,
the court adjourned until morning. This
afternoon n new complaint was sworn out

with intent to kill. The complainant is
John Kosz,ki, one of the men who was
struck by one of the bullets from Kar-
minsk's gun.

An Important SUIT Decided in Helena
Yesterday.
Special Dispatch to the standard
HELENA. March 15.-The jury in the
Norris damage case against this city re-
turned verdict to-day, awarding $6,50O
damages to the p.ainuH. The case was
on trial seven days.
This case grew out of an accident which
befel Willie Morris, the 14-year-old son of
Architect w. f. Norris, of 175 Lyndale
avenue, just one year ago this month. At
that time the city was grading the street
and a great deal of blasting was neces-
sary. The work was in charge of the
then street commissioner. Joseph Kountz.
One day as Willie Norris was standing at
his fathers back gate, rock from a blast
fired several hundred feet away on the
avenue, struck him squarely on the
head. The lads injuries proved
very serious and for weeks it was thought
he would die. After many weeks of al
ness he paitially recovered his strength.
but the injury to his brain left him weak
mentally. The lad has had all possible
medical care and attention, but he is
steadily approaching a state of idiocy. lie
was formerly very bright child mentally
and physically, but is now just the re-
verse.
The father of the unfortunate lad
brought suit against the city for $4,000
damages alleged TO have been sustained
by himself and son through the alleged
carelessness and negligence of the city.
He claimed that the blast which so seri-
ously injured his boy had not been COW
cred and that people in the neiGhborhood
had not been warned 'or properly pro-
tccted.
The case came up last December in
Judge Bucks court. 1t was nearly COM
pleted when it had to be continued be-
cause of the illness of a juror, w. W.
Brown, prominent citizen, who died
shortly afterwards. The suit was trans
ferred TO Judge Blake's department and
commenced again last Thursday. 1t has
been hotly contested by both sides, much
evidence having been introduced by the
plaintiff.

ALL is WELL IN .HE LEvEEs.

ALL - WELL CN LIE LENEEos =
The Day Was Quiet and the Negroes
Went to Work
New ORLEANS, March 15.-The negroes
went to work on the upper levees at :
o'clock under military protection. If the
small squads OF soldiers leaning against
cotton bales or basking in the morning
sunshine on top of freight piles had been
missing from the levee front this morn
ing, no one would have known that New
Orleans was at the present time passing
through one of the greatest labor crisises
it ever had to deal with. The scene along
the levee to-day is one of bustlIng activity.
Nearly every ship in port which came to
receive cargoes of cotton are now loaded
1t is not known that work is at a stand
sui on any vessel. Those ships which
are handled by stevedores employing col
ored labor, which brought about the trou-
BILE last Tuesday, are being loaded as fast
as men and machines can store cotton
bales in their huge hulls. The darkles
have no fear now.
The people went to bed last night with
n feeling of dread that before the niyht
had passed something unusual would oc-
cur. What they dreaded most was fire.
Many we're under the impression that the
strikers would apply the torch. The riot
ers renamed away from the levee and
the night passed off without an exciting
incident
The troops detailed on the upper levee
reached their destination at : o'clock.
As soon as they reached the various ships
the negroes started into the work. \ few
white screwmen hung around the scene,
but were kept AZ a distance by the pres
ence of troops. Governor Foster stated
this morning that he would keep the mill
tary on the river until ali signs of danger
bad passed away. lie did not ant cIpate
any more riotiuE.

NEW YORK, March 15-To-day judg-
mcnt was reversed and a new trial ordered
in the case of the people against Erastus
Wimau. The decision was handed down
IN the general term of the supreme court
this afternoon. The action practically
alIirms the position taken 10y Justice Bar
rett IN granting n certificate of reason
able doubt, that Judge Ingraham erred in
refusing to charge the jury as to W.T.
mans criminal intent when he commit
ted the forgeries, for which he was
indicted, and of which he was foun d
guilty. The court holds that Wiman. as
n partner in II. &. Dun q Co., had the
right to sign the checks, but whether he
exercised the right 10y express or implied
authority is Imm ,teral, so far as it affects
the crime with which he is charged. lie
was not called upon 10 answer for having
made the checks but for endorsing Bull
lingcr's name on il with intent
to defriud. If, therefore, he had made
the check to Bullinger's order,
having originally intended to
deliver II to him and subsequently hav-
ing, with intent to defraud, changed his
mind, and endorsed the check, he would
be guilty of the crime OF forgery as though
nc had made the check with the original
intention of frau'luently obtaining the
money. Tho intent with which the act
was done was an essential ingredient OF
the crime and being a question of fact
and not law, should have been subnItted
to the jury.
