CLASH WITH CANADIAN OFFICIALS
American Fishermen Pursued and Their Nets
Seized

lST. PAUL Mimi, July 10. A Duluth
special to the Pioneer Press says:
A report comes from Cranes Lake of
an encounter between American fisher
men of that place and Canadian officials.
The trouble arose over the Canadians
taking up and contiscating nets set in
Namekon lake. on the ground that they
were placed in Canadian waters. Eight
men belonging to the Arion Fish COM
pany started out IN search of their nets.
when suddenly three boats loaded with
Canadian officials darted out from behind
an island and pursued them. The little
steamer Mayfower. OH her way to Crane
Lake, came along. and Captain Hayes put
on all steam to rescue the fishermen. In
the excitement the Carter struck one of
the Canadian boats, smashing it to pieces
and spilling several officials in to the
lake. Three of the fishermen fell
overheard. but no one was drowned. The
Carter picked up all the fishermen except
II. E. Fencke, Emil Ames and William
Sim, who were captured by the
Canadians ana taken to Fort Francis.

SOVEREIGN WILL BOYCOTT
This Time He Is After the Natiopa
Ranks

This Time He Is After the National
Banks
WASHINGTON, July 19.-The Times
prints the outlines of a manifesto to be
issued by Master Workman Sovereign of
the Knights of Labor for the boycott of
the National banks. 1t will be addressed
to the X. of L., the Farmers Alliance,
the Peoples party Reform club and kin
dred societies, reciting the wrongs of the
toiling thousands and their sufferings at
the hands of the ''money making pow.
ers. and call for boycott of national
bank notes IN all dealings between indi-
viduals. 1t is to go into effect Septem Der
1st.
At the, treasury department it was said
the plan of Mr.. Sovereign of the knights
of Labor boycotting national BANK notes,
if carried out, would prove more harmful
than beneficial to the labor interests Of
the country, as it would contract the cur
rency to the extent OF $211 600, 900, with
out injuring national banks.
"It would not hurt the banks at all,
said Mr.. o. 2. fucker, deputy controller
OF the currency. ''If people should refuse
to receive:their notes, the banks would
simply present them to the United States
treasury for redemption and receive legal
tender notes. which they would continue
to use in their business. There a1e only
$311, 00), 900 of national bank notes in cir
culation, while there are $780, 000, 200 of
other kinds of money ouustan ding"
CHICAGO, July ia special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
Officers OF the treasury, from Secretary
Carlisle down to his subo-dlnates who
have charge of banks and currency, were
today discussing the threatened boycott
by the Knights of Labor against rational
bank notes.
1t was about the only subject talked of,
but after a careful consideration of the
question in all its phases, Secretary Car
isle expressed the opinion 10 one OF his
low such a boycott. His conclusion was
based upon the figures in regard 10 the
circulation OF national bank notes.
The amount of these outstanding June
1. 1895, was only $206, $40. 400. and of this
amount about $50, 600, 900 is held by banks.
National bank notes have never been
made legal tender by statute; it Is true
that it would be impossible to force any
person to accept them in individual trans
actions. They are. however, available Tor
use by the government in the payment OF
all its obligations except for interest on
the pu bic debt and the redemption OF ma
tional currency. They are also receivable
by the government as taxes and excuses
for public lands and for all obligations due
the government except duties on imports
Section 5166 provides that national banks
are compelled to accept these notes as
legal tender.

MURDER MYSTERY ILLUMINATED

One Life Paid the Penalty Long Since by
Judge Lynch
FRANKFORT, Ind, Juyl ia discov-
cry made yesterday of a skeleton of wo-
man in an old. abandoned we'll at Bur-
lington. fifteen miles northeast Of here,
has created a tremendous sensation by
reviving the greatest murder mystery in
he history gof Indiana. The remains
have been identified as those of Miss Lo-
ella Mabbitt, who mysteriously disap-
peared ten years ago, and for whose inur-
der her lover, Omer Green, was lynched.
A bout ten years ago Loella Mabbitt,
daughter of one of the leading citizens of
Carroll county. and herself woman OF
rare beauty and leader of society, left
her home in the evening with her accept
ed lover Omer Green. man of wealth
ana widely known. Sne failed TO return
home, and searching parties were organ
iZed. Green claimed to have let her out
of his buggy at her home and for a few
days appeared distracted with grief, and
led searching parties everywhere. Evil
dence that indicated Green's guilt began
to accumulate. and he suddenly disap-
peared. At bound popular excitement
sprang to a frenzy. 1t became sort of
mania. Almost the entire population of
Clinton, Cass, Howard and Iippecanoe
counties Joined in the search. Houses
were searched generally, whether people
were suspected or net. Cellars and wells
were explored everywhere, and every sus-
picious looking mound of earth was dug
up. The Wabash river was dragged for
fifty miles, but the body of the woman
was not found. In the mean time Pink
ertons bad been employed OH the case.
but after a years hunt gave up finding
either the girls body or the murderer.
Green was finally captured bv the nuted
detective. Buck Stanley. after two years
sc .rch, in Texas, and brought back to
the scene of the supposed crime. He re-
fused to say whether the girl was dead or
alive. He was placed in jail at Delphi.
A few days later fully 20OO men took
him from the jail drove him to the Nab
bitt. house and lynched him. The father
OF the girl. who was very wealthy, spent
all of his possessions following up any
clue, believing his daughter yet alive.
The discovery OF the body in the well
yesterday was made by workmen who
were cleaning it out. it having remained
unused for nearly twenty years.
Green was last seen with the girl less
than mile from the well, which at that
time was covered over with planks and
earth, and but few knew of its existence.
Miss Mabbitt had peculiarly shaped
teeth, nearly all of them being double.
and one of them had a filing of gold
shared almost exactly like heart. This
same filling was found in the teeth of the
skeleton discovered; the teeth were also
double. When a small girl she had three
ribs broken. and evidences of fracture is
plainly dlscernible on three Of the ribs OF
the skeleton.

: The. gray dawn was breaking and the

shadows from the face of the earth when
two young men. N. L. LeverinG and ?.
NJ. Daniel. jr., members of the Herald s
corps Of bioyclists, mounted tandem at
the com posing room. and. after having
several hundred copies of the morning

to break the worlds newspaper men $
record between Los Angeles and the
progressive city OF San Pedro.
Leaving The Herald editorial rooms as
the hands of the court house clock
pointed to 4 20 yesterday morning with a
score of newsboys watching the start, the
team started on their ride by way OF
Central avenue.
The heavy road was reached shortly
after 80 o clock, and half-miie walk
was next in order. Nothing daunted, the
men pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible, and once more were straining their
utmost to deliver the papers to their Gus
toners at an hour earlier than all COM
petitors. After asking a number of
passers-by, and each time getting further
away from their destination, according
to the informant, they concluded to de-
vote their entire wind strictly to the task
in hand and rode on in silence until at
6:1O O clock and within four miles OF San
Pedro the rear tire punctured and the
am bilious young men were compelled to
dismount and gazed at each other in
blank dismay.
After using up their supply of mending
material and thinking that further at
tampts would be useless, they decided to
do the only thing left-to rest.
Twenty minutes later IA rider was seen
slowly making his way with q small
package of papers on his back. His smile
at seeing his opponents tandem damaged
will never be forgotten by The Herald S
Big Two. Shortly after solitay horse
man came riding slowly along. happy
idea struck the cyclists, and as a result
the Heralds were soon on their way to
Wilmington to be expressed to San Pedro
by the first train.
After sending one package by horse
back to San Pedro and the otner by wagon
to Long Beach. the representatives started
to walk to Wilmington, little disfigured
but still in the ling. The future, how
eve, still holds some promise In store for
them, and that promise is one of punctu-
ality and an early delivery of The Herald
