The Mandan Wife Murderer
Convicted of the Crime

JURY WAS OUT SEVEN HOURS.
Attorney Nye of Minneapolis
Closed the Case for the
Prosecution.

FARGO, N. D., Aug. S.--After being
ont seven hours and 10 minutes the
jury in the X snt wife murder case re-
turned verdict of guilty and fixed tAs
punishment as death. Attorney Hill
dreth at once stated his intention to
move for new trial. The jury went
out at p. M. and returned at 1l:I0.
Frank Nye of Minneapolis began his
argument during the morning and con-
sumed all the time up to o'clock in
the afternoon. His address is said by
many to be thu best that he has ever
delivered, and it could not but help to
have lasting impression on the jury.
He brought out the motive clearly, and
i'll many ways completely destroyed
the defense. Judge McConnells charge
to the jury was good one for the de-
fense, and yet it was fair and impair
tial. The jury went out at o'clock.
Crowds of people waited outside the
courthouse and intense excitement pre-
vailed until the verdict was returned.
This is the second trial Of the case,

THE ILLINOIS WAR
Reports From Spring Valley

EXCITING MEETINGS." HELD
And Committees Appointed to
Raise Funds to Sc
cure Arms.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Two coloi'ed
women, Mrs. Mary Stanton and Mrs.
Lizzie Dixea, refugees from Spring
Valley, have arrived in this city, and
the reports they give out Of the treat
ment OF the colored people at that
place have inhamed the negroes of
U..l,&go to the h:ghcst p.:ch. IIr,5.
Stanton is widow and since the at.
suck made by the Italians on the col.
ored men at Spring Valley her two
sons have disappeared and she believes
that both were killed. Mrs. Dixee has
heard nothing from her husband since
that time and believes him dead. Both
women say, in spite OF statements to
the contrary from Spring Valley, that
the reports Of the outrages have i'll no
way been exaggerated. They say that
the cOlored women and children were
Assaulted and Brutally Beaten,
and that it is impossible for any col.
Ored woman to walk the streets of the
town without being grossly insulted.
They declare that all the colored
women in Spring Valley have been
given certain length Of time to get
out Of the town, threats Of bodily in-
jury being made against those who re-
NAMED
The mass meeting of colored men re.
convened during the evening in Ar
lington hall at Thirty-frst street and
Indiana avenue. The stories told by
the two women infamed them to the
highest pitch, and all manner of vio-
lent threats were made against the
Italians at Spring Valley. For the
first time during the day the idea to
move on Spring Valley took definite
shape and committees were appointed
to raise funds to secure arms.
AltgeIds Position Don't Suit Them.
There was much excitement at the
afternoon mass meeting when tele-
gram was read from Governor Altgeld
saving that the officials of Spring VAL
ley had not asked for aid and if they
did it would be promptly sent. This
did not suit the cOlored men at all.
They claimed that the governor knew
the local authorities would not call on
him and the excitement grew so in
tense that the most warlike language
was used.
A delegation called on General Mer-
ritt to ask that the United States troops
be sent to Spring Valley. The general
told them that in the event Of the fail
ure of the civil authorities to preserve
order and protect the colored people Of
Spring Valley the fact should be com.
municated to President Cleveland.
