BOONE, Ia, March 12.-Between 3
and O'clock Saturday morning the POI
lice were notified that row was going
On at the Chicago & Northwestern rail
mill, in the eastern part of the city,
and help was asked to quell the dis
turbance, which was almost a
riot. The rail mill has long been
a resort for tramps, who would
congregate there and spend the
night. Friday fifteen or twenty gath
cred and when night came they got
couple of gallons Of alcohol and held
drunken carouse. Charles Elliott, the
night foreman of the mill, was struck
over the head when he tried to protect
the company's property and knocked
senseless The tramps drove off the
railroad men and the police were called
upon for assistance.
The three policemen on night duty
attempted to arrest the fellows. The
tramps attacked the officers and the
latter drew their revolvers. Officer
Campbell, who was at the door
of the engine-room, was attacked
by the tramps in their efforts
to escape, and he shot one through
the heart, killing him instantly,
another through the back, wounding
him SO seriously that it is believed he
will die, and a third through the hand.
Coroner Clark was notified and held an
inquest over the dead man, County At
torney Holmes conducting the ex-
animation. After closely investigat-
ing the case, the jury brought in YER
dict OF justi6able shooting, and Officer

A Bank
Failure.
AN INVESTIGATION
DEr1ANDED.

A general banking business is done by
the human system, because the blood de-
posts IN its vaults whatever wealth we NAV
gain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against a rainy day - as reserve fund
we re in condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon i'll the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger i'll getting thin, because it's
sign of letting down i'll health. To gain
III blood is nearly always to gain III zViole-
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
If our liver be inactive and Our blood i'm
pure, or if our flesh be reduced 6eloaU a
heaik!y standard. What is required is an
increase in DIR germ fetfi ag strength. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood aud makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue aud at the same time
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood ofits poisons, cleanse and
invigorate tue great orgaus of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of 1t, IS surely a remedy of great value. But
when we make q positive statement that o3
per cent. of all cases ofconsuhption can, il

a bold assertion. All DR.. Pierce asks is that
you make thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth Of lbs assertion.

1.-THE murdered " onan.l

as the word guilty" was pronounced,
but it was only to adjust his
collar band. He did not change color
by single shade. Then, looking
around at the crowd. he raised his eye
brows inquiriugly. During the polling
of the jury he listened to the answers
but the expression in his face was one
of indignation rather than any other
sentiment.
Monday, April Is, has been set as the
date of the trial OF Claus Blixt. It is
learned from good authority that Judge
Pond will hear the case in accordance
with an agreement between the judges.
M1NNEAPo11s,M Mimi, March 1.-Two
Of the most important witnesses for the
defense in the Hayward case were on
Friday night arrested for perjury upon
complaints sworn out by r. r. O'Dell,
attorney for c. A. Blixt, the real muir
derer. While the warrants We're issued
at the instance of O'Dell, it is the pre-
vailing opinion that he is acting in ac-
cord with an agreement with the
states attorneys Office.
The witnesses arrested are G. A.
Grindall and Miss Maggie Wachter,
formerly stenographer in the employ
of Blixt's attorney. The testimony
upon which the warrant for Grin
dali is based is that relative to
the mysterious third man" Grin
dali declared positively that on the
night of the murder he saw man en-
ter the buggy which Miss Cling was
driving, near the West hotel. His tes-
timony was uncorroborated, while
number of other witnesses said he was
a mile or more away from the West
hotel at the time specified.
Miss Wachter's testimony was in;re
gard to a statement claimed to have
been made by Blixt to his attorney to
the effect that Adry Hayward had in
stigated the murder and that the two
had planned to throw the crime upon
Harry should they be arrested for it.
Miss Wachter had testified that -Blixt
had made the statement that Adry was
the instigator of the murder, and had
been severely chided for so doing.
The arrests were totally unexpected,
and Miss Wachter and Grindall were
locked up in the Central police station
early Friday evening. Several other
witnesses are said to be on the states
list, but some of them are known to
have left town.

AMERICAS PROTEST.

France Hears from Uncle Sam Regarding
Prohibition OF Beef@Imports.
LONDON, March 9.-The Times CORE
spondent in Paris say: Mr.. Eustis, the
United States ambassador, has pre-
sented an energetic protest against the
order prohibiting imports of American
beef. He affirmed that not a single
case of disease had been noted either
when the cattle were embarked or
landed in France. The United States
thinks the prohibition is a purely, pro-
tective measure, and the question of
disease was raised because it alone
would justify the prohibition. b

LATER NEWS
To He Hung.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 1.-THE sem
tence Of death has been given to Harry
Hayward for the murder of Catherine
Cling. It was pronounced by Judge
Smith this morning.
Harry Hayward sat beside Attorney
Erwin, his wan face telling of the fe,,r-
full vigil of the night just passed; of TIE
dreadful watch for the dawn when the
words of death should seal all but the
last chapter Of his life.
At 1890 Judge Smith arose and mo-
toned that the defendant be brought
before him.
'Have you anything to say" asked
the judge, "why sentence should not
now be pronounced?
Hayward cleared his throat and with
effort replied:
Nothing, sir, except that am inno-
cent in spite of the twelve jurors"
Judge Smith then began his sentences:
1T is the most painful duty that ever
devolved upon me-" said he, ito pro-
nounce the sentence of law upon you 1t
this time. You have had in my iudg-
ment fair trial. You have been as
sisted in the defense by remarkable
legal talent.
"The jury has been carefully guarded
and kept from the public; so that there
was no possible chance that they should
have been contaminated. l instructed
them not to discuss among themselves
the guilt or innocence, or the testimony
in the case of the final charge, ana /.
am confident that they obeyed the or
der Of the court. They were 10 men
carefully chosen and Of upright hon.
esty, and they have had, each one in
his own mind, independent of the Others,
an opinion that yon are guilty. In the
judgment of this court. this was a con-
scientious verdict of this jury. Al
though am not favorable to capital
punishment, as told the jury in
charge, am not responsible for il. I
am here to obey the law in reference
to it.
ut is with feelings that wish
could avoid, that pronounce this sem
tence. It is ordered that you, Harry
T. Hayward, have punishment for MUIR
der in the first degree, Of which you
have been convicted, be taken from
here to the county jail, and after the
lapse of q period of three calendar
months from this day shall thereafter
be taken to . place of execution fixed
by the governor of Minnesota and at
time in his warrant set, and hanged by
the neck until you are dead
Hayward sat down unmoved and was
Immediately taken back to jail.

Negro Exoeius.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March IA spe-
cial from Eutaw, Ala, says: Within
about forty days 500 negroes have
emigrated from Greene county to Mex.
leo, and several hundred are now
awaiting arrival Of trains to take
them away. They are sacrificing
their mules, horses, cattle, ETC.,
to enable them to go, and renters are
leaving plantations they have leased
for this year. Owing to the late date
other renters cannot be obtained to
make the crop This means much loss
to the land owners and to the railroads,
as the corn and cotton will not be
grown to freight away.

says that an imperial ~edict has been
issued abolishing the use Of the knout
in the infictlon of punishment.
Hitherto the peasantry have been
completely at the mercy of the

this edict is due to the fact that sta
tistics were submitted to the czar
which showed that within the last ten
years 5000 persons convicted Of petty
thefts have died from the effects of
the knout.
