A SERIOUS CHARGE
MINNEAPOLIS HAS ANOTHER 'NsoH'
20 ANCE MURDER CASE.

Mrs. Laura Perkins Accused u A>s
Her slater. who Carried Heavy 1nsur'
.nce-Hor Death Caused by FIR" Oe-
,,..ad to Have Been Accidental.
y MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 24-Mrs. Laura
Perkins. charged with the murder OF
her twin sister Lola. was arraigned IN
the police court during the afternoon
and remanded without bail to appear
Thursday next for preliminary near
Inc. Mrs. Hawkins, the dead woman
expired on the morning OF Aug. 91rom
injuries supposed to have been received
by the accidental explosion OF lamp
The recent developments in the case
and the arrest of Mrs. Perkins nave
caused a sensation in this city second
onlv to the murder of Catherine Cling,
and the motive for the crime is SAID 20
have been the same in both cases.
Mrs. Hawkins carried 1000 insurance
on her life, and her sister, Mrs. Per'
kins. now under arrest, was the sole
beneficiary.
Was Supposed to BE Accidental.
At the time Of the occurrence every
one supposed it to have been accidental,
and no one for minute ever thought
that the sister, still alive and WIDOW
who resides with her one child, was
capable of the terrible act OF which she
now stands accused.
Sunerintendent of Police Smith, how
ever. looked into the case slightly and
finally consulted with County Attorney
Nve. and, as a result Of their investl'
cations, Inspectors Lawrence and hoy
were detailed to work on the case, and
the insurance companies, too, asked TO
do some investigating before paying
the 81 900 insurance. they sent tne1r
two medical inspectors to this Guy,
and since that time work has been 60
ing on night and day on the case, with
the result that Mrs. Perkins was ar
rested on the terrible charge.
Two Lamp Explosions.
Mrs. Hawkins, the deceased. was
injured on two different occasions
by lamp explosions. The first al
legged explosion simply burned ner
hands in quite a serious manner. Inc
occasion of the second alleged lamp ex'
plosion of Aug. 9 is the one about
which interest entirely centers.
The theory of the state is that while
the deceased slept, Mrs. Perkins satu'
rated her sisters clothing with kero-
sene oil and set fire to it with matches;
that then she, herself, upset the lighted
lamp on the stand to add credibility to
the story that Mrs. Hawkins had acct
dentally overturned it in her sleep.
The flames at once
developed tho Sleeping Woman
and Mrs. Perkins screamed for help.
No effort was made by Mrs. Perkins to
put out the flames and it was not until
the arrival of neighbors that anything
was done. Then help was too late to
be of any service to Mrs. Hawkins.
She was burned almost to a crisp.
a Public sympathy is strongly with the
arrested woman, and many believe that
the authorities and insurance detec-
tives have been too hasty and have
worked terrible and irreparable in
jury. Others in position to form
clearer opinion do not for moment be-
lieve County Attorney Nye would issue
the warrant did he not have at his
hand almost certain evidence Of the
charge which he has made.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 27.-But little that

Flesh Food,


The late Frank auckland, the nat
uralist, maintained that all flesh
was eatable. He sought to give proof
of this statement bytasting the meat
Of oil the animals, reptiles and birds
which he encountered in his career.
He found the flesh of the rattlesnake
delicate and succulent. That of the
blacksnake was not so good. Lizards
were unexceptionable, while panther
chops were not equal to those of pork,
with which they had an affinity
The finest eating was furnished by
elephants feet baked in a hole in the
ground, according to the mode in
vogue in Africa
In New Zealand, where grasshop-
pers are more than abundant, they
are used for food by Europeans. This
may suggest to the people of Kansas
and adjacent states an agreeable
change in the monotonous diet to
which they are accustomed. Grass
hoppers are pronounced a great deli
cacy in New Zealand when prepared
according to the following formula:
One bushel of the insects is immersed
for two hours in one-half gallon of
pork brine. The insects are then
boiled in the liquid for 20 minutes;
then thoroughly rinsed in warm wa
ter and placed in an oven to become
crisp. When cold, the heads are re-
moved, and they are ready to be
eaten. The flavor is said to resem-
