Two Cases of Shocking immortality
I'm the Minneapolis Police Cont.

Minneapolis, June 16.-Deputy Geo.
Dahl and Sergt. Gustafson last night
arrested David OXendale. alias Pat
Fletcher. and Fritz SolstrOm, on
charges of indecent assault upon two
little girls. each seven years old. The
particulars of the alleged crime as told
by the police and parents of the little
girls are too revolving for publication.
Feeling in the southern part of the
city is very high, and if the particulars
of the crime had been known before
the men were safely lodged behind the
bars it would have gone hard with
them. OXendale was arraigned in the
municipal court this morning on a
charge of vagrancy. The county at
tOrney. after looking into the case. de-
cided that there was not enough of ev-
idence to hold him upon any other
charge. He pleaded guilty and was
fined So or thirty days. Salstrom was
arraigned on a charge of indecent ex-
posture and pleaded guilty. The judge
gave him a severe lecture and fined
him so or thirty days.

KEEN-EYED OFFICER.
Recognizes Peter Peterson aS the
Man who Committed Murder.

Superior, Wis, June 16-Peter Peter
son, Finlander wanted for murder,
was captured here to-day by Officer
Mex innOn. The crime for which he
is wanted was committed about seven
years ago on a farm about five miles
south of this city, where he and his
victim were working for the farmer.
They left the house to go and get out
wood Il mile or so from the farm, and
that was the last that was seen of
either. About three months after,
when the snow had gone. the body Of
the murdered man was found with the
AK with which he had been killed lay
ing near by.
The police searched everywhere for
the murderer, and "a reward of $500
was offered by the county, but no
trace of him could be found. He had
simply vanished. But it seems he
could not keep away from the scene
of his crime. and was seen on the
street and recognized by Officer Nc
KinnOn, who was an officer OF the city
at the time of the murder, ard who
placed him under arrest.

indie unity for SUnfn.

Washington, June 15.-The Steamer
George Childs, carrying the filibuster-
ing expedition from Key West, has
landed at Jamaica. Definite informa-
ton TO this effect has been received
here. 1t was due in large measure
to the sailing of this expedition last
week that the administration letter
mined upon energetic steps to Prevent
violation of the neutrality law and
caused President Cleveland to issue
his proclamation last night. On the
statement of facts as reported to our
officials, the case bears strong re-
semblance TO the celebrated Alabama
affair. which cost the British govern
ment many millions Of dollars to set
tie, and Spain may demand an indem-
nifty from the United States.

Fourteen People Are Killed Mt a
Funeral.

Vienna, June 16. Seventy people
gathered to-day in the death chamber
Of young man at Rovigno, a seaport
town of Austria, on the west coast Of
Istria. on the Adriatic. The floor Of

falling on top of the unfortunate vic
tins. All the inhabitants of the town
hurried to the spot. The fire brigade
was called out and the soldiers in the
town rushed to the scene. All united
in efforts TO remove the debris. This
being done revealed the fact that four
teen of the mourners had been killed
and thirty had been injured. The I'M

indianapolis. Ind. June &c. Mrs.
Edward ROby of Crown Point swept
down on the attorney generals office
at the state house and administered a
lecture that Attorney General Ketch-
am will remember to his dying day.
The trouble between the state and
Roby was the direct cause OF Mrs.
ROby's vehement attack. She is q
fieshy we'll built woman, whose hus-
band is the owner of the grounds upon
which the Roby Racing association
has its plant. Ever since the attorney
general argued his case at Crown
Point Mrs. Roby is said to have been
very angry on account of the way he
roasted the patrons Of the races. There
was fire in her eye wheL she hailed
the attorney general III his official
sanctum. He was preparing to write
brief and candidly Informed her, as
he always does when he has not time
to talk. that he could not see her. and
explained why. Instantly Mrs. Roby
seemed to grow frantic. She ad-
vanced and threw her hands about
dramatically.
Il was sitting at my home" she
said. "when 500 women, w. c. T. u.
w
asked If | knew what Ketchum had
been saying against ROby people. l
replied no. and they said you had
stated that every woman who went TO
the races was beyond the pale Of So
ciety. Those are hard words to use,
Mr.. Ketchum," she added, pausing to
catch a breath Then she went on:
You are coward. sir; and not fit
to wear that button"
This remark was made as Mrs. ROby
caught sight of a q. A. X. button on
Mr.. Ketchums coat. She made a dive
for it but was not able to jerk it off.
At this point Mr. Ketchum said if
Mrs. ROby made another attempt to
lay her hands on him he would call in
the police. Then she assured the at
torney general a dozen times in sue
cesSion that he was descendant from
Jack Ketch."
Mr.. Ketchum scribbled away on his
brief. only pausing to remark that he
would hear all she had to say; but
would do nothing. Then she got down
on her knees and showed how she
could pray that the attorney generals
pTSter.ty might burn in hatleS for ever
more. This impIecatiOn over, she
rushed to Deputy MOOre's desk and be-
gan on him. He ''sassed" back, and
Mrs. Roby angrily exclaimed; Its
just such people as you that the state
labOrs to support"
Mrs. Roby'S TRADE lasted two solid
hours. When she hurled the last word
Mr.. Ketchum had finished his brief.

NO ATTEMPT TO SAVE PASSENGERS
Officers OF the steamer COlima Were
Too Busy Looking Out for
Their Own safety.

San Francisco, June 16.-GeOrge ID.
Ross, formerly a seaman in the United
States navy. was the principal witness
at to-day's Colima investigation. He
thought Capt. Taylor and other officers
incompetent, adding that no effort had
been made to save the passengers or
even warning of danger, and no eff
fort had been made to set sail aft or
steady the vessel. He characterized
the statement of Third Officer Hansen
that the boats were in proper condi-
ton for lowering as a tissue of lies
only egualed by Hansen's other false
statements regarding the shipwreck.
Ross says the Colma's boats were
swung in their checks with their
covers on and dashed down, and all
parts Of the fall strapped to the decks.
A cross-examnation failed to shake
the positiveness of Ross testimony.

SLAUGHTER OF SEALS.
Noticeable Decrease I'm the Herds Is
Reported by Capt Hooper.

Reported by Capt. Hooper.
Washington, June rs. - Capt. Hoop
err, in command of the cutter fleet in
the Boring sea, has reported TO the
treasury department that bis observa-
tiUns south of Unalaska convince him
that the seal herds moving north are
far less numerous than formerly This
scarcity, 1t is believed, is entirely due
to the indscriminate slaughter Of the
last two or three years. While pa
trolling the waters OF the North Pa
cific Capt. Hooper has boarded and
searched a number of sealers, both
Canadian and American, but there
was no evidence of unlawful killing,
and hence they were allowed to pro-
coed. In case Capt. HOOper's Observa-
tons in the open sea hold good at the
islands, it is very probable that the
maximum catch of the North Ameri-
can Commercial company will be ma
terially reduced even for the last year,
when it reached only about $4,000
skins.
